Chapter 323 Harvest

Now that the guy is offline, there is no point in tossing his body anymore. Of course, as a means of retaliation for the other party's resistance, I couldn't just let him go, but I just didn't need to ask any more questions. First, use eternity to remove all the equipment on him, so that the other party will find that all the equipment on him is gone when he goes online next time. Considering the price of his equipment, he will definitely cry. Of course, stealing equipment is just one of the methods of revenge. Next, I stuffed him with an expired elixir.

If a player is forced offline and his body is forcibly left behind because he is in a combat state, the opponent will act like a vegetative state. Although he has life characteristics, he will not react in any way. In this case, it was too easy to put an elixir in the other person's mouth, so I completed my revenge plan very simply. The next time that guy comes online, you will find that not only is all his equipment gone, but you will also find that his level has directly changed to level 341, which is not even as high as the alt level of most players.

After tossing this guy, of course I couldn't save him and leave him here like this. Finally, I added a soul-chasing arrow to kill him completely. Although the expired elixir will cause a person to be downgraded, it is not a poison and cannot cause the player's death, so even if the level is reduced to level 341, his body is still here. The last soul-chasing arrow I added can cause the player to lose two levels directly when he dies. After that, if he fails to resurrect, he will lose two levels. If he succeeds in resurrecting, he will also lose two levels, which is one level more than the normal way of death. In this way, when he goes online next time, his highest level will be level 339, maybe even level 338. Anyway, he will definitely fall into the team of new players.

After this guy here was killed, our attention shifted to the door that blocked them before. There are so many locks on this door, which shows that what is behind it must be very important. Because of this, I have no intention of cracking these locks. Gold Coin does have the lock-picking skill, but she hasn't practiced it much since joining our guild. After all, after obtaining the national weapon, the focus of gold coins has shifted. Skills such as lock picking are far less useful to her than her main skills, so she didn't practice them much later.

In fact, even if the skill level of gold coins is high enough. I wouldn't let her pick the locks either. After all, it would take more than a minute for them to unlock all the locks here. No matter how high the gold coin unlocking skills are, it can't be faster than someone who knows the password and carries the key, right? In terms of the efficiency of general lock-picking skills, it would take at least an hour to open these locks with gold coins before we can hope to open them all. However, I think since we have so many masters here, it is faster to crack them directly with brute force.

In fact, dismantling the door is also a technical job. Don't think that you can just use brute force to break open the entire door. It is true that ordinary doors can be smashed with brute force. But the problem is that the door in front of me doesn't look like an ordinary door. Thinking about that terrifying mechanism lock, how could the strength of this thing itself be weak? so. To destroy this kind of door, brute force alone is not enough. You must find its key points and then destroy them. This way, you can use the least force to produce the maximum destructive power, and at the same time, you can ensure that the door will be destroyed without damaging the back. s things.

In fact, this last point is the most critical. What exactly is behind this door is still unknown, but according to my speculation, it will most likely be a warehouse or something. The reason why we traced it here is because we suspected that some of these Korean guilds had taken over weapons of mass destruction, and judging from the current situation. We probably won the bid the first time. Now that this guild has such a secret place, the possibility that they are involved in the transfer of weapons of mass destruction is very high. And if there is a temporary storage warehouse for that kind of weapons behind this gate, then if we accidentally touch those weapons of mass destruction and cause them to explode when we open the door, the result will be quite tragic.

Gold coins and I don't have much of a problem. For us, death is just a drop in level, and we can just practice it again, no big problem. But the problem is that both Pandora and Poseidon are with us, so this is more troublesome. The gods are all disposable beings. To hang up is to really hang up. Among the protoss in our guild so far, except for Vina who can be resurrected infinitely like players due to special reasons, the others are in the state of normal protoss, that is, they are really dead when they die.

The current protoss in our guild were all recruited with great effort. If they die, there is no way to replenish them, and the protoss are different from ordinary units. What the ordinary army supplements is quantity. But every individual of the Gods is a special being. Even if one dies and another is added, the effect will be different from the original. Therefore, we are not willing to sacrifice the lives of the guild gods easily. It is really not worth taking the risk.

