Li Yunxian suddenly realized something, her eyes lighting up.
The Star Era—just hearing that, she knew the technological level here was higher than her own world’s.
Her assignment was saved!!
Li Yunxian quickly wrote out her assignment and handed it over for others to see.
No matter whether they knew artifact crafting or not, everyone crowded around, their heads squeezing together to look, then one by one, they stepped back defeated.
They recognized every single character, but when combined, they couldn’t understand it at all.
Their minds seemed to have malfunctioned.
Even the person who initially offered to help look at it sheepishly smiled and admitted, “I don’t understand it either.”
But he didn’t just stop there, “Teacher Li, why don’t you try shouting over at the Trading Market? Those specializing in manufacturing there should understand this better.”
“I only know a little about artifact crafting, but my technical level isn’t great; otherwise, I wouldn’t be wandering the wild zones, mainly making a living by hunting monsters.”
Li Yunxian wasn’t surprised. The ideas his words gave her were the most useful.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Li Yunxian cheerfully thanked them and hurried toward the city.
Soon, Li Yunxian arrived at the Trading Market as suggested.
The market had expanded considerably, now crowded with people.
New things had appeared, and when local capacity overflowed, it naturally spilled over into other places.
The useful items circulated, and people from other cities naturally appeared here to purchase the resources they wanted.
Most people in the market didn’t recognize Li Yunxian, but the shop owners here were familiar with her.
“Teacher Li, back to buy more stuff again!” Someone enthusiastically greeted her soon after.
“No, I couldn’t finish my assignment, so I came to ask Master Zhao for help.” Li Yunxian answered straightforwardly.
Master Zhao was the artifact craftsman Li Yunxian knew who was most aligned with the type and direction of her assignment.
Li Yunxian seeking help?
Those two words together were quite rare.
What kind of assignment could possibly stump Li Yunxian enough to seek their help?
The news spread quickly.
By the time Li Yunxian reached Master Zhao’s shop, the area was already packed with people.
Li Yunxian:
She couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. “Are you all done with business?”
Everyone cheerfully replied, “We have shop assistants now, so stepping away for a bit is no problem.”
“With the support and authorization from Teacher Li, everyone’s businesses online and offline are doing well. Now that we have the funds, no one’s running stalls anymore—they’ve all opened proper shops.”
Those with skills or guts have become bosses.
Those without cultivation and a bit more honest—who couldn’t even take down the lowest-grade beasts in Wanwuwu before—can now work part-time as shop assistants to earn game currency.
It’s actually a decent income.
Since everyone said that, Li Yunxian had no intention to rush them off.
She directly took out the assignment she’d just written.
Everyone lowered their heads to take a look.
Master Zhao, the one Li Yunxian had chosen, was the first to finish reading. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened. “This assignment is really well-made.
It’s distinctive, challenging, and profound, and the things to be produced have practical uses—it’s not a purely theoretical research product.
Most importantly, the difficulty level is well controlled; it truly seems like something someone at the Qi Refining stage could push to the limit and complete.”
“Your teacher is very strong.” Master Zhao openly praised.
Others who finished reading also voiced their agreement.
As for whether Li Yunxian should have been given such a difficult task, no one present thought twice.
Come on, this was their Teacher Li!
In fact, the difficulty level of this assignment was exactly what they expected of her.
This was the kind of problem Li Yunxian was supposed to handle.
Master Zhao mulled it over, then asked Li Yunxian, “What’s your current approach to this assignment?”
“Li Yunxian obediently explained her rough ideas.”
“Master Zhao thought for a while and said, “The first point you mentioned here could actually be achieved with a Ling Energy Matter Control Furnace, but it would require balancing calibration.”
Li Yunxian listened carefully to Master Zhao’s explanation, then asked, “What kind of device is a Ling Energy Matter Control Furnace? I haven’t seen this in any of the workshop equipment I’ve studied.”
It seemed to be a device exclusive to the Star Era world.
Master Zhao was surprised that the first thing Li Yunxian asked after his explanation was this.
Anyone who practiced artifact crafting normally should have known about it.
But recalling the myriad of bizarre things Li Yunxian had brought out earlier—
Alright then, their Teacher Li really had nothing to do with normal.
He briefly gave an answer.
Li Yunxian compared it to the equipment functions she remembered and said, “I only have a Multifunction Temperature Control Furnace…”
Master Zhao was stunned, exclaiming, “That’s a version two generations old.”
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd laughed: “Old Zhao, just look—our Teacher Li is still working on assignments, so you know she’s still learning.”
“The equipment at the Cultivation School is only two generations behind; that’s actually pretty new, don’t expect too much.”
“Teacher Li, the one we use at home now is the Multifunction Temperature Control Furnace. Compared to that, you only need to add two more operation steps.”
“Old Zhao, about that cellular harmonization you mentioned, I don’t think you should use Pitch Essence. Azure would be more suitable…”
Li Yunxian listened as everyone jabbered nonstop. It seemed like it wouldn’t end anytime soon, and they were blocking Master Zhao’s shop, so she quickly rented a meeting room.
***
Two hours later, Li Yunxian held a fully mature assignment plan in her hands, but her head felt foggy.
The conversations of more than a dozen people had thoroughly transferred the knowledge into Li Yunxian’s mind.
And not only assignment knowledge—she also learned about the differences and upgrade directions of equipment between the two worlds.
Damn, it seemed she really had to grow her brain!
Li Yunxian rubbed her head and then smiled gratefully at everyone. She took out a pile of items from her Storage Artifact.
“Thank you all for your help. Without you, I really wouldn’t have known how to handle this.”
Everyone looked down at the items Li Yunxian handed them, and they were exactly what they wanted.
They were immediately happy but firmly refused.
“Teacher Li, when you teach us, you never ask for anything, so just answering a question is the least we can do.”
“And it’s been a long time since we’ve had a chance like this to discuss our thoughts with others. The last time must have been… the last time?” The speaker laughed at the end.
He couldn’t even remember when that last time was.
“Ever since graduation, I’ve had zero chances like this.”
Many people nodded in agreement, their faces full of nostalgia.
After leaving the school, many people drifted into society like isolated islands.
Although there are industry exchanges and such, those are mostly for high-level big shots. For the small players at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages, they’re just fringe participants.
Getting to join and even just listen is already a good deal.
“Teacher Li, if you need us again next time, remember to call us!” Everyone patted Li Yunxian’s shoulder.
They felt they gained a lot from this discussion.
Their thinking had opened up a lot.
Ideas kept bursting out in clusters.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Li Yunxian decisively decided to rent this meeting room long-term.
Since property in Wanwuwu could only be leased, not sold, she couldn’t just buy it outright. But she didn’t mind paying the rent.
After all, she wasn’t short on game currency these days.
“Then before I graduate, I’ll be troubling you all.” Li Yunxian packed up the gifts she had prepared without a hint of hesitation.
“Alright.” Everyone laughed and responded.
