The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 67, Back Road

"The Winter Palace sent a letter of reprimand. The doctor's strongest slice died." Although she received a letter of reprimand from the commander-in-chief, Alechino's face was full of smiles.

This time, killing the doctor's strongest slicer was a relief for Alechino.

Suddenly I felt that my spiritual energy became much more active.

"It is highly likely that the patient died at the doctor's own hands." Fugate took the letter of reprimand, glanced at it and extracted some information he needed from it.

"?"

"You seem very confused about this." Fugate chuckled twice before explaining, "I understand that guy's research philosophy, but that's why I came to this conclusion."

“The strongest slices must be made from the best materials.”

"And good materials mean they are difficult to repair, and repairing it may cost more resources than making a new one."

"After all, I have great confidence in your fire," said Fuget.

The flames that Alecino now exploded with all his strength were a mixture of ordinary fire elements (Eye of the Fire Element God), extraordinary fire elements (Evil Eye of the Fire Element), the blood fire of the Evil Moon (Red Moon Bloodline) that could cause world bugs, and the psychic fire (psychic power) that burned the soul.

The injuries caused by multi-dimensional burning are extremely difficult to recover from.

Moreover, the fire element of Teyvat has the property of rekindling, so you can see how difficult it is.

This is also the reason why some difficult injuries can linger on high-level life forms for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Of course, if a high-level life form specializes in immortality, it is hard to say whether it can regenerate at an extremely fast speed.

High-level life forms that specialize in immortality may not be the strongest, but they are definitely the most difficult to deal with.

Although Alechino's regeneration ability is still some distance away from super-speed regeneration, it is already working towards that direction.

"By the way, it's best not to get too close to Xiaofeng when your vitality hasn't recovered recently."

"?"

"Xiaofeng's healing ability is to share his abundant life force with others."

"You are too powerful. You need a lot of vitality to recover. I'm afraid you will suck Xiaofeng to death." said Fugate.

Of course, what Fugate said was an exaggeration, and Xiaofeng was not a fool, but it was still possible for him to be sucked dry like a piggy bank. However, this also shows that Xiaofeng is really not suitable for entering places like hospitals.

After all, Xiaofeng is fulfilling his destiny of abundance, and it takes time for him to restore his vitality.

Xiaofeng often sees injured people and subconsciously shares his own vitality with them. This is very good for other people, but very bad for Xiaofeng himself, as it is not conducive to his own growth.

Xiaofeng needs to digest the feedback of fate before sharing life next time, so that he can increase his life limit without side effects, or in other words, the upper limit of health value and the upper limit of life span are also correct.

"I understand." Alecino held her forehead and said that she seemed to have overlooked something. It turned out that she had not seen the piggy bank that was inseparable from Fugate.

It turned out that Fuget had arranged for him to hide from him. Alecino had never been injured before, so he had never been treated by Xiaofeng.

But after what Fuget said, Alechino became more interested in the piggy bank.

After all, having a pet with healing abilities is what many people dream of.

And according to Fuget, Xiaofeng's excess life force can even heal some deep-seated injuries. Well~ the value of this abundance piggy bank is still rising.

"That's right." Fugate slapped his forehead, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Alechino.

"This is the bill that Batu handed to you. Just pay it when you have time. Of course, you don't have to pay it. The boy has been addicted to playing cards recently and probably has almost forgotten about this matter. It's up to you whether to pay it or not."

"..." Alechino looked through it. Although he recovered faster, the various medicines were really not cheap.

Alechino summed up the money and found that the money for his treatment was enough to cover half of the expenses of the Buffati Mansion, the headquarters of Fontaine Hearth House.

So...Alechino decided to default on the debt, but it can't be said that he completely defaulted on the debt. In short, he will pay it back when he has money in the future.

As for when Arlecchino will have money?
She herself didn't know. She didn't have any private treasury at the moment. Most of the money she handled was public-to-public, and her only personal property was the executive officer's allowance issued by the Fatui.

She often used these allowances to supplement the expenses of the Buffati Mansion, so she didn't save much.

"I don't think I'll be able to pay it back for a long time." Alecino complained, "We'll talk about this later."

Handing the bill back to Fugate, Arlecchino pretended not to have seen it.

Out of sight, out of mind. Although the bill was expensive, Arecino knew that it was already the price of a medical procedure, and many of the medicines included were calculated at cost.

Fugate didn't say anything and just put it away again.

"Hmm? What?" Fuget scratched his head as he looked at Alechino who had not left. "Anything else?"

"That's all." Alecino left.

Fuget continued to assemble the helmet. This time the helmet was no longer the inferior ceramic steel helmet before, but a helmet made of refined ceramic steel alloy. Fuget engraved runes on it, and he had to use more and more force when enchanting it.

Otherwise, the runes could not be engraved at all, so for this purpose, Fugate even made a pure gold engraving knife.

