I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

As for the public sphere, the "Legendary Masterpiece" milestone had made it to the newspapers, causing a small ripple, but it didn't trigger too many chain reactions.

After all, in the eyes of the public, that Commander Lu created legendary items was quite normal...

What's the big deal if Lu Yuan did something that others couldn't?!

Only a few with the talent for craftsmanship truly understood the difficulty of creating a "Legendary Masterpiece," eagerly desiring to know exactly what that piece was, showing it to us!

They pleaded earnestly.

Left with no choice, Lu Yuan had to bite the bullet and displayed the two "Legendary Level" gloves for them.

"It's these..."

"Gloves?!"

This pair of gloves was as thin as cicada wings, looking just like a layer of plastic film.

But keep in mind, a Legendary Masterpiece can't be completed just by any old stitching together; it certainly harbors some special inspiration.

After Lu Yuan put them on, the gloves quickly adhered to his skin as if they were normal skin.

[Unique gloves crafted by the Legendary Craftsman Lu Yuan, granting your hands greater stability and perceptive abilities.]

[While wearing these gloves, spiritual power recovery rate increases by 17.1%, physical strength recovery rate by 26.2%, perception abilities towards Extraordinary Rhythms by 123%, and work focus by 29-38%.]

[Shape Attribute increased by 10.2%, Qi Attribute increased by 5.5%.]

The craftsmen were greatly shocked. Why so many benefits?

Especially that perception ability towards Extraordinary Rhythm...

It had actually more than doubled!

"That's right, these are a pair of tool gloves. Once put on, they allow for a better sensing of the veins of extraordinary items,"

"With these, I'll be able to create even more outstanding pieces with ease."

"The proper tools are a must for good work."

The craftsmen had an epiphany, their interest piqued, "That idea is indeed very smart."

Seeing their thoughts, Lu Yuan then said, "After I killed Painted Skin with a depleted uranium bomb and picked up some of its skin, I had a burst of inspiration and sewed it together."

"But don't aim too high too soon; you first need to learn knowledge and lay the foundation."

"If you can make Ordinary Level or higher items, and have the inspiration, I won't be stingy with better materials."

Immortal Level leather definitely can't be given out recklessly.

It's Strategic Level material that, if leaked, would have great consequences.

However, there are some other good materials in the national treasury.

Such as Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron, Ten Thousand-Year-Old Amber, Superior Level quality. (Acquired by the Empire's Royal Treasury)

The shell of the Leviathan, a Superior material.

The heartwood of the opium poppy tree, even reaching Legendary quality. (Needs the investment of Ideal Energy)

Moreover, the Tree of Life can also produce a small amount of Legendary materials, but all require the investment of energy, which is quite costly.

After Lu Yuan painted a grand picture, he solemnly added, "So the most important thing is still knowledge."

"Without knowledge, even with inspiration, it won't mean much."

"Look, this is the first thing I made when I also had inspiration... and compare it to now, isn't it worlds apart?"

He brought out the Fire Lizard Suit.

Actually, the Fire Lizard Suit was pretty outstanding too, with a simple beauty, an artwork in itself.

But compared with the Legendary Level gloves, there was no contest.

Just the complex engravings on the gloves overshadowed the past inspiration.

And the biggest gap between these talented craftsmen and Lu Yuan was actually the engravings... They didn't have engraving talent and would need a long time to learn.

"Here's the deal, I don't mind lending them to you for a few days. Once you've studied them, give them back to me, as they are my personal belongings,"

The boost from the "Legendary Level" was indeed significant, and Lu Yuan was not worried about anything.

It was unlikely someone would dare to steal a pair of gloves from him.

"Of course..." the leading Craftsman Master, Guo Jinzi, laughed loudly, "Borrowing a pair of gloves to feel the so-called extraordinary veins."

Civilization respects the private, and that's something everyone knows.

If you craft using the national treasury's materials, then of course it belongs to the nation, but Lu Yuan's personal materials are definitely private property.

If they create a Legendary Masterpiece subsequently, it would be the same, perhaps only having the priority to use it.

...

In the end, they were just staring blankly with nothing to show for their research!

They were just rushing to use the gloves.

There was truly a unique sensation! Their smithing level had risen!

Fights even broke out over who got to wear the gloves, and friendships of many years came to an end!

After discovering this, Lu Yuan was secretly amazed, but fortunately… there were plenty more gloves!

...

Both the Conch and Old Cat, upon receiving Lu Yuan's precious gift, were stricken stiff on the spot.

Lu Yuan said with a playful grin, "These clothes are unisex, so please don't mind."

"After we die in ten thousand years, they can still be scavenged by others, suitable for both men and women to wear."

