Chapter 1042 If you can't innovate in gameplay, then it's better to improve the quality of your hardware

"The Bone King's Hunting Hammer! A divine weapon that dominates the quality, the system certification is absolutely not false, with the entries [Hunting Aura], [Tenacity Strike] and [Brute Force Blessing of the Fallen God], which can be strengthened twice, and can also apply enchantments.

Limit the use of races to large creatures, so don't shoot humans, halflings, and dwarves players, this thing is for mountain dwellers and gnolls.

The starting price is 3,000 gold!

Each bid price cannot be less than 500, and there is no upper limit! Bidding begins! ”

On the edge of a muddy battlefield, players who had just completed the first wave of expulsion of the filthy gnolls and survived the fierce war were gathering on a high ground for an auction of the Bone King's loot.

Several pieces of equipment auctioned this time are high-level items dropped by the world boss "Gelman Chaos Vanguard", because the number of people participating in the battle is too large and they belong to several camps and there is no way to distribute them privately, after some negotiation, everyone decided to adopt the most primitive and fair "G group" model to decide the ownership.

Gelman doesn't drop many things, but the quality is quite good, showing his noble status as the Biting Bone King.

However, these good things are somewhat meaningless for the current top players and god killers, especially the small group of people at the top of the players, who basically have weapons and armor evaluated by "divine weapons" in their hands, and they don't look down on the forging process of jackals.

It's going to be a fun place here.

Most of these drops are destined to fall into the hands of powerful guilds, but it is not for nothing that all players who participate in the battle will receive a generous distribution of gold, especially the gnolls of the Blue Wolf Army.

The death of Gelman Biting allowed them to successfully complete the second link of their race's main story, and then go back to the Plains of Creation to hand over the task to the virtuous wolf Hogg and get a reward from him for the genetic enhancement of the biopod, even if they return empty-handed in the equipment auction this time, it will be a lot of money.

Of course, the abrupt formatting of the Creator's facility is a big problem, but the rewards are there, and at most they will be delayed according to the progress of the plot, and it will never go missing out of thin air.

Besides, isn't the next 0 plot going deep into the Songhai Empire to find a way to restart the Creator's facility?

It's obviously a connected plot, so there's no need to worry too much about it at all.

The crowd of players below bid positively, especially Chenlong's group, who shouted the price of weapons to more than 30,000 gold in a few minutes, and there are very few players who can compete with them in this range, but it is not nothing.

For example, Brother Xiaofu will discuss with Xiao Weiming to make a little gold coins first to deal with emergencies.

His goal wasn't the hammer, but the hunting armor left behind by Gelman Bitten, which had a rare "spirit fitness" entry, which happened to be used for his Minotaur War Spirit Black, and Gelman's Chieftain Wolf Saddle, which was perfect for the Manticore's Stinky Treasure, which had recently become larger.

These bigwigs always play games differently than ordinary players, and real ordinary players will not have the time or money to come to this "high-end" auction.

Although the Filthy Gnoll has been defeated, the Great Gon Fishmen in the rear are still wreaking havoc, and the first settlement of the catch-up event "Feast of the Wild Fish" is two days later, and ordinary players are holding back their efforts to prepare for the change.

In this happy environment, Master Murphy, who was in a happy mood because of the short marshal, did not disturb the players' interest in indulging in the distribution of loot, and the Murphy's Hammer airship above the sky was changing course.

It will depart in a few minutes for the return to the port of Chardo.

The ship's ammunition had been depleted in the past few battles, and it had to be returned to port to replenish it, and by the way, several armed airships that the halflings had urgently modified during this time were also brought back to form a complete bombing formation, so as to carry out a resolute attack on the demons and monsters that roamed the northern land of the Genoese Peninsula.

Murphy returned with Soy Milk and Serac Fanta, as well as the team of airship technicians attached to the two.

They have been officially hired by the Steam Lords as "Chardeau's Bombing Tactics Instructors" to teach the Halflings the Bombing Philosophy of the Transancians to the Halflings Airship Commanders in the shortest possible time.

