Chapter 167 -136 Follow the Valkyrie Companion!_3
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ sees you turning away in anger, but is not disappointed. It laughs loudly and tells you that the previous promise is still valid, and it will modify the puppets for you free of charge.]
[However, the next time you come, the processing fee will be 500,000 spirit points, not a point less!]
[After saying this, it looks down and doesn’t look at you anymore, continuing with its assembly work, occasionally breaking into a fit of laughter.]
[You step into the passage and head for the next factory…]
Lin Xun sneered and continued to delve into the factory.
Luckily, he didn’t kill the other Puppet Technician — ‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ before.
The craftsman was insatiably greedy, wanting to charge him extra fees. Lin Xun decided to rebel against his plan.
He’d rather give the spirit points to the Puppet Technician than to the Puppet Craftsman.
[You step into the passage and proceed to the next factory…]
[A colossal shadow takes up half the factory’s space…]
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ faced the corner of the factory, mumbling to himself…]
[Only when you approach, do you hear that it is still doubting if its ‘War Machine – Hercules’ is really no match for the ‘Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ of the Puppet Craftsman.]
[Your arrival attracts the attention of ‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’…]
[You explain your intentions…]
[When ‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ hears that the messenger of the True God needs parts processed, it states frankly that it’d be its honor, and wouldn’t dare to charge any fees.]
[You tell it the details of the parts required to modify ‘Combat Angel – Valkyrie’.]
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ assuredly pats its chest, saying it will devote its full attention to processing the parts. It won’t slack off just because it doesn’t charge any fees and will try to make every part perfectly crafted. It asks the messenger of the True God to have faith in it…]
[Would you like to give it the ‘Large Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Brick’*68?]
Lin Xun’s eyes brightened.
Free parts!
Being a messenger of the True God was indeed convenient. The Puppet Craftsman even waived the processing fees on the parts.
Comparing the two NPCs, one worked tirelessly, suffered bitterness and exhaustion all for him while the other acted like a harpy, only wanting to scrape more spirit points off him.]
He decisively selected ‘yes’.]
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ takes the fine bronze brick, uses its remaining arm to pull together several lathes from the side, and starts processing…]
[Processing…]
The text stops there.
Lin Xun was not in a hurry and quietly waited.
After an hour’s wait, the text changed.
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ has transformed all the fine bronze bricks into the parts you need. Every part has a dark golden sheen and looks extremely well-made.]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Spring’ (Material)*1]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Gyroscope’ (Material)*2]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Movement’ (Material)*5]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Bearing’ (Material)*15]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Gear’ (Material)*20]
[You received ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Connecting Rod’ (Material)*25]
[‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ tells you, if there’s anything else you need help with, please don’t hesitate to ask…]
Receiving the parts, Lin Xun said goodbye to the Puppet Technician and headed straight to the Puppet Craftsman.
[You return to the passage, back to the previous factory…]
[A colossal shadow takes up half the factory’s space…]
[Seeing you, ‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ breaks into a big laugh, asking if you have prepared the 500,000 spirit points. Shortly proceeding to ask you where you got the parts from, it informs you that its puppet technician colleague was long dead and no one else but it in Sofia City could make these parts.]
[You take out sixty-eight perfectly crafted parts and place them before it.]
[The laughter of ‘The Inquisitive Puppet Craftsman’ stops abruptly, like a chicken being choked.]
[Apostle, you can’t avoid this. How will you respond?]
[1. Tell it straightforwardly that the ‘inquisitive puppet technician’ is not dead. You deceived it by cooperating with the technician. If it still wants to kill the technician, it has to obediently modify the doll. Once the modification is complete, you will kill the technician on its behalf.]
[2. Switch to the ‘inquisitive smelter factory owner’s shell, loudly proclaim, ‘I have natural talents, catch on easily, can trivial work like manufacturing parts be more difficult than my master-level refined copper smelting skill?’]
[3. Get furious and use the shell talent ‘Earth’s Heaviness’ to grow massive, then push over the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’, raise the ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ threateningly. If it doesn’t modify the puppet for you, kill it.]
After some thought, Lin Xun selected the second option.
He couldn’t fall out with the puppet craftsman yet.
If he chose the first or third options, he would likely get into a conflict with the craftsman.
Even if the puppet craftsman could continue to modify the puppet for him, it was hard to ensure that the craftsman wouldn’t deliberately lower the quality of the finished product.
[You have shifted into the shell of the ‘inquisitive smelter factory owner’!]
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ showed a surprised expression after you changed your appearance and became a famous factory owner in Sofia’s city.]
[After you boasted about the high difficulty of your smelting skills and the low difficulty of processing refined copper parts, it was somewhat annoyed but still believed you.]
[You took out the ‘Brass Sand Hammer’ and lightly shook it, summoning ‘assistant-type maid puppet’…]
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ took the sixty-eight parts and your ‘Brass Sand Hammer’ and is about to start modifications…]
[You then took out a puddle of sticky fluid that twinkled with a dark golden light, the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ gaped with its four eyes, dumbfounded…]
[You loudly said that this was the newest refined copper material you had smelted, and requested it to be added during the modification.]
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ nodded, agreeing, but indicated it will cost more!]
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, drew a deep breath.
He directly opened his inventory, and went through a series of operations.
[Do you want to give ‘Large Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze’ (Material) *2 to the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’?]
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ took the remaining pieces of your refined copper brick, shook its head, indicating it’s not enough.]
Lin Xun smiled coldly, and continued with his actions.
[Do you want to give ‘100000 Spirit Points’ to the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’?]
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ took your remaining hundred thousand spirit points, shook its head, indicating it’s not enough.]
He directly removed the weapon of the Yellow Bishop, and clicked to gift it.
[Do you want to give the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ to the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’?]
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ took the spear radiating thunder and golden light, finally nodding its head.]
[It placed the refined copper parts and ‘Refined Copper Essence’ in front of it, pulled over several large lathes, picked up the dumbfounded ‘assistant-type maid puppet,’ and began the modifications…]
[Modifying…]
The text came to a standstill again.
Lin Xun lit a cigarette and waited silently.
Time flew by, and three hours passed in no time.
It was already deep into the night outside the window of the rental house. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was midnight.
[The ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’ wiped the sweat off his forehead, handed the ‘Refined Copper Sand Hammer’ to you, indicating the modification was complete.]
[You have obtained ‘Refined Copper Sand Hammer’ (Special Item)!]
Lin Xun was overjoyed.
He hurriedly opened his inventory to check.
[‘Refined Copper Sand Hammer——Combat Angel-Valkyrie’ (Special Item): a small, handheld percussion instrument. The hollow mallet head made from refined copper alloy contains some copper sand. When the copper handle is shaken, it makes a pleasant ‘shasa’ sound. A female doll with a pair of wings is engraved on the mallet head, it is extremely delicate and lifelike.]
[After using it, you will summon the follower companion——Combat Angel-Valkyrie. The follower companion can assist in combat and can also be used for assistance. After the follower companion dies, it needs 1 point of spiritual strength to reshape it for it to be summoned again.]
A following companion?
Not a summoning creature?
Lin Xun was confused after reading the description.
After contemplating for a while, he remembered his main task.
Directly summoned the ‘Combat Angel-Valkyrie’ and issued the order to kill the ‘inquisitive puppet craftsman’!
