Sometimes, it can be thought of in a day or two, and sometimes, it will last for weeks or months. Like Chen Cha cracking a bottleneck before, it took a full year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha raised his eyes and looked at the account book in the upper right corner of the table, his face looking even uglier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outstanding mechanical creations always require inspiration and clever conception. Chen Cha's foundation is very solid, especially good at arrays, but his inspiration is very scarce, lacking creativity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, he didn't feel it, so he borrowed money to open this mechanical workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality gave him a fierce slap, making him empty his family fortune, not to mention a pile of foreign debts. Now he is riding a tiger and can't get off; even if he sells the workshop, it's not enough to pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret is already too late. Chen Cha knows that the only way out is to design an excellent mechanical creation himself, which will explode in the market, allowing him to make a fortune, so that he can rise from the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong dong dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock on the door came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha frowned: \"What's the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice came from outside the door: \"Workshop master, someone is visiting and wants to ask for your advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha nodded: \"Lead him to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is very tight on money and eager to pay off debts. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't do this kind of consulting business, but he really has no other way, he has to get money from all aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo walked into the workshop slowly: \"The junior's surname is Ning, given name Zhuo, pays respects to Master Living Array Chen Cha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man gave an \"en,\" putting on airs, but actually looked at Ning Zhuo quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Ning Zhuo in a white robe, washed clean. A pair of eyes were calm and pure, and his face was young and tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha's gaze lingered on the jade pendant at Ning Zhuo's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the character \"Ning\" engraved on the jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning clan?\" A flash of light appeared in Chen Cha's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Persimmon Immortal City has four major forces, the first is the City Lord's Mansion, and the current city lord is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Then there are the Array Zhou family, the Weapon Zheng family, and the Talisman Ning family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly happy in his heart: \"Coming from a big family, the youth in front of me might have a lot of wealth. This business might be able to be done big, point out more places that are not good later, so that he can ask more questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the contract, Chen Cha invited Ning Zhuo to sit down. The contract bound both parties and required strict confidentiality regarding the questions and answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha drank a cup of bitter tea, his face calm, and asked Ning Zhuo about the specific content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo said that he designed a mechanical creation and encountered design difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha laughed in his heart immediately, thinking: \"You are in the same situation as me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't take it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mechanical cultivator and workshop master, and selling knowledge, he had encountered many examples like Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young people always think they are extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mechanical creations designed are unbearable to look at and miserable to look at! Some are even self-contradictory in the machine body, and once magic power is input, they collapse first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just Chen Cha's thought, on the surface, he nodded slightly, signaling Ning Zhuo to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo said: \"Every year during the Fire Persimmon Festival, there are casualties, so I want to design a mechanical creation to let it pick fire persimmons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I named it Fire Explosion Monkey, and I have already designed it, just missing the last hurdle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha was already impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Chen Cha waved his hand, \"Bring it to me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took out the mechanical monkey from the storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha was slightly stunned and couldn't help but make an \"eh\" sound in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey's monkey hair was all bright red, exquisite and gorgeous; the first appearance firmly attracted Chen Cha's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possesses divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait to release his divine sense to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his eyebrows almost jumped up high, but fortunately, he suppressed it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mechanical monkey is not simple!\" Although his design ability was insufficient, his vision was enough, and he immediately saw many extraordinary aspects of the Fire Explosion Monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha reached out to stroke the monkey's fur; it felt smooth and comfortable, and he praised in his heart: \"Sewn tightly, like one piece. Many runes were drawn on the lining of the fur to increase the toughness of the fur. It is made neatly, the layout is rigorous, comparable to an old tailor of many years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to pick faults, but couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to evaluate lightly: \"This basic skill of sewing fur is considered passable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded, very agreeing: \"Hmm! I followed the traditional method of spiritual embroidery. I used the skin of the fire velvet mouse; the mouse skin is small, the raw materials are too fragmented, so I had to use too many silk threads to sew. This indeed has many flaws, and the fire resistance at the seams is greatly reduced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? You did it?\" Chen Cha raised his eyes and looked at Ning Zhuo, feeling surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Designing a mechanism does not mean making a mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo is young, and at such an age, he has such good craftsmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, his strength is here.\" Chen Cha thought while continuing to scan with his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the skeleton of the mechanical monkey, his heart moved: \"Is it Sky Gold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sky Gold is light, tough, and has certain spatial performance. Using it for the skeleton material, is it to have storage function?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough.