Chapter 33: Scraping Is a Science

"Are you a city tree?"

The man nodded. "I am an alienated advanced city tree, so I can transform into a human form."

"That's better, it's more convenient. Come on, take me to see if there's anything worth keeping. We're going to move."

"Yes new owner."

City Tree said he was going to lead the way, so I quickly stopped him. "Are you just running around like this?"

He looked down at himself. "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"I am a city tree. Even if I transform into a human form, I am still a tree. I am not afraid of the cold."

"We don't wear clothes just to keep warm, we wear clothes to cover our bodies!"

"Why cover your body?"

I'm confused, how to explain this! "Anyway, you just know that human men and women cannot see each other's bodies."

"I'm not human!"

"Forget it! I can't tell you. Anyway, you will have to wear clothes when you become like this. Just consider it my order."

"Since the master has given the order, I will put it on." He waved quickly, and naturally he had an extra set of clothes on his body. "Okay, let's go."

Looking better now, I let go of the rose and followed him out. "Do you have a name?"

"My master used to always call me the Tree of Time."

"The Tree of Time? The big tree of time. What a strange name, but since it has a name, let's call it that."

"Thank you, master. I have always liked this name. This can be regarded as the memory that the first master gave me!"

"Is that mage nice to you?"

"Yes, the first master has no friends. I am the only intelligent creature in the temple. He tells me everything he wants. Unfortunately, human lifespan is too short!"

"Don't be so sad. Although human life is short, many valuable things can be created and left behind in this short life. Now let us see what your first master left behind."

"This way."

After walking for a while, we came to an equally huge room. It was very messy, with many things piled up in disorder. It's obviously a studio, but it looks more like a handicraft workshop. There are a large number of books on a row of bookshelves on the left side of the room. They are the only relatively neat things in the room. The tree of time introduced: "These are the experimental materials and some experimental notes compiled by the master."

The great magician's research notes? That’s good stuff! I happily ran to the bookshelf, reached out and picked up a book, wanting to take it out and read it. However, as soon as my hand touched the book, I exerted my strength but did not feel the expected resistance. I only felt that my grasp was empty. The book suddenly turned into a pile of gray powder, and there was a layer of fine powder on my hands and the stone bookshelf.

The Tree of Time said: "These notes are thousands of years old. Paper without any treatment cannot be preserved for such a long time!"

I ran to an oversized workbench in the middle of the room. At this time, there were a large number of research instruments placed messily on the workbench. The tree of time explained: "This is the workbench of the previous owner. He did not let me 'tamper' with his research equipment, so every time I commanded the golem to clean it, I always put things back in their place after cleaning. The equipment you see now is how it was when the owner left thousands of years ago, but because it is cleaned every day, there is no dust.”

I looked at a crystal vessel that looked like an Erlenmeyer flask. There was a layer of pink crystals inside the colorless vessel. When I picked up this vessel, the Tree of Time continued: "There used to be a red solution in it, but it has dried up long ago, and even the crystals inside have changed from blood red to It’s pink!”

After putting down the bottle, I found another metal stand. There was something like a test tube on it. There was a piece of green stuff inside, which looked like dried bark, but the color was wrong.

"That was originally a green phosphorus bloodworm, but it has been dried for too long!"

There was a bit of black and gray powder in a silver plate next to it. The tree of time explained again: "It was originally a pile of sulfur. It took too long, and the silver and sulfur slowly reacted into black. Silver sulfide powder!”

I watched a lot of things next, and basically all of them turned into weird things because they took too long. I also found a pile of bones in the corner of the room. They looked like animal bones like dogs, but they didn't look very old. The Tree of Time explained: "This is the owner's pet Sidobi. It is a small monster with a long life. It has low intelligence but is quite cute. I have been taking care of it since the owner left, but it also arrived 100 years ago. The upper limit of life span is old age and death.”

"It seems like you have all antiques here!"

"It's been thousands of years, there's nothing we can do!"

"What is this?" Rose suddenly discovered a new world.

I walked over and took a look. It seemed to be a door, but the door panel was made of metal.

