Okay, I've got it (purely off my memory, but still!) The difference is, yes, Tim already crafted a working example of a Qi-converted that can be plugged directly into the network. But that was him crafting while under the influence of his constituion. On the other hand, the devices he made around this chapter are made with his hands only. In other words, this is the first device that he himself made, without relying on the crutch of his constitution. That's as far as I remember the case being, so I hope it clarified everything!
Good point, just noticed it, will reread the relevant parts before replying to you again with an answer. I do remember there was some sort of a reason for it, but I'm way too deep into writing right now (as I saw this comment) to just pull it out of my sleeve.
I actually meant to reply a lot sooner, but totally forgot about it. This point is one of the main reasons why the world of the story has McRonalds or KentYucky Friend Chicken insted of MCD or KFC. Labor laws work differently in various countries so, as to not bog myself down within the legalities of US law, you are just safely assume that whenever those laws do not pop out, they simply do not apply. There's a country that I'm modeling the world of the story on, but even this aint US
'What's the difference if all that changes is the wording?'

It has both. And while there are times when its more action and times where its more crafting/slice of life/romance, Im doing my best to keep them balanced.
In other words, you acuse me of writing something purely because others are doing the same, leave at the first sign that maybe, JUST MAYBE, your prejudice has even the slightest sliver of a chance to be on a point, and even then, only in an extremely momentary and passing manner... And then act all high and mighty when you fall bait, hook and line for the bait and switch? Yeah, maybe you are right, maybe this novel is all about MC getting exposed, then kidnapped and then after kidnapping its just his diary of working in a sweatshop until his body gives away while Claire moves on and finds some beta cvck to replace MC by her side. That's exactly what happens and why you did a great job leaving, kudos for being such a foreseeing reader!

I know of at least one, extremely popular app that already makes it extremely easy to record/livestream yourself, be it with an unfortunate touch on the screen or an unfortunate key press. And Im willing to bet quite the money its not the only one. Now, extrapolate it through slightly futuristic setting, and its going to be all the easier. As for how the story develops, don't worry. I might meme a bit in chapters but the story itself was set long before I sat down to write this particular chapter. In other words, delivery doesnt affect the outcome, merely the perception of the process.

original God Of Crafting
4.61 Recently Updated
For five years, I've lived the life of a failure. Smashing my hands against the wooden target in hopes of entering a meditative state; a necessary step to becoming a cultivator. For five years, I've faced nothing but disappointment, looks of pity, and meager attempts at encouragement. But everything has to come to an end. An end, that for me, became a new beginning! Circuits, wires, and capacitors? Or maybe spirit powder, Spricur crystals, and Qi gathering formations? In a world where cultivation is, for most, merely a hobby and the worlds of mysticism and science are divided, I shall be the one to craft a bridge between the two! Why rely on ancient arrays to harness dense Qi? Isn't it easier to buy one of my converters, plug it into the wall, and be done with it? Is your gaming console malfunctioning, yet no tech shop can find the cause? Have you tried this the exorcising swatter 3.0? And you! Yes, you, the one whose reflection appears on the screen on your phone once you block it! Why would you buy static figurines if you can come to my shop... And get your hands on waifus that will actively flirt with you? Come all ye troubled souls, and allow this God to craft a solution to all your problems! ***Technical side of things*** Daily release: 2ch/day Sunday release: 3ch + accumulated bonus chapters from mass release goals listed below ////////////All Milestones are subject to change/////////////// For every 100 winwin unlocks: 2 bonus chapters For every 50 ps: 1 bonus chapter For every 3 reviews: 1 bonus chapter Supergifts: 3 bonus chapters Me having a good day: 1 bonus, not-mass release chapter a day on days it applies >.>211 Chs 5.4k Collections

My 7th Hero Summoning Brought Me Home To Fight The System?!
A hero summoning. To anyone aware of the term, it is a fairly straightforward deal. Get summoned, learn that now you are a hero of some sort, defeat the Big Bad Evil Guy, and save the day. All of that for the sake of returning home and living a peaceful life. If you are lucky, you might keep some of your abilities after going back, if not, you are at least left with an appreciation for the kind and peaceful world of today. But what if, once everything is said and done, rather than going back home... You are sent to save yet another world? And then another? And then again, and again and again... What if, after six entire lifetimes, when you grew accustomed to your new, bleak reality of ever-increasing hardship and challenges... You were to return home? And could you really say you've returned... or was it your home world that summoned you back? And what's with the system making its appearance now, six lifetimes after it should appear? *** 1 chapter per day (will try to upload them sometime around daily reset, either before or after it :3 25 Power stones - 1 bonus chapter a the next week 50 Power stones - 2 bonus chapters a next week 75 Power stones - 3 bonus chapters in the next week Up to 20 reviews, every 2 reviews - a bonus chapter (in other words, up to 10 chapters that I will try to do within a week, but might take up to two.)

Robbed of my golden-spoon life so that some king could prevent an inheritance dispute, I was forced to start over as a damned commoner, with nothing but a deadly wound in my chest?

