I'm not a magician

"Thoughts..." Linton squeezed his chin, his eyes lingered on the chaotic markings on the manuscript, and pondered, "I have counted the winning equipment in the past, and the long sword and staff accounted for most of them, followed by armor and shields. Of course, it is also possible that there are more equipment masters who are good at this kind of equipment... But I think, if we want to catch the judges' attention at once, we may try to refine other types of equipment."

After Linton finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Bud, and quickly said: "This is just a small suggestion from me, and I will follow the master's arrangement."

Bud didn't show dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of discussing with students.

He nodded: "Your idea is very good. Refining weapons and armor in the competition is indeed the path that most equipment engineers will choose. If you want to pursue novelty, you may not have to try other equipment, but this is also very risky One way, with a good idea, you can win easily, but if you make a mistake, it will be irreversible."

Bud said, and drew two circles on the manuscript paper, one with weapons and armor written in it, and the other with others.

"What do you think, Ji Chi?" Bud put the quill aside and turned to look at Ji Chi.

He and Ji Chi are quite familiar, and he deeply understands that this kid's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people.Although some ideas are easy to make people want to beat him up, but sometimes, he needs crazy ideas beyond common sense to break through a new path.

Sure enough, Ji Chi glanced left and right at the two circles on the draft paper, and smiled frivolously: "Children only make choices, adults must of course have to!"

He reached for the pen and drew a big plus sign between the circles.

Bud couldn't understand that special symbol, but he had an intuition that something good would happen, so he frowned and said, "Now is not the time to joke, how can anyone take two design drawings to participate in the competition!"

Ji Chi glanced at him puzzled, drew a firewood man in two or three strokes in the blank space, then circled the man, and said, "Hey, isn't this just a picture, why do you need to disassemble a suit? Come on?"

From Ji Chi's point of view, suits occupy one inventory column, and parts also occupy an inventory column. Strictly speaking, both can be regarded as one item, and there is no need to look at them separately.

But what he overlooked is that ordinary players don't have the time, money, and guts to afford him. Some parts can't be bought, and some suits can't be put together. How can they get a complete set of equipment casually like him? ?

Linton looked at Ji Chi with a hopeless look: "How dare you say it... But unfortunately, the suit is a combination of several equipment, even if the equipment assessor loses an eye, there is no way to put it together." They look like one!"

Ji Chi didn't speak, just blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at Chloe, and then at Bud.After repeating this several times, Bud's expression gradually changed from dissatisfaction to that of reality.

After Bud understood it, he suddenly smiled and sighed: "You're right, why didn't I think of it..."

Linton: "Yeah, suits or something—"

"We can indeed try to develop a unique suit." Bud smiled and looked at Chloe, "It must be a unique device."

Linton: "???"

"Wait, wait... What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Linton looked at them with his head in his arms, suspicious of life, "We are going to make a suit? Can this pass the first selection???"

A steady stream of inspiration poured into Bud's mind. His eyes were astonishingly bright at the moment, and he laughed at Linton: "Young man, you still haven't jumped out of your limitations! Then let me ask you, in your opinion, is a piece of equipment What's it like?"

Linton put down his hand, glanced sideways at the scattered parts on the workbench, and asked hesitantly, "A hand? A piece of clothing? Or a pair of shoes?"

Bud shook his head: "No, it can be something more complete, like a house, or...a person."

Linton was shocked, and he stumbled with a dry smile: "Haha, how, how is it possible, it's too ridiculous! How can a device be a person..."

Chloe stopped playing with the doll in her hand, and squinted at Linton with an unhappy look on her face.

Linton misunderstood her gaze, and asked her expectantly, "Chloe, what do you think?"

Chloe turned her head and said coldly: "Chloe obeys the master's instructions in everything."

Linton was hit in the soul, clutching his chest, looking at her with unbearable heartache: "Woo, don't be afraid, speak out boldly! I will definitely find a way to buy your slave contract and make you a free person ..."

Bud also gave Ji Chi a sour look, sighed, turned his head and explained to Linton patiently: "Suit is just a general term, we can connect all suits together to form a whole, so that we can become a whole." It is a separate device. As for whether the device is something else...you will know later."

Bud was worried that Linton would not be able to understand, so he put a connected piece of equipment on the fireman drawn by Ji Chi, covering everything from fingers to toes: "Just like this, we can use this piece of equipment The hands give attack, the body provides defense, and the legs and feet increase speed, it can be a whole, and it can also have more functions."

"However, this can only be regarded as opportunistic, we can also add a unique ability to it." Ji Chi thought for a while, lowered his head and looked at his palm, the magic power escaped from it, and soon attracted all kinds of people floating in the air. kind of element.

He controlled them to switch between each other, and said with a smile: "You say, if you can package an all-round magician with all kinds of equipment, wouldn't it be very exciting?"

Time is passing by bit by bit, not only the equipment academy, but everyone is paying attention to this sensational competition in the mainland. The winning equipment master will not only be the best in his own field, but will also be sought after by all professions.

The School of Equipment gave the participating students a holiday early, so that they can devote themselves to research and prepare for the upcoming first selection.

At the same time, in the [Forging House] at No. 223 North Street, screams continued to be heard one after another.

"Ah! Look at what this is! The corundum furnace in the Northland!" Linton couldn't believe it!

"The Ugin Anvil of the Forest of Darkness!" Bard was full of surprises!

"Phosphorus ice and fire in the Boneyard!" Linton's eyes widened!

