Chapter 145: Tide Sound Workshop, No Idlers (Thanks to the Alliance Leader who turned over and turned over again
【TD】
The screen flashed, the message was sent.
Ji Jue turned off the phone screen, shaking his head and sighing, "I'm convinced, asking for leave just because of thunder and rain, this trash is hopeless."
He originally wanted to say more, but he just registered a small account called "Yacheng Top Laner," and was banned after just one scolding—these dogs at the City Hall don't do human things on weekdays, but they are faster than anyone at being filial sons and banning accounts.
Ji Jue couldn't help but feel discouraged, forget it, write it down first, and change to a small account to continue scolding another day.
In Yacheng, there are three things that are always unavoidable: wind, rain, and scolding the Viceroy.
Yacheng is located in a remote area, close to the Endless Sea, with typhoons and continuous rainy seasons every year, flooding every few days, but the sewers are rotten to the point of collapse; you can't say there aren't any, but they are about the same as not having any.
For so many years, the Viceroy has changed back and forth, only caring about fishing for money, shouting slogans louder than anyone, but not doing any real work, instead installing 800,000-each trash cans all over the streets and alleys.
Who wouldn't say it's bad luck?
To this day, just staying at the level of scolding the Viceroy is already a simple heart with the legacy of the ancient style.
In just this short while, the originally sunny weather was once again covered by dark clouds.
Drizzling rain fell again.
Lightning and thunder.
He yawned and waved his hand for the last time.
On the operation table, the alchemical items covered in cracks shattered at the sound of the destruction of the dissociation technique, turning into dust.
A trace of remaining essence flashed out from it, and was caught by Ji Jue, then absorbed by the ability of Mechanical Descent. In the incoming illusions and perceptions, Ji Jue couldn't help but grimace, a wave of nausea.
It took him several days to finally crush all the scrap alchemical products he had carried back from the villa the other day.
The progress of the dissociation technique had seen gratifying growth—although the effect was relatively weak, he could already achieve 100% release success in the dual-hand state.
But the essence squeezed out from a pile of scrapped equipment was really too scarce.
Better than nothing.
So much so that the growth of Mechanical Descent was minimal, still stuck at 95% of the second stage, an increase of less than five points.
It can only be said that some people look like they are doing well, but the alchemical items they carry are all scrap, the quality is really terrifyingly low, and the production level is even more clumsy.
Some operations are not even at the level of being clumsy, they just flip the table, always giving you some wonderful surprises in unexpected places.
It's like seeing a mirror-smooth brake pad after taking off the wheel when repairing a car, or seeing the drive shaft broken and dragging on the ground after lying down to look because the car owner said there was an abnormal noise when driving.
It's so unbelievable that it's a miracle of engineering; Ji Jue wanted to hand over a cigarette and ask, Brother, how did you do it?
By comparison, the pendant of the Transcendent Vision from the other day seemed quite commendable and standard.
Accustomed to Professor Ye's creation, which was rigorous to the point of being flawless and smooth to the point of being natural, Ji Jue's vision had been raised too high, completely unable to get used to the inferior goods circulating in the market today.
Just looking at them made his obsessive-compulsive disorder flare up.
But in reality, more than 80% or 90% of the ordinary alchemical creations circulating in the market today are this kind of stuff.
There are too few qualified artisans, but there is too much demand.
Formal alchemical artisans can already take orders independently and provide one-on-one customized services for masters, so there is no need to set up a stall. The various standard equipment produced in batches by large workshops cannot even meet the demand gap of various large organizations.
So much so that the vast majority of what ordinary people get their hands on by spending money are goods used by apprentices to practice.
The only advantage is that they can be used, and that's enough, because apart from being usable, they are not good in terms of durability, stability, and safety, and there are very few high-level creations containing blessings. Either there are more back doors than front doors, the consumption is higher than burning spiritual quality directly, or the consequences of use are traps that are more pit-like than jumping off a building.
No wonder Chen Xingzhou was speechless when he heard Ji Jue say that being an artisan was simple.
In fact, most people who heard such arrogant words would have given him face if they didn't laugh out loud on the spot and say "Young man, don't be too ambitious."
From the entry of an apprentice to becoming a qualified artisan, under the condition of the teacher's all-out cultivation and support and his own outstanding talent, the average time required is seven to nine years.