Lord of the Rifts
It's been seven years since humanity figured out the portals. Seven years since the world's biggest corporations monopolized the technology and made billions by scouting and exploiting other habitable worlds. Seven years during which they threw close to seventy percent of the world's population into the unknown, hoping that at least some of them would reach livable dimensions. Seven years of thousands upon thousands going into rifts, only for few to come back... and usher in the riches offered by the corporations for the job well done. And today, along with his birthday and the beginning of his adulthood, it's time for Leo to gamble his life away and throw it down the probability well. //*******// - Chapter update rate: 1-2/day - Discord link: https://discord.gg/HJxY8xsPg4 (working to make it less dead) - Ko-fi: Ko-fi.com/motivatedsloth63 Chs 390 Collections

Chaos Prophet
4.51
It was supposed to be a quick, simple beta test of the new generation of the first VR. A day where both my random discovery and my unyielding efforts to develop it were supposed to bear fruit. Get in, find a way out, and get out. A mission that simple couldn't be hard, right? RIGHT?! So why did I end up as a powerless sacrifice in some stupid tournament, rigged for a certain noble to win? How come somehow surviving would lead me to be chased by a powerful noble, the heir of whom I fell in said tournament? And why is a damn imperial princess chasing after me like a rabid dog? Wait, isn't that a freaking saintess always standing by the princess' side?! *Takes a sip of the ale* If you think the above is too much, then let me tell you, o foolish traveler. I once thought so too. And then I learned, it was only a freaking prologue! For the powers that my presence stirred into action are far beyond anything I ever expected to encounter. Is this world even virtual? Am I even myself? And how come, this supposedly simple mission, led me to ask those questions? ***** Discord: https://discord.gg/pJTVGZZ More technical info: Author's Review86 Chs 604 Collections

One Last System
4.08
Scorned by the world he was born in, Arthur had no other choice but to learn how to deal with it. Yet, just as his hard work and dedication were about to pay off, the hate towards his origins brought him to his death. But that wasn't his fate. His future wasn't supposed to end with his head cracking against the edge of the stairs. His bloodline could not die as that would be against the wish of the universe itself. Thrown to another world, he found himself in a situation where the skills and craft he honed would be no longer of use. His patience, his creativity, his logical thinking were no longer in demand in a world where strength reigned supreme. Or was it? "My system is overpowered. I'm not shameless enough to deny it." "Scores of women and slaves all around? Those are the wishes of a naive kid, not mine." "Lower the price of those apples by a quarter and we will have a deal!" "Dear, stop, I cannot hold any longer!" Jump in and follow Arthur's adventures as he proves that even the illogical world of sword and cultivation has its own rules. Laws, that one can learn, laws, that Arthur sets off to use to his own advantage! **** This novel will have some comedic elements, but it won't be the core of the story. I also won't hold back any punches when it comes to dark humor, heavy elements or morally ambiguous aspects. If you are looking for a fckboy/edgelord/cliche, then his novel is not for you.

Leveling Up Wives In The Apocalypse

Mathew survived the entire two weeks of the apocalypse. A great score for someone blessed with brains over the brawn. Yet, even he fell after just fourteen days, giving his all to save the one person he cared for. But why does a death looks like watching himself from the third person perspective? Is this the purgatory to watch over his own shoulders at the mistakes he made? A punishment for Mathew's sins to repeat those mistakes over and over again? But wait, what are the three clocks in the corner of his vision, one of which only five minutes away from ticking out? And most of it all, why does the school looks like it did just a moment before the apocalypse began? ********** Discord link: https://discord.gg/PNGgcMr **********410 Chs 21.7k Collections

Bloodmancer: Hero of Ruin
4.8
To be a hero is a curse, not a blessing. It's a simple truth Leon learned in the most painful of ways. He heroically slaughtered all the enemies of his president. Heroically purged those who opposed his master. And heroically brought doom to those who cried under the boot of the world's dictator. Leon saw the death of his family; a result of the events he set in motion himself. He saw his beloved city turn into ruins, scorched by the radioactive flames of the nuke he set off. His title was as cheap as his life. And in the only act of rebellion he could find, he heroically put an end to his life... And the world he helped to destroy. 'All of this happened... But why am I hearing a self-entitled voice calling me a failure?' Leon couldn't help but ponder. 'No, that's not it...' he quickly corrected himself. 'How can I hear anything if I evaporated in the wake of the nuke I detonated myself?'105 Chs 1.9k Collections

Dungeons Online
4.15
"Hello, sir. Are you cashing out or leveling up?" Dungeons Online was the first game that cracked the system. Let nerds earn by nerding, and they will nerd forever. And Dungeons Online did just that. Noobs turned into middle-class workers. Pro-players turned into celebrities and multi-millionaires. And there was Tom. Likely, the only top ranker that lived off the scraps and cat-food. A courtesy of his father that went and disappeared, leaving Tom with just enough money to survive until his graduation. Until the day where the option of cashing out would appear. Dungeons Online. A game where developers never shared a single bit of information. A game where the death of one's avatar is permanent. A game that can turn a beggar into a lord just as quickly as turning a celebrity into nobody. But where does all this money comes from? How is it connected to the unnatural disaster that all governments across the world buried any information off? And how is this all connected to Tom's missing father?191 Chs 5.2k Collections

I do not keepo the detailed records of everything for this novel (like, what chapter comes with what advances) so I can't say for sure but from the top of my head, I believe this here is a typo, consistiency mistake. And as far as I remember, yes, you are absolutely right, it should be sixth stage, my bad!
"Tim helped me out with it," Claire revealed without holding anything back but rather shaking her head instead. "To be perfectly honest, I don't think I would break through to the fifth stage so soon if not for his help."
