Chapter 803 -558: The Great Craftsman Competition_3
“Are you sure you don’t need me to step in?”
Lu Yuan was a bit conflicted; he felt that these craftsmen were too confident, as if they were setting up a flag!
But on second thought, his Field Industrialization needed to be spread worldwide, marking the unique imprint of the Ninth Epoch. If he failed in such a place, it would be better to just find a piece of tofu and take himself out.
“If we lose, it would be better to commit collective suicide.” Li Datie stiffened his neck, making a military pledge.
As the first generation craftsman from the Sha Li Clan, he had followed the Great Commander across various lands over the years and deeply understood the formidable power of “Field Industrialization.”
“Hahaha.” Everyone started shouting, their expressions wild.
Lu Yuan thought about it; he could indeed just be a backup player, and if it really didn’t work out, he could step in at the last moment to turn the tide.
…
…
“Losing the second round was a major setback for us. But this round is within the scope of our Dwarven Civilization’s advantages, and we must win it!”
On the other side, the dwarf craftsmen were also full of confidence.
The dwarves themselves were a race with racial values inclined towards forging. They had been preparing for this moment: to fully showcase a powerful team of craftsmen, in a world where development is more important than war!
Craftsmanship is the foundation of mindful development!
One by one, ancient forging tools were being relocated from the Floating Fortress, including melting furnaces, machine tools, cutting machines, engraving tables, etc., filling up an area the size of a large playground in an instant.
This time, there were no restrictions on materials for the gambling competition, even if you used Immortal Level materials, it wasn’t prohibited!
Of course, foolishly engaging in such high-cost behavior was not something either humans or dwarves would do.
The duration of the craftsman gambling competition is 7 days.
All crafting activities must cease after 7 days.
The leading Copperbeard Dwarf raised his hammer and shouted, “Only victory is allowed, no failure!”
Many craftsmen roared, “Victory!”
“Council President, what should we forge?”
“Create works you are skilled in, popular, and proud of. It’s best if you can also come up with a legendary piece that will astonish the world!” Stormbrew stroked his big beard, various thoughts surfacing in his mind, “Can you craft Legendary Equipment?”
The Copperbeard Dwarf was taken aback for a moment, “We currently don’t have any inspiration, how could we forge something out of thin air? Unless you give me higher-grade materials! At least Legendary Level materials to be more confident.”
“We do have some Legendary Materials in our inventory. You are now authorized to use them.”
Another craftsman, with a bitter face, couldn’t quite understand, “Council President, even if we manage to create a Legendary Masterpiece at great expense, can we sell it cheaply? This competition is about sales volume.”
“If we price it too high, other civilizations can’t afford it. Such behavior is truly foolish and wasteful.”
“Legendary items gather Qi Fortune. Selling them cheaply might lead to the Senate strongly condemning and even impeaching you.”
Stormbrew waved his hand, “No, we definitely won’t sell it cheap! Even if it doesn’t sell, it doesn’t matter. This masterpiece is simply to display the mighty abundance of our Dwarf Civilization… It’s essentially a showcase.”
“I understand, as long as we have high-grade materials, we can still create a legendary item.” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The Copperbeard Dwarf waved to his companions and stepped out the door.
Two hundred craftsmen, full of vigor, marched onto the Duel Arena, forging extraordinary items in their respective areas.
Extraordinary Forging mainly focused on manual craftsmanship, as only human effort can give birth to supernatural effects.
However, many times technological artifacts like 3D printers, advanced machine tools, punch presses, cutting machines, molds, etc., are also used as support.
As for tiny things like chips and sensors, they can’t be handcrafted—of course, humans didn’t really sell electronic products either.
Therefore, the forging techniques of the two civilizations actually had subtle differences.
Humans leaned a bit towards materialism, with high-end machine tools rumbling to handle tasks like metal smelting, filing, and cutting, all left to machines.
The Dwarf Clan had a noticeably lower usage rate of technological equipment.
This time, the rules of the gambling competition required items to be sold, allowing representatives from various races to observe on-site. The atmosphere was not as tense as it was initially.
Soon, the Duel Arena became lively like a market.
It was rare to see such a spectacle of massive numbers of craftsmen forging in close proximity.
“Are they trying to produce Giant Divine Weapons?” Lu Yuan saw several dwarves using a cutting machine to sever and separate metal, “In 7 days, can they make a fully functional Giant Divine Weapon? That’s quite complex, isn’t it?”
“Our civilization’s Giant Divine Weapons have several versions!” the Copperbeard Dwarf glanced at him, “There are combat versions capable of housing pilots and automated mining versions… I’m now creating a Giant Divine Weapon designed to extract Earth Vein Energy, capable of drilling ten thousand meters into the ground to absorb Earth Vein Energy.”
“I see, once it’s done, how much can you earn from one extraction?”
“Once charged, it earns about 1.7 Spirit Essence, and the entire process takes 6-12 months.”
“That’s quite something… Humans don’t have this technology.”
Lu Yuan also saw a dwarf crafting a gear the size of a tire, “This should be the core control structure… Is it content from the Gear Manual?”
“You humans know about the Gear Manual too?” This Copperbeard Dwarf did not hide it; perhaps every craftsman possessed a genuine heart, which was how they could reach higher realms.
Lu Yuan smiled but said nothing, watching them forge that core gear, engrave runes, and inscribe energy circuits.
