Personnel confirmed, Chu Tian gave them a coordinate.
They were told to depart first…
Seeing everyone leave, he turned to the Magician and asked,
“That blueprint, what’s the deal?”
When he saw him looking at the engineering blueprint before, his eyes clearly changed.
“Wasn’t I researching the [Demonic Element Magic Cannon]? There were some principles I hadn’t fully figured out yet, and I saw some things on this blueprint that could be borrowed for an upgrade…
It should speed up my research progress!” the Magician quickly replied.
“Oh, then go focus on your research. By the way, do you have any expert-level engineers under you?” Chu Tian continued to ask.
“Yes… I have three!” the Magician said proudly.
“So many?” Chu Tian was stunned. To have life players who could upgrade to expert level was practically a rarity now.
He never expected this kid to have acquired three.
He had recruited the Magician to his side back then out of impulse and to settle a personal grudge.
In his previous life, the Magician was under Huang Xueyi, and he had suffered a lot at this kid’s hands.
It seemed his judgment back then was incredibly correct.
“Deploy two to me!” Chu Tian said after thinking for a moment.
“Ah? That’s not good, boss. If I give you two, I’ll have to get my own hands dirty with the work…” the Magician said with a crying face upon hearing this.
“Uh… You managed to get three expert-level engineers, but you’re not planning to slack off from working, are you?” Chu Tian teased, seeing his expression.
“Emmm… When should they come over?” the Magician said awkwardly,
quickly changing the subject.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Tian knew his guess was right.
This kid had learned to be cunning.
But he didn’t mind.
After a moment of contemplation, he replied, “I’ll let you know when we get back.”
“Okay…” The other party agreed when he heard Chu Tian wasn’t asking for them immediately.
After briefing the Magician, he then looked at his clone.
“Old man, want to come play with us?”
“No, you control it yourself.” the clone’s voice came out.
However, in the next moment, Chu Tian felt the familiar aura of the clone disappear.
He couldn’t help but be speechless. This old fellow…
“Sister Xixi, this set of blueprints, gather the blacksmiths immediately to craft them.”
Chu Tian reached into his backpack and took out a blueprint that shimmered with silver-white light.
When Qi Xi saw it, her eyes immediately lit up.
“A Silver-grade blueprint?”
She reached out and took it.
“Fortress Defense System Blueprint… a set?” Qi Xi exclaimed in shock.
“What? Let me see!” the Magician, who hadn’t left yet and had been astonished by the color of the blueprint, was now more than just shocked.
He directly reached out to snatch it.
Qi Xi, knowing Chu Tian’s relationship with him, readily let go.
Allowing him to seize it.
“Holy cow, holy holy cow…” the Magician exclaimed, unable to articulate his words as he flipped through it.
“Stop saying ‘holy cow’! Get to work on crafting it. You can put your current research aside,
but this set of blueprints must be completed before I capture the first fortress.”
Chu Tian smiled at his reaction.
This was the reward for being the first player in the world to reach level sixty.
As the会长 of a level six guild, he had directly received this set of blueprints.
Although it was only Silver-grade, a complete set of Silver-grade blueprints, with a structure that was both offensive and defensive,
had an immeasurable value.
“This… the learning requirement is Master-level… such a massive undertaking, I might not be able to complete it.
Moreover, crafting the parts requires a Master-level blacksmith. Where can I find one?”
The Magician looked at it and was speechless.
Chu Tian’s requirements were a bit high.
He fully believed that Chu Tian would capture a fortress the moment the Fortress Conquest expansion pack was launched,
and use it as a base to relocate the guild.
This set of blueprints was naturally meant to be used on that fortress.
That way, Chu Tian would possess an invincible territory.
As long as the guild’s base wasn’t destroyed, they would have the ability to counterattack at any time.
“Master-level blacksmith? Watch this!”
Chu Tian’s lips curved slightly.
The black-robed figure standing beside him moved.
This was Chu Tian’s clone, now that Dao Tian had left, the clone was back under Chu Tian’s management.
He took a step forward, lifted his black hood, revealing a golden badge on his chest.
It bore the symbol of an iron hammer.
Below the hammer was a five-pointed star.
“Gold Badge One Star, I’ll be… that’s a Master-level blacksmith’s badge.”
The Magician himself was a Master-level Engineer, wearing a golden badge on his chest with a gear icon and a five-pointed star below it.
He knew how difficult it was for a life profession player to advance from a Silver Three-star badge, which was Expert-level, to a Gold One-star badge.
He never expected Chu Tian to actually have a Master-level blacksmith under his command.
This was a treasure.
The Magician’s eyes immediately lit up.
Because although he was now a Master-level Engineer, the items he could manufacture were only Master-level.
However, many parts required the creation of similarly Master-level blacksmiths
to manufacture those high-level items.
Since he had upgraded to Master-level Engineer,
his proficiency points had not increased at all.
This was because he had not manufactured any Master-level items.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he didn’t have blacksmiths of the same level to craft parts for him.
“Brother, how about you join me from now on?” the Magician stepped forward, intending to get friendly with Chu Tian’s clone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached,
the black-robed figure raised his foot and kicked.
He sent the Magician flying.
“If you don’t want to join, fine. You… why are you hitting me…?” the Magician rolled on the ground and got up.
“You’re trying to poach my people, right on my turf, who else would I kick but you?”
As this voice sounded, the Magician froze.
The voice was very familiar; it was Chu Tian’s voice.
But the direction from which it came was from the black-robed figure in front of him.
The next second, the black-robed figure lifted his hood.
“Good heavens… I’ve seen a ghost!” the Magician took a step back.
This gaze allowed him to see the faces of Chu Tian and the clone simultaneously.
For a moment, he stammered, pointing at Chu Tian, then at the clone.
He didn’t know what to say.
“Stop dawdling. Didn’t you say you couldn’t complete the assembly alone? Come, I’ll teach you!” the clone said.
This was naturally controlled by a sliver of Chu Tian’s consciousness.
After saying this, under the Magician’s gaze,
he took out a blank blueprint scroll.
In his hand, he took out an inscription pen.
Then, he opened the crafting section of the [Fortress Defense System Blueprint (Set)].
His inscription pen moved in his hand.
He was actually tracing this blueprint.
“Master-level blueprints can only be traced by Grandmaster-level craftsmen. What are you doing?” the Magician’s eyes widened.
He didn’t understand what this person, who looked exactly like Chu Tian, was doing.
