Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"The materials you used to build the 'flying ship'..."

"It's a special material, not ordinary metal. It's only available here; you won't find it anywhere else."

Before Feng Zhenghao could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted.

Feng Zhenghao nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. Although it was a pity that he could not become a supplier, he could consider becoming an agent.

With that in mind, he asked, "Besides the 'airship,' what's the production volume of other goods in the village? Do you need agents?"

"The output is naturally very high."

Having acquired the Gluttony Fruit, Fang Rui has found a way to increase production, and his tool, Qiu Rang, has retired...

"As for the distributors..." Fang Rui paused for a moment before continuing, "Some time ago, the company sent someone to talk to me about this matter, and I have already agreed to hand over some of the products to the company for sale."

After all, the products selected by the company are all high-risk products, so it's normal for the company to want to supervise them. Fang Rui had no interest in going against the company, so he agreed to their proposal.

"A portion?" Feng Zhenghao grasped the key point in Fang Rui's statement and immediately asked, "How about I handle the other portion?"

"Of course, you can talk to Bi Yuan about this."

Fang Rui stated that he would be responsible for making the decisions, while Bi Yuan would be in charge of all the execution.

To be honest, there are quite a few villagers in Biyou Village, but not many who are truly capable.

Do you need to hire some staff?

Watching Feng Zhenghao's departing figure, Fang Rui slowly shook his head, feeling that it was unnecessary.

Turn your attention back to what you've gained from this trip.

As for building a "flying ship," Fang Rui said he would talk about it later. Once he had thoroughly studied the Swallow Fruit, it would be impossible to synthesize a flying ship with a single click.

However, it's possible to synthesize a mechanical doll with a single click. Besides that, it's also possible to synthesize other items with a single click...

With that in mind, Fang Rui put the matter of forging the airship out of his mind. Since there was no delivery date, he could just wait!

………………

Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan, acting as a mouthpiece, was discussing some details about the airship with Bi Yuan.

For example, the shape, the patterns painted on the surface of the ship, the weapon system, and so on.

Zhang Chulan, who had been acting as a go-between for a while, suddenly realized something and handed his phone directly to Bi Yuan so that the two could have a video chat, while he slipped aside to watch the show.

Since the phone has already been handed over, I can't use it.

"Chu Lan, you're here too!"

Upon entering the room, Feng Zhenghao immediately saw Bi Yuan holding a mobile phone. Based on what he said, Feng Zhenghao was certain that Bi Yuan was discussing business with someone.

The second thing he saw was Zhang Chulan huddled in the corner of the room, looking at Bi Yuan with a bored expression. After exchanging glances with Bi Yuan for a few seconds and nodding slightly, he went to Zhang Chulan's side.

"Hey~ Uncle Feng, what's going on here...?"

Seeing Feng Zhenghao here didn't surprise Zhang Chulan much, after all, Biyou Village was currently the eye of the typhoon, and countless people were rushing here...

Most of them are ordinary people...

The reason for this is that social media platforms like "WeChat Moments" spread information rapidly, quickly reaching every corner of the country. While not everyone knows about it yet, they are not far off.

Furthermore, since people nowadays are keen on "seeking immortals and visiting the Dao," how could they sit still after learning about this? They immediately set off for Biyou Village.

It's because there are a lot of monsters in the wilderness lately that many people who live far away can't come to Biyou Village. Otherwise, Biyou Village would be more lively!

All the villagers of Biyou Village have moved into the "Biyou" ship. Except for the office buildings, all the houses in the village have been converted into homestays.

Even so, many visitors still had nowhere to stay.

As a result, hotels in cities near Biyou Village have seen a surge in business.

Some of the wealthier individuals built luxury villas near Biyou Village, having obtained Fang Rui's consent beforehand.

One of them was Feng Zhenghao, who chose a villa location that was closest to Biyou Village.

"I've come to buy something."

Feng Zhenghao sat next to Zhang Chulan and chatted with him about everyday things.

Feeling a bit bored, Zhang Chulan didn't refuse and chatted with Feng Zhenghao...

Meanwhile, Bi Yuan was still discussing details with people from the company.

The differences between military and civilian use are naturally significant, so there are many details to discuss...

Especially since Fang Rui, as the manufacturer, was not involved in the discussion, Bi Yuan dared not agree to some things casually, so the negotiation progressed somewhat slowly.

What do you mean, "I'll handle it"?!

'You're the one making the decisions; what good is my opinion?'

Bi Yuan mentally complained, then used his phone to send Fang Rui a series of messages that required Fang Rui's approval.

This disturbed Fang Rui, who was counting the spoils, and he thought to himself that Bi Yuan was doing it on purpose.

