The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

After gaining Lin Ye’s permission, An Xinmeng took out a toolkit from her Spatial Bag. As she unfolded it, it was filled with common tools like engraving knives, chisels, hammers, and more. Yet, there were also many items Lin Ye had never seen before and couldn’t name.

Clearly, these are tools meant for professions like Array Masters, so it’s normal for outsiders not to understand them.

Each trade has its expertise. No matter how strong someone is, they can’t truly be omniscient. Especially, Lin Ye’s understanding of Array Masters is quite superficial.

An Xinmeng placed the helmet on the table and began to tinker with it, tapping and hammering away diligently.

Seeing her focused expression, Lin Ye understood why she achieved good results in the Array Master profession.

Often, a seemingly ordinary person merely hasn’t found their niche.

Just because one can switch to a rare profession, it doesn’t mean they can unleash the full potential of that profession. If you don’t have that capability, no matter how strong the profession is, it’s just a waste on you.

An Xinmeng clearly suits the Array Master profession. Achieving such a level at her age means she naturally has talent. But, evidently, besides talent, she also has a genuine passion for this profession, given her focused attitude.

Merely having talent doesn’t guarantee achievements in a field.

Watching An Xinmeng do her work, Lin Ye realized things might not be as simple as he initially thought.

After a long while, An Xinmeng finally set down the helmet, her collagen-rich little face slightly furrowed.

“The material of this helmet is somewhat special. If you forcefully use common tools to engrave the Array, the failure rate might be quite high.”

Clearly, she hadn’t anticipated that the work, which Chen Daosheng said would meet the pass line, would be restricted by the tools.

Lin Ye scratched his head. He knew stabilizing an Array is one of the basic Arrays, but he hadn’t considered that the helmet’s material was indeed special.

The issue An Xinmeng raised was something Lin Ye, an outsider, couldn’t have foreseen.

“What’s the damage rate? Is there a solution?” Lin Ye asked.

Lin Ye had quite a number of helmets on hand. Even if he distributed three or four per Anen Race member, it would still be more than enough.

However, before finding a way to replicate these helmets, damage must be minimized. It’s a non-renewable resource, so without control, it will eventually run out.

Upon hearing this, An Xinmeng pondered for a while before saying, “I can probably only ensure a fifty percent success rate, but with suitable tools, the success rate should increase to over ninety percent.”

After pausing, An Xinmeng said, “Alternatively, you can find a Master-level Array Master. They might have other solutions.”

Her voice grew softer as she said the latter part, her eyes fixated on the helmet.

Since awakening alongside Lin Ye, she was also at the cusp of graduation.

An Xinmeng chose the academic path. Although her thesis was close to halfway finished, the helmet Lin Ye presented made her realize that publishing research on the new material for engraving Arrays would definitely propel her thesis.

“Find a Master-level Array Master?”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment, evidently not keen on seeking such high-level figures.

They could indeed be found.

Even without having anyone step in, Chen Daosheng’s current status and position could easily attract numerous willing Master-level individuals.

But these individuals are all exceedingly busy, finding them could take anywhere from a month to half a year.

To have them drop everything to assist…

Lin Ye asked himself if it was necessary to owe such a favor.

“What kind of tools are suitable?” Lin Ye inquired.

Since people couldn’t be found, the breakthrough must come from the tools. As An Xinmeng mentioned, with suitable tools, a success rate of over ninety percent is achievable, which is sufficient.

“Tools…”

An Xinmeng seemed troubled.

There aren’t many Array Masters to begin with. Even the most basic tools are expensive due to low demand.

The higher the quality and level of tools, the higher the price, often far exceeding main combat profession weapons.

Truly top-tier tools don’t exist in the market, as Array Masters often custom order from top-tier artisans, making such tools almost nonexistent in the market.

Of course, tools are still generally usable. If borrowed, they can be used.

But borrowing tools from a top-tier Array Master is likely a hundred times harder than inviting the Master themselves.

In the eyes of those Master-level individuals, their tools are more crucial than their lives.

Seeing An Xinmeng’s troubled expression, Lin Ye understood what was bothering her…

Some things can’t be bought with money.

Lin Ye didn’t think it was a big issue. If there’s truly no alternative, seeking help from Chen Daosheng to find a Master-level Array Master isn’t impossible.

Owing a favor isn’t too difficult to accept; choosing self-restriction just to avoid it isn’t worth it.

Some matters require putting in the necessary effort.

“There is actually another way. About three hundred miles from Shenzhen, there’s a dangerous zone with a school ruin. The principal is the famous ancestral Array Master Sun Tong…”

“If we can find his remains or his Array tools, it might solve the issue.”

An Xinmeng muttered softly.

This was the only solution she could think of for the tools.

“Sun Tong?” Lin Ye rested his chin, pondering.

He recognized the name; it was mentioned in textbooks. Many large settlement defensive Arrays were designed by him.

Moreover, he developed many basic Arrays.

Such a figure undeniably deserves the title of the founding ancestor of the Array Master profession.

But Lin Ye didn’t expect Sun Tong’s demise location to be around three hundred miles from Shenzhen!

Furthermore, as An Xinmeng implied, Sun Tong’s remains have yet to be found…

This already indicates the difficulty and danger.
