Chapter 714: Chapter 529 Supplementing the Deficiencies_1

He slipped the Apocalypse Stone Ring onto his finger. The dark hue of the Apocalypse Stone wasn’t visually appealing, and Dusk’s item processing was quite standardized—don’t expect any master-level details. Yet, though lacking in external master-level details, the internal intricacies were something even a master could not achieve.
"Let’s go shopping first."
Ever since he obtained the Dragon Tribe Gold Card, he hadn’t spent much. It was Ahn Ke who had been spending money, while Katrina and her group focused on attending classes. After lifting some restrictions on remedial students, Eileena was able to maintain a state of necromancy with Wise Dragon No. 9, absorbing knowledge from it with incredible efficiency.
Of course, it wasn’t something that would show immediate results. To reap any substantial benefits, wouldn’t he at least have to wait one or two months?
Zheng Yichen wasn’t in a hurry.
"Boss, here is the memo." Lilith presented a memo screen to Zheng Yichen. Looking at the contents, he tapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about this. We should head to the shopping area first."
The Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce, well, Klakauska was here too.
"I’m about to leave. There’s still... twenty-two hours left."
"Hmm, twenty-two hours on which side?" the fire dragon inquired, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Of course, it’s Hazy City’s time."
"Time is a bit tight, but it’ll do. Wait for me for a little while, ha~" Klakauska pondered briefly and stated decisively, "After you get it, make sure to take good care of her. No matter what, she is one of my kin. Also, regarding hatching, don’t go looking for other demigods. If you’re in a hurry to hatch it, you could try using your own power, but that might have some effects on you..."
The fire dragon gave his instructions swiftly and in advance before he hurriedly left the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce. According to Hazy City time, it truly was quite pressing.
But as for stealing a dragon egg, it was all about a swift battle and quick resolution. Limited time, but enough to get the job done.
Zheng Yichen then began to shop extensively. The Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce had many attractive items, and given the high level of magic in this world, practical and useful tools were so abundant that it was almost overwhelming.
After selecting some items with clear purpose, Zheng Yichen’s focus on other items shifted to primary materials. He had thought about design schematics, but in this world, all schematics were tied to magic.
There were automated production devices, but those did not work compatibly with the functionality of the Universal Toolbox. To use the schematics from this world, they needed to be adapted.
Normal adaptation could likely affect the performance of the Universal Toolbox, but with Dusk behind him, the issue of modification wasn’t significant. He wasn’t interested in creating magic tool crafting equipment typical of this world.
Instead, he planned to upgrade the Universal Toolbox, envisioning that no structural changes would be needed, just an adjustment in the operational mechanism.
Since Zheng Yichen had a need, the head of the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce was very earnest in explaining those automated devices. Essentially, they were to make machine tools process materials following a designed magic array formation.
While the output was stable, there wouldn’t be any fluctuations in performance—it was the same principle as a printer.
With this understanding, Zheng Yichen knew what to do. According to the information provided by the head of the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce, modifying the Universal Toolbox was quite simple. Precision processing of the toolbox could achieve it, but the internal components of the toolbox did not possess ’demon possession’ capabilities.
As long as the internal processing components of the Universal Toolbox could be equipped with the capability for demon possession, it would then be possible to produce magic tools according to the design schematics.
The resulting items might not have the soul imbued by powerful mages, but their performance would definitely be reliable. As for improving their effectiveness, since there would be no issues with stability, the natural way was to start with the materials.
Moreover, Lilith was an exceptional and growth-capable artificial intelligence. After producing a large number of items, even designing new plans was a possibility.
Therefore, Zheng Yichen purchased several high-quality materials there. With these materials and Dusk to upgrade the Universal Toolbox, it would be able to produce magic tools without any change in performance.
In fact, the Universal Toolbox could already create items, but those creations would be useless—while the engraved magic array formation was complete, it lacked Demon Communication activation, making them just for show. To fully activate it, a mage would have to manually operate on it.
The head of the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce examined the prototype made by Lilith that Zheng Yichen had shown him, and the verdict was that the item was an excellent embryo, with very high precision in the built-in magic array formation but ultimately useless...
```
Thus, once this issue was addressed, the Universal Toolbox could immediately be upgraded to work on magic items, in addition to technological items.