This is the most suitable war technique for halflings that the Steam Lords have come up with after several consultations.

With no individual strength at all, these little men try to make up for their shortcomings with advanced mechanical technology.

Of course, in order to better implement the military science and technology tree of the "firepower superiority" theory that has just been lit, the halflings also spent a "lot of money" to introduce a full set of production technologies for incendiary aerial bombs and white phosphorus aerial bombs from the hands of the Translancian people.

These short men really have money in their hands, so that Maxim, who wanted to refuse the transfer of technology, could not speak hard.

Moreover, the halflings have a rather extreme style, since they decided to introduce it, they not only introduced aerial bomb technology, but also bought all the third-generation military rifle "Berserker" in Transncia and a series of weapons developed for the advancement of the Black Plague.

Even the butterfly thunder, which is too anti-human, is still accepted, and what stands out is the arrogance of "buying, buying, buying" and the anxiety of "rushing to the doctor in a hurry".

However, they didn't introduce the highest-end dragoon technology in Translancia at the moment, mainly because the full set of production techniques for this thing is in the hands of the halflings, especially the wet core, the source of which is the forbidden technology that flows out of the hands of the halflings.

They can make it whenever they want, and the only thing that limits them is to overcome moral and ethical barriers and find warrior spirits who are brave enough.

The former one is easy to solve, and the latter one uh, at least the halfling is in the current state of this cowardly group, and it is likely to be disappointed if you want to find it in your own population.

In short, the Transia official made a hard deal of money in this arms storage of the halflings, although Maxim was worried that the advantages of the People's Army would no longer exist after the proliferation of technology, but Murphy felt that the pattern of his monster general was still not opened.

"Because, the First National Arsenal is already developing a new generation of war weapons."

In the captain's room of the Murphy's Hammer, Murphy sat at his desk and explained to Maxim in front of him:

"For us, bombing airships are a technology that is 'about to become obsolete', and there is a blueprint for the 'smart bombs' that have been researched and produced to replace the aerial bombs that cannot be bombed accurately.

There is a similar concept of weapons in the world of the Gentiles, who rely on specialized orbs of operation to achieve short-term maneuverability and precision in the pursuit of the enemy, and in our next-generation warfare system, every incendiary bomb we drop will land on the enemy's head in a more lethal manner.

The development of individual weapons is also progressing faster than you think, Mark.

The Berserker rifle is good, but it's not good enough, and after half a year at most, our warriors will have wilder firepower, and what is even more commendable is that the master weapons of the Gentiles are not simply copying the blueprints, just like developing precision bombs, they have localized and improved their technology.

I've heard that they're working on a special automatic weapon whose ammunition will be ignited by burning gold crystals instead of traditional flames, and whose preset destructive power can easily crush the ogre's body.

The wild mechanics were going to call it 'Shotgun'.

But because of the copyright issue, they made a change and called it the 'Destruction Gun'. ”

"It seems that I have been on the front line for too long, and I am at a loss for a series of changes in the rear, this is my mistake, master, I will definitely go to our arsenal to seriously investigate after I go back this time, and I will definitely not make similar problems again."

Maxim was relieved when he heard this explanation.

He hugged his gown and military cap, and said to Murphy:

"Then I will continue to stay here and supervise the battle, and lead our warriors to clean up the filthy gnolls that remain in this land of suffering, and then lead the expeditionary force back to the Maginot Line by the route of Lake Shulpers.

I am here to wish you a safe journey back to Puerto Chardo. ”

"Well, by the way, take some time to live with Leenia, Mark."

Murphy smiled and said:

"She has been freed, and the rest of her life is destined to create a new story with you, I know that you are a reserved and conservative character, but in front of Leonia, you may be appropriately presumptuous, and she may also expect you to be presumptuous.

Also, Mark, can you explain what the tattoo on your arm is all about? Why did you suddenly fall in love with this style?

