After a glance at the class change information for the next stage of 【Puppeteer】, Li Ang closed the panel, then took out the ninja corpses he had previously collected in the Naruto world from his spatial ring.

'A puppet meant for a vegetable wouldn't need to worry about operation issues, but for me, using chakra threads to control it is still too troublesome.'

'But if I incorporate the corpse-wight crafting technique when making the human puppet, some unexpected changes should occur.'

Li Ang has already had his Yingfenshen study Sasori's complete set of notes for a long time, so in terms of theory he could already be said to have maxed it out.

What remained now was the practical work.

Looking at the corpse laid out on the workbench, Li Ang let out a light breath, then formed hand seals to split off several shadow clones to help out.

The corpse-wight crafting system in the Dragon race was very complex, but what he needed to do now was merely extract the portion that awakened the corpse's consciousness.

After all, the biggest pain point of Sasori's puppet technique was that it required the crafter to control it.

'The materials from the Jingtie Tree clan happen to come in handy.'

Looking at the wood with a metallic sheen in his hand, Li Ang unfolded heaven and earth as a furnace to refine it into the shape of an arm, and carved the corpse-wight crafting's alchemical matrix into it.

Next, he began disassembling the ninja corpse before him.

Soon, a human puppet with a metallic sheen all over its body appeared on the workbench.

But upon seeing the puppet's tightly shut eyes, Li Ang couldn't help but fall into thought: "Why wasn't its consciousness awakened."

He had clearly followed Sasori's steps—

Wait.

Li Ang seemed to think of something, then immediately disassembled the parts from this failed puppet and installed them onto another corpse.

Only this time, he kept the weakness of the brain.

Soon, this freshly made puppet opened its eyes under Li Ang's gaze.

【Successfully crafted one human puppet, class experience +357】.

'It worked.' Seeing the scene before him, a smile first appeared on Li Ang's face, then he fell back into thought, 'But the weakness of the brain still needs to be dealt with later, and—'

Looking at the somewhat dim-witted puppet before him, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This kind of puppet definitely couldn't be sold, but fortunately this was just a prototype and could still be improved later.

Moreover, it was barely passable for guarding a home, and in terms of looks alone it was quite a bit better than a dry corpse-wight.

As for ability—

Ninja puppets could use ninjutsu, but the power was underwhelming, not as good as direct close-quarters combat.

'Speaking of which, the Chamber of Commerce employees wouldn't need this kind of living puppet; just using ordinary wood to craft them would do.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang directed two shadow clones to craft ordinary puppets off to the side, while he himself continued researching puppet techniques.

……

Three days passed just like that.

At Morabis Star Port, a starship formation composed of six combat-type vessels slowly docked within it, and shortly after, an androgynous humanoid creature descended from the main ship.

However, when it saw the empty star port, a shadow inevitably flashed through its eyes.

'Damn, looks like that little dragon whelp is going to be tough to deal with—'

With this thought, the humanoid creature boarded a space elevator with a dozen or so subordinates.

Soon, a massive stone sphere split in two came into their view.

But the humanoid creature had no mood to pay attention to these things now, because even at this point the planet's Viceroy, who should have shown up, was still nowhere to be seen.

What greeted them was a puppet.

The humanoid creature pursed its lips in displeasure, but said nothing more, merely silently following behind the puppet.

"Tch, tough to deal with."

Went out on a blind date during the day, still have two chapters at night.

This time Niumo's blind date liked murder mystery games, and also liked camping (with men), which scared the author off right away, wasting most of the day.
