Chapter Thirty-Seven: Elemental Fire Spirit
Communicate with other humans in the stars and share a wonderful paradise, but, Uncle Tirdra, do you really believe that when you enter the starry sky, there is heaven? Takmilla asked
"A peaceful country, no matter how well governed, there are still thefts, robberies, and killings, not to mention the different races living together in the starry sky, I think
As long as there are people, there will be evil, whether intentional or unintentional, there is never a pure land in the world, just as the gods in our mythology will also have divine wars
What even God can't avoid, how can we humans avoid it? The so-called paradise is just a yearning in people's hearts, and it cannot be taken seriously, only strength is the most important condition to ensure their own safety. ”
.....
When Shen Mu came to the Starlight Capital, he was immediately confused by this modern city, and for a while he couldn't tell whether this was the earth or the other world
I saw the small high-rise villas of five or six floors, which were vaguely scattered with the environment, and the huge trees and small jungles that could be seen everywhere were dotted in the city, and the wide roads were driven by cars using electric energy from time to time
From time to time, there are animal carts pulling truckloads of various goods in and out of the city
People of all races were dressed in animal skins, or riding pets, or dressed as mercenaries, or down-and-out civilians, hurrying up and down the streets, but their faces were full of joy and pride
From afar, you can see a tall building in the center of the city: the Tower of the Stars, also known as the Temple of Starlight; This tower is not afraid of 200 meters, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, with a circle of circles
The smaller and smaller the towers are mosaic, and each floor is surrounded by a wide balcony, 99 stories high, towering into the sky, and the top can be seen even in the daytime
At night, it looks like the brightest star in the night sky, and none of the surrounding buildings are more than six stories high, which sets off the height and mystery of the Tower of Stars
The abrupt appearance of such a building in a magical world made Shen Mu feel incredible
On the edge of the city is a river called Windsor, which flows from the mountains beyond the plains, and the river is wide and gentle in the plains, making it easy to navigate
After flowing through the Starlight City, it flows left and right into the Hein, where there are often three or five cargo ships or passenger ships passing on the river
The reason why I chose to build a city here is that this water transportation is the place that the Starlight Organization attaches the most importance to
After all, the Panu Grand Canyon is very difficult to travel by land, and it is very necessary to have a smooth and convenient transportation to communicate with the outside world.
Although the minerals in the mountains are very rich, there are also many high-level demonic beasts, not everyone is a powerful person, and the miners are just ordinary people;
In today's situation, the mining difficulty is relatively high, the cost is relatively high, and the materials are mainly provided by mature mines in the eastern region.
Originally, he wanted to buy materials here and return to the other exit where he came out of the lava cave, wanting to turn that place into his own laboratory, but now he saw the city that Starlight had built
He wanted to stay here for a few more days, and his curiosity about Starlight made him want to meet Starlight's people very much
"I really didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to meet someone who can be in charge, and I actually have to enter the top ten in the science and technology competition" Shen Mu stood in the reception hall on the first floor of the Tower of Stars, with a constipated face
I didn't expect it to be so difficult to meet individuals, it's the same as those bureaucratic governments, it's hard to find a leader.
So, he had to sign up for the science and technology competition nine days later, and now he has to buy materials to make the contest items, and the competition after nine days is a process of directly judging the quality of the works
If it's a live production, it's impossible, who has time to wait for you to slowly coil and drive a car or something
Although the time is a bit tight, it is enough for Shen Mu, he has the knowledge in his head, and he can directly shape the material with high temperature, or reshape the material with ionization
This is his advantage, who told him to have this ability, the only trouble is to find a bigger place to live. It is convenient for him to buy materials and put them into a "storage bag"
It took him a long time to finally find an open and quiet place to settle down on the edge of the city, and he came to an auction house
"Sir, are you sure you want to sell these high-grade magic crystals without waiting for the auction?" A senior executive at an auction house asked
"Yes, how many gold coins are these seven magic crystals?"
"If the reserve price of the auction is 1,000 gold, but if you sell it directly, you will be given 1,31 to buy, what do you think?"
"Okay, it's done"
"Yes sir, here is a gold card of nine thousand one, please accept it, and this is a list of items to be auctioned in this issue of our auction house, if you are interested
You can register with us now to confirm, we can also arrange a place for you, of course, you can also pay a little more and enjoy the quiet private room environment;
Of course, there are still four days left before the auction, and the good things will be added from time to time, and it will not be until the day before the auction that all the final auction items will be determined."
