Give Star Iron a little MC shock

Jing Yuan shuddered as he looked at a group of elderly craftsmen pouting at him with a coquettish expression.

"Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. I'll put in a good word with Xing He for you, but whether it works out or not depends on them."

"Alright! Thank you, General!"

Jing Yuan sighed helplessly, walked to Xing He's side, and was about to speak when he saw Xing He raise his crossbow and aim at Huan Long sitting on the wooden boat.

With a whoosh, the arrow shot out and struck Huanlong squarely in the forehead.

The arrow that suddenly flew in left Huanlong completely bewildered. She glanced at the arrow stuck in her forehead.

"what?"

She has no physical form, so why was she hit by the arrow, and why is the arrow still stuck in her forehead?

[Unlock Achievement: Close the Suspension]

[Achievement Points Earned: 1]

Xing He then switched to the longbow of March 7th, drew back the bowstring, and shot another arrow at Huanlong.

Whoosh, another arrow appeared on Huanlong's forehead.

[Unlock Achievement: Aim at the Target]

[Achievement Points Earned: 1]

Huanlong was furious and glared at Xing He, shouting angrily.

"If you've got the guts, then kill me! What are you trying to achieve by humiliating me like this!"

Chapter 104 The Philosopher's Stone!

Xing He ignored Huanlong's shouts; he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Because he already has enough achievement points to buy the Equivalent Exchange Remastered Edition.

Xing He quickly opened the MOD store and purchased it with lightning speed.

In just a moment, all the achievement points he had painstakingly accumulated were wiped out.

[Equivalent Exchange Reset Version Installed]

The moment the system notification popped up, Xing He's recipe had some new items added.

"It's done!"

Xing He excitedly ran back to his workbench and pushed away the craftsmen who were watching him.

Before he could tell Xing He that the Industrial Construction Company wanted to have an academic exchange with the Starry Sky Train, Jing Yuan had no choice but to go along.

In front of the craftsmen and Jing Yuan, Xing He created the Philosopher's Stone, the most basic item in the Equivalent Exchange Remastered version.

Fortunately, the materials needed for the Philosopher's Stone are all very simple, and he had prepared some of them.

"Finally, it's done!"

Looking at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, Xing He looked down at the stone platform beneath his feet with anticipation.

If he remembers correctly, the Philosopher's Stone has the ability to alter the nature of objects.

Jing Yuan and the other craftsmen looked curiously at the round sphere that had suddenly escaped from the workbench in Xing He's hand.

One of the craftsmen couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is this sphere some kind of new magical artifact?"

"Ah."

Having just unlocked the equivalent exchange, Xing He was in high spirits and began to introduce the Philosopher's Stone in his hand to the surrounding craftsmen.

"It is called the Philosopher's Stone, and it has the ability to change the nature of all things."

"The Philosopher's Stone?!"

The name was not unfamiliar to the craftsmen of the Bureau of Works, as there had been rumors of the Philosopher's Stone in the vast universe. However, they had never taken it seriously before, since no one had ever seen the Philosopher's Stone with their own eyes.

Even the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which controls the economy of the entire universe and sells all kinds of goods, has never produced an item similar to the Philosopher's Stone.

"You all watch."

Xing He held the Philosopher's Stone, preparing to demonstrate it to the craftsmen, and also to satisfy his own curiosity.

The moment Xing He grasped the Philosopher's Stone, he could see the area it could influence by looking down. This area could expand or shrink according to Xing He's will, but it also had its limits.

With a mere thought, Xing He heard a soft 'ding' sound, and the stone platform beneath his feet instantly transformed into a large patch of grass blocks.

The lush green grass swayed gently in the breeze.

"Fuck!"

Upon witnessing this scene, all the bigwigs of the Construction Bureau couldn't help but utter a curse word about the Immortal Ship.

A group of people immediately collapsed to the ground like starving oxen, reaching out in disbelief to carefully touch the grass blocks beneath them.

Some even went so far as to stick out their tongues tremblingly and lick it.

"I've tasted it! This is grass!"

Seeing the stone platform beneath his feet successfully transformed into grass blocks, Xing He was immediately seized by a playful impulse and began frantically transforming it with the Philosopher's Stone.

Jing Yuan and the craftsmen stared in astonishment as the blocks beneath their feet kept shifting between stones, grass blocks, sand, and other materials.

Xing He played for several minutes before reluctantly stopping. Then he remembered another ability of the Philosopher's Stone.

Because of this ability, the Philosopher's Stone is also jokingly called the 'Stone That Doesn't Defy Martial Morality'.

The Philosopher's Stone can also launch Mutation Orbs by consuming EMC value. Creatures hit by the Mutation Orbs will be transformed, such as cows turning into pigs.

(EMC value is a unit of equivalent exchange. Each item has its own EMC value. You don't need to worry about the specific meaning of EMC value. You can simply understand it as currency or value. For example, a round stone is worth 1 dollar [EMC]. This makes it easier for everyone to understand.)