After thinking about it carefully, we started to officially dismantle the door. Although this door was built in an exaggerated way, the thick door latch and all were exposed to the outside just because it was exaggerated. This gives me an accurate target. With these goals in place, it's actually pretty easy to destroy the gate.

To ordinary people, this kind of magically reinforced metal gate can basically be described as indestructible. After all, the defense of this kind of thing is almost as good as a city wall. Without a weapon of the same level as a battering ram, it would be very difficult to destroy such a door with the weapons in the player's hands alone. However, I am different from other people. I have eternity in my hands. Eternity's own law attribute is cutting, and the effect derived from this cutting law is to break magic and defense. Any magic defense will be useless in front of it, and any solid material will be like dregs in front of it.

I changed Eternity into a form that was easier to use, then aligned it with the edge of one of the fixing bolts on the side of the door and inserted it in. Then I pulled hard and I just felt a normal resistance and succeeded. Cut off that latch. Unfortunately, the door is round, and the fixing bolts are densely arranged around the door, so it is useless to cut off one fixing bolt. All these fixing bolts must be removed to open the door. Loss of support.

Although the door latch is a little too long, fortunately, Yongheng is strong enough. It took me more than three minutes to cut off the ring of fixing bolts, then inserted Yongheng inside the door and allowed it to deform and jam the door panel, and then one of us Poseidon, who is the most powerful, is responsible for pulling back.

Although Poseidon is actually a mermaid and looks soft and weak, he is the King of the Sea after all, and his power is not comparable to that of ordinary people. With her tug, the door without any fixed bolts was forcibly pulled out of the wall with an unpleasant sound of metal friction.

When the gate was completely dismantled, we discovered that the thickness of the gate was actually as high as five meters. And it's not actually one piece, but divided into four pieces. Before, it was just because the door was closed so tightly that we didn't realize that the door was not actually a single piece. But it’s right to think about it. If such a thick door were to be in one piece, its dead weight might cause the door bolt to collapse, so they could only design the door into multiple parts. In this way, the pressure is shared so that the door latch will not disintegrate.

After opening the door, we quickly passed through the big hole in the door and got into the space behind the door.

This place is indeed a warehouse as we guessed, and the things inside are also very strange. In fact, the area of ​​this warehouse is several times larger than imagined. The amount of supplies inside was, in turn, much less than we expected.

In fact, there are a total of three piles of things placed in this huge room. One of the piles of things is in the corner of the room, where there is an altar-like stone platform, surrounded by an energy barrier, which is obviously some kind of anti-theft or protective measure. Within this energy barrier, there is a display platform that is about the same size as a lecture platform, and on this display platform is something like a sundial.

The main part of this thing is a round stone slab, with a thickness of about five centimeters and a diameter of about forty centimeters. All visible places on the surface are covered with dense magic patterns, and because many magic pattern nodes have Artificially carved magic crystals were installed. So it can be concluded that this is a very powerful magic circle.

In addition to the main body of the stone slab, there is also a golden metal rod in the center of the stone slab. This shape is really similar to the sundial in ancient my country that relied on sunlight to position time. Of course, because the thing in front of you is a magic item, the metal rod on it is not in the shape of an ordinary metal rod, but has dense textures on its surface like a stone slab. The only difference is that the lines on the metal rod are not incised, but raised in relief.

Although we can see this sundial-like thing and know that it is a very important thing, due to the existence of the energy barrier, apart from seeing its appearance, we have no sense of it at all. That energy barrier obviously blocks all information thought of as visible light.

In this warehouse, except for the sundial-like thing with unknown function. There are two more piles. One of them is a magical instrument. The structure of this thing is very complicated. At first glance, it looks like a machine tool, and judging from its size, it doesn't look like something that can be moved at will.

This thing was placed in the center of the room, without any defensive facilities around it. I guess it may be because the thing itself is not dangerous when it is not activated, and it doesn't seem like it can be stolen by one or two people. . If you want to carry this kind of thing without summoning a large monster. Then it would have to be carried by dozens of people. Anyway, a few people can't hope to move this thing.

