The Black Bear Creature utilized his Brainwave Power to swiftly disassemble the surrounding objects onto his workstation.

On the other side, the Rat Monster also used Brainwave Power, but instead of directly disassembling materials onto his workstation, he continuously processed them in the air, speeding up the assembly process.

”This is what’s different between the Rat Monsters and regular technicians. He always claims that future factories should learn from the plans of large Industrial Stars, where division of labor is clear, and everyone does their specific tasks. This way, the work mode becomes highly efficient. Additionally, his technique allows him to apply the double-concentration manipulation method used by the Strong Ones. What he’s doing now is handling many materials at once. Although his ability is still lacking, resulting in a high failure rate, the speed does increase slightly.”

The commentary on the side was very enthusiastic.

After listening to all this, Jia Yan felt a bit curious about the Rat Monster creature on the other side. He didn’t necessarily think that the Black Bear was correct in every aspect, and he somewhat agreed with the Rat Monster’s approach to work, especially concerning the detailed division of labor, which was a work style that aligned closely with Jia Yan’s ideas.

But agreement doesn’t equal capability. Jia Yan guessed from the beginning that the loser would surely be the Rat Monster.

”Moreover, even I wouldn’t be happy with such a wasteful innovative method. This kind of waste at least doubles the amount of material, and the quality of the finished product isn’t good either.”

Jia Yan looked at the Rat Monster in silence, estimating that aside from innovatively applying factory work methods, the Rat couldn’t compare to the Black Bear in any other area. In terms of technician skills, if measured using regular standards, it’s hard to say. However, since he used the Avatar method, there was no contest. He was bound to lose.

It came as no surprise that after the thirty-minute contest between the Rat Monster and the Black Bear, the Black Bear managed to use Brainwave Power to create a shaped piece of some material. Meanwhile, the Rat Monster was still busy reinforcing various machines, needing to combine them to create a complete product.

”I won.”

The Black Bear Creature said plainly to the Rat Monster creature.

The Rat Monster stopped his actions. He was only a little bit away; with just the ability to assemble what’s before him, his product would be complete.

It’s worth noting that this was his first time assembling such materials, and if given another opportunity, the results might not be the same.

”I won’t say you took advantage or anything; a bet is a bet, and you won. I won’t compete for that job with you in the future. However, I must tell you that you need to complete this job quickly because it is possibly connected to a Galactic Grade Lord. It’s not just you and I; our entire corporation could be obliterated instantly if we irritate him.”

What the Rat Monster said caused Jia Yan and everyone present to shudder collectively.

Jia Yan was even momentarily shocked.

”A Star-level technician can’t possibly have connections to a Galactic Grade existence, right? At the very least, they must reach Semi-permanent Star Level to even possibly relate to a Stellar-grade. After all, technicians are not judged by level, but to assist a Galactic Grade existence, one would need Semi-permanent Star Level abilities. Could it be that the materials he spoke of are actually a hardware module in a Galactic Grade battleship?”

Jia Yan silently speculated for a while, fundamentally finding it hard to believe that this Star-level Rat Monster could be connected to a Galactic Grade existence.

The surrounding creatures thought similarly, for a Galactic Grade existence was beyond their imagination, akin to how a regular person on Earth views an Immortal—utterly captivating. Encountering a Galactic Grade existence once in a lifetime is incredibly fortunate, like having luck poured out on your ancestors’ graves.

Even for creatures of their Star-level, encountering a Stellar-grade existence once in a lifetime seemed like an unimaginably significant honor.

”Just wait; if the Black Bear fails to deliver what is desired, when the other side comes knocking, you’ll see how you handle it. Then you’ll find out whether what I said is false.”

The Rat Monster was seemingly agitated and stormed off after admitting defeat, leaving the Black Bear Creature’s factory.

”Haha, I’m victorious. This guy lost so easily despite his unique refining method. Hopefully, I won’t need to fear him in the future.”

The Black Bear Creature laughed heartily before sending off the crowd, declaring he needed to work.

”Jia Yan, right? Come on, let’s continue working. We lost a lot of time due to that guy’s interruption.”

”Alright.”

Jia Yan didn’t particularly mind the Black Bear Creature using every moment to push work efficiency. After all, since the factory’s owner dedicated himself to working consistently, Jia Yan saw no reason to rest either. Besides, this was merely an avatar. Jia Yan could spare a bit of energy, enabling this avatar to work continuously for many days without needing rest.

In other words, upon reaching a high skill level, tasks that seem exceedingly challenging and technical to weaker individuals appear trivial to a Strong One. Techniques used by the Black Bear Creature could be learned by Jia Yan at a glance.

”Hmm, you even mastered this? I wanted to teach you, but if you could grasp this method that requires three years of effort, then—I guess I’ll need to find something else to teach you.”

Witnessing Jia Yan’s Brainwave Power quickly pour boiling hot iron into a lead block while simultaneously controlling it so the lead wouldn’t overly intersect with the hot iron, only creating intense heat fusion at certain spots before swiftly adhering them together.

For any skilled technician, this involved complex techniques, but Jia Yan managed to grasp most of it after a single glance, even using an avatar, a feat that his true body could easily replicate without further learning.

”Alright, given your powerful learning ability, I won’t hold back. If you can learn from me, then I’ll teach you. Skilled technicians are scarce nowadays; seeing a Master Level technician rise would be delightful.”

The Black Bear Creature saw Jia Yan’s prowess and did not keep skills to himself. For traditional technicians, dwindling in number amidst factory-dominated planets, finding someone to continue their traditional techniques was seen as beneficial.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that Jia Yan wouldn’t be staying long on this planet, and learning these techniques was merely for amusement—whether they would be used in the future was uncertain.

”Now that you’ve mastered most of my techniques, let’s work overtime. Although that guy claimed the employer is Galactic Grade, exaggerating somewhat, it’s definitely a powerful individual involved. If my inference is correct, it’s a part of a Stellar-grade Lord’s battleship, so let’s work hard to ensure there’s no mistake; otherwise, an enraged Stellar-grade existence would pose a significant issue for our backing corporation even.”

After finishing, the Black Bear began working calmly, his speed slightly quicker than Jia Yan’s. Of course, this was under Jia Yan’s intentional restraint, using regular Star-level abilities and unfamiliarity with tools that slowed him down.

However, this did not last long. When the Black Bear Creature noticed the rapid disappearance of surrounding iron blocks and various materials, he turned to find Jia Yan surpassing his speed, swiftly consuming materials.
