After Lin Xun submitted the ‘Ring of Shining Stars’, he received the highest level of courtesy from the Direct Gaze School.
When President Zhijing heard that he was going to visit Master Johnny, he not only personally took him to the 'Doll Manufacturing Factory' within the school, but also assured him that if he wanted to build a doll, the material cost could be paid by Zhizhi.
The school of thought is fully responsible.
【……】
[Look directly at the president as he leads you through each processing workshop and reaches the deepest part of the doll manufacturing factory. 】
[Master ‘Johnny’ is a short old man with a strong body. He holds a fine copper pipe in his mouth and overlooks the processing conditions of each workshop through the glass window in the high control room. 】
[The special eyes transplanted on its face, with the aid of multi-eye patches, are enough to see every corner and every detail of the factory.]
[If any improper operation or processing and manufacturing errors are discovered, its yelling and cursing will be transmitted to the designated workshop through the fine copper pipe sound transmission device...]
[Workshop No. 3! Yes, what are you looking at! It’s Mengsk, you idiot!]
[The speed of the cutting tool is too slow. Adjust it to 52,000 rpm and deepen the cutting depth by 0.02!]
[Workshop No. 16, Lawrence! Throw away your son of a bitch grinder spinner and get a new one!]
[It’s all worn out like this, can it achieve standard accuracy? Use your pig brain and think about it! 】
[Workshop No. 32...]
[For a moment, Master Johnny’s angry curses echoed through every processing room. 】
[Under its command and dispatch, the entire doll manufacturing factory is like a precise and rigorous fine copper clock, telling time accurately every moment.]
[Seeing the president coming, he threw the supervisory work at hand to the students aside, took a deep puff of his pipe, and said impatiently, president, don’t rush him, the new batch of prosthetic limbs has just been processed and sent to the Prophet Tower.
】
[That batch of new prosthetics can last for another month at least. The next batch of top-quality materials has not been delivered yet, so it has no choice but to start construction ahead of schedule.]
[Look directly at the president and explain to you softly, since the prostheses required by the prophets need to be replaced from time to time, and those prostheses must be made from the highest quality copper materials, it takes a lot of manpower just to collect and smelt the materials.
Material resources and a lot of time.]
[When the materials are sent to the doll factory, Master Johnny will not have much time left for manufacturing. If we don’t hurry up, the Prophet Tower will...]
[So it’s understandable that Master Johnny’s temper is a bit fiery. 】
[Speaking, the president expressed his intention to Master Johnny...]
[‘Johnny’ looked at you sideways and said, for the president’s sake, there is no problem in helping you build a doll. 】
[However, the materials and parts left in the factory now are of inferior quality and cannot produce powerful dolls...]
[‘Johnny’ waved his hand, summoned a student, and handed you the list of dolls that can be manufactured and processed now. 】
[You did not take the list, but took out the 'Fine Bronze Sand Hammer' and summoned the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' and said, "You don't need a new doll, you just need to strengthen it."
【Well...use the best craftsmanship and the best materials!】
[As soon as the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' appeared, Master Johnny's eyes were fixed on the Valkyrie. He circled around the Valkyrie several times, looking up and down until he looked at the Valkyrie awkwardly before he spoke.
[Tsk tsk, who did you ask to make this doll? The manufacturing skills are so bad...]
[Giving the same materials to its worst students to make, the quality of the doll can be greatly improved. 】
[The Valkyrie couldn't help but glare at Johnny after hearing this. Master Johnny was stunned and said in surprise, Huh? This doll actually has a heart of copper in its body? 】
[Sorry, I take back what I just said. Although the craftsman who made the doll is not very skilled, that person has tried his best. 】
[The president saw that Master Johnny had rarely restrained his fiery temper and sincerely apologized. He asked in confusion...]
[Master Johnny, is the heart of fine copper an advanced material? Why have I never heard of it? Can this material improve the prosthetic limbs of the prophets? 】
[Johnny explained solemnly that strictly speaking, the copper heart cannot be considered a manufacturing material.]
[Johnny has a heart of fine copper in his body, and among his dozens of proud students, only two have a heart of fine copper.]
[It has nothing to do with the skill level in cultivating a heart of fine copper. Only the craftsmen who are the most devout and loyal to the craft of doll making, and even those who devote their whole life and all their faith to this craft, can breed a heart of fine copper in their bodies. 】
[The heart of fine copper will replace the original heart of the craftsman. The fact that this doll has a heart of fine copper means that the craftsman who made this doll has devoted everything, even his own life. 】
[Although the craftsman's skills are limited, this doll is definitely the most proud and outstanding work in his life.]
Johnny's words silenced Lin Xun.