While Alechino was recovering from his injuries, Fugate and Shamian were extremely lucky and produced two consecutive furnaces of ceramic steel alloys that exceeded the standard (about 105% of the standard). Combined with the previous ones, Shamian's power armor is now more than halfway complete.

The inner armor, chest armor and leg armor parts have been completed, and the production of the helmet and power backpack parts is in progress.

What has not yet been done is the important forging of shoulder armor and weapons.

The shoulder armor is the strongest part of the power armor and requires the most special treatment. The same is true for weapons, so these two simple but energy-consuming ones are placed last.

The inner armor is the most complicated to make, followed by the various systems in the helmet and breastplate, all of which require careful design and layout. Fortunately, the objects that Forgate referenced were very mature, and the general layout remained unchanged, only the rune enchantment was added.

Of course, those Space Marine chapters also have their own enchantments, and the symbols representing the Primarchs and the big guys on the paintings can also intimidate ordinary Warp creatures.

However, in that cesspool universe, most of the subspace creatures are the minions of the four vendors, and there are also many psychopaths among the subspace creatures that are not the minions of the four vendors, so the deterrent ability of this symbol is not very strong.

A few months later, the Buffati Mansion received a visitor.

Doctor Dottore, he also came for [High Standard Ceramic Steel].

He came here through formal procedures, and after arriving, Alechino ran away on the pretext of going on a mission.

Fortunately, the doctor was not looking for her, but Fugate.

Finally, a few servants had no choice but to lead the doctor to the smelter in Fugate in the Gray River.

You asked why the smelter is not built outside. That is naturally because the land on the island is very expensive and labor is also expensive.

It’s nothing like Huihe. As long as you are a little aggressive, the land is free and the wages are relatively low.

Only the salaries of some senior talents are similar to those of talents outside.

"I need a batch of [high-standard ceramic steel alloy], you name your price," the doctor said to Fgate straight to the point.

The so-called [high-standard ceramic steel alloy] refers to ceramic steel that does not meet the Fugate standards and is smelted using condensed crystal ore cores.

It is the highest grade ceramic steel sold by the smelter.

Next are [Ordinary Standard Ceramic Steel Alloy] and [Inferior Ceramic Steel Alloy]

Fugate, who was forging the shell of the power backpack, glanced at the doctor, then turned off the power hammer, drank a sip of iced drink, and then said, "There is no additional output of [High Standard Ceramic Steel Alloy] recently."

The Doctor frowned, "This is for the Queen's plan."

Whether he was making high-end weapons or arming ordinary Fatui soldiers, he would need a large amount of ceramic steel.

"The Queen's plan has nothing to do with me, Mr. Zandik, you know, I'm just an employee, and I have my own plans." Fugate said slowly.

The doctor frowned. "What do you want in exchange for some [High Standard Ceramic Steel Alloy]?"

If the doctor was not really not good at material smelting and development, he would not want to come to Fgate.

Not only did this guy not get along with him, but also because seeing this guy once meant that one of his slices would be scrapped. This guy's guiding ability became stronger again, and his slice has now lost most of its emotions. Fortunately, the doctor also had foresight and had already isolated this slice from his thinking network.

Fugate also started thinking at this time.

"I want your research on artificial demons," said Fugate.

"We all know that the original gods can no longer become stronger after reaching their limits, and the same is true for their so-called followers."

"Only dragons, or beings that are originally more noble, can break through this limit."

"Since you have already crossed this limit, it means that you have the ability to do it, even if it is just a shortcut."

The doctor fell into deep thought: "I need more ceramic steel, not only [High Standard Ceramic Steel Alloy], but also unlimited [Ordinary Standard Ceramic Steel Alloy]. As for [Inferior Ceramic Steel Alloy], there is no need to take it out."

The doctor also collected many formulas that were no less effective than [Inferior Ceramic Steel Alloy]. [Inferior Ceramic Steel Alloy] was better than nothing for his and the Queen's plan.

"I can add an extra steelmaking furnace to smelt [ordinary standard ceramic steel alloy] for you (which is smelted from ordinary condensed crystal), but not [high-standard ceramic steel alloy]. I will not make concessions for your plan, so the output is still unstable." said Fugate.

A steelmaking furnace produces 2 tons of [ordinary standard ceramic steel alloy] every day, half a ton per furnace, and four furnaces per day.

If it were inferior quality, the yield would be higher, but unfortunately the doctor doesn't need it.

“But I can also promise that I will reserve half of the future output (those that do not meet the sales standards) for you,” said Fugate.

It is impossible for his smelter to give away all of those [high-standard ceramic steel alloys]; he still has to reserve some to maintain his normal business operations.

The doctor's slice nodded expressionlessly and said, "Deal done."

After saying that, he left directly. He needed to go to other slices to inform them of the transaction details according to his idea before coming here, and then conduct relevant mathematical research with other absolutely rational slices.

Although absolute rationality has mostly negative effects on the doctor, he still developed the true purpose of these slices of absolute rationality, which is to conduct calculations for mathematical research.