The tree of time said: "This is the master's achievement display room. The master does not allow me to enter, not even the devil. My monitoring range does not include this room, so I don't know what is in the room until now."

"Aren't you curious after such a long time?"

"I'm curious, but haven't you heard that curiosity kills the cat?"

"Khan! You know this too!" I looked at the door again, "Do you know how to open it?"

"I know. There is a switch next to the door, which can be opened with the Star Ring."

I searched for it, and sure enough I found the same groove as the ring. After putting the ring in the groove and turning it, the door did make a click, but then there was a creaking sound, and then suddenly a lot of smoke came out from the frame around the door.

"what happened?"

Rose replied on behalf of the Tree of Time: "You don't need to look at it to know that it took too long. This door is obviously a retractable door that separates to both sides. Because it has not been opened for a long time, the door gaps on both sides have been pressed together for a long time and have fused into It’s a whole!”

The phenomenon of diffusion also exists in solids, but the speed is much slower. The two steel gates have been together for a long time, and the steel on both sides has penetrated each other, and finally connected into a steel plate. It is of course impossible to open it now!

"Looks like the door is about to be demolished again!" I took out Eternity, and in an instant Eternity turned into a battle axe. Of course, heavy weapons are popular for breaking down doors. This gate was not very tight, and it was broken out of shape after a few hits. After putting away the weapon and making some repairs, there was an obvious gap in the door. He put his hands into the gap and pulled hard on both sides. The door was twisted and turned into a passage. "Okay. Huh? Why is it so dark here? Wow! What does this smell like? Ugh!..."

As soon as the door was opened, a stench that I had never smelled before hit my face, and it almost knocked me away! Rose couldn't take a breath, her face was red and she ran outside to gasp for air. When I was fighting zombies in the dark canyon before, I thought the smell of rotting zombies was disgusting enough. This time I smelled this smell and realized that the stronger among the stronger, the stronger in the hand, the higher the mountain. Compared with the air here, the air full of rotting corpses in the Dark Canyon can be considered fresh.

The Tree of Time explained: "This place has not been opened for thousands of years, and there is no ventilation equipment inside. It is normal for the smell to be strong. Please wait for a while, and I will change the air here before you come in."

"Yeah, yeah!" I quickly covered my nose and ran to the distance to breathe heavily. The miasma outside is nothing compared to this place.

Rose leaned against me and said, "This smell is too horrible, even biochemical poison gas smells better than this!"

I comforted her and said, "You haven't smelled the stench of the anti-riot bombs used by the Longyuan anti-riot troops! The smell is worse than this. It can make you vomit out all your overnight meals in 10 seconds. I accidentally inhaled it before. I ate a little, and ended up not eating for three days, and I felt like vomiting when I saw food.”

"Then it should be given to a weight loss center to help treat obesity. Just smoke a little when you want to eat."

"That's not possible. Anyone who smokes too much needs to consider how to solve the problem of anorexia."

"Master, it's been solved." The Tree of Time shouted from behind.

I took Rose and walked back to the room. The air had indeed been changed, but there was still a strong smell, but fortunately it was still acceptable. This room is actually quite big, but now it seems a little cramped with a lot of messy things.

"Can these things still be used?" Rose was dumbfounded looking at such a large pile of garbage-like things.

"This...seems like it can't be used!"

The Tree of Time also said: "This place has not been opened for a long time, and the things inside have not been maintained, so I am not sure whether it can still be used!"

I picked up a stick-like object from the ground and blew in hard. The flying ash almost choked me to death. "Ahem! I don't think there's a hurry anyway, so let's clean it first! You can't even see it like this!"

"No problem, I'll have the demons clean it up right away."

I took Rose to check the things outside first. Several non-combat golems quickly entered the room and started cleaning. Soon even the laboratory outside could no longer accommodate anyone, so we simply hid in the corridor. Although this place is completely enclosed, dust is pervasive. The dust accumulated in the past few years is more than an inch thick. The golems were relatively fast, and the room was almost cleaned in a short time.

When we returned to the room again, the place had completely changed. I really admire the efficiency of these puppets. Rose said excitedly: "It would be great if Essinger could also use this kind of demon."

