MTL - Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells-Chapter 167 Clues are connected, the truth is unlocked, technological mechas, spiritual

Chapter 167: Connecting clues, unlocking the truth, technological mecha, soul hotbed (4k)

 This task instruction is actually related to gods.

Lu Cheng glanced over and caught two key words.

 The relics of the gods.

  Pheromone of the God of Shadow.

 Immediately, he thought of the divine breath crystal in his storage space.

 The aura of the gods in the breath crystal can exactly correspond to the pheromones.

 Could the relics of the gods mentioned in the diary refer to this?

“Does this divine breath crystal belong to the God of Shadows?”

 Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ulate February 5222: Executing the instructions, the God of Shadows pheromone application module was loaded successfully, the advanced production module was loaded successfully, the Toya I combat module was loaded successfully, the flesh and blood mechanical creation template was loaded successfully...a total of 27 production modules. The module loading is completed, the authority has been upgraded, and now directly takes orders from the Governor of Area A. 】

Looking across, Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

 In the previous life data, Toya's ruins are technological ruins, and this is also what he found during his exploration.

 Looking at this situation, the fighting intensity is quite high!

But when the disaster of faith broke out, the God of Shadows arrived quite early, followed closely by the God of Demons.

 But the remains of the spiritual platform in his hand and the glass rosary obtained by the strong man who surrendered the country did not look like the style of technological relics.

 March 5222: The production strategy has been loaded, battle damage data is being collected, and production will begin the next month. 】

 But even so, the battle damage rate still exceeded 70%.

 Why does this **** target the God of Luck?

 Furthermore, the levels are all above level 100 and have reached the fourth level!

Plus the information provided by this line…

 The production line that uses flesh and blood as production materials seems to be this one.

Perhaps because of this, the production node as a whole received an emergency order.

 After the second turn, the combat power of each level increases higher than that of lower levels. Robots above level 100 are already very powerful.

 Is it a factional dispute among the gods, or does it have other purposes?

There is no clue yet on this point, but the question about the production line has been resolved.

 【1. Supply friction conflict: a strategy adopted when the battle loss rate is less than 1%, and 10 groups of combat robots are produced every month. 】

 May 5222: The battle damage rate last month was 76.8%, the production strategy remained unchanged, the combat module was updated, the level of combat robots was raised from level 101 to level 103, and the level of flesh-and-blood mechanical creations was raised from level 105 to level 106. The monthly output was: 505 sets of Toya 2nd Generation Strong Shield Robots, 135 sets of Toya 2nd Generation Defender Robots, and 31 sets of flesh and blood mechanical creations. 】

 …

  In other words, the opponent's strength is also quite strong!

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng's heart suddenly moved.

The mystery is that in the early days of the disaster, he did not spread faith like other gods, or cultivate vessels or envoys.

 According to the counting method of Toya Ruins, a group is 30 robots.

 He is no stranger to the God of Shadows.

However, what is going on with the production of so many combat robots and such a battle loss rate?

  【2. Supply local war: a strategy adopted when the battle loss rate is 1%-10%, and produce 30-100 groups of combat robots every month. 】

In other words, in the month of April 5222 alone, this production line produced nearly 20,000 robots.

  【April 5222: The battle loss rate last month was 77%, and the production strategy was adjusted to total war. The monthly output is: 500 sets of Toya's first-generation shield robots, 140 sets of Toya's first-generation defensive robots, and 30 sets of flesh-and-blood mechanical creations. 】

So, what is this combat unit production line going to produce?

While thinking in his mind, he continued to look down.

 Since this article, the content of the log has become richer.

 …

 【June 5222: The battle damage rate last month was 76.5%...】

　　3. Supply total war: a strategy adopted when the battle loss rate is higher than 10%, to produce combat robots at full power while maximizing unit combat effectiveness. 】

 It has been suspended before, waiting for analysis.

 After analysis, production begins.

 This production line was probably set up just for this divine breath crystal.

 After loading all the modules, the authority of this production line has been greatly improved, bypassing the mimic AI responsible for coordination, and directly taking orders from the Governor of Area A.

This **** is in the same camp as the God of Destruction. His behavior is cruel and crazy, and he is also quite mysterious.

 Inside the ruins, is there any place where we need to fight?

 …

 Coupled with the high amount, the assembled combat power is quite astonishing.

 The preservation of this production node may also be related to this.

  Could it be that there is a cave inside this ruins, that they are fighting another force, and that these two treasures were snatched from the other party?

Judging from the current information, it seems that this is not impossible!

Thinking in his mind, Lu Cheng looked down.

  In the following hundreds of years of logs, this production line has been running at full power, and the output has increased month by month, eventually maintaining around 1,000 sets per month.

 During this period, the modules loaded into the unit were constantly updated.

 The types of robots produced are also constantly changing.

 Shield, defend, assault, fight, attack, blast...there are dozens of them.

 Until November 5724, 12 city-breaking mechas were produced.

 In December after this, production suddenly dropped sharply, falling directly to zero.

 The end of the period is 5725 years before the accident.

 This production line stopped production like the other nine, and then collected all materials and returned them to the master control node.

