Chapter 208: A Human Photocopier Machine

[The Master-Grade blueprint design of the Silver-Back Raptor (Silver Grade) is now in your inventory.]

Once a gear is successfully made, the gear would give off the corresponding glow based on its quality.

"Aunt Su, congratulations." Li Chunhua immediately clapped her hands for the middle-aged woman’s achievement.

Long Haoran was silent but his eyes were expressing that he was also glad for the woman.

It isn’t easy to live in this world, having to face danger every day and worrying about food and clothing. Despair will drove people crazy and hopeless but this group of people didn’t dwell on the negativities and still strived hard to contribute for the territory’s prosperity.

Though, he admired Xiao Hua more. She was resilient, braver, and kinder than any people within her age. Long Haoran’s fleetingly passed over Li Chunhua’s side profile.

Aunt He and other Aunts were also happy for the Aunt Su and patted her back and shoulders. "Old Su, don’t forget to teach us later."

"Of course, I need your help in finishing all. My back and arms would hurt if I do it all alone." Su was very shy. She gently patted their hands away before standing up and giving the armor to Li Chunhua.

"Landowner, it’s for you. Try it and let see how it looks."

Li Chunhua was also eager to wear and carefully took the silver leather armor from Aunt Su. The armor was made according to her size and it perfectly fits her.

Li Chunhua touched the silver armor, tried to move around and when she find it was very comfortable, she requested, "Aunties, can you make one for Chef Long and his brother too?"

Long Haoran who was observing her, was startled by her words.

"No problem, Landowner." Aunt Qie approached Long Haoran’s and took his measurement starting on the shoulders.

Her hands touched his arms and when she felt hard biceps, she was a bit stunned. "Young man, you have great body just like my husband in his younger years. Mind if I ask you what is your job before?"

"A cook." Long Haoran replied. He was slightly embarrassed.

"A cook? Then, your future wife will be lucky, she doesn’t need to be in the kitchen with you around and..." The Aunt coughed unable to continue her compliment.

After his measurement was taken, Long Haoran also gave Zurui’s based on his estimation.

Li Chunhua observed the armor a little bit more and a particular memory emerged in her mind.

Her Master was mainly proficient in spells and she only witnessed him once creating a dharma artifact which was a sword’s sheath made from a high-tier demonic beast’s skin. He gave it later to his friend.

She saw him carved inscription on the body of the sheath. When she asked him the purpose of it, he said that it was strengthen the sheath and increased its durability.

Li Chunhua wanted to try it on this armor. But as for the pattern, her mind found it hard to remember because Master had given her a roasted duck that day and it was so good.

Pattern...Pattern...The taste of the roasted duck is eclipsing her memories.

Wait, doesn’t she have one ? The patterns on the bandage blueprint!

"That’s it!" Li Chunhua’s eyes widened. She took out the bandage blueprint and her eyes shifted in between the two. Whatever language this was, it’s still a pattern! He he. She might as well try her luck.

"Aunties, I’ll be going now. Take care." Li Chunhua bid them goodbye.

"Take care, Landowner!" The Aunties waved their hands watching the two leaving the room and going out.

Long Haoran behind watched her hugged the papers while jumping around in joy all the way to the main residence. "Careful." His feet took quick strides to catch up to her.

Li Chunhua slowed down at the man’s reminder.

-----

Inside the quarry, not the one that crumbled due to Li Chunhua’s abnormal mining operation, the native workers had already mined [30 units of stones], [5 units of osmium], and [27 units of metal ingots].

Aunt Qie went to the training field to take the measurements of the others, carrying a measuring tape, pen and paper.

Aunt He and another Aunt stayed behind watching and listening to Aunt Su’s instructions. The latter proceed to sew the remaining silver leather pieces into a pair of greaves and bracer, but it ended up as failure. The quality of the gears downgraded, leading Aunt Su to be extremely disappointed.

[Experience +50...+50...]

