A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 192 Ice Web Spider Silk
After sending Tony back to work on the gravity equipment, Levi also plunged into his own workshop.

Although they obtained a large quantity of frost-patterned cloth and cobalt ore.

However, Li Wei did not use it to improve tailoring and blacksmithing, which primarily used these two materials.

Instead, engineering was given prominence.

Many engineering items in the "80 version" are far more practical than those in the "70 version".

Among them was the "elastic spider silk" that Li Wei had long coveted.

In the game, Elastic Spider Silk is a device attached to a cloak, primarily made of Frostweave Cloth and the engineering item Overload Capacitor.

Its main effects are to increase spell power slightly and to give the cloak the effect of a parachute.

However, in the real world, and especially in the Marvel Universe, it's hard for Levi not to connect the bouncy web with Spider-Man's webs.

Moreover, the engineering recipe for Elastic Spider Silk has a low level requirement, requiring only 380 points, which is only five points higher than the "70 version" engineering pinnacle.

In addition, the overload capacitor itself is a 375 original component.

Therefore, Li Wei only needed to make five overload capacitors to reach the required skill level.

However, after the formula appeared, Levi did not attach the device to the cloak, but instead tried to modify it in the direction of the little spider's web shooter.

Having worked in engineering for so long these past two years and frequently exchanging ideas with Tony, Levi is now considered a mechanical expert.

While we can't yet create things like the Arc Reactor and Iron Man suits, modifying some small devices is no problem at all.

They quickly modified a rudimentary spider silk emitter.

However, during this process, Li Wei also discovered something quite absurd.

Because the "spider silk" was made from frost-patterned cloth, it was more accurate to say that it was a restoration rather than a creation.

As mentioned before, Frostweave Cloth is woven from the silk spun by a large ice worm in Jotunheim, making it an excellent magical material.

The so-called elastic spider silk is actually just fabric being restored to silk – which is difficult to evaluate.

And after making the elastic spider silk, Levi also discovered a very serious problem.

That is, the toughness and elasticity of this "spider silk" are extremely strong.

Li Wei did some testing and concluded that these two properties were definitely no weaker than the spider silk made by the future little spider, and might even be stronger.

Moreover, as a magical material, this thing can even inflict magical damage when it is shot out.

But here’s the problem.

It has elasticity and toughness.

However, its adhesiveness is very poor.

Poor adhesion means that this "spider silk" cannot allow him to swing around like Spider-Man.

Therefore, Levi's idea of ​​making everyone in the League of Legends a Spider-Man failed.

However, Li Wei did not give up because of this.

Since the restored "spider silk" is not sticky, what about fresh one?

Could it be because the Frost Giants removed all the original stickiness from the silk when they wove it?
It's understandable that he would think that way, since if the adhesive were too strong, it wouldn't be possible to weave the fabric, let alone wear it.

With this in mind, Li Wei left his workshop and headed to Jotunheim once again.

They quickly found a bug nest, based on the description they had previously obtained from the Frost Giants they had stolen.

Then he discovered something shocking.

Although these ice worms are not spiders, but worms larger than a human, they can still weave webs and use them to hunt.

It's just magical.

Li Wei approached the wormhole and felt a web of insects, then touched it slightly with his left hand.

Sure enough, it was not only extremely sticky, but also had a chill that went deep into your bones.

Then... he found his hands stuck. With just a few shakes, a fat, large ice worm crawled out from the corner.

They were eyeing Li Wei, the prey that had come to them, with predatory intent.

Upon seeing this, a fireball appeared on Li Wei's right hand, which he then moved towards the net that was stuck to his left hand.

Even if it wasn't burned, the originally cold and sticky feeling instantly dissipated.

Sure enough, ice is afraid of fire.

Li Wei then threw the fireball in his hand at the ice worm.

With a "boom," the ice worm's head exploded.

Because the fireball Li Wei used was not an ordinary flame, but hellfire.

Although these ice worms are naturally quite powerful, they are far from being able to resist hellfire.

However, Li Wei's behavior stirred up a hornet's nest.

Soon, a series of rustling sounds came from inside the wormhole, as one after another enormous ice worm was disturbed and surrounded Li Wei.

Seeing the ice worms swarming towards him, Li Wei raised an eyebrow and took out a gravity bracer that Tony had just made from his spatial backpack and put it on his wrist.

The gravity device Tony created, once activated, will form a protective force field around the user in a very small area.

Therefore, Li Wei, as the user, will not be affected by the gravity of the device.

However, the ice worms that approached Li Wei within twenty meters and attempted to attack him were all pressed to the ground by gravity and unable to move.

Compared to the "brainless" insects on Earth, the fact that this ice worm from Jotunheim can grow to such a large size clearly indicates that it possesses some intelligence.

Seeing that one by one of Li Wei's companions who approached him suddenly lay on the ground as if dead, the ice worms in the distance stopped approaching and instead tried to spray a liquid for a ranged attack.

However, it was of little use. Even liquids are affected by gravity. The force that could have been sprayed at Li Wei could not even travel more than a few meters within the gravitational field.

Amidst the menacing gazes of these ice worms, Li Wei calmly took out the tools he had prepared beforehand and began collecting the worm silk.

With Li Wei's strength, he could easily annihilate the entire swarm of insects in the wormhole.

However, doing so is pointless.

After all, Li Wei's purpose was merely to collect insect silk.

There is no need to exhaust the resources of a resource-intensive endeavor.

He had already learned about it last time.

Although Jotunheim is much larger than Earth, its harsh natural environment results in a small number of biodiversity species.

Killing one or two isn't a big problem.

However, if Li Wei obtains the insect silk through mass slaughter, then these ice insects will likely become extinct very soon.

Then Li Wei would have committed a terrible sin.

However, after Li Wei collected the first complete silk thread, he received an unexpected surprise.

Because this spider silk is clearly displayed as "ice web spider silk" in the system.

Ice Web Spider Silk is a high-level material required for many recipes in the "Version 80" tailoring skill.

The appearance of this thing can be said to have saved Li Wei a lot of trouble when he upgrades his tailoring skills in the future.

After all, the higher the skill level, the more complex the materials required.

If we can get rid of one thing, we should get rid of one thing.

Driven by this motivation, Li Wei diligently continued to collect "spider silk" in the wormhole.

Gradually, they discovered that the strange creature Levi seemed to be only interested in their silk, and since they couldn't do anything about Levi, the ice worms in the wormhole eventually gave up confronting Levi and let him do as he pleased.