"Soul amber under the abyss!" Bard exclaimed, holding his head!

Ji Chi's face was serious, he began to regret that he shouldn't have brought the two refining monsters here.

He rubbed his ears, looked helplessly at the frantically moving figures in the room, and really wanted to turn back.

Chloe is very familiar with this place. She opened her eyes for the first time on the forging platform on the right to appreciate the colorful world.Chloe observed the forge house inch by inch, and there hasn't been much change here—all the tools are in good condition, the furnace is clean, and the precious materials have not decreased but increased, and they have been taken good care of by the new owner.

Chloe smiled unconsciously. She recalled the time when Fitos added parts to her. She picked up a small hammer and tapped on her wrist.

"Dangdang——" The sound of metal and iron colliding brought back the rationality of the two lunatics. Linton looked back at Chloe in confusion, habitually guessing what kind of material the knocking sound was.

However, Chloe only held up a delicate little hammer, and the other hand was empty.

Linton ignored the strangeness that flashed across his mind, his face was flushed with excitement, he seemed to have come to heaven, and his whole body was blissful: "My God, Ji Chi! Are you the son of the God of Forging? Do you know what these are? ! I have only seen it in classics!"

Bud stuck to the furnace beside him, lovingly touching it: "This is a long-lost craft, how did you get it..."

Ji Chi sighed and avoided the topic: "By the way, isn't it the time to visit now? I remember who was still disgusted by coming here to waste time?"

Bud coughed twice, and then said sternly: "That's right, we don't have much time. We still have to confirm the materials, clarify our thinking, and assign tasks... Mmmm, let's start now."

The sounds of beating, testing, and debate in the forge lasted for nearly a month, and the first selection was finally approaching.

A month of uninterrupted research and experiments drained everyone's energy. After Ji Chi exhausted all his mana during the test, he collapsed half-dead on the ground, and was finally thrown to the temporary bed by Chloe as if picking up the trash superior.

Bud's spirit was not as vigorous as that of young people, so he nestled in a corner early, closed his eyes and rested.

Only Linton braced himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the completed design for a long time.

With flickering lights in his eyes, he reached out to take a piece of manuscript paper, and laid it on the original design drawing to describe. When he described the most core part of magic transformation, he thought for a long time, bit his lip, and wrote Depict it, and complete it little by little.

After the drawing was finished, Linton straightened his sore waist, rolled up the two design drawings casually, and put one of them into his magic bag.

He stood up unsteadily, yawned hugely, and said to Chloe, "Chloe, it's getting late, are you going back now?"

Chloe took the quilt, lightly covered Ji Chi and Bud, shook her head with her back to Linton, and said softly: "You go first, Chloe will take Grandpa Bud home later .”

Linton was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, he waved at her dizzily: "Then I'll go first, and come back tomorrow."

After a month, Linton finally had a good night's sleep in the dormitory, and he opened his eyes energetically in the morning light shining into the room.

The bedroom was empty, only Linton was alone.

Linton had long been used to being in the same room with others, and rubbed his face uncomfortably in the silence, hummed a song to pack himself, locked the door, and walked towards North Street with a bright face.

From the Institute of Mechanical Engineering to North Street, just passing through Central Street, Linton stopped and thought for a while, planning to reward himself by going to the street to buy a delicious meatloaf for breakfast.

Although it was still very early, there were already quite a few passers-by on the street. Linton waited in line for a while before buying three meatloaf. Go to the shop.

He remembered that Bud had praised the meatloaf from this restaurant. He must have liked it very much, but he didn't know what Chloe liked... Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to see her eat much this month.

No wonder the waist is so thin... Linton blushed, hurriedly shook the image that appeared in his head, and walked forward quickly.

Bud also had a rare good sleep at his own home last night. He slowly got up and opened the store door sleepily. The light reflected brilliant colors in the shop windows and showcases. Turned around and looked around.

Chloe is not in the store, she should have gone to Ji Chi's place early in the morning.

Bud lowered the corner of his mouth and snorted softly, like a child who had his favorite candy robbed, he walked into the shop unhappy.

At this time, the silver bell on the door frame made a crisp sound, which was a signal that a guest had come in.

Bud didn't look back, and said in a bad tone: "Sorry, we are closed today, please come back."

No one agreed behind him, and there was no movement of going out. Bud frowned and turned around, his eyes met a young man who looked at him with a smile.

Wearing a gorgeous shirt woven with gold thread and silk, the young man stood elegantly and dignifiedly among the cramped showcases, which was incompatible with the dull and simple shop.

Bud looked at him for a while, and asked this young man who was clearly dressed as an aristocrat in puzzlement: "Who are you? What do you want me for?"

The young man smiled, leaned slightly and gave him a special salute: "Good morning, Master Borg, I am also an instrument technician, and my name is William."

He raised his head, saw Bud's shocked gaze, and said softly, "I want to make a deal with you."

After Bud was surprised, his expression returned to calm: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness, but I think you probably don't like the equipment in my shop."

William shook his head lightly: "I'm sorry that I don't have time to appreciate your works today. I have something more important to come to you, which is about tomorrow's first selection."

Bud frowned: "What do you want to say?"

William raised the corners of his mouth and did not speak. Instead, he took out a roll of manuscript paper from the magic bag and slowly unfolded it in front of Bud.

"What an amazing design." William stared at the blueprint in his hand with admiration. "If I hadn't bought it at a high price, I might have really missed out on this competition..."

When Bud saw the familiar manuscript, his face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at him in shock and anger.
