The exploration of the crystal veins was not smooth sailing. The place that Weiyu found was north of the birth point. Aether erosion opened a deep valley downwards in the forest. Along the direction of the flow of magic, huge feldspar crystals grew from the vegetation-covered cliff rocks. .暷
The oblique crystal sparkles magnificently in the sunlight.
This is a natural source of crystal minerals. There are real crystal veins buried in the huge crystals. Those crystals that absorb magic power are the basis of all magical skills. They can be made into the main core crystal, node crystal, and magic storage crystal of the magic furnace, the energy supply crystal, the element crystal on the magic device, and even the resonance crystal on the plug-in.
But there are uninvited guests in the deep valley.
The bottom of the valley was infected by magic and turned into a magnificent blue. There were many constructed creatures wandering below, like mindless ghosts, covered with vines, walking aimlessly among the crystal clusters.
Fang Plover was startled when he saw those things. The words "Nightmare Furnace Creature" almost blurted out. The dark and tall black iron body, with arms hanging down, walked on all fours, and the head was flashing with a dark red light.
But after a closer look, I found that they were not. They were covered with rust and were not endowed with the agility of living creatures. They cruised hollowly and stiffly, lacking any sign of intelligence.
The fairy doll 'Vina' flew out, her long emerald skirt flying in the wind, and a pair of silver braided ponytails flying up. She opened her platinum-like eyes and stared at the valley.暷
Three six-legged walking constructs similar to the 'Sword Plover' invented by Fang Plover but enlarged ten times jumped out from the forest and suppressed a cruising construct creature from all directions.
Their wooden bodies seemed very light. The monster construct raised its arms and threw one of them away. However, the second one came up and the construct made a buzzing sound and punched through the 'Sword Plover', half of it. The body frame and a pair of legs were smashed to pieces.
The third 'Sword Plover' followed.
Fang Plover raised his magic gloves, and the surrounding trees bent and decomposed into the shape of sharp claws. The undamaged parts flew back from the sword plover, along with the main core crystal and seven node crystals in its body. Fly back together.
Assembled together with the new body, a new 'Sword Plover' appeared in front of everyone.
The path of light spread along the feet of the Fang Plover, and the earth and rocks rolled up and stacked up to form a rock shield, covering the feet of the Sword Plover, turning it into a new and improved model.
All this was like magic, and everyone was almost stunned.暷
'Sword Plover''s video crystal lit up, he stood up and formed a connection with 'Vina'. The fairy puppet looked in that direction and pointed with his hand. The fourth 'Sword Plover' rushed towards the construct.
At this time, Mu Lan found the opportunity and swung her sword in that direction with all her strength. A fire arrow came out from the magic sword in her hand and passed through the gap between the two 'Sword Plover's. The side armor of the construct in the center.
This sword in this space is equivalent to a full-out blow from a magic swordsman of the same level. Without any discount, the fire blade directly penetrated the side of the construct, leaving a golden-red incision there.
High temperature poured into its body, almost melting everything. Magic sparks erupted from everywhere in the tall, dark construct, and it trembled and fell face to face, its body torn apart——
"Gu Lande, Xiaoyao, recycle it," Fang Pliant pointed at the construct and shouted, "The others continue to advance. Mu Lan, when your magic power is exhausted, hand the sword to MTT."
He talked about laying his hands on a towering ancient tree.
If you see a world full of stars in your eyes.暷
Time flies.
The light path extended along the tree trunk, and the wood was bent under his gloves. They automatically grew into regular shapes, forming another sword plover.
All the previous parts have been recycled, and the crystal is inserted into its core. The video crystal above its head lights up, but because it is not connected to the fairy doll, it is dormant quietly aside.
"If I run out of magic power," Fang Yu replied, "Sister Luo Wei, it will be you."
"I can't be as fast as you." Luo Wei said with a wry smile. They originally planned to lure the constructs inside to ambush and destroy them, which is what most players in the past did.
