Chapter 182 The Importance of Room Soundproofing

"Hmph! Can you withstand this punch that took twenty years of hard work!"

Inside the heavy power armor, Carl looked at the power of his punch and nodded with satisfaction.

But he forgot that the clay golem is not so easy to kill.

Because of the collapse of the body, the spirit that drives the clay golem also lost some of its power.

The command data left in the spirit by the owner of the clay golem was damaged. The clay golem, whose half of the body had collapsed, suddenly rushed up like crazy and hugged Carl.

The clay body burst out with impressive strength under the power of magic. Carl's heavy power armor fell to the ground because of the opponent's grab.

The other clay golems around heard the news and surrounded Carl.

Seeing that these guys seemed to be planning to wrap themselves in their bodies and squeeze them to death, Carl immediately launched another summon.

"Bang!"

In the encirclement of the clay golem, a metal box that was a few points taller than the Gaia Type 1 power armor that Carl was wearing now appeared out of thin air.

The sound of "click, click" mechanism operation was endless, and weapons suddenly ejected from the seemingly integrated metal box.

Two shuttle-shaped floating guns flew out first, and white mist continued to blow out from the heat dissipation port of the weapon as the internal pressure increased.

With a psychic command from Carl, two solid nitrogen "ice" shells hit the clay golems.

They quickly liquefied and vaporized, and the low temperature spread around, even freezing the bodies of the clay golems so that they could not move.

Seeing this, Carl immediately launched the Thunder Fight Fist.

Under the ultrasonic vibration, the "brittle" clay golems were shattered one by one.

When Carl stood up again, the two shuttle-shaped floating guns flew over and connected to the shoulders of the power armor.

Then, Carl strode towards the weapon box.

Those clay golems that were shattered on the ground were not completely dead, and the remaining spirits were still spontaneously gathering the clay bodies together.

Coming to the weapon box, Carl controlled the power armor to hold the hilt of the weapon box, and then pulled it out with all his strength.

A ship-slashing sword that was more than half a meter taller than the power armor appeared on the stage, and the elemental weapon magic pattern engraved on the blade took effect, and the originally black blade lit up with an orange-yellow light.

The blade passed through the air, and the scorching temperature scorched the air and distorted it a little.

At the same time, the clay golem completed an unprecedented fusion.

Several golems with collapsed bodies merged together because they could not distinguish each other. They entangled and stood up from the ground. Four or five arms grew on their twisted bodies, and heads grew everywhere.

Seeing this, Carl controlled the weapon box to fly out two more pendants.

They were attached to the feet of the power armor respectively, and the armor at the calf position of the power armor opened, revealing the jet inside.

The legs exerted a little force, and the ground was trampled into a deep pit by the power armor.

The jet port at the calf position used nitrogen to accelerate, and Carl rushed forward instantly. The electromagnetically heated ship-slashing sword came up and split Huashan with one move.

Speed ​​is power.

The hybrid of the clay golem was directly split in the middle, and then hit by the gravity armor from the middle.

Carl barely posed a fairly handsome pose, but before he could continue to make any moves, the clay golem behind him had completely lost its breath of life and collapsed into dirt all over the ground.

"So, how did those swordsmanship that can keep the opponent intact temporarily after a single cut?"

Looking back at the mess on the ground, Carl's face was full of confusion.

"You probably have to ask those battle masters about this, but the most important thing now is the camp. What should we do? The original building collapsed. Let's find another place?"

A few meters away, Hope gradually shrank from the giant form, responding to Carl's muttering.

And the building wreckage that was originally selected as the future residence collapsed completely because it lost its support.

"Oh my god, is it so difficult for me to find a ready-made place to live? Forget it, fortunately I had anticipated this before I came here."

Pointing in the direction of the weapon box, the weapon box that had been motionless rose slowly, revealing the tracks underneath.

It slowly moved to the side of Carl and Hope, and then "spit out" a machine.

This machine is at least one-fifth the size of the weapon box. Carl raised his hand and the small floating guns flew over, manipulating the clay on the ground to fly into an entrance of the machine.

The fire lit up from the inside of the machine, and soon a red brick fell out from the back of the machine.

"Well, it seems that the calcination skills that were trained in the dungeon have not been lost."

After getting out of the Gaia Type I power armor, Carl picked up the brick and knocked on the armor next to it.

The crisp collision sound showed that the hardness of the brick was unexpectedly reliable. Carl looked at Hope and smiled meaningfully.

"Let me make it clear first, my house-building skills haven't improved at all."

Picking up another finished brick, Hope's thoughts seemed to have returned to the underground city of the past.

