Chapter 1285: Winning a Grand Award
Fangzheng was left speechless.
Having said everything he needed to say, Fangzheng prepared to bid farewell. However, before Fangzheng left, Nguyen Anh Chu suddenly said,
Master, if you really want to renounce asceticism, I think I’m quite alright.

Fangzheng’s face flushed red as he hurriedly kicked Lone Wolf who was lying outside and watching an old hen lay eggs.
Nguyen Anh Chu looked at Fangzheng’s pathetic back and smiled.
Wang Yougui laughed as well. Although he respected Fangzheng, he still loved him like a doting father.
In China, who wouldn’t want their children to get married and have children? Even if the other party was a monk…
Therefore, Wang Yougui sneakily asked,
Madam Nguyen, are you for real?

Nguyen Anh Chu looked up and said,
I never lie. Firstly, I don’t want to. Secondly, I find it beneath me! Master is very handsome and has a good character. He saved the lives of my family and is capable… I like him! However, I’m afraid I’m not worthy… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Village Chief Wang, how about we talk about your Frost Bamboo Tea? I think we can make a partnership…

When it came to business, Nguyen Anh Chu immediately became shrewd and domineering.
When Wang Yougui heard that, he was immediately delighted. Although One Finger Village was on the rise, its development was reaching its limits by relying on tourism due to One Finger Monastery’s size, traffic, and other factors.
Wang Yougui was wondering how he could improve One Finger Village further. Unfortunately, he was unable to contact major enterprises. He did not fancy small enterprises either.
Now that there was a huge client worth hundreds of millions, he naturally wouldn’t let it go.
Fangzheng had no idea what the two discussed.
At that moment, Fangzheng had already returned to One Finger Monastery. He looked up at the sky and then at the heavy snow on the mountain. He sighed and said,
I really wish to enjoy the spring early… With so much timber, it should at least double One Finger Monastery’s size…

After returning to the monastery, in his meditation room, Fangzheng took out the green Kasaya from under the chest and draped it over his body. He mumbled,
System, This Penniless Monk has done so many good deeds. It’s time to make a draw at the lottery. Show me the good stuff!


Are you sure you want to begin the draw now?
asked the System.

Yes, now. By the way, how much merit do I have now?

The System said,
You have 390,000 merit points now. All the things that you have done recently earned quite a bit of merit. Previously, you imparted bamboo carving skills to the villagers. The villagers set up a school, changing the fates of many people. This provided you with quite a bit of merit. However, most of the merit comes from the stone slabs. After the Chinese doctors learned them, they saved many people. You received a lot of merit. Furthermore, the increase in merit accelerates. At this speed, after the new year, you will have about 500,000 merit.

Fangzheng said excitedly,
That much?


Is that much?

When Fangzheng thought of how he needed ten billion merit points to renounce asceticism, his excitement instantly vanished. He sighed and said,
System, there are only six billion people in the world. Even if I were to save them all, it wouldn’t be ten billion.

The System said,
Be content. If it were in a Great World like the Earth Immortal World, there would be another 10 billion zeros behind the number. You’ve already been given a discount.

Fangzheng shook his head helplessly.
Forget it. Let’s not think about it. Let’s do the draw.

Fangzheng could tell that if he really wanted to earn merit, saving people one by one would be too slow. The true speed was to teach people to fish and then constantly replicate this… Although he earned less merit individually, the quantity made up for it. He had merit deposited daily!
Just as Fangzheng was letting his thoughts run wild,
System:
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Machinery Techniques.

Fangzheng was taken aback. Machinery Techniques?
Before he could snap out of his daze, many things suddenly appeared in his mind! Following that, these things exploded. Fangzheng immediately understood many things, especially with the ingenious usage of various mechanisms. He flipped through them carefully and even flipped through all sorts of methods related to circuit boards!

Heavens, can I even build a computer by myself?
Just as this thought came to Fangzheng’s mind, he had countless proposals for creating computers. The CPU, GPU, motherboard, graphic cards, and all kinds of nonsensical things popped up. More importantly, he actually knew how to do it! What materials and methods could be used to make the best!
What left Fangzheng even more astonished was not only these things. In his mind, he also had the technology to create rockets, aircraft, artillery, intercontinental missiles, laser weapons…
Fangzheng was completely dumbfounded. What was he doing? Was he going to have a meteoric rise? He had clearly obtained Machinery Techniques, so how did he become so knowledgeable of advanced technology?
Fangzheng asked the question in his heart.
The System replied lazily,
What do you think technology is? In the Earth Immortal World, Machinery Techniques refers to anything that doesn’t cultivate yourself, techniques that rely on external machinery! Most human technology is still stuck at the stage of not developing their own power and researching how to use external machinery to improve themselves. This stage is known as the first fundamental stage. When human technology makes a breakthrough in human genetics and manages to exceed their original lifespan, overcome diseases, and develop the brain, it can then be considered the second stage of breaking through the technological barrier…

Therefore, it’s not surprising that a portion of the familiar technology you know of is being classified as Machinery Techniques.

After Fangzheng heard that, he understood the System. This also meant that the machines created by humans were all considered Machinery Techniques. However, it was not considered when humans studied genetics. However, the machines that could aid in genetic engineering were also considered Machinery Technique…
Regardless, Fangzheng was shocked by Machinery Techniques. It was too impressive!
Previously, the woodwork that Fangzheng learned was actually a part of Machinery Techniques. For example, using wood to make wheelbarrows.
However, the materials required for those items were too mystical. It was impossible for Fangzheng to find them, so he did not take it seriously.
But now…
Fangzheng cracked his wrist and chuckled.
The mountain is so boring. I should build a human for fun!

Fangzheng turned thought into action. Of course, if he really wanted to make a robot, Fangzheng didn’t have the materials, but it wouldn’t be a problem to make a set of armor.
Fangzheng liked such things when he was young. Unfortunately, he didn’t know how or afford it.
Now that he knew how, what was he waiting for?
Fangzheng immediately ran about and began chopping bamboo. Then, he used the bamboo carving techniques to carve out the various armors. At the same time, he got Red Boy to go down the mountain to each household to gather copper, iron, and aluminum, as well as all kinds of unwanted circuit boards…
Red Boy’s interest was piqued when he saw that Fangzheng was about to do a big project. He immediately went down the mountain and led Salted Fish down.
Salted Fish had Meru space. Everything they obtained could be stuffed inside, saving them a lot of trouble.
Having stuffed quite a number of things in, Red Boy suddenly grabbed Salted Fish and asked,
Junior Brother, didn’t you say that your scales only have a square meter in space? Why is there still so much space despite stuffing in so many things?
