Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 108.

The sun has just risen, and the morning light shines into the eyes.

Sitting on the speeding motorcycle, Li Nuo squinted his eyes, raised his hands to block the glare of the sun, and looked at a black line in the sky.

In an anime related to giants, there was a huge wall that surrounded the city.

Li Nuo saw the real thing at this time.

The black line rising on the horizon gradually turned into a city wall spanning tens of kilometers.

It is as tall and thick as the dam of a large-scale water conservancy project, towering into the sky and covering the sky.

The city wall extends several kilometers underground, enclosing the entire aberration lair in the Great Rift, forming a semi-closed container.

Such a huge alchemy project is not to protect the residents inside the wall from the aggression of things outside the wall, but to monitor and limit the aberration lair in the big crack in the city.

The landmark building of Fusion City is this arc-shaped city wall that surrounds the entire city.

In essence, the alchemy workshops, alchemists, and ordinary people in the city, every building, and every person are all contributing to contain the distortions in the Great Rift.

Interestingly, why put people and buildings inside the wall?

Li Nuo threw this question to Fars.

Fars shook his head and said like a storyteller:

"At the very beginning, Aggregation City wasn't called Aggregation City, it was called Gathering Aberrations Consolidation Control Area. In the open space inside the wall, there were no buildings or humans except for the big crack. It was just that people would regularly enter the crack to clean up the aberrations and maintain It's just underground plumbing.

"I told you before that the feces of the aberrants contain high-purity universal metal powder.

"While building the walls of the Alchemy Temple, a complete set of alchemy devices was installed in the underground aberration lair to collect the excrement of the aberrations and extract universal metal powder.

"Every three months or so, the underground alchemy device will use strong air currents to spray the collected universal metal powder onto the ground, forming a rain of metal powder that lasts for about a day. We call this day ' Dusting Day'."

Fars sighed:

"Human greed is the source of everything, Li Lei.

"Originally, according to the original plan, only on the dusting day, people outside the wall could enter the wall and collect universal metal powder. But later, some people violated the rules and set up strongholds inside the wall, occupying a favorable position for a long time. There was an internal strife among the alchemy forces.

"The Alchemy Temple stepped in and decided through joint discussions with all parties to allow all the alchemy forces to develop the area in the city. The Alchemy Temple divided the city into more than 20 plots and sold them to the alchemy forces at an auction. The specific ownership of the plots belongs to , is determined by the result of the auction. After that, there will be the aggregation city you see now."

Li Nuo nodded slowly, "Then, if we feel that the city is too crowded, we can still move out, right? Isn't it the same if we enter the city before the dusting day starts?"

"No, no, no." Fars shook his head like a rattle:

"You don't know. After the land ownership issue is resolved, everything in the land belongs to the land owner, including the air directly above the land, the universal metal powder that has not yet fallen on the ground, and the land All the underground areas below. You cannot collect universal metal powder in the plot without the authorization of the plot holder."

"So it's like this." Li Nuo thought for a while and said:

"So, the so-called division of land is actually dividing the area for collecting powder, right? If there is a lot of metal powder falling in that area, the price of the land will be high, otherwise, it will be cheaper. "

"That's almost what it means." Fars looked at the wall that blocked his vision, and his tone became agitated:

"Finally back! After I send the spring water to the alchemy workshop, I will take the reward and pay the rent of the laboratory, and then soak in it for ten days and a half months before coming out... Ah, no, no , Mark, when is the next dusting day?"

Mark has been driving motorcycles all night.

He raised his hand, covered his mouth and yawned, counting with his fingers:

"Let me do the math... maybe seven or eight days. I'm not sure."

Mark turned his head and looked at the captain:

"Head, do you know the date of the next dusting day?"

"Seven days later, it will be the dusting day. Don't leave Juju City in the near future, so as not to miss it. If you want to make money, the dusting day is the most important thing."

Conte smiled at Li Nuo:

"If you're lucky, after seven days, you'll be able to collect the 100,000 yuan for the identity card. Our security company does not directly participate in the work of collecting powder, but we must protect the alchemy facility that collects the powder. If the alchemy facility is intact, then the collection Naturally, there will be more powder, and the company will definitely pay us a lot.”

