Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

"The only people I know in the Bureau of Works are Yingxing and you. Yingxing had some business in Zhuming and couldn't come back with me, so I can only ask you for help now."

"The Heat-Seeking Bow that Yingxing forged? It shouldn't have any problems under normal use. Could it be that you overloaded yourself again by using the rapid-fire technique?"

Seeing Bai Heng's evasive gaze and awkward expression, Yu Tianyi knew he was right.

As its name suggests, the Celestial Ship's Thermal Seeking Bow, though shaped like a bow, is a high-tech device equipped with thermal detection and automatic aiming. It is also equipped with an arrow that can automatically track curves, making it more like a missile, and its power is quite remarkable.

However, since it is high technology, there is a probability of misjudgment. Many pilots trust their own skills more, such as Bai Heng, who can raise his hand and fire three arrows at the same time.

The price of this overload was that the curved bow in her hands could not survive more than a few battles. Later, it was only because Yingxing specially modified the bow according to her technique that it could survive for a longer period of time.

"Alright, let me take a look. But let me make this clear beforehand: he's someone who completed the Hundred Metallurgical Refinement at a young age and earned the title of 'Hundred Metallurgical Master.' If it weren't for well-known reasons, he could be sitting in the position of leader of the Industrial Construction Department now."

My skills are far inferior to Yingxing's, so I can't guarantee I can solve your problem.

With a sigh, Yu Tianyi had no reason to refuse his friend. As a craftsman, he could also draw inspiration from Ying Xing's techniques, which might help him improve his forging skills.

"Don't worry, I, Bai Heng, will not let my friends suffer. The patrol will not let you down."

Upon receiving the reply, Bai Heng beamed with joy, patted Yu Tianyi on the shoulder, and then vanished in a flash, clearly heading back to retrieve his precious curved bow.

"She's always so energetic and seems to have no worries at all; it's truly enviable."

Jingliu placed the dishes he was carrying on the table and smiled faintly.

"Yes, it's good to be carefree. If you carry too much on your shoulders, you won't be happy."

As Yu Tianyi spoke, he also thought of a white-haired, blue-eyed girl from before he transmigrated. However, when it came to her experiences, Bai Heng was more like another person. She had the same level of luck and was willing to die to save her companions when she was certain of death.

After the meal, he took the curved bow from Bai Heng who had returned and piloted the Star Chariot to the Bureau of Works.

After parking the Star Chariot at Xuanjiping, Yu Tianyi headed to the Gewu Academy, where he, as a craftsman, had his own design institute to store his design drawings and manuscripts.

"This design is simple and direct, just like the Fragmented Sword, which also advocates a simple and direct aesthetic. It's a pity that it doesn't fit the culture of the Immortal Ship, so it's no wonder that he was deliberately made difficult during the Great Forging of Metals."

Yingxing, being a short-lived species like the one before his transmigration, has a rather simple design language, which is quite incompatible with the exquisite, ornate, and complex craftsmanship of the Gongzao Division.

This can be seen in Danfeng's Cloud-Striking Spear, Jingliu's Dismembered Sword, and Jingyuan's Stonefire Dream Blade forged from the embers of the Emperor's Bow's Light Arrow.

The complexity of the artifacts made by the craftsmen of the Immortal Boat can be intuitively felt from the way the flashlights and bells are depicted on the boat, resembling the dragon fish and the lion.

"However, I am not qualified to speak for those craftsmen. Over the past thousand years, my design habits have been unconsciously influenced as well."

The overall style also appears somewhat bloated; a few hundred years can indeed change a great deal.

As Yu Tianyi placed the bow on the workbench and inspected it, he exclaimed in amazement, marveling at Ying Xing's exquisite forging craftsmanship.

It's important to understand that simplicity doesn't mean plainness. Simplifying a complex thing while retaining its original functionality is extremely difficult.

"Since it's an overload technique for rapid-fire arrows, the problem usually lies in the bow arm."

Sure enough, Yu Tianyi quickly found a minor damage on it, which caused some problems with the energy storage structure of the entire bow arm.

It is clear that Yingxing has a detailed understanding of Baiheng's technology. It is composed of modular components, so if a problem occurs, only the problematic part needs to be replaced, and there is no need to recast the entire curved bow.

"I don't think I have any replacement parts. It's better to find the person who made the customization for this kind of thing."

He skillfully took out the jade tablet and sent a message to Ying Xing, who was still on the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat. This kid was usually very aloof and would hardly reply to even one of his ten messages.

However, Bai Heng was clearly an exception; almost two seconds after he sent the message, a series of messages came back.

"This is the design drawing of the part, the materials required, and a detailed explanation of the forging sequence."

After finding the corresponding materials in the cabinet behind him, Yu Tianyi went to Rongjin Workshop, where the Creation Furnace, which was sealed off and used by Suiyang for energy, was located.

After some work, he replaced the parts with the brand-new ones, but how well they fit would only be known after the bow's owner, Bai Heng, personally tried them out.

According to the tradition of the Immortal Ship, completing an item requires a ritual. However, Yu Tianyi was not particularly attached to this. After checking the time on the jade tablet and finding that the cooldown period for the event was about to end, he hurriedly left the Bureau of Works with Qu Gong.

Another book by the expert PY, the title is at the end.

(Slow tempo) [In the emerald forest, you met a flawless, fairy-like girl with eyes as pure as the sky.]

A distant dawn, a slanting spring breeze, a verdant forest, flowers swirling in the wind.

[And most importantly, a lovely young girl.]

