Chapter 919: Chapter 432: Puppetmaster Johnny, The Great Enlightenment from Another World_2

[Speaking of which, Coleman’s voice gradually lowered as it realized its request again violated the principle of ’equivalent exchange’.]

[Faced with such a death cycle, Coleman seemed to have thought of a solution and suddenly slapped his forehead, taking out a strangely shaped small object.]

[The object was a miniature doll, extremely delicately carved.]

[’Puppetmaster Johnny’s Token’ (Special Item): Possessing this token, find Puppetmaster Johnny, and he will fulfill one request unconditionally.]

[Coleman told you that its ’device manufacturing skills’ weren’t sufficient to meet the requirements of ’equivalent exchange’, but perhaps ’Puppetmaster Johnny’ could.]

[More than twenty years ago, Master Johnny’s manufacturing skills had reached the pinnacle among mortals, just a hair’s breadth away from creating a refined copper doll that far surpassed Demigod level.]

[Now, after so many years, if nothing unexpected had happened, it’s assumed that ’Master Johnny’ has surpassed legend and become an immortal craftsman.]

[True God’s messenger, as long as you take this token to the Imperial City to find the reclusive ’Master Johnny’, he will create a mighty powerful doll for you.]

[Saying this, Coleman looked at you with expectation...]

[Do you wish to agree to this ’equivalent exchange’?]

Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. Puppetmaster Johnny?

The refined copper doll ’Battle Angel - Valkyrie’ was a Summoned Creature obtained in Chapter Four, and at that time, the Valkyrie was formidable, capable of soloing a BOSS.

However, as the game progressed, the Epic+ level Valkyrie gradually became outdated, used merely as a tool for luring enemies with an ’Abyss Lantern’ or as a walking base for the ’Cage of the Stars’.

It wasn’t just the Valkyrie that was falling behind, even the Legend+ level great demon Nine-tailed Fox was showing signs of declining compatibility with the environment.

It wasn’t that the Summoned Beasts were too weak; it was that Lin Xun’s strength was growing too rapidly.

From Chapter Three to Chapter Seven, he had only experienced five canonical dungeon worlds.

Whereas a typical Apostle often had to complete a dozen or even dozens of dungeons at the same difficulty level to advance to the next, which if measured by real-world time, the fast might take a year or two, the slow even three to five years.

If one’s talent wasn’t enough, facing a death cycle of stagnation meant they might never have the chance to advance again in their lifetime.

Compared to other Apostles, Lin Xun’s pace of advancement could be said to be like riding a rocket.

Therefore, it’s not the Valkyrie’s fault for not keeping up with the pace; it’s that the master is spearheading the path to strength alone, leaving no hope for others to catch up...

"Rather than creating another doll, it would be better to enhance the Valkyrie to the max..."

"After all, the Valkyrie has been with me for so long, and it has already become my shape, if not for its merits, then at least for its hard work..."

Faced with the temptation to enhance the Valkyrie, Lin Xun couldn’t resist and weakly pressed the ’Yes’ option.

[Seeing you nod and accept the token, Coleman was overjoyed. It patted its chest, promising...]

[This ’Puppetmaster Johnny’ once owed it a big favor, and as long as the messenger presents the token, ’Johnny’ will craft a doll with the finest materials without charging a single coin...]

[After speaking, it looked at you full of anticipation, for it had completed its ’duty’; now it should enjoy the ’right’ to enlightenment.]

Lin Xun was somewhat embarrassed.

This plot character had been quite good to him, and it seemed unjust to scrounge such a valuable precious token from him for nothing.

But enlightenment... the Knowledge god servant had never told him what the content of enlightenment was, and he was curious to know...

Lin Xun racked his brains, attempting to use the scientific knowledge from an alternate world to fulfill Coleman’s enlightenment from the True God.

[You pondered for a long time, and under the expectant gaze of Coleman, you slowly began to speak...]

[Next, you would conduct a holy and magnificent enlightenment for it.]

[But you would only speak of the enlightenment content once, and how much it could benefit from the content depended entirely on its own devout faith...]

[You set yourself a way out in advance, if the enlightenment failed, it wouldn’t be your fault, but that its faith was not devout enough.]

[Coleman looked serious and nodded repeatedly, pricking up its ears to show it was ready.]

[You coughed twice, then suddenly asked, in Master Coleman’s view, what are all things in the world made of?]

[Without hesitation, Coleman replied that all things in the world are made of four elements: ’Qi, Water, Earth, Fire’, each representing the combination of two of the four basic properties, which are Dry, Moist, Cold, and Hot.]

[Combining two properties will yield the most fundamental elements; for example, Earth is composed of Dry and Cold, Water is composed of Moist and Cold, Qi is Moist and Hot, and Fire is Dry and Hot.]

[And everything in the world first comes from the combination of basic properties into basic elements, which then interact with each other to form different materials and phenomena.]

[Device manufacturing studies, no, not just device manufacturing, but also doll making and all manufacturing skills essentially involve changing the essence of materials by mastering and balancing these basic elements...]

[Wrong! Utterly wrong!]

[Coleman hadn’t finished speaking when you interrupted.]

[You looked up, your gaze seeming to pierce the workshop’s dome, crossing the endless starry sky to reach a distant azure star...]
