Chapter 97 Mingwen Technology? Mechanical soaring!
Demon King's Territory, Quality Square.
Oke, who returned from the third floor of the maze later that day, shouted excitedly when he saw Luo Yan.
"Lord Demon King, your "players" are simply geniuses!!!"
Luo Yan has long been accustomed to Ork's exaggerated reaction.
After all, this guy is obsessed with flattering, to the extent that he will carefully savor the meaning of any fart.
Honestly.
This is quite abnormal.
"Ok, my ears are almost numb from hearing these words. Just tell me what happened."
"Yes! Lord Demon King!"
Ok, who was so excited that every cell in his body was trembling, vividly described everything that happened in Iron Fang City today.
Although Luo Yan had read the spoilers on the official website forum long before this guy came back.
But after listening to Oak's description, a surprised expression appeared on his face involuntarily.
"They have already started to use Hades to design robots?"
No -
Is the span too big? !
Ok nodded his head excitedly.
"That's right! Ork saw it with his own eyes! They have already made a big arm! The kind that can be used even with a magic stone!"
"And what’s more, not only are the big arms, they also carved inscriptions into the barrels! The magic energy was blasted out directly!"
Good guy——
Could this be a magic crystal cannon? !
Although Luo Yan didn't know what the so-called blasting method of directly blasting out magic energy was, just hearing Ouk's description was outrageous enough.
He thought that the post posted on the forum by [the chemical pool was stuffy] was bragging, but he didn’t expect that the latter was bragging conservatively? !
In the original plan, Luo Yan sent these professional life players to Iron Fang City to visit and exchange, mainly to help the moles there develop the design ideas of Hades.
I didn’t expect these players to go to Iron Fang City and just drag those big-nosed moles to jump over industrialization and play mechanical ascension like matches thrown into an oil barrel? !
This is too outrageous!
However, Luo Yan felt relieved after thinking about it.
Even magic is acceptable to him, and there seems to be nothing difficult to understand about using magic on machines.
Even for players, this is the real optimal solution.
After all, they who come from the earth are not good at extraordinary powers. If they want to throw a fireball, they have to learn for a long time. If they don't have the patience, they may not even be able to learn it.
On the contrary——
Hyphics have no such obstacles!
It is more like a rule that can be used by anyone who has mastered the rules, and is not limited to extraordinary people authorized by divine authority!
Hence, as long as you master the relevant knowledge and prepare the corresponding materials and energy, even LV0 players can use it to its fullest effect!
Looking at the shocked Demon King, Oak smiled shamelessly and made a cautious request.
"Lord Demon King... In order for your minions to better train those little mice, please give Oak more translation crystals... One translation crystal is really not enough for them."
After recovering from the shock, Luo Yan said.
"This is easy to say, I have put the translation crystal on the shelf of the NPC store, you just ask them to buy it there."
The current price of a translation crystal is 100,000 Hades coins, which contains 2,000 words and some basic grammar of the common language on the surface.
Without it, players can only listen to NPCs talking and read subtitles on the player system interface. With it, no matter whether the player is playing a skeleton soldier or a lizardman, he can communicate with most NPCs in the common language on the surface.
For these players who have been in the server for a month, it is not difficult to come up with 100,000 hell coins.
However, considering that a considerable number of these players are not good at completing tasks, there may not be many ghost coins in the account.
Luo Yan thought for a moment and then spoke.
"...In addition, considering the special needs of your apprentices, I will provide them with a separate batch of "specially customized translation crystals". These customized crystals not only contain more professional vocabulary, but can also be rented for only 100 Hades per hour... I call it the Translation Crystal Enterprise Edition."
Hearing the special care given to him by the Demon King, Oak's eyes were filled with tears of emotion.
Without time to carefully analyze whether this was a gift or cutting leeks, he kowtowed and said gratefully.
"Thank you, Lord Demon King, for your gift!"
If he hadn't known this guy's nature, Luo Yan couldn't help but suspect that he was arrogantly blaming himself.
"No courtesy, no need to be polite... Is there anything else you can do?"
Oke raised his head, nodded hastily, and spoke in a somewhat unspeakable way.
"Sir, your minions are nominally my apprentices after all, but they are all clamoring about setting up some kind of magic workshop. Of course, I am not questioning your decision, I just want to say... Is this a bit unnecessary?"
Luo Yan was immediately happy when he heard this.
I didn’t expect that Goblin, who didn’t even care about dignity, actually cared about the master-disciple relationship.
Although he could not explain at all, he was a demon king who took care of the feelings of his subordinates after all, so he straightened his expression and said.