But Fang Yu said no, everyone had learned to trust him blindly during the battle with the withered tree man, and he did not disappoint everyone. From the outside, he just had miraculous multiple parallel abilities.
What is displayed in this world is incredible power, and one can't help but think that if the alchemist can really achieve this step, then he may really be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods with a mortal body.暷
Their thoughts returned to reality. According to the speed of replenishing the construct, they really didn't need to go around and around.
"It doesn't have to be so fast," Fang Plover replied. "After we recover a few constructs, we will have enough parts to assemble more 'Sword Plover'. Next, we will build an advance base here and mine Crystal, configure a magic furnace for everyone."
"Next, let Weiyu and MTT configure the magic furnace first," Fang Lu said. "MTT is the construction craftsman, and he will be the main force next. Weiyu can replace part of my work."
"Are we going to build a base here?" Xiaoyao was a little surprised.
Alchemy in Etalia has three major elements: resources, manpower and technology.
In this world, the mechanical tower represents technology. The more control rights you have over the mechanical tower, the more technology nodes you have.
The manpower is themselves. Crystal veins can be regarded as a type of resource, but they are not all resources. To rebuild the production system of magic skills, various minerals and magic substances are also needed.暷
"We can't make anything with the crystals alone," Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask, "How about we cut a batch of crystals here first, assemble the remaining magic furnaces, and then see if we can find pig iron. Or cold iron ore veins, the magic material forest is full of them, so it seems there should be no shortage."
"No need," Fang Yu shook his head. He silently looked at the deep valley and already had a completed plan in his mind: "But I need your help."
As soon as he spoke, the others stopped objecting.
Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said nothing.
The battle in the erosion valley did not last long. There were only a few sporadic structures in total, and they lacked intelligence and were unorganized among themselves.
Luo Wei told everyone that most of these constructs were scattered from nearby towers. The closer they were to the mechanical tower, the more such constructs were, and under the command of the tower, they would show a certain degree of intelligence. .
The closer to the spires in the central area, the larger the population of constructs, and there will be some high-level constructs among them, and the intelligence of the spires will be more powerful.暷
Especially the three main towers, where there are a large number of alien structures swimming around, and there are also some large structures, and even dragon-like knights - giant structures similar to the Imperial Wind Knight.
"In Loofah's session, they captured a main tower together with the Empire, and both sides shared the benefits equally. Loofah got the Fairy Soul No. 7, and with that Fairy Soul, they made it to the end of this trial. Be a winner.”
"Loofah finally reached the Hall of the Holy King and created a legend. It was from that time that the Mainland League gradually became valued by the Kaolin people."
"But it's not as important as today." Luo Wei glanced at Fang Plover, obviously understanding that this game is attracting attention for a reason, "Going forward, no one has broken through the main tower in many games, at least it has to be Until the era of M Alliance."
"But the test difficulty of the Spire Trial at that time was not comparable to that of today. Alchemy has been improving," she said, "but the Orgiffin Trial has actually been increasing in difficulty."
"This session is a node," Shui Wuming also said, "It has spread from multiple parallels, but it has not yet begun to be used on a large scale in competitions, so the difficulty of Orgiffin's trial is still at the level of the previous session. level. Of course, it’s the same for other teams, so this competition is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers.”
"I've seen the periphery——"
Luo Wei glared at her seriously, and then Shui Wuming remembered that these things couldn't be discussed on the table, and he clapped his tongue and took back his words.
However, in peripheral betting this year, many people are optimistic that they can defeat the main tower again, and they even bet that they can defeat several main towers.
It's just that Fang Plover is not interested in those.
He walked towards the valley, looking around the terrain here, but in his mind, the scene when Senior Sister Minghe Soul pulled him aside and talked to him about the trial——
"The people of the Empire may attach great importance to this competition," Ming told him. "They have attracted participating teams from overseas areas. Most of the teams selected from the audition are from the Empire. They may not be biased towards the association's teams, but they are not biased either. I will form an alliance with you."
"During the Ogilfen Spire Trial, although the tournament host committee has restrictions on how to combine vertical and horizontal lines, in order to win the victory, it is reasonable to add insult to injury."
