Blood of the Melting Furnace, Unquenchable Firewood, Heavenly Gifted Spirit.

What Transformation points to during the Transformation Stage are only these three blessings, they progressively interconnect, and none can be missing.

Since the Blood of the Melting Furnace has been completed, Ji Jue should think about going further and preparing early.

Although the three rely on the experience and creation of Embers, the detailed aspects, inclinations, and even requirements are different.

The key to the Blood of the Melting Furnace lies in the mastery of skills and the persistence in creation, both of which are indispensable to enter the room. Unquenchable Firewood requires the number, scale of works, and even the impact they create. Heavenly Gifted Spirit is the most critical quality and achievement.

With the Coastal Automobile Factory in hand, Ji Jue can use this channel to increase his works' quantity and, in doing so, create broader changes and impacts with his work.

Moreover, a craftsman always has holes in his pocket.

Money, materials, blessings, technology, and spirit, are never enough.

Interning at the factory carries risks, but the benefits are equally enticing.

Such a big project may be just a crumb falling from the fingers of those giants, but for Ji Jue, even licking it could make him rich.

"I've known Ye Xian for so many years. Although there's mostly bad fate between us, it's not to the point of being like sisters or intimate friends, but at least we can advance and retreat together. You don't need to be so nervous and serious."

Lv Yingyue smiled openly, "Relax, if there are any conditions, feel free to say."

Ji Jue certainly wouldn't be polite.

He came for this.

"In terms of money?"

Such a large factory handed to him, has been shut for so many years, eaten by insects, gnawed by rats, and certainly more than a little fire damage; probably only the shell is left, and there might even be mold in the factory.

Embers is creation, not something out of nothing; even if it's the Heavenly Furnace, without money, production is probably impossible.

"There's a special fund that's been prepared long ago."

Lv Yingyue said without hesitation: "Someone will specifically contact you later. Just tell them what you need. Although there is a maximum on the budget, it's more than enough to restore production and fund you a luxurious lifestyle for decades."

To do things, money must be spent. Money isn't everything, but the more money there is, the easier things become.

She wasn't so stingy as to save on such matters.

Moreover, it's not her money.

Ji Jue's heart relaxed halfway, and then he continued: "What about City Hall?"

The restart of the Coast involves all aspects and can't get around the administrative institutions. Not to mention production, tax, commerce, environment, and construction; which link can't choke someone? An outsider running just the processes might take a lifetime and still not finish.

On this matter, Lv Yingyue was not worried, just said: "The Governor is an enlightened person. He will strongly support you on these related matters."

How about letting Xu Chaoxian go to hell first?

Ji Jue instinctively wanted to make a small suggestion, but considering Xu Chaoxian is currently somewhat allied, he had to temporarily hold back.

Forget it, it's not urgent. It can wait until things are done.

"What about resources?" Ji Jue continued to ask.

Building cars isn't something that can be done behind closed doors. Materials and equipment in all aspects require suppliers. It can't possibly all rely on Transformation to do by hand, right?

How long would that take?

Lv Yingyue smiled more mysteriously, with some meaning: "What Cliff City has, is naturally not a problem. What it doesn't have, you can negotiate; there are people willing to pay the bill. As for processes and details, I think no one will care."

After speaking to such an extent, young man, you surely don't have no idea in your heart, right?

Ji Jue's heart, finally settled down.

Just, besides this…

"Due to some personal research, I need quite a lot of spiritual fuel."

Ji Jue said, "Preferably Leviathan-class, the more, the better."

It's easy to buy Fuel Element when stepping out the door, but anything that involves the high-end is sure to be outrageously expensive with endless thresholds.

Especially fuel capable of fitting the Doomsday Special Train, at the very least, it must be spiritual fuel equipped for Leviathan-class space battleships.

When undertaking something with endless risk, you first have to think of a retreat.

With someone willing to foot the bill, how could Ji Jue not seize the opportunity to solve the biggest, most troublesome, and highest threshold issues?

Once the Doomsday Special Train starts, without the Fixed Space Anchor from the Star Core Association, who can keep him?

Ji Jue's demand wasn't high.

As long as the car isn't run often, it's enough to solve his needs for ten or twenty years.

This seemed to be unexpected for Lv Yingyue.

After pondering for a moment, she got up to make a call, and soon she returned.

"It's been solved, it'll be delivered to your home tonight, but it probably can't be too much. After all, the Hai Zhou Military District's monthly quota and consumption are always watched by the Energy Bureau, and for now, it's only possible to give you six tons."

"Six tons will do."

Ji Jue restrained the impulse to curl his lips into a smile.

Six tons? At a critical time, six tons of fuel is enough to let him escape from the Federation to Central Earth, and even the Heavenly People might not catch up!

"I know what you want to say, let me tell you straightforwardly."

Lv Yingyue smiled faintly: "The material library from the three departments is completely open to you. Whatever you fancy, take it as you please. However, the blessings aren't abundant. Just don't empty it out."

Ji Jue nodded: "Then, I have no more problems."

"No more problems?"

Lv Yingyue's eyebrows slightly raised, surprised at Ji Jue's appetite.

