Chapter 61: Chapter61-Crafting Platinum-Grade War Machines from Gold-Grade Blueprints

Daniel nodded in satisfaction.

There was no doubt—the bonuses were substantial and would have a tremendous impact on Polaris City’s future development.

After roughly scanning the panel information, he turned to Roland.

"Roland, Polaris City has just been promoted to Main City, and affairs will be busy. For now, all administrative tasks are entrusted to you. I will recruit a group of reliable partners to help govern as soon as possible."

"Also, do everything you can to attract immigrants and increase food production to prepare for the upcoming war!"

Roland saluted solemnly.

"As you command, Your Grace!"

After giving a few more instructions, Roland hurried off with Daniel’s orders.

But Daniel did not idle. He immediately pulled a stack of blueprints from his pocket and began examining them.

[Gold-Grade Trebuchet Blueprint]

[Gold-Grade Ballista Blueprint]

[Gold-Grade Shield Wagon Blueprint]

[...]

He pulled out the first blueprint and began studying it.

With the aid of his legendary-grade engineering skills, the contents of the blueprint rapidly integrated into his mind.

The structural principles of all the machines decomposed and recombined in his brain again and again...

Ten minutes later:

[Ding! You have mastered "Trebuchet Manufacturing (Gold-Grade)"]

[Current Proficiency: Beginner]

He took out the prepared materials and began construction.

Half an hour later:

[Ding! You have manufactured "Trebuchet (Platinum-Grade)"]

[Quality: Platinum-Grade (exceeding original blueprint level)]

[Attributes:]

Attack Range: 500m → 800m

Attack Power: 5,000 → 12,000

Firing Rate: 3 shots/min → 5 shots/min

Durability: 10,000 → 25,000

Special Effect: 20% chance to trigger "Explosive Throw", doubling damage!

"Beautiful!"

Daniel’s eyes lit up.

The Earth Core Furnace enhancement was truly terrifying!

He had turned a gold-grade blueprint into a platinum-grade machine!

He glanced at the remaining blueprints, excitement flickering in his eyes.

With a major war approaching, the better prepared he was, the higher his chance of victory.

Time was of the essence—he immediately pulled out the second blueprint to study it.

Meanwhile, Polaris City’s construction continued at a furious pace.

The 1 million-strong army was setting up camp, with coordinated shouts echoing from the training grounds in the suburbs.

The temple’s light shone over the entire city, and the glow from the furnaces illuminated the night sky.

All of this was preparation for the imminent war.

And the young man intensely studying the blueprints was the very heart of it all.

...

Polaris City, Eastern District Tavern

Night had fallen, but this frontier city was more lively than during the day.

Streets bustled with people, shops shone brightly, and laughter and chatter echoed from the taverns.

Sunborn pushed open the tavern door. The smell of beer, roasted meat, and sweat hit him instantly.

"The captain is here!"

At a large table in the corner, six people simultaneously raised their cups.

Sunborn smiled as he walked over and sat in the empty seat.

The greatsword on his back gleamed faintly in the dim light. Intricate patterns etched into the blade marked it as high-grade equipment.

"Holy shit, Captain, this sword is insane!"

A tall, thin archer leaned in, eyes nearly pressed against the blade.

"Platinum-grade! It’s actually platinum-grade!"

"It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a living platinum-grade piece of equipment!"

Sunborn grinned, removing the sword and placing it on the table.

The six people immediately surrounded it, chattering excitedly.

"Attack Power +3,500, Strength +200, Agility +150, with the skill Solar Slash... these stats are ridiculous!"

"Stop looking! Even if you keep staring, it’s not yours."

"Captain, how many merit points did it cost to exchange for this?"

Sunborn took a sip from his cup, eyes filled with gratitude.

"50,000 merit points."

"50,000?!"

They all gasped.

"I spent half a month and only saved 3,000..."

"That’s why I’m thanking you guys," Sunborn said seriously, looking at them.

"If you hadn’t pooled your money to help me exchange merit points, I wouldn’t have gotten this sword."

"This sword is the squad’s shared property. When we fight bosses, I go in first, and everyone gets a share of any good loot."

"Captain, don’t make it sound so formal," said the priestess, waving her hand and smiling.

"You get stronger, the squad gets stronger, loot drops are more likely. Think of it as an investment, got it?"

"Exactly!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Sunborn smiled, saying no more, but he mentally noted this favor.

"Oh, Captain, what about that thing you helped us with for the Doom Guild?"

The archer leaned in to ask.

Sunborn smacked his forehead.

"Almost forgot! It all went through!"

He opened the guild panel and handled each operation one by one.

[Ding! You have joined Doom Guild]

[Ding! You have joined Doom Guild]

...

The six people received notifications consecutively. First stunned, then erupting in cheers.

"Holy shit! We really got in!"

"I’ve been trying for half a month and couldn’t get through—Captain, how did you do it?"

Sunborn smiled.

"I have a friend in the guild management who helped pass the word."

"Captain, you’re incredible! Even the big guilds have trouble getting in!"

"Come on, let’s drink! Celebrate all of us becoming members of Doom Guild!"

The seven clinked cups and drank in one go.

Although Doom Guild had previously filled 100 million members at once, many were kicked out due to overcrowding.

Daniel had been too lazy to process them slowly, so he accepted everyone with one click.

In his free time, he began screening members.

For example, IDs with the prefix Stormbound were almost always troublemakers—Daniel kicked them out immediately.

Similarly, infamous IDs from previous servers received no mercy.

Through this, nearly 1 million member slots opened up.

But Daniel didn’t fill them randomly.

Instead, he used a recommendation system, letting elite frontier players recommend friends.

This increased loyalty and engagement while forming high-quality squads.

For instance, Sunborn’s seven-man squad had members of different levels and professions. Even the mage was a newly registered newbie.

Thanks to Sunborn’s recommendation, the mage was directly accepted into Doom Guild.

Experienced squads like this could level up quickly.

Other players, seeing Sunborn get attention, would similarly strive to contribute more to the guild, then invite their friends and family.

Showing off in front of familiar people—it was a point of pride.