[Silver-Back Raptor Leather Twin Greaves- Bronze Grade- (Durability-100/100)]

[Silver-Back Raptor Leather Twin Bracers- Copper Grade- (Durability-100/100)]

-Increases the wearer’s defense by 6%.]

"It’s okay Su, we can still use it. You’re already good for making a silver armor." Aunt He rubbed her shoulder to comfort her.

"But I’m afraid Landowner will become disappointed." Aunt Su frowned.

"Did you recall what Sir Elf said before? There’s no guarantee to make silver grade each time. The only thing we could do was gain experience."

Indeed.

Aunt Su finally didn’t dwell on the failures anymore and the group started cutting out and sewing the gears other than the armor because they were waiting for Qie.

[You’ve acquired the profession Beginner Tailor!]

[You’ve acquired the profession Beginner Tailor!]

Both Aunt He and the others were thrilled by the notifications.

Aunt Qie only came back and joined their group distributing the measurements.

When Li Chunhua and Long Haoran arrived at the living room, Siri was already stamping papers. Using a small piece of fabric, he dipped it in the charcoal-ink solution and carefully rubbed it on the surface of the carvings before pressing it on the paper.

The paper imprinted with the drawing was set aside to dry before stacking it on top of the pile of the ready-to-sell blueprints.

"Chef Long, I’ll help Brother Siri first. I need to make 3000 blueprint to raise funds." Li Chunhua said, sending an apologetic smile before walking towards Siri’s side.

It looks she’s going to busy. He’ll just teach her about kneading the dough tomorrow.

Long Haoran didn’t follow her inside and entered the kitchen instead.

Inside the kitchen, Long Haoran received his brother’s message about the class he chose.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Brother, I have given it enough thought. I will choose Mage. Anyway with a Deity of Wealth like you around, I can count as a Play to win player. Brother, as long you invest in me, I can guarantee, five times the ROI...

Long Zurui went on and on with his long speech about capitalism and economics including the rising stocks of the gaming industries.

In the end all of it ended in vain because the only potential investor wasn’t a bit move.

[Dumpling Duke]: You still haven’t paid the copper coins you owe before.

Long Zurui was tongue-tied: "..." He still hasn’t forgotten about it?

[You’ve got Bronze-Quality Staff.]

[You’ve got Bronze-Quality Robe.]

[You’ve got...]

[Dumpling Duke]: I’ll send another batch tomorrow.

Long Zurui was going to activate his flattering sales agent mode again when he heard the notices of receiving gears and the message. His lips stretched into a wide smile. This Brother of his has a sharp mouth but the heart was soft as tofu.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Thank you for your investment. I love you Brother!

Long Haoran was about to close the tab and prepared some light snacks for the people working hard in the living room when he heard the door opened, "Chef Long, I’m done! Now you can teach me about the dumplings."

"Didn’t you say you need to stamp 3000 papers?" Long Haoran asked in confusion.

"Yes and I already finished it." Li Chunhua replied.

Finished?

Long Haoran calculated the time he spent on the chat with his brother. It has only been less than five minutes and she’s already done?

His mind travelled to the Secret Realm. Maybe she looted several dozens of that machine that can copy documents.

That should be it.

As for the electricity...maybe she also looted a power plant or brought back several generators.

With the clouds of confusion faded away, he took out the incomplete dough she made and slowly went behind her, and guided her hands.

"Adjust your strength first, be gentle..." In their position, Long Haoran could smell her scent and the more he inhaled them, the more his heart felt a sense of calm, strange but comforting.

----

In the living room, Siri’s and the three spikers’ mouth were still hanging opened looking at the 3000 sheets of paper arranged neatly.

How did their Master do it?

They didn’t know what happened but only saw their Master’s arms and fingers multiplied into thousands and moved so fast that only afterimages was left, before it was raining papers in the room.

And just under 4 minutes, the dumbfounded spectators’ eyes were crossed witnessing the Ultimate Secretary move.

No need for a photocopier machines and generators. Just two cheating hands and a spell to transfer and dry the ink.
