Chapter 235: Assembly Line Production! The Soul Dueling Machine is Released! (5300 words)
In the end, Wang Xiu did not agree to Jiang Yourong's proposal.
Firstly, because the Soul Dueling Machine is currently only in its initial version and still needs improvement. After Jiang Ling'er's experience, Wang Xiu had some new ideas.
Secondly, if everything develops according to Wang Xiu's expectations, the future Soul Dueling Machine could become a major revolution in the history of cultivation in the Ashen Essence World.
If one day these things were to be handed over to someone else for production and sales, it must be done with caution and care.
Priority should definitely be given to the Three Purities Immortal Gate, to maintain control. Other Immortal Gates within the Immortal Alliance would come second.
At most, some distribution rights could be given to Jiang Yourong.
Although he had a good relationship with Senior Jiang, there is a distinction between public and private matters.
With that in mind, Wang Xiu politely declined Jiang Yourong's offer and brought the Soul Dueling Machine to the Manipulation Lineage.
"Sister Mo!" In the bright palace, Mo Wuwei was sitting on the ground without any grace, surrounded by a large number of materials. She was completely focused on manipulating a puppet in front of her.
Perhaps for convenience, she was wearing a very short and refined outfit, very thin and without any frills.
The hem of her skirt was completely cut off, only reaching her thighs.
Even her dress was cut in half, exposing her snow-white arms to the air.
The short clothes accentuated her already well-proportioned figure, making her appear even more voluptuous.
She still wore that single lens glasses, completely focused. Occasionally, she would wipe away the sweat on her forehead, resembling a female research maniac.
Wang Xiu called her three times before she finally woke up. When she looked up, she was first surprised, but then remembered something and looked down at her attire, her face turning red.
Embarrassed, she stood up and said, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, why didn't you say anything when you came? Let me go change my clothes..."
"It's alright, Sister Mo, this is fine!" Wang Xiu smiled.
"I'll be quick, just wait for me!" Mo Wuwei insisted on changing and quickly left. She usually didn't care about these things, with only puppet techniques in her mind. She wouldn't pay attention to any strange looks.
But in front of Wang Xiu, for some reason, she didn't want to show her unrefined appearance, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Not long after, Mo Wuwei changed her clothes and came out again, her face still flushed.
"Junior Brother Wang Xiu, why did you suddenly come?" she asked.
"After returning from the Holy Realm, I haven't seen Sister Mo for a while and I missed you. So I came to visit today!" Wang Xiu smiled.
"..." Mo Wuwei blushed even more when she heard this, lowered her head, and didn't know what to say.
Wang Xiu was surprised. Mo Shijie is still socially anxious, just like before!
The two of them chatted casually for a while.
Most of the time, it was Wang Xiu doing the talking.
Mo Wuwei at most responded with "Hmm" and "Oh"!
When the atmosphere seemed right, Wang Xiu went straight to the point and took out the Soul Dueling Machine.
"Huh?" Mo Wuwei stared at the Soul Dueling Machine. Before Wang Xiu could speak, she let out a soft sound of surprise, as if she had sensed the extraordinary nature of this object.
"This is something I just made in these past few days. Mo Shijie, can you help me take a look?" Wang Xiu smiled.
Mo Wuwei took the Soul Dueling Machine, adjusted her glasses, and blinked her beautiful eyes as she closely examined the runes and structure on it.
While looking, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior Brother's mastery of manipulation techniques is becoming more and more exquisite!"
Just by touching it, she could sense the profoundness of the intricate runes on the surface of the Soul Dueling Machine, as well as the combination of every tiny component, just like Wang Xiu's style in the past.
It was simple to the extreme, yet extremely profound.
Just like the Great Dao, it was extremely simple.
Then, guided by Wang Xiu, Mo Wuwei experienced the effects of the Soul Dueling Machine and was instantly amazed!
"It's incredible!" Mo Wuwei exclaimed, her pretty face turning red with excitement, her full chest rising and falling rapidly, unable to calm down.
"Junior Brother, why did you give me such a treasure? I can't give you any advice..." Mo Wuwei couldn't understand. In her eyes, this Soul Dueling Machine was already flawless, reaching its peak in every aspect. Even her own master couldn't do better.
"To be honest, Shijie, I plan to mass-produce the Soul Dueling Machine, and the quantity needed is huge. It's difficult for me to do it alone!" Wang Xiu said truthfully.
"I see. But Junior Brother, the structure of this Soul Dueling Machine is so exquisite that even if we ignore the materials, just the manufacturing process alone is beyond the reach of disciples from my Manipulation Lineage... I'm afraid I can't help you..." When it came to puppets, Mo Wuwei suddenly seemed like a different person.
