Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Analyzing the Reverse Engineering of Mechanical Item Blueprints

“A broken gun, how much could it sell for? Come with me, let’s see what your limit is. If you can satisfy me, from now on, follow me, and I’ll guarantee you’ll live the good life!”
Being able to reverse-engineer mechanical equipment and items to create blueprints, this talent definitely surpassed the blue-rare quality, and might even be higher.
Such a talent might, over a long period, slowly rise to prominence, but limited by the current technological level of Blue Star, he would definitely grow slowly. But if he followed Li Yuan, relying on the many conceptual theories and known mechanical weapons from his previous life on Earth, Shen Yurou would absolutely ascend quickly, becoming a fearsome mechanic grandmaster.
“Pfft! ZiLiyuan, so you’re also a lecher! I misjudged you!”
Shen Yurou’s complexion darkened in an instant, her eyes filled with a hint of anger and disappointment.
Being overshadowed by Zi Liyuan, those top students in the same grade had long been beaten into submission, becoming not only his shadow, but also adoring him boundlessly.
The result? Zi Liyuan wanted to take care of her!
The faith she once held crumbled in an instant, and at this moment, she wished she could tear him to pieces!
(O_o)???
Zi Liyuan was a total question mark, really wanting to crack open Shen Yurou’s skull to see exactly what was crammed in there.
An 18-year-old girl, always thinking about racy stuff, not good!
“What are you thinking? With that scrawny body of yours, skinny as a pole, you’re not my type at all. I just want you to join me, as a matter of fact, I need a mechanic to take charge of logistics.”
Stealing a glance at Shen Yurou’s spicy figure and the wickedly lethal weapons, Zi Liyuan rebutted against his will.
(O_o)???
Shen Yurou, sprayed with his words, was full of bewilderment, with question marks all over her head as well.
She felt Zi Liyuan was purely blind, considering herself, at the very least, a school beauty, how her figure and weapons were, those guys in and out of school who sneaked peeks and bumped into walls, posts, or fell into sewers were the best proof.
“Zi Liyuan, are you out of your mind? Hang out with you? And live it large? I know exactly where you come from. You think I don’t know how many Dragon Coins you have, will you let me study a variety of mechanical creations?” They all came from the same orphanage, barring measuring each other’s lengths, they knew each other’s bottom line.
To make high-level mechanical props, a mechanic needed to buy various blueprints, formulas, and a lot of metal materials, the expenses were extremely high.
Shen Yurou knew that Li Yuan lived decently, but to say he was particularly wealthy, she didn’t believe it.
“Do you know what this is? Do you know how many Dragon Coins this set of hero gear can sell for? Cut the chatter, follow me.”
Zi Liyuan’s action was very simple, directly pulling out four pieces of silver hero equipment from the Spatial Backpack, then shared the attribute information with her.
From the wild instance, he got 4 sets of silver hero equipment; just throwing one set in the auction would provide him with a minimum income of 30 million Dragon Coins.
At this moment, Shen Yurou, looking at the shared equipment information, especially the set attributes, had her mind spinning.
Level 20 silver hero equipment, she had never even heard the teacher mention it, and it was not even an option in the novice instance, except for custom orders by life-professionals.
In just an instant, Shen Yurou’s mind spun with countless thoughts, then she assumed that Zi Liyuan had hooked up with a grandmaster life-professional. After hesitating for just a second, Shen Yurou put the firearm into her Spatial Backpack and quickly caught up to Zi Liyuan’s pace, curious to see where this wretch intended to take her.
Feeling Shen Yurou catch up, Zi Liyuan’s lips revealed a hint of a smile, and then he arrived at the largest official weapon store.
The items sold in the official stores are generally standard and without surprises, with special top-quality products being very rare because most of the stock comes from the military, and the really good stuff tends to get intercepted.
However, the official store has its advantages, as it is well-stocked with a variety of goods, and you can find almost anything there, especially technology-based mechanical equipment.
Generally, quality tech-mechanical equipment comes from official stores; the small shops outside sell hardly any.
After all, Blue Star is a supernatural world invaded by games, with technological development being far too slow due to suppression by other systems.
Zi Liyuan came to a crystal and casually tapped it to open the item search page, then went to the mechanical prop category page.
He quickly scanned the information on the mechanical props displayed on the interface and paused briefly on a blue-quality, small-sized Goblin ‘Spirit Pattern Bomb’, adding it to the shopping cart for checkout later.
He didn’t buy much, only selecting four items: a white-quality gunpowder product, a box of twenty green-quality bullets, a blue-quality pistol, and a blue-quality ‘Spirit Pattern Bomb’.
The four items together cost nearly 20,000 Dragon Coins, with the first two being very cheap, less than 200 Dragon Coins. The ‘Spirit Pattern Bomb’ was a consumable and only cost 5,000 Dragon Coins, while the most expensive was the rare blue-quality pistol.
“Yurou, reverse-engineer these four items for me.”
After receiving the four items, Zi Liyuan took Shen Yurou to a secluded corner and handed them to her.
Gunpowder, bullets, a pistol, and a bomb—if they could reverse-engineer the blueprints, with Zi Liyuan explaining some of Earth’s technological theories, creating some high-powered firearms, hand grenades, and explosive packages shouldn’t be difficult, right?
Shen Yurou didn’t waste any words, took the four items, and hesitated briefly, especially when she glanced at the gunpowder and bullets before starting the reverse-engineering process.
[Would you like to spend too Spiritual Energy points to analyze (Gunpowder) and reverse-engineer the (Gunpowder Formula) blueprint? Yes/No?]
“Yes!”
[Analysis started…]
A 10-second blank progress bar appeared in Shen Yurou’s eyes, slowly filling up. When the progress bar reached the end, the [Gunpowder Formula (White)]blueprint appeared in her mechanic’s crafting list.
[Would you like to spend too Spiritual Energy points to analyze (Spiritual Energy Bullets) and reverse-engineer the (Spiritual Energy Bullets Formula) blueprint? Yes/No?]
“Yes!”
[Analysis started…]
This time the blank progress bar was set for 1 minute, and the analysis was quickly completed.
However, when it came to the pistol and bomb, Shen Yurou had to stop.
To analyze and reverse-engineer blueprints for these two rare blue items, 1,000 Spiritual Energy points were needed.
At that moment, Shen Yurou only had 8 Spiritual Power points, which equated to 800 Spiritual Energy points, clearly not enough for the task.
Zi Liyuan had anticipated this and took out the three Level 1 blue-quality equipment pieces he first used, letting her equip them. This instantly added 4 Spiritual Power points, bringing her Spiritual Energy points up to 1,200.
He also took out several Level 1 potions that could restore Spiritual Energy, allowing her to fully replenish her energy levels.
Although Shen Yurou wondered what Zi Liyuan was up to, she didn’t ask any questions. After taking the items, she began to analyze and reverse-engineer the pistol and bomb.
This time it took longer; the pistol alone took 5 minutes to analyze, and the ‘Spirit Pattern Bomb’ even longer at 10 minutes before it was successfully analyzed.