You brought the girl back to your home and grew up together, but you found that she seemed to be ignoring you a bit.

On your way to your birthday party, you encounter Velvi, a woman with talent she cannot utilize.

"Ah... If one day, Jiangcheng's gentleness disappears without a trace, just like in the novels... I will die."

You parted ways with Alicia and embarked on a new life, never to see that flawless girl again.

[Until a sudden disaster struck, destroying everything you had, yet just before you died, you saw starlight twinkle.]

【"Hello.".】

【"goodbye.】

"—Alicia."

Jiang Cheng, who had shattered all the tragedies, looked at Kiana and Alicia sitting next to him.

and so……

"You're also simulating."

Chapter 5 Strange Omens of the Jade

"It seems there's still a chance to save them, but unfortunately the soldiers who jumped up are still too much of a hindrance to me."

Having entered for the third time, Yu Tianyi jumped off the star raft with practiced ease, rolled over to dissipate the force, and carved a path through the air.

Since there were shape refiners in the navigation area, he wondered if he could salvage this starship that was about to crash at the start.

Even if it can't take off again, it would be better if it didn't make such a loud crash. Unfortunately, the two demonic soldiers prevented him from concentrating on controlling it.

Precious time was wasted on dealing with these issues, ultimately leading to another crash.

Having learned from his previous experience, Yu Tianyi did not go on a killing spree this time. Instead, he carefully avoided the various wandering enemies and once again came to the vicinity of the shape refiner.

"It's five meters tall, and it's irrational. It doesn't seem like it can summon minions. If I were more powerful, I might be able to kite it to death."

Standing at the corner, secretly observing the seemingly sleeping cultivator, Yu Tianyi secretly assessed the level of threat posed by the other party.

You have encountered the 'Secret Technique of the Medicine King Who Has Lost His Mind - The Shape Refiner', and a terrifying sense of oppression surges into your heart.

It seems to be asleep, and you grip the array blade tightly, eager to unleash its power.

"..."

Yu Tianyi looked at the pop-up notification with some speechlessness. Even if he could launch a sneak attack, the heavy armor of this shape refiner was not just for show. He estimated that if he slashed down with his standard array blade, the armor would be left unmarked, but the blade would break in two first.

Ignoring the underworld information from the cheat program, he observed for a while to make sure the shape refiner hadn't noticed him, then slowly retreated, turning away only after reaching a safe distance.

"It seems like the starships in the docking area are probably doomed. Let's check the crashed auxiliary starships; maybe we can piece together a usable one."

There's really nothing a normal person can do about a starship that's grown out of itself.

However, Yu Tianyi's talent and skill in craftsmanship are not just for show. If all the parts are usable, he is confident that he can modify a working star raft by hand.

"These soldiers and machines seem to be much stronger than when they first started. Did you not notice any changes in the last incident because of the enhancement from imaginary energy?"

On his way to his destination, Yu Tianyi killed some more monsters he encountered, and immediately frowned.

"As expected of the hellish difficulty, with this level of difficulty, even simply surviving will be difficult. We must find a way to clear the level as soon as possible."

Having discovered this, he quickened his pace and soon arrived at a crashed auxiliary starship.

You have discovered the 'Crashed Starport Auxiliary Starship', which was originally used for navigation operations within the port, but crashed here for some reason.

You approach and touch its remains, discovering that the entire keel is broken, and the tail's 'jade wheel' is scattered on the ground. There are no parts that can be recycled, leaving you extremely disappointed.

"You've given me the results before I've even conducted a search?"

Yu Tianyi simply stood in front of the star raft, and a message flashed before his eyes. However, he did not simply believe it, but instead began to test it according to his own habits.

"It still retains its appearance overall, but internally, due to some force, its original shape continued to grow, causing it to tear."

Is this the power of 'immortality'?

Yu Tianyi recalled the points mentioned at the beginning of all three incidents: Huanlong had miraculously unleashed a trace of 'immortal' power, which led to the destruction of Luofu in this incident.

The sheer size of this immortal star god is evident in the enormous bodies of its subordinate Destiny Walkers, which are as large as galaxies and capable of holding stars in their mouths.

Compared to the events before his transmigration, Yu Tianyi had a vague feeling that a terrifying force was controlling everything in the 'Luofu Fall' incident.

However, these things are currently irrelevant to him as a newbie in the prologue. He can consider them later when he is able to speedrun through the game.

"If this auxiliary star raft looks like this, it seems the others are likely to be in grave danger as well."

After learning the reason why these auxiliary star rafts fell, Yu Tianyi sighed. This underworld cheat really didn't give him any chance. Did he really have to rely on his own strength to defeat this so-called flawed version of the Shapeshifter?

However, since this approach was chosen for this incident, changing course midway would be counterproductive, so he got up and continued searching for the other fallen star rafts.

And as he guessed, it seems there is only one way to go: to directly break through this Starport.

However, after wasting so much time, Yu Tianyi could feel that the strength of these monsters had increased again. Although it hadn't doubled, they were no longer as easily killed by him with a single strike as before.

"Phew~~ Looks like this is the best we can do this time."

After slaying hundreds of monsters, he looked at the surging monsters that showed no sign of abating, and Yu Tianyi's blood-covered face revealed a helpless, bitter smile.

Because he missed the best opportunity, his enhancements could no longer keep up with the speed at which they grew stronger, and his killing efficiency also decreased. This combination of increased efficiency and decreased efficiency resulted in Yu Tianyi's survival time being shorter than planned.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a slight vibration came from the ornaments on his body; it was a message from the Immortal Shipman.
