Chapter 152 God-Level Workshop! We're missing a battery, so this broken jade pendant will have
A disturbance caused by "crushing cucumbers" eventually subsided after Lin Fan threatened that "if you don't behave, you won't even get to eat cucumber peels anymore."
Of course, that plate of "Nebula Cucumber Salad" was devoured in an extremely brutal manner.
After the meal, the entire courtyard once again entered a strange "digestion period".
Those mercenary gardeners who looked like thugs yesterday were now lying on the lawn, groaning and moaning, their bodies shimmering with starlight, as if their internal organs were being crushed and reshaped.
The Gold Saints sat cross-legged at their posts, their cosmic flames flickering, clearly digesting the immense stellar essence.
Fang Qingxue and her three cousins went straight back to their rooms to cultivate in seclusion, fearing that the power within their bodies would cause them to burst.
In the entire courtyard, only one person stood out.
Old Wang, who has become young again.
He was so energetic that he didn't seem like a "young man" who had just gone from seventy to forty.
He felt like he had inexhaustible energy.
"Ares, God of War, you can rest. I'll clean the toilet!"
"Lord Milo, don't do it! I'll pull these weeds!"
Old Wang ran around the yard like a whirlwind, taking on all the chores he could, his face beaming with the sacred glory of labor.
Their enthusiasm was so intense that even Ares, the God of War, gripped his toilet brush tightly, feeling an unprecedented professional crisis.
Lin Fan lay on the rocking chair, watching this unprecedentedly "harmonious" scene, and took a satisfied sip of tea.
Hmm, not bad.
This new variety of cucumber not only tastes good, but also effectively improves employee work enthusiasm and the "involution" atmosphere of the team.
It seems that in the future, it can be listed as the "official designated incentive ingredient" for courtyard houses.
He leisurely flipped through the newspaper, enjoying this rare, peaceful afternoon when no one had time to bother him.
Retirement life is becoming more and more promising.
The next day, early in the morning.
As usual, Lin Fan got out of his comfortable bed.
After a night of digestion, the employees in the yard all seemed to have returned to normal.
Although the way they looked at him had become more fervent and more...incomprehensible than before.
But Lin Fan had already gotten used to it.
He yawned, walked to the center of the courtyard, and began his daily routine without fail.
"System, check-in."
[Ding! Check-in successful!]
[Detection indicates that the "Qi Yun Courtyard" has successfully fused with the power of "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" and "Star Vein Spiritual Root," significantly enhancing the courtyard's foundation and increasing its Qi Yun level by 1!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a special sign-in reward for this day: [Heavenly Craftsmanship Workshop Construction Blueprint] x1!]
"drawing?"
Lin Fan paused.
This is the first time he's gotten something like this from checking in for so long.
His mind stirred slightly.
An ancient blueprint, shimmering with a faint golden light and made of an unknown material, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
On the blueprints, a strange building full of Taoist charm and a sense of the future was outlined with mysterious lines that he could not understand but could comprehend.
It resembles a workshop, an alchemy furnace, and even has a touch of science fiction warship.
It is clearly incongruous, yet it exudes an indescribable harmony and beauty.
Lin Fan focused his mind on the blueprint.
hum!
The lines on the drawing seemed to come alive, transforming into an endless torrent of information that instantly flooded his mind.
【Tiangong Kaiwu Workshop】: Created by ancient master craftsmen, this fully automated, multi-functional workshop integrates weapon crafting, alchemy, enchanting, and analysis.
【Function 1: All Things Furnace】: It can melt, purify, and analyze any material put into it, turning it into the most primordial energy and matter.
【Function Two: Masterful Craftsmanship】: Automatically forges tools, weapons, and magical artifacts based on blueprints and materials. Quality depends on the level of the materials and blueprints.
【Function 3: Following the Way of Nature】: It can automatically cultivate, catalyze, and refine spiritual roots and immortal herbs, turning them into pills and medicinal liquids. The success rate of pill formation is 100%, and the quality is perfect.
As Lin Fan looked at the long list of introductions that appeared in his mind, a burning light finally shone in his eyes.
Fully automatic?