This is still in a state of rolling and rolling, a little slack, or slightly inferior talent, and the teacher's teaching is not attentive, and there are many people who take ten or twenty years. Every year they sign up and every year they take the exam, and every year they take the exam until they collapse, and there are not a few people who are sent to mental hospitals in the end.
The Longmen is hard to pass, and the Longmen is the same everywhere.
Even if Ji Jue's practical operation is infinitely close to full marks by relying on the absorption of Mechanical Descent, the lack of theory still cannot be made up by opening a hang.
He has only learned less than half of the sixteen types of vessels that formal artisans must master, and the engraving of multiple Supreme Goodness emblems and advanced composite circuits are only just getting started, not to mention the experience in the creation of blessed creations is also minimal.
There are too many experience bars to brush.
But there are many lice and they don't itch; how long has it been since he started alchemy?
Ji Jue is not worried at all.
After the morning work was solved, he looked at his watch, it was just past eleven, and his mood became more relaxed, humming a song after washing his face and heading to the living room.
Just out of the elevator, he bumped into Ye Chun.
Sleeping in until now, Ye Chun was still yawning and hesitating whether to go back and lie down for a while, but after seeing Ji Jue, her face changed suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.
Immediately after, her shoulder was pressed.
Then, she saw a smiling face poking out from her shoulder, grinning, surprised and smiling: "Eh, how did you know I got the Badge of Goodness from the church?"
Here it comes, here it comes, it's starting again!
Ye Chun couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, who the hell asked you!
Since this dog thing came back from leave a few days ago, it hasn't stopped at all! Wearing the Badge of Goodness on his collar, wiping it whenever he sees someone, and sighing and sighing whenever he has time sitting opposite Ye Chun, sighing about how hard it is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, how hard it is to seek welfare for the poor people of Yacheng, but thinking of the smiles on everyone's faces makes everything worth it, hehehe… don't you think so, Senior Sister?
It made Ye Chun have nightmares about a rolling dog showing off his badge and hehe-ing non-stop.
It's simply mental pollution!
"Hey, I haven't told the story of Ji the Great Philanthropist for ten minutes." Ji Jue was beaming: "Do you know why the great man Ji Jue doesn't hide the past of being watered by Senior Sister as the second author of the paper?"
Immediately after, without waiting for Ye Chun to answer, he slapped his knee and said solemnly:
"Because, he is good!"
You are good at a ghost!
Ji Jue, you rolling dog, you secretly wrote a paper to roll me even on vacation, your conscience wouldn't be able to do such a human-like thing if you had even a little bit!
"Okay, okay, that's enough, that's enough."
Ye Chun's eyes twitched, raising her hands to surrender: "Many big shots are already inferior to you, Ji Jue, don't show off anymore."
Ji Jue's expression was suddenly painful, sighing and sighing, as if his heart was hurt: "Hey, isn't this sharing joy? Why is Senior Sister so cold?!"
But before he finished speaking, he turned proud: "Speaking of which, do you want to touch my badge?"
"…"
Ye Chun gritted her teeth, her forehead, blue veins bulging.
Her knuckles rubbed, making a crackling sound.
Finally, unbearable!
I can endure heaven and earth, but I can't endure you, dog thing!
She turned back, sighed, and looked at her aunt in the main seat of the living room. Professor Ye was reading the newspaper, with no reaction, and didn't seem to have any intention of stopping her, so she nodded, from her twitching smile, squeezed out a voice from her teeth: "Okay, share joy, right?"
Saying this, without waiting for Ji Jue to react, she signaled Ji Jue to wait, then turned and walked to the cabinet, took out a box from below, opened it, didn't know how many things were in it, how much space there was, actually half of her body was probed in, after a search, took out a box.
Slapped it on the table in front of Ji Jue.
"Are you talking about this?"
The moment the box opened, Ji Jue almost felt his eyes dazzled… that was a badge almost exactly the same as the one on his chest, even, the gold edge on it was one more than his!
The engraving of the Chongguang Sect could not be faked at all.
After his trembling little hands finally turned the badge over, he saw the name marked in both Federation and Imperial languages—【Ye Chun】!
"Ah this…"
Ji Jue's eyes went dark, dumbfounded.
