Qin Feng examined the jade slip in his hand. "Thanks, Sister Bao'er."
Sister Bao'er continued, "Don't mention it! It's just a return favor. Since you like crafting things, this is perfect for you. Also, once you've learned it, make me something fun, okay? Hehe."
"I'll leave you to study it. I'm going back now."
With that, Sister Bao'er headed back to her room to sleep.
Only then did Qin Feng begin to examine the jade slip.
He applied pressure, and the slip shattered.
A stream of consciousness automatically flooded into his mind.
"*Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony: Puppet Chapter*?!!"
Qin Feng was astonished.
"I never expected it to be about making puppets!"
He had previously obtained the *Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony: Qi-Circulation Chapter*, a breathing and energy cultivation technique. Its efficiency was over ten times that of Blue Star's *Qi-Refining Art*!
To think that what Sister Bao'er had obtained was also from the *Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony*!
"Does that mean the *Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony* is a series of cultivation techniques?"
If there was a *Qi-Circulation Chapter* and a *Puppet Chapter*, what else was there?
Qin Feng didn't have time to delve deeper. He was far more interested in the technique he had just acquired.
He immediately began to study it.
After a long while, Qin Feng finally grasped its true essence!
"It really is for making puppets."
"Jarvis, I can now create simple puppets from the cultivation world. Perhaps before long, you'll have a 'companion'."
Jarvis replied, "Sir, my existence is irreplaceable."
Qin Feng: "..."
"Yes, yes, I didn't say I was replacing you. No need to get jealous!"
Before he could delve deeper into the art of puppet-making, he had to prioritize solving the issue of the mecha's protection against violent spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Jarvis, try embedding a layer of Mysterious Iron alloy into the mecha's lining. Test its effectiveness in protecting against spiritual energy fluctuations."
Qin Feng had just learned from the *Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony: Puppet Chapter* that many materials not only absorb, enhance, and store spiritual energy but also provide protection.
Among these were Mysterious Iron and Crimson Crystal.
"Understood, Sir," Jarvis replied.
Qin Feng retrieved a piece of Mysterious Iron and a Crimson Crystal from the battlefield warehouse and placed them on the table.
Inside the workshop, two robotic arms sprang into action.
A laser emitter rose from the workbench.
Benben clamped the Mysterious Iron and placed it onto the laser emitter's tray.
The device activated, and the tray retracted.
The Mysterious Iron floated in mid-air.
Then, a red laser beam shot out, its blinding brightness bathing the entire workshop in crimson.
In less than ten seconds, the entire block of Mysterious Iron melted into a floating liquid mass, churning continuously above the table.
It looked like a living super-cell.
"Sir, the melting point of Mysterious Iron is only 300 degrees. We can create the inner lining without using the 3D printer."
Qin Feng smiled and nodded. "That's an unexpected bonus."
"You may carry on. I'll take a break. Wake me up to test it once it's finished."
"Yes, sir."
Just as he lay down, Qin Feng opened his eyes and asked, "How long will it take to print Sister Bao'er's mech?"
"Sir, Sister Bao'er has a petite build. It will require much less material and time—only two days."
Qin Feng grinned mischievously. "Sister Bao'er is 'petite'? Heh, Jarvis, you've misunderstood the word 'petite.' She's actually quite big."
"Sir, I do not understand."
"Haha," Qin Feng decided to stop joking around and commanded, "Since it only takes two days, let's spend the first day printing drones. We'll need to conduct extensive terrain reconnaissance after the new map refreshes."
Not only did he need to explore the terrain and resources near the National Portal, but more importantly, Qin Feng wanted to discover what kind of place the National Battlefield truly was.
In a full day, they could print 48 drones!
If any of the drones sent out earlier had replacements, they no longer needed to return. They wouldn't need to survey the terrain or search for resources near the National Gate either—they could just keep exploring forward in their respective directions!
"I want to see just how big this National Battlefield really is!"
Even if the National Battlefield were a planet as large as Blue Star, a drone flying at 200 kilometers per hour could circle it in just a few days.
"Sir, you promised to make a mech for Sister Bao'er," Jarvis reminded.
Qin Feng was speechless.
"Right, I promised to give it to her in three days. A man's word is his bond. If I said three days, it'll be three days—not a day sooner!"
Jarvis: "...Sir, your logic is completely sound."
With the faint humming sound from the basement, Qin Feng gradually fell asleep.
Less than three hours later, Jarvis woke him up.
"Sir, the test armor plate is ready. I need your assistance to proceed with the next experiment."
Qin Feng dragged himself out of bed, still bleary-eyed.
He walked to the workbench, where the Mark III chest plate—the one Sister Bao'er had torn off—lay waiting.
It was the perfect piece for the experiment.
The inner lining, which Jarvis had just finished crafting from Mysterious Iron, was already installed inside.
Numerous fine wires were connected to the lining, their other ends plugged into the workbench.
"Alright, I'm starting."
Qin Feng formed a hand seal, his spiritual power circulating rapidly. Then, he thrust his palm forward with all his might.
*Bang...*
Not only did it fail to create a shockwave, but the spiritual energy wasn't even visible to the naked eye. If someone had seen him strike the wall with an empty palm, they would have mistaken it for a powerful palm wind.
In reality, it was the spiritual energy he had unleashed!
Still, compared to Sister Bao'er, it was incredibly weak...
"How was it?" Qin Feng asked.
Jarvis replied, "Based on the current data measured before and after your strike, the Mysterious Iron lining provides approximately 30% protection against spiritual energy fluctuations."
"Do it again. I need an exact number!"
Qin Feng and Jarvis conducted seven consecutive tests. The final result showed a protection effect of 31%.
"Only 31%? I need 100%!" Qin Feng stroked his smooth chin in thought.
Then, they proceeded to test the protection effect of the Crimson Crystal.
Initially, Qin Feng wanted to go back to sleep and let Jarvis handle it. However, Jarvis discovered that after melting the Crimson Crystal with a laser, all the spiritual energy it contained dissipated, causing it to lose its fundamental properties as a material.
"Sir, Crimson Crystal has a lower melting point."
"I'll do it myself."
This time, Qin Feng took action personally. Using the method from the *Heaven-Opening Grand Ceremony: Puppet Chapter* he had just learned, he used his spiritual power to melt the Crimson Crystal.
Afterward, working in coordination with Jarvis, he finished the inner lining of the other breastplate in less than half an hour.
"Let's test the data again!"
"Yes, sir."
Qin Feng worked in the workshop all night.
The final conclusion was that Crimson Crystal's defensive effectiveness reached 67%, more than twice that of Mysterious Iron.
Qin Feng looked at the data and was quite satisfied.
"For now, I'll use Crimson Crystal for the inner lining. I'll replace it once I find a better material."
He took out over 30 pieces of Crimson Crystal, circulated his cultivation technique, and melted them all.
The rest of the work was left to Jarvis.
"Is it almost dawn?"
Qin Feng looked out the window and commanded Jarvis, "Jarvis, operate the Mark IV to lie in wait at the border of Kimchi Country. If you see them come out, kill them all without mercy!"
"Yes, sir."