Conte touched his brain and sighed softly:

"But I'm afraid that someone will make trouble. The Iron Thorn Shield has offended a lot of gangs on weekdays. During the three days of dusting day, the sky is dark, and the gangsters will come out like mice to destroy, and then there will be a bloodbath. gone."

Li Nuo asked in confusion:

"Why does the Alchemy Temple allow gangs to exist? In the empire, such groups are treated as illegal forces. Why is the situation in the Golden Federation completely different?"

"Who knows...it was like this when I came anyway." Conte shrugged.

Mark also looked confused. Obviously, as a local, he has long been used to the existence of gangs and has not considered this issue.

Fars shook his head slightly and clicked his mouth:

"I want you to study hard, but if you don't read well, you don't know now. This part of the content is mentioned in the book."

Fars shook his fingers up and down, and said in a showy manner:

"We alchemists pay attention to one qi, two directions, three states, and four elements.

"One Qi refers to the Qi of nature, which means that all alchemy materials, alchemy runes, and alchemy formulas all come from nature in the final analysis.

"Two directions refer to the two directions of movement, rising and falling. Toward chaos is to rise, and to return to order is to fall."

"Three states refer to rising state, stable state and falling state, which represent the state of things.

"There is nothing to say about the four elements, which are nothing more than the four basic elements of fire, wind, earth, and water.

"Your security company corresponds to the downward state of returning to order, and the gang corresponds to the upward state of pursuing chaos. If you take you as a whole, your hostile relationship is a stable state.

"Of course the Alchemy Temple knows that gangs are not a good thing. But, the sages in the temple pay attention to this. They think that only the coexistence of three states is the most perfect state.

"That's why you are in conflict with the gang, and no one can do anything to each other. Think about it carefully, when you have a big fight, it wasn't someone from the Alchemy Temple who came forward to mediate."

Conte sneered at the stinky Fars:

"Where are you going to show off? What's the use of these dry theories? In the end, you don't want me to help you out."

Mark next to him covered his head and frowned, as if he was about to grow his brain:

"Ah... It's so complicated. It seems that I am really not suitable for studying. I'd better go to the ruins of the ancient dynasty to try my luck. Boss, next time you enter the ruins, take me with you."

Li Nuo glanced at the other team members around, and they all looked at Fars blankly as if they were listening to heaven...

Sure enough, the Federation's high literacy rate does not mean that ordinary people have a high level of education.

The natives of the Commonwealth have no problems with listening, speaking, reading and writing, but if they really want to understand the profound alchemy theory, it is better to pull the trigger and fight with others.

Fars pretended not to hear Conte's ridicule, shook his head, and said in a narcissistic way:

"Whatever you want to say about me, Conte. Anyway, after this dusting day is over, you don't want me out of the lab. You beg me to help you identify things, and I don't answer you."

"Then don't expect me to help you fight next time..."

"Will you help me~"

The closer to the city of aggregation, the more active the atmosphere within the team.

After a day and night of long-distance travel, smiles that were about to unload the burden began to appear on the tired faces of the team members.

Li Nuo laughed secretly when he saw Kante and the others arguing.

…

…

When approaching the city gate, the speed of the car slowed down.

The plots in the city are divided into fan-shaped areas around the big crack in the center of the city, and the gates connected to the fan-shaped areas are guarded by the owners of the plots.

Iron Thorn Shield is a subsidiary company of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.

The Gold Chamber of Commerce controls the No. 7 fan-shaped area in the lower city.

Correspondingly, the No. 7 doorway on the wall is guarded by the Iron Thorn Shield security company.

Now Li Nuo understands how the clean ID card came about...

Dare to Love is issued by the security company and the gang themselves...

Whoever prints a clean ID card and who receives a clean ID card, these matters are all controlled by the security company and the gang executives, and they know everything in their hearts.

If a clean identity card appeared on the black market, the top brass of the power would definitely be able to quickly find out who sold the identity card privately.

