Chapter 576 [Chaos Magic] and [Item Crafting]
When the old tree monkey was young, he was also a ruthless person who snatched food from the mouths of predators.
Unfortunately, he is now old, and the several gene chains in his body are completely unable to support his now aged body.
Several internal organs in his body have been replaced with mechanical ones, and the days of living on the edge of a knife are no longer suitable for him.
That's why he organized this team of scavengers, hoping to try his luck and earn some money for his retirement.
As the leader of the scavenger team, he is the real decision maker. Although his seemingly old and hunched body is strong enough to unleash power that terrifies the other team members.
The feelings or intuition of the other team members were obviously not very convincing, so they could only follow the boss obediently.
The old tree monkey was not completely without any doubts, but he would rather suppress his doubts about this unusual thing.
Generally, it is accompanied by certain secrets, and secrets are very valuable.
A scavenger amphibious spacecraft passed through the high-altitude acid rain layer and headed towards the target.
Soon, it reached its destination and hovered a hundred meters above, carefully observing the strange thing in front of it.
This thing looks square, several thousand meters high, even protruding out of the acid rain layer. There are thick metal columns arranged at regular intervals, and the entire thing is embedded in the mountain.
There were some rubble on the ground, and the cracks on the edges looked very new, as if they had collapsed from the mountain.
After a close look, the old smart terminal quickly sketched out a model and projected it in front of everyone.
"This thing... looks a little strange."
"Yes, those straight metal columns are arranged neatly..."
"...The gaps between them are filled with rocks, so the sonar ripples have such a strange appearance..."
"...I feel like this cage appeared directly in the mountain, so it squeezed out those stones..."
Many team members were discussing it, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what this thing was.
"This is a cage." The old tree monkey suddenly said. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then someone said, "The boss is very knowledgeable. He can tell at a glance that this thing is a cage."
"Damn it, stop licking it and go down and take a look. I have a feeling there must be good stuff in here." The old tree monkey was certain that there had never been such a cage on this planet before.
Otherwise, it would have been drilled through by someone long ago, how could it have survived until now?
And this thing obviously didn't erupt from a cosmic volcano.
He had a premonition that all his wealth in this life might come from this thing.
The transport ship landed quickly, flipped over, and metal tracks extended from under the old shell. A shiny metal drill appeared at the front. It was the newest thing on the spacecraft.
The drill hummed as it forcibly broke through the surrounding rocks and headed towards the depths of the cage.
Wow!
Soon, the tip of the drill finally penetrated the rock and entered an open area.
All the team members walked down, turned on the searchlights, and observed the surrounding environment.
This is a 10×10 space with smooth stone walls, as if they had been cut by something.
Thick black metal chains extend from the four corners and finally converge on the silver-white metal platform in the center.
"Boss, why do I feel like this place is a little weird?"
There are cages and chains, and these guys make me feel a little scared.
"What's so weird? I feel the most comfortable here." The old tree monkey glared at the other party fiercely, and then shouted: "You are all standing like fucking corpses, get to work!"
"If you don't know how to work, don't collect your salary this month!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took out various detectors and began scanning the surroundings.
The metal chains and the metal platform were key areas that could not be missed. He muttered, "There is no sign of rust. This must be some kind of high-strength alloy."
He carefully took out a thumb-thick metal knife from his pocket and lightly scratched it, leaving no mark.
"Fuck, the strength is even higher than that of B-grade alloy. Just a few of these chains, if we cut them off and take them out, we will have a huge fortune."
Hearing this, everyone became more excited. The better and higher the stuff was, the higher the points they would get.
However, this also means more unknown risks.
"Damn it, bring the cutting gun quickly." said the old tree monkey angrily.
The team members enthusiastically used high-energy plasma cutting tools. This cutting tool, which is driven by compressed energy, can spit out flames as high as 500,000 degrees.
It is considered the most precious thing for their entire scavenger team.
There is no way. For these scavengers, the most fearful thing is not finding good things.
But after finding the good stuff, you can't take it away, so you must not save money on mining equipment.
However, something happened that stunned them.
I saw the blazing blue-purple flames gushing out on the black chains, but it still did not cause any damage and the chains did not move at all.
"Oh my goodness, even a high-energy plasma cutting gun can't cut it. Such a hard material is not needed to build an A-class energy engine."
He looked shocked, and then collapsed. The good news was that this thing was far more valuable than he had imagined, but the bad news was that they couldn't take it away.
The old tree monkey was furious and tried to do it himself, but no trace was left.
I can only stop in disappointment. In this period of time, the high-energy plasma cutting and the consumed compressed energy blocks are a considerable fortune.
The flames of excitement in everyone's hearts seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"No way! We discovered an unknown relic, but didn't get anything valuable. Was it a wasted trip?" A pair of team members wailed.
"Don't worry about this thing, go take a look at the metal platform in the middle." The old tree monkey was reluctant to leave, but he had to turn around and leave.
After all the ups and downs, everyone was feeling a little sad. If nothing had been discovered, they might have felt even better than they were now.
The silver-white metal platform looks like a column embedded in stone.
However, after some team members dug dozens of meters down along the edge, they confirmed that this thing was not embedded in the stone at all, but was integrated with the entire outer cage.
"Md, I don't believe there's nothing in here!"
"Such a huge cage, made of such solid material, must contain something unimaginable."