"It doesn't need to be exactly the same as what I made. It's okay if the quality is slightly lower. And... I brought something with me this time!" Wang Xiu smiled and took out an incredibly detailed blueprint, handing it to Mo Wuwei.
Mo Wuwei took it and glanced at it. At first, she was confused and didn't understand. It was just a series of extremely simple manufacturing steps with no difficulty.
But when she reached the end, she was surprised to find that it was actually a manufacturing diagram for the Soul Dueling Machine.
However, Wang Xiu had dismantled a complete Soul Dueling Machine into many parts that needed to be made by different people, and then assembled them together.
Mo Wuwei gasped, and this blueprint gave her a great shock. It was not only about the exquisite structure of the Soul Dueling Machine, but also a completely new way of thinking.
Puppets, they could actually be made like this?
She silently pondered in her heart and simulated... making astonishing judgments.
Following Wang Xiu's method, the efficiency of manufacturing the Soul Dueling Machine might increase several times over.
Moreover, it didn't matter how strong the puppet-making skills of the people involved were.
As long as the division was detailed enough, even ordinary people, even those who knew nothing about puppetry, could participate.
Yes.
The drawings that Wang Xiu gave to Mo Wuwei were the blueprints for the Soul Dueling Machine assembly line that he had conceived.
It must be admitted that assembly line production... is definitely one of the greatest inventions of the industrial era.
Originally, manufacturing was highly specialized, but after being broken down into detailed steps, even someone who knew nothing about it could produce precise instruments.
And the efficiency is extremely high!
Mo Wuwei was amazed, holding the drawings lovingly.
"Wang Xiu junior brother, are you really planning to entrust this matter to our Manipulation Lineage?" After a long time, Mo Wuwei finally recovered and said with excitement.
"Not to Manipulation Lineage!" Wang Xiu smiled and said, "To Immortal Gate!"
Mo Wuwei was taken aback, then smiled, "Rest assured, Manipulation Lineage will not let you down, junior brother. I will go find our master!"
"No rush..." Wang Xiu waved his hand to stop Mo Wuwei and said, "Regarding this Soul Dueling Machine, I still have some ideas and want to discuss them with senior sister!"
Mo Wuwei had great talent in manipulation and was spiritually gifted.
In Wang Xiu's opinion, she was not weaker than the Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven's Saint Child Beitang Feng in this aspect.
It's just that the Profound Secrets Grotto-Heaven relied on puppets and integrated them into their own fighting style, creating a unique style. Beitang Feng's puppetry skills were not weak, and his combat power was also extremely astonishing.
However, the Three Purities Manipulation Lineage was not like that. They were more like pure researchers.
There was no distinction between which was stronger or weaker.
So, even though her current level compared to Wang Xiu seemed a bit immature, she might still be able to provide some inspiration to Wang Xiu.
"Of course!" Mo Wuwei happily agreed when she heard Wang Xiu's words.
Studying manipulation together with Wang Xiu was something she had longed for, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
...
It was said to be a discussion.
In fact, most of the time, it was Wang Xiu imparting the core design ideas of the Soul Dueling Machine to Mo Wuwei.
He copied some of the Dao texts he used when constructing the virtual world and gave them to Mo Wuwei.
This allowed her to have some room for her own creativity.
"The meanings contained in these Dao texts are all different, representing different Great Dao. If we want to mass-produce, it's impossible for all of them to reach the highest level. Just absorbing one or two of them would be more efficient..."
"I see, it's really profound! In that case, junior brother, can we create some targeted Soul Dueling Machines, such as ones specifically for honing Sword Intent or cultivating boxing techniques?" Mo Wuwei was very intelligent and quickly understood, even making further connections.
"Senior sister is truly wise..." Wang Xiu praised without hesitation.
This was actually the method he had envisioned from the beginning. Now that Mo Wuwei had thought of it, he didn't need to explain it again.
Receiving Wang Xiu's praise, Mo Wuwei blushed slightly and became even more excited.
"In fact, the system inside the Soul Dueling Machine is still relatively vague. We can make the power levels of different ferocious beasts more specific..."
"Senior sister's words make sense!"
"..."
"The core of the Soul Dueling Machine is the crystal chip. All the mysteries and core runes are in your hands, junior brother. In that case..."
"When our system matures, maybe we can expand and let more people participate!"
"Senior sister has great foresight..." Wang Xiu continued to flatter, then added some of his own settings, "Actually, this is not enough. Purely fighting all the time is boring... After killing a ferocious beast, we can give certain rewards..."
