Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, Lu Xuan couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

This trip was definitely worthwhile.

Master Lu Ban actually did that... wait a minute...

The other party only said to follow me out of this world, but that's a completely different matter from becoming a Servant.

"The outside world..."

Lu Xuan made a troubled expression.

"Mr. Lu Xuan, is there some concern? Or is it inconvenient? If it is inconvenient..."

"No, no, no, it's not impossible to take you to my world, but we need to sign a contract. From then on, you will be my servant, and..."

Lu Xuan explained the details of the contract to Master Lu Ban.

Upon hearing these words, Master Lu Ban fell silent. He hadn't expected that following Lu Xuan would involve so many complicated matters. Moreover, becoming Lu Xuan's follower meant losing a significant portion of his freedom.

All Servants must protect their Masters; if the Master dies in battle, the Servant will also die.

But what Lu Xuan had said was not enough to make him give up everything he was doing.

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban has expressed concern about your explanation. Heroic Spirit Affinity -12]

The system prompt sounds.

Oops.

Lu Xuan immediately felt a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, this guy was too clever. Clever people don't like being restricted in their freedom; they prefer to be unrestrained and love freedom.

Otherwise, with Lu Ban's own wisdom and ability, he would probably have become the vice dean of a technical school long ago, instead of being a warehouse manager now.

“Our world possesses abilities completely different from this world, for example, this…”

Lu Xuan did not wait for the other party to give a negative answer, because once Master Lu Ban made a negative decision, it would probably be even more difficult to win back the other party's favor.

So before the other party could speak, Lu Xuan directly took out a silver skin card.

Skin Card: Master Lu Ban - Return to the Ruins Dream Performance!

Grade: Premium

Effect: Increases the quality and affinity of Servants after use.

Effect: Gain the talent [Dream Performance]

……

--------

Dream interpretation: Various studies can be directly deduced in a dream.

--------

The explanation is very simple, but it speaks volumes about the power of this skin card.

Although the Nightmare of the Ruins skin card is only a premium-level skin card, the talent ability it possesses is truly amazing.

Dream Performance!

Especially for a research-oriented talent like Lu Ban, this skin card is almost tailor-made for him.

really!

The moment Lu Xuan took out the skin card, Master Lu Ban's eyes were instantly drawn to the peculiar silver card.

The palm-sized silver card features a lifelike image of Lu Ban, but it is completely different from the dilapidated and somewhat worn-out state of the village today. The Lu Ban depicted on the card is dressed in a silver-white outfit, and his mechanical arm is brand new.

The moment Lu Ban saw the skin card that Lu Xuan had taken out, a voice deep within his heart called out to him.

This is the irresistible attraction that every hero in the King of Glory world has for skin cards.

Unless you're one of those natives who don't have any skin cards in Lu Xuan's system shop, you won't be attracted to these things. But unfortunately, Master Lu Ban is one of them.

A voice inside him was calling to him, urging him to get the skin card.

It's as if only after obtaining this skin card can one truly become complete.

Master Lu Ban stared in disbelief at the skin card before him. He couldn't believe that such a small object could contain such exquisite craftsmanship!

"This...this isn't a mechanical creation, so why is there a lifelike image of myself inside? And it's completely different from the phone you just had. This thing doesn't emit any magical energy fluctuations either. What is this?"

Master Lu Ban stared at the skin card in astonishment, his gaze seemingly welded to the spot, unable to move an inch.

"What it is doesn't matter. What matters is that it's a gift I'm giving you. It's not harmful at all. The moment you hold it, you'll understand what it is."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly and placed the skin card directly in front of Master Lu Ban.

Looking at the gift placed before him, Master Lu Ban was caught in an inner struggle.

His gaze darted back and forth between Lu Xuan and the skin card.

Several minutes passed before he finally made a decision. He slowly reached out and touched the silver skin card.

The moment the silver skin card was touched, the entire silver card shattered into countless silver rays of light, swirling around Master Lu Ban's body, and an ancient and complex magic circle appeared beneath Master Lu Ban's feet.

Master Lu Ban's original tattered clothes disappeared rapidly before the naked eye, replaced by a brand new outfit for the Return to the Ruins Dream Performance!

Moreover, the instant he merged with the skin card, Master Lu Ban clearly felt that some questions he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear. It was as if he had been enlightened, as if he had suddenly understood many things he couldn't understand before.

A potential increase of 100 points is equivalent to a sudden epiphany and a significant improvement in the biological nature of the natives of this world.

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Lu Ban has used your premium and skin cards. Due to your improved quality, the current quality is A.]

[Ding! The favorability rating of the Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban towards you has increased to 91.]

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban has mastered his exclusive special talent: Dream Performance]

……

The system notification sounded in Lu Xuan's mind very quickly.

At this moment, Master Lu Ban also clearly felt his own difference. He felt that his body was no longer as tired as before, and his mind had become exceptionally clear.

especially.

Talented Dream Performer!

His mind instinctively recalled the mechanical creation he had just been making, and then he was surprised to find that he was in a dream, rapidly deducing things in his mind.

In the normal world, it would be impossible to make such a detailed deduction. Even the most intelligent beings in the world could not imagine such a comprehensive picture.

Based on past experience and understanding of mechanisms, he could only roughly guess or predict the next step. But at this moment, he discovered that he actually possessed a similar laboratory in his dream, and was modifying and building these mechanical creations!

and.

