Tang Shidao felt very strange when he saw that what was pushed out were parts instead of materials.
Based on the professional vision of a weapon refiner, Tang Shidao believed that the test this time was not about skills and abilities, but another thing that a mage in the network should have: knowledge!
For example, if a mage like Prince Zhou who lived in an ancient dynasty didn't do quests often and didn't know about magic craftsmanship, he would be fooled.
I am a person living in modern society.
The task is relatively simple.
For example, robots in scientific research, fighter puppets in games, and imaginative artificial humans in movies are all related to "robot puppets". It's not that they are real in movies, but I know about such existence through various channels.
Ancient people didn't know about robots, and it was very difficult to assemble one based on imagination. I already knew about it, so at least I wouldn't be confused.
A mission like Xie Tong's mission is not to trick anyone. If you don't even have this kind of knowledge, who can you blame?
On the Mage Network, the clockwork puppet is the most basic magic machine puppet and the lowest level of production.
Under normal circumstances.
The weapon refiners all use magic energy instead of clockwork. Only in ghost places like the Forbidden Demon Land, the magic core robots will fail. Therefore, no weapon refiner with a little ability will study clockwork all the time.
When Puppet.Xie Tong gives such a task, it doesn't mean to be disrespectful. On the contrary, it provides parts instead of materials, which is just a kind of difficulty.
A part is something that has been manufactured, and a material is something that can be freely modified.
The former itself has a limitation... you must use a fixed method to complete it. Of course, you can also disassemble parts, but it is difficult to say whether you can pass the customs.
Tang Shidao didn't think too much.
Slowly examine the pile of parts, looking for parts that might make up a clockwork puppet.
on the other hand.
The practice of controlling black flames has not stopped. This kind of improvement in force is more important than improvement in skills. Being trapped in someone else's competition platform, it is better to rely on your own strength than relying on other people's rules. As long as there is no shortage of force, no matter what the anti-mages do in the end
Don't be afraid of tricks. The current progress is that the black flames have been successfully simulated, but the two black flames cannot touch.
As long as they melt into each other as soon as they come into contact, it's considered stuck at this point.
A few hours later.
Tang Shidao selected some parts and slowly assembled them into a model of the "Working Doll Boy".
Submit, surprisingly...passed in one try!
There is no perfect reward, only a simple button to press down. Seeing this scene, Tang Shidao felt that the pit was getting bigger. This time clearing the level was a special reward, and the more knowledgeable the weapon refiner was, the easier it was to win. For miscellaneous knowledge
There are more contestants, this game is an important level for them to win food.
Unfortunately, I don't need food.
It was too easy to pass the level, and Tang Shidao felt that the "Perfect Strategy" was a sinkhole.
Now that I have cleared the customs, I feel relaxed now.
After dismantling the work puppet boy, Tang Shidao spent time reassembling it and assembled a model of the work puppet puppy. Submitting it again, the result was still the same, it was still a 'qualified' assembly work. It was successful the second time, but Tang Shidao was
His brows furrowed.
The difficulty in controlling Black Flame is that the road has come to an end and there is no way out.
The difficulty with Clockwork Puppet is that every path can be successful, but none of them is truly perfect.
Tang Shidao naturally did not admit defeat.
Xie Tong is just a dead man, why should he bow to such a dead man? With the improvement of the original black flame training, Tang Shidao no longer cares about victory or defeat, and the improvement of his force is his biggest gain.
Keep practicing.
Continue assembling.
Three or four days later, Tang Shidao assembled a puppet warrior again. It was submitted and passed the test. Not surprisingly, there was still no reward.
Another seven or eight days later, I assembled a beauty doll again. The efficiency was improved and it passed the test, but I still didn’t get the reward.
During this process of disassembly and assembly, his ability to control Black Flame has not improved, and he is stuck at the fusion step. Tang Shidao himself was a little surprised, wondering if his talent had reached its limit. He had already felt that,
Practicing the original black flame has transformed oneself. However, this kind of 'support' also has its limits.
It is the original power of the Dark Golden Crow, not your own... you must have your own things.
Think of this level.
Tang Shidao felt as if he was trapped in a fog. There seemed to be an exit, but he couldn't catch his train of thought for a while.
My hands kept moving in confusion.
He continued to disassemble the parts, and soon assembled the Gongdoll Kitten, the Gongdoll Bird, the Gongdoll Old Man, and the Gongdoll Old Lady. Unknowingly, Tang Shidao felt that there were too many parts, so he made two Gongdolls at once.
Little boy and little girl.
This moment.
Tang Shidao shuddered, as if he saw a glimmer of light in the fog.
Old man, old woman, samurai, beauties, boys and girls, puppies, kittens, birds... Isn't this a family photo of grandparents, parents, children, pets, cats, dogs and birds? Could this be the answer to the mystery, the real trap set by the evil pupil?
Then count the parts.
not enough!
Far from enough!
All the materials on the table are barely enough to assemble 70% of the total. In other words, adults and children have to be missing one, or kittens, puppies, etc. At this point, Tang Shidao didn't think too much and worked hard to piece together Dad.
Family with mother, child and pets.
Submit, qualified...but no reward.