"Oak, they are undoubtedly your apprentices, there is no doubt about it... As for setting up your own magic workshop, I don't think the two are in conflict with each other."
"But..."
Looking at Oak, who was still struggling, Luo Yan continued slowly.
"Expand your situation a little bit, do you position yourself just as a small workshop owner running a magic workshop?"
Ok's eyes widened in surprise.
"My lord...isn't it? That's the job you personally entrusted to Oak..."
"That's only temporary," Luo Yan continued to draw the pie without blushing at all, "In the future you will not only be a magic workshop, but also You will have your own mage tower, and even a mage leader! But this is not the point. The point is that I have greater expectations for you... You know? Oke, I am very optimistic about you."
"The Demon King...has greater expectations for Oke?!" Oke's eyes turned red.
This guy still likes to be moved as always, and a few words can bring tears to his eyes.
What a good goblin.
"That's right," Luo Yan nodded approvingly and continued in a persuasive tone, "You will become the smartest and most cunning minion under my command...and there is no one else! Think about it, what will people say about you in the future?"
"They will Say, you are the smartest, most evil and cunning goblin in the history of Osland, even smarter than the smartest goblin! Even the magicians in the school gang have to learn from you!"
"Because the entire magic workshop in the necropolis and their masters were trained by you!"
"Now, do you still care that your apprentices have failed you for your hard work? Even that is not a failure at all, but a dispersal of your teachings and carrying them forward..."
"Have you figured it out?"
"Ok, I understand!" Ok clenched his hands excitedly, and suddenly bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Lord Demon King, the stupid Ok was actually blinded by the false reputation in front of him, and he failed you. Looking forward to it...please don’t take it personally."
"How could I take it seriously? I see your loyalty. I am very satisfied at the moment and hope you will continue to do so." Luo Yan smiled and said. Wen Wen continued gently, "By the way, the time has come. Let's stay for dinner and then go back."
Hearing that the Demon King had summoned him for dinner again, Oak straightened his back in excitement.
"Yes! Lord Demon King!"
...
In just 24 hours a day, six magic workshops popped up in the necropolis.
The one with the most outstanding performance and the largest scale is undoubtedly the "I Xunsi Can Magic Workshop" established by the player "I was bored in the chemical pool".
As the first person to try something new, he relied on his superb Hades technology and modern mechanical engineering to attract a large number of engineering rats to join, and the number of employees reached more than 100 on the day of establishment.
In order to fulfill his promise to his employees, this guy simply DIYed a large iron stove and roasted sweet potatoes himself outside Iron Fang City on the third floor of the maze.
Given the appetite of the mole people, one sweet potato is enough for them to eat for a day, which is not expensive.
Compared to its output, the profits can be described as astonishingly high.
In addition, "Zheng Fangfang", "Magic Energy Technology", "Tianxia Human World" and so on were also born.
I don’t know what methods those players used, but the mole people in Iron Fang City worshiped them almost to the point of worshiping them as gods!
As for how Luo Yan knew it, it was quite simple, because these beliefs would ultimately be attributed to him.
That night, while he was enjoying dinner, his faith value kept rising. In the end, the "temporary increase" was simply merged into the daily increase.
That was a sign of complete surrender, just like the adventurer who was locked in a small dark room by him.
It’s not just humans.
Mole people will also contribute faith points, but the values are different.
Also thanks to the rats in Iron Tooth City, Luo Yan's faith value has now exceeded the 5,000 point mark, and he is on his way to 6,000 points...
...
The next day.
Luo Yan got up early, had breakfast, and wrote a letter to the Demon King Management Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reporting that a "natural disaster" had occurred in the dimensional desert and that the Brass Pass was in danger. At the same time, he asked about the "Mad Whisperer".
Considering that the classmate Mia who was working with him was a scumbag, and it was obviously impossible for the other party to know the secrets that he didn't even know, so Luo Yan specifically mentioned in the letter that if you can't answer the question, don't force it, please pass the question to Professor Lilith of Demon King Academy.
If it were Professor Lilith, this little thing should be easy for her.
After finishing his daily chores, Luo Yan began to prepare for exploring the fourth floor of the maze.
It is different from the traditional maze on the first three floors.
The fourth level of the maze is called "Misty Forest". It is an open area with no mechanisms or walls to separate the action route.
According to the information Luo Yan exchanged for a meal from the little demon Misina, the fourth floor of the maze is an underground forest with a day and night cycle.
its area is so large that it is unimaginable, even comparable to the Silver Pine Forest, and its rich resources are unmatched by the first three levels.
