The story of 77 had lasted for more than 10 minutes .
His story wasn't so complicated .
'So… the blueprint of the mine management robot can be obtained . '
77—the robot—that was designed by Charlies was a 'mining robot' .
77 himself said that apart from himself, there were other management robots all throughout the spirit dimension .
Charlies had built robots on every mine in the Spirit mountain to look after the machine workshops .
So the blueprint was bound to exist, and that was the request of 77 .
There was also another thing .
He also stated that if Ian helped him, he could use the item and then work .
“As long as you are in possession of the blueprints, you'll be able to erase the system code that has been embedded in my body . If you can get rid of that… I will be free . ”
“You mean I need to disa.s.semble your body and then rea.s.semble it?”
“It's similar to that . ”
“Then, who will do that work?”
“I can do it myself . I'm different from humans . I don't feel any pain . ”
Ian looked at him, not sure what he was supposed to say .
He sure was a difficult guy to understand .
'Well, I will just break through the quest . '
Ian just shook his head and said, “The blueprints, where can I get them?”
“I'm not 100 percent sure, but they are probably in the Horlus underground base . ”
“Horlus… underground base?”
Hearing it for the first time, Ian felt excited .
If he went to the underground where the blueprint was, it seemed like they were a lot of hidden secrets related to the mechanical civilization .
77 continued, “The Horlus underground is in the middle of the Spirit mountains . ”
“The center of the Spirit mountain… isn't that a bit too much of an explanation?”
At the question of Ian, 77 shook his head .
“That is true, but even if I explain it in detail, it won't work . ”
“Why?”
“With your abilities, you won't be able to climb to the middle of that mountain yet . ”
“In the middle of the Spirit Mountains… there are powerful robots which can make Caliclops seem like nothing . ”
“And?”
“The monsters there are as strong as five Caliclops . ”
Ian briefly thought about the powerful robots he was being told about and came to a conclusion .
Considering the description that 77 was talking about, the monsters there probably had a transcendence level of 30 to 40 .
'So it is a quest that can't be cleared until I get that 'Valor's qualification' . '
Ian couldn't cross the transcendence level of 10 until he got that 'Valor's Qualification' .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntEven if he hunted non-stop with Agbi to evolve it to a higher spirit, with his current transcendence level, it would be difficult .
In the end, the combat ability of Agbi was proportional to its spirit spell level and spirit skills .
'Unfortunately, I have no choice but to do this quest some other time . '
Ian cleared his mind after a while and realized that there wasn't any other linked quest he could do at the moment .
He entered the spirit dimension, but the quests were blocked .
Ian looked at 77 .
He surely wouldn't be able to proceed with the quest, but there were still a lot of things he wanted to ask 77 .
“77 . ”
“Huh?”
“I'll surely become strong enough to attack the Horlus underground base, okay?”
“That… is that even possible?”
“It won't be easy, but for you, I will try . ”
The expression of 77 became brighter because of what Ian said .
77 was impressed .
System messages appeared .
Tring-!
[Affinity with the management robot 'P-77' increased by 3 . ]
[The conditions to use the 'Machine Workshop' was met . ]
Ian, who decided to take advantage of 77's feelings, made a proposal to 77 .
“So then, 77 . ”
“Huh?”
“The machine workshop, let's get that thing working . ”
“You have to build a powerful machine summon, or I won't be able to attack that Horlus underground as soon as I can . ”
77 promised that he would help to the extent where Ian would be able to use the machines .
However, he didn't say what exactly he would do with the machine workshop .
However, Ian knew that this 77 machine had been producing the machines, but of course, it was just a hunch .
With a very nervous expression, 77 looked at Ian .
“I obviously want to get out of here, Ian . ”
“However, I can't do that right away . ”
“Why?”
“Because of the blueprints I needed for the machine robots . If it was Charlies, he could have done it even without the design, but I am not that capable . ”
“Hmm…”
Ian wasn't expecting what 77 just said, so he was shocked .
'Uh, hold on . Then…'
Ian soon felt that he was being filled with happiness .
In his mind, an 'item' that was in his inventory appeared .
Ian opened his mouth .
“I have it!”
“What? What?”
“A blueprint . ”
“I am not sure as to what kind of blueprint it is, but I have a blueprint in possession!”
77 couldn't believe what Ian just said . Ian just opened his inventory .
