Chapter 270 -267: Beards are Also Good Materials
The setting sun’s afterglow was reminiscent of fire.
Tang Yu walked on the road toward the equipment manufacturing plant.
From a distance, he could hear the roaring of the plant.
“Thankfully, the plant is built far from the residential area. Otherwise, this noise pollution would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the housing prices in the territory.”
Even the original employee dormitory, which was chosen to be built within the plant, had been moved to the foothills of the former vacation resort.
After the initial recruitment of a batch of rune debuggers, with the subsequent increase in survivors within the territory, they had hired many more people with rune expertise. As the wages were high and prospects bright, not only ordinary survivors but also several Awakeners had successfully landed jobs as rune debuggers.
By that time, the plant had shifted to a three-shift system, operating 24 hours non-stop. Besides several basic models of rune equipment, they also planned to attempt the production of more complex equipment on the assembly line.
In such circumstances, employees would rather walk a few extra kilometers than live nearby, enduring the torture to their ears. Not to mention, aside from a small supermarket selling basic necessities and a small cafeteria, there were no other supporting facilities in the vicinity of the plant.
Conversely, in the resort area, with part of the commercial district streets completed, an array of private vendors and shops had appeared, vastly enriching their leisure and entertainment life.
Therefore, working became more motivating for the survivors.

Tang Yu gazed down at a pristine white feather cradled in the palm of his hand.
The feather, roughly the size of a palm, floated a few centimeters above his hand, bobbing up and down. It was a precious item, numbered 017, that he had just acquired through a trade with the officials of Luoxia.
“This item’s number is not high-ranking; the energy contained within is not abundant. It cannot, like the golden droplet, forcibly stimulate a burst of terrifying power…”
When he had chosen this item, the accompanying Director Jin had been quite surprised.
Other numbered items regarded as treasures by the officials of Luoxia often had offensive abilities, or supportive functions, or some strange and bizarre powers. They were very different.
Number 017, the feather, apart from being extremely tough—unbreakable—and floating in the air when placed, had no other abilities.
“But if it weren’t so, this feather wouldn’t have been offered up for trade by the officials of Luoxia,” Tang Yu shook his head. “It definitely comes from a Transcendent creature, not an ordinary feather easily seen on their bodies, but the most precious cluster, akin to a dragon’s reverse scale.”
He wasn’t sure if dragons existed in this world, but with his extensive knowledge in mutant beast studies, material science, source power study, and more, Tang Yu deduced that such feathers were likely no more than three on that Transcendent creature.
A Transcendent creature’s life form was beyond ordinary, possessing all sorts of inconceivable powers. Even a single hair could be a very decent material, let alone the most precious cluster of feathers.
Most of the other numbered items were finished products, mostly treasure artifacts—equivalent to tools that could be used many times.
Tang Yu felt some regret, “Besides this feather, there were a few other materials, but sadly, Luoxia only agreed to trade one of them. It seems that the advanced rune equipment I offered wasn’t tempting enough… Damn it, when Luoxia officials want to purchase high-level rune equipment in the future, I will definitely make them pay dearly.”
Entering the high-tech rune manufacturing plant, Tang Yu turned left towards Kevin’s office… which also served as Kevin’s research and development manufacturing base. It occupied an area similar to the assembly production workshop on the other side.
Clang! Clang!
He walked in and saw Kevin directing several assistants to retrieve a freshly manufactured weapon.
Upon seeing Tang Yu, Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead, approached, and asked, “Director, what equipment do you need to be customized this time?”
“Do I come here just for custom equipment every time?” Tang Yu was exasperated.
“Is there anything else?”
Kevin retorted, and Tang Yu fell into thought.
It seemed… that was indeed the case…
“Cough.”
Tang Yu paused, then pretended to shake his head with regret, “I happened to come across two precious materials this time, but since Master Kevin isn’t interested, I might as well…”
“Where!!!”
Before he could finish, Kevin, with agility that defied logic, circled around him several times, until his gaze finally fell on the pristine feather cradled in the palm of Tang Yu’s hand.
His eyes were blazing, and he almost drooled.
Tang Yu felt dizzy from being swirled around, his vision filled with Kevin…and that elegant beard.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, “With Kevin’s beard so long, if he shaved it all off, it seems like it would be enough to make a horsetail whisk, right?”
Kevin, fixated on the pristine feather, felt a chill and couldn’t help but wind his long beard around his neck for a bit of warmth.
…
…
In the design room,
Kevin placed the white feather on the instrument for analysis and after a while lifted his head, “This feather is incredible, it actually contains several unique properties… I wonder what kind of equipment the Lord plans to turn the feather into?”
“What do you think it’s suitable for making?”
Kevin stroked his beard, “It could be used to make a pair of shoes.”
“Shoes?” Tang Yu was surprised, “Is such a small feather enough? I hope it doesn’t turn out to be just a single shoe in the end.”
Kevin flicked his elegant beard, “It’s enough, we’re not making it without adding other materials. By the way, there were two materials, right? Where’s the other one?”
Tang Yu reached out with a grabbing motion and from the Space Ring, he pulled out a silver-white arm bone.
The bone looked silver-white and pure, but when it appeared, a stifling energy emanated endlessly from the arm bone.
“An arm bone from a Transcendent Skeleton, and it’s fresh.”
Kevin: “…”
What the hell does fresh mean?
But after a quick examination, he found the energy within the arm bone to be very active, “This arm bone is suitable for crafting into a weapon, good for either close combat or ranged.”
Tang Yu nodded, “Let’s make the Feather Shoes first, there’s no rush with the arm bone…”
Among his current followers, there were none who used Dark Series powers.
Even if the weapon made from the arm bone were strong, it would be awkward to use… mainly because it would be a waste.
‘Just right, the conditions for upgrading the Territory by five levels have been met. After the upgrade, the tavern will have a few more spots available. I’ll decide how to use the arm bone then.’
Having received the precious materials, Kevin became ‘indifferent,’ planning to lock the doors to visitors as he couldn’t wait to research these two materials.
Seeing this, Tang Yu had no intention of staying.
Just as he was about to leave, Kevin seemed to recall something and suddenly said, “Oh right, this new batch of equipment we’ve developed was just about to be sent to the Logistics Department. Since you, Lord, are here, could you help by taking it there on your way? It’s along your path, and you don’t have much else going on.”
Tang Yu: “…”
MMP!