After completing this minor upgrade, Zheng Yichen’s cost was merit points -2. Since he had already spent the bulk of his points, he didn’t mind the small deduction. The key was the increase in convenience. Following the upgrade of the Universal Toolbox, its internal components were now enchanted.
When processing ordinary items, it could now include a complete strengthening magic array formation. However, this was limited by the inherent storage capacity of the materials. Once the magic array’s power was depleted, the strengthening effect would fade, but the patterns could still serve as attractive decorations on the surface.
Furthermore, this strengthening also enhanced the motorcycle itself due to the energy absorbing material it was made of—in other words, the motorcycle now had a broader range of energy absorption capabilities.
The person in charge of the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce in Landen City clearly had instructions from the Dragon Tribe. When Zheng Yichen had Lilith record the design, he purchased very comprehensive blueprints.
With this accumulation of resources, his motorcycle was slowly approaching the sophistication of the super machines from the Cradle of Civilization, despite being of a different type. But with added magical power, this was now possible.
Where technology fell short, magic could take a shortcut to excel, and where magic did not reach, the Universal Toolbox itself could easily handle.
The mutual enhancement of performance and functions allowed the Universal Toolbox to make up for its shortcomings on a different level.
Zheng Yichen pondered whether he should delve into artifact refining techniques from immortals and heroes or fantasy genres?
He’d consider it later, as his current knowledge of Artifact Refining came solely from Liu Hongzhao’s world.
When he arrived at the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce, the internal space was empty, but when he left, it was packed full.
The only issue was retrieving items from inside, as Zheng Yichen could only reach as far as his arm allowed through the opening. For items beyond his reach, he needed to employ special methods.
For example, using wind to blow items out or other forces to suction them. A simpler method would be to dive in and grab what he wanted directly.
All these issues would be resolved once the engineering robot Lilith spoke of was completed. Originally, Lilith intended to create a standard engineering robot, not one with legs, but rather resembling a large spider, meaning it could handle more threads simultaneously.
This would allow Zheng Yichen to retrieve many items at once if needed.
But after another minor upgrade to his motorcycle, she adjusted the original design, aiming to make the engineering robot even better. A robot infused with magical power would be much quicker at completing certain tasks.
As for energy consumption, there wouldn’t be an issue; the motorcycle could produce a cord for internal charging while inside the internal space.
Then there was an additional discovery. Zheng Yichen had wanted to add a retrieval function to his noise pistol, and this feature had already been achieved with the earlier substantial upgrade. The weapon was now linked to the motorcycle’s internal space.
This meant that as long as he could activate the weapon’s transmission array, he could remotely retrieve the weapon. It wouldn’t appear directly in his hand, but rather within the internal space, which wasn’t a hassle. With an Apocalypse Stone Ring on his finger and an engineering robot soon to be placed in the internal space, he would quickly have access to the weapon post-retrieval.
Lilith’s previous concerns about losing items no longer needed serious consideration. At that time, Lilith hadn’t completely grasped the enhanced new features. While Zheng Yichen shopped at the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce, Lilith was already perfecting the new features’ range of use.
Generally speaking, items linked to the internal space transport array were hard to lose unless the opponent had a way to block this linkage. Otherwise, if someone tried to infiltrate one-sidedly and provided enough power to open the transport array, Zheng Yichen could also use the linked transport array in the internal space to jump through and attack the aggressor.
Moreover, physically retrieving lost linked items was possible unless the opponent had the capacity to block this type of linkage. The item could be directly retrieved through the transport array. These linked items were not spatial tools; they were merely vessels. The transport array wouldn’t open too far from the linked item, but as long as it opened where the linked item could fall, that item would automatically "return" to the internal space.
Having the engineering robot reach in through the opened transport array to retrieve items was also feasible. Additionally, all linked items were guaranteed in quality by the Apocalypse Stone, making them unlikely to be lost unless they were out of signal range or left in another world. Otherwise, retrieval was quite straightforward.
Realizing this, Zheng Yichen felt he could be more liberal in using the noise pistol in the future. He didn’t have to treat the noise pistol as a mere unexpected control tool, worrying about throwing it and being unable to reuse it in the ensuing battle.
With the issue of retrieving thrown objects in battle resolved, he gained yet another long-distance tactic.