"Don't even think about it! This thing must be very difficult to build, and the Tree of Time has already said that construction materials are difficult to obtain. Even if we have the ability to produce it, it will definitely be a limited-production military model. It is impossible to replace even the town services with magic. That’s too luxurious!”

"I just want to think about it!"

The Tree of Time poured cold water on the two of us and said: "I'm afraid you can't even make one, because the core control parts of the golem require a special synthetic material. Not to mention that the formula for this material is only available to my predecessor. The master alone knows that even if you get the formula, you still need three rare raw materials to make this synthetic material. These three raw materials are all rare substances that are more difficult to obtain than the red-streaked magic crystal, let alone the third. It’s very rare to get one kind. Otherwise, the owner wouldn’t have only built a few golems. Compared with those three materials, even red-striped magic crystals can be considered a rich mine!”

"Isn't it so rare?" I didn't quite believe it.

Rose was not convinced and said: "We are not just two people, we are the leader of a huge guild, with over 10,000 adventurer members and millions of guild weapons under our control. There are also a lot of gods who have friendship with us. Even the Earth Mother Goddess your master pretends to be is an acquaintance of ours, so there’s nothing we can’t do, right?”

"Although you say so, I still believe that it is difficult for you to get these things. The master also had to beg a lot to get such a small amount. When the master was building the core control components, he did not even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of being blown away. When he vented his breath, he blew the poor little piece of material away and couldn't find it. I remember one time the owner accidentally blew out a small piece of it while he was out of breath, and he ended up lying on the ground looking for it for a week before he found the piece."

"It's too exaggerated! Is it angel tears or demon blood that is so difficult to deal with?"

"The first one is the crystallization of the Light God's Curse. The second one is the tears of the ancestor of vampires. The third one is the elixir powder in the body of the Eastern mythical beast Qilin."

"It sounds strange. We don't understand many things. Can you tell me what the difficulty is?"

"The God of Light Spell is a forbidden spell used by the upper-level angels of the Light God Clan. It is absolutely forbidden. To activate this spell, 12 upper-level angels need to use it at the same time, and after use, the 12 angels will die together. After this spell is completed, it will be terrifying. Divine Punishment is said to be able to summon the power of the Founding God. The souls of the destroyed enemies will automatically gather to form a crystal. This crystal is the Light God Curse Crystal. Only one golem can be produced for every 100,000 soul crystals. Do you think the material is difficult to work with?"

"There are more people. Even 100,000 is not impossible. But if you need 12 superior angels, that's a bit exaggerated. It seems that the total number of superior angels of the Light God Clan is not enough. Most of them are gone now, fool. Just use it! What about the other two?"

"The original vampire is a hybrid of an angel and a demon."

"Isn't that the Demon Clan?"

"Yes, it is the Demon Clan. She is the ancestor of all vampires, the first vampire in the world. She is said to have the ability to be close to the lower founding gods. Neither the light gods nor the dark gods are her opponents. And it is said that she is cold-blooded, cruel and murderous. 'Sex', what do you think of her tears? And the most critical problem is that we don't even know where she is now."

Rose whispered on the side: "Ziri, why do I feel like he is talking about Wei Na?"

"I feel so too!"

"Vina?" City Tree shook his head. "I don't know what the name of this ancestor of vampires is, but I heard from the previous owner that she is female. Anyway, it's very difficult to deal with."

I looked at the ceiling and said, "Vina is so murderous? It doesn't seem like that! But that crazy woman is quite scary! But it's probably not an easy thing to make her cry, but there's always a way."

City Tree said: "Even if you know this ancestor of vampires, you can get her tears and there are two other materials."

"That's right! You haven't talked about the last material yet?"

"The last material, Kirin elixir powder, is also relatively difficult. Kirin is actually a kind of monster in the East, but it is very powerful and kind-hearted and often helps humans, so it is called a mythical beast. Inner elixir is something that monsters all have. It belongs to the source of their power. This elixir powder is the powder after crushing the inner elixir."

"I rely on Qilin's inner elixir powder. That thing is more difficult to get than dragon tendon. Why do I need that thing for the parts of this demon doll?"

