Chapter 200 Advanced Blacksmith, Divine Skill [Mage's Hand]
Instructor Huang Qiuyue shook her head and sighed, "However, we don't have your level of mastery in skeletal skills; we only use biological materials to create bionic skeletons."
However, after an ordinary person undergoes the baptism of the awakening ritual and successfully awakens into a professional, their physiological structure will no longer be the same as that of an ordinary human.
These simulated skeletons, made using traditional biological techniques, cannot be integrated into the professional's own power system at all.
Not only will it fail to help them complete their cultivation, it will also cause an extremely strong rejection reaction.
This idea ultimately failed.
At this moment, Instructor Shen Hongyu hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Based on my experience fighting in the mythical world, it's not just us humans on Earth who have the problem of bone injuries that are difficult to heal; the Abyss Demons and even other races in the mythical world are the same."
As we discussed in previous lessons, for beings of flesh and blood like us, the soul and the body are both indispensable.
Although instructors Huang Qiuyue and Shen Hongyu did not explicitly state their views on the Ark concept, their words clearly implied a lack of optimism.
Before Fang Zhou could speak, Shen Ziwei couldn't hold back any longer.
She stood up and said with a firm expression, "I know the hope of bone regeneration may be slim, but I am willing to participate in the experiment on this topic personally."
"Ark, if you're looking for test subjects, please put me first!"
Shen Ziwei looked at the mechanical prosthetic arm on her left arm and said with a bitter expression, "Anyway, the situation can't get any worse."
Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the reception room, Fang Zhou said with a wry smile, "Ziwei, the situation isn't that bad yet."
To be honest, this is just a preliminary idea, and I'm not very confident that it will succeed.
However, based on my understanding of skeletal skills, there's a chance that artificial skeletons created using undead energy might be accepted by the human body.
Further testing is needed to determine the specifics.
He looked at Shen Ziwei and said, "When I was hunting in Cave 1, I encountered several ice trolls and successfully obtained their troll hearts."
In the monster encyclopedia, trolls are notorious monsters known for their high vitality.
Even if they lose an arm or a leg, as long as they have enough food and energy, and given enough time, they can recover. I'm thinking of using research data on trolls to deduce the ability to trigger an immune rejection response.
Shen Ziwei's eyes lit up as she looked at Instructor Huang Qiuyue standing to the side.
Huang Qiuyue looked at Fangzhou and said, "Fangzhou, I can help you collect information on this."
Our Light-based professional association has also conducted comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth research on trolls.
From what I understand, trolls are indeed exceptionally gifted in terms of vitality. Perhaps this will offer you some insight.
In addition, there's our bone regeneration project from a few years ago, which ended in failure.
You can also retrieve the original experimental progress and conclusion reports from the archives of Haicheng Military Academy.
Hopefully this will be of some help to you.
Fang Zhou nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Instructor Huang."
If I discover anything, I will definitely tell you and Instructor Shen immediately.
At this moment, Su Xinyan snapped her fingers casually and said, "Leave the matter of transferring the data from the military academy to me."
Instructor Huang, I'd also appreciate it if you could send me the project number from back then.
I'll write the application later. I'll retrieve the experimental data from the archives.
Huang Qiuyue opened her personal terminal and sent a string of project code to Su Xinyan and Fang Zhou.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhou took out the [Life Crystal] purified from the Demon Crystal of the Ferocious Ant Queen from his bosom and said, "Actually, we necromancers have always faced a problem."
That is, the energy of death will constantly erode our bodies, causing our physique to be far weaker than that of ordinary professionals.
Not to mention compared to combat professionals, there's a significant gap even compared to other magic professionals. Regarding this issue, Instructor Su Xinyan once mentioned to me that the nourishment of life crystals can, to some extent, slow down the erosion of death energy.
Fang Zhou looked at the two instructors, Shen Hongyu and Huang Qiuyue, and said, "I have always carried this life crystal with me since I obtained it."