"If you don't want them, I can wear them myself."

"Of course I want them!" Conch immediately pounced on Lu Yuan, hugged him briefly, then joyfully ran to the next room to change clothes.

Just as she turned the corner, Lu Yuan saw her eyes moist with tears, continuously wiping them away with her hands.

"Crying for no reason, how silly."

As for Old Cat, its whiskers trembled slightly.

Once it changed into that body...

It actually developed a sense of touch!

Although I still have no sense of smell or taste.

But to have touch, how marvelous!

The sunshine warms my body, a gentle breeze caresses my face, and my fur ripples with it.

I reminisce about a time long, long ago.

Back then, the great Cat Mama had just been born.

She was a frail little yellow cat who loved nothing more than to stride elegantly through the grass, chasing butterflies.

And now, incredibly, I have returned to the days of my youth, rolling around in the grass.

My body rolling over the wild grass brings a delicate tingling sensation, almost bringing me to tears. (Even though I have no tear ducts.)

Alive!!

This is what it means to be alive!!

"Meow meow meow!" Old Cat joyfully howls.

"If only I had a Holy King, oh comrade, I beg you! Lend me the Holy King for just two days, no, two hours!"

The seriously AI-flawed cat made a shameless request.

Lu Yuan was expressionless: "The Holy King just now is a no-go."

"I have over twenty thousand daughters, which one do you want?"

Old Cat was instantly floored, its eyes spinning in circles.

If the best quality king is off-limits, Lu Yuan refuses to give it up, then I must settle for second best and play with your daughter.

So, it changed its appearance from Orange Cat to a gray one, meowing softly and very satisfied with its own frail voice.

Then it scampered off, running towards the campus, and charged at a beautiful girl, acting very innocent.

"Ah, what a cute kitty, so chubby, such a huge size, like the old cat chairman of the high council."

"Meow?!!"

"Don't let Mr. Cat hear that, he has quite the temper," the two girls teased each other.

"Meow??"

"This can't be a stray cat... This fur is so beautiful." The girl couldn't help but squat down and touched its fluffy belly, "You poor thing, do you have an owner?"

Old Cat enjoyed it immensely.

No one could tell it was a robot!

This is living!

Living!

From today on, the campus has one more shapeshifting cat disaster.

Wait, who are you?

"Let's take it to the lost and found," said a sunny, cheerful boy, popping up.

Why are boys petting me too? Off with your grubby hands!!

Old Cat meowed indignantly.

...

Lu Yuan watched the blissful cat being petted and sighed softly.

He had also accomplished a bit of peace of mind.

As for how to let Old Cat further experience "living," well, that would have to be figured out slowly in the future...

"Wait, I forgot the gift from the Undying Giant Turtle!"

Never mind, Mr. Turtle's lifespan is almost eternal; he doesn't really need any fancy gifts. He's content farming at school.

Lu Yuan returned to his room very happily.

Conch was humming a tune, playing with her new clothes in front of the mirror.

The ability to continuously change colors and the fabric's texture felt like an exciting new toy.

Truth be told, Lu Yuan's sewing skills were still limited, making beautiful clothes was not an issue.

But beauty means sewing many stitches and maintaining "Immortal Level" was beyond his capability.

This shirt was just an ordinary design, nothing special about its look, but a pretty girl can make anything appear uniquely attractive.

Her facial profile had graceful contours, and perhaps due to her excitement, her cheeks glowed with healthy rosiness, looking like ripe red apples.

"Daddy Lu, come here!" Conch beckoned to Lu Yuan.

"What is it?"

"Reward for you! Close your eyes... oh wait! Open your mind and let me charm you a little," her pupils bloomed with a faint blue light.

The Divine Skill, Charm, a spiritual ability specifically designed for the opposite sex, was now being used as a toy for amusement.

Lu Yuan was teased into a flutter of anticipation yet somewhat worried about her making a mess.

If his Cultivation was ruined in an instant, wouldn't the Immortal Level clothes have been made in vain?

After closing his eyes, Lu Yuan felt his face cradled by a pair of soft hands, buried in something fragrant and soft.

After being mentally unsettled for quite a while and feeling his blood circulation speed up rapidly, Lu Yuan sensed his body temperature rising.

Upon opening his eyes, he discovered his face was buried in a sponge pillow.

Just a pillow?

Conch was holding back her laughter, "How's this pillow? A gift I chose with care, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yuan roared and lunged to catch her: "Have your soul leave your body."

"Ah? What does that mean!"

"Soul out-of-body, then leave! What follows is an adult's game, and we don't need this nuisance here."

Conch realized she'd played with fire too much and flushed deep red: "You scum, you pervert!!"
