Chapter 165: 165: Space Sealing Sphere
From the moment he awakened his class to now, it had only been half a month at most, and he had been under constant pressure, compelling himself to advance rapidly, especially after being targeted by the Evil Organization, he didn’t dare to relax at all, fearing that any day might be his last.
However, now that he had the strength of Third Order LV80, he was barely considered a strong contender, not to mention he had Lao Tie and the Demon Spider, these two over-specified summons, which meant he had no fear in facing a Fourth Order powerhouse head-on.
So, for once, after exiting the class-change instance, he did not continue to grind instances but leisurely strolled around North City District.
Most of the North City District had been claimed by noble families and clans, who had established their own manor areas, which is why there were very few tall buildings around; instead, there was an abundance of greenery, creating a lush and vibrant environment.
After leisurely touring around, he entered the large shopping mall established by the North City District officials.
Compared to other regions, the large shopping mall in North City District mainly sold mid to high-end goods, with fewer low-end products.
“Huh, you can even customize a versatile large-scale automatic production line here. Interesting.”
Shen Yurou’s research on ammunition, firearms, bombs, exoskeleton armor, and robots—save for the last item, which was slightly more complex—all could be mass-produced with a small automatic production line; it was just a matter of production time.
Zi Liyuan wanted to start an arms company, and when the time came, he would definitely need to purchase many such large-scale automatic production lines to meet the demands of arms production.
At least consumables like ammunition and bombs would certainly need to be produced on a large scale, and only a large-scale production line could satisfy the market consumption.
“I wonder if Xiao Yurou could modify such a large automatic production line. Should I buy one to let her try modifying it first?”
Acting upon his thought, he directly approached the store specializing in production lines and other large equipment.
A small automatic production line cost him over ten million Dragon Coins in Jiangnan Province, while a large one was priced at 10 billion Dragon Coins. If there were any special requirements needing modification, there would be additional charges for the changes…
This was quite distressing; if he hadn’t been crazily grinding instances for experience, gaining a massive output of materials and obtaining a large sum of Dragon Coins from the Wang family, he might have had to clear out his inventory in his Spatial Backpack and sell off a batch of silver hero-grade equipment right away.
“Damn, money really doesn’t last. Ordinary civilian professionals toil for their daily bread, and they would be thrilled to earn tens of thousands of Dragon Coins a month. And here I am, earning billions a month, but spending even more…”
After muttering a complaint, he indicated his willingness to purchase a large-scale automatic production line to the clerk, who immediately led him to the store’s reception room.
“Customer, this kind of large-scale automatic production line can be used normally as long as you can provide the blueprints for the item you want to produce and have enough materials ready. However, if you are producing special items, then the production line might need special modifications, and for that, there will be additional charges.”
The attendant was the manager of the store, a Fourth Order LV90 powerhouse.
“No need for modifications; I’m just producing some ordinary mechanical products. What I want to know is, when can the production line be delivered?”
Zi Liyuan inquired while sipping tea.
“If you only need one large-scale automatic production line, we can deliver it right away.”
The manager said this with a slight smile and pulled a crystal ball the size of a human head out of his Spatial Backpack, placing it on the visitor’s tea table.
“This is a Space Sealing Sphere. The large-scale automatic production line you ordered is sealed inside. You can inspect it with your Spirit.”
After finishing his explanation, the manager gestured to Zi Liyuan, inviting him to check the condition of the goods.
Zi Liyuan did not hesitate; his Spirit delved into the Space Sealing Sphere, and instantly, a massive production line appeared in his mind, along with its various data parameters.
“Good, I’ll take this production line. Swipe the card, please.”
He nodded, confirming that there were no issues with the production line, and laid his bank card on the table.
“Ten billion Dragon Coins, a sincere bargain. It’s been a pleasure doing business.”
If the manager had only worn a professional smile before, now he truly smiled with heartfelt glee.
Their family was a vast mechanical equipment manufacturing group, but the sales volume of large automatic production lines like this was very low, so the store had only one in stock.
Given that the item was worth 10 billion Dragon Coins, they couldn’t afford to keep dozens of them gathering dust. To be able to sell three in a year was considered good.
“Manager Niu, how do I open this Space Sealing Sphere?”
Taking back his bank card that the manager passed to him, Zi Liyuan held the human-head-sized crystal ball and observed it before asking.
“To operate a Space Sealing Sphere, you need to imprint it with a Soul Imprint.
Each Space Sealing Sphere can only have three Soul Imprints.
If you need to change the master imprint, merely overlay the new Soul Imprint over the one you want to replace.”
Manager Niu briefly explained how to use it and taught Zi Liyuan how to imprint his Soul Imprint onto the Space Sealing Sphere. Once Zi Liyuan was able to control it freely, Manager Niu concluded the teaching.
The Space Sealing Sphere could only hold three Soul Imprints, and the first person to imprint it would receive the highest authority over it.
The last two who imprinted could only use it but did not have the authority to erase, override, or change the Soul Imprints.
The large automatic production line sealed inside the Space Sealing Sphere was bound to the sphere; if someone wanted to use spatial equipment to retrieve it, there were only two ways.
One would have to disassemble the production line before taking it or use a spatial tool of higher quality than the Space Sealing Sphere.
The Space Sealing Sphere itself was a silver hero-grade spatial accessory, and unless you used a higher-quality spatial sealing tool, you couldn’t break the rule binding it.
“Nice device; set up like this, it almost prevents theft.”
After all, a large automatic production line with an approximate length of five hundred meters, over a hundred meters in width, and more than ten meters in height was an enormous volume; it couldn’t just be placed directly into a Spatial Backpack.
Each slot in the Spatial Backpack could only hold objects of a hundred cubic meters, and a single slot could hold up to 200 of the same kind and quality, that is, one set.
After bidding farewell to Manager Niu, Zi Liyuan continued to wander around the shopping mall.
However, what he mainly focused on were the Skill Book shops and the official auction house.
The Skill Book shops he was interested in were those set up by the large clans; he had already given up hope on finding Skill Books usable for death-class professionals in shops established by the officials.
From White Crane City in Jiangnan Province to the capital of Great Xia in Shenglong State, you couldn’t hope to find a Skill Book for death-class professionals in any official store!
