After figuring this out, Li Cheng decisively attached souls to the [Steel and Victory Flag Spear], as well as the [Skull Shattering Power Hammer] and [Ape-man Degeneration Gun].

The complexity of these weapons wasn't enough to generate self-awareness, but they all exhibited a certain degree of subjective initiative.

They can choose to release special effects on their own timing, even slightly reducing the consumption of special effects.

As for the Liangyi Blade and the Floating Engine, there currently isn't enough spiritual power and sanity value.

"Show me the concepts accumulated in the collection room," Li Cheng ordered.

"Alright."

The smart core released a 3D projection. The [Star-casting Anvil] was doing brisk business, with orders pouring in continuously. While the Toy Factory ran non-stop 24 hours, it also ruthlessly exploited customers,

intercepting concepts from the relics they sent.

"A-level Control Theory, extracted from the Former Soviet Union's OGAS network engineering machines."

The smart core explained, "B-level Spiritual Control and B-level Brainwashing, extracted from the American CIA's top-secret MK-Ultra Plan files.

A-level Loyalty..."

"Wait," Li Cheng was triggered by PTSD and hurriedly asked, "This loyalty isn't related to Germany, is it?"

The smart core explained, "No, this concept came from the ashes of a loyal dog brought out from the script world of 'The Story of Hachiko' by a customer, from which we intercepted the A-level Loyalty concept, only giving the customer the C-level Akita Dog concept."

That's fine then.

Only then did Li Cheng feel relieved, selecting some concepts from the collection room and instructed the smart core to start crafting spiritual control type items.

The floating engine of epic quality used 1S, 5A, 3B, and 1C.

This time, investing 2A, 2B, 3C should guarantee the creation of a perfect item.

As for now...

Li Cheng's expression turned solemn as he directed cylinder robots to bring lead plates, temporarily constructing a signal shielding room.

In the signal shielding room, he brought out a large number of fresh ruined corpses.

This red beetle, as the twenty-first generation of the horde, had its main brain electrocuted to medium-rare by Li Cheng's Blue Dragon Breath. Fortunately, it had a distributed nervous system, with each limb equivalent to a brain auxiliary component.

Li Cheng activated the assembly puppet, replacing the ruined lower limbs of the horde's corpse with tank treads, substituting severed limbs with avenger cannons, implanting electronic prosthetic eyes in empty eye sockets, and replacing broken nerve bundles with a complex network of fiber optic cables...

After several hours of immense work, mechanical prosthetics replaced over 40% of the horde's corpse.

The colossal object was hoisted under a gantry crane by steel cables,

with hydraulic hoses piercing everywhere on its body, fluorescent liquid flowing continuously through them.

Hideous wounds covered with steel armor, with turbid blood and oil oozing out in spots.

The electronic prosthetic eyes whirred continuously, as if scanning unconsciously.

"Tsk."

Li Cheng clicked his tongue. Perhaps due to being kindred spirits infected by a Divine Calamity, this horde gave him more pressure than the Gray Green Giant A.

"Respected factory owner, the item you requested has been completed."

The smart core flew over again, and the cylinder robot handed over an item resembling an electronic tube as thick as a human hand, like a long nail.

Very good, perfectly meeting the requirements.

Li Cheng grinned, picking up the electronic tube with his left hand and pressing his right hand on the surface of the horde's corpse.

Then, soul implantation.

Buzz!!!

The electronic prosthetic eyes in the horde's eye sockets suddenly shone with a scarlet light.

The high-power diesel engine in the heart area revved up fully, pumping blood mixed with oil stains.

"It's! You!"

A shrill roar erupted from a loudspeaker that sounded like a broken gong as the giant scythe on its upper limb slashed toward Li Cheng without hesitation.

Indeed, due to the unique distribution of the horde's brain structure, its corpse regained self-will the moment its soul was restored.

Unfortunately, Li Cheng was prepared, precisely shaking off the scythe with his right hand's Steel Banner Spear, then deftly jumping onto the horde's head, "It is me, now you can sleep."

After saying this, he released the assembly puppet effect again, separating the neural network and stripping the horde's control over its body,

then stabbed the electronic tube fiercely into the unarmored soft rear neck of the horde.

[Item Name: Soul-Seizing Nail]

[Type: Wearable (Consumable)]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Special Effect: Eternal Enslavement. Can only be used on individual targets with no ability to resist. By inserting the Heart-Seizing Nail, it permanently strips away the self-personality, forming an absolutely loyal, unbetrayable thought seal.]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling Time: None]

[Use Conditions: The level gap between both sides must not exceed 10]

[Note: Loyalty that's not absolute is absolutely disloyal]

After insertion into the brain, the electronic tube flowed like liquid throughout the horde's corpse.
