Chapter 309: Chapter 269: A Formidable Rival Appears (Part 2)

So I flew out of the city immediately, and after half an hour, I reached the Earth Flame Tribe. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After all, I had handed over a big gift bag key, so entering wasn’t a problem.

Then I was stunned by the scene on the shore of the Magma Lake! I even saw ten little Earth Flame Giants grinding Crystal Stone Powder with big rocks.

Uriel asked, "What are you doing?"

The Little Giant answered, "Feeding the Purple Crystal Fish!"

Uriel was amazed! This fish is the tribe’s industry? This wasn’t my setup; it’s the result of intelligent evolution?

Uriel continued to ask, "Where is President Vonima?"

The Little Giants snorted coldly without answering.

Apparently, last time the leader asked me to catch Purple Crystal Fish, and I couldn’t do it, so my reputation was scorn.

Forget it, I’ll find it myself, or see the leader.

Uriel came to the cave of the Purple Crystal Mountain and found the leader with a string of Flower Curtain, resembling a Crystal Stone Flower, hanging over one eye.

Uriel was surprised: "Leader? What’s on your face?"

The leader coughed: "This is a new decorative item, how is it?"

Uriel was stunned, desperately trying to seize the opportunity: "Leader, this is super divine noble art! It will surely sell well in Lost Paradise, I have master-level Treasure Identification Technique, my understanding of art is extraordinary, please teach me the crafting process, I will definitely strive for the tribe’s benefit and glory!"

The leader was delighted: "Since you think so, I’ll teach you. Additionally, your president thinks you’re doing well, so the tribe will relax the rules and allow you to lead teams to transport minerals."

Has my package finally returned to me?

Uriel was overjoyed: "Leader, I definitely won’t disappoint you..."

...

Black Iron City.

Time flew by as Chun tirelessly charged his skills, and what was meant to come finally came:

——System Message: Congratulations! Your Jewelry Processing skill has successfully advanced to Expert Level 1, achieving an award: Carrying Capacity +2, Physical Strength +2, additional rewards: Spirit +2, Life +2, Expert-level Jewelry Cutting Machine proficiency.

——System Message: Congratulations! You proficiently used the Jewelry Cutting Machine, your master-level Mechanician was promoted to Level 2...

Ah, how did I get a Cutting Machine proficiency! The path has narrowed.

Chun continued to cut, increasing his proficiency only slightly; it seems these raw stones are just for upgrading to Expert level. Well, after all, in Black Iron City, jewelry has never been a strong point, getting to Expert is about the top, right?

Then Chun started observing the old man’s maintenance, the bottom of the chair had been opened by the old man like an unboxed mechanical clock with parts everywhere, centered with a fiery red rotating Crystal Stone, surrounded by a few small Crystal Stones.

The old man was sweating profusely, no longer possessing the confidence he had earlier!

Is it truly that difficult to advance to Grandmaster?

Just then, a cursor suddenly appeared in front of Chun—a system prompt: Your master-level Mechanician detected irregular mechanical part linkage. Please use the toolbox tools, calipers, to correct it.

Ah! Could it be tilted from a series of collisions?

Chun couldn’t help but remind: "Mr. Moss, this drive shaft seems bent!"

The old man finally came to his senses: "Here, right?"

Chun said, "I think I can fix this!"

The old man said, "Please, sir!"

Chun took out the tools to start the repair, the skill began to load.

Then with a flash of light—a system prompt: Congratulations! You successfully repaired, your Mechanician proficiency greatly improved.

In the next moment, the Crystal Stone rotation obviously accelerated.

Light flashed across the old man’s body, he was ecstatic beyond measure: "So it was stuck here, I’ve reached Grandmaster!!"

Chun was also happy for him: "Congratulations, sir!"

The old man, excited: "Sir, I don’t know how to thank you, let me give you a treasured master-level Ruby!"

What? A gemstone as a gift?

Chun remembered something: "Mr. Moss, I don’t use other gemstones, do you know about the Seven-Colored Stone?"

The old man was stunned: "That stone is too high-end, even Gem City only has a few, and they’re collected by the nobility, priceless!"

Indeed! Even in Hell, it’s a luxury item.

Chun then asked, "Is there a low-end gemstone that can substitute the Seven-Colored Stone?"

The old man paused again: "Why do you need a low-end gemstone, sir?"

"Well, there’s a kind of cosmetic formula that can use it."

The old man understood, quickly pulling out a picture book, and there it was, a star-styled Fafnir!

Holy shit! Old man, what is this?

The old man shone a "little flashlight" in his hand, Fafnir’s eyeshadow was red, angled differently and it was purple.

Then he asked: "Is it this kind of color-changing cosmetic?"

Chun didn’t know for sure, but could only rely on the help provided: "Probably, yes?"

The old man laughed: "This is Four-Colored Stone, red, yellow, blue, white, can be synthesized using gemstone synthesis techniques, now I am a Grandmaster, I want to challenge synthesizing the Five-Colored Stone, sir come find me tonight, even if I can’t create five colors, a top-grade Four-Colored Stone is no problem."

Then he handed over a business card: "This for you, sir, you are now my VIP, you can enter the second floor anytime."

Chun gladly accepted, his network has widened now, and he can find him to build a warship in the future.

The old man happily sealed Chun’s wheelchair: "Sir, although the wheelchair is a Secret Iron frame, please handle with care, avoid intense collisions, not to mention this wheelchair is now practically priceless."

Chun was surprised: "Because of Secret Iron and Crystal Core?"

The old man solemnly said: "Yes! Mainly the Crystal Core, during the great expansion period there were powerful beasts everywhere, Crystal Cores were strong and common, people of status could acquire them. Physician Shirits saved many important figures, had great status—the fiery red Crystal Core came from a powerful Firebird, providing propulsion for machinery. Now I’ve helped you maintain and upgrade, the wheelchair will have new Special Skill."
