Chapter 67 - Chapter 66 - Conceptual-Level Blessing

[High-Tier Enchanting Table MOD Installed]

"OK, let's get to it!"

Fu Zhu directly reached out and placed the obsidian, wood, and other materials from the cart onto the ground. When the Silvermane Guards saw that Fu Zhu was single-handedly moving obsidian blocks that were several cubic meters in size, their eyes almost popped out.

They knew very well how much effort it had taken them to get these obsidian blocks here; each one required several strong guards to heave and pant. Yet, Fu Zhu handled them effortlessly, as if they weighed nothing. This sight left them dumbfounded.

If Fu Zhu had shown up earlier to help move the obsidian, this wouldn't have been a job for just anyone. Of course, they could only think about it. If they really wanted to ask the esteemed Lord Fu Zhu for help, they feared Cocolia would skin them alive.

After Fu Zhu finished converting all the materials, he began operating the crafting table.

First, he placed the enchanting table, or rather, the core of the high-tier enchanting table, into his inventory. Then, he crafted an entire bookshelf and arranged it according to MC rules, surrounding the area. This was to ensure that the enchanting table being crafted later would have the best effect.

Fu Zhu could finally turn the pile of books he got from Svarog earlier into bookshelves. Cocolia and the others watched quietly from the side as Fu Zhu occasionally pulled things out of the crafting table, like a magic trick, clearing an empty space around him.

After finishing all the bookshelves, the enchanting table itself was the main event.

Plus, with the help of the [Item Management MOD], Fu Zhu didn't need to rack his brains to search for crafting recipes. He just needed to use the item management search function to find the recipe and craft it with a single click – simple, convenient, and fast!

In less than a few minutes, Fu Zhu had upgraded the obsidian, diamonds, and books into a high-tier enchanting table, placing it squarely in the center of the bookshelves that were emitting a faint, particle-like glow.

"Done!"

Cocolia and the others, who had been waiting patiently, finally perked up when they heard Fu Zhu announce he was finished. They all looked towards the high-tier enchanting table that Fu Zhu had set up, their eyes wide with curiosity, wondering what he planned to do with this setup.

"Old Bro, are you planning to open a shop here, specializing in enchanting?"

Fu Zhu, good-naturedly, flicked Xing's forehead, which was peeking out from behind Cocolia. He then addressed everyone:

"This is an enchanting table. It can bestow various mystical enchantments upon items. You can understand it as magic."

"Magic?!"

The word itself was quite outlandish in this world. Most things referred to as magic were actually the power of Paths, or perhaps the power of high-tier technology.

"Let me demonstrate for you all."

Fu Zhu picked up a discarded book from the ground, one that hadn't been made into a bookshelf, and placed it on the high-tier enchanting table. He prepared to enchant it for demonstration purposes. He chose a random enchanting effect that appeared, not caring what it was. Everyone watched intently as Fu Zhu operated the enchanting table, selecting from several unknown characters or symbols that appeared, and integrating them into the enchanted book.

March 7th tentatively reached out a hand to poke at those symbols and characters, but her hand passed right through them.

"How strange! What are these enchantments?"

March 7th tilted her head, observing Fu Zhu's back as he stood before the enchanting table.

Welt, however, saw something different from Bronya and Dan Heng.

He could vaguely sense an incredibly subtle power emanating from the enchanting table, a power that didn't belong to any Path he knew, nor was it something he recognized.

Could this be a power from his hometown? Or some kind of technology? Or perhaps it was the power of Fu Zhu's home?

"This is the power of Destiny, or you could say, the power of high-tier technology." Fu Zhu didn't explain further, as he hadn't expected the power of Destiny to cause any trouble.

"Done. Take a look at this interesting thing I've made." Fu Zhu presented the enchanted book to everyone. The enchantment he had randomly chosen was actually quite fitting for demonstration purposes.

[Flame] [Infinity]

"Can you help me enchant a pile of firewood?" March 7th immediately asked.

Fu Zhu glanced at her without responding, then turned to Bronya and the others, holding up the enchanted book in his hand.

"March 7th, step aside for a moment. Bronya, you try it first."

March 7th and Xing pouted simultaneously. Why were they always the ones being pushed aside? It seemed they couldn't understand Fu Zhu's preference for purple-haired big sisters and little sisters.

"Still me." Welt stepped forward with a wry smile.

Fu Zhu nodded and handed the enchanted book to Welt.

The moment Welt received the enchanted book, he tried to open it, but he found that no matter how much force he used, the book wouldn't budge. Under this enchanting effect, he could vaguely feel the book record a certain kind of [Burning] concept.

"Mr. Yang, use this enchanted book to set that pile of firewood ablaze. Give it a try."

Welt temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. Following Fu Zhu's instructions, he held the enchanted book and touched it to the pile of firewood. The instant the enchanted book made contact with the firewood, flames erupted and engulfed the woodpile. This scene made everyone exclaim in surprise.

Fu Zhu saw the firewood successfully ignite and nodded with satisfaction.

Cocolia was somewhat surprised. She asked, "Does this mean that if an enchantment is applied to a firearm, the bullets fired will also carry this flame effect?"

"That's not all." Fu Zhu shook his head. "You currently possess two enchantments: [Flame] and [Infinity]. [Flame] allows your bullets to ignite upon impact, and [Infinity] grants you infinite ammunition. Of course, infinite ammunition also means infinite magazine capacity."

Cocolia took the enchanted book from Welt, who was still somewhat dazed. She looked at the snowfield around them and then shot several bursts. Previously, her bullets would only pierce through the thick snow, but now, her bullets ignited upon impact, similarly capable of destroying the reinforced ice. This had already completely violated the law of conservation of matter!

