Chapter 132: Kalia Return
β¦β¦
Three days after the end of the Wasteland Superman event.
The rescue went very smoothly, not only saving hundreds of thousands of survivors, but also driving away a natural disaster.
A single natural disaster world belongs to a normal sequence of worlds.
Although the "pollution level" is very high, the wasteland superman only needs to persevere, and he can dispose of the flesh monsters and clear an area from scratch.
Ian also gained a lot of resources.
He's in the town of Long Sleep.
President's office.
On the table, there is a stack of 4A paper in a different style from the Magical Middle Ages, which is contained in an intelligence bag.
It is divided into three categories, which are: natural disaster information, transcendent realm, and artificial plants.
The first is the harvest in terms of natural disasters.
This is what Ian cares about most, and he explores the upper limits of the Scourge.
Thinking of this, Ian had mixed feelings:
"I thought it was going to be slow...... But I didn't expect the truth to be so simple......"
The upper limit of a natural disaster is dynamic and easy to divide.
It's limited by sequence gameplay!
That's ...... In low-sequence areas, it is impossible for high-difficulty Scourge Monsters to appear.
Ian realized this from the moment the ship first landed.
Why is the level of flesh monsters only 4~5 levels higher than the average level of Vault survivors?
They don't need game balance, and if they crush the survivors with their strength, won't they be able to win easily?
But...... There is an upper limit to their number, as well as a higher level.
In the bronze area of level 30, the highest level of silver monsters of level 35 can appear, and no higher-level monsters can appear.
Unless the monster breaks through the level through methods such as "self-devouring", this is very rare.
So the truth is simple.
The upper limit of natural disasters may be...... The upper limit of civilization.
Scourge will always be a little stronger than civilization, and under normal circumstances, players will never be able to defeat it.
But rescue operations are a special case.
Many players intervened, and easily affected the situation of the battle, which can turn defeat into victory.
Knowing this, Ian finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's okay...... Not good! β
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, something bad happened!
Question: Is the level of civilization high?
It doesn't seem high, but in fact, due to the inheritance of the previous civilization, the current civilization is incredibly strong.
It's just that they haven't flown into the sky, but each of them has what the interstellar pirates call the strength of the 'Transcendent Realm'.
That's when things go bad......
The current civilization is very strong, and natural disasters will also be very strong, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.
Ian rubbed his aching temples and pressed the matter down first.
He has a lot of debts, and he can't weigh himself down.
The second takeaway is the 'Transcendent Realm'.
Wasteland Superman has revealed how to enter the Otherworld, but the mandatory requirement is "space-age technology".
That is, to build spaceships and colonize other planets freely with technology-side capabilities.
Only by becoming a cosmic civilization can you unlock and learn the knowledge of the 'Transcendent Realm'.
That's why most players start with a "post-apocalyptic" worldview.
This worldview is very good, it has advanced technology, resources are extremely scarce, and science and technology are faulty.
The difficulty level is always moderate, and the experience is not boring.
Of course...... Ian would rather be simple than boring, and not want to go through some kind of degradation war, a hierarchical universe......
The third harvest is "artificial plants".
The evergreen planting that Ian had been thinking about finally had hope.
He needs explosive arrow output, and can also deal group damage.
Other adventurers can also use some means to craft explosive arrows and use them.
At the same time, the field of artificial plants also includes "medicine".
Grow some herbs that have been genetically modified and wait for them to mature, then you can extract the substances inside and make medicines.
Good news, this is compatible with alchemy, and Ian can replace the entire process on the tech side with alchemy.
That's all there is to it.
The rest of the monster materials, Ian didn't count, they weren't too good, and because they were a natural disaster on the technology side, many of them couldn't be used.
Ian draw ends.
He drained the entire prize pool and obtained the "Immortal Slash" and a purple skill that he could use.