A problem that could have been solved in one go was instead split into dozens of steps. Fang Rui simply didn't believe that Bi Yuan hadn't deliberately sabotaged him.

Fang Rui wasn't angry about this; he could just leave things to his clone to handle!

He himself can continue to take stock of the harvest and produce Swallow Fruits.

As for the teleportation portal... that's being researched by his clone in the world of navigation. He goes to the world of navigation every now and then and should be able to acquire the teleportation technology, a teleportation technology centered around the Door-Door Fruit.

"It should be fine..."

Looking at the Devil Fruit he was holding, Fang Rui's tone was uncertain.

The ability of the Gluttony Fruit is to synthesize the objects that the user eats according to their own ideas.

Following this line of thought, Fang Rui programmed the mechanical puppet and then fed it an abridged version of the Swallow Fruit. The mechanical puppet should then be able to consume the corresponding materials and synthesize items according to the programmed steps.

Whether it will succeed remains to be seen...

"Give it a try! If it doesn't work, we can revise it again..."

With that, Fang Rui walked outside.

Chapter 244 Transition

The mechanical doll, Swallow Edition, follows the set program steps, taking big bites of the metal material, chewing for a while, and then spitting out the synthesized item.

A brand-new power armor stood on the grass. On the surface, it looked no different from the one he had made by hand, but it needed to be tested to see how it actually worked.

Thinking this, Fang Rui used his clone technique to create a clone with the combat strength of an ordinary person, and with the help of the mechanical puppet, he dressed it up...

"Power has been connected..."

The moment the notification sound rang, the various functions of the power armor activated one after another, and the screens lit up one after another, but the screens were all blank...

"It seems that creating a power armor unit with a single click is not an option for the time being..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui carefully inspected each component of the power armor and discovered that any part involving "Qi" failed to assemble successfully...

Upon closer examination, it's quite normal.

There is a clear difference between parts made using the crafting techniques and parts synthesized using the Swallow Fruit.

One could be considered a semi-finished magical artifact, or a specially treated metal, possessing some special abilities; the other was a metal containing special energy, but without any special abilities...

"Let me think about how to solve this problem..."

With that, Fang Rui withdrew his clone and threw the failed synthesized power armor into the mouth of the mechanical doll, Tun Tun, separating the materials.

He already has ideas for improvement methods, but they are somewhat complicated and success is not guaranteed.

In internet slang, there are phrases like: "Don't etch random things into your DNA!", "The DNA is moving!", and "It's already etched into the DNA!"

Fang Rui's inspiration came from this. He directly modified the Gluttony Fruit, engraving the detailed steps for manufacturing power armor, including the refining techniques used, into the Gluttony Fruit's DNA, making the Gluttony Fruit's manufacturing of power armor as instinctive as possible...

Whether it works or not needs to be tested...

"By the way, let's test whether a purely technological version of the power armor can be synthesized using the Gluttony Fruit."

The tech gift pack I received a while ago has been gathering dust in my storage room, so it's time to take it out!

"...It seems impossible to synthesize such a product. The difficulty of synthesizing high-tech products is no less than that of non-technological products."

"The more complex something is, the harder it is to synthesize..."

With that, Fang Rui returned to the forging workshop.

………………

Inside Biyou Village, the Biyou Village specialty store located at the end of the commercial street is doing very well, with customers from all over the country crowding around the store.

The customers in the store, along with their friends or other customers who happened to be nearby, discussed what to buy.

Holding an iPad, Tang Wenlong scrolled up and down to view the product list, muttering under his breath, "So many strange and unusual things..."

“There are indeed many…” Zhang Wang stared at a particular item on the product list with a complicated expression. It was a power armor.

This iron lump can be considered the nemesis of assassins.

Fortunately, power armor is a controlled commodity and cannot be sold casually, otherwise where would the Tang Clan get business...?

Thinking this, Zhang Wang suddenly paused. Although he was following the assassin's line of thought, upon closer examination, he realized that the Tang Clan had already changed its profession, transforming from an assassin organization into a martial arts school.

and so……

Why would I worry about this?

After making a self-deprecating remark, Zhang Wang looked at other items, searching for props suitable for the Tang Clan.

"Should I buy this kind of power armor, or that kind of power armor?"

An ordinary, wealthy man looked at the 3D images of two types of powered armor displayed on his iPad, his expression one of great concern.

His companion lowered his head slightly, his gaze settling on the wealthy man's protruding beer belly, and offered his assessment: "My advice is to buy neither..."

You can't fit into them anyway!

Naturally, he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Why?" the tycoon, who had no idea what was going on, asked blankly.

The person traveling with him: "…………"
