I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 568 - 416 "Luck," Appeared Out of Nowhere!

Chapter 568: Chapter 416 “Luck,” Appeared Out of Nowhere!

Master Craftsman Lu Lun stroked his long beard; he was utterly clueless about puppets.

After pondering carefully, he did not sense the presence of “civilization destiny” within this locust.

The human craftsman seemed to employ some extremely exquisite skills; just the fluttering fingertips and the fancy assembly made him dizzy with confusion.

“But without the civilization destiny, it doesn’t mean much…” Lu Lun murmured to himself.

Some time later, the Underground Alliance handed over the newly forged Black Steel head to the humans.

...

After identifying it for a long time, the humans reluctantly confirmed the result, [Rare Level +++] – an impressive achievement.

Unless a craftsman struck by inspiration attempted to challenge it,

nobody among the humans could rival it!

…

“I’ll take a rest first; it’s going to take him a long time to finish this…” Lu Lun yawned, utterly worn out.

“You take it easy, we are all watching; he can’t cheat!”

“Hey, it’s not about cheating… Wake me up early if anything happens.”

Lu Lun lay down on his chair and quietly fell asleep.

He even had a dream, seeing himself battle against an endless swarm of the insect race with the newly created “Black Steel Axe”.

In the blustery wind and bloodshed, the heavy gasps, the violent heartbeat, death, and crying… In these countless scars, he saw snippet after snippet of history, and in these stardust-like fragments, he heard the footsteps of civilization persevering through suffering.

Master Craftsman Lu Lun grew up in such an environment.

Their Underground Alliance needed such weapons of slaughter, so he created them!

If one day the Alliance no longer needed them, then he could turn the sword into a plowshare.

As for his personal hobbies and interests, they were insignificant in front of the entire civilization’s needs!

No one can say that this way of thinking is wrong…

He slept for three days and nights before finally waking up.

After stretching and eating something,

he heard the sound of the hammer striking.

“The human craftsman, has he not finished yet?”

“It might take even longer… It’s been five whole days of forging; his stamina is quite impressive.”

“At an Extraordinary Level, their spiritual power and stamina are indeed much stronger than ours.”

It wasn’t just the Underground Alliance; even the humans were baffled. The locust they created was incredibly lifelike, as if it was alive… But what’s the use of being lifelike?

The current identification result… was just an ordinary insect specimen, not even qualifying for Inferior Grade!

“Even if the other party doesn’t produce a Rare item, they won’t easily admit defeat; let’s just patiently watch.”

Lu Lun narrowed his eyes; he witnessed Lu Yuan inserting a gear engraved with complex patterns into the body of the locust.

“Huh… That gear’s design, it seems familiar…”

Then, he sensed the locust again… and still didn’t feel any “civilization’s fate” within it.

This puzzled Lu Lun quite a bit; could it be that this human master was a fake?

Faced with a situation he couldn’t understand, he felt a hint of unease.

There were some master craftsmen who could create Extraordinary Items without the aid of “civilization destiny”, relying solely on their own strength.

But those items often weren’t very impressive.

Being able to bring out the material’s own characteristics was already quite good.

Because “civilization’s fate” is the highest level form of Ideal Energy.

For example, the “Grotto Heaven” they depend on to live requires the devouring of “Civilization Points” to expand.

So what exactly is the invisible and intangible “Civilization Points”?

The Underground Alliance, after long-term research, believes that it is a special form of highest-grade energy, part of the entire Pangu Continent’s history.

Ordinary people consider “Civilization Points” to be nebulous, but in reality, it does exist, closely linked to the fate of every individual.

Of course, the luck used by craftsmen is somewhat different from Civilization Points.

“Civilization Points” are the accumulation of the past, while craftsmen borrow from a dynamic change of the present.

In short, without the aid of “luck,” this highest level ability, Extraordinary Items won’t be too outstanding!

“Sometimes, just following your own path is enough…” Lu Lun advised himself, “There’s no need to care about what others say. What’s the point of arguing? Big and small families are just two sides of the same coin; none can exist without the other.”

“However, the other party’s skills seem to be excellent… I hope there will be a good result.”

With a mindset that hoped the other party had decent skills but also hoped they wouldn’t surpass his own, he watched with relish, like an artisan from an old era observing the Extraordinary skills of a new era.

Lu Lun’s techniques all came from “Gears Examining Metal Disassembly”, mainly metal forging, along with some engravings; he didn’t study much about sewing, carpentry, weaving, stone carving.

