I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

The Murphy statue immediately grabbed the gambler's head, lifted him high, and then slammed him to the ground.

Then it was swung around like a meteor hammer, finally slamming into the sky with a bang before crashing down.

The gambler didn't even have time to utter a single word before he died on the spot.

Murphy stopped what he was doing and looked at Haig. Clearly, he had finished one task and was waiting for confirmation of the second.

Hai Gang didn't hesitate. Who deserved to die? Who did he want to kill?

He had already considered these things before he even took action.

He waved, signaling the statue to move forward, until it reached another person adorned with gold and silver.

The man was about to explain something when Hai Gang continued to do as he pleased without any hesitation. Murphy's command caused the statue to move instantly.

With several more thuds, another person died on the spot.

Hai Gang looked around at everyone again.

But this time, the main culprits finally reacted.

Escape is impossible; whoever moves first will be the first to be exposed in front of the statue.

Then he was suddenly punched, turning him into a bloody mist.

Therefore, given the fear of being the first to stick one's neck out, it's best to blend into the crowd as much as possible.

So those guys who had originally come to join the fun, dressed in gold and silver and carrying fine wine and food, quickly took off all their valuables and changed into the simple and plain clothes of a sailor.

As for its actual usefulness, one can only say that it is useful, but not very useful.

For someone who can sculpt things to life.

This self-deceptive disguise might fool Hai Gang's eyes, but it couldn't fool the statue's senses.

Hai Gang shrugged and let the statue go about its killing spree.

He sat back down, bandaging his wound while watching the commotion in the distance. He just sighed and remained silent.

The carving of the sea sledge was not without cost; it required a certain amount of offerings in exchange.

Only then could he temporarily revive the existence of his sculpture.

But the offering was not the blood he originally used.

That was merely a medium for communication; the real cost would be charged only after the statue reverted to its original form.

If it were just some ordinary wild animals, it would only make him feel a little hungry.

But what if it were those slightly more powerful creatures, or even those legendary beings?

It would at least keep him bedridden for several days, and it's not impossible that he might even lose several years of his lifespan.

Of course, fortunately, his carving skills were limited.

He couldn't sculpt those truly powerful creatures.

If you were to actually carve it, you could only create some blurry and indistinct images.

Therefore, in such cases, the cost is usually not much.

But this time, he was indeed somewhat worried...

Because most of the sculptures he used to carve were of a specific species.

For example, dragons, ferocious beasts, and the like.

But what was carved and awakened this time was a real, tangible entity.

This was something he had never done before, so he was indeed a little unsure of what would happen.

……

On the other side...

Murphy, who was treating the child, suddenly felt a strange sensation all over his body.

Then, without lifting a finger, it inexplicably completed a forging process.

To be precise, this forging process is also somewhat unique.

One joint forging process has been completed.

[Reward: Increased level of spiritual perception]

[Spiritual Perception → Spiritual Insight]

[Spiritual Insight: You will be able to conduct a deeper study and understanding of the spirit. Furthermore, you will understand that the spirit, besides being naturally present, can also be created by a great deal of intention.]

Murphy thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who he had teamed up with to forge it.

Why is there a forging reward all of a sudden?

However, it then briefly sensed the surrounding area.

Surprisingly, they actually discovered some clues.

It always sensed a faint, similar aura nearby, constantly demanding something from it.

Murphy immediately activated his newly acquired spiritual insight and observed his surroundings.

Suddenly, an eyeball appeared in front of him.

Murphy was familiar with those eyes.

It looks exactly like those densely packed people crammed together in the sky.

However, behind this eyeball, there was something that looked like a blood vessel.

It kept twisting and turning, heading into the distance.

When the eyeballs saw Murphy looking at it, they cleverly moved up and down, as if greeting Murphy.

What puzzled Murphy the most was that there seemed to be afterimages on his body, gradually entering his eyes.

Then it seemed to turn into a liquid, flowing bulgingly along that blood vessel.

And when those afterimages flowed halfway through, they gradually stopped.

Then his eyes suddenly shone brightly, flashed white light, and then exploded with a "poof".

But this time, what came out was a golden liquid.

The eyeball burst open, but the tube behind it remained, still enveloped by the pool of liquid.

The golden liquid spun in the air before landing in Murphy's hand.

Then suddenly another line of small text popped up in front of Murphy's eyes.

Unlike the grand and imposing style of the Craftsman's Hammer, these smaller characters are more like printed text, rigorous and orderly.

Loan analysis completed.

[Loan Terms: Assisted Manufacturing + Power Projection]

[Specific details are as follows: When the lender, Hai Gang, was sculpting you with faith, due to your unique characteristics, the temporary statue he forged was automatically transformed into a semi-permanent statue, and his power was projected onto it.]

However, since the loan agreement was not finalized in advance, you are free to choose the repayment level and method within certain limits.

[Borrower: Hai Gang, an outstanding sculptor]

[Borrower: Not registered]

……

Murphy was completely bewildered when he saw the loan agreement that had suddenly appeared.

This means that someone sculpted its statue and then borrowed its power, but only because it was special.

So while using his own power, he also helped strengthen the things that others were forging.

However, Murphy was somewhat familiar with the name Hai Gang.

He seems to be a sailor who also likes to carve things.

After arguing for a long time, Murphy realized that the repayment request didn't seem to need to be decided immediately; it could wait a while.

So it decided to wait and see what was going on before making a decision.

Then my gaze fell on the next few lines, especially the striking "Exceptional Sculptor".

Does it remember itself as an elite craftsman?

This "Excellent" should be a level higher than me, so why am I the one who can help with the forging?

(◞‸◟)

Murphy pondered for a while, puzzled, and felt that perhaps his skills were superior to others.

However, its approach and rating method have gone astray.

This is like an inappropriate analogy.

The world's rating system moves to the left.

However, it kept rushing upwards and to the left.

You ask if it flies high? Of course it flies high.

But if you ask it whether it runs to the left or not, the answer is definitely no.

"Mr. Murphy, why are you suddenly staring in that direction? There's clearly nothing there..."

Lillian noticed Murphy suddenly staring intently at one spot and asked him a question with some fear.

Murphy shook his head, placed the puddle of liquid on his head, and then bent down to continue treating the children's injuries.

He said it casually.

There is something, but you can't see it.

"babble!"

Lillian called out softly, then muttered something.

Perhaps because her mind was no longer tense, her speech carried a childlike innocence and intelligence.

"Don't scare me, Mr. Murphy..."
