I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 563 - 413: Master Craftsman·Lu Lun VS Master Craftsman·Lu Yuan
Chapter 563: Chapter 413: Master Craftsman·Lu Lun VS Master Craftsman·Lu Yuan
Seeing the Ancient Insect barely breathing and struggling to utter a single word, everyone felt a profound sense of unease.
The Alliance Director bowed solemnly and said, “Our Underground Alliance has long been indebted to you.”
“Now, a civilization from the outer world has arrived, possessing seemingly more advanced technology; perhaps they have better medicine. We promise to allocate funds for your treatment.”
“But if there truly arises some calamity, we hope you could extend a helping hand and offer protection…”
After a long pause, the Ancient Insect responded in a low and somewhat aged voice without much hope: [Yes.]
Then, it could no longer speak and fell into a deep slumber.
...
“Sigh, the condition of the Ancient Insect is worsening by the day…”
Standing alongside the altar was a craftsman, none other than the Master Craftsman·Lu Lun, who forged the “Earth Splitting Axe” and also inherited the Gear Civilization’s traditions.
Originally, when Dark Steel Civilization discovered “Grotto Heaven,” the “Ancient Insect” allowed them to learn the contents within the jade pendant.
Every craftsman wanted to inherit that tradition!
In the end, only Master Lu Lun perfectly inherited it.
The inheritance is known as “Gears Examining Metal Disassembly,” recording various extraordinary forging techniques.
The knowledge about engravings can only be understood by those whose Divine Attribute reaches 12 points, quite a high threshold.
Over the years, the exceptionally talented Master Lu Lun, dedicating himself to study without rest except for food and sleep, never wasting a moment!
In other words, he is a national treasure of the Underground Alliance, single-handedly sustaining the extraordinary forging industry!
Even the apprentices in the alliance were trained by him.
“Forging techniques of Human Civilization, are they strong?”
“I’m not sure… but they managed to defend against the Earth Splitting Axe’s attack with just a Rare Level shield.”
In Lu Lun’s eyes, a fighting spirit ignited: “I will participate in the second match.”
Seeing Master Lu Lun willing to participate made many leaders hesitant… wondering if one victory was worth it.
Without “Lu Lun,” they definitely couldn’t win…
Even with “Lu Lun” participating, victory wasn’t guaranteed.
If something happened to this national treasure, the trouble would be immense.
Eventually, an elder from the Cross-eyed Clan sighed: “Everyone, we are at a disadvantage; let’s stop hiding our capabilities.”
“It’s not that the opponent will attack us… But if we don’t exhibit our trading value, they might simply leave…”
“There’s no such thing as free favors in this world, without value, we can’t impress them.”
“The outside world might indeed be harsher than we imagine. We must seize this opportunity.”
These words do make sense.
Guo Dafeng’s act of administering medicine, intentionally or unintentionally, demonstrated that the malice from humans wasn’t too great.

Instead, the Underground Alliance’s 12 civilizations need to interact with humans.
Ultimately, after a brief discussion, the Alliance Director said, “Master Lu Lun, we entrust this to you… since you’ve decided to compete, you must win.”
“I will do my best.”
Lu Lun nodded, taking out the jade pendant worn around his neck.
This jade pendant, known as the “Spiritual Jade,” would self-destruct after the information inside was read, leaving only fragments which he carefully preserved till now.
He murmured softly: “May the God of Gears protect us…”
…
The second gambling match, Forging Science!
The rules are simple: only “Inferior Grade” extraordinary materials and the most common industrial products like glue, nails, and springs are allowed.
High-end silicon chips, advanced sensors, and radar lasers, or other materialistic technologies are prohibited.
The final creation with the highest quality of Mind wins.
Of course, as hosts, the Underground Alliance meticulously prepared a forging table and some already smelted metal ingots for humans to use freely.
…
The Underground Alliance unexpectedly proposed to settle the dispute through “forging”!
Humans, for a moment, felt somewhat stupefied, thinking the opponent seemed to be handing them a victory.
Eyes stared blankly at Lu Yuan, appearing as though victory was assured.
“Why, you all have so much confidence in me?” Lu Yuan said slightly annoyed, “What if we lose?”
Craftsmen, akin to walking gold mines, usually stay at home well-protected.
Only someone odd like Lu Yuan, who can fight and forge, would also venture to the front lines as a diplomat.
Guo Dafeng laughed, “You’re a craftsman master who has forged Epic Level items, after all. That ‘Greedy Demon God’ can even devour ores to constantly evolve, reaching Immortal Level now, right? Even if the opponent is a Legendary Master, what of it? They are several levels behind.”
“Sigh, you all think it’s so simple.”
“Craftsmanship relies heavily on inspiration; the routine accumulation accounts for 10%, inspiration for the other 90%!” Lu Yuan said helplessly, “What if the opponent has a moment of Sudden Enlightenment and crafts a Legendary item right there? I wouldn’t have the capability to win then.”
“Great Commander, don’t worry too much, losing isn’t a big deal; we’re just here to observe the opponent’s intelligence,” Professor Lu Tiantian chuckled,” It seems the Underground Alliance wants to show off their communicative value; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come up with this idea.”
“They are definitely showcasing their real foundation!”
The recent battle made it clear to the observant; the Underground Alliance’s development was somewhat distorted.
Isn’t it skewed that Spark couldn’t break through Level Four?
Even they themselves realized this, their soldiers, experts, and diplomats all seemed restless… a restlessness hard to hide.
