I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 687 - 171: Selling Humans, the Value of Scholars

"We're about to usher in a new era."

Thunder Hammer Duke felt incredibly excited.

To be remembered in history is the dream of every Divine Craftsman.

And at this moment, he was within reach of his dream.

The Human Race blacksmith, Xi Rong, had opened up an era, greatly raising the momentum of the Human Race and firmly slapping the already weaker Sea Race in the face.

Now, their Sea Race was also going to rise.

Though crafting Immortal Artifacts with this linear Three Flowers formation lacked technical depth and was far inferior to Xi Rong's high-level technological prowess that opened an era.

But regardless, it's opening an era!

Who knows how many generations of Divine Craftsmen have been researching these types of Magical Artifact factories, studying the source mechanism of Magical Artifacts—producing Magical Artifacts with Magical Artifacts.

Who doesn't understand the allure of full automation?

Who doesn't want to be a capitalist?

But various production lines, outputting Standard Weapons, were just less than satisfactory.

Before, the various major powers could only think of a production line factory as the "Ancestral Tomb Factory."

Combat-type ancestors went out on adventures to delve into dungeons.

Non-combat-type ancestors, in the ancestral tomb, were non-stop super labor models working 24 hours a day, forging, forging, forging.

Using Embers to operate idle, the blacksmiths thought of these families couldn't?

However.

The dead just lacked that trace of spirit.

The weapons they crafted seemed lifeless, without spirit, and tainted with a lot of Ghost Qi.

Thus, the quality was too low.

Advanced top-tier Divine Weapons would not be crafted by these Embers.

Therefore, these ancestral tomb Divine Craftsmen were more responsible for teaching the young, becoming the foundation of the family, rarely forging.

In the midst of the entire Imperial Palace, at the moment when all the leaders felt invigorated, feeling they were about to accomplish a grand endeavor.

Yan Shuangying, full of fighting spirit, with radiant brows, said: "And now!! Who needs an Ancestral Tomb Factory? We have our own more advanced...Brain Factory!"

"That Jiu Shui did those unscrupulous things, spread Pseudo-human Brain Flowers everywhere, formed the Earth Vein... scattering Xian's remains all over."

"We Sea Race, all our lives, are never inferior to Humans! We'll turn Xian's brain—the Pseudo-human Three Flowers, into a Brain Factory, forging every day!"

He wore a face of devotion, his countenance sparkling with holy brilliance, "May our ancestor, Xian, bless us!"

Next to him, Giant Shell Elder, Thunder Hammer Duke: "..."

This guy's words always seem to have something wrong.

But as conscientious fish, they felt guilty for three full seconds and reconciled with themselves.

After all, what he said made sense!

The descendants were unfilial; Xian was scattered everywhere.

Embers (body), Pseudo-human (Brain Flowers) were scattered across the Nine-State and Four Seas. Now using them to create a Standard Magical Artifact factory wouldn't seem too guilty.

This had become normal.

In the words of the Human Race side, respecting the old and loving the young is their traditional virtue; they respect their elders, and the ancestors love the young, and if the ancestors don't selflessly dedicate to the descendants, then that's the ancestors' lack of filial piety.

"Let's get down to business."

"Indeed, I've taken the items back for research!"

Very soon, they began a new research.

Even through the Teleportation Array, a new batch of Divine Craftsmen arrived, not just from the East Sea; now experts from the other Three Seas also joined the fun.

In just half a day, a large crowd appeared in the Royal Blacksmith Shop, starting to craft a giant National Guardian Immortal Artifact.

To rival the Human Race's "Sun Moon," was not simple.

Subduing the East Sea Dynasty was arguably the greatest forging order of all Divine Craftsmen's lives!

If successful, they'll be remembered through history.

If failed, they'll be despised by the Sea Race.

Everyone came to realize their ideals and ambitions.

The various family Holy Lands contributed a vast amount of precious materials, meeting every need and directly bleeding.

"You're here too!"

"Hahaha, of course!"