"Giegie~" Cocolia shrieked, her voice sharp enough to kill, winking desperately at Fu Zhu. Her eyes were fixed on him, her gaze intense.

Fu Zhu felt a slight chill. "Don't worry, I can also enchant your weapons. And it won't cost you anything."

This enchantment was a type of Path of Destiny application. Who knew how many people would covet such power!

Welt held the enchanted book, a thoughtful look on his face, some troubling thoughts surfacing. "This is a conceptual-level blessing. More importantly," Welt looked at Fu Zhu from an angle that didn't show his face, "this kind of blessing actually consumes your 'experience value,' doesn't it?"

He could feel this blessing being applied to the book! If people coveted this kind of blessing, wouldn't they then target Fu Zhu?

Fu Zhu smiled faintly. "My experience value is quite high, so it's fine. Next, it's Bronya's turn."

Bronya nodded, stepped forward, and handed her rifle to Fu Zhu.

Fu Zhu took Bronya's rifle and placed it on the high-tier enchanting table, pondering for a moment. Then, he gave Bronya's rifle the [Infinity] enchantment. After enchanting it, he took it off the high-tier table and handed it back to Bronya.

Bronya took her rifle, and after looking at the surrounding snow, she fired several shots. Previously, she had to reload after emptying a magazine, but now, she could fire continuously without her bullets diminishing at all. This was just like having a gun with infinite ammo, a cheat!

The concept of "infinity" was truly enviable to everyone.

"Just like that, my bullets won't consume additional energy. It's as if this one rifle is inherently infinite." Bronya looked at her own rifle, then at Fu Zhu, trying to shoot a few more bursts. She clearly hadn't used up the rounds in her magazine, yet her rifle could still fire.

"This has already violated the law of conservation of matter!"

"Big Bro, Big Bro, I want one too! I want [Infinity]!" March 7th eagerly tugged at Fu Zhu's sleeve.

Xing also chimed in, "Instructor, Instructor, I want one too!"

"Alright, alright, line up." Fu Zhu patted their heads. "This kind of conceptual enchantment... I actually haven't quite figured out some of them myself yet."

"Mr. Fu, you don't need to force yourself. We shouldn't be too greedy." Welt advised Fu Zhu after finishing his experiment. He then turned to Cocolia and said, "Great Guardian, with this method, we can completely resolve the issue of the Eternal Freeze. We just need to order a batch of bullets from the arms factory. The effect will be even better if we add some enchantments."

Cocolia nodded solemnly. After returning to the city, she would immediately have this matter handled. She and the others then looked at Fu Zhu, a faint, almost imperceptible green light emanating from their bodies. These specks of green light were indeed being absorbed by Fu Zhu from their somewhat exhausted bodies.

"So this is your method. We understand."

Fu Zhu nodded slightly, "For now, let's resolve the matter here. March 7th and Xing, follow me. The rest of you can go back first."

The solution Fu Zhu proposed was simply too outrageous.

Everyone nodded. It was better to leave some things to Fu Zhu.

Welt, after finishing his rifle, also thoughtfully admonished Fu Zhu, "Mr. Fu, although your experience value might be high, you still need to be careful. Using this kind of power, which is essentially attacking monsters, might consume a lot. After all, we..."

As Fu Zhu was saying this, March 7th and the others suddenly saw Fu Zhu flicker and then disappear from right in front of them!

"What's going on? Old Bro?!"

"Mr. Fu?!"

"So this is how it is... I understand now. But you should still be careful." Welt was also a little worried. The enchantment Fu Zhu displayed was, to a certain extent, more like imposing a conceptual form onto an item.

Just now, when Cocolia's rifle was enchanted with [Infinity], Welt had carefully observed that rifle, which was essentially no different from a cheat!

Compared to March 7th and Bronya, who were just having fun, Welt was more concerned that Fu Zhu only wanted [Infinity].

Not to mention, his hand might still possess other conceptual enchantments.

Before Fu Zhu had fully matured, he felt the Astral Express crew absolutely had to protect him. After the experiment in the snowfield concluded, everyone planned to return. However, just as they were about to leave, they heard the sound of the wind whistling from behind them.

Question: Now that you've seen it, are you interested?

Fu Zhu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Welt and the others and said, "I need to step away for a moment, don't worry about me."

With that, Fu Zhu's figure vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Old Bro?!"

"Mr. Fu?!"

Seeing Fu Zhu disappear, although they had experienced this before, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Could it be that Old Bro's power has been depleted, so he disappeared?"

"Gah! Don't say such things, hurry up and stop!"

...

When Fu Zhu opened his eyes again, he found himself once more in Nous's Space Between Paths.

The first thing he discovered was Fu Zhu. He immediately walked over and stood beside him.

Herta saw Fu Zhu arrive and couldn't wait to ask her question.

"Have you comprehended a new Path?"

Fu Zhu was taken aback. He looked at Nous, then at the Iron Golem standing below him, completely bewildered.

"What new Path have I comprehended?"

Nous asked, "Your so-called enchanting method, does it involve stripping concepts from reality and then carving them onto certain objects?"

"You guess." Fu Zhu didn't confirm or deny, instead tossing the Redstone dust and lever from his inventory, staring at Nous.

Nous had met Fu Zhu several times now, so he let the matter drop. Speaking further would achieve nothing without substantial evidence.

Nous noticed the subtle change in Fu Zhu's expression, paused for a moment, then asked again:

"Are you thinking of using Redstone technology against me? Here, even though this isn't my true body, Redstone technology is ineffective against me. My body's data is too immense."

"Hahaha, how could that be? We're old acquaintances. Why would I think of using a lever on you to test if you can be shut down? By the way, where is your main body?"