Finally, at the corner on the other side of the room, there was a pile of black stones with nothing special at all. These stones have neither sparkle nor magical fluctuations, and there is nothing special about them other than being relatively dark. However, there are actually dozens of such stones piled up in this room, and it seems that these stones are not natural, but artificially excavated, because the surfaces of these stones all have traces of tool carvings, and they are very obvious. .

Obviously, this black stone is some kind of mineral or special material, but I don't know what it is used for yet.

"There are only so many things?" Jin Coin felt as if he had been deceived after seeing the empty room.

Pandora quickly walked to the pile of stones, then picked up a piece and put it under her nose and smelled it. Then she suddenly threw the stone into the air, then raised her hand and shot out a beam of light, instantly shattering the stone. As the stone shattered, the temperature of the surrounding air began to plummet, and at the same time I felt a gloomy energy growing wildly.

"It's true." Pandora said after those gloomy energies appeared: "These stones are mother minerals."

"Mother of mine?" I looked at the stones in surprise and asked, "What kind of mother of mine is this? Why are there so many of them?"

The so-called Mother Mine is actually a fictional item in the game and does not exist in reality. In the game, most types of underground minerals have Mother Minerals, but Mother Minerals do not appear in every mining area. These mother minerals themselves may have little use value, but as long as they are placed in a suitable environment, the mother minerals can continue to produce corresponding mineral deposits. For example, the white magic spar that we use most exists in the mother ore. If you can find a piece of white magic spar and bury it in the soil. It won't take long to dig up this area, and you will find a lot of white magic crystals nearby.

This kind of substance that can continuously generate minerals is called mother ore, and because they can produce ores, their value can be said to be very exaggerated. Of course, this specific value also depends on the specific mine being produced. For example, iron ore mother ore and copper ore mother ore will definitely not be too valuable. After all, there are a lot of iron ore and copper ore in the game. The only difference is the difficulty of mining, there is no need to worry about the reserves. Precisely because reserves are not a problem. Therefore, the mother ore of these two kinds of ores can be said to be almost worthless. Although some people will want it if you find it, they will definitely not sell for a sky-high price. But on the other hand, if you get the mother ore of some kind of super mineral, the situation is different. Think about it, the mother ore of a piece of colorful magic crystal may be mithril or gold crystal. There is no price for these mother ores at all. People who own it will never sell it, and people who see it will not buy it, but will directly consider whether to grab it. Because no one will sell this thing at all, so if you want it, you can only grab it. After all, based on the value of these three rare minerals, the mother ore of these three minerals can almost be said to be a money printing machine. You said that if you had a money printing press that could legally print money, would you consider selling it? No matter how much the other party pays, you can just print it yourself. Why sell it?

Precisely because the price difference of mother ore is very scary, I didn't show too much excitement for the time being. Instead, he looked at Pandora and asked, "What kind of ore mother is this?" After all, the difference in value of the ore mother is very large.

Pandora turned to look at me with dull eyes, and after being stunned for a while, she said: "The Soul Stone. This is the mother mine of the Soul Stone!"

"The mother of the soul stone?" I almost yelled.

The Soul Stone is a special ore that can be used instead of black crystal to a certain extent. Of course, compared with the black crystal, which has a very good output, the difference in the amount of this soul stone is really too small. However, considering that most of the functions of this thing are duplicated with the black crystal. So most people don't need this kind of thing. However, this soul stone has an ability that is unmatched by black crystal, that is, it can perfectly replace the body and become the residence of the soul.

When a person is alive, his soul will be attached to the body, and once he dies, the soul will leave the body. There are many things that the soul can cling to. In fact, it should be said that there are very few things that the soul cannot cling to. But being able to attach and being able to attach perfectly are two different concepts.

In fact, the black crystal has also become a temporary carrier of the soul, but this is still not a perfect attachment. The so-called perfect attachment means that when a soul is attached to something, it can still grow. This is perfect attachment.

