The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 60, Smelter and Ceramic Steel

The best talent in this smelter is a Fontaine mechanic who escaped to Grey River to make a living...but that guy studied mechanics and is mainly responsible for repairing furnaces.

These guys are actually just Fugate's tools.

"Boss, you're here." The person in charge of the smelter hurried forward to greet him after seeing Fuget.

The person in charge was a somewhat educated Fatui soldier, who was promoted to captain after he followed Fugate to manage the factory.

"Has my ceramic steel met the requirements?" Fugate chose to get straight to the point.

The person in charge said with a bitter face: "It has not yet reached your requirements, but we have made a lot of progress. The best batch of ceramic steel has reached 87.2% of your required standards. We are continuing to optimize the relevant processes according to your instructions."

"This is the president of the Thorn Rose Society, Carres. He needs a batch of ceramic steel. Give him a batch that looks okay."

"Send a batch to my workshop as well."

"Yes, boss," the person in charge received the boss of the Thorn Rose Club, and then the two sides started a heated exchange.

In the end, both parties returned satisfied.

The person in charge processed a batch of materials that Fugate disliked and recovered a large sum of money, while Cares obtained a batch of very high-quality metals that he needed.

As long as the subsequent processing is completed, he can speed up the advancement of his own waterway project, and then he will be able to gain both fame and fortune.

Fugate didn't care about these little things.

He has arrived at the workshop and started operating the power hammer.

The power hammer weighing several tons hit the red-hot ceramic steel hard.

Fugate manipulated the shaping of the ceramic steel while using his psychic powers to sort out the microscopic structure of the ceramic steel.

Improve the performance of its steel, and then import the elemental force into it so that it can better guide the elemental force.

After most of the day, Fugett obtained the rough drafts of four weapons.

"Okay, this material should be close to real ceramic steel." Fuget said, touching his chin, "Let me see how effective the weapon made of ceramic steel is."

Fuget took out a silver sword that had been upgraded to the maximum level and a newly forged silver sword.

Then the test started.

The hardness of a full-level silver sword is much worse than that of a rough ceramic steel sword that has not been heat-treated, not to mention a newly forged silver sword, which will shatter at the slightest touch.

Fugate then heat-treated the rough piece, followed by final shaping and polishing.

After adding the decorations, a weapon is successfully created.

Tradition of Dawn? Just like Hetala learned it after watching it many times, forging iron is too easy for humans whose brains are fully developed and whose bodies have become ferocious.

Fugate has read a lot of books on mechanics and has his own experience in metal processing and blacksmithing.

After quenching with a specially formulated grease, Fuget also performs the final micro-grinding and sharpening.

"Try it." Fugate handed the weapon to the smelter manager next to him.

The person in charge, after playing with the weapon for a few times, he couldn't do it anymore... The quality of this ceramic steel is good, but it is indeed a bit too heavy.

"This one-handed sword can only be used by captains and above of the Fatui officers (LV50+) who are good at fighting."

"For a two-handed sword, you need to be level 60 or above, or a human with extraordinary talent who has completed the physical transformation to be ferocious can use it successfully."

"For bows and arrows, LV50+, and for spears and two-handed swords, it's about the same."

"And a lot of Teyvat's local techniques have been incorporated into this, so this thing can actually be upgraded..."

While Fuget was muttering to himself, the person in charge tried all the weapons with great difficulty.

"Bring me some fine ore for forging," said Fugate.

The person in charge quickly put down his weapon and went to get something.

After a while, Fuget completed the weapon upgrade and upgraded it to LV70 (without breakthrough) without any hindrance.

However, this is already the limit. Next, this weapon needs to accompany its master to complete a series of adventures and continue to grow as the master experiences various things.

"What is the quality of these weapons?" asked Fugate.

"It is naturally excellent, not inferior to the works of famous craftsmen." said the person in charge.

But unfortunately, it was not him but the system that covered the special question.

[Four-star weapons are just the better ones among the four-star weapons. And according to the properties of ceramic steel, these weapons will probably never degenerate into their original form.]

"Hmm~" Fget nodded and put the weapons into the Eye of God.

Next, the children of Hearth House had a small tournament, and Fugate prepared to take out a weapon as a reward for the winner.

"It's been a long time since I felt relaxed, and I feel a bit like I have nothing to do."

Of course, it's not that he really has nothing to do, but everything is progressing in an orderly manner at this stage, and he actually has some free time.

"Come to think of it, I seem to have been in Fontaine for such a long time but I still haven't seen Ms. Funina's drama performance." Fugate touched his chin.

"I don't know when I can see Ms. Funina's latest performance."

"Newspaper seller, sir, do you need a newspaper?" said a newsboy.

"Give me a Steam Bird Newspaper." Fugate said, handing over a low-value Mora.

"Here you go, sir." The newsboy handed over a Steambird newspaper. "I also have the Fontaine Daily and the Fontaine Court Gossip and Entertainment News. I wonder if you need them, sir."

