Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1553 - 535: Mechanical Tyrannosaurus
Previously on Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys...
"Then, we should seize the moment right away. I picked up the bulk of it back at the Molten Lava Lake before, so the rest won't demand much effort."
Rein promptly resolved to wrap up his study of the sophisticated Goblin Engineering insights drawn from the second memory crystal.
Once the class advancement concluded, he departed toward the Imperial City.
Half a day passed.
[Ding! Host has grasped advanced Goblin Engineering knowledge, activating the next class evolution—Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic)!]
[Requirements to progress to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic): 1. Goblin Engineer (Legendary) at level 5 or higher; 2. Strength exceeding 20 points, Constitution exceeding 20 points, Agility exceeding 20 points, Spirit exceeding 40 points; 3. Grasp advanced Goblin Engineering knowledge; 4. Craft any five valid advanced Goblin Engineering creations independently... All requirements met! Proceed to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic)? Yes/No?]
[Note: Advancing to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) will merge the prior Goblin Engineer (Legendary) profession interface into the Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) profession interface.]
Rein selected "Yes" without a second thought!
[Initiating class advancement...]
[Ding! Class advancement to Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic) complete! Strength +3, Agility +3, Constitution +5, Spirit +10!]
[Gained Core Skill for Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic): Quick Repair (Active)]
The system interface displayed.
The old Goblin Engineer (Legendary) profession interface disappeared, supplanted by the striking purple interface of Goblin Engineering Expert (Epic).
Its deep violet shade, when set against Rein's initial Epic profession—the King of Thousand Blades—revealed scant variance. This indicated that Goblin Engineering Expert had attained a pinnacle in mechanical crafting much like the King of Thousand Blades in close-quarters fighting.
Joy surged through Rein's chest.
In truth, professions of equal rank vary in combat strength, and he obviously favored a sturdier profession interface.
As he examined the fresh Core Skill, Rein muttered under his breath:
"Quick Repair?"
Swiftly, he focused on the details of this new Core Skill, which stated:
[Core Skill: Quick Repair (Active)]
[Quick Repair (Active) effect: During fierce battles, mechanical constructs might abruptly face malfunctions or harm. Activating the skill lets the Goblin Engineering Expert swiftly identify the problem and execute rapid fixes.]
(Note: Quick Repair's spiritual power usage ties to the damage's extent or malfunction's gravity, plus the device's intricacy. Additionally, higher spiritual power spent yields quicker repair times.)
"Back when I was a Goblin Engineer, the Core Skill was Emergency Modification; now, as Goblin Engineering Expert, it's Quick Repair—each shines brilliantly in actual fights."
"It truly stands apart from the earlier tailoring and leatherworking; it's no surprise Goblin Engineering Expert's profession interface hit Epic rank, whereas those two lingered at Transcendent," Rein pondered inwardly.
A few minutes went by.
Right when Rein planned to depart, his gaze fell on the well-known ’Destroyer’ Demon Statue stationed in the heart of the Mechanical Assembly Hall.
Sect Leader Moria had transported it there following his instructions, ensuring that post-departure from Shirendil Plateau, Nirheim retained an Epic-tier combat force.
Although the Crystalization Peak Wizard couldn't fully tap into Destroyer's fighting prowess, it proved ample for protective duties.
"Now that I've become a Goblin Engineering Expert, I can finally build Super Giant Magic Statues matching the Destroyer's caliber..."
Effortlessly, visions of various advanced Goblin engineering blueprints raced through Rein's thoughts.
"Large Magic Statue tier... Mechanical Whiptail Dragon..."
"Super Giant Metal Magic Statue tier... Mechanical Demon Dragon..."
"This will do!"
In moments, Rein's attention locked onto a massive Goblin Engineering mechanical creation rivaling the Destroyer in stature—the Mechanical Demon Dragon.
The Mechanical Demon Dragon stands as an upgraded iteration of the swift dragon model.
Apart from its razor-sharp sickle claws, it possesses a jointed alloy tail that can unleash ’Death Sweep,’ serving as a potent area-control armament.
Moreover, its skull houses dual eye cavities equipped with intense ray projectors, allowing ’Energy Beam’ attacks to remedy the lack of distant striking options.
Such an array of features renders the Mechanical Demon Dragon nearly flawless.
During the Ancient Goblin Empire era, these imposing three-to-four-meter Mechanical Demon Dragons formed the elite core of any mechanical legion's forces.
However, their intricate production, sky-high expenses, and the need for operators at Dawn Wizard level to maximize this war machine's devastation—while even simplified versions demand at least Crystalization Peak Wizard—meant mechanical legions kept only sparse quantities.
Naturally, Rein avoids crafting superior metal magic statues because the two memory crystals outlining advanced Goblin Engineering omit production techniques for essential parts in superior magic statues.
For example, one blueprint depicts a ’Legion Commander Level’ construct—dubbed ’Titan Level’ among human wizards—the ’King of Tyrannosaurs’ mechanical entity surpassing Super Giant Magic Statues.
Yet, without the fabrication process for its vital core, the ’Crystal Energy Matrix,’ assembly remains impossible for now.