 “So that’s it…”

 After reading the end in one breath, Lu Cheng felt a little enlightened.

Through the log of this production line, the clues he had finally showed some signs of being connected!

Lu Cheng's mind was spinning, sorting out the information.

Inside this ruins, apart from Toya, there is another force.

 The Toa side has been at war with the other side, which lasted for hundreds of years and consumed a lot of money during this period.

However, judging from the types of aircraft produced on the production line, the balance of victory is tilted towards Toya.

 From the beginning of the strong shield and defensive type, to the later assault and battle, to the attack, and then to the city-breaking mecha.

 It can be seen that Toya's side is gradually gaining an advantage.

 Until November 5724, the city-breaking mecha was produced, which was equivalent to the final general attack.

 Judging from the sharp drop in the production of combat robots in December, this battle was won and a large amount of materials were plundered from the opponent.

 This is how the production of energy crystal blocks surged in 5725.

but…

 It only increased for one year, but in 5726, something changed.

  Could this incident be related to another force in the ruins?

While thinking about it, Lu Cheng closed the log panel.

 This production line is only responsible for the production of combat robots, so it is good to be able to provide this information.

 For more, you have to find it from the Governor of Area A.

 While he was thinking, he heard the sound of the metal flower spirit.

 “Master, there are good things!”

Lu Cheng turned around and saw the metal flower spirit raising its arms high, holding up a large piece of fine iron that was much larger than her and flying back.

“This production line is quite special. It has storage space inside and a lot of refined iron!”

 The Metal Flower Spirit was beaming with joy as he spoke and pressed a few buttons on the production line with one hand.

Subsequently, the sound of mechanical operation was heard, the production line unit expanded, and an underground space similar to a dozen warehouses was exposed.

Most of them are empty, except for a warehouse in the corner where cubes of fine iron are neatly arranged, taking up most of the space.

 At a glance, there are tens of thousands of units!

"This is?"

Lu Cheng was slightly startled.

 Soon, he understood.

 The instructions received by these production lines are to collect valuable materials and transport them back urgently.

 Perhaps in comparison, these fine irons were judged to be of no value and were left behind.

Think about it, fine iron is not a high-end material.

  Unless it is blessed with advanced smelting skills, it will become precious.

Looking over it, Lu Cheng felt happy.

These refined irons have obviously not been smelted at a high level. They are just the most common level 1 materials, on the same level as level 1 wood and stone.

However, although it is not high-end, it is exactly what he needs now!

 At present, settlement No. 1024 is in its infancy and has not yet been upgraded to a city.

 The low-level buildings in the first few levels need a lot of fine iron!

If low-level buildings can be built, the overall strength of the settlement will be greatly improved.

 At that time, he will also be able to get a lot of feedback!

With this in mind, Lu Cheng immediately opened the storage space and collected the fine iron.

On the other side, the metal flower spirit also started to help, quickly moving the fine iron and stuffing it into the storage space.

With his hands moving constantly, Lu Cheng took the opportunity to check the settlement panel.

 At first glance, I found that the progress was good.

There are already 473 Level 1 houses, more than twice as many as before he entered the ruins.

Think about it, now that the settlement is surrounded by a level 1 resource area, there are more resources.

 Furthermore, as everyone’s level increases, it will be easier to obtain Source Stone fragments. However, although there are many Level 1 residential buildings, there are only 7 Level 2 residential buildings.

 It’s not that everyone in the gathering doesn’t work hard.

Mainly now, there are no conditions for smelting refined iron in the settlement.

 In addition to exploding from monsters, it can only be done by people with such talents or those who have changed jobs.

 The progress has slowed down over time.

 According to normal conditions, it would take ten days and a half to collect the refined iron required for these 100 level 2 houses.

But things are different now.

  Such a large batch of refined iron is more than enough to meet the needs of the settlement!

Thinking in my mind, one person and one flower spirit quickly filled up the storage space.

 But the fine iron in the warehouse seems to have not moved, and there is no visible decrease in quantity.

 At a cursory glance, I’m afraid there are tens of thousands of units left!

 Looking across, Lu Cheng's lips raised.

 The refined iron he collected was several thousand units, enough to consume a level 2 residence.

However, even though the remaining fine iron cannot be taken away at once, it cannot be wasted.

 There are many low-level buildings in the early stage of the city that require refined iron.

 According to the output of this production line, this refined iron is consumed in one week.

It can be used to support a new small city, which is enough to squander it for a while!

 “Set the anchor point.”

 Lu Cheng thought silently in his heart.

 Light blue light lingered, forming a miniature magic circle, and then quickly dissipated.

【Ding, the anchor point is set successfully. You can teleport here. Each teleportation consumes 300 mana. 】

  【Number of anchor points set so far: 3/3】

 Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

With the anchoring function, he can transport the refined iron in batches.

 As for now, it is better to explore the periphery of the ruins first and get the source energy crystal core.

 The production node and the master control node are separated by only a dozen channels and can be reached quickly.

but…

Lu Cheng glanced at the skill panel.

 【Fireball: Lv9, proficiency 3945/4000】

 There is only a few dozen proficiency points left, so it is better to continue after upgrading.

