?Chapter 1192: 374. The vicissitudes of time
Isle 33 of the Suman Archipgo Core Circle.
The weather was clear, and the sea surface was calm.
Nnd Lee held a tea cup in his hand, standing on the balcony of his study room, overlooking the clear seawater below.
The surface of the sea, like shattered ss, reflected arcs of light that flickered across his face.
Nnd’s lips curled into a smile as he took a sip of tea, feeling content in his heart.
He had obtained several batches of Level 3 Energy Conversion Arrays, following the example of the Lamp and Professor Erica, two private friends who lent their arrays for Nnd’s use. <div>
...
Now, within the energy conversion area of the Fourth Underground Level, there were a total of 80 conversion arrays at work.
Most of them were Level 3, with a few being Level 4.
Although he had yet to see a 5th level or 6th level conversion array to date, he was already very satisfied with the current speed and efficiency of conversion.
Nolin calcted that after about two months and five days, the magical energy needed for the first stage of constructing the Sub-Dimensional ne would be ready.
This efficiency had increased by nearly 200%pared to ten days earlier, which naturally delighted Nnd.
Furthermore, the work on exploring spells with the “Mold Energy Art” and advancing Mechanos through Alchemy was also progressing very smoothly.
After consuming nearly 300 million Points of Energy and more than 10 million points of Soul Energy, Nnd discovered numerous local magic and several wild magic.
Local magic was not worth mentioning as it was recorded in books.
There were three wild magics in total.
The first wild magic was “Forced Ignite Magic,” which, given sufficient fire energy, could forcibly ignite a target. The more difficult it was to ignite the target, the more fire energy it consumed.
This wild magic had an especially strong panel description, suggesting it could be used to ignite just about anything.
After numerous trials, Nnd found that “Forced Ignite Magic” was a type of powerful yetrgely superfluous wild magic.
Indeed, it could be used to forcibly ignite anything, but the consumption was terrifyingly high.
Take a batch of dried wood as an example.
Igniting a bundle of wood, half a person’s height, only required 10 points of fire energy.
However, if you exchanged the wood for a small stone, the consumption would skyrocket from 10 points to 100 million points!
Yes, 100 million points!
Nnd read the system message several times to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
To ensure the rigor of the experiment, he specifically used 100 million points of fire energy to forcibly ignite the stone.
The stone burst into a fireball with a loud “puff,” ejecting intense mes, quickly burning from the inside out within three seconds, eventually turning into ck smoke that drifted away.
100 million points of fire energy only resulted in a less-than-beautiful disy of fireworks…
Nnd just felt a pang of pain.
If he wanted the stone to explode, why not just use “fixed point thunderstorm technique” to detonate it? It would at most consume a hundred or so points of thunder and lightning energy, far from the need for over a hundred million points of fire energy.
“Forced Ignite Magic,” a waste.
The second wild magic was “Swift Ocean-making Magic.”
Its effect was exactly as named, which was to create an area of sea water rich in corrosive properties and deep sea magic power at a casting speed far exceeding ordinary “Ocean-making Magic.”
The size of the sea water area was directly proportional to the amount of Deep Sea Magic Power invested.
This wild magic caught Selena’s attention because her “Ocean-making Magic” was a local magic.
“Ocean-making Magic” required very little consumption of Deep Sea Magic Power but had extremely high energy demands on the caster.
As a wild magic, “Swift Ocean-making Magic,” on the other hand, had exactly the opposite characteristics, requiring a lot of Deep Sea Magic Power but very little energy from the caster.
Seeing Selena’s interest in this wild magic, Nnd promised her that once they got their hands on the Sub-Dimensional ne, he would teach her this technique.
The third wild magic was simr to “Swift Ocean-making Magic,” also involving the creation of physical entities with magic power, and its name was “Magic Wall.”
The more rock and soil energy was invested, the higher the defense of the “Magic Wall” would be, with changes to its thickness, length and height.
Because Nnd was exploring magic with the intention of constructing a Sub-Dimensional ne, of the three wild magics he discovered, two were rted to the construction.
In the near future, “Swift Ocean-making Magic” and “Magic Wall” were sure to shine in the Sub-Dimensional ne.
Looking at the achievements in developing Mechanos.
The Capacitor Package Mechanos had been improved, adding the “Power-enhanced Type” for enhanced lethality, the “Swift Type” for enhanced movement speed, and the “Hidden Type” for enhanced anti-detection capabilities.
Based on the design of the Capacitor Package Mechanos, Nolin developed the “Thermal Melt Bag Mechanic Spirit” and the “Acid Melt Bag Mechanic Spirit.”
As implied by its name, the Thermal Melt Bag Mechanic Spirit contained arge amount of fire energy and could direct a high-powered me Pir, instantly burning through protective gear below Level 60.
The Acid Melt Bag Mechanic Spirit was simr, only its interior stored Acid Liquid, which was converted from Rock and Soil Energy.
The Capacitor Package Mechanos were forbating non-insted armor and engineering facilities, Thermal Melt Bag Mechanos specifically targeted items with low heat capacity and rapid temperature increases, and Acid Melt Bag Mechanos were the bane of all items with poor acid resistance.
Whenbined, theoretically speaking, Nnd now had the confidence to ovee 60% of Wizards.
But this was not enough.
In the future, whenpeting for the Sub-Dimensional ne, he might face enemies at the Transcendent-level Tier.
At the Transcendent Tier, ordinary physical and energy methods might not be effective.
For example, that Transcendent Wizard named Clint “Windhawk.”
