"This..."

Li Cheng’s eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on the scroll, learning the skill.

Instantly, a strange feeling surged through his heart. He instinctively picked up a pencil from the table, and suddenly a vast amount of knowledge appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

Wrist-picking Neck-stabbing, Thrusting the Chest and Back, Wrist Guard and Back Stabbing, Hanging Leg Stabbing Belly, Rib Striking Throat Poking, Wrist Guard Throat Stab, Face Smacking Eye Poke...

Hundreds and thousands of martial arts skills using a pencil as a weapon clearly manifested before his eyes,

Li Cheng was very certain, even if all his body enhancements were reset to zero, he could still kill three people and walk away like nothing happened with just a pencil in a bar.

"It’s not just the brain that loads the skill, the body itself instantly acquires the corresponding muscle memory. Just like a master who’s been practicing for decades."

Li Cheng pondered as he flexed his fingers, the pencil spun nimbly between his five fingers, so fast it left afterimages.

Putting the pencil down, the muscle memory slowly faded away. He then picked up a folding chair, and new martial arts accomplishments were instantly generated again.

Smash, Pound, Knock, Block, Clamp, Pinch...

Li Cheng felt invigorated, with a playful heart, he picked up the stapler, keyboard, power strip, vase, table lamp, fridge door, one by one, and played around in the room.

"So this is what it feels like to be a furniture store war god, so satisfying and powerful."

Amidst the fun, Li Cheng didn’t forget to delve deeper and calculate the detailed information of this skill.

Apart from all kinds of weapons commonly seen daily, "Knight Never Dies Unarmed" is also applicable to Transcendent equipment like the Victory Flag Spear and Bat-winged Heavy Duty Motorcycle.

That’s right, "Knight Never Dies Unarmed" can take effect on two or more weapons simultaneously.

Completely feasible to ride a motorcycle and cosplay as Zhao Zilong of Changshan, making seven entries and exits in the monster sea.

The only limits to this skill’s cap are the user’s brain capacity, threading numbers of parallel brain functions, nerve response speed, and limb count.

"The brain capacity and parallel thinking numbers can be solved with the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method. And the more limbs you have, the more weapons you can wield, raising the skill ceiling."

Li Cheng squinted and thought, "Uh... Do I really need to acquire some mechanical limbs, or simply buy strong hands and feet, and directly mount them on during battles using the Assembly Puppet?"

What kind of Monster Power, Tien Shinhan, Gerek’s Limb Replacement."

The script task has just passed, and there’s still some time until the next task, not in a hurry.

Li Cheng placed the items back in their original positions, informed Gray Rain in the living room, and then logged into the killing field to visit the toy factory.

As soon as he stepped into the factory, the large spherical intelligent core floated over, exaggeratedly saying in a North Korean female announcer’s intonation and emotionally charged tone, "Honorable factory owner! The toy factory welcomes your personal inspection!"

Li Cheng immediately got goosebumps, feeling awkward: "Uh... Can you change your tone? With this voice, I feel like I’m about to get a third-degree burn."

"At your command."

The intelligent core’s surface lights streamed like they were searching the database, then in the extended intonation of a Republic era announcer, it loudly said, "In the past three days, eight hours, and forty-two minutes, the factory has integrated resources, strictly managed production, and made significant advances in eleven toy manufacturing projects..."

For real-time communication, Li Cheng specifically equipped the intelligent core with a networked computer installed with filtering software. These weird phrases were probably learned from the internet.

"Hmm..."

Li Cheng glanced at the product list presented by the intelligent core and quickly made some mental calculations.

The toy factory’s production time for a Perfect Level item is about 8-24 hours, 2-8 hours for Rare and Fine Quality items, and an hour for Ordinary items.

At the current factory’s operational efficiency, it can produce twenty items of various qualities per week, with an average net profit of around 200 Game Coins per item after deducting costs, which amounts to a monthly income of 17,700.

If he is lucky enough to refine a high-quality concept and create Perfect Level items, the monthly income could be even higher.

"A Level 20 player executing one task with all-out effort earns just a few thousand game coins, while this factory easily makes tens of thousands by producing some items,"

Li Cheng lamented, "No wonder those large organizations and guilds go to great lengths to recruit logistics players and purchase Life Skill Scrolls."

The most profitable business projects in the slum are all related to logistics.

Things like Forging (weapons, ammunition, armor), Cooking (which can provide buffs to Transcendents), Horticulture (planting and making Magic Potions), Alchemy (Extraordinary Items), Appraisal, Equipment Decomposition and Enchantment, Demon Beast Breeding...

In a way, bars, nightclubs, and KTVs controlled by the Evil Science Alliance also count as logistics services. Their daily revenue is like a nuclear-powered money printer.

Li Cheng closed the product list and casually said, "Report the current upgrade progress of the factory."

"Alright,"

The intelligent core said in a gentle voice, "Currently, the factory’s remaining Special Points are 21,732,

Among the main parts, the Crushing Room, Refining Room, Reforging Room, and Collection Room are all at Level One. The Analysis Room and Design Room are at Level Zero.

The factory’s Defense System and Employee Dormitory are at Level Zero.

At the same time, the Collection Room holds one S+-level, one A-level, five B-level, and twelve CD-level concepts."

To upgrade the factory’s Level Zero buildings to Level One, it costs between ten thousand to twenty thousand Special Points. Only after upgrading all buildings to Level One can the option for Level Two buildings be unlocked.

Li Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Which part do you suggest I upgrade first?"

"It depends on your long-term and short-term plans."

The intelligent core said, "Upgrading the factory body to Level Two requires fifty thousand Special Points, currently still insufficient.