Whereas Lu Yuan’s techniques came from multiple civilizations, including powerful ones like Green Grass and Gears. Whether forging, carpentry, or sewing, he was almost proficient in all; a small knife could perform wonders, and a flying needle danced in the air like an elf, dazzling to watch.

There were many skills that Lu Lun couldn’t grasp, and it made him itch… eagerly wanting to exchange knowledge right away.

“What exactly do you want to do?”

Suddenly, Lu Lun’s eyes widened, staring intently into the distance.

He felt a trace of “Luck”!

“Luck” emerged out of nowhere!!

…

At this very moment, Lu Yuan took out a row of wooden needles and gently exhaled.

These two wooden needles were made from the heartwood of the Tree of Life, capable of channeling a small amount of Life Essence during sewing.

The materials allowed for this gambling match were limited to Inferior Grade, but there was no restriction on the forging tools used. If you had the ability, you could even bring out Extraordinary Items for forging and it wouldn’t be a problem.

Lu Yuan was actually creating this magical biological puppet for the first time, and he was feeling a thrilling sense of doing as he pleased.

There was no burst of Inspiration, nor the use of expensive materials…

But he had thoroughly combed through and reapplied everything he had learned in the past!

This is what true creation is!

Lu Yuan’s thought process was simple: First, be of a higher Level than the opponent!

Second is… functionality!

Creating an aesthetically pleasing but impractical vase was something he couldn’t convince himself to do.

However, this “Big Locust Valley” was already dead and could not be resurrected, so preserving just the “Farming Mushroom” functionality was enough; digestive system, circulatory system, etc., could be directly removed.

Even more, the “Farming Mushroom” function must be superior to that of the original living insect!

Otherwise, there would be little point to this puppet. Couldn’t he just “Control” a few living locusts to achieve the same effect?

Living locusts are infinite in number, impossible to catch them all. Why bother fussing over this worthless thing?

“The functionality must far exceed that of ordinary locusts.”

So… how should these challenges be solved?

Even if the biological puppet could successfully secrete nutrient fluid, its functionality would hardly match that of the living locusts…

And secreting nutrient fluid is such a hassle. What Level would a dead creature need to be at to resurrect? At least Immortal, or even Mythical Level, right? Lu Yuan really didn’t have that kind of ability!

So the solution he came up with was—a Field!!

Yes, as long as there was a way to guide out those “Mind Rules that promote mushroom Growth” from the biological materials and turn it into a localized Field, wouldn’t that solve everything?

Then he could catch a few living locusts to secrete nutrient fluid.

With the help of the Field, a “1+1 greater than 2” effect could be achieved.

“I’m a genius!!”

Now, he has been working on this for almost a week, his spiritual power was nearly depleted, and he felt mildly fatigued—he took out a bottle of Pomegranate Fruit and Soul Baby Fruit juice mix and gulped it down.

“Flying Needle, go!”

The two wooden needles plunged into the locust’s body, beginning to carve Engravings on its shell.

Others couldn’t see what he was up to, but Lu Yuan knew this was the most crucial stage.

He controlled the Flying Needle with the Eternal Spark, using the “Fire Spark Engraving Skill,” in unison with the evanescent “Mind Rules” attached to the Insect Shell, intending to turn them into a radiating Field.

This… was difficult.

Mind Rules are, after all, very abstract concepts. Without Lu Yuan’s extensive experience in creating “Fields,” it would be completely absurd.

At this moment, that little bit of the insect’s persistent attachment played its part.

It was just an ordinary insect. History described it as an insect that cultivated mushrooms all its life, and couldn’t even stir a ripple of water.

Its most profound memory was secretly consuming that little mushroom that fell on the ground—the unparalleled Joy…

Starting with this point of entry, Lu Yuan was like a Hunter in the forest, searching for that fleeting “Mushroom.”

“I will let you do the work you loved most in life… and allow you a bit of greed, as compensation for your labor.”

“You… not willing?”

Gradually, Lu Yuan found the right path.

In the depths of that profound mist, he isolated the “Mind Rules” tangled within its body, guided them out thread by thread.

Until the seventh day, the eighth day, he… succeeded!

The final guidance was complete.

Lu Yuan, exhausted, patted the Big Locust Valley’s head: “From today onwards, I, the Greedy Demon God, give you a new name.”

“Let’s call you… Farmer No.1, how about that?”

Of course, the locust wouldn’t respond—it was still just a dead object.

But at the moment it was named, the “Luck” from the Insect Clan Army graced it ever so slightly.

From today on, it would be known as “Farmer No.1,” an important asset of the Insect Clan Army.

All who witnessed it would know, it’s called “Farmer No.1.”

It now had a brand new destiny of its own!

Its history was reconnected to the river of time.
