Chapter 53: Do I Want to Be a Member?
Despite losing almost all of his gear during the last run, the Auto-Gnome Black has hidden a "Teleportation" scroll in his mechanism structure in case she needs it, and now is the time to activate it.
Within 10 minutes of releasing the Atlas Teleportation, Tila explained to Chen the reason for the rollover on their last adventure and the purpose of their trip to the Asta plane.
The reason for the overturn is mainly because, unlike the last time Chen Zhou joined the temporary adventure team, this team is an adventurer known as "Indiscriminate Fish".
In short, it is a person who has almost no combat effectiveness, even if he encounters an enemy of the same level in the occasion of 4 to 1, he may be wiped out.
After all, the Dorval Penguins are essentially merchants rather than adventurers, and although the automatic gnome can be used in combat, the warrior monk class conflicts with its body, resulting in it not being able to perform its true performance.
"It's unbelievable that the heart of this automatic dwarf is a space hamster!"
During the conversation, Jerry, who has telepathy, is pleasantly surprised to discover the hamster that acts as the "heart" of the dwarf.
By running a roller inside it, the enlightened space hamster powers the actions of the automatic gnomes.
And "Little Black" is also the name of the space hamster.
Chen Zhou was amazed: "It turns out that you can really use hamsters to drive machinery, is this considered clean energy?" ”
After more than a year, he still can't understand the whims of the gnomes.
"But this also leads to my daily lack of energy, after all, as you know, the distance that space hamsters run every day is basically fixed."
Xiao Hei complained helplessly: "Compared with hamsters, the designer should really give me energy with better battery life." ”
"It's so fashionable! The power provided by space hamsters may not be enough, but if it is another creature...... Why should the dragon act as its heart?'
Lily catches up with the gnome's brainstorming at breakneck speed, and vaguely perceives its designer's original intention to use the automatic gnome's heart as a replaceable part.
According to Xiao Hei, the hidden performance of its body is actually very powerful and expansive, but the space hamster can't fully exert it.
In other words, if you put in more energy, you can achieve performance comparable to that of Gundam!
"But Lily doesn't want to step on the wheel."
This is the biggest problem that limits the performance of Xiao Hei, the roller inside is not mechanically rotating, but stepping on different parts according to demand, more like a dancing machine that can turn.
This makes it impossible to automate it under normal circumstances.
Chen Zhou has mixed feelings, this automatic dwarf is really a ghost work with equally profound advantages and disadvantages......
"Speaking of hamsters, it's time for me to eat."
As a trap person, Xiao Hei also has the function of eating, and its only food is naturally rat feed, and what it eats will be delivered to the front of the space hamster in the heart area.
The same goes for drinking water.
Chen Zhou became more and more unable to see through what kind of brain circuit its maker was: "I feel that your advantages can't cover up this fatal flaw at all." ”
"Don't worry, I've heard that there's a gnome mechanic in Asta as well, and he should be able to help me with the modification."
Xiao Hei is very optimistic about this, and the only one who knows about the dwarf is the dwarf, and presumably another dwarf mechanic can greatly improve himself.
"How many more space hamsters, like?"
After all, space hamsters are not as bloody as their physical Muggle cousins, and even if they are caged, they will not have a problem.
However, compared to optimizing Xiao Hei's performance, it really cares more about the purpose of the other party's visit to an endangered half-plane like Asta, where birds don't.
"To get first-hand information for market research, of course!" Tira explained excitedly.
According to the gossip of the Monopoly Alliance, a quasi-god has established a stronghold here, which means unlimited business opportunities and wealth, so how can you not risk it?
In addition to this, she traveled to Asta to investigate the legacy of the legendary Weaver and to assess the misuse of alchemy in the plane.
Some franchisees reported to the Monopoly Alliance that the plane was abusing alchemy and sending alchemy garbage to their own realm, which caused them great dissatisfaction and disgust.
As an envoy of the Monopoly Alliance, the main purpose of Tira's trip is to investigate the issue of Asta's discharge of garbage into other planes, which could lead to a plane war if not properly handled.
"Discharging garbage into other planes...... Isn't that the kingdom of Norton to the south?"
"That's excessive."
Chen Zhou then remembered the reason why the Norton Kingdom had not been affected by the mutation caused by the magic tide when he was in Asta, and they had completely thrown the alchemy waste and the ooze monsters formed by it to other worlds.
It's just that because the Norton Kingdom is at war with the orcs of the steppe all year round, he doesn't pay much attention to each other, so as not to be dragged into the mud by various diplomatic disputes.
"So we're going to investigate the Norton Kingdom on the Asta plane?"
"Of course you are!" The penguin nodded angrily, "And let's go teach those goblins a lesson first, and resurrect my former teammates by the way!" ”
As a well-known plane merchant, how can he be deflated in front of a mere goblin?
Whatever losses have been suffered and the beams have been formed, the Dorval Penguins will definitely get it back!
Chen Zhoule was happy: "You still know how to resurrect as a lamp-bearer?" ”
"I don't understand ......"
Hearing this, the penguin shyly lowered its round head and pulled out a black-gold card from its feathers that emitted a strong magical aura.
It's just a small card, but it's actually quite a high-level magic item!
"So, Chen, do you want to be a member?"
"Huh?"
What kind of strange unfolding is this?
Xiao Hei on the side sighed helplessly, in fact, Tira had been staring at each other's money as early as when they first met.
"Ahem, I'm not a money fan, don't look at this low-key luxury card with connotation is just a piece of paper, but its role is not so simple."
This is the membership card of the Dorval Penguin Monopoly Alliance!
With the divine support of the goddess Waukin, you can sell it to the Monopoly to top up the card with Penguin Coins by placing it on it and reciting the command.
And these data, which are recharged as "Penguin Coins", can be used to cross multiple dimensional barriers, purchase goods from the monopoly alliance, and even cast spell services.
Of course, since it takes energy to transport items, fees are unavoidable.
But in an emergency, the goods and spellcasting services that can be purchased with it can also be the key to everything.
Tila stretched out his round hand to Chen Zhou: "In short, do you want to be a member?" ”
She needs a commission to resurrect her teammates.
"Don't talk!"
The Dorval penguin man is a short, stocky, flightless bird creature that looks and moves very much like a penguin. They are businessmen at heart, always looking for the next business opportunity. The Dorval Penguins trade in secret, and even if they buy and sell things that are neither illegal nor dangerous, they like to trade in dark alleys and remote corners. Their costumes are generally fancy and belly, but some prefer to wear only a hooded cape. The group of the Dorval Penguins will be called the "Cartel"
The average height of the Doval penguin is 3 feet, and the plumage is brightly colored. They don't have wings, but they do have arms and small hands.
The Dorval penguin people like to communicate telepathically in what they call "merging", in which two Dorval penguin people maintain a spiritual connection while both telepathically communicating with a third creature.
The Dorval penguin people have their own line of gods, all of which are associated with commerce and wealth, including Waukeen, Abbathor, and Zilchus. The Dorvals hope to become the most powerful merchants in the entire multiverse by worshipping these gods exclusively without alienating or offending any of them.