Not that he wanted too much, but too little.

Funding and support from City Hall are the basics, no matter who comes, they must get this clear first. The material and blessing storages from the three departments were originally planned as Ji Jue's reward.

The truly crucial and precious things certainly wouldn't be in the material library, and what Ji Jue could get would only be the material support from the three departments.

Besides this, although the threshold for spiritual fuel is high with strict reviews and complexities, for Lv Yingyue, it's not a real problem.

Ji Jue handles things so lightly, it's really unlike an Ember.

"This is a rare opportunity, aren't you going to consider it?"

For the sake of an old friend, Lv Yingyue reminded once more.

The appetite of young folks can actually be a bit bigger. Uncles and aunts have plenty of money in their pockets; the sensible child is popular but sometimes suffers grievances, whereas the one who's not sensible often earns more.

Sky-high asking price, then settle at a reasonable one.

Craftsmen talking money is not embarrassing.

"Besides that, if there's anything else needed, let the teacher help mention it."

Ji Jue smiled calmly, not paying much heed to Lv Yingyue's implications.

He said, "If the teacher needs me to do it, then I'll do it. If the teacher feels this is good, then let's go with that."

This was Ji Jue's own choice.

After clearly understanding the risks and rewards, he chose to take on this job from the teacher, holding opportunity or hardship in his own hands.

From start to finish, he always had a choice; he could easily turn away or say no to this arrangement.

As a teacher, Ye Xian did not take him for granted as a tool and expendable.

Even though a single command could suffice.

Not even mentioning Xiang Sword Theory's research, instead, handing over Hai Xiang Mirror to Ji Jue in advance, ensuring that whatever choice he makes, to stay or leave, future and freedom remain in his hands.

The teacher's painstaking efforts thus far; as a student, what more needs to hesitate?

Why leave the opportunity for other alternatives?

Sister Saltfish just needs to keep being a slacker, best to continue lounging on the sofa basking in the sun, doing nothing while eating chips and drinking cola, waiting for Director Ji to come back later and tell her his glorious achievements and to appreciate the latest papers and accomplishments of the Chief Craftsman.

The time to take up individual responsibility has come.

As a craftsman, one should not yield!

"Let's decide just like this." He said decisively.

In this brief silence, Lv Yingyue looked at his calm demeanor, and after a while, softly sighed, "You really are a good student, Ji Jue."

"Because there's a good teacher."

Ji Jue laughed, filled with pride.

Just like that, after brief pleasantries, he rose to bid farewell and departed.

The door closed.

In the silence, Lv Yingyue turned back, looking towards the city outside the window and the distant shimmering waves.

The afternoon sunlight fell through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a thread of sharp edge, cutting through darkness and light.

She leaned in a chair between the intense light and shadow, speechless, the gentle smile that everyone was accustomed to seemed to subtly dissolve in the interval of light and dark, revealing a complex and unspeakable meaning.

After a while, she softly sighed.

Why is Ye Xian always so lucky?

.

.

Once decided to do something, don't procrastinate.

Three months' time sounds long, but in reality, for an automobile factory, it's far too short, not even enough to go through a round of accounting period.

Otherwise, problems solvable by mechanical engineering wouldn't need to rely on alchemy.

After meeting with Lv Yingyue and the financial manager, Ji Jue promptly set off for the upcoming work site.

Coastal Automobile Factory.

Driving out of the city, it didn't take long before he spotted a middle-aged man with a ragged beard waiting enthusiastically by the roadside, waving to him.

"Mr. Ji, right?"

The middle-aged man immediately offered cigarettes and a lighter, beaming, "I just received the notice, so I've been waiting here. Are you going to inspect the factory? Come with me, just follow me, and after a bit more forward, take a left up ahead."

Under the guidance of the reception personnel, Little Niuma turned around the corner, passed through the woods, and the distant factory buildings gradually became clear.

Ji Jue couldn't help but stand tall and smile.

Appreciating the territory he was about to embark on.

The proxy director Ji Jue has arrived at his loyal Coastal Automobile Factory!

Then, he froze on the spot…

In the long silence, he looked at the scene outside the window, and after a while, turned to ask the co-driver, "Where's the automobile factory?"

"This is it."

The middle-aged man cheerfully raised his head, pointing forward.

The ground was covered with cracks, the collapsed walls, red paint sprayed debt-collecting words had become as mottled and blurred as the production slogans and safety warnings left from yesterday in the wind and rain.

By the cracked three-story small building, the decrepit factory entrance, rust mottled, swaying chains in the breeze created a rattling sound.

A skinny yellow dog skillfully slipped out of the door hole, walked to the factory building corner, and lifted its hind leg.

The silky drizzle moistened the wild grass growing through the cracks.

No pedestrians in sight.

In the factory area, a piece of green belt occupied by nearby old farmers had been cultivated into fields, the straw-hat black-skinned old farmer raised his hand, pouring down a ladle of farm fertilizer, the shallots and chives grow more gratifyingly.

A scene of vibrant prospering life and all things flourishing vividly appeared in front of eyes.

Ji Jue's vision darkened, then darkened again and again.

Damn, there aren't enough weeds!