As Master Lu Ban's own spirit and will changed, the dilapidated research institute in his dream began to transform, eventually becoming the most advanced research institute on Earth that he had always dreamed of.

This research institute possesses all the instruments that I can understand and use, everything I desire.

All mechanical constructs that are intended for construction can be simulated in this dreamlike research institute.

"This is incredible! What is this? Why did I suddenly gain this ability? This is the power that every mechanic dreams of!"

In the Dream of Returning to the Ruins, Master Lu Ban slowly opened his eyes, his face revealing unprecedented astonishment and shock.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Lu Xuan was filled with unprecedented shock and trust.

He was initially worried that the skin card might be some kind of magical trap filled with illusions or dark magic, but now it seems that, just as Lu Xuan said, this thing does him no harm at all.

Or rather, it not only has no downsides, but is full of unprecedented benefits.

Having this skin card gave him the superpower to perform calculations in his dreams.

Not only can it enable its research work to advance to an unprecedented pace, but it also eliminates concerns about the consumption of materials and the waste of time and personal energy.

However, in this dream, deduction requires the consumption of one's own mental energy. If one performs dream calculations for a long time, the consumption of mental energy will be extremely high, and timely rest and replenishment are necessary.

But for Lu Ban, who was short of resources, this was nothing short of a miracle, like rain after a long drought.

correct!

The last thing I've always wanted to research.

"Excuse me, I need to take care of something right now."

Master Lu Ban seemed to remember something, and before he could even greet Lu Xuan, he sank back into the dream.

His true form stood there, frozen in place.

"Uh……"

Lu Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated. These researchers were all pure madmen; without their unwavering determination to abandon everything and their deep immersion in science, they probably wouldn't be so fanatical.

But it is precisely these crazy guys who are able to drive the progress of this era and the world.

So Lu Xuan didn't say anything. If he successfully formed a contract with Master Lu Ban, this guy would probably become so engrossed in scientific research that he would forget everything else. Such talk would become commonplace.

Lu Xuan simply sat down next to him, took out his phone, and started playing games.

Time flows by, little by little.

A full day and night had passed since sunset and moonrise.

Master Lu Ban opened his eyes in the Dream of Returning to the Ruins. He looked somewhat tired, but his eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement and exhilaration.

Because within his dream, he had already conducted countless simulations, failed repeatedly, and performed numerous experiments. Finally, he arrived at an unprecedentedly perfect solution.

If this plan were implemented in reality, it would take an unknown amount of time, effort, and financial and material resources.

However, after acquiring the Nightmare of the Ruins skin card, he found the optimal solution simply through dream deduction.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was already snoring softly, having fallen asleep right next to him.

Master Lu Ban took out a blanket and covered Lu Xuan with it, then lay down on the workbench and excitedly got to work.

at last.

Several more hours passed, and it was impossible to know the outside time inside the warehouse.

In the Dream of Returning to the Ruins, Master Lu Ban finally stopped what he was doing.

But at the moment.

A strange white humanoid creature suddenly appeared in front of him.

It looks like mercury, which is quite amazing.

As Master Lu Ban continuously added special materials to the white mercury in the Dream of Returning to the Ruins, its body constantly changed shape.

finally.

An ordinary-looking puppet appeared on the workbench, about the height of an average person, but slightly thinner.

"It's done!! Mr. Lu Xuan! I've done it!!"

Finally, Master Lu Ban excitedly called out during the "Return to the Ruins Dream Performance".

Lu Xuan opened his sleepy eyes and woke up. He stretched, yawned, and looked curiously at the peculiar wooden puppet placed in front of the two of them.

Uh... it's very ordinary, I can't see anything special about it.

"Isn't this just an ordinary mechanical puppet?"

Lu Xuan was surprised.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lu Xuan, this is not an ordinary mechanical puppet. He used many precious materials. This is the best work I have ever created, second only to Lu Ban No. 7. Now I am giving it to you as a return gift for the skin card you gave me!"

"Please drip the blood from your finger, and it will then become yours."

Master Lu Ban exclaimed excitedly during the Dream Performance of Guixu.

[Heroic Spirit Affection Level 95]

After glancing at the favorability rating above Master Lu Ban's head, Lu Xuan confirmed that he could proceed. Seeing the target's favorability rating meant he didn't need to worry about the target plotting against him or doing anything else.

Of course, I am completely at ease.

A drop of blood fell on the ordinary wooden puppet, but soon something surprising happened to Lu Xuan.

It looked like an ordinary puppet, but after absorbing Lu Xuan's blood, it began to slowly wriggle.

and many more! ?

This thing actually came back to life?

wrong!

To be precise, the puppet was rapidly peeling away its outer wooden structure, slowly retracting inward, revealing a mercury-like surface, and then the entire puppet melted, transforming into a human-shaped mercury.

And as Lu Xuan's thoughts flashed by, the mercury in human form slowly transformed into an extremely familiar figure.

Sister Hongying!?

She was the same height as Sister Hongying, had the same appearance, and the same good skin. The only difference was that the Sister Hongying standing in front of her looked dazed.

"This is the best personal protective mechanism I have ever created. It can withstand the vast majority of damage, including not only martial arts but also demonic and other forms of mental harm."

"All damage to this guard can be automatically repaired, and it can transform into any form you want, including weapons."

"There are records about it in the ancient mechanical arts, called 'Silver Guardian'."

Master Lu Ban exclaimed excitedly during the "Return to the Ruins Dream Performance".
