Artisan Talent Inspiration Outburst!

Lu Yuan said softly, "If I were solely focused on avoiding risks, I wouldn't be able to cross the Pangu Continent and return to my homeland."

"Everyone mocks the Meida Civilization, but who isn't part of the Meida Civilization?"

Old Wolf lay leisurely on the ground, watching its master fall into a slight melancholy...

It was, after all, carefree.

It was a very old wolf with a strong will to survive, only wanting to chase after beautiful she-wolves.

However, if its master wanted to do something dangerous, it wouldn't object too much. After all, it didn't understand.

Lu Yuan also lay on the ground, stroking the dog's head.

Life, whether human or canine, was just like this. One had to get used to the ups and downs...

Regardless of the environment, one's destiny was always in one's own hands.

As he thought this, a faint spark of inspiration suddenly arose in his heart.

This spark of inspiration came from nowhere, as if a warm current flowed up his spine, completely filling his entire brain!

His mind felt blocked by something, needing to be released to its fullest!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "Strange feeling, what's happening?"

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples with his fingers, opened his eyes again, and found that everything in his vision had become exceptionally clear!

He couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he quickly appraised himself and found that he had gained a positive buff.

Inspiration Outburst: Due to the stress in your life, you are currently in a state of inspiration outburst. Hurry and craft a piece of equipment! You are almost 100% guaranteed to craft a decent piece of equipment!

It was hard to describe this feeling of overflowing inspiration, as if his entire nervous system had extended outside his brain, connecting with everything in the universe... Everything in the world seemed to have a pulse, beating.

Lu Yuan was speechless. He remembered a talent he had acquired a few days ago, "Artisan Talent."

Artisan Talent: Your spatial imagination is greatly enhanced, and you are adept at using any tool. Occasionally, inspiration will burst forth, allowing you to find a thread of order in the endless supernatural world.

He had never known what the so-called "inspiration outburst" was.

Now... he finally understood!

It turned out he was a "breakdown artist." As long as he was under immense pressure, he could generate inspiration!

"Am I really this kind of person?" Lu Yuan was both surprised and delighted.

But he didn't have any particularly good extraordinary materials on hand. Fire Lizard skin, King Snake slough, and black iron ore were all inferior Natural Oddities.

The King Snake slough hadn't been tanned yet, and the black iron ore hadn't been smelted.

Only the Fire Lizard skin was usable.

"Old Wolf, watch the door. Call me directly if anything happens."

"Ow?!"

Taking a deep breath, he lit an oil lamp, sat at the table, and focused most of his attention on the leather.

Then he took out "Daedalus' Sewing Tools".

He felt the "veins" and "heartbeat" of the leather!

This feeling was strange; most of the "veins" were chaotic, influencing and neutralizing each other.

To stimulate the leather's inherent abilities, these things had to be sorted out.

And Lu Yuan's flash of inspiration lay in sorting out these veins.

His fingers emitted a faint glow. This was the ironing of the Extraordinary Tinder, a necessary process to re-activate the abilities.

Immersed in a state of inspiration, the originally ethereal veins suddenly became traceable to him.

So much so that he completely forgot about time and risk.

He was engrossed in it, unable to extricate himself.

His fingers were rough, with calluses on his joints and palms, yet they were exceptionally flexible. Every needle and thread was woven between the "veins", trying not to damage the original attributes.

This method was something traditional industry could not achieve.

One night passed, and Lu Yuan sewed a pair of pants, a fur coat, and a pair of shoes.

That indescribable inspiration outburst also completely left him, as if he had fallen from the heavenly palace back to the mortal world. He could no longer feel those veins.

Lu Yuan came back to his senses, his boiling brain gradually calming down. He was a little tired, but extremely excited!

[Lu Yuan's Fire Lizard Set, Inferior Grade · Artificial Extraordinary Item (+++)]

[An artificial oddity crafted by the sewing master, Lu Yuan, condensing Lu Yuan's inspiration and effort. It must be admitted that the poor leather tanning technique dragged down this item.]

[This equipment can resonate with your Extraordinary Tinder, thereby activating its inherent abilities.]

[Ability 1: High Temperature Resistance. This set of equipment can temporarily withstand high temperatures of at least two thousand degrees Celsius, with excellent thermal insulation.]

[Ability 2: Sturdy. It is much sturdier than normal leather, and its durability is greatly increased.]

"This is what real equipment is! What were those things before, just rotten fish and shrimp!"

He excitedly put on this set of equipment and looked at himself in the mirror.

A sense of ancient luxury and nobility came over him. Its color was reddish-brown, with beautiful texture, soft luster, and a hint of deep oriental charm. During the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient Great Xia Civilization, people revered tigers and leopards and would skin them to make "hooded clothes"; during the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, leather could not be worn casually and was mainly used to make armor and combat boots for the army.