\" Chen Cha thought. He saw the array patterns on the skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a storage array. It is laid out quite appropriately, making full use of the skeleton and trying to compress the range occupied by the array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to compress the array to this extent, the ability to arrange arrays is not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After doing this, this mechanical monkey still has room for upgrades. The maker has a big picture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha praised in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Ning Zhuo again, and then immediately fixed his gaze on the mechanical monkey on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this point of the skeleton, there was nothing to criticize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha thought for a while and said: \"Regarding the selection of Sky Gold, it is considered following the book, without any highlights. The array has been adjusted slightly. This kind of adjustment is based on the foundation of predecessors and is not worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha was prepared, waiting for Ning Zhuo's unconvinced rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ning Zhuo nodded, deeply agreeing: \"Actually, my first choice was the Hollow Snail. Using snail powder, combined with a small amount of iron essence, the two are mixed and melted, pressed and condensed to shape the skeleton, and the storage capacity is far beyond Sky Gold. It's just that this kind of Hollow Snail is very rare in Fire Persimmon Immortal City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>oC〇\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha was stunned for a moment, thinking: \"So, he also knows this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hollow Snail combined with iron essence is indeed better and can cooperate better with fire velvet mouse skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha coughed twice, looked at Ning Zhuo deeply, his tone flat: \"You know it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head and continued to scan with his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the muscles of the mechanical monkey, guessing in his heart: \"Are these muscles made of oil smoke mud, further accumulating fire resistance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it seems to be... it should be a new material refined with alchemy based on oil smoke mud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... I'm afraid it's an original creation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this also made by the youth in front of me? What was his name again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha couldn't help but feel suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo is too young, yet he has such alchemy attainments?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is necessary to know that being able to create a pill formula, even if it is not a whole pill, being able to create this brand-new material is quite rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha suppressed his doubts and continued to observe, sighing in his heart: \"Not to mention this material, the shaping skill of the monkey body is really good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just this skill of shaping materials, the maker is enough to serve as a second hammer in the refining workshop. Even for the creation of some small magic tools, it is not impossible to serve as the main hammer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Cha couldn't help but feel a bit irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mechanical monkey is quite perfect, making Chen Cha want to find flaws, but he can't find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't find flaws, how could he make this business big?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many, many people have asked for his advice, and many people have paid far more spirit stones than planned. These are all because Chen Cha pointed out more of their flaws, thereby guiding them to ask more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people, apart from complaining that the fees were expensive, didn't have any other complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Chen Cha's guidance was indeed correct and effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha gritted his teeth secretly and continued to look down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread out the monkey's palm, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a \"tsk\" sound, praising in his heart: \"This palm is designed exquisitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These micro-arrays are nested with each other, making the monkey's palm movements sensitive and vivid, and can make quite complex finger movements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way of combining arrays is quite novel, not a common combination, the array arranger is talented!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this also done by Ning Zhuo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this guy? A genius cultivator of the Ning clan? Why haven't I heard of him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha tried to keep calm until he scanned the monkey's brain shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he finally couldn't cover it up and revealed a look of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that the magic tools arranged in the brain shell were actually three wandering bullets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wandering bullets are originally a kind of attack magic tool, which can be remote-controlled to change the flight direction. But now they have been modified to fly around in the monkey's brain shell, acting as a receiver for divine sense. This is the first time I've seen it, unheard of!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and the many runes carved in the monkey brain to cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a quite excellent original creation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha calculated slightly and knew that this arrangement could succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I lack is exactly this kind of inspiration and originality, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha felt sour in his heart and couldn't help asking Ning Zhuo: \"How exactly did you think of this idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo said: \"The junior was forced to modify the wandering bullets into divine sense receivers. Because this mechanical Fire Explosion Monkey is sold to make money. If it is equipped with an array disk, the cost will be much higher. So, I adopted this design scheme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always feel that this is not the best solution; this kind of design still has undiscovered hidden dangers and unstable factors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, without an array disk, the cost of this mechanical monkey is very low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this the excellent mechanism I've been pursuing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cha looked at Ning Zhuo, suddenly a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an excellent mechanical work has no flaws at all, so why ask him for advice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This youth took it out to ask for advice, what is his intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, this genius is deliberately doing this to tease me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being angry, more doubts surged into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is such an excellent mechanical work really made by the youth in front of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I designed such a mechanical work, and I was this young, I would have raised my head and boasted everywhere long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the embodiment of one's own ability, not something ordinary people can do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this youth is a bit too humble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like he's lacking confidence, pretending to be someone else's work.\" ===== CHAPTER 12 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just like a lack of confidence, the guilty conscience of someone passing off another's work as their own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2200,"2026-06-17T22:16:29.439Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","352fc2e8fc74cb707787cd3bae8ae6c4c706220d0b7fb59eda9b07fc586dd937","immortal-craftsman-s-creation-chapter-12","immortal-craftsman-s-creation-chapter-10",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
