Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingyuan nodded and said, "Understood, you can continue with your work."

Jingyuan arrived at the workshop, where there was a constant clanging sound.

Jingyuan saw a familiar figure; she was petite but very agile.

4277 has changed quite a bit. She cut off her long braids and tied them into a short ponytail. She is now concentrating intently on forging weapons.

Jingyuan didn't disturb her, but watched from the side for a while.

When 4277 stopped to rest, she noticed Jingyuan standing to the side.

The moment 4277 saw Jing Yuan, he was completely stunned.

"Jingyuan, you're not dead?"

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, "Not yet!"

4277 looked at Jing Yuan, a few tears welling up in her eyes, "I thought you weren't coming back!"

The death of 4079 and the betrayal of 4068 left deep wounds in 4277's heart. Her only remaining friend, Jingyuan, also died, which once made her feel disheartened.

"I'm sorry to have worried you!" Jing Yuan looked at the many cold weapons in the workshop and asked in confusion, "Why are you forging so many cold weapons?"

Chapter 249 Weapon Master 4277

Jingyuan briefly recounted his experiences over the past six months and then learned about 4277's story.

4277 originally possessed forging skills.

While the villagers of Longgu Village were taking refuge at the lighthouse, Belenkov forged a crescent blade for Jingyuan. Since he was unfamiliar with the working environment at the lighthouse, he arranged for a helper for him, namely 4277.

While assisting Belenkov, 4277 also learned the skill of forging weapons using Devourer Beast materials.

Furthermore, 4277 later analyzed the molecular structure of the skeleton of the King-level Devouring Beast and fused the bone material and metal material into a new type of alloy.

This alloy is currently the strongest alloy used in lighthouses.

Although its strength and hardness are only similar to those of the Devouring Beast Bone, its advantage lies in its high plasticity.

After hearing 4277's story, Jing Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "4277, you're simply a genius!"

"I dare not claim to be a genius!"

"Don't be modest." Jing Yuan picked up a weapon next to him and examined it for a moment, then said, "Even the people of Dragonbone Village haven't invented such an alloy, yet you've managed to create it. If you're not a genius, then who is?"

"They have the skill to forge weapons from the bones of Devouring Beasts, so they don't need highly malleable alloys, but I do!"

"You need it?" Jingyuan looked at 4277 with a puzzled expression.

4277 gestured for Jingyuan to follow her.

Next to the workshop is a warehouse. Enter the access control code 4277 and the roller shutter door will rise automatically.

Inside the warehouse, besides a pile of bone materials, two items stood out.

One was a set of silver metal armor, and the other was a huge metal disc.

As soon as Jingyuan saw the metal disc, he knew it was prepared for him.

No one but myself would use this disc.

Jingyuan looked at 4277 with an incredulous expression, "How could you..."

4277 smiled and said, "Your scales and armor were damaged in the battle with Charles, so I've always wanted to make you a new one."

4277 was silent for a moment, then said, "Later, I heard you sacrificed yourself, but I felt you weren't dead. I knew you would come back, so I finished it!"

"Thank you!" Jing Yuan didn't know what to say, so he could only say thank you.

"Don't mention it! If it weren't for you, I would just be an ordinary mortal now, and I wouldn't be able to do these things."

As Jingyuan approached, he exclaimed, "But this scale plate you made is way too big!"

4277 smiled sheepishly, "Um... I considered that the Devouring Beasts you'll be dealing with in the future might be quite large, so I took the liberty of enlarging the scale disc proportionally. It shouldn't... have any impact, right?"

"No!" Jing Yuan shook his head.

Then he looked at the silver metal armor next to him, "Is this also prepared for me?"

“Yes.” 4277 nodded. “It’s also made with a new alloy.”

"Then this set of armor should have higher defensive capabilities than mine!"

Jingyuan is still wearing the black and gold armor he got from the robot.

Unfortunately, before he could even get used to wearing the armor, he encountered the Glutton.

The armor was damaged considerably after withstanding the Taotie's attacks.

Penny later helped him repair it, but Penny wasn't a professional, so it was just a patch and the defense wasn't as high as before.

4277 said, "I noticed you were wearing black armor before, this set hasn't been painted yet. Wait a minute, I'll paint it and send it to you!"

Jingyuan shook his head, "No need! The color doesn't matter."

Silver is the natural color of the new alloy.

4277 said, "I plan to call this new alloy the Abyss Alloy!"

"Yuan Alloy?" Jing Yuan pointed to himself and asked, "Named after me?"

"Okay!" 4277 nodded.

"No, no, no!" Jing Yuan quickly said, "I didn't invent this, you did! It should be called Alloy 4277!"

After speaking, Jing Yuan hesitated for a moment.

4277 alloy, it really does sound like a number.

Jingyuan asked, "Now that the Lighthouse no longer distinguishes between Upper Class and Commoner, have you given yourself a normal name?"

"No! I think the name 4277 is great!"

"But this is not a proper name after all."

4277 said with a smile, "I just want to keep this name so that people can remember this part of the lighthouse's history."

Jingyuan nodded, indicating his understanding.

"I just saw you forging cold weapons in the workshop. Were those also for me?"

4277 laughed and said, "Those aren't for you."

"Who is that for?"

"Of course, it's for the awakened ones on the lighthouse!"

Jing Yuan nodded. For powerful Awakeners, tough cold weapons inflict far more damage on Devouring Beasts than ordinary firearms.

4277's considerations are quite comprehensive.

Jingyuan looked at 4277 somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you for doing so much! But... could I trouble you for one more time?"

"Hmm?" 4277 looked at Jing Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"Forge me another weapon."

4277's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Jingyuan to have other weapons.

However, she readily agreed.

Jingyuan drew the design of the battle sword "Nine Rivers" for 4277.

Jingyuan originally wanted Belenkov to create the Nine Rivers, but unfortunately, using bone as the material made it impossible to shape precisely, so he settled for nine crescent blades instead.

The new alloy invented by 4277 has strong shaping capabilities, so building the Jiuchuan River will naturally be no problem.

"What an ingenious structure!"

Upon receiving the blueprints, 4277 immediately recognized their ingenuity.

Jingyuan can control objects with his mind, and 4277 knows that the nine flying knives require mental control.

The nine throwing knives combined with the main blade represent the combination of psychic power and physical strength.

"Can you see the subtlety in it?"

4277 nodded. "I've carefully studied the structure of the scale plate. Its structure is designed to enhance your attack power when you control it with your psychic abilities. The Nine Rivers Battle Blade is the same!"

Jingyuan looked at 4277 and was truly impressed by her.

After handing the blueprints to 4277, Jingyuan put on new silver armor and left with the scale plate.

The newly created scale plate is enormous, with a diameter of nearly four meters.

Although Jingyuan is not difficult to control, it will affect visibility when flying in the air.

Fortunately, the scale disc can be folded into the shape of a sword.

In the use of the scale disc, it can be controlled to form a cone shape, or it can form a sword shape or a knife shape.

The shape of swords and knives is also one of the attack methods of telekinesis.

However, Jingyuan has always fought using a combination of close combat and ranged attacks. His swords and sabers are not as powerful as battle swords and have less penetrating power than flying cones, so he has not used them much.

At this moment, the Dawn spacecraft had arrived above the factory and lowered its altitude.