"Isn't this the founder of the Ice Cage Forging Method? You secluded yourself for so long, claiming to have completely retired from the field, not forging anymore, yet you came personally."

...

The Royal Blacksmith Shop was bustling.

While Bone Demon blacksmiths were helping, taking the opportunity to learn secretly.

"Sir, have some tea."

"Need a back massage?"

"Today at noon, the chef in our cafeteria launched new dishes, definitely delicious, let me take you for a taste."

...

The blacksmiths were helping out while frantically creating opportunities.

Some even pulled out cages containing Humans, sneering coldly:

"We just captured some Human geniuses, they've planted Middle Grade Spiritual Roots, even Upper Grade Spiritual Roots, sir, we can catch them for forging!"

The collective chatter among the Divine Craftsmen paused, their eyes turning towards these Bone Demons.

Where did they get the Humans?

Whoosh!

A blacksmith, with one heck of a knife, stabbed a young Human guy and kicked him into the Electric Quenching Furnace, "Humans, deserved it!"

"Ahhh! Help!"

The Human kicked into the Electric Quenching Furnace screamed loudly.

His whole body trembled, and he was swimming in the plasma, thinking that jumping into a fire furnace frequently made jumping into an Electric Quenching Furnace quite an experience.

The Divine Craftsmen watched the inhumane murder of the Human there, feeling a momentary anxious stir in their hearts. Though inhumane, they inexplicably felt:

This Human died so flamboyantly, how did he manage to swim before dying?

"Where did your Bone Demon Race get a batch of Human slave Scholars?" Thunder Hammer Duke silently asked, "That's a bit harsh, on our day of celebration..."

"It's precisely on this day of celebration, for us to forge Immortal Artifacts, we must kill some Humans, to raise the flag, have some fun," said a few blacksmiths.

Those "Humans" looked horrified:

"You damn Sea Race, you dared capture me here! Want to use us for forging, I'd rather die than jump into the Forging Furnace!"

"Darn it, you damned Sea Race!"

"Don't underestimate a poor youth! If I ever escape, I'll definitely kill all of you, and let the entire Sea Race be brothers in the Soul-Calming Banner!"

...

"Courting death!", "Just mere Humans!", "Bald Apes!" a few blacksmiths once again delivered beatings, tossing them into the Forging Furnace.

Under the silent gaze of the elderly, they threw a few genius Humans alive into the melting furnace.

As you know.

Almost every Divine Craftsman is a butcher.

Where do the materials come from?

Demon Beast materials, they must kill demons, dissect limbs before they can start forging.

The Sea Race's concept is relatively cold-blooded, whatever demon species forging is commonplace.

In their eyes, what distinguishes one person?

Humans are also a type of demon.

If Humans can use them for forging, why can't they use Humans for forging?

Using Humans for forging was acceptable among the Sea Race.

Humans jumping into Forging Furnaces is normal.

But this ruthless act before us was a bit extreme, as if their families were slaughtered by Humans.

Does this Bone Demon Race hate Humans that much?

But extreme as it was, some radical blacksmiths found it somewhat admirable.

Managing the Sea Race's state affairs spokesman, hating Humans so much, wasn't afraid of secretly colluding with Humans and selling Sea Race interests.

That's a good thing!

Just then, more radical ones appeared.

"Cough cough cough!" Daojiu revealed his intentions and said: "Esteemed seniors, we recently acquired a human trafficking route selling top-tier Human prodigies."

"As long as you wish, we can sell, every penny worth his price."

Daojiu began to show his true self.

This was their planned new trick, how to jump into the Forging Furnace, get materials like Spiritual Roots? Surely can't jump with you watching?

Thus, pretend to be Human slaves, jumping into Forging Furnaces wasn't out of the question.

They could still sell themselves for profit, achieving two goals at once, simply planned through.

One Middle Grade Spiritual Root was just the price of a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, but add a Human scholar and it's a different price, directly doubling.

This is the gold content of scholars.