It's just that since the death of the previous demon king, the dome crystal that maintains the day and night cycle has lost its energy source, and the entire forest is currently in a state of semi-death.
The local rulers are said to be a group of night elves who are good at dark and wood magic.
When the Demon King Reggie Dragon had just died, these night elves, in the name of the lords of the fourth floor, invited the "rulers" of the first five floors of the maze to go to the fourth floor and held a "summit meeting" to discuss the future of the maze.
It is said that Sanu, the former chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe, was one of the participants in the meeting, as the ruler of the first level.
According to Missy, Queen Sissi had a very bad impression of him, describing him as pitifully weak but with a bad temper like a hellhound.
That meeting did not reach any mandatory agreement, but simply agreed that the rulers at each level would not invade each other's boundaries and continue to fulfill their obligations as members of the maze - preventing adventurers from exploring deeper.
Nightmare Land can be regarded as complying with the first rule. After all, the little devils do not have such a large need for territory, and the environment on other floors is not comfortable for them.
As for the second agreement, not only was Sissi not taking it seriously, but most of the rulers at all levels were violating it in both positive and negative ways.
After all, the warlords deep in the maze have cut off supplies to the upper levels of the maze. There is really no reason for them to risk being killed by adventurers to ensure the interests of those stingy people.
Instead, they hope that the adventurers on the surface will invade the depths of the maze.
That is the dream land that is truly full of treasures!
In contrast, the first five floors are just a place for the poor people in the maze.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Yan learned from Missy that the ruler of the third level was not a mole man. The person participating in the meeting at that time was a clay golem that was suspected to have silver-level strength.
That guy was made by Demon King Reggie Dragon himself, but for some reason he did not go out with him. Instead, he existed as the BOSS on the third floor of the maze.
The clay golem actually gained self-awareness.
This is the first time Luo Yan has heard of such an interesting thing.
But before coming into contact with those golems, he planned to go to the fourth floor to take a look at the situation there and find out where the night elves came from.
If he could handle the relationship with the group of black-skinned and pointed-eared people, he could use them to hold another meeting and "catch all" the lords on the first five floors of the maze.
This is much more efficient than chewing it layer by layer.
"...Master Demon King, what kind of potion is this?" Looking at the Demon King shaking the dark green flask, Yoyo floating aside asked curiously.
"This is a disguise potion, used to change the appearance." Waiting for the impurities in the flask to settle at the bottom, Luo Yan skillfully took away the upper test solution and sealed it in a reagent bottle the thickness of his index finger.
This stuff is a banned drug in the Magic City, but it is not restricted outside the Magic City.
By taking the disguise potion, except that you cannot change your height or race, you can change your face into what you want within a certain period of time...even elongate your ears to disguise yourself as an elf.
Of course, he doesn’t want to turn into an elf, it’s just to fine-tune his appearance when necessary and make him look a little more low-key.
This is to make it easier for you to integrate into the group of adventurers, and secondly to avoid being recognized.
It is said that there will be more adventurers on the fourth floor of the maze. There is even an outpost established by the Adventurer's Guild there, which is similar to a safe zone.
When he gets to the fourth floor, Luo Yan plans to pretend to be an adventurer and go there to have a look.
For this reason, he also specially entrusted the Silverpine Town Adventurer Guild to get a black iron-level identity card for him and Sarah respectively, just in case of emergency.
By the way, his adventurer’s name is Luo Luo, and his registered race is human. Sarah is just called Sarah, but the registered race is not a demon, but a beast.
However, although Luo Yan planned it this way, Youyou didn't know about it and instead asked in surprise.
"Change your appearance? Lord Demon King, aren't you handsome enough?"
Luo Yan was delighted when he heard this and replied with a smile.
"It's because I'm so handsome that I'm worried that people who shouldn't remember me will recognize me at a glance."
Yuyou couldn't help but be surprised.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that the Demon King is more shameless than usual.
In addition to the disguise potion, there are also red potions, blue potions, antidotes, etc. that may be used in adventures. Luo Yan also prepared some and put them in two backpacks.
Including coins from the human world and some dry food.
Especially the former, you might be able to use it when you get to the outpost of the Adventurer's Guild.
Looking at Sarah waiting at the door, he handed one of the backpacks to the latter.
"Let's go, let's go to the fourth floor today."
Sarah nodded seriously after taking the package and asked thoughtfully.
"Do you need me to call others?"
She usually informs Octor or Arakdo that they are gathering in the Blood Hall on the first floor of the maze.
But this time, the Demon King's answer was beyond her expectation.
