Chapter 730: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Chapter 730: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
"I've lost focus," Lindsey thought with a troubled expression. If he wasn't trying to maintain his disguise, he'd really let out a good vent of complaints.
After all, among the most powerful Awakened in the entire universe, the Craftsman stood as one of them.
Their Awakened abilities were marvels of craftsmanship, and many talented individuals emerged from their ranks.
Apart from crafting various special items with wondrous functions, they could also create spatial equipment, effortlessly enlarging or shrinking objects.
Thus, a brand-new problem presented itself to Lindsey.
A formidable Craftsman capable of building a spaceship.
When considering the portability and daily storage of their creations, would they add a resizing function to such a mode of transportation?
A ring? A necklace? Or perhaps a model?
If that were the case, then all previous speculations about the spaceship's storage space would likely have to be reevaluated!
He hadn't fully considered the variables of the Awakened!
Lindsey mentally chastised himself.
Just then, the Craftsman working on the platform took the initiative to greet them:
"Hey there, Miss Lily!"
The Maid smiled and waved at the Craftsman.
She had previously been one of Haiya Ye's personal maids, so her status within the castle was naturally not low.
But at this very moment, she first sought Lindsey's opinion with a glance, then led her young mistress over:
"Mr. Kaze, is your work going smoothly?"
"Of course it is!" The Craftsman smiled enthusiastically. "With Haiya Ye's global control ability, my construction work here is a breeze, and even my craftsmanship has improved!"
As he greeted the Maid, the Craftsman's gaze gradually shifted to Lindsey.
He cautiously asked, "And this gentleman here—must be the young master Lindsey you mentioned, right?"
The special treatment from Haiya Ye had spread throughout the castle overnight.
The Organizer herself had played a part in this.
That morning, as she left, Haiya Ye specifically used her abilities to inform everyone.
So, whether Awakened or Commoner, all humans loyal to Haiya Ye in the castle, and even the entire city, knew of Lindsey's existence.
Lily naturally nodded in response, "Yes, the young master is Lindsey."
The Craftsman's expression changed again and again.
He hurriedly wanted to show his appreciation but had nothing suitable at hand.
Finally, he had a sudden inspiration.
He reached for a pouch at his waist and straightforwardly handed it to Lindsey:
"Young Master Lindsey, I'm just a simple man."
"On our first meeting, I don't have anything prepared, but please accept this small sack..."
Lindsey had intended to refuse, but the Craftsman's enthusiasm was hard to resist, and with his childlike identity, he eventually accepted the pouch.
[Material/Backpack: Craftsman's Sack]
[A small package made using spatial technology, capable of holding an extremely large number of items. When the user needs something, the sack automatically delivers the corresponding item to the pouch's edge for easy access. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare spatial equipment with moderate value.]
"..."
Led by Lily, Lindsey continued his tour of the castle, but his thoughts drifted further and further away, even his search for the spaceship seemed to have wandered off a few meters.
After all, this equipment—it was obtained far too easily, wasn't it?
The moderately valued spatial sack, in terms of its true value, was more precious than some powerful weapons.
Especially considering how it was acquired...
Even without asking, the Craftsman had brought such an item to please Lindsey.
At this moment, Lindsey looked around.
The originally rudimentary inner walls of the castle seemed to transform into a magnificent sight, like a grand cathedral that would take thousands of years to build.
"..."
In his state of intoxication, Lindsey tried to transform the Artisan Sack into a portable one.
—This surprise was even more exaggerated.
His original limit of 72 pockets directly increased to 225! He then checked the synthesis formula.
【1 Artisan Sack + 3 Premium Jewels + 1 Special Metal + 1 Temporal Ore = Distorted Sack】
A simple synthesis formula.
It also meant that the next, larger-capacity sack could be crafted.
The only item Lindsey lacked was a rare mineral called 【Temporal Ore】.
For the next half-day, Lindsey continued the tour of the castle with Lily.
The special treatment continued, one surprise after another.
From the hands of other craftsmen building the castle, Lindsey acquired some more items.
【Armor: Miniature Armor】
【When equipped, this armor will automatically twist the surrounding air upon an incoming attack, creating a polarized shield. While distorting light, it provides physical defense. Once the shield is broken, it will automatically recover after three days.】
【A rare automatic shield, moderately priced.】
【Curiosity/Material: Cloud Silk】
【A rare material refined from the atmosphere, possessing extremely high strength yet as light as a feather. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【A rare material refined by Craftsman Technique, moderately priced.】
Apart from the Craftsman, Lindsey also obtained two new items from the castle guards and Awakened ones who pledged their allegiance to Leaf Haiya.
【Material/Food: Celestial Sparrow Heart】
【An extremely rare bird's heart that, when consumed, permanently increases agility. It can also be used as a material for alchemical potions.】
【A rare hunting material, moderately priced.】
【Material/Food: Alba Burrowing Worm Muscle】
【An essence meat from an extremely rare beast that, when consumed, permanently increases Constitution and Strength attributes. It can also be used as an ingredient for gourmet cuisine.】
【A rare hunting material, moderately priced.】
"..."
After finishing the tour of the castle, Lindsey returned to his room.
He appeared to be all smiles, but inside, he was overjoyed.
Or perhaps, this was his happiest day since arriving in the Dust Path World! He felt so content that he didn't want to leave! It's like enjoying the shade of a big tree! Standing on the shoulders of giants.
Materials that once required arduous searching were now being offered to Lindsey without him even asking.
This was a far cry from the treatment he experienced during his past arduous adventures.
He waited until mealtime, when Lily went to the kitchen to prepare his food.
Alone in his room, Lindsey began to tinker with several new materials.
First, he examined the materials given by the Craftsman.
【1 Cloud Silk + 1 Premium Silk Thread + 1 Special Silk Thread + 1 Restraining Long Feather = Invisible Rope】
【1 Cloud Silk + 1 Premium Timber + 1 Floating Cloud Layer + 1 Storm Element = Cloud Sea Fishing Rod】
"..."
Lindsey couldn't focus on the remaining synthesis formulas.
Just the synthesis entry for 【Cloud Sea Fishing Rod】 captured his full attention! Lindsey opened the friend channel.
Lindsey: 【Alice, is there anything you need?】
Alice: 【Huh? What do you mean? I'm working here!】
