echoed continuously in the workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan stood in front of the spacious workbench, focused as he used the Mage’s Hand to manipulate the silver needle, engraving enchanted patterns on the surface of the golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, as the last stroke of the pattern fell, the entire golem body instantly gained a lively aura of magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completed another one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan smiled with satisfaction and placed a miniature soul crystal into the groove on the golem’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the groove closed, the enchanted patterns on the steel golem on the workbench flashed with light one after another, and the steel golem immediately ’came to life’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Sunan’s command, the steel golem jumped down from the workbench and walked to the end of the line in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it, stood six identical steel golems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the second forest cabin meeting ended, Sunan immediately began crafting new steel golems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of six miniature soul crystals were all refined into soul cores, and the final result was six steel golems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To strengthen the combat power of the steel golems as much as possible, the iron used for refining was synthesized and strengthened in advance, improving the quality of the materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final refined steel golem already reached the upper-level standard of Tier One Legendary Knight, stronger than the first steel golem refined previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cost, however, increased by nearly half, soaring to over fifteen hundred gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Sunan earns approximately twenty-two thousand gold coins annually just by selling potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the cost of these six steel golems is nearly equivalent to forty percent of the annual potion income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is just the nominal cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, because the cost of purchasing miniature soul crystals is ridiculously low, the actual cost is not that exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six steel golems, a bit short for dealing with the Hundred-armed Monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hundred-armed Monster is the name Sunan gave to the creature in the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary purpose for crafting six steel golems is to deal with the Hundred-armed Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old steel golem must be kept at the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, considering the combat power of the Hundred-armed Monster, six steel golems are still slightly insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least ten are needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With enough tanks blocking in front, Sunan can safely output from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, he quickly came up with an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of steel golems is insufficient, then use stone golems to make up for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, ordinary stone golems won’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no point in having a front line that cannot withstand even one strike from the Hundred-armed Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stronger stone golem must be synthesized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, there are over twenty stone golems in the magic cube, which Sunan directly took out and placed into the cube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Elite Stone Golem (Puppet\u002FSenior Grand Knight Level), a puppet creation made of granite, immensely powerful, indestructible, and can automatically recover from injuries by consuming energy.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only twenty-five stone golems can be synthesized into a Senior Grand Knight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan slightly frowned, then quickly relaxed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the initial combat power of stone golems is only Junior Knight level, the starting point is too low, so a high synthesis quantity requirement is normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan simply drew over a dozen stone golems from the patrol squad and continued placing them into the magic cube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the synthesis quantity increased to forty-two, the combat power of the elite stone golem finally broke through to Tier One Legendary Knight level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cost of one stone golem is about forty-three gold coins, forty-two are nearly nineteen hundred gold coins, costing about three hundred more than the steel golem, yet the combat power is a bit behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elite stone golem at most only has the lower-tier strength level of Tier One Legendary Knight, not as strong as the newly refined steel golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after thinking for a while, Sunan decided to synthesize stone golems nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the scarcity of soul crystals, gemstones are comparatively easier to acquire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the means to synthesize a Tier One Legendary Knight level of combat power is already quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Synthesizing four elite stone golems requires one hundred and sixty-eight stone golems, still short by a hundred and forty-three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, a large number of gemstones were obtained from the forest cabin, the materials are sufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completing everything will take roughly twenty days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan estimated the time and, if smoothly, should be able to complete them before winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting the stone golems from the patrol squad back, Sunan left the puppet factory and headed towards the magic training area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next step is to practice magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has now mastered three Tier Two spells: [Elemental Protection], [Levitation Magic], and [Mirror Image Skill].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the upcoming encounter with the Hundred-armed Monster, Sunan chose [Shattering Sonic Wave] as the fourth Tier Two magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shattering Sonic Wave] is a realm-wide damage spell that can emit a high-speed vibrating sound wave causing crushing damage to all life or non-life forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spell is somewhat similar to Banshee’s howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the damage can’t compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banshee’s howl can even cause soul-level damage, whereas Shattering Sonic Wave is only effective on a physical level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, [Shattering Sonic Wave] can be finely controlled to perform precise strikes on targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Banshee’s howl, its lethal effect does not distinguish between friend and foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the enhancement of spiritual power and switching to third-tier upper-grade transcendent potion, Sunan’s speed in learning magic has increased somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, mastering one Tier Two magic takes only about forty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The learning progress of [Shattering Sonic Wave] is already more than halfway, and Sunan estimates after the stone golems are refined, [Shattering Sonic Wave] should be almost mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing magic, Sunan came to the study room, casually took a book from the bookshelf and started flipping through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the forest cabin, he gradually acquired over a hundred wizard’s scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, he spent two to three hours a day on reading.\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","e98c5169c759f424b15e8cb2e0b4068e3d86326ed81b63542e7844ce015e9f11","synthetic-wizard-chapter-118","synthetic-wizard-chapter-116",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