"Yes, okay, I'll see what auction items are there first" Shen Mu took the gold card and the auction list, came to the leather sofa on the side, and slowly looked at the auction items
Shen Mu is still the first time to come to the auction house, and he has long wanted to come to see the world in the place where there are the most good things in the novel, but he had no money before, and now he feels that there are no good things in this world that are worthy of his attention
This is an auction house that integrates trading and auctioning, covering a large area, and the two floors downstairs are the trading windows for various commodities, like a big shopping mall, with ordinary magic crystals, kneaded furs, raw materials for household appliances, etc
There is a lot of traffic here, and it really makes people feel like they are visiting a shopping mall, and the third floor is up to the auction house, or a place to trade valuables, and there are not many people here at this time, only three or two occasionally
The auction items on the list do have a lot of good stuff, such as magic weapons, armor, special herbs, rare materials, and of course, there are also a lot of high-tech products, such as the latest research and development of sniper rifles, small rockets, and so on
But for him, it doesn't mean much; When turning the page of materials, the great god of the system, Katudin, suddenly spoke:
"Wait, this auction item is actually a fragment of the ship's wreckage, you need to take this thing, it seems to be left behind after the crash of the ship's ship, you must take it, I need to make sure, of course this is a mission" Catudin reminded him when he saw the wreckage of the ship
"Yes, in addition to that, you need the crash site of that ship, because that's where my temple is, and it's weird that I can't sense that place now." Gapalius also spoke up
"Well, okay, then I'll go to the auction house." Shen Mu said indifferently
"Yes, it is necessary for you to make a trip, you must know that although you can exchange the finished product with us at a high price, but you have to give out the materials, we can't conjure up materials out of thin air, and the few rare materials in the auction are still very good." Catudin reminded
"Okay, I'll do my best to gather all kinds of materials." Shen Mu listened to Catudin's words, and suddenly came to his senses, last time he wanted to exchange for a Gauss electromagnetic gun, but unfortunately he couldn't exchange it because there were no materials.
And he doesn't want to rely on the system too much, it's a pity to not use knowledge in his mind now, and it's not enough to have knowledge without practice
"Sir, these pieces of magma and fire iron are very rare, it is really our honor for you to entrust us with an auction, this is our VIP card from the auction house, please accept it, and I will arrange an elegant box for you." In a noble room
The manager of the auction house looked at the magma fire iron and said with his eyes shining, and several gray-haired appraisers next to him had red eyes at this time, and their whole bodies trembled with excitement.
He wanted to use his hand to hold the magma fire iron, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand because of the high temperature, and Shen Mu wanted to laugh
Magma fire iron is soaked in magma for many years, constantly absorbing the rich fire element, so that it has super hard and high temperature balance characteristics, plus it contains abundant fire element
It is the best choice for forging fire-based magic weapons or artifacts, and it is a treasure among treasures, and it is not an exaggeration to see it once in ten thousand years, because it is too difficult to obtain, even if there are people in this world who can resist the high temperature of magma
But how many people can resist the high pressure of magma and thus enter the magma to obtain rare materials? Its preciousness is evident from its other name: the Elemental Fire Element; It represents a fire elemental spirit born in the eternal heat
As an appraiser, it is an honor in itself to be able to witness such a legendary artifact.
It was also when these appraisers were staring at the magma and fire iron with blood-red eyes, that the metal containing the magma fire iron began to show some signs of melting due to the high temperature
The auction house hurriedly went to change into a thick Agula alloy box and kept the magma and fire iron
In the shopping mall at the bottom of this auction building, Shen Mu ordered a lot of different types of metal materials here, and only after designating the place to send them back did he go back.
The place he rented was on the edge of the city, next to a construction site in the woods to the north, which was so large that he didn't know what major works were being built
There was nothing to do in the past few days, and the various materials he ordered were also delivered the next day, and Shen Mu stayed quietly and made things for a few days
This is also the first time he has made and used scientific and technological knowledge, which he thought was very simple, but he didn't expect to make nothing on the first day
The reason is very simple: for example, he wants to build a gun, but he has not been able to grasp the size of the various parts, either making it big or small
And some parts need to use high-strength alloys, but he has always been unable to grasp the proportions when fusing metals.
Bottom line: He has no proficiency, and his grip on fire or lightning is still very rough, and he can't accurately control the temperature and the intensity of electricity.