[Name: Kalia style return]
[Source: Elden Ring]
[Quality: Purple]
[Effect: Able to wield a cane, eliminate magic and prayer, and then use the power it bears to turn into a floating sword.] γ
[Description: The magic of the Kalia royal family secretly guarding against the Academy.] When did the moon and the stars part? γ
[To learn this skill, you need to consume 1 skill point.] γ
To put it simply, it is an active type of "rebound".
By consuming a certain amount of mana, the things that belong to the spell attack are eliminated, and then a "Floating Radiant Sword" is condensed.
It can be seen as fending off attacks and then counterattacking from a distance.
When confronted with danger, Ian has a new choice instead of just dodging.
Bang bang bang β
There was a knock on the door to the president's room.
He is the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, and Ian doesn't know his name.
"President, there is news from the expedition that the kingdom called 'Red Dragon' has unearthed ancient ruins."
The name of the Red Dragon Kingdom......
Ian looked up and asked, "What is the relationship between that kingdom and the red dragon?" β
"It's just a coincidence, they're the kingdom of the Terrans."
That's fine, Ian still thinks that humans and dragons will build a better world together.
"Let's go and have a look."
Important information on ancient ruins, but I didn't bring it back, it seems to be a special type.
Ian opens the drawer and finds a golden jingle inside.
He pinched the shake.
Jingle jingle bells.
A golden jingle rang, and a moment later, a portal opened in the guild's room.
"Gatekeeper! Is there something going on? β
The leading grass elf asked, and the grass elf behind him answered.
"It must be teleported, there are very few mages on the continent now."
After the demotion war, the mages who had the ability to teleport on the continent were reduced by nine layers in an instant.
Teleportation over long distances requires talent, and it also requires the caster's stats to match.
This stumped the mages, who didn't understand that.
"Go to the Red Dragon Country. I'll bother you, I'll pay for you. β
Ian placed the map with the destination in front of the Grass Elves.
People who need to go to the Red Dragon Kingdom form a team.
The Grass Elves began to cast spells, and there was no denying that they were the best at teleporting from a distance.
"Let's go!"
The light flickered, and a cacophony poured into Ian's ears.
They came to the Red Dragon Kingdom, thousands of miles away.
Periphery, archaeological area.
A large hole had been dug into a clearing, revealing half of the ancient ruins.
When the kingdom messenger saw Ian, he bowed respectfully:
"Gatekeeper, welcome to the Red Dragon Nation."
Ian's heroism in the degrading war has impressed a large number of Terrans, and their trust in Ian is higher than that of the Adventurers' Guild.
Compared with Ian's "president" status, his "gatekeeper" identity is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Please come with me, the expedition team is already waiting at the destination."
The team walked for ten minutes before finally entering the ancient ruins.
"Dig so big?"
Once again, the Grass Elves play to their inquisitive nature.
"It's like a worm! The kind of drilling around in the ground...... Hmm β
A grass elf was talking, when suddenly her companion covered her mouth.
"It's a very rude word, don't say it again."
"But...... I didn't learn human etiquette. β
The stone door slowly opened.
What appeared before Ian's eyes was a spacious, temple-like structure.
His pupils shrank, and he immediately realized where he had seen this scene in front of him.
"After investigation...... This seems to be the temple of the ancestors...... What do you call it......"
The messenger muttered to himself.
Ian said, "Faction, this is the temple of the Demoted faction. β
It seems that this time, there is not much useful information to be obtained.
Ian already knew about the "Demositizer" and at the same time learned about the "Hourglass of Time" from Blanton.
It was here that the people of the Demoted faction placed another hourglass on the altar and created a faction called the "Demoted Faction".
He condensed the Dream Nail and collected the dream language here.
Some of what is already known is skipped, and the rest of the inconsequential content is also skipped by Ian.
Just when he thought that this time it was for nothing and there would be no gain, a dream condensed.
"Our World...... Death seems to be missing, but as long as the demotion ritual is successful, death can be filled.'
This is normal, but the dream words after that made Ian's pupils tremble.
"Behemoth, we need to know what it does, it needs to be tightly controlled."