"You have a very high voice this time, and you have mastered multiple parallel skills that are more proficient than most teams. In addition, the Ithurian delegation can occupy a quota in the Spire Trial all year round. They chose to target you, to say the least. It is to increase your chances of qualifying."
"But the Imperials occupy two places all year round, sometimes even three, and they also have a huge advantage. They also have multiple parallel skills that are not weaker than ours," Fang Pliance asked, "Why does Sister Ming think that other teams Will it target us?"
"Because the Imperial people are too strong."
"That's really bullying the weak and fearing the strong." Fang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But he just smiled, and the smile disappeared briefly and soon returned to calm.
Ming looked at his calm face and asked with a smile, "Have you thought about how to break the situation? It will be too late to think about this after being besieged in the Orgiffin Spire Trial."
Fang Plover nodded.
"Ed," the soul fingerprint on the side couldn't help but mention, "You are extremely talented in the battle craftsmanship, but in that world, you rely on goblin dolls to fight. Every more goblin doll means more More than twice the combat power. You have powerful computing power, but a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Sister Ming is right. You have to think about this carefully. This time, because you are too famous, the second division may not be able to do it at the beginning. Stand with you."
She wanted to say something more, but Ming interrupted her and said with a smile: "The little guy has already thought about it, leave it to him."
The soul fingerprint was a little helpless: "Sister Ming."
"The end of the craftsman's trial test is the craftsman's understanding of magic skills, fingerprints," Ming smiled, "Even if it is a team competition, it cannot be won by just having more people. Don't think of the occultists of the Silver Tower. They see it too simply, and the Imperial people must also know this very well."
She looked at Fang Plover with some admiration, "The little guy saw through it early on. He is exactly the same as the little girl Loofah."
Fang Plover retracted his thoughts and looked to the horizon. The dusk had fallen, and the setting sun after falling into the clouds coated the entire sea of trees with a copper-colored afterglow.
There are still two hours until nightfall.
He really doesn't need to think about things that are too complicated.暷
The Imperials may be thinking about how to gain as many advantages as possible and win the game in one fell swoop with their accumulated advantages;
But all he was thinking about was how to recreate everything he had seen here.
"What does he want to do?"
The live broadcast room became quiet.
After Jerros asked the director to cut the scene, he looked at this scene with some surprise. The battle just now had left a very deep impression on him.
But with his keenness in hosting games for many years, he had a vague feeling that what would happen next was not simple. As for his assistant, he was already a little incoherent.
What a young man.暷
Fang Plover stood quietly in the valley, describing the blueprints one by one in his mind - it would be better to have a barrier there, a tower there, and a mining area inward, where a clearing can be made.
Then, you're good to go.
He stretched out his hand and connected the magic glove to this world - in the real world he needed to complete this step through the magic circle of ancient alchemy, but in this world this step was omitted.
The first thing he felt was the active wind element, the ubiquitous atmosphere and wind, the earth, rocks, earth elements, trees, and vibrant vegetation connected to it, as well as the ores, gravel, and crystal veins hidden underneath.
ether--
What they formed was an abstract world of twinkling stars. What he had seen in the planetarium could only be regarded as a corner of this world, a corner the size of gravel.
And this truly vast world is tens of thousands or billions of times bigger than the hotel in Sid's town. The edges of the world are even a little blurry. That's the end of his computing power.暷
But the place suddenly lit up, and a new starlight network came in, much smaller than his original one, and then another one.
Fang Yu felt something in his heart. He opened his eyes and looked in that direction. There stood Luo Wei and Wu Cun respectively. The magic storage crystal on the magic furnace behind them had been charged and was emitting a gleaming light.
"Senior, Wu Cun, let's get started."
He said.
A path of light centered on his magic glove, passed through the air, and spread in all directions. The light passed through the stars, changing their positions, the land rolled, and the soil formed high walls.
The flowing wall solidified, flashed with enhanced luster, and turned from dark brown to blue-grey, layered like rocks.