"This is wrong." Tang Shidao shook his head. He didn't want a pet or a child, so he submitted it and still passed the exam without receiving any reward.
At this time Tang Shidao stopped.
I thought to myself, this is definitely a huge pitfall. It is easy to pass the level, but it is too difficult to be perfect.
I don’t want to think about the puppets for the moment.
Tang Shidao once again activated the original black flame, slowly forming a square block. This had been done before, but the combination just now gave Tang Shidao an opportunity: perfection does not mean perfection, and previous success does not mean perfect harvest.
The flames turned into cubes, which was not what I wanted.
slowly.
Tang Shidao experimented with the compression of black flames, transforming into a pure block without fire. At this moment, Tang Shidao believed that adding black flames to black flames is like adding water to water. It will definitely blend. There is only one way to make water not melt and water
One way: turn it into ice!
Now I need the 'hard' original black flame.
This is also a different path from the Dark Golden Crow, a new direction that I have developed.
However.
Success is not that easy.
Black flame is black flame, and fire is fire. It is very difficult to turn it into a solid state. Just like there are only parts for a family of four, it is impossible to assemble a family of six. Send another material? Of course, you can.
A family of eight has made it. But will it get perfect reviews? Absolutely not! Not to mention Xie Tong’s dissatisfaction, I don’t think it’s a success.
Cannot assemble.
Even solidifying black flames won't work.
Tang Shidao found a new road, but was also blocked by this road full of thorns.
Effort does not mean success, and inspiration does not mean success. Even if the two are added together, there may be a lack of a factor called luck. Tang Shidao did not stop, because he knew that waiting would never succeed. Take one more step, no, take half a step more.
It's better than staying put.
If the experiment fails in one day, use two days.
If the experiment fails in two days, use three days.
There is no turning back for a strong person to practice this kind of thing. Turning back is equal to failure, and failure is equal to giving up on oneself. In adversity, there is nothing more tragic than giving up on oneself. Tang Shidao believes that the Master Network gives everyone a platform, but it will not support them.
You walk. If you want to learn to run, you must not be afraid of falling.
Ten days, twenty days. One month, two months...
Time kept passing like this, and Tang Shidao still didn't make any progress.
only.
Maybe God will always favor those who work so hard.
More than four months later, an accident occurred during assembly. Tang Shidao accidentally burned off an arm of the puppet warrior. The original black flame was so powerful that the mere metal parts did not even have a chance to be rescued and turned directly into
The smoke flew away. Tang Shidao smiled bitterly, looked up at the warrior who was missing an arm, and was stunned.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with a samurai who is missing an arm.
This opportunity.
Tang Shidao did not rush to assemble and modify it, but thinned the black flame on the palm of his hand and turned it into a piece of paper... If the square could not be solidified, he would lower the difficulty and turn it into a piece of paper. As long as the solidified black flame was
It doesn't matter if the flame turns into a needle. Tang Shidao just wants to turn the flame state of the black flame into a solid state.
This "paper" transformation took another month and a half to finally condense into a thin piece the size of a thumb.
With such a gadget, Tang Shidao almost wanted to cheer with excitement.
Next.
Return all the parts, get a complete one, and assemble it while continuing to control and practice. An old man who is missing a leg, a samurai father who is missing an arm, and even pets can be disassembled without an eye or a claw. In addition to a pair of complete tools
My dear, Tang Shidao saved everything he could think of.
The result... is still not enough material.
Tang Shidao didn't want to get a pair of children with broken legs and hands. Instinctively, he felt that this was the wrong answer. This is a family portrait. The old man can be missing, the warrior father can be missing, the beautiful mother can be missing, and the pets can be missing, but only two
Each child must be intact. Even if two children are missing an eye, it is meaningless.
The old man represents the foundation of the past, the swordsman father represents the inherited present, and the child represents... the future!
If the future is 'deficient', then what's the point of this family?
Tang Shidao didn't even need to try it with a child with a defect, and instinctively rejected this approach. If the future is bound to be unfortunate, what's the use of today's efforts. There is no way to go, but Tang Shidao insists on not turning around. While practicing control, he thinks
Ways to put it together.
quickly.
Caotan Heiyan changed from 'black paper' to a small black stick, and then from the small black stick to a small black square. After several efforts, everything finally returned to its original position. At this time, he looked at the two 'complete' workers.
My child, Tang Shidao felt that he had not chosen the wrong path. This was a path that the Dark Golden Crow had never walked before, but he had successfully made a start.
After solidifying a small black square, Tang Shidao began the most unknown step again.
Place another small square on top of one small square.
simple.
Stack one piece on top of the other.
Tang Shidao concentrated all his attention, carefully, more carefully, and gently stacked a smaller cube.
There was a slight snapping sound.
There was no fusion...the two small squares overlapped...the detective's advanced test was successful!
Looking at the two small squares, Tang Shidao smiled: "It really worked. Ha, although you are still as fragile as a newborn baby, I will continue..."
I am happily talking to myself here.
Suddenly, Tang Shidao stopped talking.
I turned my head and looked at the two work doll children again, and the word "baby" came to my mind for no reason.
Three seconds later.
"Haha, sure enough, the goddess of luck is looking after me." Tang Shidao smiled sincerely.