"Since it's a patch for the concept of death, it may get a lot of [death], and we need to look for ...... Where are they hidden?'
"It will be useful in the future, and our plan will definitely succeed......
Behemoth is the name of a pre-civilization.
Its function is to "collect death", and the death it collects seems to be preserved in the form of matter.
"I already know the specific situation, if there are other discoveries, please notify me in time."
After Ian finished speaking, the messenger nodded hurriedly.
Information about 'death' is so important, let alone ...... Ian has found the key to this clue.
Borrow the Grass Elve's teleportation again and arrive at the town of Long Sleep, where the Grass Elves will rest for a few days.
Ian returns to the guild's office and pulls out the Blightbringer.
This dagger, which causes damage and makes people sick, is a piece of equipment he acquired in a ruin.
It's actually part of the truth.
[Blight Messenger: A weapon forged by a huge amount of death in a cold and damp environment, attached to the evil ability to infect the injured with malignant diseases. γ
Yes, this weapon is not made of matter, but is forged from Behemoth, and the material used is death.
Ian didn't quite understand what Behemoth meant, and it didn't look like the type that could be forged.
The Blightbringer gave Ian a guess.
He might be able to forge a dagger out of death and investigate the "Death Concept Patch", which is a very good thing, after all, they are of the same origin.
The missing part of the world of death is in his hands.
"This clue needs to be recorded."
"Perhaps, there is another 'death equipment'."
Ian refers to death-forged equipment simply as death equipment, and these equipment must have their purpose, not just their apparent quality.
After sorting out the current information, he looked at the planting area outside.
A field had already been cultivated, watered, and the first herbs had been planted.
Ian goes to the middle and releases his skill after making sure that he can cover all the herbs.
"Plants Rise Instantly!"
This ability is a drop from the Luna Tree.
The effect is to instantly ripen plants within a certain range, and these herbs from the wasteland superhuman world belong to Ian's goal.
As the ability triggers, the green magic spreads into the seeds, speeding up their growth and skipping the growth phase quickly.
When the person in charge of the plantation noticed the unusual movement, he immediately came out to check it.
She was relieved when she found out it was Ian.
After all, this medicine field is an important area that Ian has told him to protect well.
As she was thinking, she suddenly saw a green leaf sticking out of the soil.
"Huh?"
The person in charge was stunned.
How did you grow so fast? It was planted just a few hours ago.
Wrong!
"It's magic."
The person in charge felt the traces of magic in the vicinity, and instantly understood Ian's actions just now.
Just now, Ian unleashed his magic and ripened this large piece of medicinal herb.
Now, they have grown to the final stage and are ready to be harvested directly!
Ian crouches down and plucks a leaf of a ripe herb.
The sequence system shows the information of the herb.
[Name: Berserk Grass (A spiritual herb that makes people angry and irritable after use, and attacks other targets indiscriminately)]
That's where it comes in.
All you need to do is extract the contents to make the Ares Rage Potion.
Ian had other things, the work of harvesting herbs, which needed to be handed over to someone else.
"President!" The person in charge waved his hand.
"Do you need to harvest these herbs and plant another batch?"
Plant another batch......
Ian thought quickly: "Harvest first, don't plant, I'll have news later." β
"Got it!"
Ian turned to leave.
The reason why he didn't plant first was because he drew some items that could be used.
γName:Wholesaler walkie-talkieγ
[Source: Rimworld/Rimworld]
[Quality: Blue]
[Effect: Activate the walkie-talkie and summon a trade ship from the "Shining World", and they use silver as coins.]
Before trading, make sure you have enough Silver, as other valuable items can be sold.
Trade ships are unmanned, and damage will affect your friendship with factions. γ
Trading props on the technology side.
After use, summons a trade ship that can be traded.
A trader from the game world, Ian wasn't sure if the item would work.
However, he now happens to have a batch of silver, and he has also obtained some Scourge materials, which can be used to trade.
Ian pressed the walkie-talkie in his hand.
Ask for a follow-up, ask for a monthly pass!