"How do I know? Anyway, the result of the previous master's research is that this thing is needed."

Rose said in frustration: "If we really need what the Tree of Time said, we really can't get it together!"

"Doesn't that mean that my golem plan is going to go bankrupt?"

The Tree of Time comforted me: "Actually, you can make a golem without these things, but the quality of the finished product is just...!"

"Quality? Could it be said that it is relatively fragile?"

"No, no, no! There is no problem in terms of combat effectiveness, but this...!" The Tree of Time pointed at his head and shook his finger.

"What do you mean? Does it mean that the intelligence of golems built without these things is very low?"

The Tree of Time said helplessly: "It's okay if the intelligence is low. The worst thing is to find an intelligent creature to follow the command. The key problem is that the demon puppet created in this way is like a mental patient. Not only does it not obey the command, but it also 'chaos' everywhere. Run, and once you start moving, you won’t be able to stop without using up your energy.”

"Isn't that like a mental patient?"

The tree of time nodded desperately: "And he is a mentally ill patient with serious violent tendencies!"

Rose nudged me. "We'd better not build that thing. If he really wants to go crazy, with his fighting power, we may not be able to match him!"

"I know this. The problem is that we really need a city defense facility that can be mass-produced and is cheap and practical!"

"Is this thing also called cheap?" Rose pinched her fingers and calculated silently and said: "Initially, the cost of this thing is estimated to be 5 million crystal coins, and there are also production restrictions."

The Tree of Time interrupted us and said: "Actually, this is very simple. If you can't copy the golem, don't use it. This is not the only equipment of the previous master. In fact, strictly speaking, I am one of the master's works. Originally, I was just a The ordinary city tree was later transformed into an alienated city tree after being treated with magic."

"Speaking of other things, I have a question." I grabbed the Tree of Time. "What is that thing on top of the temple?"

"Temple...top?" The Tree of Time didn't react for a moment. "You mean the one that emits a red beam?"

"Yes, just that thing. What is it?"

"That's the energy radiation of the red-striped magic crystal. It may look like a beam, but it's actually an aggregate of highly concentrated pure energy. Because the energy is very strong, the killing effect is quite good. But the disadvantage is that it requires command. "

"What do you use to direct it?"

"I will direct it myself."

"Then how many can you command at the same time?"

"It can only be one. But I can capture 7 targets at the same time and attack three of them, and I can adjust the energy intensity as needed."

"I'm dizzy! It's more powerful than the fire control radar!"

"Ah? What is the fire control radar?" Of course the Tree of Time didn't know anything outside of the game.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Quickly take me to see the emitter of the red-striped magic crystal."

"Come this way."

Following the Tree of Time, we entered a stairwell. This was a spiral escalator that required continuous spiraling upwards. The launcher is located at the top of the temple. We are now in the center of the temple. This gap is huge. We kept spinning around until we reached the top of the escalator, our heads spinning. Opening the door does not mean entering the launch control room but outside the temple. This is like a rooftop, with the transmitter standing in the middle of the rooftop. An obelisk-like thing has a red-striped magic crystal as big as a football on the top, and the monument has almost no auxiliary facilities except for a few magic stripes.

"Why is the structure so simple?" Rose asked strangely.

"It emits pure energy and does not need to be converted. I control the aiming. Of course, there is no complicated equipment. All it takes is a large enough red-streaked magic crystal and a support frame."

"What a simple structure, but the cost is a bit exaggerated!" It would be great if this thing could use ordinary magic crystals! "I think this is useless. Let's dismantle it together. Do you want to move this pillar?"

The Tree of Time said: "Just bring the red-striped magic crystal with you. The body of the monument only serves as a support. It doesn't matter what you use to replace it."

I really didn't expect that a weapon as powerful as a small magic light cannon would have such a simple structure. Unfortunately, the value of this red-striped magic crystal was really unbearable.

After removing the red-striped magic crystal, under the leadership of City Tree, we inspected several achievement display rooms and some things we thought were useful. All the sub-dragon cavalry in the space gate were called out to help. As long as we saw and confirmed that they needed to be taken away, they were all dismantled and taken away. Every room we passed looked like a typhoon passing through. If someone who didn't know the situation came in, they would think the place had just been looted.