He took an item called 'Lesser Machine Summon Blueprint' which was in the corner of his inventory . He then handed it to 77 .
77 confirmed the blueprint and was surprised .
“This… is this? This really is a design!”
Ian became excited at the unexpected chance he got . He nodded and said, “Indeed! I knew you would understand that . ”
Ian gulped then spoke with a lot of pride .
“Kay then, 77 . This design… what kind of robot can you make with this?”
Receiving the blueprint, 77 began to look at it very closely with a serious expression .
After a while, system messages appeared in front of Ian .
Tring-!
[The blueprint has been decrypted . ]
[The item 'Lesser Machine Summon Blueprint' will be unsealed . ]
[You have earned the item 'Robot Heart Blueprint'!]
“Hmm?”
Ian was a bit puzzled when he saw the message .
Although it was labelled as a 'lesser' cla.s.s, the name of the robot in the message seemed to be weaker than a 'lesser' cla.s.s .
However, unlike Ian who was disappointed, the eyes of 77 were sparkling .
“Wow, Ian! How did you even get this?”
“Huh?”
“It is a low-end robot, but the blueprints of the production aren't so easy…!”
“Production robots? Is that good?”
Before Ian responded to 77, he started to think .
'A production robot? So that's what this heart robot is called…? Can he mine?'
As his thoughts began to filter, Ian's face began to turn bright .
If he could make a mining robot, then Ian might be able to continue to receive attribute essence .
He surely might not be able to re-enter the event map—which he could have entered—because of the quest of 77, but there were mines all over the place .
Ian could have one mine in the mountains and then put that robot there to mine for infinite essence farming .
Ian's expectations were getting high .
“Of course! There are so many things that this guy can do! This guy could do basic ch.o.r.es and mine without constantly ordering him to do so . ”
At the description that 77 gave, Ian became excited .
With the blueprint, he thought that he could produce a number of workers and have them as mine slaves .
In the mind of Ian, the mine in the Devildom which he owned had entered his thoughts after a long time .
It was because he was paying huge salaries for the miners who were running the mine .
If he could make a lot of workers with the blueprint, then the productivity of the mine in the Devildom would increase too .
“Oh ho! Shall we make a robot with this blueprint?”
However, the content of Kailan wasn't going to allow that, and Ian's expectations got shattered to million pieces .
“Sorry, it is impossible . ”
“Huh? What is that supposed to mean?”
“This is a disposable design . ”
Ian didn't understand what 77 was saying .
“Can blueprints be disposable?”
“On the surface, it looks like a simple iron plate with a design on it, but it has a system chip inside . ”
“System… chip inside?”
“It is the kind of chip that contains an algorithm for moving the robot . ”
“Ah!”
“Perhaps, once the robot is completed according to the scheme and design, the chip is supposed to be inserted . That might make the robot operational . ”
“Is that so?”
Ian looked rather sullen, but it wasn't so bad .
Thanks to 77, it was easy to unseal the blueprint, and the existence of the production robot seemed like a great help .
“Nice, 77 . From now on, let's quickly make this robot guy . I want to finish it and then use it as soon as possible . ”
Looking back at Ian, 77 nodded his head .
“Okay, Ian . The blueprint isn't so complicated, and I'll be able to build it in about a day . ”
“Okay!”
“Would you like to get some materials while I a.n.a.lyze the blueprint?”
“Materials?”
“If you look into this pattern, you will know what kind of materials you will need . ”
Ian, who was given the blueprint, tried to look at it again .
In front of Ian came a system window which he had never seen before .

“Hu…”
Ian could feel the back of his head hurt .
'This is so much harder than just buying a machine from the shop . '
Ian didn't know that he needed to gather the materials for the blueprint that he had .
However, fortunately, Ian had all the materials that were needed for making it .
He got the iron ores in Devildom's mines, and he got the essence attributes from his non-stop mining a few moments back .
“The materials, can you get them, Ian?”
“Yes, I'll get them as soon as possible . ”
“Will you be able to get them today?”
Ian nodded his head in agreement .
All he had to do was to go non-stop since he already did quite a lot of mining today .
Even with a 25 percent chance to fail, he decided not to think about failure .
“Sure…!”
Ian's words were interrupted .
After a very long time, a call from his 'wifey' came .
