Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 202 Engraving

  The second wave of enemies comes slower than the first wave, and the number of enemies is not as large as the first wave.

Ma Lu’s potatoes were roasted for a full 15 minutes before less than 20 activated plants gathered under the stone.

 Skylark, Ouroboros, and Bird of Paradise did not activate their skills. They only used Level A to attack those high-HP activated plants first and control the blood line.

After turning over the chessboard map, Malu increased the firepower of the cassette stove. The potato was almost blackened by him, and then he added a handful of enoki mushrooms to it.

It's hard to say how much energy fluctuation there is, but the fragrance is definitely enough, even he smells a little hungry.

 Another 10 minutes passed, and there were already more than fifty activated plants under the stone, and they were coming menacingly.

Especially among them there is a 3-star golden corn shooter, which is more than ten times stronger than the ordinary corn shooter. If the ordinary corn shooter is a small pistol, then the golden corn shooter is a Maxim heavy machine gun.

The shots kept coming, and one person was so heavy that the three people on the other side of the skylark didn't dare to show their heads.

Ma Lu looked at the chessboard map again. Except for a few scattered nearby activated plants that might be stuck by the terrain, they had basically gathered under the stones, forming a circular vacuum zone with a diameter of 120 blocks.

 This should also be the farthest distance that the energy fluctuations produced by roasting activated plants can be transmitted.

Furthermore, Ouroboros's Acid Rain spell yielded amazing benefits. After two rounds, Malu gained another wave of experience and was once again on the verge of upgrading.

So Malu didn't wait any longer, summoned Ouroboros and released two consecutive rounds of acid rain.

 The so-called engraving is to enchant a weapon with special materials. After enchanting, new effects can be added to the weapon.

 “Is that so?”

Talent is such an unreasonable thing.

The Paladins want people to go to the Goradot Mountains to collect more than 4 pieces of meteorite debris. The mission rewards are quite generous.

This reminded him of the collection task that appeared on the taskbar last week.

These are almost the basic operations of the second game. What really interests Ma Lu is that the materials needed for engraving are actually meteorite fragments.

Each time the acid rain spell is released, Ouroboros's sin value will be increased by 15 points. Four times is 60 points. However, even so, there are still 8 larks short of her maximum sin value of 200 points.

“As far as I know, the church has been secretly conducting meteorite research recently, and some researchers have published related papers, but the papers were soon withdrawn and can no longer be found.”

 After getting rid of the 7 activated plants with residual health on the ground, he was promoted again without any surprise. The knight level reached lv10, and then unlocked a new module - engraving.

 “Have you read that article?”

“No, but a teacher in the school read it and said that it is a quite novel direction. If it succeeds, it may subvert the entire equipment manufacturing system of the church. However, it will take at least ten years before the actual results are realized.”

 White equipment cannot be engraved, blue equipment can be engraved once, purple equipment twice, gold equipment three times...

He then asked several witches under his command. Among them, Skylark, Cerberus, and even Ouroboros knew nothing about engraving and similar concepts. Only Bird of Paradise thought about it.

Ma Lu didn’t know if this meant that the church had also discovered the imprinting effect of meteorite fragments, or if it was just a coincidence.

The activated plants at this distance are still walking in their own way, not moving too much, and they look no different from half an hour ago.

Ma Lu has played a lot of second games, and he knew what they were when he saw these two words. Then he clicked on them to verify, and it was indeed similar to what he had in mind.

Ma Lu touched his chin. According to Bird of Paradise, it is obvious that the church has also noticed the effect of meteorites, but they should still be studying the engraving technology.

On the other hand, he has already entered the application stage.

 There is no other way, who let him get into trouble? In this case, you might consider collecting meteorite fragments ahead of the church for your own use.

 What, you ask what to do with the mission after taking the fragments, of course... don't accept the mission.

Ma Lu planned to take some time to go to the Goradot Mountains later to see if he could still pick up meteorite fragments there.

Since opening the new module, his board map has also been upgraded simultaneously, and meteorite fragments are now displayed as green icons on the map.

In other words, as long as there are meteorite fragments within the map, Malu can get the news as soon as possible and can also check their specific locations.

 Greatly facilitates future collection work.

However, unless there happens to be other tasks in the Goradot Mountains, he needs to have enough time to be free to do private work.

Ma Lu planned to upgrade the traveler's bracelet to a few more levels after returning this time.

 …

 After counting the harvest, everyone rested for a while and used the effect of the recovery flag to replenish their HP.

 Then set off again.

Ouroboros was secretly observing Malu along the way, but the more he looked at her, the more confused he became.

This guy is obviously a newbie and has only gone out on two missions, but he is in a more relaxed state than many veterans.

You must know that this is in the wild. If you are not careful, you may be ambushed by activated plants, resulting in attrition or even the death of the group.

Although knighthood is a career that all boys in the city aspire to, the actual casualty rate is still very high, and few knights survive to the age of retirement.

The only thing shorter-lived than the knights is probably the witches under their command. After all, once the knights die, even if the witches can escape back to the Temple City alive, they will still be hanged by the church.

Because of this, except for the heartless aliens like Cerberus who rely on instinct to live, no matter knights or witches, their spirits will always be tense after leaving the Temple City.

 However, she could not see the tension caused by death in Malu.

　　On the contrary, the knight in front of him looked very relaxed. Walking among the ruins of the city was like walking in his own living room wearing slippers.

 But it happened that he never encountered any sudden attacks along the way.

Even if there is an activated plant approaching, Malu will point out the enemy's location and name in advance before anyone else in the team can react.

Every battle that occurred along the way seemed to be under his control.

Ouroboros couldn't figure out how Millipede did it.

Of course, she couldn't figure out where the big stone came from. Not only did it block the attacks of the activated plants, but the wounds would heal on their own when sitting on it.

 Ouroboros even began to believe what Malu said.

Perhaps that huge stone was really placed there by the Lord of Order.

 But in the short time she got along with Malu, she couldn't see Malu's loyalty to the Lord of Order and the church.

This guy was willing to cover her up and hide it for her even though he had already seen through her identity. This made Ouroboros even more confused about where Malu was from.