Through my own experience, I can indeed feel the continuous nourishment of life energy emanating from it.
Although the effect is not obvious, it is long-lasting and harmless.
In light of this, I believe that in addition to referring to the research results on monsters like trolls, we can also analyze the working principle of life crystals.
This might also contribute to the ongoing research on bone regeneration for human professionals.
Su Xinyan tapped a few times on her personal terminal, then looked up and said to Fang Zhou, "Regarding life crystals, I previously looked for a lot of research results in order to avoid my body being eroded by death attribute energy."
I have conducted several experiments myself and have gained some insights.
"Ark, if you need it, I can send you these materials."
Fangzhou said with some delight, "Thank you so much, Instructor Su."
Life Crystals are such a precious resource that they are almost impossible to exchange for in the military academy's resource vault.
I'm having trouble figuring out where I can get enough material for my research!
With the research data on life crystals you provided and the troll research data Instructor Huang provided, and if we have enough experimental materials, we should be able to make a rough judgment on the feasibility of my idea in a short time.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hongyu looked at her expectant daughter, sighed softly, and said, "Fangzhou, since that's the case, I will find a way to get you enough trolls and life crystals."
You don't need to worry about it.
Fang Zhou nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Instructor Shen."
However, given my limited strength, I only need an apprentice-level living troll and a life crystal.
Shen Hongyu nodded slightly and began to carefully consider where to find these two relatively scarce resources for Fangzhou and her daughter.
Although she was still not very optimistic about Fangzhou's plan, she could tell that Fangzhou Haosui had indeed carefully prepared a research plan.
Whether it succeeds or not, it's all up to fate.
It's only right to put in more effort and pay a higher price for the sake of my daughter.
At this moment, Shen Ziwei looked at Fang Zhou, pursed her lips, and asked with some anticipation, "Fang Zhou, if you don't mind, can I join your research group?"
If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know.
I don't need any reward, I just want to be able to participate in the bone regeneration experiment.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, I'm not afraid.
Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he agreed to Shen Ziwei's application.
Putting himself in her shoes, he understood Shen Ziwei's feelings and thoughts.
On the one hand, she was eager to participate in the research on bone regeneration to see if she had any hope of recovery.
On the other hand, she also wanted to do something for the Ark to express her gratitude.
However, if Shen Ziwei were to become the research assistant for the bone regeneration project, it would indeed save Fang Zhou some of his energy.
After all, this topic concerns her own future and destiny, so Shen Ziwei will definitely take it very seriously.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou said to Shen Ziwei, "No problem, Ziwei."
I now have two assistants, whose names you should have heard of: Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang.
I will add you to our project work group later.
The group file contains the corresponding research plan and work content.
Your main responsibility is to assist me in my research on the topic of bone regeneration in human professionals.
After I sort through the information that Instructor Su and Instructor Huang gave me, I will discuss the specific work details with you.
In addition, your benefits and treatment will be on par with those of Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang.
I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.
"Yes, thank you, Ark!"
I will do my utmost.
Shen Ziwei excitedly extended her only remaining right hand.
Fang Zhou smiled slightly and reached out to shake her hand.
Seeing Shen Ziwei transform from listless to spirited and energetic, Instructor Shen Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more grateful to Fang Zhou.
Regardless of the final outcome of this research project, Shen Hongyu was already content as long as she could find something for Shen Ziwei to do and help her recover from the pain and depression caused by the severe blow.
Of course, if there's even a one in ten thousand chance that Ark can actually deduce the skill of bone regeneration, then that would truly be a stroke of luck.
Following this topic, the group exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the conversation gradually shifted to Fang Zhou and his fellow first-year students.
Shen Ziwei asked with some curiosity, "Ark, what resources did you exchange at the logistics department?"
I saw in the company's group chat that a lot of people were saying you'd been throwing money around again.
Fangzhou opened the space storage capsule, took out the resource box he had exchanged from the logistics department, and said with a wry smile, "Besides some general skills, there are just some refinement stones and gems."