The person who made the Valkyrie was the puppet craftsman from Chapter 4 of the past, who specialized in making maid-type dolls, but it was the 'puppet craftsman' who sacrificed himself to complete the final step of strengthening with his heart of fine copper.
Recalling that tough guy, Lin Xun still feels indebted and regretful.
[Johnny continued, to what extent do you want to strengthen this doll?]
[If you only need the 'Legendary' quality, you don't need to add other materials, or even need it to take action, just let its students complete it. 】
[If you need to strengthen it to 'mythical' quality, although you need to add new materials, the required materials are already available in the factory, as long as it takes a little effort. 】
[As for if you want to strengthen it to a higher level...]
[You immediately said after hearing this, I heard that Master Johnny is an immortal craftsman who has surpassed the legend. Can you help you strengthen this doll to the 'immortal level'? 】
[As soon as these words came out, not only Master Johnny laughed, but also the president who was looking directly at him started laughing. 】
[The president of Direct Eyes takes the initiative to explain to you that the reason why immortality is immortal is because the soul and body have reached the edge of the boundary between humans and gods. Only when the soul and body advance and break through together can true immortality be created. 】
[Although the fine copper doll is a very magical and highly intelligent product, in essence, it is still a man-made fine copper instrument without a soul of its own. 】
[Master Johnny can indeed use the best materials to create doll bodies with 'immortal' strength. For example, the prophets in the Prophet Tower have fine copper bodies that are 'immortal', so they can be compared to those of children.
The body is more tolerant of disorder.]
[After the prophet possesses a fine copper body, he can still unleash his immortal true combat power while awake, but the prerequisite is that the soul needs to reach 'immortality'. 】
[Even if an ordinary doll strengthens its body to the strength of 'immortal', it is still far from being able to compare with true 'immortality' because it lacks the most critical soul. 】
Lin Xun felt the same way.
Because the 'Executive Officer' in his body column has the level of immortality, it is precisely because of his low control over power that his soul is far from immortal, so the quality of the Executive Officer's body has dropped to the mythical level.
"In other words, even if the Valkyrie is strengthened to the immortal level, its panel attributes will still drop to the mythical level."
[You ask if there is a solution. Isn’t it true that there has never been a doll that can truly create ‘immortality’? 】
[Master Johnny pondered for a moment and replied, It is indeed true. Even if its skills surpass all previous ones, it still cannot create a truly immortal doll. 】
[Unless the soul of a prophet is stuffed into the body of a doll like the Prophet Tower... This is not feasible, because the soul and the body are not suitable, and the prosthetic limbs need to be replaced one by one slowly like the prophets did.
】
[This does not work with your doll, but your doll has a heart of fine copper, and there is a very small chance that it can breed its own soul, but it may take many years. 】
[And even if a soul is conceived, it must wait until the soul reaches the level of a god before the doll can display its true immortal combat power. 】
[After Master Johnny’s explanation, do you still want to insist on strengthening the summoned object ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ to the ‘Immortal Level’? 】
Lin Xun thought for a while, I can do without it, but you can't do without it.
In case of any unexpected encounters in the future, the lack of protection can also give the Valkyrie a chance to truly advance.
[Master Johnny saw that you continued to persist, so he told you to leave this doll here and wait for the next batch of top-quality materials to be delivered. It will probably take less than a month. After the materials are delivered, it will be ready.
Help you strengthen your doll...]
Lin Xun frowned, a month was too long.
He had a premonition that the process of this chapter was coming to an end and the decisive battle was about to come.
If he had waited a month, he would have ended this chapter long ago.
[You asked, isn’t there a faster way?]
[Master Johnny shook his head and said with a businesslike look, the body of the 'Immortal' level doll must be made from the same top-quality materials as the prophets, and the quality will not be acceptable.】
[The last batch of refined copper materials has been used up, so you'd better wait patiently. If you can't wait, you might as well lower the requirements. 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, opened the inventory directly, and clicked on 'The Token of Johnny, the Doll Maker'.
[You took out a small fine copper doll sculpture. Johnny was stunned, took the token from your hand, and asked in surprise, do you know Master Coleman? 】
[You nodded and told it that it was because of Coleman that you came to look directly at the school to find opportunities to strengthen the dolls. 】
[Johnny stared blankly at the token in his hand, and after a long time he smiled bitterly and said, since it was Coleman's request, there is nothing to say...]
[It greets its students and whispers instructions in their ears...]
[The student looked surprised and blurted out, Teacher, those materials and parts are your private collection. Are you sure you want to move them all to the processing room? 】
[Johnny kicked the student's butt and said angrily, "Where is this nonsense? Go ahead if I tell you to!"
