As soon as Qin Lan's consciousness was closed, he returned to the consciousness space.

It seemed that the faces of Jiang Yu and Wei Wen appeared in front of him again, and Qin Lan began to think about a solution.

Although there is a distant danger of crystal beasts, the Jiang family and the Wei family will secretly leave the city and leave after three days. They were accompanied by the last money and food that the inhabitants of the city relied on for their survival, as well as the property that had been exploited from the people during these years.

Even if these two families can't let go, Qin Lan will definitely make them pay the price.

But he also knows that this money and food are the main thing.

Without these money and food, even if Qin Lan successfully resisted the crystal beast, the entire city would collapse due to the lack of supplies.

As a god-level refining master, Qin Lan can naturally refine some money and food to tide over the difficulties for the small city.

It can be refined, and soul power is required.

At present, Qin Lan's soul power is only the size of a bowling ball, so he must save a little.

"According to the amount of soul power......

In Qin Lan's mind, the best solution appeared.

The next moment.

"That'...... What's that?"

"Glowing ...... Ravine??"

The people in Yuancheng were in a collective uproar.

Inside Yuan City, a huge magic circle that was enough to envelop the entire city suddenly appeared!

The earth shook, and at the boundary of the circle, the earth and stone were attracted by a dark force and slowly soared into the air......

Under the gaze of the people, these vacated earth and rocks, at a position of about 10 meters in the air, suddenly seemed to be decomposed, and all disappeared!

And at the same time, 50 meters above the sky.

Qin Lan was watching all this with cold eyes......

The circle disappeared, and the commotion just now was also dyed with a touch of mystery.

No one can imagine it......

These shallow ravines all over Yuan City actually formed an incomparably huge, refining array!!

A day later.

In Qin Lan's consciousness space, the soul power that was originally the size of a bowling ball became a piece the size of a fingernail.

"It's okay, barely done. ”

Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of him, five iron puppets appeared.

These five puppets are all human-like, but their whole bodies exude a metallic color, and their appearance and movements are very dull, and they are not living at first glance.

Qin Lan's consciousness moved, and he gave an order.

The eyes of the five puppets quickly changed, and the human arms quickly deformed, turning into a pair of sharp gears.

The wide and sturdy upper body also thins quickly. The legs, which were normally proportioned, were elongated, the joints were broken, and the inside was completely connected by a strong filament. It's as if the lost parts of the upper body have been completely transferred to the legs.

The next moment, the gears on the puppet's hand spun at high speed, exuding a terrifying killing aura.

"Disarm attack mode. ”

Qin Lan ordered.

The moment it received Qin Lan's order, the puppet immediately began to transform and returned to its original appearance.

"Not bad. ”

Qin Lan was more satisfied.

These puppets are the degraded versions of the 'Type 2 Puppets' that he accidentally created after he became a master of refining in his previous life.

The reason why they are called Type 2 golems is that they have two modes.

One is the 'Guardian' mode, which is the norm of the Meat Shield mode.

The second mode is the 'attack' mode that Qin Lan transforms after giving the order. This mode sacrifices defense in favor of increased speed and attack.

Because of the lack of soul power, Qin Lan could only refine into a deteriorated version of this type 2 puppet.

"Fortunately, with the help of Yuan Cheng's power, otherwise I would have been able to refine it into a more deteriorated version of the puppet. And that super-deteriorated version...... How much combat power is unknown. ”

Generally speaking, refining can be divided into two steps.

The first step is to decompose the material and use the 'solution array' to return the material to the quality form.

Quality is the basic element of composition. Everything in the world is made up of its own qualities.

The second step is to reconstruct the structure using the materials of the quality form, and then further use the refining array to refine it.

If the quality of the material to be solved is different from the quality of the thing to be refined, an additional step of 'reconstructing the form of quality' will be added between the two parts.

Of course, this step also requires a lot of soul power, and it is more difficult.

This method is only used if the desired material is temporarily difficult to obtain.

Qin Lan set up a 'solution array' throughout the entire Yuan City to decompose the sand and gravel.

The quality of the sand and gravel is different from the quality form he wants to make into a puppet, so he uses the power of Yuancheng to reconstruct and reorganize the form of the quality of the sand and gravel after the first part.

Yuan Cheng is him, he is Yuan City, with the blessing of Yuan City, the soul power required to reconstruct the quality form is reduced to a minimum.

