"how did you do that?"
The alchemist looked at the steady-state clock in his hand that had returned to normal operation, and subconsciously asked Wang Yu this question with wide eyes.
"..."
Wang Yu didn't say anything, just looked at the alchemist leisurely.
"Sorry, my question is not about your skills."
The alchemist immediately realized something. It was extremely impolite and offensive to ask any scholar about the alchemist's exclusive technology.
"May I ask how much the repairs will cost?"
The alchemist wiped the beads of embarrassment from his brow and asked how much he would have to pay to repair the steady-state clock.
"Here's the price list. For a small problem like this, it's 100."
Wang Yu clicked on the price list hanging on the wall behind him. When the alchemist came in just now, his attention was all on Wang Yu, the "new person", and he didn't see it. Now that Wang Yu pointed it out to him, he discovered it. There is also a sign there.
"Simple mechanical structure distortion, 100, magic circuit problems, 300, other problems will be negotiated depending on the situation, if the repair requires additional materials, the price will be explained in advance, low-level material processing..."
The alchemist looked at the price list and chewed the contents in his mouth. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, because it was really cheap.
It's not that it's so cheap that it's almost free, but considering the standard charging price of a maintenance engineer, a profession that is relatively rare in Sky Machinery City, Wang Yu's side is much cheaper.
Moreover, for things like steady-state clocks, which are extremely troublesome to repair, most repairmen would not accept such an order. If someone did take it, the alchemist estimated that he would have to spend about 500 at least. As a result, Wang Yu Here is the simplest repair, which can be done for 100 yuan.
"Wait, how do you know that the steady-state clock is just a mechanical problem?!"
Thinking of this, the alchemist suddenly noticed something again. He immediately raised his head and asked Wang Yu, and then he met Wang Yu's expressionless face again.
"Uh-huh, I'm sorry, I really can't control myself."
The alchemist regretted it as soon as he asked. Why couldn't he control his curiosity?
Wang Yu didn't particularly care about his offense. Most of the alchemists and scholars in Sky Mechanical City were in this situation. They had an almost obsessive love for knowledge they didn't understand. Being unable to control their mouths was a common problem among these guys. Some guys Those who cannot control their own hands are in danger.
There is a saying that an alchemist is a young man until he dies. When he first enters the profession, he wants to touch everything. But after he reaches a certain standard in the middle stage, he will become more restrained. As he gets older, his skills also improve, and his knowledge accumulation becomes richer. I started to want to touch everything again.
"Here, what does the processing of alchemy materials here include? I do have this need."
After connecting the identity card in his hand to the magic network and paying Wang Yu 100 for repairs, the alchemist asked Wang Yu about his second business.
"Show me what you have to deal with. If you can't handle it, I'll tell you. By the way, what to call it."
Wang Yu bluntly stated his request and saw if it could be handled. Then he thought of something and asked for the other party's name.
I saw this person yesterday when Siege was selling dragon scales, and he was the first one to come today. Now it seems that there will be many opportunities to sell things to this person in the future.
"Just call me Isaac. Can these eternal frost stones be processed? I need to get semi-stable frost crystals."
Isaac took out a transparent container from himself. There were a few blue stones floating in the colorless liquid with slight bubbles. It was an intermediate alchemy material with ice attributes. The frost crystals separated from it had excellent ice elements. Affinity.
"The things you have to deal with and repair are all easy to get. Just wait for me for three minutes."
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows. The things that the alchemist named Isaac brought to him were among the best things to deal with. He immediately took the container containing the eternal frost stone and walked to the back of the shop.
About two minutes later, Wang Yu came out from behind. The contents of the container were no longer blue translucent stones but some snowflake-shaped luminous crystals, which were intermediate alchemy materials, frost crystals.
"you……"
Isaac subconsciously wanted to ask Wang Yu how he did it. He saw the alchemy equipment for processing the eternal frost stone placed on the counter outside. He thought he could watch how this person handled it, but Wang Yu walked over to it. It was done in less than two minutes.
However, after having been taught twice, he successfully covered his mouth this time and did not ask how Wang Yu did it.
"A total of three units of eternal frost stone treatment will be charged you 300 according to the price list."
Wang Yu handed the things to Isaac and said calmly, the price is fair and the child's sister-in-law is not cheating.