The set Lu Yuan made was combat clothing, flexible and lightweight.

Slightly activating the Extraordinary Tinder, the equipment resonated with the tinder and turned deep red, simultaneously activating the abilities of High Temperature Resistance and Sturdy.

The clothes and pants he had sewn before were like ugly ducklings facing swans.

The inherent abilities of these leathers were almost maximized.

After all, the quality of the leather itself was only at the inferior level. It was extremely difficult to surpass the limit.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan's own extraordinary knowledge was not rich enough. Even with a burst of inspiration, knowledge was still important.

Just like the mathematical genius Ramanujan, he still had to study at Cambridge University to better utilize his talent.

Without a large amount of knowledge, he could only make the equipment to this extent.

Lu Yuan stretched and washed his face by the water bucket. He felt like he was going crazy. Despite the dangerous environment, he had focused intently and single-mindedly on making equipment all night!

With only a pack of wolves guarding him!

But he was extremely excited, overjoyed to the extreme.

Like seeing a lover, he admired his creations over and over again.

The prefix "Lu Yuan's" gave him an inexplicable sense of pride.

Even if someone else obtained this set of equipment and appraised it, the term "Lu Yuan's" would still be there.

This was the "Naming Right"!

When creating, Lu Yuan already knew about the "Naming Right." This seemed to be a subtle, idealistic rule.

At that time, he could have chosen to give up the naming right—but how many artists would abandon their own children?

The (+++) above should be a mark of level increase.

Among Inferior-grade items, it was almost the highest level.

Without the state of Extraordinary Inspiration, it would be almost impossible for Lu Yuan to make another identical piece of equipment.

"It seems the 'Artisan Talent' is quite amazing!"

"But with an extra set of equipment, can I beat the Donkey-Head Monster?"

"I'll die, I need more!"

"Give me strength, give me inspiration! I'm about to participate in a battle I can't possibly win." Lu Yuan frantically tried to manipulate himself, wanting to experience another breakdown like an artist.

But in reality, he was incredibly happy. No matter how much he self-suggested, he couldn't get any inspiration. At most, he could only awkwardly sigh, "The most helpless thing in the world is to pursue something and not get it."

"The more you act like a simp, the less you get."

After finishing this piece of equipment, Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with his harvest this time.

He first slept for a few hours, chatted with the humans for a few minutes, and discussed his experience in making equipment.

Then he patrolled the surroundings, while also thinking about the possible upcoming battle.

His Spider Venom Gland had been used up, leaving only a bottle of plant oil soaked with the venom gland.

This bottle of oil still contained some Spider Venom.

Applied to a Dagger, it was a great weapon.

"But whether the venom is effective against the Donkey-Head Monster is a big problem. That thing's flesh is already rotten."

In addition, he also had the Fire Lizard's Fuel Crystal. This stuff could produce intense high temperatures, up to three thousand degrees Celsius.

Lu Yuan looked at the set of equipment with "High Temperature Resistance" and fell into thought.

Due to the unqualified tanning method, the leather was reduced from Common grade to Inferior grade, and the "High Temperature Resistance" could only resist temperatures around two thousand degrees Celsius.

Furthermore, this protection was only for a short time, not unlimited.

No matter how good the insulation was, heat would always transfer in.

Under these limitations, a few simple ideas emerged in his mind.

"Use fire?"

Perhaps due to psychological factors, the quiet city ruins seemed even more silent at this moment, with only the rustling sound of footsteps audible.

In early spring, all sorts of insects had come out, swarming everywhere, making people feel a bit annoyed.

"Awoo!" Old Wolf suddenly let out a roar, sprinted towards the corner of a collapsed house, craned its neck forward, kicked its hind legs, and sniffed the air repeatedly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan also stretched his neck and sniffed for a long time.

Although he was a Level 2 Extraordinary Creature, his sense of smell was still not as sensitive as the Level 0 Old Wolf.

He guided the energy of the Extraordinary Tinder to the tip of his nose, temporarily enhancing his sense of smell.

Suddenly, the sense of smell of the entire world seemed to become colorful.

Having too strong a sense of smell was actually not a good thing, as it meant being able to smell all sorts of natural stenches born in nature.

For example, the dog in front of him was quietly releasing its urine in the corner. The stench, magnified a hundred times, immediately made Lu Yuan's head spin. He subconsciously extended his foot and kicked the urinating dog away.

But gradually, Lu Yuan's heart sank...

He smelled a faint, very unique and distinct smell of decay.

Other stenches were fresh, but this decay was like aged cured meat, mixed in, like a streak of black in a colorful world!

As long as he tried to distinguish, he could still smell it.
