God Of Crafting

Chapter 140: Demonstration

The moment I pushed the cord into the socket... felt weirdly flat.

On one end, it was a groundbreaking moment of not only proving that a higher-level energy converter could work and transform more electric current into spiritual energy than what a simple USB charger could provide... But also, it was the first time when this device would be made to work in the plain view of people beyond me, Claire, or Chihiro!

Still, from the perfectly practical point of view, all I did was push a cable into a socket.

Heck! m|v|l|e m|p|y|r original content

From a mortal point of view, nothing much happened either, save for how the device was now connected to a live current.

All it took to change one's opinion over what was going on, however, was a single look at the air around the device... No, the air in the room with a cultivator's sense to realize just how massive of a moment... No, how fucking historical of a moment it was!

"It works..." Chihiro muttered as if he refused to believe everything would go as planned up to the very last moment.

'An approach that leaves him with nothing but happy surprises, not bad,' I thought, stopping myself from grinning out like an idiot, something I was tired enough to actually do if I failed to control myself properly!

"Sir, it appears that the device is indeed what it was told to be, but..."

From the series of murmurs that exploded within the small crowd, I've managed to pick out the most interesting part, the report of the cultivator that Clayton's guests brought over to ensure they weren't just getting scammed by some crafty device of the battery-powered perpetum-mobile kind.

"Excuse me," one of Clayton's guests raised their hand as they spoke up. "Would it be possible for our expert to examine the device?"

Only for a bunch of Chihiro's men to come over, each carrying a huge, plastic box in their hands. And even before they arrived, just by reading the huge labels slapped on the side of each of those boxes, I could breathe out a sigh of relief.

Both the circuit boards I've spent the entire night soldering but also the plastic cases for the device were there. That point was only to be expected, though, given how we brought them over in the very same car we rode to this place.

It was the third box, however, that I couldn't be sure to be at the location... not until the moment I saw Chihiro's man bring it over.

A box filled with the most crucial element of the device, and arguably the most expensive part of it, save for the branding and the idea costs that would need to be added the day we would try to figure out how to price it.

"Now, if I could ask all of you for a bit of attention," I called out right as Chihiro's men put the boxes down all around me, allowing me to quickly reach out and assemble a small array from all the pieces I needed to construct a prototype.

The process itself... was surprisingly easy.

All I had to do was grab the casing, push the cord into its designated hole by slightly bending away a locking piece of plastic, screw in the circuit board roughly in the middle of the casing, pull the cables out of the charging cord, and wrap them around the power pins on the circuit board, confirm there was no damage to the board itself before adding a total of five big Spricur stones into five designated spots at the other end of the casing before finally connecting the stones to the circuit with a set of specially designed cables with syringe-like penetrator at their outer end allowing me to stab the wire inside of the stone.

"Now, all that's left is to beautify this product, but I will leave this responsibility to the man who so kindly offered to set up a whole new factory just to build plastic toppers for it..." I muttered as I raised the finished device up into the air to showcase it to all while I sarcastically joked around a bit, to the detriment of the fucker that dared to speak up against me before.

And a moment of laughter later, I moved with this device to another socket, before pushing the cable in place and holding the device up, allowing the crowd's expert to check it out.

The man himself stood silent for a moment as he closed his eyes and reached out with his spirituality towards the device... Only to then take a step back and slowly open his eyes.

At first, he simply stared at me with his eyes wide open, as if he simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. Then, however, the man cleared his throat as he composed himself only to turn towards his boss and nod his head.

"It's working, sir," the cultivator reported with a complex mix of emotions fighting for dominance over his face. "This device actually works as the mayor described."
