Yang Yuan returned to the corpse, reached out his hand, and very violently tore off the scales at the front of the corpse before forcibly ripping open an opening and extracting the core from inside.

"You have a lot of strength," Zhao Jiayan marveled. She couldn't cut the corpse's skin with a knife, yet Yang Yuan managed to extract the core with his bare hands.

The difference is too vast.

Isn't it said that Functional Superpower Users don't have strong individual combat abilities?

Could the Conceptual System be an exception among the functional types?

"It's alright, anyway I won't use it, I'm not planning to engage in close combat with enemies."

Yang Yuan took out a water bag, rinsed the core stained with green liquid clean, and said, "The blood of this alien creature is green, which is completely different from humans... It has a very strong energy fluctuation, it looks like it's indeed a Spirit Monster Core."

Zhao Jiayan took the core and sensed it, exclaiming, "It looks no different from intelligent beings, but unexpectedly, it's a spirit monster. In this case, its presence here seems not to be strange."

"A Human-level Spirit Core, not bad. There's another one over there, I'll go get it," Yang Yuan said.

Zhao Jiayan hurriedly reminded, "The scales on them are very hard. You can take them off as materials. I feel these scales are harder than many metals. If made into crossbow arrows, the power should be greater. Also, their bones don't seem too bad."

Yang Yuan's eyes lit up, "No wonder you're my wise helper, so ruthless; I didn't even think about skinning and disassembling bones."

Zhao Jiayan argued, "This isn't an intelligent species, but a spirit monster. What's wrong with skinning and disassembling bones? When I was previously in the safe zone, I heard that aside from common spirit monsters like Earth Crawlers and Stone Monsters, many rare spirit monsters are all treasure all over."

"Makes sense, I'll bring the corpse back."

Yang Yuan rode on the Funeral Crow again to bring another corpse back.

Zhao Jiayan originally intended to help with the dissection but helplessly found that even using a small knife as a tool, she couldn't dissect the corpse of this humanoid spirit monster.

"Can you use this strengthening ability to enhance the knife?"

She looked at Yang Yuan, who dismantled bones and scales with bare hands, and suggested, "If possible, could you enhance a knife?"

"Knife..."

Yang Yuan was about to say knives have no structure and can't be assembled, but suddenly an idea struck him.

No structure? He could create structure!

Like dividing the knife into several modules and assembling them, wouldn't that work?

Additionally, there are arrow shafts—if possible, they could also be assembled and upgraded in the same way.

Not only that, but also axes and other single items.

Yang Yuan's eyes brightened, "Let me try."

He immediately stood up and drew a small knife on the screen of the printer, then used the printer's built-in splitting function to divide it into several modules.

That is, the handle as one module, the blade consisting of the edge, and the spine constitutes another.

A total of three modules.

He had tried before, and at least three modules are required to generate data—for instance, an axe only consisting of a head and handle won't generate data.

This is why he had never manufactured an axe.

Once the small knife was drawn, he inserted three scales into the printer.

"Beep beep beep... Material hardness has reached the limit value, there is a risk of damaging the printer..."

Suddenly, the printer displayed this alert.

Yang Yuan raised his eyebrow; those scales were indeed tough.

To know, a level nine printer's printing limits can exceed diamond, with the hardest printable material reaching a hardness of eleven, while diamond is only at ten hardness.

"Is it okay?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

"There's a bit of an issue, but not too big," Yang Yuan patiently waited.

Due to the hardness of the materials, it took a full half hour for the three modules to finally print.

Fortunately, luck was on their side this time, and the printer wasn't damaged.

Yang Yuan picked up the three modules and began assembling them.

The moment the assembly was completed, data appeared:

[Small Knife lvl.1: 0/2 (Sharp small knife; non-upgradable)]

Yang Yuan smiled broadly, knowing his idea was correct.

At least three modules; if the modules aren't enough, he could create new ones, like splitting larger original modules into smaller ones.

"How is it?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

"It's workable," Yang Yuan nodded and then took this small knife, similar to the Little Li Flying Dagger, to the humanoid spirit monster's corpse and made a cut.

Almost without feeling much resistance, the skin of the corpse was sliced open.

"So sharp."

Yang Yuan noticed his experience slightly increased, raised an eyebrow, and then attempted to cut the scales, finding that although he could cut, it required considerably more effort.

"It's rather useful, you can have it." Yang Yuan casually upgraded the knife to level two and handed it to Zhao Jiayan.

After reaching level two, the knife didn't have any changes or characteristics, just the bonding between modules became more firm.

Zhao Jiayan took the knife and tried it on the corpse, exclaiming at its sharpness, "This kind of knife, if placed on the former Earth, would be a legendary weapon, priceless."

She directly threw away her rusted pocket knife that she had treasured for three years.

"It's also metal; throwing it away is a waste."

Yang Yuan picked up the rusted pocket knife and casually put it into the printer, intending to print another small knife like before to gradually upgrade.

The reason for not using scales again is because the printer is now in a semi-waste state; if those scales are inputted again, it might break...

"Crack!"

The printer's screen suddenly went black.

Yang Yuan froze.

Zhao Jiayan looked over in confusion, "Is it broken?"