Those who sell it can't run away, and those who print it look down on the money.

This is probably the reason why there are no clean ID cards on the black market.

With Conte, the security captain, Li Nuo passed the audit without any surprises and entered the No. 7 sector controlled by the Gold Chamber of Commerce.

Walking through the bustling streets all the way, smelling the smog in the air, and seeing passers-by in overalls, trench coats, and dresses, Li Nuo seemed to have returned to urban life.

The buildings in the city are not very high, the highest is no more than five floors, but because they are arranged close to the road, it makes people feel overcrowded.

Sewage drains, manhole covers, and street lamps for night lighting are all available, which is very close to the modern living environment before crossing.

But no wires and poles, no transformers or anything.

The lights used here are derived from alchemy lamps. The built-in luminescent alchemy array can stably transform the energy in the coal into light and exhaust gas.

Similar alchemy daily necessities include alchemy stoves, alchemy washing machines, alchemy kettles, etc.

They are all powered by alchemy arrays.

Comparing the products of the alchemy civilization and the products of the information civilization together, Li Nuo feels that each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Just as Li Nuo shook his head left and right, immersed in observing the alchemy society, the motorcade stopped in front of a building.

Conte yelled and got out of the car:

"Okay, guys, you're done! It's still the old rules. If you should rest, you should go to the hospital. Tonight, we will see you in the 'money dream'. I will bring the reward at the celebration banquet, and you are indispensable." Yes...Mark, you take someone to deal with the corpse and the loot, I will report the mission and talk to the president. Fars, go to the alchemy workshop by yourself."

"Okay, head! We withdraw!"

"Hey~ Girls from 'Money Dreams', here I come~"

"Come here to help me, my leg is hurt and I can't get out of the car..."

"Hey, don't rush away, come and help me send the body bag to the morgue." Mark greeted several team members and took the body bag from the car.

Fars thanked everyone and left in a hurry, talking about his alchemy laboratory.

Li Nuo wanted to see where the morgue was, so that he could prepare the casting materials for his "Death Spell" in advance.

He picked up the body bag and walked into the building with Mark and others.

After arriving at the morgue on the third basement floor and putting away the body bags, Li Nuo simply took a look around and confirmed that the place was not large, with only a few corpses, and then he lost interest.

Returning to the ground the same way, the team members couldn't wait to leave and went to play in "Money Dream".

Mark yawned and waved to Li Nuo:

"Come on, Li Lei. I'll take you to your dormitory. If you're not satisfied with the dormitory, you can choose to rent a house outside. You can go to the captain to apply for an accommodation subsidy. But, I don't think you need it for the time being. So come with me."

Go up the stairs to the fifth floor.

At the door of a small room covering an area of ​​five square meters, Mark opened the door and threw the key to Li Nuo:

"Okay, here we are. This room is yours. You can tidy up yourself. The bathroom and shower room are shared, at the end of the corridor. Oh, yes, the captain asked me to give you some money in advance to buy clothes and daily necessities”

Mark grabbed a handful of crumpled banknotes from his pocket, stuffed them into Li Nuo's hand, and then rushed to the stairwell:

"If you have anything to do, come to 'Money Dream' to find me. I have been delayed for so long, and I don't know if my little cutie is still waiting for me..."

"Thump, thump, thump," the footsteps gradually drifted away.

Li Nuo looked at the money in his hand, then at the stairwell, and smiled dumbly.

When Mark thought of women, he even forgot about borrowing books.

I don't know what kind of woman can be so fascinated by this group of blood-licking people.

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, stepped into the room, and locked the door.

He pushed the desk, chair and bench to the corner, turned up the bed board and leaned against the wall, making room in the room.

He has been envious of the Dusk Giant's "Soul Casting Technique" for a long time, and has never had the private space and time to practice it.

Now is my chance.

Li Nuo unloaded his backpack, took off his dirty coat, and piled it on the table in the corner.

He called up "Soul Casting Technique" in his mind, and made movements while comparing the map.