"Such as a certain title, or activating the Dao texts inscribed in the communication tokens to help them comprehend the Dao..."
He brought over the settings from the previous life's game. In fact, when he first created the Soul Dueling Machine, he had referred to the game template.
After listening to Wang Xiu's words, Mo Wuwei's eyes were full of excitement as she stared at Wang Xiu, her enthusiasm almost frightening.
...
The two of them talked at length.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.
Guided by Wang Xiu, Mo Wuwei was full of confidence and had an extremely optimistic view of the future of the Soul Dueling Machine.
Then, reluctantly bidding farewell to Wang Xiu, she went to find the head of Manipulation Lineage.
No surprises.
When Gongshu Wumao heard about the Soul Dueling Machine from Mo Wuwei, he became almost crazy.
With a wave of his hand, the entire Manipulation Lineage entered a state of excitement.
Their efficiency was extremely high.
In just three days, the first batch of production puppets on the assembly line was completed.
Wang Xiu went to the scene and saw a total of eight hundred machines and eight production lines neatly arranged in the huge square of Manipulation Lineage.
When they operated, hundreds of puppets would emit light at the same time, with runes filling the sky and a deafening roar, creating an extremely shocking scene.
...
Spirit Turtle Peak.
In the small courtyard, Wang Xiu leaned back on a recliner, stroking a dog with one hand and holding the Soul Dueling Machine that had just been delivered to him with the other.
Buzz!
The runes on the Soul Dueling Machine lit up, gradually fading from intense to dim, and eventually disappearing.
Wang Xiu opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied expression. "Not bad, it's even better than I imagined!"
On the other side, Mo Wuwei heard Wang Xiu's words and let out a long sigh, a smile appearing on his face.
All for the Soul Dueling Machine in Wang Xiu's hands.
The entire Manipulation Lineage worked tirelessly day and night, fighting hard for several consecutive days.
The understanding was not deep before, but after actually starting the production, she became even more aware of how difficult it was to create such a thing.
Even if it was divided into hundreds of parts.
They were all somewhat complicated and headache-inducing, even the elite disciples of the Manipulation Lineage were sometimes confused.
As a result, the Soul Dueling Machine they created was far inferior in performance to Wang Xiu's.
If Wang Xiu's Soul Dueling Machine could provide sufficient training even for the peak Almighty in the Astral Projection stage.
Then the one they created could only have an effect on Nascent Soul stage cultivators at most.
And the effect was average.
Of course, this "average" was in comparison, the efficiency was still astonishing, and it was not inferior to the effect of seeking strong enemies everywhere to train oneself.
To have such an effect, Wang Xiu was already very satisfied.
After all, the core part of the Soul Dueling Machine was the chip, and the inscriptions and rune mysteries engraved on it were the most crucial components of the virtual world.
In the hands of the Manipulation Lineage, they only had the inscriptions he imprinted, so the effect was definitely inferior.
"The first batch of Soul Dueling Machines can start selling now!" Wang Xiu said.
"So urgent?" Mo Wuwei was somewhat surprised.
"The sooner, the better!"
Wang Xiu never forgot that his original intention in creating the Soul Dueling Machine was to quickly improve the strength of everyone and the foundation of the Immortal Gate in order to face the upcoming great war.
A few years may seem long, but it passes in the blink of an eye.
There's no time to waste!
"I understand!"
...
Spirit Turtle Peak.
The entrance to the Ghost Immortal Secret Realm was now bustling, with various restaurants and even a market.
It had become one of the most prosperous places in the entire Three Purities Immortal Gate.
Even the former Mission Hall couldn't compare.
"Clang!"
The sound of a gong attracted the attention of countless disciples around.
"Come and see... take a look... the strongest micro puppet ever created by Senior Brother Saint Child himself - the Soul Dueling Machine, is officially on sale today!"
A disciple of the Manipulation Lineage stood on a high platform, holding the latest model of the Soul Dueling Machine and giving a detailed introduction.
"Soul Dueling Machine? What's that?"
"A puppet? What is the Manipulation Lineage up to again? The cheap ones are useless, and the useful ones are ridiculously expensive. Only fools would go and see!"
"But he said that Senior Brother Saint Child personally developed it..."
"Then we have to go and see!"
The crowd surged forward, causing a commotion.
Now, there were only a few days left until the ceremony of Senior Brother Saint Child's ascension.
The entire Three Purities Immortal Gate had been busy with these matters for the past few days.
Wang Xiu's name was already known to everyone.
His deeds had been spread by the disciples of various lineages and were well-known.
Some even spread rumors that Senior Brother Saint Child had once killed a Demon Race Saint with a single sword!
