I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 630 - 117: The Eve of Coronation

This equipment panel is just too cool!

These years, Sword Fairy has been lining her own pockets, collaborating to start the Xinyi Newspaper, making money from Xirong Academy... and managed to get herself such top-notch equipment?

Quite the player!

"See, this is truly in line with our combat system."

"It's also a new discipline that I've established over the past hundred years in Xirong Academy, Artifact Cultivation, formally known as Human Transplantation and Magical Artifact Modification."

"It's specifically tailored for those academic scholars who lack combat power. They've dedicated their lifeblood into their profession, leaving them very weak, and what's before us is to provide them with the ability to protect themselves."

The Medical Fairy smiled, "It's also quite suitable for those of us who are failed Possession cases, lacking formal training, and unaware of spells and divine techniques which are things that can't be made up in a mere few hundred years."

"Developing a combat core to assist in battles, mechanical immortal cultivation is our path... once we establish a nation, we can serve as the army to defend our country!"

The Fourth Calamity that can't fight, what's Fourth Calamity all about? Although the main focus is business, a force to defend oneself is still necessary,

When defending the nation, a crowd of fearless ironworkers rushing forward should give off a world-ending feeling, unlike a bunch of fearless fools rushing up only to be slapped to death like clowns.

"You're a bit over the top. You haven't even established the nation yet, you're acting as a puppet king, and you're already thinking about the development after founding the nation?" Dizzy was speechless.

Though the players are very cocky, thinking of themselves as brilliant.

But it's not even in sight yet.

The Medical Fairy smiled, saying: "Anyway, after founding the nation, over at the Sea Tribe, we can follow this path, rally the whole Sea Tribe's rebel army's power, and the [equipment] system can appear."

"Gloves, bracers, leggings, chest armor, main hand weapon, off-hand weapon..."

The Medical Fairy's eyes sparkled, dreaming of the future, "The underwater mechanized city... combined with my prosthetic eye which can see attributes, how cool would that be."

Even Dizzy had to admit, it was very enticing.

Up till now, "Sword Casting Manor" hasn't given them anything, it's too free. Every single attribute function, they created themselves.

The critical equipment function has appeared, marking a major revolution.

However, this will consume the strength of the entire nation, and only after achieving fame from the battle with the Sea Tribe in five days will they have the chance.

Dizzy pressed his temples, "Your equipment mechanical path seems like one route, but there's undoubtedly other paths too."

"What other paths are there?" The Medical Fairy snorted coldly.

Dizzy opened his mouth, momentarily speechless, just couldn't stand how smug the Medical Fairy was.

Moreover, he felt that with Immortal Spirit Root, there are infinite possibilities... there must be other ways.

"For example, beast taming?" Dizzy couldn't help but say.

"Beast taming?" The Medical Fairy was speechless, "What do you mean?"

"Create an Immortal Artifact that can inject our mana into an Immortal Beast to let the beast fight on our behalf?" Dizzy tilted his neck, thinking about it, "Many Beast Taming Sects rely on beasts for combat."

"Could work, I guess."

Sword Fairy thought about it, "But the [prosthetic eye] would certainly have to be standard, to see data, information, and build a central processor for quantitative analysis.... This is the scientific immortal cultivation way, big data integration, collecting, allowing us to progress rapidly."

...

...

Whether Medical Fairy and Dizzy are already overinflated to the heavens, chatting about their future civilization path ruling the Sea Tribe and becoming the Sea Tribe's emperor.

In contrast, the current Sword Casting Manor is undergoing a major renovation.

Or perhaps...

A major simplification.

For the entire morning, Embers was scurrying around like a headless chicken.

But in the end, the possession project was completely finished, and all Embers babies vanished, gone without a trace.

Only the ironworkers remained.

The ironworkers even cheered themselves.

"My baby, born rebellious, earning money with bricklaying and refusing to hand it over, even asking me to hand over money to him... now he's finally gone, and has merged with me." One cried out, accusing his baby's deceitfulness.

The crowd looked at him, their expressions odd.

You're insulting your baby for being wicked, are you sure you aren't insulting yourself?

"Indeed, indeed." Someone quickly said: "Your baby is heartless, a dumbass."

Moreover, some said:

"The logical flaw of Embers, because it doesn't remember it died.... It will harmonize away all death-related matters, hence it doesn't recall our online activities, the money it earns, we spend."

"That's cool!"

"Exploit, exploit, exploit, hehe hahaha!"

"Love you for optimizing many things, allowing us more energy to invest in new functions."

...

"Feels like it's gone back to the beginning."

Jiucai Rong shook his body, "My Embers Jiucai Rong, can work at night too."