The light path is divided into four, like countless branches sprouting from a towering tree, extending outward along the undulating land. Wherever it passes, the ground automatically splits, forming layers of stairs.暷
Under the stairs, the crystals were extracted by invisible forces, divided, and purified in the flickering light, forming the same size and shape, neatly stacked together.
In the live broadcast room, Jerry and his assistant stood up from their positions at the same time.
They stared at this scene in stunned silence.
What's this?
Now they feel like they are not the commentators, but the audience. So where is the commentary, and who is going to tell them what it is?
The light is continuing to move forward. Wherever the white light path passes, the world is being artificially transformed little by little, shaping it into what it should be.
Calculations from the sky flow into Fang Plover's world of will through starlight. That is a calculation that no mortal can handle -
But he doesn't have to handle it himself. The system amplifies the craftsman's computing power through attributes, and the world further amplifies this ability.
Multiple parallelism is at home here, and it allows alchemy to demonstrate the same ability as the Creator.
If Fang Plover's own computing power is ten, then with the blessing of the system attributes, his calculation power is one hundred. In this world, it is one thousand or even higher. In the world under exponential amplification——
It was a miracle in front of everyone.
"This is simply magic..." Xiaoyuan looked at this scene from a distance. This was not the first time he had seen Fang Plover use multiple parallel techniques, but every time he saw it, he had a different shock: "Compared with this, we and Wu Saving that means nothing.”
"The principles are the same," Weiyu shook her head, "It's just that with Ed's computing power, should I also work part-time as a combat craftsman?"
Xiaoyao was a little speechless, "Do you think this was brought by the battle craftsmen?"
"I just heard that combat craftsmen have very strict requirements on computing power." Weiyu said.
Shui Wuming shook his head, "You are not familiar with combat craftsmen, Weiyu... Ed is also a monster level in the field of combat craftsmen."
The three of them couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
"Tell me," she asked again, "did Loofah's teammates back then feel the same way we do now?"
Weiyu shook her head.
"Why," Shui Wuming turned around, "Have you seen the scene at that time?"
"Have you forgotten my origin?" Weiyu said with a wry smile, "Senior Sister Soul Fingerprint participated in that competition. How should I put it, Loofah is actually not the same type of alchemist as Ed. After that, you will go to the next one. In the second world, you will understand..."
"Should we go and help?" Xiaoyao turned around and asked.
"How can we help?" Shui Wuming looked at Luo Wei and Wucun, "We don't have a magic furnace."
"Go and move things," Xiaoyao pointed to the stacked crystals. "I saw that Ed only purified them, but they still need to be sorted into categories. The main core crystal needs to have a basic energy-guiding circuit, and the resonance crystal needs to be prepared in advance. Inputting formulas and other crystals also require preprocessing. Although manual work is slower, we are still idle, right?"
Shui Wuming and Weiyu looked at each other and nodded.
Viewed from mid-air, the light path seems to have formed a huge magic circle in the forest.
Nothing was left wherever he passed, only the flat ground, stacked crystal materials, and high stone walls.
The light swept across the ground like mercury pouring down, and the surface seemed to have been leveled automatically, as if it had been tamped down, and a layer of concrete reinforcement was even poured on the surface.暷
Smooth as a mirror.
After the high wall was erected, rocks and planks pulled from various places automatically built the tower. Luo Wei and Wu Cun's magic gloves also exuded soft light, but they only needed to strengthen and modify them behind.
The opened soil automatically formed a mine pit, and countless crystals were automatically extracted. Xiaoyao and Weiyu were able to participate in the transportation at first, but later they were too late to even move it.
In the end, Luo Wei asked 'Vina' to control the Sword Plover's structure and participate in it, so that it could match the work efficiency of Fang Plover.
But even Fang Plover couldn't build an advance base in one go. The light path extended to its limit would only cover an area of a hundred feet in radius.
Moreover, the magic power of the magic storage crystal was quickly exhausted, and the magic furnace could not be used due to the red temperature. He had to stop and rest, and Luo Wei and Wu Cun took over his work.