Although it was exaggerated.
But these young disciples believed it.
Countless geniuses were extremely curious about this "almost Senior Brother Saint Child" who rarely appeared, and they admired and respected him fervently.
Now, when they heard that this so-called Soul Dueling Machine was related to Wang Xiu, even those who were not interested in puppets couldn't help but stop and take a look.
"... Fellow brothers and sisters, are you still troubled by not finding suitable sparring partners? Are you still lamenting the slow progress of your Dao techniques and the difficulty of getting substantial training?"
"If so, then try this Soul Dueling Machine! It will bring you an immersive battle experience, make you feel the excitement of blood pumping, and let you enjoy yourself without worrying about training too hard and losing your life!"
On the high platform, the disciple of the Manipulation Lineage spoke passionately, his enthusiasm rising.
"What? It can train both Dao techniques and combat skills, and there's no danger at all?"
"Is it true or not?"
The crowd was astonished, listening with a dazed expression.
These things were too contrary to common sense, making it difficult for them to believe.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Manipulation Lineage had prepared a trial session.
Several young disciples stepped forward, each holding a Soul Dueling Machine in their hands, flipping it over and over, unable to see what was so magical about it.
Could such a thing really have such a powerful effect?
However, when they followed the guidance of the Manipulation Lineage disciples and infused a trace of soul power into it, the scene that appeared before their eyes instantly dispelled any doubts they had.
"What the f*ck!"
"I saw an ancient giant lizard, covering the sky, it was terrifying!"
"It's so real, it's like being there, there's even a whole little world inside!!!"
"..."
The few people exclaimed, their faces turning red and white, shocked to the core.
"I defeated it, I defeated it!"
"Damn it, I defeated one and there's still another one!"
"It's so exhilarating, it's been a long time since I've had such a thrilling battle. In this world, I can actually use all my means..."
"Oh my god, I defeated a sword-toothed beast, and it actually rewarded me with a chance to comprehend swordsmanship..." One disciple widened his eyes, surrounded by a strong Sword Intent, with sword light swirling around him.
Obviously, he had made a breakthrough in swordsmanship.
"..."
The cries of astonishment rose one after another, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Is it really so magical?
Not only can you fight in it, but you can also be rewarded with the opportunity to comprehend something as mysterious as this?
Little did they know that the inscriptions in the Soul Dueling Machine contained the true meaning of various Great Dao. Those with high talent could gain insights through visualization and comprehension.
And Wang Xiu, through the Soul Dueling Machine, gave those disciples with average aptitude the opportunity to do the same.
The so-called rewards are never generated out of thin air.
"How much does this treasure cost?" One disciple came out of the battle and stared at the Manipulation Lineage disciples, his eyes shining with desire but also with worry.
With just a little thought, it was clear that such a treasure must be very precious.
Most of the people present couldn't even come up with a small amount.
However, the next moment, something shocking happened.
"Five hundred spirit stones!" The Manipulation Lineage disciple smiled.
"What?"
The crowd was shocked. Such a treasure was actually only sold for five hundred spirit stones?
What's the difference between that and giving it away for free?
"Wang Xiu Senior Brother said that the original intention of creating this thing was to allow all Senior Brothers and Sisters to better comprehend the Dao and become stronger... We are all disciples of the Three Purities, we rise and fall together!" The Manipulation Lineage disciple said proudly, looking up.
In fact, when he first heard this news, his expression was no different from the others present.
"Senior Brother Saint Child... righteousness!"
"Buy, buy, give me one!"
"I want one too!"
"I'm first, line up behind me!"
The scene was quickly ignited, with those who had experienced the wonders of the Soul Dueling Machine becoming more and more crazy.
Everyone in the cultivation world of the South State knew that the disciples of the Three Purities were stingy.
Almost every one of them would gladly break a spirit stone into ten pieces.
But now, they had only one thought in their minds.
No matter what... they must own a Soul Dueling Machine!
Truly worthy of being something developed by Senior Brother Saint Child, it's truly remarkable!
...
Sword Lineage.
"I fight, fight, fight..."
Li Zuoyue held a Soul Dueling Machine, his eyes shining, muttering to himself, his fighting spirit surging.
"Hahaha, I won again, so satisfying!"
This Soul Dueling Machine was given to him by Wang Xiu.
Not only him, but also Xiang Tiange, Qin Guangling, and other senior brothers and sisters who had a good relationship with Wang Xiu, were all given one by him.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Dugu Qingqian appeared silently, looking at Li Zuoyue, her voice cold, "It's broad daylight and you're not practicing your sword, are you slacking off here again?"
