The next few days were quite leisurely for Ed, and the Detectives' miracle usually received no commission. This may be thanks to its weird location:

Rich people rarely make special trips to the East District, while poor people cannot afford private detectives.

But Ed was happy to see that he was successful. At least he had a lot of leisure in his work. If he seemed so comfortable every day, he could work in this job until he died of old age.

Time is almost the full moon, and his gem facet skills are becoming more and more exquisite. It is enough to treat Catalina's crystalline malignant disease.

Early that morning, Ed cleaned the floor as usual, and the voice of a newspaper boy came from outside the door on time:

"Sir! Newspaper!"

Mr. Eaton subscribes to a large number of newspapers, and newspaper boys come to deliver newspapers every morning. One of Ed's daily tasks is to collect the possible valuable news and make it into clip-on newspapers.

If you think about it carefully, this is really a good idea. The reporters raised by the newspaper searched for the smell of gossip news every moment like flies, but they are much more dedicated than the police.

He took the newspaper, gave the newspaper boy a penny change, and then closed the door and started reading the newspaper. The front page was almost all clichés, but a piece of news at the corner of the second page caught his attention:

[Beast Attack: On the evening of March 25, a citizen found a street girl's body in an alley in Oak Moss Street, East District. The body was torn and accompanied by multiple gnawing marks. It was suspected that it was attacked by a large beast. At present, the accident has been handed over to the East District police.]

It doesn't sound as simple as a circus animal escaping...

Ed picked up the scissors, carefully and neatly cut the content and posted it on the briefing.

After he had processed the remaining newspapers and completed his daily newspaper clipping work, Ed swept the remaining newspaper confetti into the trash can and looked at the "Overview of the Hard-Shift Airship Layout" found on Arthur's bookshelf.

Arthur's bookshelf contains many such academic books. He is bored when he is idle. He has been reading this book for two days and is about to end...

etc?

When I opened the last page, there was a thin stack of folded drawings stuffed on the inside of the back cover.

Ed held his breath and carefully pulled out the drawings, for fear of accidentally tearing a corner.

The drawings are also covered with the Royal Society's golden apple seal. The contents are the design drawings of the one-eyed spider and several corresponding upgrade plans, including a bounce device, abdomen tool set, and even an audio processing module.

As long as you have enough materials and parts, you can further upgrade the one-eyed spider.

Silvi suddenly appeared on the back cover:

[I didn't expect that guy would even leave such a good thing behind. Which module do you plan to upgrade first?]

"You said it seems that you can complete the modification now..."

Ed looked dissatisfied. For precision devices like the one-eyed spider, the parts must be processed by lathes to achieve sufficient accuracy.

Even if you hold a blueprint in your hand, without advanced lathes, metal raw materials and professional training, you can't transform the upgraded components into magic, right?

Advanced lathes and processing technology are controlled by the Royal Society, and even internal use requires submission of applications, let alone "idle people" like him.

[I have a way to make upgraded components without using lathes. Do you still remember the ritual instrument called "Dream Catching Net"?]

"Of course I remember."

[Why don't you try to take it into your dreams for processing? As long as there are raw materials.]

Processing in dreams...

Ed recalled the scene where he used the strange white flame to carve the facets of gems. Yes, if the white flame could carve gems, how could it be that carved parts of the one-eyed spider?

Thinking of this, he immediately started to rub his hands.

However, high-quality dream catcher needs good materials: phantom moth silk, rainbow parrot's tail feather, sterling silver ring, gem pendant... These materials are also something you can't get in a short time.

Things fell into a vicious cycle for a moment.

[If it is just copper parts, the strength requirements for dream catcher nets are not so strict. You can use the cheapest material to replace it.]

Replace with cheap materials?

Ed calculated that silk could be replaced by cotton thread, the tail feather of the rainbow parrot was replaced with pigeon feathers, and the ring was wrapped with thick copper wire for several more circles. As for the gem pendant, it was not possible to tie a perforated coin and hang it on it.

As long as it can be used, it will be decided like this!

...

Five hours later, Arthur's room...

Ed sat cross-legged, looking at the crude mesh-shaped weaving ring in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

I said...Is this thing really useful?

The things in his hand are more like the broken copper and iron in the beggar's hand than "dream catcher". Although there is no big mistake in the structure, the thick copper wire ring is crooked and uneven. When it shakes, it can make a crisp sound of dinging with the coins hanging on it.

【I think...it's better give it a try.】

Even with the powerful Silvi, it is difficult to give a clear assessment at this moment.

Ed took out the copper pocket watch and hung it in the center of the dream catcher as raw materials, and then entered a meditation state and returned to the palace of thinking.

The dream catcher really appeared on the desk of the debris desk in the dream room, along with the pocket watch hanging on it.

He took off his pocket watch and entered the second level of dream again, the mysterious realm of deep and quiet, as dark as the deep sea.

The white flame was activated, and the pocket watch melted into spherical liquid droplets under the scorching, and the blazing orange color was like a liquid fireball hanging high in the sky, tirelessly emitting light and heat.

Silve thoughtfully projected the design blueprint in front of him, and Ed divided the liquid fireball into countless tiny droplets according to his weight, forming it into components.

In this space composed of personal will, he can construct all the environments needed - temperature, humidity, pressure, light intensity, such as variables that are difficult to control or achieve in real space, which can be perfect here.

At this moment, every part was shining like a mirror, reflecting his black eyes.

Ed skillfully assembled the parts, put gears, and gaskets, fixed and calibrated with rivets. The slits were tightly sewn, and there was almost no error in specifications - this was perhaps the most comfortable assembly he had ever had in his life, as if he had been shaved off an apple peel.

After completing the assembly, he hung the abdomen tool set of the one-eyed spider back to the dream catcher network and immediately exited the palace of thinking.

I saw that the vein structure of the dream catcher network had been completely changed, and the assembled one-eyed spider abdominal tool set was wrapped around the center, entangled and intertwined like a trapped moth.

Ed was about to untie the cotton thread, and with a "pop", the dream catcher that was pieced together was falling apart in his hands.

The accessories hit his toes, causing him to take a breath of cold air, but fortunately they didn't break it.

"This is really cheap but not good..."

He complained, threw the scrapped dream catcher aside, took apart the shell of the one-eyed spider, and installed the brand new tool set accessories on it.

After equipping with this multi-purpose tool set, the one-eyed spider will have a series of damage and repair capabilities such as cutting glass windows, removing screws and rivets. If used properly, it may cause incredible results on specific occasions.

"Okay, the job is done!" Ed put the shell back and patted his palms with satisfaction.

At present, he can only make a multi-purpose tool set for one-eyed spider first: the audio processing module needs smoke crystal, and the bounce device needs higher-strength metal as toughness springs and power storage transmission gears. Neither of these two upgrade modules can be handled at the moment.

After upgrading the one-eyed spider, Ed kept the drawings properly and released the book "Overview of Hard Airship Layout" to its original location.

This is……?

His fingers stroked the book like a stroking a string, and suddenly stopped on an ancient book called "The Full Moon and the New Moon"...
Chapter completed!
