Chapter 244: Test Explosion

Seeing the target rock explode.

Rod made no further comment and immediately began comparing it with the original factory-made Ban De Mo Fa ring.

After all, he had never intended to produce something on par with the genuine article.

After all, with only one Selena, the quality and quality control of a complete national machine like the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom were incomparable.

The explosion startled the Land Naga in the Death Desert.

Not daring to delay, the female priest who served as their leader brought only one guard and hurried over to pay a visit.

The Land Naga were, as always, the kind who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The power in the forest had already been displayed in full; this female priest dared not offend in the slightest.

She carried a package of shed Naga snake skins and teeth as a gift.

Although she did not know what use they were.

Rod still took them and nodded.

He only explained that they were practicing new spells there.

This female priest, named Shaya, breathed a sigh of relief:

"My apologies, my lord Rod. We have experienced too many setbacks here and have become overly timid; please forgive us."

Rod shook his head, having no intention of talking much with her.

This female priest's upper body figure was just as fiery as Eve's, but she wore leather armor that wrapped her up very tightly.

Seeing his casual attitude and that he had no intention of speaking, the female priest Shaya could only bitterly bow and retreat backward.

Halfway there, she turned back and bowed to Rod once more.

"My lord Rod, it was only because you saved me on the night of the banquet that I kept my life; thank you once again."

Having said that, she straightened her back and left with the same arrogance as when she first arrived at Shi Ying Town.

Rod simply did not pay much attention to it.

After all, his impression of this female priest was just so-so.

Zombie Selena: "Please continue the experiment, my master; there is no experimental data for the magic ring on her buttocks."

"Nonsense! Where did I look!"

But it had to be said that although the Naga's lower body was a snake body, there was still a slight curve of the buttocks at the crotch position.

Quite tempting.

It made him miss the feeling of the Land Naga Eve a bit.

After the interlude.

The test explosion process was very fast.

It ended in less than half an hour.

Selena wrote and drew in her notebook.

After a while, she frowned and said:

"The power of the overloaded ring is only 60% to 75% of the normal factory-made version, and the mana it draws is also slightly more than the original. Although ordinary magic rings consume about the same amount of mana, their power and effects will produce overflow phenomena during the spiritual conduction process, leading to the possibility of duds and reduced power."

She shook her head, somewhat dissatisfied with her own craftsmanship.

At the same time, a trace of shame arose in her heart; how could she dare to present such quality as the first batch of experimental products?

It was just that this trace of shame, under the effect of the emotion-blocking spell, did not actually reach her heart.

"Not bad."

Rod smiled.

Examining this remaining dud magic ring in his hand.

Its appearance was not much different from the factory-made magic rings of the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom, yet it was precisely enough to make anyone think of the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom at first sight.

"It differs too much from the original version."

"You are mistaken on one point, Selena."

Looking at the depressed zombie girl, Rod rested his elbow on top of her head.

"Our magic rings are not meant to be compared with the high-quality factory goods of the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom, but rather are mid-range products that are one level lower, with more favorable prices and slightly inferior quality."

"Ah?"

"Our goal is still to make money, Selena. The prices of magic rings on the market are extremely high, especially now that the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom and Aethelorn are in conflict and have reduced exports; this is precisely the time for us little guys to step up."

"But, regarding quality..."

"Is there a risk of self-explosion? Will it hurt the user?"

"No. The notebook you brought back has a detailed description of the fuse mechanism. I believe our rings are as safe as the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom's rings; it is just that the sealing of the mana circuits might have problems, which will lead to duds."

Hearing that there would be no self-explosion, Rod became even happier.

Duds?

What kind of problem are duds?

As long as you don't blow people up, bring back the ring with the dud, and I'll guarantee an exchange!

Hmm... not necessarily; let's ask about the cost and output first.

Selena thought for a while:

"If I work without sleep, I can probably produce around 180 magic rings in thirty days."

"Do you think I am some kind of slave master? Calculate the rest time for me..."

A slight warmth arose in her heart.

But in reality, Rod was afraid that her lack of rest would lead to insufficient quality in the output.

"Then 150 rings per month. As for the cost, each ring is about 15 to 20 Jin Along; this craft is mainly troublesome in terms of labor."

The cost is 15 to 20 Jin Along.

【Firebrand Technique】: A fifth-tier spell; the genuine version sells for 540 Jin Along.

Damn, huge profits!

Of course, this does not account for labor costs, taxes, maintenance fees, transportation fees, and so on.

Don't think that the other world doesn't require taxes!

Rod waved his hand: "Pay me 100 Jin Along a month, and I'll give you a commission based on quantity. I have other matters for you to research; I can't let you focus entirely on this."

100 Jin Along a month is a very small amount.

But this is the advantage of a small workshop: it can produce in small batches, leaving room for trial and error.

There's no rush to increase production capacity until sales are smooth.

"Also, you must be careful with technical secrecy. Our industrial structure isn't as comprehensive as the Heavenly Court's Flower Kingdom. Ultimately, we are copying and pirating, but we can't let others copy us!"

The Tree Spirit, who was holding his arm for warmth, was drowsy and nearly asleep.

Hearing the loud voice, she opened her large eyes, which shimmered with Bai Guang.

Rod pinched her tender, smooth cheek and smiled:

"Once our industry is running smoothly, we'll plant trees across the entire Death Desert and give them all to you."

Vivian indicated she didn't understand his bragging; she rested her small head against his chest, smelling his scent, and felt very calm.

"By the way, Lady Kali said you traded something with her? Why didn't you come to me?"

Rod suddenly remembered this matter.

Last night, he got carried away; as soon as Vivian entered the room, he pulled her onto the bed.

Vivian blinked her large eyes and gently nuzzled her head against his chest.

"Tree Spirit, same kind, call, return."

Having spent a long time with her, Rod could easily understand her meaning.

Even if he didn't quite understand, repeating it a few times would eventually make it clear.

In short, the general meaning was: "A fellow Tree Spirit communicated with her via 【Descent of the Tree Realm】 and hoped Vivian would return to her birthplace."

As for why, it was most likely to deal with some kind of crisis.

After all, all sorts of new dangers have appeared across the continent now.

Vivian, of course, was unwilling to return; she had no affection for her birthplace. Not just her, but this call from the Tree Spirits was most likely to fail, as few Tree Spirits would be willing to leave their existing forests.

The reason she sought Lady Kali was to request her help in using a spell to refuse that invitation.

"What's there to hide about this? That fellow Lady Kali is too serious and rigid."

True, elves are naturally like that.

"And also."

Vivian spoke again, pointing to her lower abdomen.

"Water, sprayed, stained the mattress. Vivian, afraid, Rod, hate... So, learn, cleaning spell."

Rod paused for a moment.

Vivian's moisture was indeed of the relatively abundant type.

He then laughed loudly and held her tightly in his arms.

"What's so bad about this? I like that about you. I love Vivian the most, and I will never hate you."