Unfortunately, Xing He hasn't charged the Philosopher's Stone yet, so this ability is unusable.

Just as Xing He was feeling regretful because he hadn't been able to recharge, an old craftsman with white hair grabbed Xing He's hands, giving him a fright.

The old man's eyes were bloodshot and square: "Sir! I've never begged anyone in my life, but this time I'm begging you, please give our Engineering Department a chance to have an academic exchange with the esteemed Starry Sky Train! I beg you! And to be honest, I have a granddaughter at home who is about the same age as you, sir. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Academic exchange?

Xing He blinked: "I'll talk to our train conductor and navigator, but let's forget about my granddaughter."

Xing He thought of March 7th, who was sulking, and he was a little worried that the old man's granddaughter wouldn't be able to beat March 7th.

Jing Yuan, standing to the side, also stroked his chin thoughtfully, reminded of what the old craftsman had just said.

Luo Fu must be on good terms with Xing He; it will only bring him benefits. However, he has no granddaughter, not even a sister.

The only person he had was his apprentice, Yanqing.

Hey, Yanqing, why aren't you a woman? If Yanqing were a woman, then maybe Luofu could even arrange a marriage between her and the Starry Sky Train.

After all, Yanqing had previously admired Xing He quite a bit.

"Alright, everyone, stop stopping young friend Xing He. Even if you want to have academic exchanges with the Starry Sky Train, you should at least let him go back first, right?"

Jing Yuan turned his head and saw that Xing He was in a hurry to leave but was stopped by the craftsmen and had to stay. He quickly stepped forward to help him out of the predicament.

The craftsmen had no choice but to disperse. Xing He glanced gratefully at Jing Yuan, then took out his axe and prepared to take the workbench away. But as soon as he took a step forward, the group of craftsmen gathered around him with reluctance.

But they didn't say anything, they just stared at Xing He with reluctance.

Xing He was speechless under their stares, so he put away the axe and said, "It's yours."

Anyway, even if they had a crafting table, they couldn't synthesize anything. Xing He even doubted whether they could synthesize items from the original Minecraft even if they had the materials prepared, without the recipes.

"Then, General, I'll be taking my leave now."

Xing He was eager to go back and recharge the Philosopher's Stone so he could experience its other function.

Jing Yuan nodded: "Yes, young friend Xing He, take care. Don't forget the celebration banquet tonight. If our great hero doesn't attend, then there's no need to hold this celebration banquet."

"must."

P.S.: Everyone, please take good care of your health. Don't end up like me. I was just about to close my eyes and rest for a bit, but I woke up at 2 a.m.

PS2: This chapter is one of the three chapters updated on the 14th; there will be another chapter later.

Chapter 105 The Road to Nouveau Riche Gradually Getting On Track

As soon as he left the Scaled Abyss Realm, the Fool's Mask from Xing He's backpack jumped out and floated beside him.

"Oh my friend, this is really interesting! Do you know what I did in your dark storage space? I actually talked to a wooden board for a whole hour! This was so exciting!"

The Fool's Mask seemed to have endless things to say, flying around Xing He and circling him continuously.

"Seriously, my friend, you've really surprised me! That Philosopher's Stone you just got is amazing! Let's do something big! Like turning all those graves in Suiyuan from stones into grass. When their relatives and friends come back and see how tall the grass on their graves has grown, they'll be overjoyed!"

Xing He grabbed the Fool's Mask that flew past him: "Shut up. Although I also like to have fun, this won't do me any good. If you keep babbling on and on, I'll shove you into the switching table."

But Xing He's threat only emboldened it.

"Zun Du is fake? Hurry up, my friend!"

Xing He rolled his eyes speechlessly. This Fool's Mask was too annoying. If it weren't for the fact that it was a prop with special effects, he would have thrown it away long ago.

Why can't the mask bestowed by Ahab lie quietly in his backpack like the invitation given by the Venerable Master?

Wearing the Fool's Mask, Xing He returned to the inn, where March 7th had recovered from his previous sullen state.

Seeing Xing He return, she smiled and waved to him as always.

"Xing He, welcome back."

Before Xing He could speak, the Fool's Mask flying beside him leaned over, looked March 7 up and down a few times, and nodded seriously.

"Oh, poor girl, forcing yourself to forget that pleasurable dream so the boy won't hate you, why not just say it directly? Maybe the boy likes that kind of thing too?"

March 7th's face flushed red instantly. In a flurry, he grabbed the Fool's Mask, ran into the bathroom, shoved it into the toilet, and flushed it.

As the sound of flushing water rang out, March 7th walked out with mechanical steps, scratching his cheek at Xing He with an embarrassed smile.

"Haha, I wonder who was talking just now..."

The Fool's Mask, still dripping wet, flew out.
