After sorting that out, Draco settled down near a workbench and began focusing on his Magical Engineering.
Currently, his level in the Tradeskill was 14, 15%.
He was just 6 levels off from entering the Elite Rank, which should yield him more functions and designs. 

The ones he had, while good, increased his Tradeskill level too slowly for his liking.
The main reason he got this far was thanks to his Unranked Advanced Spatial Creation Device giving him absurd Tradeskill experience with every craft. 

As such, Draco decided that it was what he would use to raise his level in Magical Engineering.
Void Stones were within the Inner Section of the Treasury aplenty, so much that even Draco could not use them all. 

When added with the ever-growing mountain of top-grade Aether Crystals in his possession, what did he have to fear? As such, he began a single-minded process of making Advanced Spatial Creation Devices like a robot. 

Even the most efficient modern assembly line would feel pressure if forced to compete with Draco at the moment.
He was used to making this device, and his efficiency rose slightly with every new craft. 

He even began skipping and remodeling stages of the creation that he discovered to be unnecessary or tedious.
He still got a functioning device out of it and a shorter time spent on it overall. 

This was normal though.
Humans were the deities of adaptation and efficiency.
The more we did something, the better we got at it and the more we were able to understand it.
Once we did, we could even optimize parts of whatever we were doing, saving time, cost, and energy with each upgrade. 

Draco was just going through this in a quicker process thanks to his Control and his talent for crafting.
Advanced Spatial Creation Devices were filling up his inventory in crazy amounts.
Even though his stacks were up to 999, it looked like he might fill it up in under a half a month at this rate! 

It wasn ’t until Draco saw that Mjolnir ’s batch was done that he came out of his trance.
He had many debuffs on his body for sleep, hunger, thirst, and poor hygiene, but he simply frowned and used subjective magic to dispel those debuffs. 

He checked the batch from Mjolnir and saw that the 500 at 32.5% success rate had been successful.
That greatly heartened him, since the cost in Source Origin had been quite steep for this stuff. 

It meant that after the next auto-craft queue, he wouldn ’t need to make any more of these sets and could focus on something else.
Putting that aside, he didn ’t bother to go out since his magic could negate the only reasons he had to anyway. 

As such, he went back to his grind.
Slowly but surely, his Tradeskill level in Magical Engineering increased stably.
While it seemed slow compared to his former explosive growth with Alchemy and Blacksmithing, the problem was that the exp he gained for making basic Devices was decimals points per craft, while he earned at least 2-4% per Advanced Spatial Creation Device. 

At his current crafting speed, he could make 100 in 24 hours, meaning that he had made about 150 or so currently.
He had currently hit level 18, 90%.
The goal was close and he could practically smell it. 

Draco continued crafting over the next 12 hours, not stopping for a minute.
He made an extra 50 Advanced Spatial Creation Deices, and despite more than 99% of them yielding 2% Tradeskill experience, he was able to net some with 3% and 4%, meaning that he was able to smoothly reach the Elite Rank! 

Proud of his hustle, he opened the Personal Workstation and checked the new recipes he had gained access to at the Elite Rank.

Hm, there were a lot of new names at the Basic Rank, but there were some designs he remembered from before that were now present at the Advanced Rank. 

He was naturally more interested in the new designs that appeared because they would also appear at the later Ranks in stronger forms more likely.
Besides, the cost of learning the recipes had skyrocketed from low-grade crystals to medium-grade. 

Even though most Magical Engineers on the main plane were stuck at the Amateur Rank with no hopes of ever climbing, those once in a millennium talents hidden away in corners of the world who actually managed to reach this stage would cry tears of blood.
