Chapter 315: Chapter 287 The Flag Lance

The boss is often an empty title; every day, as soon as he opens his eyes, hundreds of people await his direction for their daily needs.

Time has changed, and Li Cheng finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Returning to the real world, he first placed the stunned Gray Rain into the ice bath in the Three-dimensional Warehouse to prevent her CPU from overheating,

then sat in front of his computer, logged into the forum, and browsed the black market page.

The twenty thousand Special Points needed to restart the factory was no small amount. Only special items with a high concentration of entropy value could be refined into Special Points; ordinary artifacts just wouldn’t do.

For example, the Mayan Stone Tablet in the American Pavilion of the British Museum symbolized the extinction of a civilization and held significant meaning, but since the Maya Kingdom has little impact on the current world, the entropy attached to it had long dissipated.

Similarly, valuable items like Yuan Blue and White, Ru Yaogu Porcelain, and Ming and Qing Jade Seals also do not possess high entropy values.

As for houses, cars, watches, and jewelry, they were even less worth mentioning.

Li Cheng registered several small accounts on the player forum, contacting brokers and private collectors.

The world is vast and full of wonders; some private collectors have a considerable amount of quirky and strange artifacts,

such as Marilyn Monroe’s dress, Kennedy’s autopsy report, Newton’s manuscripts, Oppenheimer’s notes, Tiger Tanks, V1 missiles, and paintings by an anonymous Austrian artist...

US Dollars are the best broker, and game currency is the ultimate tool to open doors.

Li Cheng promptly recharged fifteen thousand Game Coins and acquired many collections with a relatively balanced price and entropy value.

A few hours later, these collections were stored at the specified location through the slum’s logistics system.

A very Hellish truth is that since the Soviet Union’s dissolution was just over thirty years ago and it still has a significant impact on the world,

Soviet-related collections are not only cheap but also rich in entropy value.

Li Cheng bought a large number of old badges, photos, Kremlin relics, World War II weapons, and even Cold War-era spacesuits,

then went to the Toy Factory and threw everything into the crushing room.

The massive machine in the crushing room rotated rapidly, pulverizing the collections down to particle size,

and through the refining room, refined them into Special Points.

"This refinement yielded a total of 25,152 units of Special Points, meeting the factory restart requirements."

Accompanied by the explanation from the intelligent core, the lights in each area of the factory gradually lit up, and the entire building complex seemed to awaken, emitting operational noises.

White smoke spewed from the chimney straight into the sky.

Li Cheng pondered and asked, "Will such a commotion attract outside attention?"

"No signs of life detected within a 10-kilometer radius."

The intelligent core said, "If you are still concerned, you can invest Special Points in the future to restart the defense system to protect the factory itself.

As of now, with the factory restarted, you have 5,152 leftover Special Points and seven concepts. What type of weapon would you like to create?"

"Cold weapons."

Currently, the firepower of the Avenger Cannon is sufficient, and Li Cheng also felt that his Mechanician Level was about to rise, which would further enhance the cannon’s power.

"In the Analysis Room, the concepts in temporary storage include ’Grade B Glory,’ ’Grade S Ideal,’ ’Grade A Steel,’ ’Grade B Will,’ ’Grade B Enemy’s Rage,’ ’Grade B Revenge,’ ’Grade B Home Defense.’"

The intelligent core replied, "The more Special Points invested, the higher the concept level, and the better quality the final product will be.

Now arranging all concepts and designing according to your requirements.

The manufacturing process is expected to take eight hours. Please wait patiently."

Eight hours are neither too long nor too short. Li Cheng returned to the real world and found that Gray Rain had returned to normal but inexplicably stood in front of the shelves, staring at apples, papayas, and watermelons.

He returned to the Toy Factory, brought a small stool, and waited patiently while asking the intelligent core more questions.

He then discovered that the Toy Factory, bearing the Penguin logo, had an abundant number of places where money could be spent.

Spend ten thousand Special Points to upgrade the crushing room from Level Zero to Level One, which could improve crushing efficiency;

Upgrade the refining room to increase the Special Points obtained per refining session;

Upgrade the analysis room to improve the quality of concepts obtained;

Upgrade the design room to optimize product blueprints to better meet design requirements;

Upgrade the reforging room to shorten manufacturing time and improve the "drop rate" of good items;

In addition to this, you can spend twenty thousand Special Points to restart the factory’s defense system or fifteen thousand Special Points to restart the factory’s collection room...

Everywhere requires recharges, and the number of paid points is as dense as unscrupulous online games.

Although Special Points come from special items and are not entirely equivalent to Game Coins, with good luck, you can find an item that yields a large number of Special Points,

but purchasing collections from outside still costs money.

Li Cheng roughly estimated that to raise the factory as a whole from Level Zero to Level One would require at least forty to fifty thousand Game Coins.

Subsequent upgrades would require even more Game Coins each time.

"Truly a black-hearted penguin, huh?"

Li Cheng rubbed his sore forehead, feeling his liver ache. He had fought hard for a long time, and it wasn’t enough to throw all the earned Game Coins into it.

The quickest way to quickly recoup costs, without a doubt, was to collaborate with large guilds such as the Special Affairs Bureau or the Evil Science Alliance,

providing the venue and equipment while the other party provided resources,

letting the factory production line operate 24/7, continuously producing products, the two sides splitting the profits.

However...

"The Toy Factory is not strictly a Hidden Room, but its value is unparalleled by any Hidden Room."

Li Cheng reflected, "Before cooperating with other forces, it’s best to improve my own strength to increase bargaining power during negotiations."

No one is guiltless, but those who harbor treasures are guilty. Even at this stage, when Li Cheng went to negotiate with the big guilds,

who knows if some guild officials, to show loyalty, would spring up to eliminate him,

then seize the Toy Factory and stuff his soul into a Level 30 Transcendent’s body, calling it "equivalent exchange" or "offering you an opportunity."

When lost in wild thoughts, time always flies. When eight hours had passed, the massive machine in the Reforging Room ceased operation, and the conveyor belt slowly brought out an old iron long spear.
