Magic Pattern Research Institute

[Ding!]

[Blue Mountain Workshop renovation successful. Please check the specific information, Lord!]

As the golden light faded.

A system prompt popped up.

Huang Yu eagerly brought up the information for the new building.

[Magic Pattern Research Institute]

[Current Grade: Perfect]

[Note: The Magic Pattern Research Institute is a growth-type building. Whenever significant achievements are made in magic pattern research, the Magic Pattern Research Institute will receive an upgrade across grades!]

[Current Tier: Tier 1]

[Note: To upgrade to Tier 2, a Fine Grade Magic Pattern Construct must be produced, along with 1000 Soul Crystals, 10000 units of wood, 6000 units of stone, and 600 units of Fine Iron.]

[Function 1 - Blue Mountain Workshop: The Magic Pattern Research Institute retains all functions and personnel of the Blue Mountain Workshop.

Currently, forty blacksmiths maintain their original levels and potential!

For every 15 Soul Crystals the lord pays, one Apprentice Level blacksmith can be added!]

[Function 2 - Magic Pattern Research Center:

The Magic Pattern Research Center is the core of the Magic Pattern Research Institute. All citizens engaged in magic pattern research and who achieve certain results will automatically obtain a secondary profession—Magic Pattern Construct Master!

All citizens can only obtain the sub-profession Magic Pattern Construct Master through learning and research.

The lord cannot increase the number of Magic Pattern Construct Masters through other means!

The promotion system for Magic Pattern Construct Masters is the same as for blacksmiths (Apprentice Level, Expert Level, Master Level, Saint Level, God Level!)]

"A growth-type building?"

"Meaning, the Magic Pattern Research Institute can grow indefinitely, potentially becoming an Epic or even Legendary building?"

Huang Yu was shocked, but boundless joy surged within him.

A blessing in disguise.

The renovated Magic Pattern Research Institute.

Not only did it not lose the functions of the Blue Mountain Workshop.

It also gained the possibility of cross-grade upgrades.

No matter how he looked at it, Huang Yu felt he had struck a massive bargain!

"Although it's been downgraded to a Tier 1 building overall."

"Compared to the attribute of infinite growth, this loss is nothing at all."

"Moreover, the three Expert Level blacksmiths and thirty-seven Apprentice Level blacksmiths are all still here."

"The Magic Pattern Research Institute can continue to produce equipment!"

Huang Yu felt that accepting the quest was an extremely wise decision.

"The Beast Tide last night, combined with the materials purchased yesterday through the discount artifact."

"The Tier 2 warehouse is almost full.

"If all of that is forged into equipment,"

"Purchasing the forty-five thousand Soul Crystals that the Amazon Tribe lacks will be a trivial matter!"

And the Sub-profession Magic Pattern Construct Master!

Huang Yu had specifically searched the Chaos Mall, but he hadn't found any information about this profession.

This meant it was a brand-new profession.

Currently, only he had the potential to produce Magic Pattern Construct Masters!

"This is simply a double celebration!"

First, he obtained the Extraordinary troop, the Amazon Female Warrior.

Then, he got a growth-type building and a territory-exclusive profession.

Huang Yu's heart was completely filled with joy.

"The only point of concern now might be the tier promotion of the Magic Pattern Research Institute..."

"To upgrade the Magic Pattern Research Institute to Tier 2, a Fine Grade Magic Pattern Construct needs to be produced."

"It's completely different from other buildings!"

Without even thinking, Huang Yu could guess.

With each upgrade to the Magic Pattern Research Institute, it seems they would need to craft Magic Pattern Constructs of varying grades.

This is where the capabilities of a Magic Pattern Construct Master would be truly tested.

If no research breakthroughs were made, the Magic Pattern Research Institute's level would remain stuck at Tier 1.

However, Huang Yu had confidence in Baili and the others, and in himself.