[It turns to you and says politely, come on, follow it to the processing room. By the way, tell me what your requirements are. It can be customized here to give the doll some unique extra functions...]
【……】
Johnny then listed a host of specially customized enhancement options.
For example, adding various attribute specialization modules can allow the doll to gain additional specialization improvements based on its original attributes.
You can also install specialization modules for designated weapons, allowing the doll to gain additional power bonuses when using specific weapons.
There are also bionic skin and organ modules, which can make the doll look more realistic and provide an excellent experience far beyond ordinary companion dolls...
Lin Xun was dazzled by what he saw, and it took him a long time to finalize the enhancement options.
[Led by Johnny, you wait outside its exclusive processing room and watch it enter the processing room with the bewildered Valkyrie holding a 'fine copper sand mallet'...]
[While waiting, you only see the master’s students pushing a cart full of fine copper boxes into the processing room...]
【……】
This wait takes a whole day.
It wasn't until the next day that Lin Xun received the game prompt.
【……】
[Your ‘Watcher: Battle Angel – Valkyrie’ has been promoted to ‘Exclusive Hero: Battle Angel – Valkyrie’! 】
[The quality of your exclusive hero ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ has been upgraded to ‘Immortal Level’! 】
[Due to the lack of relevant soul power, the quality of this exclusive hero has dropped to ‘mythical level’! 】
[Your exclusive hero ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ has learned the new skill ‘Twilight of the Gods’ (Immortal level)! 】
[Due to the lack of relevant soul power, the quality of this skill has dropped to ‘mythical level’! 】
[Your exclusive hero ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ has mastered the exclusive skill ‘The Leading Kiss of the Hall of Valor’ (exclusive skill)! 】
Lin Xun was extremely pleasantly surprised.
It was expected that the Valkyrie's level would drop to the Myth level, but being promoted from a Watcher to an 'exclusive hero' that I had never heard of before was an unexpected surprise.
Valkyrie not only learned a new immortal skill, but also learned an exclusive skill that seems to be exclusive to exclusive heroes.
"Exclusive heroes and exclusive skills...sounds awesome."
【……】
[The door of the processing room finally opens, and Master Johnny appears in front of you leading the brand-new ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’. 】
[Compared to before, the Valkyrie no longer looks like a fine bronze doll. Standing in front of you, she seems to be a living human girl. 】
[The fine copper wings on its back have disappeared. This does not mean that the Valkyrie's flying ability has been cancelled, but that with its 'immortal' body, it can fly with only physical strength. 】
[When the Valkyrie needs to move at the fastest flying speed, the flight specialization module installed will make the wings on her back appear. 】
[The additional strength specialization modules, agility specialization modules, crossbow weapon specialization modules and bionic skin organ modules you have installed are all available, and they need to be used in battle to show extra power. 】
[The Valkyrie comes to you, lowers her head and whispers, Master...]
[You can’t help but be extremely surprised. The Valkyrie has never spoken, so why can she suddenly speak?]
[Master Johnny held a fine copper pipe in his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke. You are lucky. When he finished transforming the puppet, he found that the fine copper heart in the puppet had strong fluctuations. This is the initial phenomenon of giving birth to one's own soul.
.]
[It adds a language module to the doll by the way, so that the mouth of the doll is no longer just a decoration, but can really play a role...]
[After spending most of its treasured materials, the body strength of this doll has reached an incredible level, even surpassing the bodies of those prophets. 】
[Although it is only modified and enhanced, this doll is different inside and out. This should be its most satisfying and outstanding work so far...]
[Master Johnny is surrounded by his students, and those students look at the Valkyrie as if they are admiring a perfect work of art.]
Lin Xun quickly opened the panel and checked the attributes of the Valkyrie.
[Exclusive Hero——‘Battle Angel-Valkyrie’]
[Hero level: 182 (this level is the same as the highest level of the apostle’s body)]
[Heroic skill: 'Twilight of the Gods' (mythical level): When the poisonous dragon gnaws through the roots of the World Tree, when the ship is built with the nails of the dead, when the two hungry wolves chasing the sun and the moon are swallowed up
At the time of the sun and moon, the dusk of the gods will come.】
[Using this skill, the exclusive hero will launch a devastating blow that can end the god at the cost of burning his own life!]
[Exclusive skill: 'The leading kiss of the Hall of Valor' (exclusive skill): The Valkyries give the deceased a beautiful kiss on the battlefield and lead them to the Hall of Valor, allowing them to become heroic warriors to deal with the gods.
dusk……】
[Using this skill, the current body of the apostle will be sacrificed, at the cost of permanent erasure of the body, to improve the body quality and skill quality of the Valkyrie. The highest body quality and skill quality of this exclusive hero cannot exceed the highest limit currently owned by the apostle.