With this in mind, he drew out his staff.

 “Bang!”

 “Bang, bang…”

 As soon as the fire ball fell, the skill proficiency increased rapidly, reaching 3996/4000 in a short time.

 Only 4 points of proficiency needed to be upgraded. Lu Cheng had a change of heart.

I wonder if Lucky Omen has any effect on the increase brought by skill upgrades?

Thinking of this, his hand movements paused slightly.

With the effect of casting echo, once he fires a fire ball, his proficiency may increase by 1 to 4 points.

 “The lucky omen…turns on.”

 While thinking silently in his mind, the shadow of the clock appeared in his field of vision.

Lu Cheng glanced at the clock with his peripheral vision, and threw a fireball according to the time.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

The fireball triggered four spellcastings, and four rays of fire fell, immediately bringing up a series of system prompts.

  【Ding, your skill Fireball has been upgraded to level 10! 】

  【Your fireball skill has been upgraded to level 10, and you have an opportunity to increase it! 】

Lu Cheng turned his mind and opened the skill panel.

 In the panel, the Fireball column flickers.

 【Fireball (Level 10) After chanting for 1 second, condense a fireball to attack the enemy, damage 475, casting distance 20 meters, consumption 10 mana, cooling time 3 seconds, proficiency 0/4400】

 【Number of times increased: 2, direction of increase: fast, explosive】

  Under the dim light flickering, five increases were arranged in sequence in the light curtain.

 【Increase direction one: bonus】

  【Select this increase, the bonus coefficient of the fireball spell will increase from 1 point of magic attack to provide 1 damage, to 1 point of magic attack to provide 1.5 damage. 】

 …

 【Amplification direction two: Explosion II】

　　【Choose this increase, the fireball explosion special effect will be upgraded, and within the same damage value, the killing range will be increased by 30%. 】

 …

 【Increase direction three: Rapid II】

　　【Select this increase, the cooldown time of the fireball will be reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. 】

 …

 【Increase direction four: Blazing Flame】

　　【Choose this increase, the fireball spell will gain the special effect of blazing flames, and the blazing flames will provide 20% spell penetration effect. 】

 …

 【Increase direction five: Burning soul】

　　【Choose this increase, the fireball will gain the special effect of burning the soul, which can cause 120% damage to the soul body. 】

 …

Looking over it, Lu Cheng felt happy.

I don’t know if it’s a lucky omen. This second increase has another cooldown reduction!

Although the basic cooldown is only reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds, he has the gift of breath and the spiritual transformation, which can also provide cooldown reduction.

 After the reduction is completed, there are only 1.2 seconds left.

Including the casting time, he can shoot out 10 more fireballs in one minute!

 The improvement in output is quite large.

Furthermore, stacking up layers of Endless Drain can also be done much faster!

Lu Cheng was satisfied and turned to the second option.

 The bonus in Article 1 is definitely eliminated.

As for the burning soul in the fifth article, it is quite interesting.

However, he has the soul resistance skill, which can cause damage to the soul body.

 In this case, burning the soul is a bit useless.

 Lu Cheng's eyes turned, hesitating slightly between Explosion II and Blazing Flame.

 With his current damage, the explosion radius of the fireball can exceed thirty meters, and the damage range is already quite large.

As for large-scale group destruction, high-level skills can be achieved, but there is no need to develop fireball in that direction.

  On the contrary, it has 20% spell penetration, which is quite affordable.

 In the future, we will face high-level monsters, and there will be many monsters with high magic resistance. This special effect stage is huge.

With his thoughts turning, Lu Cheng made a choice.

 “Choose fast, fiery.”

　　【Ding, the selection was successful, you chose the two increases of Rapid II and Blazing Flame. 】

 【Increasing... After the amplification is completed, the cooldown time of your fireball is reduced to 2 seconds, and you gain the blazing special effect. 】

Lu Cheng was in a happy mood after listening to the system prompts.

 He is quite satisfied with these two increases!

The only pity is that there is no special effect on the casting range.

However, this is not a big problem.

 Now, it is not far from the completion of the creation of the hub stone.

 When the hub sacred stone secret realm is opened, the problem of spell range will naturally be solved.

Turning off the panel, Lu Cheng looked towards the passage ahead.

 Next, it’s time to go straight to Huanglong and meet the last Governor of Area A!

With his thoughts turning, he stepped forward.

 Walking into the passage, not long after, a familiar mechanical sound came.

 “Intruder found…”

It is a group of patrol robots, approaching with fast tracks.

Lu Cheng waved his staff and threw out a fireball.

 “Boom…”

The sound of burning flames exploded. After having the blazing special effect, the fireball solidified a lot, exploded with a bang, and the blazing flames swept across the passage.

 Soon, a kill prompt sounded in his ears.

　　【Ding, you killed 30 Type A patrol robots (level 50), gained +1.11 million experience points, and gained +15.3 source energy limit! 】

  【60 soul fragments have been stored in the soul hotbed. 】

 Subsequently, there was another system prompt!

　　【Ding, the soul hotbed has sufficient soul fragments reserved and can be activated now! 】