Rose couldn't hold on and went offline first. I only went offline to rest for a few minutes to solve some life problems and then came back to direct the transportation. One night, the huge temple was emptied by us. Until dawn the next day, there was only an empty shell left in the temple. . After putting everything into the space door, I entered the space door and found the Earth Mother Goddess. Although this temple was empty, it was still a temple after all. Maybe someone needed it! It turned out that the Mother Goddess of the Earth was really happy. She wanted to place this temple in the Guilin area of ​​China and use it as her palace. As a result, I was lucky enough to witness the incomparable power of the Founding God and the self-proclaimed gods of the angels and demons. What's the difference.

The Earth Mother asked us to put everything we needed and then leave the temple. I also left the Tree of Time in the space door. It was inconvenient to carry him around. Mother Earth stood on the shore of the lake with me and Rose looking at the temple. She just waved her hand, and an earthy-colored light mask suddenly appeared outside the temple, and then the entire temple began to sink slowly until it completely disappeared on the lake. Then she clapped her hands: "Done."

"Ah? That's it?" Rose and I thought it would have any effect.

The Earth Mother Goddess looked at us and said: "As long as it can achieve its goal, magic does not need gorgeous effects. Those dark and light gods you mentioned are all using those things to deceive people. We, the founding gods, do not need to perform. Juggling.”

Rose seemed a little unconvinced. "That temple just disappeared?"

"It's not disappearing, it's teleporting. I teleported the entire temple to China, so I can go on vacation in the future!"

"You just teleported away such a big thing?"

"Is this called big? The continents were all connected together at first, and I didn't separate them from each other. Is this temple bigger than a continent?"

sweat! The founding god and those dark and light gods are indeed not on the same level! People really can turn clouds and rain with their hands, and move mountains and seas with a snap of their fingers. We are just like ants. The God of Light and the God of Darkness are still fighting for control of some race. These founding gods are too lazy to get involved, just like a person doesn't care what the ants think of him. Their strength is not on the same level at all!

The Earth Mother once said that she would not attack magic, and even the founding gods would not attack magic. I think the reason why they don't do it is because they don't need it. If the Mother Goddess of Earth wants to kill someone, she can just separate the earth under his feet and then join it up again.

Seeing that Mother Earth was about to leave, I grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute! Um... look, I'm giving you such a big villa. Do you also express your gratitude?"

"Representation? What representation?"

This question is really hard to answer! If it’s too big, it’ll be bad if people reject it; if it’s too small, you’ll suffer a loss! You also need to use your brain when scraping the land. People who are good at planning will gain more. "Well... I'm tight on money right now, and some minerals are in short supply. You are the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and you have plenty of these ores. Can you...? Hmm?...? Hehe!"

"That's it!" The Earth Mother thought for a moment. "This is a small matter, tell me what you want?"

"Red streaked magic crystal and black jade." Rose said it before I could speak.

I quickly added: "There is also a star diamond."

Mother Earth raised her hand, and the ground next to us suddenly cracked open, and three hills, black, red, and transparent, rose up from the ground. I'm dizzy! Three mountains of 100% pure raw materials, and they are so big! Before I was overjoyed, I heard Mother Earth say: "I'll give you ten minutes. It's up to you how much you can get. As long as you put it into the space door, you've got it. Those that haven't been moved in will disappear immediately when the time is up. Start now." After I finished speaking, I was not given any time to speak. The Earth Mother Goddess suddenly disappeared on the spot, and the space door suddenly appeared.

Doesn’t this give me time to grab money? No matter what, he quickly called out all his available men, not even the clones. The steel silver bees and blood butterflies on their wings also came down to help carry it, picking up bits and pieces. After everyone came out, I said a few words. "Move in quickly, don't worry about the dark one over there, just these two."

The black one is black jade. A little of that stuff is enough to build a transnational teleportation array, not too much. The other two are things where the more the better, so take one more.