After most substances are attached by souls, the strength of the substance itself will change. It usually becomes stronger and stronger, and its various attributes become stronger and stronger. However, in this process, the soul attached to this thing will continue to consume its own energy. If the soul has a way to absorb energy, it will be okay. If the soul is slightly weaker, it may not take long to be automatically digested by this substance. . This kind of attachment is actually no different from suicide.

Black crystal is one of the better substances that can be attached. It will not absorb the energy of the soul attached to itself, but can provide a small amount of energy supplement for the soul. This is also the reason why I often use black crystal powder to trade with undead creatures, because black crystal powder is a tonic for them.

However, even black crystal powder can only replenish soul energy in a small amount. It is absolutely impossible to make the soul grow. Of course, this only means that the soul cannot grow because of the black crystal. If it is a powerful soul, even if it is attached to something that cannot be attached, it can actually grow. It is just a matter of difficulty.

However, the Soul Stone is different. As long as it is a soul, even if it has no ability at all, as long as it is stationed in this soul stone, it can automatically grow, and the speed is quite fast. in addition. The Soul Stone can also shield external attacks against the soul. That is to say, if a soul is hiding inside the Soul Stone, you cannot use soul-type spells to damage it before you break the Soul Stone. Soul.

The above abilities determine that this kind of thing is simply a dream material for undead creatures, but the output of this thing is almost zero. So far, no one has ever discovered a formal vein of soul stone, and only three or five pieces can be found at most each time. It can't be considered a mineral vein at all. But, as everyone knows. Our guild is actually a guild mainly composed of undead creatures. Most of the gods in our guild are from the Hades system. Almost one-third of the players in this guild are dark professions, and the remaining messy professions and common attribute categories share the remaining two-thirds. Also, there are a lot of undead creatures among the NPC troops in our guild. Finally, I also work part-time as the King of Hell, and the name of our guild's affiliation in Heaven is "The Eleventh Palace of Hell in the Underworld of Heaven".

It can be seen from the above information that our guild is actually very dark-based, so things like soul stones are a very important material for us, and they are not only very useful. And the demand is very high.

In fact, the greatest use of the Soul Stone is not undead creatures, but constructed creatures.

The characteristic of undead creatures is that their souls can exist independently, just like skeleton soldiers. This is almost the lowest level of bad street soldiers among undead creatures. However, even for skeleton soldiers, as long as you have psychic vision, you will find that their soul fire will float out of the skull cavity after breaking open their skull. Rather than dissipating directly. Of course, this premise is that you don't use too much force. After all, the skeleton soldier's level is very low. If you use your ultimate move to hit it, no matter how strong the soul is, it will fall apart.

Since even low-level undead creatures like skeleton soldiers can have the ability of independent soul existence, you can imagine it. Although undead creatures need soul stones, it is not a problem if they don't have them. However, constructed creatures are different. For example, the mobile angels in our guild do not use soul stones for their artificial souls. Therefore, the soul center of the mobile angels cannot defend against soul spells and must rely on the protective magic on the shell to resist soul attacks. On the other hand, the mobile angel's soul center actually needs to be continuously charged. Otherwise, because the soul itself will be consumed by the attached matter, these artificial souls will quickly dissipate without energy replenishment. Of course, this problem can be avoided by using black crystal to make an artificial soul center. However, the physical properties of black crystal are slightly worse. Although it is very hard, it is prone to bursting when attacked by magic, so this kind of thing cannot be used. To make a mobile angel.

Assuming that our guild can possess a large number of soul stones, then our mobile angels can directly replace the core of soul stone production. If this is the case, our artificial souls will make great progress in all aspects of capabilities, and the biggest benefit will be that our artificial souls will truly have the ability to learn and grow from now on. If necessary, we can even teach these mobile angels How to practice magic. Therefore, the meaning of the Soul Stone to our guild is very extraordinary.

"Why does this Korean guild have so many soul stone ores?" Jin Coin said looking at the pile of black, inconspicuous stones.

"I don't know why they have so many Soul Stone Ore Mothers, but I think it must have something to do with the golems we dismantled before."