If you need Extraordinary Items urgently in the near future, you can first upgrade the Analysis Room and Design Room. If not urgent, you can upgrade the Employee Dormitory first."

"Hmm? Why?"

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, "If I remember correctly, the factory’s Employee Dormitory is for external lifeforms to live in, isn’t there a risk of leakage?"

The slum has developed to a point where technologies like clones, Mechanical Labor, goblin servitude, Biochemical Transformation Beasts are quite mature,

Players can spend ten thousand Game Coins to buy a large group of half-beast slaves with brainwashing collars, and for a bit more money, buy fully armed, formally tactically trained strong Beastman mercenary groups.

If you spend even more, you can even hire something like the Astora Undead Legion, the Undead Army, the Steel Brotherhood, SOX... cough cough, forget about that.

"That’s correct, but you can create factory laborers yourself through the arrangement and combination of concepts. Usually, a B-level loyalty concept (conveniently available in the Collection Room) with a few other B-level or below concepts suffice."

The intelligent core introduced, "With factory laborers, you no longer need to personally handle the loading and unloading to the Crushing Room.

Excellent laborers can also serve as designers in the Design Room, optimizing product blueprints, making the final product more in line with design requirements."

Equivalent to not having to run back and forth yourself.

Li Cheng considered briefly and nodded to the intelligent core’s suggestion—it was indeed a bit troublesome to run back and forth harvesting every day.

Spending fifteen thousand Special Points, he upgraded the Employee Dormitory building from Level Zero to Level One.

As soon as the order was given, the originally overgrown and dilapidated dormitory area immediately glowed with a halo.

The weeds were all eliminated, broken glass was gradually repaired, and rusty pipes were replaced one by one.

"I have reset the external structure of the Employee Dormitory, the internal renovation is still undecided, depending on the species, body type, and living habits of the employees you want."

The intelligent core said, "If it’s humanoid creatures, they’ll need bed space for sleeping. If it’s beastmen or other enhanced versions of humanoid creatures, larger toilets will be needed."

"Let’s skip the humanoid creatures, Mechanical Labor is fine."

Li Cheng’s eye twitched, the more powerful the humanoid creatures, the faster their metabolism, wasting more time on eating, drinking, and excreting.

Some strong beastmen, beastmen, Giant Trolls, and Ogres are pure shit-manufacturing machines, with daily excrement up to 40 kilograms, more than a hippopotamus.

In contrast, Mechanical Labor that doesn’t need sleep, don’t need to eat or excrete, and only needs regular charging is much more worry-free.

"As you wish."

The intelligent core immediately went to the Design Room to arrange rough sketches, while Li Cheng personally fed various concepts into the production line’s input port.

B-level loyalty, B-level mechanical, B-level numerous, C-level hydraulic control, C-level chip, D-level Bluetooth, C-level network link...

All concepts were poured into the input port, the machines roared, and thick white smoke rose from the chimney.

Five hours later, the production line stopped, and the conveyor belt slowly transported a total of ten sci-fi shaped precision mechanical creations.

These mechanical bodies stood about 1.3 meters tall, had silver-white cylindrical metal bodies, trapezoidal caterpillar tracks, and three-eyed visual sensors on their heads,

Four mechanical arms extended from around their bodies, each with six axes, capable of gripping, rotating, moving, using electric screwdrivers, welding tools, cutting machines, and performing fine tasks.

"They look a bit like Prometheus Company’s industrial robots..."

Li Cheng thought to himself, each cylindrical machine’s chest was marked with numbers from 001 to 010, easy to identify.

Zzz—

The three-eyed visual sensors of the cylindrical machines slowly lit up, four mechanical arms swayed, supporting the body up from the conveyor belt.

Then, all the mechanical bodies stood neatly in front of Li Cheng, suddenly raised two right-side mechanical arms, and saluted at a 45° angle, shouting in unison from their sound sensors, "Xi! Hail!"

WTF?!

Even with Li Cheng’s broad knowledge, he couldn’t help but feel bewildered at this moment, "What the heck is this?"

Rather... interesting.

"...Searching the database, finding the cause."

The intelligent core rarely fell silent, after a while it said, "Found it, the B-level mechanical concept used for this batch of mechanical bodies comes from the V-2 missile parts produced in WWII Germany, the hydraulic control concept comes from the Mouse Tank produced by Porsche in WWII, and the liquid fuel concept comes from the pen of rocket scientist Von Braun...

These factors combined resulted in a slight error in the mechanical body’s understanding of the ’loyalty’ concept."

Damn it, what kind of German all-stars,

And this is a slight error...?

Listening to the cylindrical robots loudly playing the German song "Erika" through their sound sensors, Li Cheng couldn’t help but twitch his eye, "Can you make them change? This is too difficult to hold back. People might think we’re going to Poland."

"Should be doable; all robots are connected to the factory’s local network. I can modify their backend behavior programs through the network to make them quiet..."

The intelligent core lit up like a light bulb, a few minutes later, all cylindrical robots finally stopped playing Erika on loop and lowered the raised mechanical right arms.

Just as Li Cheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the cylindrical robots all raised their four mechanical arms calmly, forming the reverse-tilted version of the Buddhist icon.

Slap.

Li Cheng slapped his forehead in frustration, asking them to be quiet just made them a bit quiet... and they plan to head to Poland silently, huh.

"These robots’ source code has locked the absolute loyalty concept, making it difficult to modify in the short term."

The intelligent core’s tone also seemed a bit awkward, "The good news is it doesn’t affect work efficiency."

"...Forget it, as long as it doesn’t interfere with normal work. Be more careful next time."

Given the situation, Li Cheng had no choice but to wave his hand dismissively.