Are you planning to abandon your old style and become a 'midnight bad boy' who smokes, drinks, and burns his hair with tattoos? ”

The vampire lord asked, causing Maxim to subconsciously touch his left arm.

He thought he had hidden well enough, but he was discovered by the observant Murphy.

Under Murphy's gaze, a slightly embarrassed Maxim took off his military jacket, and when the sleeves of his muscular shirt were rolled up, he could clearly see Maxim's tattoo on his arm, which was a motto he had written for himself:

"By dedicating ourselves to the payment of the original sin at midnight, may we find peace in the quiet and beautiful night."

Maxim stroked the tattoo on his arm, and he whispered:

"It's not the product of my individuality, it's because I've seen the terrible sins that have occurred in the last epoch, and my lord, after you have awakened my original sin rage with the midnight echoes, I can recall fragments of those terrible things in every sunlit sleep since.

I am aware that those sins are imprinted in the depths of our souls in the transmission of blood, and that we cannot be forgiven and accepted by the world until it is washed away.

In fact, it's not just me, but many Blood Vulture warriors have similar feelings and feelings.

Even more than just the Blood Vultures, I've noticed that the Wolf Venom and the Blood Alliance clans have similar 'Awakened', but any vampire who has received the Midnight Echo Aura will see a similar sight.

I don't think that's a bad thing.

After all, once vampires were eternal beings without a goal, and we fell willingly in the temptation of midnight, but now it is different, we have found something worth fighting for a lifetime, and that is a duty that every vampire cannot escape.

I chose this tattoo to remind myself of where my real enemies come from!

And I believe that under your leadership, we will eventually reach the dawn of redemption across the eternal night. ”

"Oh my God."

After listening to the explanation, Murphy covered his eyes and lamented:

"Triss and Lord Pa Ying have not finished sorting out the Midnight Canon, and you have begun to spontaneously transform into a fanatic, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is certain that you will definitely have a place in our belief system in the future.

In addition, the organ enhancement project on Flynn Sr.'s side is likely to progress in the near future, and you will need to select loyal and talented elite members from the Blood Vulture Clan to receive the first batch of three enhancements.

Our collaborators in the Astral Plane are gathering reinforcement materials for us.

This operation needs to be carried out in secret, so I'm leaving it to you, and I look forward to seeing what will happen from the R-9 base with your help as I travel to the Land of Origin. ”

"I will live up to my trust, master!"

Mark gave a military salute and turned to leave.

A few minutes later, the Murphy's Hammer began to accelerate back to port at high altitude.

The journey went well, and at the end of Murphy's initial edits to the next DLC, the airship landed on the platform in the port of Chardo.

But before Murphy could return to the embassy to take a break, a special manned walker appeared on the airship platform, and Minks, dressed in a mechanic's uniform, stepped out of it, waved at Murphy with a mechanical cane, and motioned for him to sit in his car.

The efficiency-minded mechanic didn't waste any time in greeting him, and as the manned walker started heading towards the city's factory, Minks took out a specially shaped Orb module from his bosom, stroked it with nostalgia, and then handed it to Murphy with both hands.

The appearance of this Computing Orb module is quite quaint, not much different from the core orb in Murphy's hand, but the orb in front of him is red.

Item identification is activated when Murphy touches it, and the entry pops up in the next second:

Name: Integrated Advanced Computing Orb Module, Unnamed

Quality: Miracle Creation, Mystic Engineering Branch

Item characteristics: super-dimensional computing, mobile signal station, independent communication network core, integrated command interface, super storage, managed control structure, anti-interference module, complex data encryption

Item Effects:

1. Super Workstation:

The Compute Orb module is made with a part of the Creator Engineering concept, and the seemingly traditional form factor hides an internal computing structure made of Creator Engineering components, making it powerful enough to go far beyond the performance of the Contemporary Computing Orb.

Handcrafted by the Academics, this item is the culmination of the latter's work in the field of arcane engineering, with an internal basic data storage capacity of 30 times that of the 4th Generation Algorithm Orb, 10 times faster than the latter, a visual command interface, and instrument customization capabilities.