Looking at Ye Chun who was sitting with her legs crossed and sneering, he couldn't help but gasp several times, wanting to speak but stopping.
Such a low-key style, such a sharp counterattack, and this familiar plot… is this the legendary pig eating the tiger?
What? The cool protagonist is not himself?!
No, it's broken… he has become a supporting role who was slapped in the face in the routine!
You are the Dragon King?!
"What's wrong?"
Ye Chun pinned the badge on her chest, crossed her legs, like looking down from the peak, descending a boundless shadow: "Do you want to touch my badge?"
Like a god or Buddha, solemn and solemn, looking down at the monkey in front of her.
"Evil obstacle, since you see the future, why don't you worship?!"
Dead silence.
In the long dead silence, Ji Jue wanted to speak but stopped several times, until the end, he stiffly moved his gaze away: "That, let's talk about the blessing I just got…"
"No, let's talk about the Badge of Goodness!"
Ye Chun raised her voice, "I haven't heard anyone tell the story of Ji the Great Philanthropist for ten minutes, I really want to relive the classic, come, tell me, how did Ji the Great Philanthropist painstakingly persuade people to turn over a new leaf, and how did Chen Xingzhou turn back to the shore and shed tears in the mourning hall."
"Let's talk about the blessing." Ji Jue ate the shriveled, humbly begging.
"Badge!"
Ye Chun snorted, suddenly, crooked her mouth and smiled, "Do you know why the great man Ye Chun doesn't blow the dog head of the stupid rolling dog junior?"
"…I'll go cook."
Ji Jue lowered his dog head, obediently got up, didn't dare to make trouble again, retreated all the way to the door, and then dared to turn and disappear into the kitchen.
"Light taste recently, fry four dishes and a soup, less oil and salt. After cooking, mop the floor, clean up the kitchen, and then wash the fruit for me, remember to peel it."
Ye Chun ordered: "Be quick, the Tide Sound Workshop doesn't raise idlers."
Hearing the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, she couldn't help but sneer, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, triumphant: "Hmph, can't cure you?"
Little Ji Jue, easily handled!
Next time I water the paper, the second author will still bring you!
And in the main seat of the living room, the sound of newspaper turning came.
"Put it away after showing off." Professor Ye ordered indifferently: "It's been dragged for several days, remember to hand in the revised evidence today."
Thus, the familiar wailing sound came again.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Behind the newspaper, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
This life is getting more and more interesting.
After a busy work, five dishes and one soup were finally served on the table—seeing that there were still vegetables in the refrigerator, Ji Jue casually mixed a bitter melon.
Although the level cannot be called outstanding, after helping Lu Ma in the kitchen for so many years, he finally learned something, at least the things made are not unpalatable.
Although Ye Chun, who was pulled back a game, picked and chose for a long time, at least she didn't lose human rights and could still eat at the table.
"Because Senior Sister, she is good, you know?"
Ye Chun unceremoniously clamped the largest piece of sausage into her bowl, enjoying the results of the battle.
Even the lines for criticizing the knife work when eating fruit in the afternoon were thought out by her. It was not easy to gain the upper hand. In these days, the shriveled ones eaten, shouldn't they be fiercely retaliated?
As for the high-end question of when will the retribution end, it was never in her consideration.
The strong are meant to fiercely insult the weak!
And when Ji Jue was busy in the kitchen after eating, the electronic alarm clock in the living room made a beep sound, immediately causing Ji Jue to poke his head out, wiping his hands with joy, and stepping forward to check the time.
"How long?" Professor Ye asked.
"Seventeen hours and forty-one minutes."
Ji Jue was beaming: "It has broken the previous record."
Before the timing started, Ji Jue had applied Mechanical Descent to the alarm clock with minimal output, and the only instruction given was to stop timing and make a reminder before the effect ended.
As a result, his current minimal Mechanical Descent maintenance time reached nearly eighteen hours!
If more spiritual quality was injected, although the time improvement would not be more obvious, at least it could be maintained for about twenty hours.
And in his feeling, this was still not the limit.
If he practiced more, it wouldn't be a problem to maintain the time for twenty-four hours.
That is to say, as long as it is released once, it can maintain the effect of Mechanical Descent for a whole day. And after twenty-four hours, as long as you add one before the effect ends, you can maintain it for another day.