"Hey, how could I let you do such a thing? Here, pack the bricks in the dimensional bag, and we'll find a more reliable place later."

As he was talking, Ying, who was scouting the terrain nearby, heard the sound of fighting and rushed back. Seeing the collapsed building wreckage and the two intact people, she sighed helplessly.

Shadow: "There is a slope over there. Since we want to build our own camp, let's go over there. It's about the same distance and it's relatively hidden."

Karl: "Okay, then I'll go check it out. You and Hope will collect clay to make bricks here."

Accepting the reality that he could not move in with his bags, Karl didn't waste any time and immediately went to investigate in the direction pointed by the shadow.

The flight technique on the Moon Spirit Armor was activated, and Karl's hands and feet released pulses, flying quickly towards the target.

Soon, Carl arrived at the slope that Ying mentioned.

It is said to be a slope, but in fact it is quite high. People who live in plain areas may think it is a hill.

The height of the entire underground ruins is about 10 meters, and the slope is at least 7 meters high.

The only problem is that there are many wild beasts and monsters wandering here. If you want to settle here, you may need to set up some security measures.

"Can you consider using clay golems or stone golems, or making some clay golems from fired pottery?"

After finalizing the plan, Karl turned around and returned.

In just such a short time, the machine had already produced half a dimensional bag of bricks.

After groping on top of the weapon box, Karl found a hidden button and pressed it.

There was another mechanical sound, and V's mechanical body separated from it.

"At your service, Master."

With a very gentlemanly salute, V took out two dimensional bags and opened them.

Grabbing the parts that fell from it, it quickly assembled them. After a while, the skeleton of an engineering construct appeared vaguely.

Today, V, like Moorban's No. 1, has retreated behind the scenes and become a mechanical servant assisting Carl in manufacturing operations.

After all, as Carl's level increases, V's combat power is no longer necessary.

However, Karl did not give up on upgrading V, but focused on assisting himself.

"Choose a relatively open drawing for the model of the base, and try to build it underground as much as possible. Currently, there are five living rooms tentatively planned. The space for storing my production workshop must be large enough."

After stating the request, V had already compiled a drawing based on Karl's knowledge.

This is one of the benefits of an artificial life servant as an assistant. It is connected to its creator's consciousness and can directly rely on its master's knowledge for assistance.

Even if Karl drew the drawings himself, they would only have limited strengths compared to what V gave.

Soon, the construction of the two engineering structures was completed. V entered the drawing data into the structures, and then went to the construction site.

Carl escorted them over in a Gaia-1, while Hope and Shadow stayed here to collect clay to make bricks.

With a rumble, construction began.

In the evening, the first floor of the base was completed, but except for the two bedrooms, the rest was just an outline.

Karl asked V and two engineering constructs to hide the entrance to the base, and then went to bed to rest.

…

Early the next morning, Carl and Hope walked out of the room refreshed, only to see Ying with two dark circles under his eyes, looking like he didn't have enough sleep.

"While it's still under construction, you should quickly think of a way to enhance the sound insulation."

Looking at Karl, Ying showed a rare expression of resentment.

These words made Carl and Hope feel a little embarrassed to speak. After all, they thought there were no outsiders around last night, so they were quite relaxed.

"Ahaha, sorry, I'm going out to buy some wood today. I heard that Xen'drik's wood is ridiculously cheap, and the big trees in the forest grow as fast as weeds."

This is true. After all, Xen'drik is located on the equator, and is also rich in Eberron dragon crystals. The degree of greenery can be said to be quite insane.

Even the druids here sometimes take the initiative to cut down some trees to prevent them from taking up too much sunlight and destroying the ecology.

"Then let's go shopping together. The things we need to buy are not just wood. By the way, didn't No. 18 also want to come with you? Why didn't you bring her with you?"

Pretending not to care, Ying also paid attention to No. 18, who was training as a monk with him, that is, Mitris.

Morgban's research on the Death Dragon Mark had already made a breakthrough when Karl was in fifth grade. Then he handed over No. 18 to Karl's management while he went into seclusion to study.

Karl replaced No. 18 with a full set of bionic materials, making her look like a normal person at least on the outside.

After that, because Shadow began to practice as a monk, No. 18 also joined in and chose the Eternal Death Sect in Karl's hands as his sub-class.

What surprised Karl was that the monk's qi was not repulsive to bionic materials, and even included them as part of the body's qi protection.

Over the past few years, No. 18 and Lisanna have often teamed up to do tasks, and they have actually raised the monk level to level 8.

But Karl always felt that this Cyborg girl didn't look like a good person, so when he planned to come to Xen'drik to search for the giant ruins, he didn't let him go with him.
