Practicing life skills is a very boring thing. It takes about three or four goblin mining helmets for Lu Li to upgrade one life skill experience point. It took more than three hours to upgrade the six advanced skills.
Advanced 180. After reaching this level, the Goblin Mining Helmet cannot handle it anymore, and it must be replaced with something more advanced.
Lu Li threw more than twenty finished helmets into the warehouse and marked each with a price of 1 point. Guild members only needed one point to take away the helmets. This was considered as a benefit from him to everyone.
Although the goblin mining helmet is not precious, it can be sold for at least a few dozen gold coins.
There were many higher-level engineering formulas in the guild warehouse, and Lu Li needed to choose between them. It didn't matter whether the things he made were good or bad, the key was to have the corresponding materials on hand.
The result disappointed him.
Engineering is the most difficult life skill, bar none. There are many reasons for this result. One of them is that it is very dangerous. You will blow yourself up easily. The other is that there are too many things involved. Making a goblin mining helmet
, Lu Li needs to smelt ore, which is the scope of casting, and sew leather, which is actually the content of tailoring. What's even more disgusting is that he, a thief, has to learn to carve engineering circles, which is something only inscription masters are good at...
The last thing is the formula and materials.
The Sword of Judgment Guild's warehouse has more than 400 casting recipes and more than 700 tailoring recipes, but there are only 33 engineering recipes, which is a completely disappointing gap.
Moreover, at least 80% of the thirty-three recipes were not suitable for Lu Li's current engineering level, and the remaining 20% of the recipe materials became a problem again.
The materials required for engineering formulas are relatively complex, and there are often associated materials. The so-called associated materials are additional things harvested during mining or medicinal collection. Mining is usually gemstones, and medicinal collection is usually parasitic fungi.
For example, the shotgun formula in Lu Li's hand requires a piece of red malachite. Isn't this a trap? There is such a thing as red malachite, which can be sold for platinum in a trading house. Who would make such a piece of rubbish like a fool?
Junk shotgun.
The only blueprint that had both materials and was suitable for Lu Li's use required Engineering 190, which meant that Lu Li had to level up another ten points.
The Goblin Mining Helmet is definitely unable to complete this important task.
He thought for a moment and gave up the idea of going to the trading house to search. He could imagine how poor the trading house's page on engineering recipes was. He might as well try his luck with that guy Shen Wansan.
"Engineering formula..." Shen Wansan responded in surprise: "Don't you plan to upgrade your engineering skills?"
"Yes, do you have the formula to support two pieces? We can discuss the money." The gold coins in Lu Li's backpack have almost reached the bottom after spending on upgrading the workshop and warehouse. However, he and Shen Wansan are old acquaintances, no matter how much money they have, they will
You can owe it first.
"It's not about money. Why do you have to study engineering? This is probably the most promising career," Shen Wansan persuaded with earnest words.
"Old Shen, do you think the game will design a completely useless life skill?" Lu Li did not explain, but asked: "Especially when this life skill is extremely difficult."
"Well, but at present, the project is obviously the least profitable," Shen Wansan said. Although he could not refute, he still insisted on his point of view.
"In a few months, I guess you won't say that, Old Shen. If you have engineering formulas, throw them over. It's not easy for you to do anything anyway." Lu Li didn't plan to explain so much. He wouldn't tell others about engineering. The future is so promising.
When everyone realizes the importance of engineering, he will probably be a master of engineering by then.
Alchemy is not compulsory to learn, because Lu Li has countless alchemists under his command, and there is also an expert alchemist like Tangyuan with sesame fillings; there is no need to rush to learn casting, as he has a casting hammer, which has a higher success rate.
Only engineering was the most important to Lu Li. The reason was that many engineering things would not be traded in the future.
Only what you make can be used by yourself.
"I have seven engineering formulas here. See if any of them can be used. Forget about the money. No one will want it anyway." Shen Wansan has a good relationship with Lu Li, but he is not so arrogant that he wants to take Lu Li's place on his own. When it came to planning his life, he gave a few words of advice, but when Lu Li was unmoved, he gave up.
Lu Li looked at the recipes he sent and chose two.
The dwarf invisibility device allows the wearer to use this device to obtain a short-term invisibility ability, which lasts for thirty seconds and has a cooldown time of sixty minutes. It can only be used in non-combat situations.
I'd say it's useful, but thirty seconds is too short, and it can't be used during combat.
Call it useless. In fact, many people are still accustomed to carrying one with them. Maybe they can save themselves the experience of dying once. The most important thing is that this recipe requires engineering level 180, which happens to be the most suitable for Lu Li at the moment. of drawings.
The only bad thing is that the main material of this thing is mithril.
Among the ores that players can currently mine, mithril is almost the most precious. It can be imagined that upgrading with this formula blueprint will definitely cost a lot of gold coins.
Another recipe is for self-exploding sheep.
The self-exploding sheep is more practical than the dwarf cloaking device, and has basically the same effect as the Ivey bomb. Players can command this mechanical sheep to rush into a group of monsters and explode itself, but it uses more materials than the Ivey bomb. However, there are still some problems. Some rich people use it to upgrade luxuriously.
The self-exploding sheep requires engineering level 190, which happens to be followed by the gnome cloaking device.
The other recipes were either lower than 180, or the materials were hard to find. Lu Li gave up on these and only chose these two. He asked Shen Wansan to mail them over and got them quickly.
The materials used to make the dwarf cloaking device are mainly mithril, then emerald, secondary moonstone, citrine, and fuse.
The production process only needs to be divided into two parts. First, use mithril and secondary moonstone to make a "clockwork synchronized coordinating gyroscope", and then add materials on the basis of the clockwork synchronized coordinating gyroscope to make the finished dwarf cloaking device. .
Lu Li now divided a mithril ingot with a quality of over 80 into five parts, one large, four small and five, and then took the large piece of metal and smelted it.
The smelting here is not to smelt it into a liquid, but to soften the surface so that the engineering circle can be carved on it. This is the main body of the dwarf cloaking device and the key to success, and it takes the most time.
Lu Li finished carving the engineering circle and then carved the four smaller ones according to different requirements.
After the parts are produced, the next step is to assemble them.
Five parts need to be integrated with certain runes. The runes engraved on each part must be connected with other parts. As long as there is any docking error, it may cause the failure of the dwarf cloaking device.
