Chapter 79 Efficiency of Learning the Copy Eye
The value of Cai Yutong's magical engraving tools was more than a hundred times more expensive than Li Wei's set! This was not an exaggerated joke.
Li Wei's energy converter could only convert White Crystals; Blue Crystals were unconvertible. Moreover, converting several pieces of White Crystals would cause overheating, affecting efficiency. And the energy lines would age and burn out with frequent use.
But looking at the premium equipment others had, one could imagine the significant gap in efficiency and quality in making engraving bullets.
Cai Yutong chuckled and said, "Jealous, aren't you?"
She had finally found something to beat Li Wei at.
Li Wei nodded honestly and said, "Jealous, but let's start soon."
"Okay." Cai Yutong put away her thoughts and said, "I'll explain while I work and demonstrate for you. This is my first time teaching someone to make engraving bullets. If there's anything I explain poorly, please don't blame me."
"No problem." Li Wei nodded lightly.
In fact, he already had an idea in mind. He probably didn't need Cai Yutong to explain too much. He just needed to observe carefully on the side.
With his Copy Eye, which had been upgraded twice, his insight had been greatly enhanced. He could now achieve a synchronous observation and learning effect similar to that in the original work.
Although engraving bullet techniques were closely related to the Will Chain, requiring the control of external energy flow with one's mind, the essence of making engraving bullets lay in the special "magical engravings" themselves.
Learning how to engrave magical engravings basically meant learning a way to make an engraving bullet. Of course, advanced bullets required stronger willpower, which was a hard requirement. But at least, learning the magical engravings solved the technical problems.
Cai Yutong might not be an experienced teacher, but her innate seriousness as a woman showed. She tried to slow down her production speed as much as possible, explaining as she worked.
Li Wei stood behind her, his Sharingan eyes carefully observing every movement of the girl's arms, wrists, and fingers, the direction of the engraving knife, and the intensity of the energy output.
At the same time, the girl's gentle voice flowed into his ears like silk. Detailed explanations deepened Li Wei's understanding.
Soon, more than ten minutes passed, and a finished Impact Bullet appeared in Cai Yutong's hand.
In fact, although the difficulty of making the Impact Bullet was much higher than that of the Sub-piercing Bullet, with Cai Yutong's level, she wouldn't take more than ten minutes to make one. The reason why she made it so slowly was mainly to explain and lower the production speed so that Li Wei could see more clearly.
Cai Yutong was a very skilled magical engraver. Her talent in this area was stronger than her talent in combat. For an Evolver who fought using the Will Chain and firearms, the strength of magical engraving skills was directly linked to actual combat power.
This was also why she was called the star of tomorrow. While she might not be much sharper in battles, commissions, and tasks than the average hunter, as an exceptionally talented magical engraver, her actual combat power and future growth were highly anticipated.
Taking the bullet, Cai Yutong turned around and saw Li Wei's eyes, red with Sharingan.
"What's this..."
"These eyes can enhance my observational ability. I think they should come in handy. Don't mind me, continue with your explanation."
"Alright." Cai Yutong said, "Did you gain anything just now?"
Li Wei hesitated. He didn't know how to say it.
The "copy" ability of the Sharingan was very effective in this regard. Even in intense battles, these eyes had the ability to learn the skills used by the enemy on the spot. Moreover, just by opening his eyes and watching Cai Yutong's slow-motion production, and with such detailed explanations, he had already memorized everything. He was absolutely sure he could replicate it completely.
Shouldn't... that be considered learning?
Of course, learning didn't mean proficiency.
Making engraving bullets also involved how to control the external energy flow with willpower. The difficulty of making an Impact Bullet and the demand for willpower were obviously higher than that of a Sub-piercing Bullet.
But anyway, Li Wei dared to say that he had mastered this technique. The rest was just more practice.
Of course, Li Wei didn't intend to tell Cai Yutong about these things.
He said, "I gained a little. Could you do it again and explain it?"
On one hand, he wanted to cover up a bit, and on the other hand, reviewing and listening again would be more secure.
"No problem." Cai Yutong nodded, not finding anything strange. Learning a new design blueprint was already a very difficult thing.
Then, Cai Yutong demonstrated the production process for Li Wei again, explaining as she worked.
Li Wei closed his Sharingan.
Although the consumption of opening his eyes had decreased after the upgrade and his endurance had become stronger after completing the extreme forging, maintaining the open-eye state for more than twenty minutes and still observing and copying diligently was still a huge consumption for him.
In fact, Li Wei had felt very strenuous the first time. This second observation, he hadn't even maintained full focus throughout, opening and closing his eyes intermittently. Even when he opened his Sharingan, he didn't copy the whole process, just looked at some key points to deepen his impression and compare with the first production process.
Rubbing his brow after recovering some energy, Li Wei said, "Thank you very much. Let's stop here today. You've wasted too much of your time already. Let me treat you to a meal tomorrow."
"No need to be polite. Come to me if you have any questions." Cai Yutong said naturally, "Learning a new design blueprint is already a very difficult thing. Even if you fail many times at the beginning, it doesn't matter. It took me about ten days to learn the Impact Bullet back then."
Cai Yutong only knew that Li Wei had learned the Sub-piercing Bullet in just two days, but she didn't know that after learning energy control, he had completed the engraving of the magical engravings at one go.
But learning a design blueprint in just two days, even if it was the lowest-level one, was already a very impressive talent.
The difficulty of the Impact Bullet was much higher than that of the Sub-piercing Bullet. Cai Yutong still felt it necessary to give him a heads-up before Li Wei formally started trying to make bullets, to prevent him from feeling frustrated...
"Well, thanks for the encouragement." Li Wei thanked her and left Cai Yutong's room.
