I Can Bring In-game Items Out

Small Knife examined the Puppet Dao worth 100,000 contributions.

He marveled that it was worth every penny; learning it not only allowed for manufacturing mechanical puppets according to blueprints but also mastering the principles for independent research.

No wonder it's an Immortal Sect that holds the inheritance of Immortals.

However, the Five Elements Sword Sect's knowledge of Puppet Dao cultivation techniques was not comprehensive; they had blueprints for puppets from Purple Mansion to Golden Core, even to the Great Success Stage, but the road beyond was said to be increasingly narrow, lacking detailed principles.

Even if one could eventually refine a puppet at the Great Success Stage, peak among cultivator puppets, it could only be manufactured using blueprints, knowing what it is but not why it is so.

Thus, the sect offers substantial contributions for innovation and research, and even profit sharing.

As long as new blueprints or conceptual results in related fields are created for the sect, massive rewards will be bestowed.

This is also one of the few avenues for Cold Sect Disciples to excel beyond family disciples.

Now, Small Knife realized that, let alone inner sect disciples, even outer sect disciples stand out in the world where the Five Elements Sword Control Sect resides. Talent may not be the highest, but there must be sufficient backing and resources, including Spirit Stones.

Many disciples came from prominent families, and even if they lacked a Spirit Root, it was not a problem; they could obtain spiritual objects to develop Spirit Roots.

This is said to be a specialty from other Great Worlds.

After researching for so long, Small Knife occasionally relaxed and checked on matters related to the Little Knife Guild.

The development in the Little World went quite well, conquering or cooperating with some sect strongholds.

Islands have been occupied in large numbers, and the Celestial Net's range is expanding systematically.

A large number of players are planting and breeding within.

High-tech machinery is being employed.

After Small Knife's command, there was no more need for concealment.

Power stations and the like were blatantly established.

It naturally shocked the players – technology power?

Technology power presented in a game?

Even when discovered, they could only be astonished momentarily, before becoming accustomed to it.

With technological methods, the breeding and such in the Little World became regular and scaled.

Aside from bottlenecks, Experience consumption for leveling was no problem for players.

With relentless inputs like Demon Beast level eggs, the completely loyal NPCs under them even reached the Hundred Level.

Extra Experience was naturally collected by Small Knife No. 2.

Eh!

Small Knife, who was checking, was shocked.

Damn!

From researching mechanical puppets for so long, I've only mastered making puppets at the Qi Cultivation Level, especially Qi Cultivation Advanced puppets, with not a high success rate, and proficiency is limited.

It could only be considered mastery; as for research and development, that's still far off.

But now, the Little Knife Guild surprisingly has numerous research papers and more than a dozen blueprints, all self-created new mechanical puppet blueprints.

Checked it out, perhaps not utterly stunning, but being able to create new blueprints is already impressive, especially in such a short time.

Checked again, it's naturally because of the habitually high rewards given by Small Knife.

This attracted a research team composed of real-world experts and professors, these are the initial results.

Hehe!

Small Knife chuckled foolishly, it seems these experts indeed have true skills. Despite all his Foundation Establishment, memory, and analytical capabilities improved, they still outshine him.

So, directly increased the reward, specifically targeting rewards in the mechanical puppet beast area.

Then happily delved into the research results of those experts.

Thoroughly mastered them, then checked out the new blueprints and whatnot.

There wasn't much uniqueness, only because of the technological foundation, the thought process differed.

After all, research time was still short.

Even so, Small Knife spent more than ten days thoroughly understanding these blueprints and ideas.

Small Knife opened his eyes, pondered for a while, concluded it wasn't a big problem, and decided to pass them off as his own creations.

Only then did he take the blueprints intending to exchange them for some sect contributions.

Isn't the Five Elements Sword Control Sect a strong supporter of innovation and research, with high rewards for success? So reaping some benefits isn't wrong.

Just as he walked out of the Spirit Vein Core's Spirit Gathering Array.

"Junior Brother Han." Upon seeing an acquaintance, Small Knife was visibly surprised.

"Senior Brother Zhao!" After a brief moment of thought, Small Knife recognized this was one of the senior brothers chatting outside the Trial Tower, from whom he had learned quite a lot of information.

Why is he here?

Small Knife wondered, yet didn't lose decorum. After saluting, he glanced around, wondering about his two Daoist Soldiers.

Weren't they supposed to recruit some people and develop and manage this Spirit Vein?

How could outsiders enter his domain without notifying him? A bit negligent, he'd given them a tenth of the income, enough for them to advance in Martial Dao.

Small Knife never stinted on his people.

Though these two were ascetics, inexperienced in management, but they could hire people!

He scanned the surroundings, other than this senior brother, there were some others, clearly dressed as Foundation Establishment Daoist Soldiers, not like they were there to do hard labor.

So his expression gradually turned stern: "My Daoist Soldiers."

"Haha, they're fine, small Daoist Soldiers, actually not respectful enough to officially disciples like us, so I carried out a little punishment for Junior Brother." Senior Brother Zhao laughed and waved.

A couple of Daoist Soldiers behind him brought out two people.

These two old men were listless, obviously heavily injured, faces filled with anger.

Upon seeing Small Knife, faces filled with shame, they clasped their fists and said, "Master, we are useless, allowed wolves into the house."

"Small Daoist Soldiers, don't know how to communicate properly, the Daoist Soldiers we hired were recommended by you." Senior Brother Zhao said mockingly.

"Please leave, you're not welcome here." Small Knife's face looked grim.

The Eye of Investigation's prompt indicated that apart from Zhao's junior brother, the other Daoist Soldiers were all at Foundation Establishment, but the two nearest behind him were probably beyond Foundation Establishment level.

He had to endure for now.

"Leave? That's impossible, my Daoist Soldiers were hired by authorization from you, and I was invited by them." Senior Brother Zhao said mockingly.

Small Knife was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words, and more importantly, realized whatever he said wouldn't help.

So he pulled out the Jade Token to check sect rules, reading confidently, for he only skimmed through earlier.

This senior brother didn't stop talking, no longer as friendly as their first meeting.

But Small Knife paid no attention, not believing the other dared to act against sect disciples lightly.

Even later, he blocked his own hearing out of irritation.

At this moment, casually acting would surely play into his hands.

Coming from a world of technology, even with limited experience, he could see this much.

After spending considerable time, reading the sect's main rules confidently once more, he looked at his two Daoist Soldiers.

They had been given authorization by him.

The two looked ashamed yet explained.

They were not adept managers, and when they hired a team of Spirit Plant Masters, they were misled by their flowery language endorsements, naively authorized them, allowing them to hire suitable personnel and manage this Spirit Vein area.

As a result, they directly summoned this group, openly as outer sect disciples' Daoist Soldiers.

This led to their lawful entry into the Spirit Vein area, the two Daoist Soldiers tried to stop them but were easily subdued.

No courtesy was observed, their severe injuries were visible.

This made Small Knife's expression turn extremely grim, too much bullying.

Clearly, they investigated and found he lacked a backing, but now he also understood sect rules.

The sect has sufficient power to prevent internal conflicts, but deliberately doesn't do so, clearly to maintain disciples' combat readiness.

But the restrictions are clear too, as a Foundation Establishment outer sect disciple, only Foundation Establishment power could participate.

If bullying the weak, sect rules are not to be trifled with.

Even competition at the same power level was because of his authorization below that daring them to act.

At this point, Senior Brother Zhao, feeling parched, was somewhat helpless.

He had already investigated clearly, this person who came to the Little World had no backing, considered themselves highly above even joining other powers, by a month's time, if he hadn't acted, others would.