Weapon crafting? Alchemy?
Several more practical words instantly popped into his mind.
Fully automated wok production line?
Fully automatic tea roasting machine?
A fully automated cucumber ripening production line?
"Holy crap! This is an amazing artifact!"
Lin Fan blurted it out.
This thing is practically the ultimate perk tailor-made for retired cadres like him who are hopelessly lazy!
With this, if you want to get a new pot, drink some new tea, or eat some new dishes, you won't even have to lift a finger.
Just throw the materials in, take a picture of the blueprints, and then lie back and wait for the finished product?
This...this is the real, fully automated, heavenly retirement life!
He excitedly glanced at the construction requirements again.
[Basic Materials]: Branches of the World Tree (main beam), Starry Black Gold (furnace wall), Dark Nether Heavy Water (coolant), Nine Heavens Breath Soil (foundation).
[Core Energy]: An item containing stable, pure, and vast primordial energy, serving as the core of the workshop's operation.
Lin Fan stroked his chin and began pacing around the yard, pondering.
He walked to the sapling in the yard and gestured with his hand.
"A branch of the World Tree? Hmm, from this little tree, if we break off the thickest part later, it should be enough to make a roof beam."
He walked to the corner and kicked a dark, unremarkable metal block that had been used as a stepping stone.
"Starry Black Gold? That's what Saga brought back last time. It's quite hard; it should be durable enough to be used as a furnace wall."
He looked toward the large water vat in the center of the courtyard.
"Mysterious Dark Water? There's plenty in that vat, more than enough."
Finally, he stomped his foot on the ground.
"Nine Heavens Breath Soil? I just sowed a box of it yesterday. I should be able to dig some out from the ground and spread it evenly."
Lin Fan took a look around and realized that he seemed to have all the basic materials he needed?
All that's missing is the last one, the so-called "core energy source".
"An item containing stable, pure, and vast amounts of primordial energy..."
Lin Fan began to search his mind for the "gifts" he had received from the system's daily check-ins.
The Infinity Gauntlet (high-quality replica)? No way, it's just a plastic toy.
Godzilla's genetic sequence? This is a living creature; you can't just stuff Godzilla inside and use it as a hamster to generate electricity, can you?
He searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one.
Just as he was about to ask Fang Qingxue if her family had any other "local specialties".
His gaze inadvertently swept to a corner of the courtyard.
There was a pile of things he considered "junk" that he asked the Fang family to move, but the Fang family refused to touch them. In the end, they could only leave them there as "gifts".
That "Starfall Sword"? No, the energy is too mixed, and it even has a rusty smell.
That "Nine-Leaf Lingzhi"? No, its energy is pure, but not abundant enough. It would probably burn up as soon as it was activated.
Lin Fan's gaze swept back and forth across the pile of glittering "trash".
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to something inconspicuous.
It was an antique jade pendant that had been carelessly tossed into the corner of a jewelry box.
The jade pendant has an old-fashioned design and the jade itself looks very ordinary, grayish and without any luster.
Among that pile of glittering treasures, it was like an ugly duckling mixed in with a flock of swans.
But Lin Fan's intuition told him otherwise.
This thing is not simple.
He walked over and picked up the jade pendant from the pile of "trash".
Upon touching it, it's not cold, but rather has a strange, warm feel, as if you're holding a piece of warm time in your hands.
He tentatively probed a wisp of his spiritual energy into it.
The next second, he "saw" it.
Deep within the jade pendant, amidst a vast, primordial chaos, a golden dragon shadow, no bigger than a thumb and composed of the purest essence of the soul, was curled up, fast asleep.
With each breath it took, the surrounding chaotic energy rippled slightly.
A faint yet incredibly pure and ancient dragon soul power, seemingly sharing the same origin as the dragon veins of the entire Chinese land, emanated from the dragon shadow.
"Oh? There's a little thing hidden in here?"
Lin Fan became interested.
He weighed the jade pendant in his hand and then looked at the requirements for "core energy" on the blueprint.
"Stable, pure, massive..."
He stroked his chin and muttered something to himself.
"Hmm... this thing that looks like a power bank, it should... work, right?"