Now he can maintain the normalized control of multiple targets without any effort. Considering the recovery speed of spiritual quality and his own burden capacity, without affecting fine operation and maintaining the ability to respond to encounter battles, Ji Jue can now maintain the effect on five targets at any time.
In Yacheng, these are five fully loaded trucks sufficient to create advantages in any battle. Even considering the power reserve of the drone to leave room for charging, they are five eyes that can remain vigilant at any time.
Or…
Ji Jue had already begun to consider how to ruthlessly do a vote and bring the grenade launcher babies home from the warehouse of the Yacheng garrison base.
He calculated that as long as there were two, they could cover the entire Beishan area plus more than half of the South Foothills.
Imagine, as long as he is in the Beishan area, he can call for fire support at any time… the life is simply too beautiful, the safety is directly full, right?
Unfortunately, after this safety is full, Ji Jue is not safe at all.
Not to mention whether the Viceroy can sleep after having two grenade launchers aiming at important locations in Yacheng at any time, the Haizhou military could directly strike with an iron fist and hammer Ji Jue into mud.
The ideal is too beautiful, the reality is too cruel.
He sighed faintly, and finally pulled a leg back from the edge of crime.
As for the other leg, let it stay there, at least it's a thought, right?
"It seems you have gained a lot this time."
Professor Ye shook her head and sighed—she finally understood, a travel toad like Ji Jue who is a demolition version will only be annoying if kept at home, and can only touch good things after being let out.
Last time he went out to a Rift Realm, he directly touched back the long-lost Non-Attack Matrix and complete Fluid Alchemy.
This time, just by asking for a week's leave, he brought back a crucial blessing.
The maintenance time of Mechanical Descent has directly doubled!
This dog luck is no longer describable as bad or bizarre, it is purely evil.
In the Record of All Things compiled by the Aether, most of the abilities of the Ember lineage are changes to the nature of matter.
The dissociation of matter, the guidance and transformation of spiritual quality, the catalysis of reactions—even the name alchemy was created by Chosen who could transform stones into metals.
Abilities like Mechanical Descent are uniformly classified as control types. And the vast majority of control-type abilities are inherently closer to Tian Tian Yuan, Ascension, or Heart Pivot, and very few are invested in Ember.
Among control-type abilities, if further subdivided, they include command types, manipulation types, and autonomous types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the command type is to directly issue commands to the controlled object—push the machine gun forward fifty meters, say fifty meters, not more, not less.
The advantage is saving blue, saving spiritual quality, on the premise that the object has its own power, such commands can be issued dozens or hundreds of times without fatigue, the disadvantage is that it is too rigid and loses flexibility, if there is a wall on this fifty-meter road, it will be directly blind, and before the command changes, the controlled object will follow the planned path like an NPC in a game and keep hitting the wall.
The manipulation type is self-explanatory, that is, replacing the object's own will and preset commands, just like controlling a game character, directly hand-operating. Bypass walls when encountering walls, bypass ditches when encountering ditches, fine-tune until you are satisfied, and there will be no problems like artificial intelligence. The disadvantage is that it occupies energy, the operation is too complex, and it is difficult to control multiple objects to achieve complex collaboration at the same time.
And the autonomous type like Mechanical Descent is the most complex and spiritual-quality-consuming type, the operation effect may not be as good as the first two, and even facing some objects, the mandatory force is insufficient.
But the advantage is that the adaptability is extremely strong, and it is the most worry-free—Ji Jue only needs to give orders, how to do it is what the controlled object needs to consider.
And these three types may not be clearly defined, sometimes, even overlapping, just like the effect of Mechanical Descent, when necessary, Ji Jue can completely replace the object itself and operate it directly. But the thinking ability and autonomy given by Mechanical Descent are too strong, and in most cases, there is no need at all.
In this situation, lack of blue has become Ji Jue's most fatal defect. Once the tool is damaged too quickly and dragged into a long-line battle, within five minutes, he will directly run out of spiritual quality and be completely scrapped.
The arrival of the Ascension blessing has made up for this short board to a certain extent.
Directly doubling the effect time of Mechanical Descent has disguisedly saved the spiritual quality consumed by repeatedly applying the ability, and at the same time, further improved Ji Jue's spiritual quality upper limit and spiritual quality recovery speed.
Even in the Ascension lineage, such a precious blessing is rare.
