1172 In a Hurry
Taking advantage of the chaos on the third floor, Fang Heng had returned to the second floor and opened the door of the maintenance room with a wire.
A few rows of damaged alchemy machines were displayed in the maintenance room.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
Ed’s information was correct.
Most of the damaged alchemy machines here were due to long-term lack of maintenance, which led to some parts aging.
When the Alchemy Society found out that a machine had failed, they would throw it here to be repaired.
Then, they would come over to repair it every six months. This would be used as a daily assessment for the students and a guidance course for newcomers.
Fang Heng looked around and noticed that there were a few toolboxes at the side of the room. He ran over to check it.
Good stuff!
There were also some spare parts and equipment in the toolbox, including the energy magnetic field absorption and transformation device that was in urgent need.
He made a fortune!
Fang Heng waved his hand and put all the small parts in the toolbox into his backpack.
[Hint: You have obtained energy core converter*6, perfect precision spare parts*28, remote sensors*7, energy receiving devices*3…]
It wasn’t sufficient to just rely on these parts. The converter and receiver were the two most crucial components in the completion of the charging plan.
Fang Heng took out a wrench, walked to the side of the damaged alchemy machine, and began to dismantle it.
As time was of the essence, Fang Heng chose to only dismantle the components of these two devices.
[Hint: You have dismantled a damaged multi-functional alchemy machine VIII (mass-produced, support type). You have obtained a central energy converter*1, an energy receiving device *1…]
After dismantling two alchemy machinery components, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the door.
Someone was coming.
So quickly?
Fang Heng immediately put away the components in his bag and went to the door of the room in a flash.
It didn’t sound like the royal guards.
Maybe he had run into people from the Alchemy Society.
Buzzzzzz!
Fang Heng pulled out the bone spear from the Book of the Dead without any expression.
They could only blame their bad luck.
Fang Heng was already prepared. He was waiting for the person outside to open the door and kill him at the first moment. Then, he would continue to dismantle the alchemy machinery.
Who knew that the door handle was only held by someone, then a very soft voice came from outside the door.
“I’m Ed’s friend. I mean no harm. If you don’t mind, we’re coming in.”
Eh?
Fang Heng’s heart moved when he heard the person.
They were probably the players from the Alchemy Society that Ed had mentioned earlier.
Didn’t Ed say that they were unwilling to accept the commission?
Let’s see what they have to say.
After thinking for a while, Fang Heng put away the bone spear in his hand and went back to dismantle the alchemy machine.
“Come in and remember to close the door.”
“Thank you.”
After more than ten seconds, the door was opened from the outside.
Yu Ruilin and his brother stepped into the room and quickly closed the door behind them.
The room was pitch-black, with only a faint light coming in through the window. It was a little difficult for the two of them to adapt.
In the dark, Yu Ruilin and his brother heard a voice asking, “Are you here to help?”
Yu Ruilin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Heng. He immediately nodded and said, “Lord Fang Heng, I’ve long heard of your great name.”
Actually, from the beginning to the end, Ed had never told Yu Ruilin that Fang Heng was the mastermind behind the whole incident.
But it wasn’t difficult to guess this.
Yu Ruilin was even more convinced of this after seeing Fang Heng with his own eyes.
He could vaguely see Fang Heng, who was wearing a mask and holding a wrench, tinkering with something besides a damaged alchemy machine.
“Nice to meet you. Ed asked me to help out. We just happened to pass by, so we came to take a look.”
Seeing that Fang Heng was silent, Yu Ruilin took two steps forward and continued, “The Empire’s people just went up to the third floor. They’re now entangled with the people from the Alchemy Society. I think you’re the one who did what just happened, right?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng hummed softly and continued to dismantle the machinery with his head lowered.
He was a little anxious. There were not enough components in the toolbox. He had to continue thinking of ways to tear it down.
Time was already very tight, but these two people were still talking nonsense, wasting his time and distracting him.
Yu Ruichen nudged Yu Ruilin and whispered, “Brother, look at that.”
Looking carefully, Fang Heng was surrounded by some dismantled mechanical parts.
Did he actually know alchemy?
Yu Ruilin’s eyes flashed with surprise. Then, he revealed a playful expression and went straight to the point, “I believe that the people of the Empire will continue their search here very soon. To make a long story short, I want to cooperate with Lord Fang Heng.”
“Continue,” Fang Heng said.
“Lord Fang Heng should know about the enlightenment stone, right?” Yu Ruilin asked seriously.
What was the enlightenment stone? He had never heard of it!
To make a long story short, why was he still asking questions?
Most of Fang Heng’s attention was now focused on dismantling the alchemy machine in his hand and he didn’t have time to think too much. He replied casually, “I don’t know. What’s that?”
Ah?
Yu Ruilin was at a loss for words after hearing Fang Heng’s answer.
He originally thought that Ed and Lord Fang Heng worked closely together, so he would definitely know about the enlightenment stone.
After all, both the barbarians and the Empire were extremely eager to obtain the enlightenment stone.
He even felt that Fang Heng had joined the Alchemy Association to get the replica of the enlightenment stone.
Otherwise, why would Ed make such a big scene in the Alchemy Society?
In fact, Yu Ruilin had been trying to get his hands on the formula for the enlightenment stone.
Fang Heng’s display of ability had made Yu Ruilin sense an opportunity. That was why he came here and wanted to place his bets on Fang Heng. In any case, it was a gamble.
If you win, you’ll make a big profit, but if you lose, you’ll draw a clear line and come again next time.
He didn’t expect Fang Heng not to know anything about the enlightenment stone.
Something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, Yu Ruilin immediately came to a realization.
Fang Heng was testing him!
How could someone who was favored by Her Highness Mingyue and was able to mess with the royal guards and the Alchemy Society be an ordinary person?
How could he not know what the enlightenment stone was?
Yu Ruilin immediately had an answer in his heart. He answered his own question and explained, “The enlightenment stone’s name first came from the barbarians. It’s a black stone.”
“The most obvious feature of the enlightenment stone is that it can emit a strong penetrating spiritual power fluctuation. The barbarians can use the power of the enlightenment stone to quickly heal their injuries in a short time and quickly reproduce savage beasts. It is said that it is related to the state of demonization. For us humans, the enlightenment stone can stimulate our internal breath and health to break through to the second stage, and further strengthen it.”
After hearing that, Fang Heng’s expression finally changed. He also slightly paused his action of dismantling the alchemy machinery.
There was finally news of the black stone that they had been searching for!
Fang Heng made a judgment in his heart after taking everything Yu Ruilin said into consideration.
The black stone that was absorbed by the sacred tree Abe Akaya was actually the enlightenment stone!
Since he had found out the name, it would be easier for him to get more information about it.