Hearing this explanation, the gold coin also nodded and said: "If the other party is also experimenting with golem making technology, then it is understandable to have such a thing. But it is understandable to find the soul stone, and to get so many soul stone mines Mom is really...are these guys just lucky?"

"Don't worry about the origins of those things. Let's see what these two things are first." Poseidon reminded us.

Gold Coin, Pandora, and I quickly moved to the periphery of the sundial-like thing over there and began to study how to open the protective shield. As for the giant equipment next to it... To be honest, it's useless to look at it. We don't study magic machinery here at all, and we don't know anything about this device at all. Although Poseidon and Pandora's magic theories may be very good, to be honest, I don't think they have any research on magical mechanical energy. They themselves obviously knew about this problem, so they didn't even look at the thing. They went directly to study the strange magic array. Compared to the magic machine, this thing is at least within their knowledge.

There were two protoss plus me and gold coins, and the protective shield only lasted for less than ten seconds before it was destroyed. After breaking the protective shield, the thing inside was completely exposed to us.

to be honest. The function of the protective cover may be mainly to prevent theft, not to prevent outsiders from observing this thing, so no abnormal phenomena occurred after it was broken open. That thing still stopped there quietly as before, without even a trace of magic power fluctuation. It felt almost like an ordinary object. However, the dense lines on the surface of this thing really don’t look like ordinary items.

"What the hell is this?" Gold Coin could only look up helplessly and ask us after circling this thing for a few times. She is a Taoist priest. If you ask her to draw a talisman or something, she will definitely be able to do it. But the magic circle won't work. These are completely two systems, just like English and Chinese. Although they are both literature, the writing is different. No matter how awesome the Chinese master is, he cannot understand English and cannot read English prose!

Compared with gold coins, Pandora and Poseidon are much more professional. After the two of them stared at the thing carefully for a while, Poseidon said first: "First of all, I can make sure that this is not a random pattern drawn on it. This is a real magic circle with activation ability."

Pandora also followed: "Indeed, I just simulated a small part of the texture I saw, which seems to be used to transmit magic power. It just feels that the way of drawing is a bit strange. Also, this thing may use some kind of multi-layer infiltration Carving technology, the magic circle is not just the surface layer, there seems to be an internal structure underneath."

"Is it so complicated?"

"It's not a complicated problem. It's just that the density of this thing is too high. The magic patterns inside are layered one on top of another. We can only build a small piece of the structure. The parts that are too complex cannot be simulated at all, so we have to figure it out. Full functionality may take a very long time.”

"Then don't waste time here. Someone can quickly interpret this thing after we go back. But before that, can you two tell me whether this thing can move?"

Pandora said: "There should be no problem, but it's best not to touch the metal rod. I found the starting circuit on it. It may be a trigger or something."

"Then what if I destroy this metal rod?"

Poseidon said: "It's best not to. We're not sure about the specific structure of this thing, so it might be fine if it's destroyed, but it might cause some kind of reaction."

The gold coin suddenly reminded me: "Boss, what if this thing is a weapon of mass destruction like an atomic bomb? If this thing can be detonated remotely. If you take it back to Essinger, you are not giving it to yourself. Are you looking for trouble yourself?"

Sure enough, if there are many people, there will be all kinds of strange ideas, and it will be easier to fill in some omissions. Pandora and I were only thinking about how to study this thing clearly before, and completely forgot that there was such a thing. If this is really a remote-controlled bomb as the gold coin said, and it's at the level of a nuclear bomb, then wouldn't I become the biggest fool in the world by bringing this thing back to my guild?

"Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I would really do something stupid!" I thought for a while and said, "It is too dangerous to study this thing in Essinger. I think it is necessary to catch the power of foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

"Don't worry about this." I said: "Now Pandora and Poseidon, you go first and return directly to the guild. I will wait for you to teleport away before taking this thing, so as not to explode if I touch it. That would be troublesome!”

Pandora and Poseidon are not the kind of fools and bold people who are not afraid of death, so they immediately started the teleportation process after hearing my words. After all, there is no danger at the scene, and there is no use for them to stay. After they both teleported away, I carefully picked up the thing from the display stand. It turned out that simply picking up the thing would not cause an explosion.