"No need." Fugate, who has lived in Fontaine for several years, also knows that in the entire Fontaine, only the Steambird Newspaper, the largest newspaper in Fontaine, has some conscience. The rest of the tabloids do not have any real information.

Of course, you can still treat it as fun.

But Fugate wanted to obtain sufficient information, so what he wanted naturally was the Steambird News.

The information in the Steambird newspaper is famous for its extensive content. It not only contains some recent major events in Fontaine Garden, but also some pages on popular science, astrology, etc.

Of course, there was also an entertainment section, and Fugate wanted to find Funina's opera performance on it.

Unfortunately...it was not found.

"It seems that Ms. Funina has no opera performances recently, so how about going to the Obi Klay Theater to watch the trial? I am also a little concerned about the Manghuang energy."

In the memory of the memory bank, the Manghuang energy is extremely terrifying. It can not only supply energy for the entire Fontaine, but also gather into a big sword to destroy the throne of the God of Water.

Soon Fugate returned to the Buffati Mansion.

"Look at this." Fuget showed Xiamian the weapon he had forged.

Of course Arecino was involved.

Because of the Doctor, the relationship between Alechino and Fugate is very good now.

"Is this the weapon you prepared for those children? Although the quality is good, it is a bit too heavy." Alechino said after trying it.

"This is determined by the materials, and if the body is made more ferocious, the weight of this thing will actually be just that," Fgate explained.

"Becoming more violent...that's a long process." Alecino rolled his eyes.

Even the [Servant] has not yet completed his transformation into a violent one, let alone the others.

But it will be soon. Alechino now often feels his blood rushing, which is a precursor to the completion of his body's violent transformation.

However, the previous times when his body became ferocious only improved Alechino's strength. According to the game, Alechino's health, defense and resistance to various elements were all improved.

The attack power will naturally be improved, but since Alechino is already quite powerful, the increase in attack power is expected to be in the single digits.

Only after the seventh or eighth violent transformation can Alechino's strength be greatly increased.

The increase in ferocity is more reflected in the strengthening of endurance, resistance and life essence.

"I heard you say this isn't the strongest?" Alechino was surprised at the material.

He can remain safe and sound in his own blood and fire.

"It's still a little short of standard ceramic steel. We should be able to use standard ceramic steel in a few months."

By then, we will be able to mix it with adamantium to forge power armor.

In fact, most of the time, Fuget wanted to rub it with his hands, but when he thought of the large number, he backed off. It was not because he was afraid of being tired. Fuget had waded through the mountains of books and oceans of learning in the Academy of Teachings. It was just a little physical fatigue.

The reason for not doing so is not only that he has to be really tired, but also the appearance of nothingness is an important reason. The power of fate is regulating Fuget's actions and does not allow Fuget to do so.

If they really did that, the erosion of nothingness would probably intensify. A few days later, the competition in the Bufadi Mansion was held as scheduled.

Although they only have wooden swords and wooden knives in their hands, these unsharpened weapons in the hands of the new generation have shown power that is no less powerful than normal metal-bladed weapons.

Alechino personally served as the referee, so basically no one would choose to let the game go.

However, the increase brought by the Eye of God is obviously not to be underestimated.

Soon two guys with God's Eyes stood out from all the contestants.

However, there are also a few older ones (17 or 18 years old) who have undergone more brutal training and now have abundant resources, so they are the strongest in the conventional sense.

Even with the blessing of the Eye of God, without the attachment of the selected element, Linny and Linnet are no match for these people.

If these people were released among the Fatui, they would at least be lieutenants.

But unfortunately, they belong to Arlecino's faction and are from the Hearth House, so those wealthy businessmen and politicians will not give them this opportunity.

If they joined the Fatui, they would be inexplicably involved in political struggles and then inexplicably sacrificed.

They are sent to carry out high-risk missions, and complete them with risk of death, only to find that they are facing an even more dangerous mission next time.

······
"Teacher, I think you need to take a look at this." Kuru's words rang in Fuget's ears.

Fuget, who was optimizing the design, raised his head and looked at Kuru who existed in the form of a projection.

"So what's going on?" asked Fugate.

"We have discovered an unknown creature. The King of Plants (Great Mercy Tree King) has temporarily trapped it, but none of us have seen such a creature, so we hope you can go and take a look." Kuru said.

"I understand. Wait until I finish this." Fugate said as he continued to perfect the design in his hand.

It took about a quarter of an hour to complete the design of this part. After it was completed, Fuget said to Kuru, "Let's go, let me see what kind of special creature it is that can make you pay so much attention to it."

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to see you again." Fuget bowed slightly and saluted the King of Plants.

"I am no longer the Great Kind Tree King." The King of Grass and Trees said, "Are you here for that strange creature?"

"Yes, Kuru notified me to come and take a look." said Fugate.

The two of them came together into a cage made of grass and trees.

