Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 31 Xu Lizhi

The mecha is complete!

This also proves that Xu Yuan has reached level two in mecha manufacturing.

Xu Yuan continued to approach the repair station for the third mech.

Mech repair, Level 2 mech repair requires repairing and reforging the damaged core magic array.

That's right, it requires the blacksmith's part.

Of course, it's only needed at lower levels.

The four secondary professions utilize some of their basic skills at lower levels, but each begins to have its own exclusive domain at mid-to-high levels.

Once mech repair reaches level five, it begins to involve spirituality, which means that the creation of battle armor undergoes a qualitative change.

Battle armor is not static.

Even a Battle Armor Master who always maintains a One-Word Battle Armor will gradually update and replace the core magic array inside his Battle Armor. The rare metals used to make the Battle Armor are obviously not easy to replace. The so-called update and replacement refers to the optimization of the core magic array.

This is the job of a mecha repairman.

Based on the experience of Battle Armor Masters, the magic array was optimized to better suit them, essentially handling after-sales service.

What Xu Yuan was facing at that moment was a piece of scrapped mecha parts, with its core magic array damaged.

Xu Yuan placed it in a furnace, heated it to soften the metal, and then began forging it. He re-forged the damaged parts to make them smooth, and then re-engraved the magic array.

During the mecha repair process, the core magic array is only partially repaired and needs to be properly integrated with the original intact parts, which is a major challenge.

And it is precisely because of this that mech repairmen must learn various core magic arrays from the very beginning, as well as theories on fine-tuning magic arrays.

Clearly, this also promotes the advancement of mech manufacturing to level three.

These are all Xu Yuan's insights. The more he learns, the more he discovers the connections between various professions.

Repair completed.

Xu Yuan walked toward the last forging platform.

He took out a piece of smelted silver and began to heat it. Just as the silver was about to melt, a forging hammer appeared in his hand, and he slammed it down cleanly with a bang.

Bang bang bang!

The room was filled with the rhythmic sound of forging.

As Xu Yuan proceeded with the fifth test, a considerable number of people had already gathered in the room.

They were all trainees from the latter two batches of assessments.

However, they did not immediately choose positions to begin the assessment.

They were stunned by Xu Yuan's detailed account of the entire process, from mecha design to manufacturing, maintenance, and even the final forging.

How can someone be so versatile?

Of course, they are all level two.

But Xu Yuan is too old.

Even those who were already at level three in their secondary professions couldn't comfort themselves with the thought, "It's only level two, I'm level three."

With the final hammer blow, the metal, forged through countless trials, was complete.

"Full marks." Cai Yue'er remained silent for a long time before giving her score.

Although he was only at level two, Xu Yuan was only seven years old, and he had already reached level two in all four secondary professions, and he had completed them all perfectly.

"Junior, you're awesome!" Wang Hao led Xu Yuan to the next assessment location, his expression incredibly excited. He still couldn't forget the scene of Xu Yuan taking the four sub-profession assessments in a row.

"Senior, what's the next test?"

"The next challenge is testing your appetite."

Xu Yuan's lips twitched.

He did know there was such a level, but he couldn't recall the specific details, so he didn't know which level it was or what it tested, which is why he asked Wang Hao.

Enter the room of the sixth level.

Two people are already undergoing the assessment.

In front of the two men was a huge tray, piled high with steamed buns.

Beside it, there were piles of steamed buns that looked like small mountains.

"Here, you can go and eat that plate."

Wang Hao reminded him, "You have half an hour. Eating fifteen steamed buns within half an hour is considered passing and earns you six points. For every five more you eat, you get one more point. You cannot circulate your soul power while eating."

To get a perfect score, you have to eat thirty-five steamed buns.

Outrageous.

Half an hour, which means not even one steamed bun per minute.

Xu Yuan sighed and walked to the front of Mantou Mountain.

It seems the chances of getting a perfect score are about to end here.

Only when he walked to the side did he notice the situation of the two people who were being assessed.

They were sitting on the ground. You could only glance at them subconsciously and not see anything clearly. Only when you got closer could you see that they were also too young. There was a boy and a girl. The boy was a little chubby, and the girl had a very stubborn look on her face with a proud expression between her brows.

Xu Yuan's heart stirred.

Could this be steamed buns and a sword?

Watching the chubby boy devour one steamed bun after another, Xu Yuan confirmed his idea.

He turned around and asked Wang Hao, "Senior, can I eat this instead?"

He had barely opened his mouth, and Wang Hao hadn't even spoken yet, when the girl frowned and glanced at Xu Yuan.

The little chubby girl has already eaten forty of them; now we're basically helping her eat them.

Wang Hao glanced at the chubby boy and the girl, and nodded.

"Okay, but you only have half an hour."

Xu Lizhi was swallowing a steamed bun while looking at Xu Yuan. His small eyes showed some surprise and curiosity, as if to say, "Brother, do we know each other?"

"Young man, you seem to be handling this with ease. Could you eat some for me? I'll teach you a secret technique in a bit. This technique has no other benefits than that you can eat more and digest faster."

Xu Lizhi's small eyes widened.

He mumbled something and nodded.

Ye Xinglan frowned and glared at Xu Yuan.

She felt that Xu Yuan was deceiving Xu Lizhi.

But she had no evidence.

However, she had a steamed bun in her mouth at the moment, so she couldn't open it.

Soon, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi each had thirty-five fewer steamed buns on their plates.

Only ten minutes had passed.

"Little Fatty, you only have five minutes left. Helping him eat will only last five minutes," the teacher said to Xu Lizhi after glancing at him.

Xu Lizhi nodded, sat down in front of Xu Yuan, and started stuffing steamed buns into his mouth again.

Ten minutes passed, and Xu Yuan had eaten fifteen, but the more he ate, the less he could eat. At first, he could eat two per minute, but then it slowed down, and now he could barely eat one per minute. There was nothing he could do about it.

His own digestive capacity is limited.

Even though he had explored so-called secret techniques to aid digestion in order to cultivate his qi and blood, the problem now is that he is not allowed to use his soul power.

Therefore, the only option is to exchange special skills for points.

It's called a unique skill, but it was tailor-made for Xu Yuan himself. For him, it was barely a prototype of a unique skill, and for others, it was just a technique to enhance their ability to digest it.

Xu Lizhi was quite helpful, managing to finish seven steamed buns for Xu Yuan in five minutes.

After that, Xu Yuan finally experienced a complete assessment for the only time, completing the entire assessment.

In thirty minutes, Xu Yuan still managed to eat twenty-eight steamed buns.

Xu Lizhi waited until Xu Yuan passed the test and received a perfect score before smiling and asking, "The ultimate technique you were talking about earlier?"

Xu Lizhi, a self-proclaimed foodie, suffers most from the thought of having delicious food in front of him but being too full.

This has happened more than once.

Therefore, he was still very curious about the secret technique that Xu Yuan mentioned that allowed him to eat more.

Xu Yuan smiled, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his soul power.

The assessment is over, and he can now use his soul power.

His stomach was already so full that he couldn't hold on any longer, and now he was about to unleash his ultimate technique.

"Hey chubby boy, watch closely!"
