Chapter 156 -133: To Be or Not to Be the Factory Owner, That is the Question_1

[You command the bronze carriage to head for the ‘Refined Copper Smelter Factory’.]

[With the closing of the carriage door, the carriage begins to move in a certain direction.]

On the journey, Lin Xun encounters a giant monster again, but he doesn’t open the carriage door to invite death.

Ten minutes into navigating through the fog, the carriage arrives at its destination.

[The carriage comes to a slow stop. Automatically, the carriage door opens and you step out slowly…]

[Tall and thick chimneys in the shape of a tower penetrate the white fog. The building they connect to underneath is massive, revealing only the tip of the iceberg in the fog.]

[As you stride forward, a massive brass door comes into view.]

[Looking up, the brass door is labeled ‘Refined Copper Smelter Factory’.]

[Brave Apostle, do you wish to push open the door to the smelter factory?]

[With the harsh metal grinding noise, you forcefully push open the brass door to the factory…]

[A wave of hot air hits your face, painting your vision red.]

[The factory houses a gigantic furnace large enough to be hugged by over a decade people inside. Bright-red molten copper rolls violently in the furnace. The surrounding temperature is extremely high, the overwhelming heat causes the air to distort slightly.]

[Conveyor belts are connected to the furnace, with numerous figures standing around it. They carry baskets, pouring ore from the baskets onto the conveyor belts…]

[After the harsh noise from the opening of the massive door, they all turn their heads towards you…]

[In their worn and dirty gray uniforms, their eye sockets are hollow, the eyes nowhere to be found.]

[Your sudden arrival has caught the attention of ‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker’!]

[Spotting your intact eyes, they let out a strange sound, greed surging across their pale faces as they all rush towards you…]

Lin Xun frowns.

Door-opening-monsters-spawning, indeed a game from the Underworld.

[You have possessed the body of ‘The Lost Ancient Theater Dancer’!]

Clicks on the invisibility skill.

[You activate ‘Blood Shadow Dance’, with nimble steps, the body of the shell fades and eventually disappears.]

[Your sudden disappearance leaves ‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Workers’ baffled, standing still in their places.]

[Soon after, they return to their own posts, and start their repetitive work mechanically.]

[Maintaining your invisibility, you sneak up behind one ‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker’, with the dagger in your hand, you silently stab towards its back…]

[You defeat ‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker’, gaining a small amount of experience.]

[You acquired ‘Crude Large Copper Ore’ (Junk) x2]

Lin Xun is intrigued.

Opens inventory to check.

[‘Crude Large Copper Ore’ (Junk), a large chunk of ore which is grey-black with a hint of bright yellow, the surface is sprinkled with splotches of blue-purple-brown and green-black streaks. Inside the slightly metallic and shiny ore, there’s a very small amount of brass.]

The refined copper material should be smelted from this kind of ore.

That is to say, by killing monsters, ores can be obtained.

With ores, a way to acquire refined copper materials is possible!

[You look at the worker shell that lies limp on the ground…]

[‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker’, worker toiling away in the smelter factory, for reasons unknown, its eyes were gouged out. Even after becoming blind, it hasn’t forgotten its original pursuit, repeating the work of smelting refined copper daily. It was sneakily attacked, and died from a ruptured heart. Compatibility: 120% (+45%)]

[Do you want to possess this shell?]

Lin Xun’s eyes shine brightly.

Disposes the scapegoat student from his shell inventory, then clicks on the possession.

[You’ve possessed the ‘The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker’ shell!]

[Only memories of the shell’s daily monotonous smelting work remain.]

[Do you want to continue exploring the smelter factory?]

Doesn’t rush any option.

With anticipation, he opens the shell panel to look at the attributes.

[Shell——The Inquisitive Smelter Factory Junior Worker]

[True Name: Unknown]

[Compatibility: 120% (+45%) Compatibility exceeds the threshold, shell quality is upgraded!]

[Shell Quality: Ordinary Level]

[Shell Level: 34 (+9↑)]

[Shell Equipments: Dirty Smelter Factory Uniform (Ruined Level), a gray uniform stained with unidentified grime, useless apart from indicating the wearer’s identity.]

[Shell Skills: Junior Refined Copper Smelting Skills (Ruined + Level), a skill honed in the refined copper smelter factory, a technique discovered after thousands of times smelting the ore. The possessor of this skill can smelt brass ore into refined copper materials with the help of the furnace.]

Lin Xun smiles slightly.

Having the ore, and the smelting skill now.

Creating refined copper material is just a minute’s work.

However, he notes the worker only possesses Junior-level smelting skill, and the skill quality is only at Ruined + Level.

Such a lousy skill probably only enables smelting of the worst quality refined copper.

While his target is the ‘Special Grade’ refined copper material.

Perhaps there are high-level workers in the smelter factory.

[Do you want to continue exploring the smelter factory?]

Lin Xun thinks for a moment and selects ‘No’.

[Instead of continuing to explore the depths of the factory, you choose to stay here, watching with interest the workflow of the other workers…]

[They pour ore into the conveyor belts, which transport the ore directly to the giant furnace.]

[The temperature inside the furnace is extremely high, incinerating the impurities in the ore, leaving what’s left as red molten copper.]

[What’s left of the molten copper is cooled down and solidified to get the lowest grade of refined copper material.]

[Do you want to continue exploring the smelter factory?]

Lin Xun squints his eyes, continues selecting ‘No’.