When using this item, it can be connected to the operating system of the Creator's Relic with low-to-medium privileges through the auto-escrow function, and temporary access rights can be automatically obtained.

When using this item, it can be used as an operation core to automatically connect to all the subordinate Orbs in the user's psionic environment, and form a communication network that works independently and communicates and receives various information.

When using this item, it can automatically track all data signals connected to the item, and accurately capture and counter twenty of them at the same time.

When using this item, it can forcibly take over all Steam Engineering and Arcane Engineering Creation Command Modules within 1500 yards of the user's area, passively confusing the target's identification of friend and foe, and issuing combat, shutdown, and takeover commands.

2,000-Year Bug Offensive:

Spyk Flywheel and his good student Ruyi personally wrote a set of active attack instructions for the Orb module.

Based on the effective principle of the Atlas Network Virus, when the user activates the attack command, the control system of the specified mechanical target will be attacked multiple times, causing special effects including [Overheating], [Shutdown], [System Damage], [Formatting], [Trojan Horse Infestation], [Worm Countermeasures], [Firewall Blasting] and other special effects.

Prompt!

This feature only works on Steam Engineering and Arcane Engineering creations, as the Compute Orb module uses the Creator technology process, so it can also work on some low-level Creator technologies.

Maker: "Scholar" Bach Sr. Gas Lamp

Improver: Minks Steam Valve / Ssulfo Flywheel / Wishful Knowing My Heart

Item Description:

[Young vampire's first magical version of the Plague Death XP portable workstation, you deserve it!] 】

"That's a nice thing."

Murphy played with the core of the new Orb of Calculations in his hand, and he glanced at Minks and asked:

"All the materials left by Bach Sr. have been copied?"

"Well, it's all stored in the big database of Chardo Harbor, and Senior Brother Flywheel and I have organized a group of mechanical masters to study intensively, but it is still quite difficult to understand the principles of arcane engineering in a short period of time.

However, we learned from the pragmatists and at least mastered the more advanced techniques of making the Orb. ”

Minks smiled and looked out the window at the city being rebuilt, and he whispered:

"Under the guidance of the mentor's amazing wisdom, we can finally mass produce the fourth-generation computing orb and look forward to the fifth-generation orb with leapfrog technology, and the technology system of the port of Chardo will also usher in a wave of great improvements.

But we have some disagreements on how to rebuild the system.

This is a disagreement that belongs to the researchers.

But regardless of the outcome, the isolationist technology of the past, which was not touched by the smell of power but was not grounded, is over.

The war has forever changed the port of Chardeau and the halflings, and has made us realize that we can no longer bury our heads in the ground, pretend not to hear the bullets that pass overhead, and no longer pretend that nothing is happening.

In the era that followed, all the surviving halflings would be more active in joining the continent's affairs.

Furthermore, I have been able to announce to you by formal notice that Professor Malcolm's seventh proposal was adopted in the discussion last evening.

The Chardo Craftsman University will build a college near the Andarmar Hills in Transencia, to be hosted by the expelled Mechanical Church, which will teach general education and academic research in mechanical engineering.

It will also serve as the headquarters of the Church of the Mechanics in Translancia, and Marvin and I will discuss this in more detail.

However, the construction of that academy and the subsequent introduction of funds were the responsibility of the Translancians. ”

"Of course, I'm willing to pay for this valuable knowledge, not to mention that we've made a lot of money from you."

Murphy smiled, plucked off his original core orb, and hung the more powerful core orb around his neck.

He stroked it, and in that red shimmer beating, he said:

"I should probably give this little baby a name: it was born at the hands of a dead and resurrected bastard, so let's call it 'the afterlife'. May this power of the dead be used in the right way, and then, Lord Minks, I have a deal to do with you.

The fact that the port of Chardon far exceeds the average production capacity of this continent is wasted in vain, and is not in the common interest of both of us and the entire camp of civilizations.

Your dormant machine factories should roar again, and this time what they produce will exist for a greater purpose. ”