Night Mad Cultivator also smiled and nodded, "My Embers baby, will hang-up at night, let him do overtime, I'll be reviewing during the day, then I'll have lots and lots of time to play."

Jiucai Rong also smiled.

At night, let him prepare the next day's daily task announcement, manage various operations of the manor.

He doesn't need to work during the day, handle some key affairs, and can enjoy leisure everywhere.

This new [Hang-up Function] is quite satisfying.

All morning, everyone was adapting to the new hang-up function.

With nearly half of the ghostly population gone from the manor, the square felt much emptier.

Moreover, with their Yin Yang Fusion, many people became the embers of lower and middle-grade Immortal Spirit Roots, causing a sudden surge in combat power.

Originally, the grotesques at the Five-Body Realm Great Perfection directly transformed into Immortal Spirit Root grotesques at the Four Viscera Realm.

Cultivators from the outside at the Four Viscera Realm came over and had to take a stiff drink to handle it.

The blacksmiths have also gained initial combat power, with stronger forging force, increased precision in stitching, and greatly improved endurance for moving bricks.

One can only say it is an all-around significant enhancement.

The widespread adoption of Immortal Spirit Root blacksmiths, along with the hang-up function, is enough to increase their daily production by more than five times.

This is an astonishing figure.

At the same time here, offline, the place is full of brutal grotesques, already starting to have the danger level of a secret realm's desperate situation.

Noon.

After having lunch in the canteen, they faced their first afternoon without embers.

Nowadays, many blacksmiths believe that "offline hang-up at night" can also yield fixed magic coin income, increasingly resembling some hang-up idle mobile games.

Thus, they are not as eager to move bricks anymore, and many have resumed studying strategies for dungeons and how to handle matters with the Bone Demon Sect.

There are only five days left.

It seems very short, and indeed... it is short.

They can only make one final sprint.

Over at Xirong Academy, Dizzy and the Medical Fairy are quickly adapting, boosting their combat power.

At Sword Casting Manor, they began chopping newly logged-in small-boned demons, generating bubbles, which gathered into the Dharma Aspect of the Bone Demon General, preparing to research substitutes.

"The proportion seems a bit off."

"What's off?"

"It lacks the rotund, kind and amiable salted fish demeanor of the old steward."

"???"

"I think, add some other elements."

"What elements?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Add some Meiling Fish's Dharma Aspect, Food God, come over and get chopped, 90% bone demon bubble + 10% Meiling Fish bubble, mix it, it should have an appealing charm of enchantment, quite fitting for the Emperor."

"Wow, makes sense."

"Such an affable rebel Emperor should have an entry CG worth watching, preferably with a few lines."

"By then, who will control this ember substitute?"

"Control it together?"

"Why so interested? The substitute, going to ascend the throne, is just there to get beaten up, to be besieged, just to see how they'll be killed."

Time passed second by second.

Four days went by gradually, the entire Sea Race was in turmoil, and various forces were watching intently.

Tomorrow, the enthronement will happen.

...

The Other Shore Ark.

Bian Shuang pressed her temples, troubled, "Unexpectedly, things developed like this? It feels like we inadvertently trapped them."

Wu Wangmeng chuckled, "They tricked us first, who knew that a minor pitfall for them, coupled with some publicity, would trigger such a massive chain reaction?"

"This isn't a chain reaction; it's the trend of the times. It happened to become the probing point for the Dragon Race." Bian Shuang smiled.

Though there was some guilt about trapping the Bone Demon Sect, it was fleeting.

If it were the Human Race with such a talented new force… they might support and invest in them.

But on the Sea Race side, being not of the Human Race, it's normal to deal them a blow.

The inter-racial conflicts from ages past are still prevalent there.

"Let's go, let's take another look later." Bian Shuang said.

"Bringing our ancestral graves over wouldn't be to join the war, right?" Wu Wangmeng asked worriedly.

"Of course not."

Bian Shuang showed a sly look, "We're neutral, can't partake in the Sea Race's internal strife, breaking the rules; with so many ancestral graves, going to the battlefield is merely for self-preservation."

"I discussed with others, and everyone decided to take the arks, circle around, to watch, treat it like a beast fighting arena, and sell goods and battle resources."

Wu Wangmeng: "....."

The Human Race is truly unscrupulous; making a circle, what's the difference from the old ancestral city walls?

A group of humans standing on the ancient ancestral walls, all sides, watching the Sea Race's internal fight... enjoying food and drink, it's a bit too low.

"Let's go, tomorrow is the enthronement."

Bian Shuang turned the ship around, "Let's see that Bone King, the enthronement scene must be quite interesting."