As soon as he stretched out his hand and took a side lunge, Li Nuo discovered a place that he hadn't noticed before.

He has already used the deconstruction technique to bring the "Soul Casting Technique" into his mind, and he is completely familiar with it.

But when it comes to actual operation, a feeling of physical and mental incoordination arises spontaneously.

He knows how to do the movements, but his body just doesn't listen to his commands, constantly losing shape, changing shape, or losing his center of gravity.

It's as if he knows how to build an airplane but can't screw a screw.

This feeling is very strange, and it makes Li Nuo feel that what he thinks in his heart deviates from his actual actions.

"Is it because my soul has not completely merged with this body?

"Or, I used the deconstruction technique to memorize the "Soul Casting Technique", but it was only engraved into my mind, and it did not transform it into the instinct of the body?"

Li Nuo nodded slowly, feeling that the second scenario was more likely.

He settled down and rehearsed the first set of movements in "Soul Casting Technique" completely.

Beads of sweat fell to the ground, and a layer of water appeared on the skin. Li Nuo panted heavily, lowered his arms, and completed the last movement.

[System message: You tried to practice the first set of movements of "Soul Casting". 】

[The action completion rate is 31%. 】

[You failed to unlock the relevant passive skills and attribute rewards, please continue to work hard. 】

"The system gives the degree of completion of the movement... This is good news feedback, which saves me the trouble of correcting movements in front of the mirror."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, secretly pleased, and rehearsed the first set of movements.

He didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, which made him feel a little dazed, but the exercise training made him completely excited.

This is something that can only be seen in novels in the past!

There are so many male protagonists in novels who rely on martial arts cheats, body training techniques, breathing techniques and other things to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and achieve an immortal body!

Which man can refuse the temptation of this thing.

Anyway, Li Nuo can't do it.

Although he already has death-like spells by his side, the so-called skill is not overwhelming, and if he has trained his body well, wouldn't it be an extra hole card?

Others thought he was a "death subject", hey, he was actually a coward who mastered the death spell.

Others thought that his hole card was the death spell, so Li Nuo directly exploded his clothes, transformed into a Super Saiyan on the spot, and used his big iron fist to tell the opponent what a real hooker is.

A necromancer without huge muscles is not a good time traveler!

This picture, tsk, is exciting to think about.

Under the influence of exhaustion and excitement, he rehearsed the movements over and over again, and finally sat down on the spot with trembling muscles, the system sent congratulations.

【system information:】

[You successfully practiced the first set of movements of "Soul Casting Technique"! 】

[Action completion rate is 60%. 】

[Based on this degree of completion, you have received the following rewards:]

[1. You have acquired an active skill:]

[Strength burst, level 1, daily use times 1/1. 】

[After activating this skill, your "Strength" attribute will be temporarily +1. Every 10 seconds the skill lasts, it needs to consume 1 energy point. Can last up to 1 minute. 】

[2. You have unlocked the "Strength" attribute, which is only related to the destructive power of your physical body, and the current attribute value is 1 point. 】

[3. You have unlocked the "training progress bar" of the first set of moves in "Soul Casting", and the current training progress is 0.6%]

[After the progress of the training progress bar reaches 100%, you will receive attribute value rewards. 】

Training progress bar?

wow~

not bad~

Visible progress bar growth is the easiest way to motivate people. This is effective positive feedback.

Li Nuo stood up while leaning on the wall, put the bed back in place, and lay down on his back.

While resting, while thinking about future plans in his mind, the future schedule gradually became clear.

First of all, keep a certain amount of energy and soul strength in stock.

The energy value continues to be in a state of exploding, so you have to find a way to spend it, so as not to affect the automatic recovery of the energy value.

Keep the energy value of -1 as the upper limit value, and 200 points of soul strength, and you should be able to deal with emergency situations.

Secondly, the most urgent task is to improve the "spirit" and raise the upper limit of the energy value.

Finally, spare time should be used to practice "Soul Casting Technique". Li Nuo wanted to see what the attribute rewards would be after the training progress bar was full.

Before you have sufficient ability to protect yourself, everything should be based on improving your strength.

