Inside the compartment of the Inspection Vehicle, Jiang Yi stared unblinkingly at the Anvil on the Inspection Table. This was the thing that had just requested to speak with him through the Light Screen.
On the Light Screen, new information popped up:
"Question from the Great Anvil:"
"Brother, is this how you maintain your equipment? My God, this is the most boring, most hollow device I've ever seen..."
Jiang Yi stared at the Light Screen for two seconds, then uncertainly pointed a finger at himself:
Uh, me?
Was the brother talking about him? And the maintained equipment... was it referring to the vehicle?
Jiang Yi glanced at the forklift, which looked dusty and worn after nearly three days of travel—
The compartment, with its open windows, had let in a lot of sand and dust, and because of his habit of piling up miscellaneous items, it looked like a general store.
Calling it a general store was a compliment; from a distance, it looked no different from a junkyard.
Jiang Yi scratched his head, uncertainly saying:
"Uh, sorry?"
—Jiang Yi found it a bit absurd; he didn't know why he was apologizing to an Anvil.
"It's okay, brother, let me help you! I can't wait to make this boring place interesting!"
As it spoke, a flexed bicep emoji popped up on the Light Screen.
It was hard to imagine an Anvil with arms...
"[Great Anvil]:
Hey, brother, let's not waste time on boring things like repairs or renaming, let's try [Enchant] directly! Brother, I promise, you'll love the feeling!"
With that, an option popped up!
[Would you like to choose [Enchant]?]
And an additional note, [Please note: Once the vehicle is [Enchanted], the effect cannot be removed, meaning the nature of the vehicle will completely change! Please make your choice carefully!]
...
...
Staring at the prompt on the Light Screen, Jiang Yi hesitated once again!
From his interactions so far, Jiang Yi could almost confirm that this Anvil was definitely a divine artifact. The system's reaction was one indication, and the Anvil's rich self-awareness was another!
A tool with self-awareness, no wonder the system offered 300 Car Coins for its recovery!
Jiang Yi even suspected that the 300 Car Coins price had some profit margin! Otherwise, the system wouldn't be so proactive!
However, when it came to actually using it, Jiang Yi hesitated a bit.
There was too little prior information!
He didn't even know what Enchant specifically meant in this game?
Moreover, according to the note, there was only one chance to use [Enchant], once used, it was gone!
...
At this moment, the system, having recovered from its earlier frustration and anger, quietly watched Jiang Yi again, curious about his next decision.
The system couldn't help but think, ha, poor human, hesitating again at this moment?
The unknown is the greatest source of fear for humans!
Ha, if Jiang Yi asked it what Enchant was at this moment, it would count down from ten, then tell him at the last second:
[This is a game secret, unauthorized access is not allowed!]
Hmph, it also wanted this human to experience what it felt like to have hopes dashed!
...
It thought it was so clever, but unfortunately, Jiang Yi was the least afraid of making decisions in unknown situations.
Gamblers might be rational before making a decision, but in the end, they usually choose to go all in.
So, after hesitating for a few seconds, the system watched in disbelief as Jiang Yi calmly chose [Yes].
System: "... *****"
Calm, my foot.
What do you know? You just choose.
[Buzz——]
A sharp electric current sound rang in Jiang Yi's mind, and he rubbed his ear, casually asking, "System, did you blow a fuse?"
System: "..."
Damn.
If it ever tries to guess this human's thoughts again, it would be a fool!
...
After Jiang Yi chose [Yes], the Anvil was completely thrilled!
"Wow, brother, I really like you!"
"No thanks," Jiang Yi said righteously without batting an eye.
—He would really take it seriously.
This was the most painful lesson taught by that batch of fans.
"[Great Anvil]
Hahaha, brother, you're really interesting!"
The Light Screen flickered as if the Anvil's soul was laughing, "Alright, let's not waste time, let's get to work! For God's sake, let's see how charming this broken device becomes after [Enchant]!"
From within the Anvil, a milky white light began to emit dazzling sparks, as if an invisible soul was forging, heating, preparing for the initial processing!
The milky white light first reached the Inspection Table, making it longer and wider, extending a fold, and the Anvil's embedded position coincided with the new fold!
Jiang Yi had initially worried that embedding the Anvil would leave him no place to sleep, but now, he didn't have to worry about the "bed" issue!
After the Inspection Table changed, next was the compartment!
A one-meter square hole was opened at the top of the compartment, and in the next second, new dialogue appeared on the Light Screen:
"[Great Anvil]:
Brother, don't you even have a wooden board?"
Seeing the purely inquisitive question mark on the screen, Jiang Yi felt embarrassed for the first time.
He really didn't.
Fortunately, this Anvil brother seemed to have a rather generous personality and didn't mind such things too much,
"By the way—"
"Brother, can you jump two meters high?"
Jiang Yi: "?"
Jiang Yi suspected he was seeing things.
"Hahahahaha, just kidding, but brother, you look quite thin, you should exercise more! The guy I dealt with before, ha, broad shoulders and a sturdy waist, that's a man's physique!"
The system thought Jiang Yi was crazy, but now, Jiang Yi felt like he had met a real lunatic.
Otherwise, why couldn't he understand what this guy was saying?
After the Anvil finished laughing, suddenly, Jiang Yi saw the Anvil's size seemed to shrink by a circle! At the same time:
[You have received a gift from the [Great Anvil]:
Iron Plate*10, Iron Block*5, Screw*12]
The prompt sounded, and before the items could fall into Jiang Yi's hands, they were enveloped by the milky white light and flew upwards!
Then, Jiang Yi could feel the rumbling sound of hammering coming from outside the compartment!
His heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Yi jumped out of the compartment, looking towards the top of the compartment in the sunlight—
There, a second-level compartment extended out!
Even some materials were reinforced to the first-level compartment!
After finishing the compartment, the iron block moved to the front driver's seat, and Jiang Yi quickly ran over.
The milky white light saw the Refined Rebar Steel Fork above Jiang Yi's driver's seat, and new information excitedly popped up on the Light Screen:
"Brother, this is good stuff!"
"!", Jiang Yi was startled and hurriedly said, "This can't be used!"
—This was one of his few weapons, it couldn't be used for repairs!
"Don't worry, not all of it!"
"Trust me, brother!"
"..."
Jiang Yi was full of questions, but since he had already chosen [Enchant], there was no room for regret, so he could only hesitantly hand over the Steel Fork;
With a dull sound, the Refined Rebar Steel Fork was actually broken!
Jiang Yi doubted his eyes, damn it, this was rebar steel!
Does [Enchant] defy physics? Is the effect this overbearing?!
The Rebar Steel Fork was broken, but only a small part. The original Rebar Steel Fork was long and heavy, not easy to handle;
Now, with the length reduced, the remaining length was about 1.2 to 1.3 meters, similar to a long sword or long knife.
Taking the broken and modified Steel Fork from the milky white light, Jiang Yi swung it casually, and he had to admit, the feel was much more comfortable!
And the remaining materials were used by the Anvil on the front forks, extending the length by twenty to thirty centimeters! At the same time, they became denser and more solid!
"Really quite excellent material!"
The Anvil was completely absorbed, "Now there's only the most important step left!"
The milky white light flew back into the Inspection Vehicle compartment!
Seeing this sentence on the Light Screen, Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed inside!
