Chapter 67: First-Rank Craftsman

Upon seeing the information on the panel, a sense of shock appeared in Li Ang's heart that he couldn't suppress; he hadn't expected that those special species of insects from before were actually evolved by the Zerg swarm according to a dragon template.

'Are there dragons on this planet?'

But Li Ang had never heard any relevant news.

Suddenly, a thought that seemed incredible flashed through his mind.

'Could this Garos be a dragon?'

The "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy" produced locally on Colony 9527, combined with the fact that [Garos Scale] required dragon scales as raw material...

Li Ang felt that this hypothesis was quite plausible.

However, now was not the time to think about such questions; he pondered slightly and said: "This should be a Zerg carapace."

Hearing this, the examiner couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

'As expected, it's still a bit difficult for a non-professional to identify the last material. I'll have to tell the association to change the material later.'

Thinking this to himself, he said aloud:

"Not bad. Although it's not complete, I'll count you as having passed the raw material identification stage. Next, as long as you complete one transmutation, you will be a First-Rank Craftsman of the association."

"You can use the materials on-site. If you are not satisfied, you can also use materials you brought yourself."

After saying this, he waited quietly for Li Ang to complete the final assessment.

Hearing this, Li Ang suppressed the words at the tip of his throat.

His original plan was that if he didn't pass the first answer, he would state the information fed back by [Basic Construction].

Since he had passed, there was naturally no need to do something redundant.

However, through what had just happened, one could see that there was indeed a huge gap between Craftsman-class professionals and non-Craftsman-class professionals in the task of raw material identification alone.

Not to mention the other skills and specialties brought by the subsequent Craftsman-class profession.

Calming his mood, Li Ang began to recall the specific transmutation process of [Garos Scale].

First, it required a dragon scale, and second, two hundred kilograms of any metal.

He didn't have a dragon scale, but that piece of Zerg carapace should be able to serve as a substitute; as for metal, there was plenty of it here.

As for the transmutation array...

[Garos Scale] used the most basic transmutation array; after all, as an alchemical item in the "Detailed Introduction to Alchemy," it naturally couldn't be too difficult.

Soon, with the help of [Calm Mind] and [Flexible Hands], Li Ang drew a transmutation array on the ground.

Of course, this was also thanks to him frequently drawing magic arrays on bullets over the past few days.

When the examiner saw the perfect transmutation array on the ground, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

'The foundation is quite solid, but it's a pity he isn't a Craftsman-class professional.'

However, after seeing the next scene, the official craftsman of the association couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye, and then he thought silently to himself:

'As expected of a non-[Craftsman] class professional...'

At this moment, in his eyes, Li Ang was moving heavy metal to the center of the transmutation array without changing his expression; an ordinary [Craftsman] class professional wouldn't be able to do that.

Soon, two hundred kilograms of metal ore and that piece of Zerg carapace were placed in the center of the transmutation array.

As Li Ang squatted down and pressed his hands against the edge of the transmutation array, a red light suddenly lit up in the room.

Immediately after, not long later, the materials in the center of the transmutation array turned into residue, and in their place was a piece of close-fitting soft armor shimmering with a pitch-black luster.

Seeing this, Li Ang let out a long breath.

This was his first real alchemical operation; fortunately, he had the experience of drawing magic arrays earlier, and there were no mistakes during the process.

[Successfully crafted an alchemical item, career experience +67].

[Current career level: Craftsman Apprentice (Alchemy) lv3 (23/300)].

At this time, the examiner walked to the center of the transmutation array, bent down, picked up the soft armor on the ground, and began to observe it carefully.

After a long while, a smile appeared on his face: "Although the metal wasn't smelted and the material selection wasn't great, it can barely be called a qualified alchemical item."

"Congratulations on passing the assessment. From now on, you are a First-Rank Craftsman of the association."

As he spoke, he handed the [Garos Scale] (Youth Version) in his hand to Li Ang.

Seeing this, Li Ang raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit curious: "Is the association not keeping it?"

"The association isn't that stingy." The examiner laughed dumbly. "My name is Lin Li. Like you, I am a First-Rank Craftsman of the Alchemy School. Follow me; I'll take you to collect the items issued by the association."

After saying this, he walked out of the room, and Li Ang hurriedly followed.

Just like that, the two of them went one after the other to the second floor of the association.

The items issued by the association were simple: a specially made communication wristband and a First-Rank Craftsman identification certificate.

Seeing that his task was completed, Lin Li said: "Alright, I'll be going now. Make yourself at home."

Then, before Li Ang could react, he turned and left.

'This efficiency is too high...'

Before coming to the Craftsman Association, Li Ang thought it would take at least half a day; he didn't expect the assessment to be completed in less than half a day.

He shook his head, didn't linger, and immediately returned home.

Sitting on the simple sofa, Li Ang began to study the communication wristband issued by the association, and soon he discovered the built-in communication platform.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I couldn't search for the Federal Craftsman Association's communication platform on the internet before."

Since he had already registered his information at the Craftsman Association, Li Ang only needed to enter a nickname to enter the platform and browse information.

He pondered for a moment and then entered two characters.

[Truth].

[I am very sorry, the current name is unavailable. Please enter it again].

"Tsk."

Seeing that the nickname didn't pass, Li Ang touched his chin and continued to think.

After a while, his eyes lit up, and he entered a name again.

[King of Bronze and Fire].

[Welcome, King of Bronze and Fire #66666].

"If duplicate names are allowed, why wouldn't you let me use [Truth]?"

Li Ang got angry for a moment.

He entered the platform with dissatisfaction, and immediately, dense posts appeared before his eyes.

[On why the Mechanic is God...]