Not only to be a master of learning, master of magic, but also a master of big muscles!

Um!

That's it!

Li Nuo recovered some strength from lying down, barely sat up, and began to tidy up the room.

Ten minutes later, he walked into the public shower room with the security uniform he found in the closet.

After washing fragrantly, changing into clean clothes, wearing a face towel and sunglasses to cover his entire face and neck, Li Nuo came to the lobby on the first floor.

The main client of the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company is the Gold Chamber of Commerce, but it will also take some orders from outside, so a female receptionist is arranged here in the lobby.

Li Nuo chatted with them a few words, and found out where to buy alchemy books.

"After you go out of the door, turn left and go straight. At the third alley, turn right and enter the alley. There is a bookstore inside. You can buy all kinds of books there. The owner of the bookstore has a cooperation agreement with us and will I'll give you a discount."

The speaking female receptionist blinked her eyes, looking curiously at the invisible Li Nuo, her eyes were full of curiosity.

The colleague next to her also had the same expression...

Li Nuo waved his hands to express his thanks, then turned to leave, and the two whispered behind him, both inside and outside the words were guessing how good-looking he was...

The corner of Li Nuo's mouth twitched, and he sighed silently.

It seems that the effect of the attribute "Charm", like the literal description of the system, is not only related to "appearance", but also related to "temperament".

Although he covered his face, his walking posture, tone of voice, speaking habits, body outline and other details have not changed, and he will also reveal his own temperament...

Forget it, let the "charm" toss.

…

In front of the bookstore called "Time Boils People".

Li Nuo pushed open the glass door, and walked into the bookstore amidst the tinkling bells.

The bookshelves on the left and right sides are full of books.

Ahead is the cashier counter.

A bald old man wearing glasses was lazily lying on a deck chair, holding a colorful book in his hand.

When he saw a customer coming to the store, he put down the book in his hand without blushing, coughed lightly, took out the book with a plain cover from the counter and read it, and at the same time greeted:

"Oh, welcome, just take a look."

The old man raised his glasses and glanced at the customer with thick lenses:

"Are you the new armed security guard from Iron Thorn Shield? Why are you wearing a face towel? You scared me, I thought my shop was robbed."

Li Nuo thought the old man was quite interesting, so he said casually:

"I'm so handsome, I'm afraid of being tied up by a woman, so I can't do without a face scarf."

The old man said disdainfully:

"Cut, oily young man... What book do you want to buy? Pleasure books? It's at the bottom of the bookshelf on your left. Look for it yourself."

"Let me take a look at the books on self-taught alchemy exams." Li Nuo cast his eyes around and threw out the deconstruction technique continuously.

"Mark has it. You can just ask him to borrow it. You don't have to buy it from me. Anyway, you people who use knives and guns can't stand it. It's a waste to buy it."

"You're not doing business anymore. It's rare for a customer to come, and you still don't recommend him to buy it." Li Nuo touched the bookshelf, and there was a layer of dust on his fingertips, and he seemed to realize something in his heart.

He looked at the old man, threw the deconstruction technique, and immediately his eyes trembled slightly.

Without waiting for the old man to reply, he preemptively said in the usual tone:

"Mark went to 'Money Dreams' to find a woman, and he agreed to lend me the book, but he forgot about it when he entered the city. Why don't you show me a book first, and if I can read it, I will pay for it Buy books."

"Oh, well, poor little Mark is going to be drained by women again." The old man shook his head, put down his book, held onto the arm of the chair, and stood up tremblingly:

He groped around the counter, took out alchemy books with hard shell covers from the drawer, and put them on the table.

"Here, let's take a look. "A Brief History of Alchemy in the Golden Federation", "Basic Alchemy Theory", "Basic Alchemy Array Principles", "Basic Encyclopedia of Sage Particles", "Common Types of Sage Manuscripts"..."

The old man muttered the name of the book.

Soon there was a pile of books half the height of a person on the counter.

Li Nuo swept across the spine of the book from bottom to top, throwing deconstruction techniques continuously.