After picking up this thing, I opened the door of the earth directly, then walked in with the thing in my hands. What I mean by using the power of foreign aid is actually the Gate of the Earth.

The space inside the Gate of the Earth is the private space of Mother Earth. It can be said that this is the domain of Mother Earth. Here, all laws are formulated by Mother Earth. Do the laws of other places in the game apply in this space? Useful, it all depends on whether Mother Earth wants this law to take effect. Although the thing I'm holding is probably a super bomb as powerful as a nuclear bomb, on Mother Earth's territory, whether it can explode depends entirely on whether Mother Earth is willing to let it explode. According to the habits of Mother Earth, she would never let this thing explode in her back garden. Therefore, the moment this thing enters the Gate of the Earth, it actually means that this thing loses its ability to explode. When we study this thing in such a safe environment, we don’t have to worry about explosions. Anyway, even if we really trigger a detonation switch or something like that, Mother Earth will suppress this thing so that it cannot explode, or after the explosion The power of the explosion is compressed together and cannot spread.

After placing this thing inside the Gate of the Earth, I did not leave immediately. Instead, I ran to see Mother Earth and told her about the situation of this thing. Although Mother Earth should actually have understood this thing thoroughly the moment I came in with this thing. But as a guest, I have to say hello to the host. After all, this is someone else's territory. It's outrageous for me to come in with a bomb and not say hello to them.

Sure enough, Mother Earth no longer cares whether I brought a bomb in, because to her, this kind of thing poses no threat at all and cannot even harm a blade of grass here. Therefore, Mother Earth simply nodded and dismissed me, not caring about this matter at all.

Mother Earth didn't hold her accountable, so I immediately thanked her politely and ran out. After returning outside, I brought the huge machine into the gate of the earth. After all, this thing is also an unknown item, and it is obviously not as safe as here in Fenglong Space.

After emptying everything here, Gold Coin and I didn't stay here anymore. Since their president has been offline, everyone else should have been notified. I can't find any clues when I search now, so I might as well do it first. Let’s study these things we’ve discovered clearly.

Because I was very anxious to figure out the purpose of these things, I teleported back directly and quickly returned to Essinger through the newly established transnational teleportation array. The gold coins didn't go with me. Instead, she stayed to continue investigating what conspiracy the Russian guild and Ghost Hand Nobunaga were planning in South Korea. Of course, Pandora and Poseidon still had to continue to assist her. Without my presence, gold coins alone cannot come and go freely among the enemies, and it would be troublesome if they were trapped.

The matters on the Korean side were handed over for the time being, and I quickly reached the New World Floating Island through the teleportation array on Essinger's side. At least 80% of the guild's research capabilities are concentrated here. Research institutions in other places are only responsible for data backup and practical conversion of peripheral technologies, and are not responsible for main research.

"Where are Noreen, Jiaha... where are they? Where have they gone?"

"Here we are. President, why are you shouting so loudly? We are not deaf!" Jiaha, who only had a huge brain, walked out of a room inside, and Steel Jiaha was right next to him. At the same time, I looked at When we arrived at Noreen, she seemed to be studying something. She was still holding a small thing in her hand and moving it around.

I didn't have time to explain anything to them, but I saw these three people arriving. Immediately said: "You put your work aside first and find a few researchers who you think have good skills and have certain attainments in magic circles and soul science. It's best to bring Jibie with you."

"Where are we going?" Norin obviously didn't want to give up the thing in her hand, so she said directly: "If you need to study something, just bring it here. Why do you want us to go there? The equipment here is only It’s the most comprehensive! All that can be taken away are portable devices, and the research results are definitely not as good as the large-scale equipment here!”

"I also know that research is more efficient here, but the thing studied this time is a bit special. It may be a bomb, and the power is too great. If it explodes, the entire floating island may be blown to pieces, so I really I dare not let you study it here. Besides, your own lives are too important to take risks. I have a place that is absolutely safe and can suppress the explosive effect of that thing. You can rest assured to study it without worrying about explosions."

"Since that's the case, let's take a trip and have a look!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