In this way, he will have enough soul power output to refine a puppet with the quality of the solution.

If it was him 20,000 years ago, it would only take ten seconds to refine these puppets.

After all, for Qin Lan, these puppets were like toys for babies.

But at this time, soul power was too scarce, and in order to save soul power, Qin Lan could only use a lot of time and use more complex methods to refine it.

Thankfully, it was done.

This also means......

The Jiang family and the Wei family.

In Yuancheng, I don't know how many years of good life are about to come to an end in the hands of these puppets.

However, Qin Lan did not go to Jiang Wei's family as soon as possible.

He had other plans.

After all, he now exists in the form of a conscious soul.

In today's world where there are no warriors, most people can't see him.

And there are many things, Qin Lan is not ready to do it himself.

Inside Yuan City, it became crucial to find a chess piece that he could drive.

This chess piece can make it more convenient for Qin Lan to control Yuancheng and establish prestige within Yuancheng!

And in Qin Lan's heart, he already had a personal choice.

Metaverse, dungeon.

Liu Yunding was sleeping soundly at this time.

Qin Lan also sighed slightly when she saw this scene.

Sure enough, it's a man.

In such a situation, you can still sleep so sweetly.

Liu Yunding was already in the hearts of the people of Yuancheng and had a certain prestige.

is currently the best candidate for chess pieces.

Dangdangdang......

The puppet walked out of Qin Lan's consciousness space and stepped on the ground of the dungeon, making a crisp sound.

"Who?"

Liu Yunding was very vigilant, and immediately straightened up and looked around. The next moment, he spotted the Type 2 puppet standing at the door of the cell.

"Hmph, you're so impatient. It's only been a short day, can't you wait?" Liu Yunding sneered, obviously taking these five Type 2 puppets as people from the Jiang and Wei families.

However, under Liu Yunding's taunt, the second-type puppet remained motionless, and his facial expression did not change for a minute, so he looked at him straightly.

"Are you stupid, can't you hear me?"

The puppet still didn't move.

was stared at by the puppet's eyes, and the scene was very weird.

Liu Yunding finally discovered that the puppets standing in front of him were not people!!

Shocked by this discovery, he broke out in a cold sweat, and the sweat soaked the bandage wrapped around his waist, making the bandage appear a hint of redness.

"You ...... Who is it?" Liu Yunding forcibly asked, holding back the fear in his heart.

He had also heard that some extremely powerful craftsmen could create 'machine people' who acted like humans.

However, most of these organs are extremely shoddy, and they are mostly used for production, so they have no combat effectiveness. But the people in front of him were not the same category as the people he had heard of. He was also a martial arts practitioner, and just by standing in front of these five Type 2 puppets, he could feel the stern murderous aura on their bodies......

At the same time, he also realized.

The owners of these five organs are definitely not the Jiang Wei family!

With the financial resources of the Jiang and Wei families, they would definitely not be able to afford this extremely rare combat-type machine.

And at this moment, these five mechanical figures are still in the cell......

Liu Yunding's mind was spinning fast, and at this moment, a flame of hope ignited in his mind!

Poof!

Liu Yunding got up with difficulty and knelt directly on the ground.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is, and I don't know why Your Excellency came to Xiaomin's cell. ”

"But, Xiaomin cheekily begged my lord, please save our Yuancheng!!"

"We, the people of Yuancheng, have lived in fire and water over the years, and have suffered for a long time from the hegemony of the Jiang and Wei families. Every year, most of the income is forced to be handed over to these two bastards, and the money and food left over by their own families are simply barely surviving. In a year with a bad harvest, a large number of people will starve to death......"

"Yesterday, these two families came to take away the last bit of money and food from everyone's family in the name of resisting the crystal beast. If this continues, even if they successfully resist the tide of crystal beasts, everyone will starve to death at home!!"

"Please save the people of our Yuan City...... I, Liu Yunding, am willing to be a cow and a horse, and give my all!"

In mid-air, Qin Lan smiled when she heard Liu Yunding's words.

Originally, he also prepared a lot of rhetoric to convince Liu Yunding.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yunding begged for it himself.

"He is a man with affection and righteousness!"

Qin Lan waved his big hand, and a refining array took shape in his hand.

Make use of the remaining dirt qualities from the puppet you were previously refined.

"I, accept your request!"

A ** and sacred, as if an ancient voice came from ancient times, sounded in Liu Yunding's ears.
