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

“Of course there will be. But given your pursuit of melee performance, I'm afraid you won’t accept it.” Jessica walked to another workbench and said, “However, I have another modification plan.”

Jingyuan looked at another workbench, on which was placed a long-handled sword. However, judging from its shape and size, it was not a gravity-body weapon, but a conventional single-person weapon.

Gravity-based weapons are one size larger than weapons used by a single person.

Jing Yuan said, "This battle sword isn't suitable for use by people with high gravity!"

Jessica said, "The plasma generator on this combat knife is damaged and unusable, but the energy source is intact. Coincidentally, the internal energy source of this knife is in the hilt, while the internal energy source of the Gravity Body Combat Knife is in the blade. I can connect their blades and hilts together, and that will provide enough energy."

"Isn't this perfect?"

“There’s another problem,” Jessica said with a smile. “The two weapons are designed differently. The handle of the long-handled knife is designed to fit the size of a normal person’s hand, but for a person in gravity, the grip isn’t comfortable enough!”

"What about the strength?"

"The difference in strength is not significant, and this small battle knife is even slightly stronger."

Jingyuan picked up the long-handled knife on the table and brandished it, then suddenly realized that he also lacked a suitable weapon.

This plasma light blade has been modified so that it can be used even without a gravity body.

Thinking of this, Jingyuan said directly, "Then let's change it like this! I can overcome the grip issue myself."

"it is good!"

After discussing the sword modification with Jessica, Jingyuan made an excuse to leave.

He arrived at the workshop with 3D printers. Jingnan had set up access control here, and apart from Jingyuan and 4277, no one else could enter for the time being.

Jingyuan opened the door and found that only machines were running automatically inside.

"4277 is not here?"

Everyone just went to attend the departure ceremony, so 4277 probably hasn't come back yet.

Jingyuan looked at the scale throwing knives that had already been printed and used his telekinesis to control and play with them.

According to the description in "telekinesis", these scale-shaped throwing knives automatically adhere together when in the scale disc state.

The printed blades cannot be automatically attracted, so magnetic coatings are used to compensate for this.

4277 moved their studio here, and the magnetic coating is also applied here.

Half of the throwing knives in this batch have already been coated.

Jingyuan only needs to use his mental power to control the throwing knives to combine together.

He was practicing controlling the scale-plate throwing knife in the workshop when suddenly the workshop door opened and 4277 walked in.

Jingyuan slowly controlled the throwing knife to land, then looked back at 4277. She looked somewhat dejected, probably because something had happened.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing," 4277 forced a smile.

"Is something wrong? Do you need my help?"

4277 looked at Jing Yuan, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment and then said nothing.

"It's okay, you can tell me directly," Jing Yuan said with a smile.

4277 has helped him so much, so 4277 will definitely help him in the future.

“Um…” 4277 hesitated for a moment, but still said, “4079 said that 4068 has been missing for a day, and we are worried that something has happened to him.”

"4068 is missing?"

Jingyuan was also a little puzzled. The lighthouse was only so big; it couldn't have been lost.

Therefore, 4068 could only have been taken away by someone else.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'll ask someone to help me find out."

Chapter 88 Charles and 4068

Inside the law firm, 4068 was stripped naked and tied to a mobile platform, where he was being cleansed by the "light of purification."

The intense sunlight outside shone through the huge convex lens and focused onto 4068's body, concentrating into a single point.

Instantly, a strong burning sensation came over me.

4068 shouted, "Wasn't a dozen lashes enough? Ah..."

"stop!"

Charles walked in from outside and went to 4068's side, saying, "You have committed so many crimes by trespassing into the gravity body and interfering with the enforcement of the Lightbearer. This is just a slight punishment."

Upon seeing Charles, 4068 quickly said, "I didn't enter the gravity body without permission, I..." Remembering that Jing Yuan had defended him, 4068 continued, "It was Vice Captain Jing Yuan who allowed me to enter the gravity body!"

Charles sneered, "Is that so? Then when he reported to the city lord, how did he say that you entered the gravity field without permission?"

4068 opened his eyes in terror.

It was indeed his own decision to enter the gravitational body at that time.

Jingyuan only said those words later to exonerate him.

"No! No! I..." 4068 didn't know what to say. If Jing Yuan took the blame for him, then it was his problem. But if 4068 framed Shangmin, then the crime would be even more serious.

Charles stared at 4068 and said with a smile, "There were so many people there at the time. Jingyuan was just trying to play the good guy, especially in front of 4277. After it's all over, who cares about you?"

Mentioning 4277 makes 4068 even more unhappy.

"But I protected the supplies, and I also saved a hunter."

Charles chuckled, "Really? Why didn't Mark and Jingyuan mention it at all in their reports?"

"Maybe they think I'm not qualified to protect the supplies!"

Charles turned around. “The Lord of Light and Shadow will never allow any good person to suffer injustice. You protected the supplies and deserve a reward.” Charles looked at the priest beside him and said, “Put him down!”

Charles brought 4068 to the restaurant and treated him to local food.

As 4068 ate the local food, he quickly forgot the pain he had just felt.

"Yum! So delicious!"

"My Lord, thank you for your reward."

Looking at the steak in front of him, 4068 realized it wasn't his first time eating steak. 4277 had once brought him a small piece of steak.

That was given to 4277 by Jingyuan, and 4277 then gave it to him and 4079.

However, although the steak that 4277 brought him had tasted before, it was nowhere near as delicious as the hot steak in front of him.

At this moment, 4068 remembered 4277 and wanted to bring 4277 some food from the people.

Seeing 4068 lost in thought, Charles asked, "What are you thinking about?"

4069 quickly said, "These things are so delicious! We commoners can only eat insect cakes!"

"Can you still eat insect cakes now?"

"So what if I can't eat? I'm just a commoner."

Charles smiled slightly. "Then do you want to become a citizen of the upper class?"

4068 stared wide-eyed at Charles, even putting down the delicious steak.

"There has never been a precedent in the Lighthouse for a commoner to become a superior being."

"Nothing is impossible before the Lord of Light and Shadow!" Charles continued, looking at the shocked 4068, "Think about it, why does your friend 4277 like Jing Yuan? Isn't it because he's an upper-class citizen?"

Upon hearing this, 4068 revealed a look of gritted teeth.

Since Jing Yuan appeared, 4277 has often disappeared and her attitude towards him has changed.

"If you become an upper-class citizen, I can provide you with the food of the upper-class citizens and also make you a hunter of the wilderness. Then you can openly wear a gravity suit to kill Devouring Beasts. Would you still be afraid of not winning the affection of a commoner girl?"

4068 is tempted.

Among the mortals, 4068 is definitely one of the most outstanding; he learns things very quickly.

In the field of electronics, he could understand it at a glance and learn it in no time, and the knowledgeable old folks often praised him.

4068 himself believed that if he weren't a commoner, he would be no worse than anyone on the lighthouse!

And all of this is because I am a commoner.

And now, a tremendous opportunity has presented itself to him.

However, 4068 also knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

He took the initiative to ask, "Sir, how can one become a citizen of the upper class?"

Charles smiled and said, "It's simple, just help me kill Mark!"

4068 was so frightened that he jumped up.

"My Lord... how could a commoner like me possibly deal with someone like Captain Mark?"

Charles scoffed, “Mark only ever sees the Devouring Beasts. To him, the Dust People are no threat at all.”

4068 was filled with terror. He wanted to become an upper-class citizen and was willing to give everything for it, but he couldn't bring himself to kill anyone, especially Captain Mark.

Charles continued, "Get rid of him! And I'll give you the status of an upper-class citizen!"