"Mark recommended that I start reading from "A Brief History of Alchemy in the Gold Federation". What do you think, boss?"

The old man didn't answer the question immediately, but moved his glasses and glanced at Li Nuo:

"Only people with rich reading experience will ask other people's opinions before formally contacting a subject... Have you received a good academic education? Young people. How did you join the security team as a deadly gunman?"

The old man shook his hand, and did not ask Li Nuo to answer the question:

"...If you want to study alchemy systematically, I recommend you start with "Basic Alchemy Theory". Although this book is boring, it is the general outline of the basic stage of learning. Understanding it is equivalent to roughly understanding Understand the principles of alchemy. At this time, if you read other books, you will know what the book is talking about, instead of reading "A Brief History" as a storybook like Mark's kid. The evolution of alchemy in "A Brief History" The journey is the main theme of the whole book, and those bloody plots of fighting and killing are just desserts for dinner."

"Very pertinent advice, thank you boss. How much is "Basic Theory"?" Li Nuo smiled.

"The full set of "Basic Theory" has three volumes, the first, the middle, and the second. You can buy the first volume first, 1,500 aggregate coins."

1500 for a book?

hiss…

Li Nuo was slightly taken aback, and couldn't figure out why alchemy books were so expensive for a while.

Is it normal that in the Golden Federation, the price of alchemy books is much more expensive than guns, food, etc.?

Considering the relationship between the bookstore and Iron Thorn Shield, the bald boss probably didn't cheat him.

Li Nuo fumbled in his pocket, took out all the banknotes on his body and handed them over. He didn't even keep the money from Mark for buying clothes, which was just over 1,500 yuan.

The old man pushed the first book and the change forward, bent down and took the rest of the books back into the drawer:

"If you feel that you can't read it anymore, you can return the book, but I can only return half of the aggregate coins to you. This is the rule in the city. You can ask around."

"Okay, boss."

Li Nuo picked up the book and left in no hurry.

He slowed down, his eyes hidden under the lens swept quickly, and threw out a lot of deconstruction techniques.

After reading all the books in the bookstore, he nodded slightly and shook his hand at the lying old man:

"Let's go, boss."

"Oh, be gentle when you push the door, the hinges are about to break."

After leaving the door, Li Nuo checked the system messages in his mind while walking back.

[You used the deconstruction technique to completely deconstruct 218 books, accumulatively consumed 5575 energy points, and the current energy value is 15587/16 points. 】

"Hey hey hey. I'm a coward, and you, the system, you are the real weapon of prostitution~ wow~"

Don't think that searching bookstores with energy points is a loss-making business.

Li Nuo has read it. The most expensive book in the bookstore is on the wall behind the old man. It is protected by an acrylic cover, and there is a velvet cushion underneath.

The cover of the book is shiny gold, with limited edition words and the author's autograph on the cover.

Obviously, it's the old man's treasure, a real treasure!

Although there is no price tag, it must be very expensive, otherwise the old man wouldn't show it off like this.

Of all the books deconstructed, the one that consumes the most energy should be this book.

Li Nuo searched in his mind, and soon found this unusual book:

"Alchemy Suit: Supreme Computing Power - The Most Outstanding Alchemy Invention of This Century".

Limited deluxe edition.

Confederation limited edition of 100 copies.

Comes with the autograph of the original author Taurmanks.

The energy consumption to deconstruct it is:

4000 points!

You know, Li Nuo only spent 10 points to deconstruct "Basic Theory of Alchemy Volume 1".

If "Basic Theory Volume 1" is worth 1,500 aggregate coins, how much is this book worth 4,000 points to deconstruct?

600000…

Wow, awesome.

Saved 600,000 at once.

Li Nuo gave the system another thumbs up.

Thanks to Ye Jiangming for the reward of 500 points!

Thanks for the 100 points rewarded by hvkjv!

Thanks to Li Lushan for the reward of 1100 points!

Thanks to Changdaoan, Zhongerguangmao, Fengshui Sanren, Iron Powder around the Dragon City, and the source of Suiyuan for the monthly tickets!
