Chapter 356: Chapter 300 Cultivating a Tool Person (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Blaze Base, Level Four Training Field.

When Master Lao Wang arrived here, he was still a bit confused.

"What does the instructor need me for? I, Lao Wang, am busy improving the Strange Crystal Great Cannon, there have been over twenty orders for Teleportation Rune Stones piling up, plus the design of new Strange Implements... and the casting of those stocked Strange Implements... the bulk orders of Strange Crystal Guns, and so on!"

He, Lao Wang, was very busy, so unless the instructor had something serious, he wished he wouldn’t be called.

Thinking of this, Master Wang complained further, "Those apprentices are so unreliable. If they could cast Strange Implements, make Teleportation Rune Stones, design new weapons, then I, Lao Wang, wouldn’t have to waste my precious time on these meaningless tasks!"

Master Wang just wanted to study the Godslayer weapon, alas, these days he was too busy to spare time for the enjoyable research.

Listening to Master Lao Wang’s litany of complaints, Fang You became increasingly aware of the problems currently facing the forging department.

——Problems everywhere!

At the middle and high-end level, there was only Master Lao Wang holding the fort; even the best in the department were merely official workers of the first level, still a fair distance away from a ’senior worker’ capable of casting Strange Implements.

Not that they couldn’t cast at all.

It’s just that the side effects of the Strange Implements they cast were still significant, or they cut the Ability of the Strange Creatures in half, failing to meet the standards. Such Implements... well, wouldn’t even qualify as Strange Implements.

Even in mid to low-end manufacturing, crafting white and green equipment was still short-handed.

This was even with the various facilities of the Forging Workshop assisting in assembly line operations. Despite that, they still couldn’t meet the growing demands of the Awakeners.

"The most common white-level standardized equipment, the countries nowadays... can roughly replicate up to 80%, 90%. How about outsourcing some of the basic processes?"

"That way, one can solve a big part of the problem."

"But this is just the most common issue," said Master Lao Wang.

"For the other issues, they can’t even cast Strange Implements, let alone design a practical new Strange Implement."

Master Lao Wang was very busy, running around so much, he was beside himself.

"That’s exactly right," said Fang You, "I called you here to solve your problem of being unable to duplicate yourself."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Master Wang’s eyes sparkled vividly, just as they did when he looked at Light Red.

This made Fang You involuntarily take a couple of steps back.

"Ahem, to solve this problem, first, you need to be in perfect condition."

"Alright, instructor."

Although Master Wang didn’t understand how being too busy and short-staffed was related to getting in perfect condition, the instructor was not one to joke around, so he took out a large quantity of precious supplements and potions and gobbled them down like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

Before long, Master Lao Wang, who had been working so hard on blacksmithing and design that he couldn’t find a single hair on his shiny bald head, was back in prime condition.

He was full of vigor.

He could even dance a bit.

He waited for what was to come next.

There was nothing next, just the instructor pointing a finger at him from afar.

Hum——

Instantly, the world spun, everything changed, and Master Lao Wang felt as though he had fallen into a vast expanse, surrounded by shadowy figures. His consciousness felt like it was splitting into pieces, with a headache so severe it was as if his head was about to explode.

It did explode, but not completely.

Or rather, it went back and forth between exploding and healing, a truly torturous cycle.

Ten or so meters away,

watching as Master Lao Wang’s complexion turned from yellow to white, from white to green, from green to black, and finally watching as he collapsed to the ground.

Instructor Fang was silent.

He glanced at Master Lao Wang’s condition.

Oh, he was just a tiny bit tired, so that’s okay then, he can just lie there.

"However, Master Wang is really weak, collapsing just from learning one skill. That won’t do; he needs to strengthen himself more," remarked Fang You, who wasn’t the one experiencing the hardship.

Learning a purple, epic-level skill has always been very challenging.

And Master Lao Wang, in particular, was not well-suited for the ’Shadow Clone’ skill. If it had been Black Blade or Fang You himself, it would have been easier to learn, but not for Master Wang.

If it weren’t for the fact that Master Wang was already a fifth-level Awakener and that Fang You had forced some learning tasks on him — Skill Cards — which allowed Master Wang to learn a few skills beyond blacksmithing, such as the ordinary skill ’Shadow Step,’ he would not have done well.

Otherwise, wanting to learn the epic-level ’Shadow Clone’ skill, Master Wang might not have even met the requirements.

But now he did.

If that’s enough, no one will die.

It was precisely because Master Wang was not well-suited that the Skill Book had to be allocated to him, otherwise, expecting Master Wang to ingest a skill fruit and learn it on his own would mean he’d be lucky to even get started after several months.

...

About half an hour later, Master Lao Wang finally came around.

"You’re awake; the skill learning was very successful."

Master Lao Wang was somewhat befuddled and weak at this moment.

He touched his smooth forehead and gradually regained his senses.

"Wait a second, didn’t you say you were going to solve the staff shortage for me, Lao Wang? How did it turn into learning a skill?"

"That’s correct, this skill is the key to solving your problem of not being able to duplicate yourself. Master Wang, please take the time to thoroughly understand it," said Fang You.

Learning the skill was like having it forced into his brain, and it was a painful process.

Now, picking up the memories from before, Master Wang Chui finally realized the ingenious nature of this skill, its use of life energy and the method of creating independent duplicates were inconceivable.

...Of course, Master Wang had no interest in these aspects.

They were out of his range of hobbies; he was just pondering the practical uses of the skill.