"No problem. The prices here are much cheaper than elsewhere. If I didn't have much reserve funds, I would still have a lot that I would like to deal with here."
Isaac paid the money to Wang Yu quickly, but Isaac still felt a little painful. It was well worth it, or too worth it, but he still couldn't control his heartache when he saw his savings going down little by little.
"There are some materials and alchemy items that I can't repair yet. If you think it's good, just help me promote it to people you know."
Wang Yu smiled and spoke casually.
Sky Machinery City is quite good. There is no so-called vicious competition with low prices. No matter how low Wang Yu sets the price, no one will come to trouble him. There is a unified saying for this situation in Alchemy Machinery City, which is called "technology". Not as good as human beings”.
"OK."
Isaac nodded, turned around and left the "eighth-level fitter shop". He really planned to tell his few friends about this fairly affordable shop, and those who were closest to it would get the moon first.
"Well... let me take a look."
After Isaac left, Wang Yu took out the endless pages from the void above his head, and then began to draw on them with a pen very quickly based on the memory in his mind.
The great knight-level physique turned Wang Yu's hand directly into an afterimage. The tip of the pen moved back and forth on the strange object of the endless page at an extremely fast speed, like a high-precision printer, gradually drawing an exploded diagram of an alchemy tool on the endless page. On the page.
The indestructible nature of the endless pages as a strange object allows it to withstand Wang Yu's terrifying writing speed. Wang Yu's IQ does not change as his physique becomes stronger, but his memory and three-dimensional perception are more than a little stronger, and his brain can fully sustain it for a short period of time. memories of violence.
In about five minutes, the decomposition diagram of an alchemy tool was engraved on the endless page by Wang Yu. The parameters of each part and the special structure on it were marked by Wang Yu.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this alchemy prop drawn by Wang Yu is the steady-state clock that Isaac just sent for repair.
The purpose of opening this store is to make money on the one hand, and on the other hand it is also to collect more structures of alchemy items and provide them to Wang Yu himself, Aviya and Sieg for research.
Wang Yu's analysis of himself was quite thorough. As he said before, five points depended on cheating, three points depended on luck, and two points depended on his own efforts. Without the special characteristics brought about by time travel, he would not be able to do anything no matter how hard he tried. To reach this height so quickly.
Therefore, he never avoids thinking about how to make good use of his "plug-in". The power of the chariot is part of this "plug-in". This commander's ability to transform external materials can not only be used in combat. Extremely powerful effect.
Rather, it would be better to say that the power of the chariot, manifested in the knowledge of alchemy, is a complete "plug-in", just like the eighth-level fitter on earth is to ordinary people, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
First of all, the power of the chariot is quite rogue in terms of detection. The alchemy creation with no life at all is equivalent to being completely defenseless to Wang Yu.
With the power of the chariot, the internal structure is already clear at a glance. If there is a problem with any component, it is just a matter of taking it over and taking a look.
And repair, with the blessing of the ability to command matter to change its form, has become quite simple. He can directly penetrate the shell to modify the internal structure without dismantling the machine.
Of course, what cannot be done on earth, in this world, through the hands of wizards and spellcasters such as magic fingers, it is possible to penetrate the physical shell and operate inside, but there is another problem involved, interference.
Witchcraft and spells will produce energy fluctuations, and most alchemical items have magic circuits inside, which can easily cause energy interference. This is especially true for alchemy items like the steady-state clock. Once the internal state is broken, the entire item will be scrapped.
The power of the chariot does not have this problem. There is no fluctuation at all. It is a modification directly targeted at the substance itself, which is ridiculously convenient.
If there is a knight whose inner potential is to penetrate matter and affect things inside, he can probably do it like Wang Yu.
But in the final analysis, it is still too rare for a knight without magic to be an alchemist. Even Wang Yu is actually just a "bad alchemist" now.
"Well, the structure of these gears is similar to those of clocks on Earth. They should have very good timing accuracy. With magic to maintain stability, the error will be extremely small..."
Wang Yu took the completed decomposition diagram of the steady-state clock and observed it. Even if the simple mechanical structure is very complicated, it is easy for him to understand.
"Snapped……!"
Weiwei threw up the notebook in his hand and turned it into nothingness. Wang Yu sensed someone walking into the store. It was Isaac who came with some friends who came here to buy dragon scales yesterday.
"Hello boss, can this ring be repaired?"