"This little guy is born with the ability to jump dimensions, so we can only solidify this piece of space to imprison this little guy."

"This little guy is very timid, but also has a very high level of intelligence... I mean, smarter than many humans."

"I thought you were also from outer space, so I wanted to see if you recognized it." said the Great Compassion Tree King.

It was a strange creature, like a pig, but with full muscles all over its body.

It was white on top and black on the bottom, and was huddled in the corner of the cage, shivering.

"This... seems to be a 'piggy bank' and it looks like it should be a 'piggy bank' tainted with the scent of abundance. Travelers in the starry sky have always regarded this as a good omen." Fuget touched his chin and retrieved the existence of this creature from his memory bank.

This piggy bank keeps saying something like it's afraid.

Fuget also revealed his own aura of fertility (Fuget once used the Dew of Fertility, so he had the aura of fertility).

Afterwards, the little guy was no longer nervous.

"Eliminate hostility and appease intelligent creatures." Fugate released his psychic magic, and the piggy bank was no longer afraid.

"Unimpeded communication." Fugate once again released the prophecy magic, so that the piggy bank could understand what he said.

Fugate himself doesn't need this witchcraft, he has a synesthesia beacon.

"Okay, don't worry. There are no bad guys here."

"Oh~ Did you accidentally enter the spiritual dimension while traveling?"

"What about the surrounding star regions? Is there any war?"

The piggy bank said all that it could say, mumbling.

"So that's how it is. Did you come here because you sensed the scent of precious metals?" Fergate nodded.

Fugate took out some Mora and handed it to the piggy bank, who started eating it.

Then Fuget told the King of Plants and Trees behind him and several of his apprentices about the information he had gained.

"The area nearby is a relatively barren star region. This piggy bank was affected by a war between humans and the Zerg, and therefore left the planet where it originally lived."

"Because the war directly destroyed the planet, these piggy banks have no place to live, so they can only make ultra-long-distance jumps to the surrounding star fields."

"After jumping nearby, he ran to our place."

"That's probably what happened."

Then, without even looking at the horrified look in Piggy Bank's eyes, Fugate said to him, "Mind-reading ability, little guy."

The piggy bank gave up struggling and then let the Great Compassion Tree King open the piggy bank's cage.

"Come on." Fuget took out a dewdrop that blessed him with abundance, and the piggy bank crawled over and ate the dewdrop.

"Then you will be my piggy bank from now on," said Fugate.

"Then I will take this little guy away." Fugate said to the King of Plants.

"Take it away." The King of Plants didn't care about this troublesome creature.

What she cared about was the information revealed in the intelligence. It turned out that Phanes's action of isolating the universe and Teyvat was correct.

Compared to Teyvat, there are too many dangers in the entire universe.

Fortunately, Fuget does not have the ability to read the mind of the King of Plants, otherwise he would definitely complain... Teyvat is considered a very troublesome and dangerous place in the entire universe.

Although the resources are indeed abundant, the degree of danger is also first-rate.

After saying this, Fugate prepared to take his new pet back to the Buffati Mansion.

"cat?"

On the other side, the cat Dahei, who was enjoying the offerings of other local cats in the Mond area, suddenly sensed a hint of threat.

Then the cat Dahei dispersed the cats that came to offer sacrifices, and then the whole cat took two steps and came to the subspace. Yes, cats can also walk in the subspace.

Then he saw his old master, holding a pig, preparing to leave.

The cat was shocked. How could a pig dare to snatch its owner from the cat?

So the big black cat meowed and rushed towards Fgate.

It doesn’t matter that Fuget disappeared. Dahei continues to rush along the traces left by the psychic energy.

"Dahei, you're back." The cat Dahei was grabbed by the back of the neck by his mistress Xia Mian.

"Hey~ Why is Dahei back?" Fugate said while holding the piggy bank.

"Meow~" Dahei complained to his mistress that Fugate was fickle.

"Go away, a cat can be jealous." Fugate rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you tell me how long you've been away from home."

The originally quiet Xiamian Laboratory suddenly became lively, attracting many people to come and watch.

"Why is it so lively?" Linny said, "Wow~ What a big black cat. It feels bigger than Roslan (the black cat in the Buffalo Mansion who likes to get into Linny's hat)."

"No, it's much bigger," Linnette emphasized.

Linnet has the characteristics of a cat, and I am also very interested in cats.

"And this pig? It's so small." Femini saw the piggy bank on Fugate's shoulder that had shrunk to the size of a palm.

"This is not a pig, it's a piggy bank." Fgate explained, but the effect was not good. Everyone basically thought it was a mutant pig.

Then everyone fell silent because Alecino arrived.

"You haven't finished today's training yet? Why don't you hurry up and train?" Alechino said with the majestic look of a father.

"Yes! Father." Everyone immediately scattered.

"What is this? Your pet?" After everyone had left, Alechino asked curiously.

Actually, Alechino also likes pets very much.