The military academy rewarded the number one seed with three pieces of white, common-quality Nova equipment: a mage hat and two rings.
I'm thinking of upgrading these three pieces of equipment to their maximum potential to improve my cultivation efficiency.
Unfortunately, I'm not really confident in refining the second-level refined stones and setting the second-level gemstones on my own.
I'm having a real headache right now; where can I find a blacksmith to help me?
Upon hearing this, Instructor Huang Qiuyue smiled slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
I happen to have some blacksmithing talent and have just passed the advanced blacksmithing exam.
For higher-level refining and inlaying, I cannot guarantee the success rate.
However, I am quite confident in enhancing white, ordinary quality equipment to level two.
Ark, if you don't mind, I can try to enhance it for you right now.
how?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou felt a pang of unease and couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Huang, can clerics and auxiliary clerics also take on the secondary profession of [Blacksmith]?"
"certainly!"
When this topic came up, Huang Qiuyue's smile became even more pronounced.
She nodded and said, "You don't think only combatants have blacksmithing talent, do you?"
Fangzhou nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Yes."
I thought blacksmiths needed to use heavy forging tools.
Combatants whose primary attribute is Strength or Constitution are better suited to part-time blacksmithing.
Huang Qiuye replied, "What you said makes sense."
In reality, most blacksmiths are indeed warriors who do it part-time.
As you said, the blacksmith profession requires the use of heavy forging tools, whether it is forging equipment, refining equipment, or setting gems.
Generally speaking, sufficient strength and physical attributes are indeed required to perform part-time work.
After a slight pause, Huang Qiuyue twitched her right index finger, summoning a large, transparent hand that radiated dazzling light.
As she manipulated the large, transparent hand, moving its five fingers nimbly, she chuckled, "However, we mages and support classes have a very useful universal skill called [Mage's Hand]."
This skill can be used from the apprentice stage to the legendary king level, greatly facilitating our daily lives.
Look. The Mage's Hand can, to some extent, convert our main Spirit attribute into a certain percentage of our Strength attribute.
Furthermore, as our skill proficiency increases, our flexibility in controlling the Mage Hand will also greatly improve.
At the [Perfect] level of proficiency, it becomes virtually indistinguishable from our own palm.
At this point, Fangzhou naturally realized what was going on.
He looked in amazement at the giant, transparent hand that moved nimbly and gracefully like a butterfly flitting among flowers in mid-air in the reception room, and instantly understood how Huang Qiuyue, this seemingly weak and delicate [Light Priest], could also have the secondary profession of [Blacksmith].
Fangzhou exclaimed, "So that's how it is."
Instructor Huang, it must have been with the help of this mage that you were able to use those heavy forging tools to forge and strengthen your items.
What a brilliant idea!
These seemingly insignificant skills can actually be used in such ways!
It was rare to see Fang Zhou, the number one seed with such a fine temperament, showing such a praising expression. Huang Qiuyue withdrew the mage's hand.
He smiled with a hint of smugness and said, "Fang Zhou, you are indeed smart; you understand immediately."
How is it?
Would you like to see how I upgraded these equipment?
At this moment, Su Xinyan, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke up: "Our laboratory has very complete facilities."
Next to my alchemy room is a forging room.
Seeing that Su Xinyan also agreed, Fang Zhou said to Instructor Huang Qiuyue, "Then I'll have to trouble Instructor Huang."
I'd also love to observe your technique.
Everyone stood up and, guided by Su Xinyan, went to the research group's forging room.
Fangzhou took out the level 2 refinement stone and level 2 gem from the resource box, feeling somewhat excited.
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!
On his way back to the research group, he was still worried that he didn't have enough soul power to refine and embed, which would affect his cultivation efficiency.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Instructor Huang Qiuyue, a rare assistant blacksmith.
And out of respect for Instructor Shen Hongyu and Shen Ziwei, she was even willing to lend a helping hand for free.
This undoubtedly saved the Ark a huge amount of soul power expenditure.
