My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 144: Only Need Three Minutes
Not long after, a girl with spots walked in.
Everyone looked over, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on the person behind her.
A cascade of sky-blue hair flowed down, spreading over her shoulders, her eyes bright as if harboring a clear spring.
She wore a dark blue bordered magic robe, her face serene, and as she stepped forward, everyone felt a chill breeze sweep by, as if the temperature around them had suddenly dropped significantly.
Yang Yuanping's pupils constricted.
The girl before him did not have a powerful aura, yet, the intuition honed from years of martial practice screamed to him that this person was very dangerous, extremely dangerous!
Even with his Fourth Layer Awakening strength, in front of her, he probably wouldn't last more than two moves.
This feeling was quite ridiculous, especially since the girl before him looked so soft and weak, completely at odds with strength.
Yet, in just a few seconds, his back was already drenched with cold sweat.
He struggled to calm himself.
Through the introduction by the girl with spots, Yang Yuanping knew that this blue-haired girl was the Minister of the Green Shadow Logistics Department, a true high-ranking figure of the Green Shadow Sanctuary.
With that, his belief in his own intuition deepened, she was a super expert hiding her true strength.
Indeed, the strength of the Green Shadow Sanctuary far surpassed their Creekwood Sanctuary.
Yang Yuanping stopped overthinking and directly inquired about the possibility of weapon customization.
"Customizing weapons is a privilege designated for Patrol Team members, however…" Eileen paused.
The Lord was preparing to expand his business, and this was an excellent opportunity for promotion.
The transaction quota for Creekwood this time was in the thousands of Source Crystals, a number that, although not substantial for the current territory, was an excellent beginning.
One large transaction could yield thousands of Source Crystals, ten times that would be tens of thousands, and if it could attract surrounding sanctuaries to trade here, the revenue of the territory could at least climb to the next level.
"The Lord has always said, 'Never miss any opportunity to make money.'"
Eileen thought it over.
Higher-tier weapons, similar to the Swift Revolver, naturally cannot be sold to outsiders.
Limiting custom equipment for external customers isn't due to any concern, it is merely too troublesome… requiring additional modifications to blueprints, which cost both money and time.
"However, your trade has met the quota, and this time we can make an exception to provide you with an opportunity to customize a weapon."
"Then…I need to customize a long spear weapon, do you know how much of these remaining one thousand Source Crystals could cover?"
Yang Yuanping was somewhat eager.
Eileen, supporting her chin, recalled the workflow, "For custom equipment, we need to evaluate the price based on your requirements at the Equipment Department, and also, we won't accept overly complex customizations."
"Nothing complex, just a standard long spear weapon will do."
"Then follow me, let's head to the Equipment Department."
Yang Yuanping, along with several survivors from Creekwood Sanctuary, quickly followed.
Captain Chen thought for a moment, and also led his own team along.
Wang Zhou stood by, stunned, "What about my clients? They haven't bought anything yet!" He also hurriedly followed.
…
The Equipment Department was located at the far west end of the villa district, backed by towering cliffs, somewhat secluded.
It was a hemispherical building, and from afar, one could hear the roaring noise coming from inside.
"Li, fetch me a number five rune pen, hurry!"
"Huang, move this pile of iron materials to the compressor over there."
"Li, press switch number three... now press switch number five, that's good, close the blue valve."
"Huang, open the switch above and close the one below..."
The entire Equipment Department resembled a mechanical factory filled with various types of equipment.
Naturally, all of them were rune equipment.
Although Kevin had brought almost no equipment when he arrived in this world, as an Equipment Manufacturing Master, with just materials at hand, he could set up his workshop in minutes.
It was once said that given enough materials and time, a manufacturing master could assemble an army with bare hands.
This hemispherical building, except for the main structure built by Tang Yu, was filled with machinery solely manufactured by Kevin.
It had taken on the appearance of a mechanical factory.
Apart from being a bit noisy... there seemed to be no other issues.
At that moment,
after the equipment was produced,
Kevin tied his long beard behind his neck, focused intently on the equipment before him, holding a two-rune type B pen, fine-tuning the runes engraved on the shield.
As an Equipment Manufacturing Master, Kevin followed a strict workflow.
First, he designed the equipment blueprint, then created a prototype. Following that, he would perform adjustments and tests to find the optimal data, and finally, he would revise the blueprint to achieve the best results.
The creation of equipment relied on the diverse machinery within the Equipment Department, and Kevin only needed to oversee everything, having moved past the era of physically forging equipment.

It was only during the final stage of rune calibrations that he needed to personally get involved.
This was the confidence of an advanced rune master; by adjusting runes with his own hands, he could deeply understand the effects of the runes.
Soon after, Kevin put away his rune pen, nodding in satisfaction.
Although it was merely a two-rune piece of equipment, it stood at the pinnacle among such items. This time, it was an exceptional performance.
Only then did he notice Eileen and others waiting outside the door.
Kevin opened the door of the Equipment Department, not forgetting to instruct his two assistants to send the shield for the final inspection process. "Minister Eileen, may I know the purpose of your visit?"
Eileen stated her purpose.
Kevin glanced at Yang Yuanping, "What kind of long spear do you need, type, length, weight..."
Without hesitation, Yang Yuanping rattled off the specifications, then asked, "Master, how long would it take to manufacture such a piece of equipment? Could it be completed within a day?"
He could only stay in Green Shadow for one day. If creating a custom weapon required several days, he would have to reluctantly abandon the idea.
After all, although such a sharp weapon appeared no different from ordinary cold weapons, Yang Yuanping believed its essence was unique. He was unsure how much time it would need, but it certainly wouldn't be brief.
He then heard the white-bearded master scoff, "One day? You underestimate me! An ordinary piece of equipment that couldn't be more mundane; I can get it done in three minutes, not a moment longer!"
"Three... three minutes? That fast!"
Kevin didn't even bother responding.
He had Huang and Li bring over the tools and swiftly began to sketch on paper.
His pen moved as fluidly as a dragon and as smoothly as flowing clouds; the design of a long spear emerged on the paper.
As an equipment design blueprint, the drawing wasn't like an artist's painting. The spear on the blueprint was divided into segments with critical parts marked with data, some areas enlarged to outline the rune nodes.
While drawing the blueprint, Kevin didn't shy away from the people nearby.
Yang Yuanping widened his eyes in awe, perceiving what was before him as an abstract painting, and the others beside him felt the same, befuddled by the sight.
Yet, such an abstract masterpiece was drawn in just one minute, which seemed quite profound.
While they couldn't understand it, it looked incredibly impressive.