Among the people who walked into the store, one of them first placed a ring on the counter in front of Wang Yu and asked.
"Let me take a look first."
Wang Yu still said that you have to take a look to know whether you can practice it.
Picking up this fine gold ring with a high-quality fire gem inlaid on it, Wang Yu started to explore the structure with the power of his chariot, and then immediately came to the conclusion that he could not repair this thing by himself.
The internal structure of the fire gem was damaged, and the magic circuit created using the magic affinity of the fire gem itself collapsed due to some factors, and is now in a state of serious disorder.
Picking up the test pen on the table next to him, he injected a small amount of magic power into it to test the operation of the magic circuit. Wang Yu found that about 20% of the magic circuit structure had exploded, and the damage was severe.
"Is this the magic ring of the lava carving knife?"
Wang Yu asked after recalling the encyclopedia of magic circles in his mind.
"Yes, can it be fixed?"
The other party nodded in confirmation, but was a little surprised by Wang Yu's ability to figure out the magic of the magic ring at a glance.
"Hold on……"
Wang Yu didn't rush to answer. He definitely couldn't handle this kind of malfunction involving damage to the magic circuit. He was still a beginner, and his achievements in this area could only be described as tragic. But if he couldn't do it, there were still people who could.
Tap the perfect fractal lens on his forehead, use his mental power to transfer the internal structure of the ring that he scanned with the power of the chariot, and then pass it on to the other two people who are using the perfect fractal lens at this moment.
Aviya and Sieg, who were conducting experiments on drawing and engraving magic circles in the studio behind the room, paused their work at the same time and turned their attention to the structural diagram conveyed by the perfect fractal lens.
"The circuit here must have been melted down, right? The overall painted structure is very novel and worth learning. It is a magic circuit construction method that is very suitable for fire magic and is more stable than ordinary methods."
The girl and Sieg next to her began to discuss the structural diagram Wang Yu had conveyed back, showing great interest in it.
"Well, it's interesting. The repair is simple. Just reconnect a few magic circuits here. Yes, just these two. You see, once connected, the overall structure will be complete."
Sieg nodded and drew a few lines in the air with his fingers, indicating how to repair the damaged circuit to make it complete.
"No problem, I will convey the repair plan to Wang Yu."
The two masters reached an agreement on the repair plan. Aviya immediately slightly adjusted the perfect fractal lens on her right eye and conveyed the repair plan to Wang Yu in a picture.
"Done."
The picture conveyed in the perfect fractal lens clearly told Wang Yu how to repair the magic circuit. What he had to do was to make the magic circuit consistent with the picture, driven by the power of the chariot, and the internal structure of the fire gem was changed. Correction, repair completed.
"Ah? How did you...!"
The alchemist took the ring back dubiously. In his eyes, Wang Yu just stood there stunned for more than a minute, then put the ring between his hands, pressed it, and gave it back to him. What the hell?
As soon as the magic power was injected, a red micro-hot high-energy drill appeared at hand. He was stunned immediately, and then opened his mouth to ask Wang Yu how he did it.
Then Isaka immediately covered his mouth in time, but he couldn't let his friend be stupid.
After that, the alchemists began to ask Wang Yu to help repair the items. Wang Yu would either take a look and directly repair the broken parts inside, or stand there for a while waiting for the technical assistance of Aviya and Sieg, and then proceed according to the perfect Fractal Lens's guide to fixing things.
The one that stood out was fast, good, and cheap, and the alchemists present were stunned. They had never seen anyone who could repair things right away without using alchemy equipment.
But if it can be repaired and it's cheap, that means they are taking advantage. There is no point in talking and asking. The truth is that everything that needs to be repaired is repaired.
As this wave of people entered, more and more customers began to be attracted to the store to repair things. Wang Yu how to operate.
There were also things that Siege and Aviya couldn't fix for a while, so Wang Yu bluntly said that they couldn't fix it or asked the other party to come back tomorrow.
Generally speaking, most of them can be repaired. A small number of them are really not skilled enough and cannot be repaired. But without exception, the structures of these alchemical items have been recorded by Wang Yu.
These records became the food for Wang Yu and others to learn more, and their skills improved rapidly in this fast-paced practice.
And the reputation of this "eighth-level fitter shop" gradually began to spread among the alchemists in the surrounding area.
Some people died, but not completely...
