Chapter 160 -134: The Monster in the Smelter Factory Basement_2

Even if you kill and possess a body, you only get the shell, not the traded items.

In the factory, he had already pocketed all the refined copper that he could scrounge for free. The highest quality of the refined copper was merely ‘Special Grade’ not ‘Super Top-Notch’.

Perhaps ‘Super Top-Notch’ refined copper materials can only be obtained by purchasing them from the factory owner.

[You take over the list and browse carefully…]

[‘Large Regular Refined Copper Brick’ (Material), Spiritual Value: 3000, Stock: 999]

[‘Large High Quality Refined Copper Brick’ (Material), Spiritual Value: 6000, Stock: 999]

[‘Large Premium Refined Copper Brick’ (Material), Spiritual Value: 12000, Stock: 999]

[‘Large Special Grade Refined Copper Brick’ (Material), Spiritual Value: 24000, Stock: 999]

Lin Xun twitched his mouth corner.

The factory owner not only lacks ‘Super Top-Notch’ refined copper materials but also sells other refined copper materials at absurdly high prices.

He still has 75 blocks of Special Grade Refined Copper Bricks in his pocket. According to the factory owner’s quote, these 75 bricks could sell for 1.8 million Spiritual Value.

He wished he could sell the bricks in his pocket directly to the factory owner.

Unfortunately, the factory owner only has a purchase option, but not a selling one.

[You wave your hand, stating bluntly that you don’t need such rubbish. If he wants to continue trading, bring out the top-tier refined copper material.]

[‘Curious Smelter Factory Owner’ lifts his chin, telling you that the highest-grade copper material is ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze’. It’s rather scarce, only customers who spend more than 100,000 Spiritual Value here are allowed to purchase it.]

[The price of a ‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze’ is 48,000 Spiritual Value points.]

Lin Xun gritted his teeth.

The factory-owner essentially wears the words ‘You’re poor’ on his face.

You cannot buy Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze without spending a full 100,000 Spiritual Value.

The problem is that these refined coppers are way, way too expensive!

He revisited the text and the modification list given by the craftsman.

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Spring’ (Material) *1]

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Gyroscope’ (Material) *2]

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Core’ (Material) *5]

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Bearing’ (Material) *15]

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Gear’ (Material) *20]

[‘Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze Connecting Rod’ (Material) *25]

Going by the one material to one refined copper brick ratio, he needs at least 68 Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze bricks to meet the modification needs.

The technician shell he possessed was the highest-grade shell in the factory area, and the smelting skill could only smelt Special Grade Refined Copper.

Lin Xun suspected that the factory owner had higher-level smelting skills, however, having those higher-level skills would be meaningless.

The ore in the factory area has been exhausted.

There are still 75 ‘Special Grade Refined Copper Bricks’ in the item bar.

With a smelting ratio of two to one, even if he transformed these refined copper bricks into Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze bricks, he’s still 30 bricks short of his 68-brick goal.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

No materials, no skills to speak of.

Seems like there’s no way to fill the 30-brick Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze gap.

And thirty pieces of Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze would cost almost 1.5 million Spiritual Value.

Lin Xun suddenly noticed that there are still many ‘Crude Large Copper Ores’ left in the item bar.

Glancing at the number, there were more than 240 bits!

He eagerly canceled the trade.

[You look at the trade list and shake your head indicating that you need to consider it.]

[‘The Curious Smelter Factory Owner’ tells you, you can take a tour at the smelter factory, and check the quality of the refined copper.]

[If you cannot find the way, you can let ‘The Curious Smelter Factory Technician’ guide you…]

Lin Xun rolled his eyes, how can he guide himself!

Leaving the office, he headed straight to the big furnace with more than 240 ‘Crude Large Copper Ores’.

Switched back to ‘Curious Smelter Factory Technician’s shell, using his craft…

After a long while…

He looked at the newly acquired 15 Special Grade Refined Copper Bricks in his item bar and fell into deep thought.

Even if the Rest Page refreshes two times, hunting monsters two more times should get him another 30 Special Grade Refined Copper bricks.

Then his number of Special Grade Refined Copper would reach 75 + 15 + 30 = 120.

Smelt it into Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze and it’s halved, goes down to 60, which is still 8 blocks short of the goal of 68.

And those 8 pieces of Super Top-Notch Fine Bronze would cost nearly 400,000 Spiritual Value …

“Blessed Be, this hellishly difficult game!”

Lin Xun has no plans to go to the library to sell equipment for money.

He must not spend money if he can get it for free!

He still has a shred of hope for a free ride.

Open the item bar.

[‘Smelter Factory Underground Secret Room Construction Blueprint’ (map), paper records the blueprint for building the underground secret room of the Smelter Factory, including the materials used for casting the refined copper walls and doors of the secret room, as well as the specific location of the secret room.]

[Carry this map, you can find the entrance of the ‘Smelter Factory Underground Secret Room’ under the guidance of the map.]

He decisively clicked to use the map!

[You pull out the ‘Smelter Factory Underground Secret Room Construction Blueprint’. Following the guidance of the map, you come to the deepest part of the factory…]

[There is a giant refined copper workbench in front of you. It’s extremely heavy. The ground around the workbench is filled with deep drag marks.]

[According to the map, the entrance to the basement is right under the workbench…]

[You try to push the workbench, but the immensely heavy workbench refuses to budge …]

[You hold your breath, exert all your strength, try again, but the workbench remains immovably as before…]

[You realize that the workbench needs to be moved by using a hidden mechanism. You search around the workbench…]

[After a long search, you find nothing…]

Lin Xun grimaced, it doesn’t have to be this complicated.