“Please, open it…” The old tree monkey sometimes flew into a rage, sometimes burst into tears, and even knelt in front of the metal platform to perform some ancient rituals.
The rest of the team members looked at each other and could only search around to see if there were any clues.
At this moment, accompanied by a click, fluorescent cracks appeared on the surface of the silver-white metal table, and then slowly opened.
The old tree monkey, who was ready to shed blood, hurriedly stopped the action. This is a method used in some ancient cultures.
The silver-white metal table cracked in the middle, and a tray slowly emerged in the center. On top of it was a black metal box with a smooth surface and no visible cracks.
"Boss, how did you do that?"
"Haha, I finally got something."
"What is this?"
Everyone gathered around in surprise, touching and knocking here and there.
Although I don't know what this thing is, but judging from its appearance and the solidity of the metal, it will easily be sold on the black market.
"I've seen everything in the world. I have my own ways." The old tree monkey got up from the ground, looking mysterious.
I was secretly wondering in my heart, was all that crying really useful?
"Fuck, this thing weighs 1,346 tons. What kind of density is this metal? It seems that only the density of a neutron star's core can be compared..." Some team members have already started testing familiarly.
Although this thing has a very high density, fortunately they have the relevant equipment and can still take it away.
"This looks like a box. Is there any treasure inside?"
"Even if there is, we can't open it."
"Md, I just got a box. I'm so unwilling."
"It's good to have something!" The old tree monkey glared at him:
"I'll make up a story about the remains of an ancient civilization, saying that this thing contains a huge secret. Plus, with this high-density and high-strength alloy, it should be able to sell for a good price."
He then asked everyone to load the device onto the transport ship.
Things of this density placed in a compressed space can easily cause the internal collapse of the compressed space.
This is the only thing that can be taken away from here. No matter how unwilling everyone is, they can only leave temporarily.
However, one of the team members in the spaceship said thoughtfully:
"This entire cage won't be made of that special metal, right? In this case, although we can't cut it, we can take it away as a whole."
"Forget it. The density of this metal is too high. Don't you see that the surrounding crust is collapsing? If you want to take this huge cage away, you need at least a Sureas-class super transport ship."
"Even if we were sold, we wouldn't even be enough to pay for one hook."
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, only the old tree monkey's eyes flickered. Although he couldn't take it away, he could regard this cage as an additional message of the black metal box.
I'm afraid someone might be interested.
The spaceship quickly left here. The old tree monkey knew that the most important thing now was to sell this thing as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once this cage is known to others, the information attached to it will be worthless.
…
[Special Item—Power of Chaos: Chaos magic from Scarlet Witch, has the ability to change everything.
After use - reality can be modified to some extent. 】
The scarlet witch figurine kept turning over and over in his hands, and her little face seemed to be very angry.
This was naturally the gain from Scarlet Witch, but this time, Number Two still failed to kill the Scarlet Witch.
Last time he was forced back by Doctor Strange using the Time Stone due to various external factors, plus the entire Avengers were looking for him.
He also came into contact with the Scarlet Witch and was about to kill her, but the chaos magic in the Scarlet Witch's body suddenly exploded, and Number Two failed, allowing the other party to escape.
I only got this [Power of Chaos].
Chaos magic and the Reality Stone have similarities, not only because they are both red, but also because they can change reality.
Although this [Power of Chaos] is a consumable and cannot compare to the [Reality Gem], Li Yu does not have to pay for it.
Of course, in addition to this thing, there is another very interesting thing from Iron Man.
Not long after separating from Scarlet Witch, he met this protagonist among protagonists.
This guy is not yet on par with the gods and was killed in one round, but No. 2 did not kill him. Instead, he took him away, as if setting a trap.
Even so, after many beatings, there were still unexpected gains.
[Special Items—Item Crafting: A skilled maker can craft multiple items into something more powerful.
Fusing two or more things together can either create a new item or fail.
(Note: The higher the fit, the smaller the number, and the higher the success rate)]
Interesting... Li Yu stroked his chin. This thing might create something more powerful, but it might also cause great losses, like gambling.
However, if the degree of fit is relatively high, the success rate can be increased, which is quite comforting.
This thing is quite interesting. Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He has already thought of some uses for it, such as strengthening the Death Star.
But he did not act rashly . What Li Yu cared about was not the specific effects, but the information hidden in this instruction.
Under the rules of the main universe, it is obviously impossible to "forge and fuse" physical objects.
This means that this "creation" is completed by the system and the capabilities are also granted by the system.
Once successful, the item becomes a system item and will definitely come with an instruction manual.
The "instructions" are quite powerful. Basically, everything can be handled by the system and everything is clearly arranged.
He casually flipped through the system page again, and of course there were some other things, all obtained through wanton destruction and murder.
Things like [Title – Killer] and [Explosion-proof Shield] are of no use to him.
Li Yu felt relieved after getting these two items, and he also relaxed from the anxiety caused by the slow progress of the Titan gene chain.
Modulating the Titan gene chain is obviously not a simple task. Even if there are enough gene samples, it will take a lot of time to perfect it.
Fortunately, Li Yu now has enough manpower and resources, and is no longer in the poor situation he was in before where he couldn't keep up in any aspect.
In addition to the previous experience in modulating the God's gene chain, many researchers cooperated well. Although the difficulty increased, the modulation time was shortened.