As soon as I picked it up, I realized that I had miscalculated. I should have got red-streaked magic crystal and magic silver. There is no place to buy the red-striped magic crystal if you have the money, so you have to have it. The star diamond directly helps us solve our economic problems, and we don’t need much of it in actual production. But now there's a problem. The hardness of the star diamond and the red-streaked magic crystal is exaggerated to the extreme, but the two mountains are a whole, and small pieces need to be removed before they can be moved. But how can they be removed if they are so hard!

Luck tried to bite it with his teeth first, but he almost lost his teeth. Ling planned to use dark corrosion to peel off a piece, but after a long time of dodge, he only got some slag off. Xiaochun wanted to use a high-energy beam to cut, but it turned out that one of the two things was transparent and the other actually absorbed the energy of the beam. I had no choice but to use Eternity, and I moved all the time, but the problem was that the speed was too slow. Tank suddenly ran over and sprayed a mouthful of acid liquid. The bottom of the red-streaked magic crystal was immediately dented. I didn't expect that the super biological acid would corrode even the magic crystal. I really underestimated Tank before. But this speed is still a bit slow.

A Di Na suddenly said: "Maybe I can find a way. You just need to step back and cover your ears."

I saw her making a sharp sound towards the hill of red-striped magic crystal, which became increasingly harsh, and we had to keep retreating. The harsh sound gradually increased in frequency, and soon we could no longer hear the sound, but I knew that the sound continued to increase in frequency.

Suddenly Adi Na fell down silently, and the harsh feeling disappeared. We hurried over to help her. A Di Na leaned on me and pointed at the red-striped magic crystal stone mountain, then she made a hammering motion with her fist. Rose understood immediately. "Tank, go up and knock it, use some strength."

The tank went up and hammered, and there was a clear sound like glass bursting. The huge crystal mountain suddenly collapsed, and countless red-striped magic crystals fell to the ground casually. I couldn't help being so excited and kissed A Di Na on the forehead. "You're amazing!" She actually used ultrasonic waves to disperse the hard red-streaked magic crystal! But it's a pity that the star diamond next to it can only be chopped slowly with a knife!

Amynis suddenly said: "Wait a minute, don't birds also do ultrasound?"

"That's right!" I quickly said to Feiniao: "Try to use your sound pressure blast to blast that diamond mountain."

The birds flew into the sky immediately after receiving the order, and I quickly pulled everyone back. Diamonds can cut glass, and their sharpness is absolutely powerful. If it explodes after a while, the small fragments will turn into shotguns, and it will be over if you don't stay away.

The flying bird that rushed to the sky suddenly turned around and dived downwards. Four visible white circles suddenly appeared in front of its wings, and the air began to glow after the height of the air trembled. Four circles of light converged into one in the air and simultaneously hit the center of Diamond Mountain directly downwards.

There was a crisp click, and I felt my ears explode. Half of Diamond Mountain was blown up almost instantly. The diamond fragments flew out like a goddess scattering flowers, hitting the surrounding ground and water as if they were being bombarded. Thanks to my foresight, I hid far away.

As soon as the fragments hit the ground, we immediately rushed up and started carrying the star diamonds. This is all money! The last few times have been delayed by 4 minutes, and there is still less than 6 minutes left to rush to transport supplies. I myself came to the Black Jade Mountain, turned eternity into a pickaxe, knocked off a few large pieces of Black Jade, and left it alone. This amount should be enough to build seven or eight transnational teleportation arrays. I don’t think I need to use so many All countries build teleportation arrays.

Because time is tight, we just use the fastest method - throwing. The Ice Queen used a large-scale freezing technique to freeze the ground, and then the fragments were sealed in the ice. The large magic pet directly lifted up the ice layer and the ground and threw it into the space door. The separation work will be done in the future. The current task is to move it as soon as possible.

10 minutes passed in a blink of an eye. We were moving happily, and the three mountains including all the external debris sank into the ground at once. This Mother Earth is really true, can't you give me more time! Fortunately, we were able to do a lot in a few minutes. All the ice queens fainted because they ran out of mana, and even Lucky and Plague were gasping for air!
