Chapter 369: 369: Master, Teach Me
The attribute that turns purple after flashing was even more powerful, as it could track the traces of Stealth Thieves, which played a great role in ensuring safety in the wilderness.
Everyone knew that what you had to be most cautious of in the wilderness was not monsters, but thieves.
This was especially true when upgrading the map during conflicts. Although it couldn’t directly detect stealth, the ability to find traces and flaws was already a tremendous help.
Having this eye, no thief would dare to get close to Li Yao.
As for discovering treasure chests, there would be prompts when scanning hidden treasure chests, this function was a favorite among players.
“Master, I want Flash, you can’t fail me,” said the player, handing Li Yao the blueprint for the mechanical goggles with a grievous expression.
Not to mention others, even Li Yao had decided to make one for himself.
Li Yao began to craft. The process was extremely straightforward.
In the end, Li Yao was not working for Gold Coins, so he was in no rush. In such circumstances, time passed quickly.
Unconsciously, it was already noon. Due to the different lengths of contract work, he had earned more than ten Gold Coins, which made many players envious.
However, many players who didn’t make it into the queue pleaded with Li Yao to come back in the afternoon. Li Yao casually obliging them, he just wanted to go to the ruins, finish the blueprints and then disappear.
Making this little money was just wasting precious time, but Li Yao was quite satisfied. Apart from the blueprints for goggles and the Fire Gun, Li Yao also learned a lot of decent engineering blueprints.
These blueprints were things that Li Yao could not collect in the Dark Camp and were mastered only by gnome engineerings, earning Li Yao quite a bit.
When he returns, he will be able to make a lot of tools that are only available on the gnomes’ side. Of course, the most important reason why Li Yao hasn’t been discovered to have any flaws is that he uses the techniques and methods of gnome engineering.
Although both goblins and gnomes excel at engineering, their techniques, crafts, and procedures are different. Li Yao, having lived two lives, only managed to master both methods in the late stages of the game. If it were any other player, they would have definitely been exposed by the master of engineering.
“Master, the master invites you up for lunch,” An advanced engineer saluted Li Yao respectfully.
Although he was one of the administrators of this town, even if one didn’t consider the power, just the engineering level and personal strength far surpassed Li Yao’s.
But after observing Li Yao’s crafting, despite it being only intermediate engineering goods, he still felt that he had learned a lot.
From being indifferent at first, to being reminded by the teacher and then studying seriously, his attitude towards Li Yao also changed completely.
Seeing Li Yao come up, the old man stood up and personally led Li Yao to his seat.
“Please have a seat, sir,” the old man said, “I am Miller, may I know how to address you?”
Li Yao sat down and touched glasses with Miller before he said: “I am Meka.”
“Sir, please feel at home and enjoy yourself,” Miller enthusiastically served Li Yao food, and seeing his disciples around him staring in disbelief. They had never seen their teacher serve anyone in such a manner before: “Today I saw your techniques, Sir, they are simply ingenious. I wonder what this technique is, could you please enlighten us?”
Upon hearing this, Li Yao knew what the old man’s purpose was. However, he didn’t mind and said seriously, “Let’s just call it multitasking, it’s just a rough technique, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.”
Miller’s mouth twitched. This was one of the highest techniques, which he sought after, and yet the other party said it was not worth mentioning. In his heart, he sighed. Truly a master, this man shows a different level of life.
Back then, the leader, who was also a great craftsman, had also said that this was just a small technique, not worth mentioning. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even more intimate.
“Have a drink. This is fifty-year-old fine wine that I got from an old man from Thundering,” Miller filled Li Yao’s cup and said, “I’ve been stuck at this threshold for many years, always failing to grasp it. I wonder if the master could give me some guidance.”
Miller’s face was full of eagerness.
From his own introduction, Li Yao had already confirmed that this Miller was indeed the controller of the town. Gnomes have always been like this, rating others based on the strength of their engineering skills rather than their status.
You should know, this was also a big boss. Among the gnomes, he was a very prominent figure. After all, being able to lead a place was definitely not simple.
Such a person humbling himself to flatter him made Li Yao feel quite pleased.
“Ahem,” Li Yao coughed lightly and said, “About that.”
“You all go out, I’ll entertain the master myself.” Miller thought he had understood what Li Yao meant and immediately ordered his disciples to leave. When everyone had left, he looked eagerly at Li Yao. There was no trace of the imposing air of a town manager.
“The thing is,” Li Yao wouldn’t say this was due to his strong spiritual power, coupled with his unique talents. Suddenly an idea came to his mind, a way to deal with it.
Then he seriously took two fingers and dipped them in wine, drew a circle with one hand and a square with the other on the ground and said, “Look, this is the simplest form of multitasking. If you can do this, you can draw more complex shapes.”
Miller’s face showed a look of ecstasy, and he also tried it. Although it was crooked and unformed, he was still ecstatic, “Master, you are truly generous, I don’t know how to repay you.”
“No need to be so formal,” Li Yao peeled a roasted exotic bird egg and said, “You need to remember, learning this is very difficult and you cannot become impatient if you don’t see results in a short time. When you reach a higher level, you can write different words with each hand, and you can also chat with people, then you’ll be able to multitask.”
“I understand, I understand, mastering such a divine skill naturally wouldn’t happen overnight.” Miller practiced with wine for half a day and only remembered Li Yao beside him after a while. He immediately said embarrassedly, “Master, it would be too vulgar to give you common things, I can’t take it out.”
“It’s just a small thing, a small thing. We didn’t discuss any repayment,” Li Yao thought inwardly, I don’t think it’s vulgar, if you scrape a little bit off, I’ll make a big profit, but he couldn’t say this, so he still maintained the demeanor of a master.
“Master, don’t you know, we have discovered a new ruin underground?” Miller asked seriously.
Li Yao was stunned, he came for the ruins, how could he not know? But he didn’t know the other side’s thoughts yet, so he just said, “I’ve heard a little, I’ve heard a little.”
Miller looked into Li Yao’s eyes and said, “Master, this is one of the underground relics sealed by the Ancient Titans. Although they were not subjected to the Curse of Flesh and most of them were destroyed, no one knows what is hidden underground. Master, aren’t you interested?”…
