Invitation ### Even with a laser engraver, it couldn't handle every part of the carving process. The machine Li Bai had bought was only good at precision work on flat surfaces. It could ensure accuracy, but it struggled with molds whose surfaces rose and fell unevenly, making it difficult to put its strengths to use.
There might be multi-axis, multi-linkage laser engravers out there, but they weren't easy to buy. Even if he could get one, a private residence like the Duplex Apartment couldn't accommodate it.
Low ceilings, narrow doorways, insufficient voltage—these were all limitations. Setting up a factory at home came with too many restrictions, while putting the equipment in Little Demoness Hong Li's Li Pearl Space meant he couldn't guarantee a steady power supply.
This was Li Bai's first time making a mold, and he was only testing an idea. He wasn't using particularly high-grade materials. After making a few adjustments, he had the laser engraver handle some of the simpler work, then took over himself to lay out the remaining magic array.
He blew away the shavings, then finally began laying out the magic array in earnest.
Since this was only a test piece, it didn't need to be made with especially good materials or to a particularly high standard. Before long, he reached the final step.
With Little Red Carp chanting a spell inside her Li Pearl Domain and condensing spiritual fire, he spent over four hours making seven prototypes.
Each one was only about the size of his palm, looking like a little round biscuit. The magic array runes on their surfaces were similar, though each had slight differences.
When making a magical artifact, every rune and line drawn determined the finished product's effects. Any mistake would most likely make it fail; in rare cases,
