Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Complete Version of the Divine Machine Cannon_1
The Divine Yang Palace.
A gigantic and robust Giant Spirit Guard stood silently in the corner. Although its offensive capacities were beyond ghost-level, its defense was divine-level. It served as the most suitable protector.
In addition to this, the Giant Spirit Guard had a unique ability - Soul Transfer. In times of danger, the host's soul could reside within the Giant Spirit Guard, swapping places with it to cheat death.
However, this could only be used once.
After one use, the Giant Spirit Guard would be incapacitated.
"Initiate the lottery."
Chu Yuan disregarded the ongoing turmoil and launched a random loot draw instead.
His previous two loot draws had granted him the Great Swallowing Technique and a one-time learning token. He wondered what good fortune this lottery would bring him this time.
Watching the lottery pointer spinning, Chu Yuan felt a wave of nervous excitement. He knew that acquiring random lottery rewards was even more challenging than garnering Destiny Points.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the Ten-thousand-fierce Tower through the random loot draw!"
Ten-thousand-fierce Tower: Unranked, used by the Ancient Dynasty for refining soldiers. Those who enter would endure extreme pressure on their soul and body, and once they can't bear it, they would automatically be teleported out.
The Tower is divided into nine levels, with the refining intensity increasing on each floor.
Chu Yuan received the Ten-thousand-fierce Tower from this lottery draw. Although it didn't have any immediate effect on strengthening his power, it could be used to refine his forces.
Earlier, his Divine Martial Troops had managed to surround and kill the Thunderbolt Winged Jiao that had nine divine abilities. Chu Yuan recognized the strength of a large battalion and wasn't disappointed.
In System Space, he saw a vast ancient stone tower. Next to the stone tower stood an imposing cannon that seemed to exist as a real projection, but was still lacking the final 20% of its construction.
"If I can complete the remaining 20% of the blueprint, I can build the Divine Cannon."
Chu Yuan felt a bit frustrated. He was so close yet the divine-grade quest had been interrupted. He had no idea whether a future quest would offer the remaining blueprints of the cannon.
This made his inner turmoil intensify.
"The host can refresh System Store to purchase the desired blueprint. The blueprint to construct the first-level Divine Cannon is a primary item, and the refresh difficulty is basic."
The System operation sounded out.
"The system store can purchase such items! So the Store can refresh to produce what I need!"
Despite the system sounding cold and robotlike, Chu Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart - this hint came at the right time.
Refresh!
He had to refresh!
Even though only 80% of the blueprint was done, Chu Yuan could already sense the steel-like might of the Divine Cannon. If equipped to his troops, it would be a war-winning weapon, capable of pulverizing any city wall.
He let down a hundred Destiny Points, but hadn't refreshed it.
He refreshed five consecutive times, but failed to refresh the blueprint of the Divine Cannon.
"Though the blueprint of a first-level Divine Cannon is a primary item, System Store contains countless primary items," the System explained.
"Continue refreshing."
He didn't refresh it once, and Chu Yuan grew increasingly impatient. Seeing only the final stretch of the construction progression left unsettled, he felt greatly discomforted due to his obsessive-compulsive nature.
"Ding! The host has spent a hundred Destiny Points on refreshing the System Store!"
...
Chu Yuan heard such notifications ten times. After the tenth attempt, he finally saw a small piece of blueprint appear at the bottom of the store - exactly the final 20% that he needed.
His hand trembled slightly, almost hitting the refresh button again.
Divine Cannon Level One Blueprint Progress 20%, a war weapon crafted by the Ancient Dynasty, requires 1000 Destiny Points for redemption.
"So expensive?"
Chu Yuan frowned slightly. After refreshing ten times and spending a thousand Destiny Points, he was left with 1700 points.
Exchange it!
"Ding! The host has spent a thousand Destiny Points and obtained the Divine Cannon Level One Blueprint Progress 20%"
"The Divine Cannon Level One Blueprint Progress is 100%, do you want to combine it immediately?"
The System rattled off.
"Combine immediately!" Chu Yuan commanded.
"The Divine Cannon Level One Blueprint has been successfully combined; the host can check in the System Space," responded the System.
"I wonder how the Divine Cannon should be crafted."
Chu Yuan opened the blueprint, and a wealth of information appeared instantly.
Divine Cannon Level One.
Materials: 100,000 catties of refined steel, 10,000 catties of Hundred Fused Steel, 1000 catties of Thousand Fused Steel, one catty of Meteorite Fine Gold.
[Note: If sufficient materials are gathered and placed into the blueprint, the Divine Cannon can be automatically crafted.]
"So much refined steel is needed."
Chu Yuan knew well, the refined steel was made by refining ordinary pure iron; Hundred Fused Steel required a hundred times of purification, Thousand Fused Steel required a thousand times, and though Meteorite Fine Gold was needed only in a limited amount, it was a core treasure found in the heart of fallen stars and extremely precious.
Except for the Meteorite Fine Gold, the rest were not considered rare, but the required volume was staggering.
"Though a massive amount of steel is required, luckily it doesn't need to be handcrafted by the forging master."
After seeing the remark, Chu Yuan's face brightened a bit.
"Hmm?"
Just as Chu Yuan was about to close the System Store, he noticed a grand ironclad battleship next to the Divine Cannon blueprint that looked imposing.
Armored Flying Boat Level One Blueprint: Used by the Ancient Dynasty to carry soldiers, capable of flying and sailing. Its body can resist the blow of the Divine Cannon, and requires 5000 Destiny Points for exchange.
"5000 Destiny Points!" Chu Yuan shook his head. "I don't have that many Destiny Points now, but there's no need to close this page in the System Store."
"Eunuch Wei, order the Ministry of Works to send the items I require to the Royal Palace," commanded Chu Yuan.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Wei accepted the decree obediently.
After looking over the material list in the decree, the corner of Eunuch Wei's mouth twitched. He wondered what the Emperor was doing recently. He had previously asked for so many medicinal materials, and now he needed so much refined steel.
Did he plan on mastering Alchemy and Artifact Refining?
Although he was puzzled, he didn't delay executing his orders.
About two hours later, a large number of steel materials were delivered to the Royal Palace.
Seeing these resources, Chu Yuan waved his hand, and all of them disappeared into the System Space.
The crafting of the Divine Cannon went quickly. In less than an hour, a gigantic iron beast appeared before Chu Yuan. The cannon was tens of meters wide, and the barrel was over ten meters long.
The Divine Cannon was jet black all over and emitted a severe murderous aura under the reflection of sunshine.
This cannon could only be loaded in one way, that is, by using pure crystals mined from magical crystal veins.
Divine Cannon (Level One), with a range of within a hundred li, and the most significant destructive power within fifty li.
"I can't test the power of the Divine Cannon inside the Royal Palace. Just right, I was planning to send the Ten-thousand-fierce Tower to Divine Martial Camp too. I can let the soldiers further refine themselves there," Chu Yuan thought, eager to launch the cannon immediately.
As he was about to leave, he said to Eunuch Wei, "Order the Ministry of Works to get me as much refined steel as possible. If there is a shortage of blacksmiths, then gather them nationwide. Go!"
