Chapter 271: Chapter 259: Illiterate, returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain, failed to pick up a bargain, giving you a chance! (1/3)

Indeed!

Chu Feng was delighted in his heart, the identification mechanism of the panel could indeed be applied to damaged magic devices!

Even for broken magic devices, was there a corresponding repair method?!

Chu Feng suppressed the desire to cheer and opened the repair method.

In an instant, with a swoosh, complicated terminology and formulas filled every corner of his vision!

"..."

Chu Feng was first startled, then focused intently as he read line by line.

Gradually, he began to quiet down, became expressionless, and silently closed the page.

He confirmed it once more.

He was damn illiterate!

He couldn’t understand, couldn’t understand at all!

He didn’t even recognize the symbols used in the formulas!

He suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart—he must study hard upon returning and build a solid theoretical foundation!

Although he didn’t understand these repair methods, the hints clearly stated that they involved knowledge of Magic Pattern Studies.

However, Magic Pattern Studies were a massive weak point for humans. All the knowledge about magic patterns was translated from books captured from the Demon Clan, not only were the contents crude and disconnected, but the basic knowledge wasn’t even complete, fundamentally unstable.

This had caused the magic departments of various universities and major forces among humanity to become very ineffective, even struggling to produce qualified magic devices.

They could only repair or decode captured Demon Clan magic devices, reusing them repeatedly, almost turning into junk recyclers, which was quite shabby.

If he had the relevant knowledge now, he might be able to repair this superior magic device and deduce the authentic Demon Clan Magic Pattern Studies from it!

This would be an extremely valuable treasure for the Human Race!

Unfortunately, he was currently incapable of understanding it and could only return empty-handed from this treasure mountain.

...

However, this did not completely extinguish the excitement welling up in his heart afterward.

When touching a True Artifact, similar prompts would appear before Chu Feng’s eyes, directly pointing out the name and traits of the True Artifact, very intuitive and convenient.

Later, he discovered it could also identify magic devices, like when he first got his hands on the Crystal Rainbow Bracelet, Chu Feng immediately knew its trait.

However, inside Longhua, the magic devices he could access were already identified accurately, leaving no room for him to use the panel identification.

It was only after hearing Zheng Bo mention that there were unidentified miscellaneous items in the warehouse that he suddenly had the idea to come here and see if the panel identification was still effective.

Now he had confirmed, it was!

Although currently it seemed he could only identify True Artifacts and magic devices, being able to understand a bit was better than not understanding at all!

Chu Feng gently set down the senior sealed collar ring, his eyes lightly scanning the entire room, the excitement almost leaping out of them.

This place was an unexcavated treasure trove!

...

Accompanied by a bored Zheng Bo, who began to count his fingers, Chu Feng walked slowly through the warehouse, as if truly appreciating the diversity of civilizations represented in these sundries.

Some belonged to the High-rank Demon Clan’s creations while others were magical devices from the Demon Clan, bizarre in appearance.

Through Zheng Bo’s casual explanations, Chu Feng learned that rough-looking objects were usually products of the Demon Clan, some of which had actually powerful effects, but in Zheng Bo’s words, they were "a complete waste of potential."

He pointed to an angular object that looked like a giant sea urchin and laughed, "Look at this ’thing’, it’s what the Demon Clan calls a ’Demon Artifact.’

"Ha, don’t be fooled by it; there’s really no such thing as a Demon Artifact.

"The Demon Clan really has no ability to create anything original; they just clumsily imitate the Human Race and the Demon Race and don’t deserve their own system.

"Do you know, this big sphere is made from no fewer than twenty-one rare materials, just casually mixed together!"

At this point, Zheng Bo lamented, "So many materials haphazardly combined into one mess; just look at what they’ve made—it’s such a waste!

"If we could get our hands on that many precious materials, we could at least forge ten or more Medium Grade or higher True Artifacts!

"Deeply refining and extracting the essence, we could even create a couple of Taoist Tools!"

Chu Feng touched the ’Stone Sea Urchin,’ and sure enough, no hints popped up.

After hearing Zheng Bo put it that way, he too felt it was simply too wasteful!

"So why is this thing still lying here? Why not drag it away to be melted down and reused?" Chu Feng curiously asked.

Zheng Bo sighed, "We’ve tried, but it can’t be melted down.

"The Demon Clan may be foolish, but they are strong, and they forcefully mixed all the materials into a pile of crap by the most primitive hammering!

"The components inside have all become impurities and can’t be separated for use anymore.

"The technicians in the Logistics Manufacturing Department are also in agony; it’s a pity to throw this thing away, but it’s useless to keep it.

"Might as well leave it here out of sight, out of mind."

Chu Feng sympathetically comforted Zheng Bo a little while they chatted and continued walking to the back.

Soon, he had touched everything, and rubbing the dust off his hands, his brow deeply furrowed.

It wasn’t working; there were no particularly valuable treasures!

All he had felt along the way were Magic Conductors, but every single one was severely damaged.

Either the magic power had dissipated due to broken Magic Patterns, the original functionality was indiscernible, requiring all Magic Patterns to be redrawn, or the structure was irreparably damaged, beyond repair.

And the casual explanations given by Zheng Bo along the way also proved that the experts at the Demon Elimination Army’s Logistics Manufacturing Department weren’t just twiddling their thumbs.

They basically knew the details and origins of these Magic Conductors, and the only reason they were kept was that it would have been a pity to throw them away, just waiting for technology to advance so that they could be revisited and utilized later.

They left absolutely no room for him to find any loopholes!

A treasure vault? No, it was just a junkyard, full of unusable garbage.

Feeling rather resentful, Chu Feng thought it would have been better not to come at all. Having come this far, if he couldn’t find a major oversight, wouldn’t that be a waste of a trip?

...

Zheng Bo watched his conflicted expression and almost burst out laughing.

He wasn’t a fool, initially thinking that Chu Feng was genuinely interested in these items.

But he soon realized that this kid was overconfident in his own judgment, coming here hoping to find overlooked treasures.

He was barely holding back his laughter; looking for overlooked treasures? As if it were that easy!

Since the establishment of the Demon Elimination Army nearly a century ago, the army was packed with talent and deep-rooted expertise. Although they might not rival institutions like Yan University in theoretical knowledge, when it came to practical identification skills, they were streets ahead!

Expecting to find something the experts of the Demon Elimination Army had missed, slipping through their fingertips—was he delusional from too much bad booze clouding his brain?

Zheng Bo’s eyes twinkled as he suddenly chuckled, "Little bro, looking for overlooked treasures, are you?"

Chu Feng grinned and unabashedly admitted, "A bit greedy, thinking maybe I’ll luck out and uncover some surprises."

Zheng Bo teasingly laughed, "Looks like it didn’t pan out?"

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and joked, "Not cool, bro! What do you mean it didn’t pan out? It just means your army has too many experts, leaving no chance to test my eye for this!"

Zheng Bo burst out laughing, quite proud, then continued to laugh, "Alright then, bro, I’ll give you a chance. Follow me!"
