Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

[Basic Function: Input basic raw materials to automatically complete a rough processing step randomly, or generate more refined tools/items/materials/food, etc. For example: repair simple mechanical structures, or spin wool into yarn. One free refresh opportunity per day.]

Advanced Function: Consuming "Precious Gold Power" allows for targeted complex synthesis and quality upgrades of specified items/raw materials.

Note: This feature is currently unavailable for living organisms.

It's basically a simplified version of item upgrades.

Su Wanqing was clearly very interested in the new features that appeared after the space was upgraded. Although the Craftsmanship Grid might not be as good as the Golden Spirit, it was still very practical.

The free daily preliminary processing is quite delicious. I wonder if adding flour would turn it into steamed buns? If so, it would save a lot of trouble when cooking in the future.

Advanced functions, which require expensive resources for targeted upgrades, are even more valuable! Imagine putting those expensive pieces of equipment that are out of service due to a lack of key components or technical problems into it... wouldn't it be possible to repair them? The strategic and economic value would be immeasurable!

Su Wanqing continued reading.

[Upgrade Reward: One enhanced Perfect Craftsmanship skill. (Saved)]

Upon seeing this upgrade reward, Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. This was great! A fully enhanced upgrade? Wasn't that like going from a slingshot to a cannon?

Wait, is she exploiting a bug again? For example, first returning 10 tanks tenfold, then perfectly upgrading those 10 tanks to directly transform them into 10 aircraft carriers (for example), and then returning them a hundredfold?

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing felt a surge of excitement. Her random critical hits and perfect upgrades could now be used together! She definitely needed to get a super big one!

It seems like there's no chance yet... and it's not worth much.

Never mind, Su Wanqing first tried out the functions of the Craftsman's Grid, figured it out first, so that she could properly master it when she encountered good things in the future.

The consciousness rapidly surveyed the space, marking various items that could potentially be used for testing with its mental intent. Living things were ruled out first; the "currently not supported" message was quite insightful, implying that future upgrades might support them.

She first tried putting the dozens of braised pork portions stored in one compartment into the compartment.

[Ingredient detected: Braised Pork Belly (small amount). Can be synthesized/upgraded. Use today's free attempt? Or consume 100 grams of 'Precious Power' for advanced synthesis/upgrade?]

Su Wanqing's lips twitched.

Use precious "precious gold power" to upgrade braised pork?

Although she was also very curious, she hesitated for a moment and decided to put the more valuable items in the space first.

She put all seven cameras into the "Craftsmanship Grid".

[Use today's crafting attempts or use 200g of Precious Power to advance the crafting process?]

"Using 200g of precious metal power to advance the synthesis!"

A flash of light appeared within the grid, and the seven cameras vanished instantly. A few seconds later, the light subsided, and seven brand-new cameras with a distinctly futuristic design reappeared in the grid.

Su Wanqing opened her mouth, only wanting to say "Awesome!" Seven second-hand Fio cameras were instantly transformed into the brand-newest and most awesome Hongqi 20 camera of this era!

Keep in mind that the Feiou only costs around 400 yuan, but the Hongqi costs 6000 yuan, and you can't buy it even if you have the money.

Upgrading with 200 grams of precious gold is totally worth it. This means that she can upgrade some of her existing, outdated equipment to more advanced versions in the future.

However, we need to consider whether the power of precious metals can handle it, as this advancement and upgrade consumes too much precious metal power.

There is one more chance for a normal upgrade synthesis.

To verify a hypothesis, Su Wanqing simply put all the space that had been returned tenfold, now turned into 1000 catties of pork, into it to see what could be synthesized or generated.

Since it says "random" on it, there are a lot of uncertainties involved. In any case, no matter how things change, the raw materials will remain the same.

With a whoosh, a flash of light, and the pork disappeared. Then, Su Wanqing "heard" a series of clanging and sizzling sounds.

The next second, this thousand-pound pork turned into a small mountain of golden, shiny, and enticingly fragrant fried pork meatballs!

Su Wanqing: "..."

Su Wanqing opened her mouth in shock.

The good news is: "Craftsmanship" can indeed process food, and it does so instantly! This saves her a lot of time and effort in handling ingredients. She'll never have to worry about processing large quantities of meat again.

The bad news is: all her 1,000 pounds of pork—ribs, hocks, pork belly—has been turned into meatballs! It smells delicious though… but all she wants to do now is facepalm. Why didn't she set aside some ribs for soup or pork belly for braised pork?

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth, but the experiment still had to be carried out, so she simply put the entire thousand catties of meatballs back into the Golden Spirit Grid.

"Tenfold return!"

You should know that these 1000 jin of pork meatballs were made by returning 100 jin of pork at a tenfold return rate. Logically, they shouldn't be returned any more. She just wanted to see if they could be processed and returned at a tenfold return rate again.

result--

In a flash of light, the number of dumplings in the grid instantly increased tenfold!

Good news! The tenfold return was successful, and she now has 10,000 jin of pork meatballs with pork cracklings.

The bad news is, she has a whopping 10,000 jin of pork meatballs, enough to last her a lifetime.

Su Wanqing's feelings were a mix of joy and complexity. Fortunately, the little pigs she was raising in her space were almost grown up. Once they were grown, she would simply kill them, multiply their value tenfold, and then put them directly into the Craftsman's Grid. It would then naturally process and upgrade them into meat.

The only problem is that this randomness makes it too uncertain what can be synthesized.

Hopefully, they can change it next time and stop generating pork meatballs.

Each time you put an item in, it's like opening a blind box; you never know what you'll get next.

After testing the functions of the Craftsman's Craftsmanship, Su Wanqing fed the chickens, sheep, and pigs one more time before going to sleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of never having to fry meatballs again, never having to fry meatballs again in her life... It seemed like fried meatballs would appear on the dinner table every day from now on...

the next day.

When Su Wanqing woke up, the bed beside her was empty. Zhou Yanshen had gotten up early. On the simple wooden table in the guesthouse, there was a military-style aluminum lunchbox containing warm cornmeal porridge and a steamed bun.

Su Wanqing poured the porridge into her space to feed the chickens, then ate some steamed buns and showed off more than a dozen fried pork meatballs made in her space. She also ate two apples before she was finally full.

Stepping out of the room, she found Zhou Yanshen talking to Jiang Zhiping under the old elm tree in the yard. Jiang Sisi was squatting to one side, idly poking ants with a twig. As soon as she saw Su Wanqing come out, she immediately dropped the twig and waved excitedly.

Seeing her come out, Jiang Zhiping smiled and said, "Dr. Su is awake? Leader Li and the others set off with the meteorite before dawn. They were worried that you two wouldn't accept it, so they specifically asked me to give you these gifts as a token of their gratitude." He pointed to several boxes on the stone bench next to him.

"Quickly try to persuade Captain Zhou, he insists that they are too valuable to accept. These two watches are a small token of his love from his wife, Comrade Wang. They are a perfect pair, and they would fit you both perfectly."