When the advance base is about a quarter complete, Fang Plover no longer needs to personally intervene in it, and the alchemists don't need to do everything personally. They also have magic devices and automatic constructs.暷
After Fang Yu finished resting, Xiaoyao had also finished cutting the first batch of crystals - Fang Yu directly took a 100% new magic storage crystal from the latter's hand and inserted it into the magic furnace.
This is the meaning of mastering resource points. This is much faster than using a magic furnace to recharge energy storage crystals. It is said that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This is the reason for looking for mineral veins in the first place.
He hooked his fingers, and four tall lancers rose from the ground. Guy's crystal formed their floating platform, and solid ironwood formed their arms.
The Lancers were originally derived from port machinery and are a type of work structure.
After Fang Plovers removed their attacks, matching cooling systems, and wind element spouts, they could be cast out of them using readily available materials.
Although the wooden structure is a little fragile, it is more than enough to complete the work in the mining area.
He handed these four working structures to Wu Cun and said: "Wucun, I will leave the mining area to you. I will only keep part of the remaining crystals, and I will take away the rest."
Fang Yu turned back to Luo Wei and said, "Senior, what is the maximum control range of 'Vina'?"
"About five thousand meters."
"How far are we from that mechanical tower?" Fang Plover asked again.
"There is less than six thousand meters in Sankong." This time the answer was a whisper.
Fang Yu immediately said, "Xiaoyao, you and Shui Wuming will stay here first, produce some magic crystals here, and help the rest of the people complete the magic furnace first. I will give you the alpha crystal drawings first."
"Brother Weiyu, you and Wucun are going to look for other resources, such as iron ore and some rare metals." He looked at Gu Lande again, "Gu Lande, you look for magic raw materials nearby and try to make a batch of them. The magic reagents and potions are out for emergencies."
Guland nodded quickly.暷
"As for Senior Sister, Mulan. You come with me," Fang Pliance said, "We will find a site for the crystal tower and build a relay station about three thousand meters away from the base. After the communication is established, we will contact each other. "
"MTT, you stay in the mining area to be responsible for safety work, and produce a batch of real combat structures, including walkers or similar models."
Everyone nodded.
"Exploring overnight?" Only Mu Lan asked unexpectedly.
Fang Plover nodded.
Weiyu seemed to want to say something, but Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao had no objection. He turned back to look at Luo Wei, who also looked normal, not to mention MTT and Mu Lan.
Although the two were his teammates, they seemed to be more convinced by each other. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, but in the end he did not raise any objection.暷
The initial trust built among the team seemed to create a tacit understanding.
What's more, there are benefits to exploring overnight. They don't need to rest in this space. Night will only become a thousand times more dangerous, but it is also a great opportunity to make progress.
Especially in the first few days when other teams haven’t found their feet yet.
The members of the main group of Corinthians dispersed.
But the main arena was silent.
Jellos and his assistant stood there as if under magic, motionless.
On the separate screen on the field, the Lotao people had found the crystal vein for the second time, but it took them a lot of effort to capture the mine area.暷
And it was not until sunset that these people managed to make the third magic furnace. They planned to spend some time to continue exploring, so they left two people here to cut crystals and prepare to complete the fourth magic furnace. furnace.
Normally, Jerros would have commented: "The Lotao people have completed the third magic furnace. The installation of this magic furnace is good news for them as night falls soon."
Moreover, they have found a crystal mine. If the Lotao people can prepare all the magic furnaces before the next day, then the progress may not be much slower than that of Forin's Sanshak delegation. If nothing unexpected happens——
They will become the second team to build a forward base within three days.
That was what could have been.
But for now.
This commentator, who has many years of experience, didn't know what to say.暷
What second one?
At this moment, he only stared at the picture of the Kaolin people, and said dryly, "... Kao, the Kaolin people seem to be moving overnight to the mechanical tower..."
"...But the Empire was already ahead of them, arriving at the Mechanical Tower first..."
…