"If 40 blacksmiths can't figure it out, then we'll increase it to 100. If that's not enough, then 1,000!"

"Even if we have to brute-force it with sheer numbers, we'll create a Magic Pattern Construct!"

During the time Huang Yu was purchasing discounted goods, all the monsters brought back last night, except for the Mountain Monsters, had been processed.

Huang Yu didn't count them, directly uploading thousands of units of food to his shop.

Food was quite common on the trading platform now.

He wouldn't earn many Soul Crystals.

Huang Yu uploaded it simply because he couldn't consume it all himself.

Rather than let it rot in storage, he decided to sell it to other lords at a bargain.

After all, out of billions of lords, not everyone had a successful hunt last night.

Huang Yu led everyone to the Magic Pattern Research Institute.

The Magic Pattern Research Institute was a three-story building, covering an area of over three thousand square meters.

At its center stood a pointed, tower-like structure.

That was the Magic Pattern Research Center.

Baili and the other two followed closely behind Huang Yu.

Their expressions were filled with longing as they looked at the Magic Pattern Research Institute, as if seeing a future where they would become famous across the Chaotic Continent.

Huang Yu looked at the three of them and brought up their information panels.

[Blacksmith: Baili]

[Base Profession: Equipment Blacksmith]

[Level: Expert Level]

[Specialty: Swords and similar weapons]

[Potential: Has a 3% chance to be promoted to Saint Blacksmith.]

[Secondary Profession: None]

[Blacksmith: Cang Yun]...[Secondary Profession: None]

[Blacksmith: Mou Ping]...[Secondary Profession: None]

After seeing their information panels, Huang Yu furrowed his brow.

The concept for the Magic Pattern Constructs had come from these three.

Yet, after the Magic Pattern Research Institute was established, they hadn't gained the secondary profession of Magic Pattern Construct Master.

Was the barrier to becoming a Magic Pattern Construct Master that high?

It seemed crafting Magic Pattern Constructs wasn't as simple as he had imagined.

Pointing to the still relatively intact corpse of the Mountain Monster, Huang Yu said to the three:

"I'll leave the Mountain Monster to you. If you need anything, just come find me. I expect results from you soon!"

"Yes!"

The three bowed in unison.

Huang Yu nodded, and recalling the custom order he had just received, he said to them:

"Crafting a halberd of Rare Grade or higher using Flame Thunder Wood shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Upon hearing Huang Yu's words, Baili was the first to step forward and reply:

"Flame Thunder Wood is already a Rare Grade material, and among Rare materials, its performance is top-notch. Just crafting one halberd shouldn't be a problem!"

"That's good then."

Huang Yu nodded and then made arrangements: "I'll assign another 20 Apprentice Level blacksmiths to you shortly.

You can use any materials from the warehouse.

However, while researching magic patterns, don't neglect your equipment forging responsibilities."

I am in urgent need of a batch of equipment.

"You will lead the Apprentice Level Blacksmiths and make time to forge them!"

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

The three nodded.

If another 20 Apprentice Level Blacksmiths were added, the equipment forging efficiency of the Magic Pattern Research Institute would greatly improve.

It would not delay their research on magic patterns.

Consume 300 Soul Crystals.

Convert 20 villagers into Apprentice Level Blacksmiths.

After Huang Yu watched Baili and the other two enter the Magic Pattern Research Institute, he opened the trading platform and replied to Lord Zhongtian.

[The price and conditions are fine. You can send me the Flame Thunder Wood now!]

A moment later.

Huang Yu received a reply from Lord Zhongtian.

[I'll send you the Flame Thunder Wood right away!]

[By the way, would it be convenient for Lord Huanyu to add me as a friend?]

Huang Yu took out the Flame Thunder Wood and handed it over to the Apprentice Level Blacksmiths who were waiting nearby.

He then accepted Lord Zhongtian's friend request.

Given that he was in a good mood today, he decided to grant him a friend slot!
