Chapter 1355: Chapter 1033: Identify the Problem, Solve the Problem_3

He alone is like an entire complete oversized production workshop.

As long as there is a lathe, anything from a radio to a fighter jet is no problem.

"So, now, we’ve got the blueprints, the mystic rituals, alchemy, and the production workshop all covered," Huai Shi concluded, "There’s only one problem left."

As a result, everyone fell helplessly silent.

Materials.

No matter how awesome the workshop and mystic rituals are, even the most awesome production workshop requires materials!

If we use ordinary goods to make do, even if it’s the most badass composite steel material in the Current Circumstances, one overload operation might just blow it all up.

Just look at Osiris’s body frame, billions of US Dollars thrown down without even a splash, is it because manufacturing is difficult? No, it’s not difficult at all as long as there’s enough foundation.

But materials are hard to find.

A project as money-burning as Osiris, no one can afford it these days, and under the same cost, there are more cost-effective ways.

Wonders are ultimately difficult to recreate.

"Everyone, there’s no need to be discouraged."

On the hospital bed, Raymond scratched his head.

Although he really didn’t want to be a tool man, at this point, everyone was working towards the same goal, so he naturally wouldn’t pour cold water and continue to disgrace himself.

"How about we try scavenging in other settlements?" he suggested.

"That’s impossible, starting from scratch with scavenging, when will we ever finish collecting tens of thousands of different materials?" Beelzebub sighed.

"Transfer stations," Anton said, "During the great retreat back then, many transfer stations hadn’t been completely emptied. We might try our luck."

"What about trading?"

Gregory said, "In Hell, I know a few experienced deep-travel merchants, as long as the money is good, they can basically get what we need."

Of course, they could also casually sell them too.

"Should I contact the Iron Crystal Throne and have them send someone with goods?" Foster asked.

Putting aside whether it can be delivered in time, the construction of the Heavenly Prison Fortress is currently at its most critical stage. Trying to snatch resources from the Iron Crystal Throne now would truly make the Great Grandmaster want to come and beat you with a wrench.

In the midst of everyone’s brainstorming, Huai Shi suddenly stood up and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Raymond asked suspiciously.

"Going out for a breath of fresh air,"

Huai Shi waved his hand and said casually, "And grabbing some takeout while I’m at it."

Outside the open workshop door, in the giant plaza of Dragon Scales Village, at that moment, a Steel Flying Bird descended from the sky, perched on Huai Shi’s shoulder, and cawed something into his ear.

Huai Shi listened and nodded.

He patted its head and took out an iron bar.

"Good job, thank you for your hard work."

The Raven excitedly flapped its wings, grabbed the treat Huai Shi gave, and ran off.

Meanwhile, Huai Shi looked up at the sky dome with its clouded shadows, as if peering into the rapidly approaching shadow giant bird beyond the clouds.

Full of anticipation.

Able to feel that enriched Shadow Source Matter!

It was just like smelling the fragrance of raw ingredients in the kitchen; the moment he saw it, his fingers were already moving.

Behind those heavy clouds, the shadow giant bird that was about to swoop down suddenly froze, coming to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

It felt the terrifying threat from below.

At the moment it was seen by those eyes, the consolidated form of pure Shadow Beast felt an incredible fear!

Its whole body, every inch of shadow was trembling in terror, convulsing, even hard to maintain its shape, disintegrating from the form of a great bird into a mass of eerie darkness, frantically ascending.

Without hesitation, it turned tail and fled.

It ran!

Just like a certain food delivery app: the takeout arrived, and the takeout left.

Now, the takeout is 300 meters from you, two minutes later, the takeout is 3 kilometers away from you...

Making the waiting ones fume with anger.

Why are you running?

"You’re here already."

Huai Shi stretched out his hand, slowly closing his fingers.

At that moment, the heavy dark clouds fluctuated, and numerous bizarre steel cables surfaced, sparking as they rubbed against each other, whistling towards the Shadow Beast.

The intangible shadow was also bound by those cables, hard to escape.

Unable to resist the pull from below, nor the terrifying gravitational pull of the Ruins!

Dragged to the ground, it plummeted.

Its forcibly solidified body crashed onto the ground, causing a huge noise.

The eerie shadow started writhing, trying to escape once again, but immediately, a foot stomped on it.

Trampled.

Instantly, the High-order Origin Material from the Great Priestess brought unparalleled suppression, pinning it down hard.

All that could be seen was a smiling face, incredibly close.

"Isn’t this a coincidence? Shadow Qualitative Change, I can do that too!"

Huai Shi smiled, raised his hand, and greeted, then A-Fang’s Long Mace formed in his grasp.

Aimed at its "forehead".

Smash!

The loud sound erupted once more.

The intangible shadow, under this substantial strike, raised wave upon wave, trembling non-stop.

Then, smash it again!

The ground shook, the airwaves surged, and the strong wind blew across his teammates’ astonished faces.

Just like a fisherman standing by the shore, Huai Shi, holding the fishing line and big stick, skillfully banged the hooked prey. After two smashes, the shadow was left with only trembling, with no energy to struggle.

Mournful cries.

It wanted to surrender.

Begging for forgiveness, begging for survival.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Huai Shi’s right hand, shrouded in pale firelight, had already pierced into the intangible shadow.

He clenched it tight.

The talent from the Great Priestess operated here.

Forcibly suppressing, assimilating, then qualitative change.

The casting began!

The massive shadow convulsed and spasmed again, issuing a series of terrible, silence-shattering shrieks. The writhing shadow, which had originally been too large for the entire plaza, began to rapidly contract and then bulge.

Under the Sun-born’s coverage, it once again ushered in a brand new qualitative change...

In the end, the terrifying monster capable of exterminating the entire Dragon Scales Village vanished without a trace.

Replaced by a giant iron ingot.

The bizarre iron ingot stood more than two people high, like an entire small mountain. Its gray-black surface bore twisted patterns resembling distorted faces, silently howling.

Now and then, a dim glow flowed across, as though containing endless darkness, its chill piercing to the bone.

Just like that, in the deathly silence, Huai Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A bright smile appeared.

Filled with the simple happiness of reaping a harvest after labor.

"I was thinking..."

He turned back and asked, "Now, does this solve the materials problem?"
