Chapter 676: Chapter 525: Erudite Scholar, New Bean Flour Oil Baguette

Chun looked at the blueprint, and sure enough, it was simple and rough, exactly the kind of farming version suitable for hand-cranking that he’d imagined.

"Thank you, President Zhou. I will start researching right away."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Brother Chun, no need to be polite. Take your time to study it."

In fact, Chun had already gotten inspiration from waterwheels or windmills. This hand-cranked powder machine only needed a chain to connect to the windmill’s axle to be driven.

But waterwheels or windmills are buildings that require bricks and other materials. No rush for now.

Chun first split the blueprint into over twenty components; these are the parts he needed to make in the game.

However, although the components were quite simply divided, having Aileen wish them out with the crystal, with no discrepancies in size, would be too much for her!

Better to just have her wish the crystal into metal materials and forge them himself.

So he contacted Aileen: "Dear, I’ve designed the plan. You just need to help wish the crystal into metal..."

Aileen replied, "Can I wish it into gold?"

Chun was shocked, "The crystal can turn into gold?"

Aileen laughed, "Of course it’s not real gold, and it’s relatively flashy. But as a Dancing Girl, this is the easiest thing to wish for!"

Indeed, this is the bitch law Aileen summarized back then: let a bitch make a dagger, she’ll only wish for a stick! So they’ll never wish for steel. Gold is their favorite!

But gold is quite soft, and fake gold... never mind, it’s not like it’s going to be used as a weapon; grinding some beans will suffice.

"Let’s do it then."

Aileen said, "I’ll bring down thirty sisters; they’re the most obsessed with gold, the most lifelike."

Ah, that’s exactly what’s needed!

A moment later, Aileen gathered thirty Dancing Girls at the estate warehouse and began wishing with crystals in hand. Under their mindset prayers, the crystals transformed into a flashy gold appearance, seemingly softer than imagined.

This... okay, let’s deal with it first. Someday, he’ll venture into some Martial Artist’s dream realm to get steel.

Finally, under the Dancing Girls’ heartfelt wishing, a pile of yellow metal appeared.

Chun tested the feel; not bad, the weight was right!

Time to send it all to the cake shop, melt it with the furnace, mix, cool... actually, it looks quite like gold.

Then began the crafting; the advantage of this gold is its softness, easily hammered with a kitchen spoon for molding; even if it breaks easily, repair should be easy...

Finally, after an hour, Chun completed forging all the components, but his forging proficiency didn’t increase at all.

He then began assembling; the process went smoothly. When the last component was in place, there was no special system notification. What? The system didn’t recognize it?

At this moment, the bean-harvesting Dancing Girls returned: "Master, the harvest is complete!"

"Great!"

Aileen teleported, instantly filling the cake shop warehouse with beans. Perhaps this is the might of the Divine Domain, transporting goods with just a thought from Aileen.

Chun tested the machine: "Let’s start grinding beans!"

With fresh beans pouring from the golden funnel, into the golden grinding disc, Chun pushed the golden crank, creaking sounds, separating the bean flour and bean oil from both sides!

The Dancing Girls and Aileen exclaimed in surprise!

...

Holy shit, earlier the system didn’t even recognize what this was, and now the system acknowledges it?

And an Erudite Scholar!!

Holy shit! After a whole day of map-exploring with Mei, gaining tons of experience, the profession change finally succeeded. Turns out all it needed was to raise Treasure Identification Technique to master level! And the key to its upgrade was the Golden Soybean Machine? Even an artwork?

Aileen excitedly embraced Chun with a kiss: "Darling, you’re amazing!"

Chun was half-amused, "So, anything made of gold counts as art?"

The Dancing Girls got anxious, "This is no ordinary gold. It merges our love and dreams; it’s top-quality material!"

Chun suddenly realized, "Makes sense! This material is indeed extraordinary!"

The Dancing Girls laughed, "So this is also a machine fused with our dreams, not just a mere lifeless machine!"

Chun was surprised, "Even more reasonable! Should we light some incense and dance a bit to please the Machine Spirit in front of the machine?"

The Dancing Girls laughed, "The master is right, we’ll dance right away!"

So they really began dancing and touching around the machine!

Chun was somewhat... okay, let’s consider this a necessary ritual. After all, encountering "Gray Power Balance" before was also an inexplicable mystical phenomenon.
