Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Solving the Equipment Problem
Watching Qin Lan instruct others and increase their workload, Fang Jie felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
Alright, let’s not worry about this matter here, let’s resolve other issues first.
This time, Fang Jie focused on equipment in the exchange. First, is a golden-level building upgrade scroll. This thing is not cheap, even the price of troop building upgrade scrolls is quite high.
These things represent the foundation of military strength, and there aren’t many to begin with.
If it weren’t for this time’s reward being distributed to all gods, Fang Jie wouldn’t have gotten so much.
In external wars, it’s impossible to obtain treasure boxes, and such items cannot be looted.
Fang Jie was quick-eyed and quick-handed, but only managed to grab this one. Without hesitation, he immediately applied it to the Weapon Processing Factory. The Weapon Processing Factory, which had already been upgraded to silver level, finally advanced to gold level.
"Thankfully, at least the weapons for normal troops have been sorted out."
Fang Jie placed all kinds of equipment materials and blueprints he also exchanged into it, and the Weapon Processing Factory will gradually absorb and adjust, turning them into its own assets, then start large-scale production.
At most, these things cannot undergo fission and can only arm a part of the people among them.
Previously, his military strength was suppressed by the enemy regarding equipment.
If he had these, Fang Jie would have the confidence to press the opponent in battle. Not only do normal-sized troops have equipment, but even some troops with special sizes and even large creatures have equipment available.
However, because this is the Undead System’s Weapon Processing Factory, some are indeed special.
The weapons processed are mostly made of bones, though they are special bones. These bone-made weapons can actually be used by other troops, though they might not be as handy.
With some modifications, I believe there won’t be any issues.
Then there are flesh-type weapons, which are genuinely troublesome, as they look quite mysterious and disgusting.
There’s even a kind of flesh armor, essentially a layer of flesh worn on the body, then growing on it. If a skeleton wears it, they can act as a zombie, and if a zombie wears it, they appear even more bloated.
This kind of thing is simply impossible for average creatures to accept.
Fang Jie had also collected quite a few other peculiar items, planning to study them slowly in the future.
As for large siege weapons, they are available, but Fang Jie believes his Elemental Catapult is more practical. In the absence of fission, the various things from the undead tend to be a bit fragile.
Let these things slowly adjust in the Weapon Processing Factory; forming a team to tackle the production issues is planned for later.
Fang Jie looked at the method of crafting divine artifacts. This was also something he exchanged for, belonging to high-end knowledge. Of course, it’s not complete, just the generic parts, but the value isn’t low.
"This really includes both general types and undead types; however, it is quite suitable for the undead."
The contents here, a portion of it, are designed for demigods or even legendary level individuals to use. Special materials can be utilized, using one’s power or special methods to continuously refine them into various weapons and equipment.
If one is a demigod, refining with their own laws can even add various special effects.
However, these things are impossible to become divine artifacts, at most half-god artifacts.
This kind of thing might have some connection to the half-god artifact required for territory upgrades back then, but after all, it is a half-god artifact. In the hands of a demigod, the effects that can be exerted are not weak.
The issue is that this thing requires special materials and a considerable amount of time. Without prolonged refining, the effect cannot be realized.
Those beastman demigods of that time, each of them had at most one or two half-god artifacts, probably due to this situation. In reality, crafting such conventional half-god artifacts is even more difficult for the undead.
Because there are fewer matching materials, their only advantage is that some materials might be more widely sourced.
Ultimately, just needing bones or corpses, plus a bit of refining. While such half-god artifacts are comparatively fragile, they are inexpensive; after all, they are undead.
As for the advantage of lifespan, reaching the demigod level makes it no longer an advantage.
However, there is a special half-god artifact refining method among them, probably added by the Undead God.
"Using a part of oneself, this truly fits the characteristics of the undead." Fang Jie thought. Unfortunately, he’s a normal person and doesn’t want to take a part of himself out.
This method is generic; other creatures can actually use it.
But truly contemplating turning a part of oneself into weapons or equipment, generally, people would hardly do it.
If such a weapon malfunctions, it would greatly affect oneself. However, this weapon is entirely compatible with oneself, making control exceptionally easy, and it can exert strength far beyond the equipment itself.
When you think about it, this weapon crafting method seems most common among the undead and some demon creatures.
Even among other cruel creatures, they may not be fond of such methods.
Being cruel to others doesn’t necessarily mean being cruel to oneself. The refinement of such weapons itself is intensely painful. The undead don’t mind pain, nor do they feel it.
As for demon creatures, pain can further invigorate their strength.
Sometimes, Fang Jie even feels that demon creatures might all be mentally disturbed.
Yet ironically, this crafting method has benefits too. That’s the ability to advance with one’s level. As long as one can ascend to the divine level, the weapon also rises with them to become a divine artifact.
But if the equipment itself experiences issues, it will be tough to elevate oneself to the divine level in the future.
"Forget it, let them try; as long as they don’t craft direct attack weapons, issues shouldn’t easily arise." Auxiliary-type half-god artifacts don’t need a direct confrontation with the opponent.
This thing is fundamentally to enhance the strength of one’s subordinates, let them choose for themselves.
Fang Jie thought for a while and then decided not even to suggest ideas. After all, he is their master, their creator; his suggestions could be more potent than commands.
After releasing those demigods, Fang Jie disclosed these secret techniques to them.
"Remember, until reaching the legendary level, you cannot learn the secret techniques above nor casually inform others about them, understood?" Others need merit to exchange, they’re different from the undead, this aspect requires the Cabinet to plan a set of procedures.