Don’t mention it...it’s really useful.

In addition, these absolutely rational slices of the doctor are also good at calculations. Now two or three doctor slices have been employed by the [rich] and will occasionally take time out to help the [rich] with things like accounting.

That's really fast and good, and there's no complaints, so the rich are very satisfied with it.

Of course, these guys are also good at fighting, so the figure of [Doctor] also began to become active in the abyss.

······
The Fatui quickly sent a research document on the power of the demon and the primordial fragments.

It contains methods on how to ascend to the throne of God with the help of the Heart of God, that is, how to break through the LV90 barrier.

According to the doctor's research, in order to break through to the level of Demon God, the Heart of God is actually just a medium, not a necessity, and it will not cause any damage to the Heart of God.

As promised, Fuget began to produce ceramic steel products for the Fatui. The doctor was lucky. In the second month after the data was delivered, Fuget completed the smelting of the shoulder armor and was preparing to forge weapons.

As a result, that batch of molten steel did not meet the standards set by Fuget.

So he had no choice but to sell it. Of course, Fugate did not forget to give the half to the doctor.

Even though the Inazuma shogunate raised the price of the royal tribute from distant countries to an eye-popping level, Fuget had no intention of changing his mind.

Because the doctor's research results are really good, pointing out what path Fugate, Xiamian, and even Arlechino should take next.

"How to become a god?"

Based on the research of the Doctor and Fugate, and the exploration of themselves by Charmian and Arecchino.

Fugate ultimately came to the following conclusions.

“Incorporate the rules into the body, let the elements become instincts, sublimate the spirit to the highest level, and finally integrate the spirit into the rules and authority (elements), and mold it into its own origin and form its own symbol.”

Then the origin will link to the rules of the world, life will transform, and the demon god will be created.

But this also has a flaw, which is that such gods are bound to the planets.

However, Fuget also has his own solution, which is to complete it in his own divine domain when the Origin contacts the outside world.

Then connect to the subspace through your own divine domain, and connect to the world of Teyvat through the subspace.

This may make it a little weak at the beginning, and the elements and rules it can pry into are far less than those demons directly linked to Teyvat, but the upper limit is higher. At least it will not be restricted by this world (the world of Teyvat).

And most importantly, the strength can continue to improve, and all the subspace realms can be separated from the current subspace and can develop as independent subspaces.

Fget did not hide this matter. Any being that has the ability to construct its own divine domain can read such information from the subspace.

After all, the current Supreme Heaven (subspace) strictly speaking still belongs to Fuget's private domain.

This empyrean (warp) is built upon the essence of Fuget.

However, due to the special nature of Fuget (nothingness, joy, oblivion), this subspace is surprisingly large, and Fuget cannot demonstrate his authority well, so it seems that it has no master.

Fugate told Xiamian his final result.

"Then it seems that you have achieved some results." Xia Mian said, "Tell me about it. You know that I am not very good at this research."

"I have come up with two ways to break through," said Fugate. "There is no difference between the two methods."

"Let's talk about the first method first. The first method is to cut off the connection between yourself and the Eye of God, and then gather your understanding of the elements together to form rules."

"The second method is to use the power of the ritual to cut off or obscure the connection between the external eye, the Eye of God, and Sky Island, like the immortals of Liyue did, and then take it into the body to form the inner eye."

"Use your own spirit to cleanse the fragments of authority and rules in the eyes of God, and make them your own completely."

Either of these two methods will allow you to exert elemental power without the aid of the Eye of God.

“Then put the spirit into rules and authority.”

“Forming the origin and symbol.”

"Finally, go to your own divine realm and connect to the world."

At the same time, Fuget also told Xiamian why he chose to go to his own divine realm before connecting to the world.

"I see. You have been preparing for this all along."

"Exploring another world or something." Xia Mian asked.

"Well, as you know, Teyvat is not safe. Of course, the universe is also not safe."

"So we need more escape routes," said Fugate. "That's why the life support system and energy circulation system in the power armor exist."

"After the sleeping ritual, it can allow a person to survive in the vacuum of the universe for hundreds of years."

"And the adamantium-ceramic-steel alloy can allow people to ignore most cosmic rays and dangers."

"Absolutely guaranteed." Fugate said with a smile.

"Is the future really as dangerous as you see it?" Xia Mian stroked his ear and asked, "What did you see?"

"I didn't see anything." Fugate said, "It is precisely because I didn't see anything that I was so nervous, because this means that the severity of this matter is far beyond my expectations."

"So the more back-up plans like this, the better."

"Besides, what do you think the Fatui do?"

"What do you mean?" Xia Mian obviously thought of something.

"There are two parties. It's hard for us to be fence-sitters. We can't reach the other side, so we can only choose the Fatui~, but our essence is still fence-sitting."

"But there is a drawback, which is that I was discovered by the doctor too early." Fugate's face turned grim when he thought of this.

This guy, Doctor, is really abominable. Next time we meet, I will definitely continue to destroy his slices.
