Chapter 292: Absolute Tuning Fork and Semi-finished Products
Magus applied to the head office for two magic props, namely the 'Absolute Tuning Fork' and the 'Semi-finished Puppet Man'.

The Juelü Tuning Fork is a very wonderful magic prop that can emit sonic magic in a targeted manner. What's even more terrifying is that the sonic magic contained in it has the effect of mind control, and it is especially effective for puppets.

The 'semi-finished puppet' is used to use the 'Absolute Tuning Fork'. After all, it is a magic item left over from ancient times and is not something that ordinary people can use. This item has been used many times by people in the Starlight Trading Company since it arrived at the company, and each time it has played an unimaginable role. According to some magicians, the magic released by the 'Absolute Tuning Fork' is likely to have surpassed the great magic and reached the level of domain-level magic.

Domain-level magic!
This is a word that countless human magicians yearn for. Throughout the ages, even extraordinary magicians have only stopped at the exploration of great magic, unable to touch higher-level magic, which even made countless magicians doubt the existence of domain-level magic.

The only evidence of its existence is magic items such as the 'Zero-Law Tuning Fork' unearthed from the ruins of the dungeon, as well as large-scale magic ceremonies that the Holy See is suspected to have held.

There is a price to pay for using magic that exceeds one's ability to bear as a human being. Except for the 'Starlight Barrier' in King Alan's hand, which is controlled by blood power and has no side effects, the magic book in the hands of Brian under the 'Fourth Apostle' cost him his life after excessive use. The users of the 'Absolute Tuning Fork' fell into an abnormal coma after using it, and no one has woken up to this day. Even the Starlight Trading Company is helpless and can only claim that this is an unbreakable 'curse'.

Since then, no one has been willing to use this magic item, and it has been sealed in the treasury of Starlight Trading Company.

After getting the design drawings of the 'puppet man', the people of Starlight Trading Company had a sudden idea. They used this 'puppet man' to control props like the 'Juelü Tuning Fork' to prevent future troubles. After all, the puppet man is also a prop, so they would not feel bad if it was scrapped.

However, no one expected that the research and development of 'puppets' would be so difficult. To date, only some 'semi-finished puppets' have been produced. Although they are barely usable, they are far from the real 'puppets'.

The power of this "semi-finished puppet" is at most that of a silver-level human adventurer. However, the power of the "puppet" depicted in the design drawings is enough to be comparable to a glory-level adventurer. This of course makes the people of Starlight Trading Company very dissatisfied.

However, for Magnus' original plan, the 'semi-finished puppet' just happened to be useful. After all, it is a disposable item and there is nothing wrong with throwing it away after use. Compared with letting humans use it, the cost-effectiveness is very high.

"It's actually a semi-finished product of the highest standards. It seems that the president of the bank attaches great importance to it." Magnus glanced at the expressionless girl standing in front of him and sneered.

"Codename: Nineteen." The voice was cold without any emotion, and the girl was like a machine.

Magnus knew very well that this was also the defect of the "semi-finished puppet". Its basic function was to follow instructions and it lacked the ability to think independently. If it were a real "puppet", it could easily simulate human emotions and would be no different from ordinary humans.

"Defective product." Magnus seemed to be very disgusted with Nineteen. He turned his head and looked at the long box on the ground.

It looks like just an ordinary box, but if a magician is around, he can sense that the surface of the box is filled with a magical aura that is enough to scare anyone.

This seemingly ordinary box is also an extremely precious magic item. If there is no corresponding key, the box will automatically release magic to attack the holder. If it is forced open, the box will enter self-destruct mode.

Of course, Mags already had the key. He skillfully opened the magic seal on the box and took out a dark green tuning fork about 20 centimeters long.

Holding it in his hand, he felt unexpectedly comfortable, as if he was wrapped in a natural breeze, which made him feel much more cheerful. Even the haze lingering in Magnus' heart was dispelled a little, making him much clearer.

"This is the power of the 'Zero-Tune Fork'." Magnus looked at the magic item over and over again.

His original plan was to use the 'Absolute Tuning Fork' to control the perfect 'puppet man' and use it for his own purposes, and then use this 'sample' to advance the 'puppet man plan', but now it contains unimaginable crises.

Magnus threw the "Zero-Tune Tuning Fork" to Nineteen, frowned and said, "Follow me." Nineteen followed Magnus silently, and the two of them crossed the entire underground research field, attracting the curious eyes of many researchers.

These people who had been in contact with the "puppet people" underground for many years were very familiar with the aura emanating from Nineteen. They stared at Nineteen with shining eyes.

"What are you looking at? It's just a defective product. What's so good about it? Go do your job!" Magnus shouted coldly.

He would not let these people study a semi-finished product because it would be easy to go astray. This kind of semi-finished product requires a large investment and has little return, which is not cost-effective at all. Therefore, Starlight Trading Company stopped production after spending a lot of money to make some.

After being yelled at by Magnus, those people withdrew their gazes in dismay and continued with their homework.

Nineteen seemed to not care about anything, and ignored the strange looks from others. He just walked slowly with the 'Jue Lu Tuning Fork' in his arms, his face expressionless.

She suddenly stopped and looked up.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and leave!" Magnus was getting angrier and angrier. He even had the urge to abandon Nineteen.

Because Magnus himself hates all races other than humans. When he was young, he watched his parents being eaten alive by werewolf warriors while fleeing from the war. From then on, he harbored the greatest malice towards all races other than humans.

Moreover, he is a perfectionist and doesn't like anything that is not perfect.

The crude and rotten semi-finished products around him made him feel very disgusted.

Nineteen stared at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking, and was indifferent to Magnus' words.

In Nineteen's perception, there was a being as hot as the sun coming to the Starlight Company. It was definitely a puppet that was countless times more perfect than her. No, could such a being still be called a 'puppet'? Even humans could not be even a fraction as good as her.

To call them angels is blasphemy.

Can an artificial life form called a puppet reach this level?

Nineteen really wanted to express her confusion with an expression or some words, but she couldn't do it. Apart from a few short words, she couldn't utter a complete sentence. The muscles on her face were completely out of her control. She couldn't even move the slightest movement like moving the corners of her mouth.

She wanted to think further, but she couldn't do it. The processing power of her central nervous system had already reached its limit. After hearing Magnus's scolding, Nineteen withdrew her gaze and followed him again.

"Waste." Magnus was furious when he saw Nineteen's dull look, but considering that he still needed this semi-finished product to use the 'Absolute Tuning Fork', he suppressed his anger and walked into his office, while Nineteen just stood quietly outside the door, her eyes involuntarily moving along a certain trajectory.

This chapter was written in July and it has been four months in a blink of an eye. I thought I would have no chance to publish it again, but who knew that the book that was on the Investiture of the Gods was released again. It's really a headache. The author has written a new book "Reborn Gods in Another World" on Chuangshi, which is QQ Reading. It already has 10 words. It is also about the invincible world. Friends who are interested can go and have a look. Because this book has been sealed for several months, I have been busy writing the new book recently, and I have forgotten many settings and plots for full-level players. Therefore, this book can only be updated at random for the time being. I would like to apologize to the book friends who have subscribed and rewarded me. You may as well take a look at the new book. It can be regarded as learning some lessons from this book, which should be pretty good.
