I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 134-3: Follow the Companion Valkyrie! (3)

[You step into the corridor and proceed to the next workshop…]

[A massive shadow occupies half the space of the workshop…]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist is facing the corner of the workshop, still muttering to itself…]

[As you approach, you overhear it still doubting whether its War Machine – Colossus is truly inferior to the Doll Artisan’s Battle Angel – Valkyrie.]

[Your arrival catches the attention of the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist…]

[You state your purpose…]

[Upon hearing that the True God’s Envoy needs components processed, the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist says it’s an honor and wouldn’t dare charge a fee.]

[You inform it of the detailed component list required to modify the Battle Angel – Valkyrie.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist pats its chest and guarantees that it will dedicate itself fully to crafting the parts. It promises that even without taking payment, it won’t cut corners, and every piece will be crafted to perfection. It urges the True God’s Envoy not to worry…]

[Would you like to hand over the Large Brick of Ultra-Grade Refined Copper *68?]Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.

A freebie!

The title of True God’s Envoy was truly handy, the Doll Mechanist waived the processing fee without hesitation.

Comparing the two NPCs, one was diligent and humble, eating grass and giving milk, while the other tried to pluck every feather, squeezing every bit of Spirit Essence from him.

He decisively clicked ‘Yes.’

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist accepted the copper bricks, pulled over several lathes with its remaining arm, and began processing…]

[Processing…]

The text froze at that point.

Lin Xun wasn’t in a rush and silently waited.

After an hour passed, the text changed.

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist has finished converting the refined copper bricks into the components you requested. Each piece gleams with a dark golden hue, appearing to be of exceptional quality.]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Spring (Material) *1]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Gyroscope (Material) *2]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Mechanism Core (Material) *5]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Bearing (Material) *15]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Gear (Material) *20]

[You obtained Ultra-Grade Refined Copper Linkage (Material) *25]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist tells you that if you need any further assistance, feel free to ask…]

After receiving the components, Lin Xun bid farewell to the Doll Mechanist and headed straight back to the Doll Artisan.

[You return through the corridor to the previous workshop…]

[A massive shadow occupies half of the workshop…]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan sees you and bursts into laughter, then asks if you’ve prepared the 500,000 Spirit Essence.]

[You place sixty-eight perfectly crafted components in front of it.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan’s laughter abruptly stops, like a chicken being grabbed by the neck.]

[It incredulously asks where these parts came from. Its colleague, the Doll Mechanist, has long since died. Besides itself, no one in Sophia City can produce these parts.]

[Faced with a situation you can’t bluff your way out of, how will you respond?]

[1. Honestly tell it that the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Mechanist isn’t dead. You and the Mechanist teamed up to trick it. If it still wants to eliminate the Mechanist, it should first obediently modify the doll. Once it finishes, you’ll kill the Mechanist for it.]

[2. Switch to the Knowledge-Seeking Smelting Plant Owner Shell and proudly declare: ‘I’m a born genius, naturally versatile. Processing a few parts is nothing compared to my Grandmaster Refined Copper Smelting Technique!’]

[3. Enraged, use the Shell talent Earth Form to enlarge your body, then shove the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan down, raise the Ancient Dragonfang Greatclub, and threaten to kill it unless it modifies the doll for you.]

Lin Xun thought for a moment and chose the second option.

Now wasn’t the time to fall out with the Doll Artisan.

Choosing either the first or third option might trigger a direct conflict. Even if the Doll Artisan still agreed to modify the doll, there would be no guarantee it wouldn’t sabotage the process, lowering the quality of the result.

[You possess the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking Smelting Plant Owner!]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan sees your transformation into the famous plant owner of Sophia City and shows a stunned expression.]

[After you boast about how challenging your forging skill is and how simple component processing is by comparison, it looks annoyed, but it believes you.]

[You take out the Brass Sand Maraca and gently shake it to summon the Support-Type Maid Doll…]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan accepts the sixty-eight components. After receiving your Brass Sand Maraca, it prepares to begin the modification…]

[You then produce a viscous fluid emitting a dark golden glow. The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan widens its four eyes and stands stunned…]

[You loudly claim that this is your latest refined copper material and instruct it to include it during the modification.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan nods, indicating it can, but there’s an extra fee!]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He opened his inventory and began a series of operations.

[Would you like to gift Large Brick of Ultra-Grade Refined Copper (Material) *2 to the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan?]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan accepts your last remaining copper bricks, then shakes its head, still not enough.]

Lin Xun sneered coldly and continued operating.

[Would you like to gift 100,000 Spirit Essence to the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan?]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan accepts your remaining Spirit Essence, then shakes its head, still not enough.]

He unequipped the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s weapon and clicked ‘Give’.

[Would you like to gift Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear to the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan?]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan accepts the lightning-wreathed, golden-glowing staff-spear and finally nods.]

[It lays out the copper components and Refined Copper Essence, then pulls over several massive lathes, grabs the dazed Support-Type Maid Doll, and begins the modification process…]

[Modifying…]

The text froze again, and Lin Xun silently waited.

Time flew by, three hours passed quickly.

Outside the rental apartment, night had deepened. He glanced at the wall clock, it was already past midnight.

[The Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan wiped the sweat from its brow and handed you the Refined Copper Sand Maraca, signaling the modification was complete.]

[You obtained Refined Copper Sand Maraca (Special Item)!]

Lin Xun was overjoyed.

He immediately opened his inventory to inspect it.

[Refined Copper Sand Maraca – Battle Angel Valkyrie (Special Item): A small shaken idiophone made of refined copper alloy. Its hollow head contains copper sand. Shaking the copper handle produces a lovely rustling sound. Engraved on the head is the image of a winged female doll turned away, exquisitely lifelike.]

[Use to summon your Follower – Battle Angel Valkyrie. Followers can assist in combat and also support outside battle. If the follower dies, 1 point of Soul Strength must be consumed to reshape and summon again.]

A Follower?

Not a summoned creature?

Lin Xun looked at the description, confused.

After a moment of thought, he remembered the important task.

He immediately summoned the Battle Angel – Valkyrie and issued the command, to kill the Knowledge-Seeking Doll Artisan!
