Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time-Chapter 824: The Satisfied Peak Head

The Puppet's surface was smooth but not ornamental. Every curve and edge served a purpose.

Though the legs remained one of its most distinctive features.

Four long, jointed limbs extended from the lower body, each ending in a wheel mechanism. The joints allowed for a wide range of motion, enabling the puppet to adapt to uneven terrain with ease. However, Han Yu had added an important modification.

The wheels could now retract.

When stability was required, the wheels would fold upward into the legs, allowing the puppet to walk directly on its limbs like a four-legged beast. This dual-mode mobility ensured that the puppet could operate both on smooth surfaces and in rough, unstable environments such as a mine.

The arms had undergone even greater refinement.

Each arm was now equipped with a chain-belt system running along its length. Attached to this system were multiple interchangeable tools, each designed for a specific function.

There were drills of varying sizes, capable of penetrating rock with controlled force.

There were small precision hammers, designed to strike delicate mineral formations without shattering them.

There were vibrating chisels that could pierce into material without causing excessive shock to surrounding structures.

There were pincers for gripping and extracting fragments.

There were small shovels and auxiliary tools for clearing debris.

Each tool could move along the chain belt and lock into position at the end of the arm when needed. When not in use, they rested neatly along the sides of the puppet's body.

Han Yu had also ensured that the entire system was modular.

Any tool could be removed and replaced with minimal effort.

Even a slave with no cultivation could perform outer maintenance or replacements.

This was critical.

A puppet designed for large-scale operations needed to be easy to repair and maintain. Complexity that required skilled cultivators would defeat the purpose.

At the center of the puppet's body lay the core system.

Four puppet cores.

Three specialized cores and one central coordination core.

They worked in perfect harmony.

The energy supply system was intentionally simple.

A small compartment located within the body served as the power source. Spirit stones could be placed inside, and the puppet would draw energy from them as needed.

Han Yu had tested this extensively.

Using a single low-grade spirit stone, the puppet could operate for approximately ten to fifteen hours depending on workload intensity.

For a prototype, this level of efficiency was more than acceptable.

And since the design prioritized precision over brute force, energy consumption remained relatively low.

Once the construction was complete, Han Yu ran multiple tests.

He adjusted parameters.

Refined movement.

Verified energy flow.

Ensured stability.

Only after he was fully satisfied did he contact the Second Kidney Peak Head.

The response came quickly.

He was summoned.

Han Yu transported the puppet to the Peak Head's residence and presented it in the open hall.

The old man observed it silently as Han Yu activated it.

The puppet came to life smoothly.

It moved forward with controlled precision, its wheels rotating briefly before retracting as it transitioned into walking mode. The motion was fluid, almost lifelike in its adaptability.

Han Yu then demonstrated its functionality.

He had brought several rocks of varying hardness and composition.

"Observe," Han Yu said.

He input parameters into the puppet.

The analysis core activated.

A faint glow passed over the rock as the puppet assessed its structure.

Then, without hesitation, one of the arms selected an appropriate tool.

A small chisel.

The arm extended.

The chisel vibrated subtly.

Rumble

And with a series of precise, controlled movements, the puppet began to break the rock apart.

There was no excessive force.

No unnecessary impact.

Each strike was measured.

Each movement calculated.

The rock split cleanly along natural lines.

The Peak Head's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched.

Han Yu continued.

"The force can be adjusted based on material density. The analysis core determines optimal output."

He switched to a different rock.

Harder.

Denser.

This time, the puppet selected a drill.

The tool locked into place.

The drill spun.

And with steady pressure, it began penetrating the rock with minimal vibration.

Again, controlled.

Again, precise.

Han Yu turned back to the Peak Head.

"As long as the parameters are set correctly, the puppet will adapt its actions accordingly."

The room fell silent once more.

The demonstration was complete.

And the result spoke for itself.

The Second Kidney Peak Head watched the demonstration in silence from beginning to end.

His expression did not change much, but Han Yu could feel the subtle fluctuations of emotion coming from him through the Eight Emotions energy. It was faint, restrained, but unmistakably present.

There was approval there. A quiet, measured satisfaction that the old man did not bother to show outwardly. And when the puppet completed its final motion and returned to a neutral stance, the Peak Head finally spoke.

"Good."

It was a simple word, but coming from him, it carried weight.

He stepped closer to the puppet, his gaze sweeping across its structure. He did not touch it, nor did he attempt to probe it deeply with his spirit sense. Instead, he relied on experience. The kind of experience that came from centuries of observing disciples, techniques, weapons, and constructs of all kinds.

"I am not a puppet artisan," he said slowly, "but I have seen enough constructs to know what is viable."

He glanced briefly at Han Yu.

"This… is viable."

That was all Han Yu needed to hear.

The Peak Head turned slightly, folding his hands behind his back.

"I have already informed the Puppet Peak elders that there will be a demonstration."

"They are expecting you."

Han Yu's eyes sharpened slightly.

That was faster than he expected.

The Peak Head continued.

"You may go there and present it. The rest depends on whether they accept it. If they do, then I will get the other elders to grant you a position at the mines."

Han Yu nodded without hesitation.

"I understand."

There was no need for further words.

The opportunity had been created. What remained now was execution.
