Because of the time difference, Zong Shen doesn't have to worry about anyone rushing to cash it out now.
There is a full six or seven hours gap between him and the other lords.
When he began to contact the mysterious merchant Alpha, the other lords should have completed the exchange for the mysterious merchant Beta.
Even if a few lords missed Alpha before and delayed getting a chance to contact it until now, they should still spend their points on Beta.
After all, alpha in different time periods has completely different meanings.
The further time goes by, the less important he is to the lord. Beta is just the opposite. As time goes by, Beta will become more and more important to the lord. Zong Shen is just because of the reopening.
The time difference caused it to be just one step slower.
There is no problem with the general steps.
After briefly checking the functions and tactical value of the remaining [Alchemy Weapons], Zong Shen chose to wrap them all.
The main driving method of these [Alchemy Weapons] is magic energy, and some of them use special ammunition for magic energy gunpowder to launch attacks.
For example, those [Magic Missile Launchers] and [Magic Fire Guns] need to be exchanged for special ammunition to be effective.
Among them, [Magic Missile] even provides two different ammunition types [armor-piercing type] and [high-explosive type] for redemption.
But now all these alchemical firearms have been exchanged.
All that was left to Zong Shen were those magic weapons.
He first spent 26,000 points to exchange for 13 [Level 5 Magic Cannons (Orange)], and he was no stranger to this stuff.
The [Magic Cannon Tower] in the territory is equipped with something similar.
And before that, he had opened a [Level 4 Magic Cannon] from the treasure chest, but there was an additional note at the end with the words "Human Technology".
Those green-skinned goblins are not the only ones who can play with [Alchemy Technology], [Rune Technology] and master [Magic Craft].
Humans and the Three Fort dwarves also have in-depth research on this technology, but they are not as good as the green goblins in terms of technical achievements and craftsmanship, but their progress in the general direction is not far behind, and can even be said to be on par.
The green-skinned goblins are most praised for their "alchemy technology" and "mechanical engineering". Their technical talents in this area are famous among the intelligent races throughout the Endless Continent.
The dwarves of Sanbao are proficient in [Rune Technology], especially [Rune Forging Technology]. In the last era, this technology once reached its peak. The dwarves used this technology to develop many new materials, which greatly
Promoted the development of weapons, armor, and golem craftsmanship.
But later on, with the end of the era, the dwarves of the Three Forts moved to the "Fortified Wall of the Gods" and lived low-key in that high mountain area. The related [rune forging technology] was also lost a lot. Today's dwarves have finally mastered it.
The level of heat is still unknown.
In this regard, humans are a mediocre race. Humans have mastered some of the technologies mastered by dwarves and goblins, but they have not reached the level of these two races. However, in fields related to [Magic Technology], and
In terms of forging magical objects, humans have maintained a leading position.
Even in the field of [mechanical engineering], he has made great achievements.
In the Endless Continent, human mechanical engineers are only slightly inferior to goblin engineers in terms of general reputation.
Therefore, Zong Shen could not guarantee which ethnic group made the magic weapon that the mysterious merchant Alpha exchanged.
Judging from the satisfactory attribute standards of the [Magic Energy Bomb] previously exchanged, it is estimated that the probability is human technology.
After Zong Shen's points were deducted, the thirteen [Level 5 Magic Cannons (orange)] also condensed and were piled on the open space in front of him.
Fortunately, the space of the Mysterious Hall is not too small, and it has a certain folding and twisting nature, otherwise it would be really difficult to accommodate so many [Magic Cannons] when they suddenly appeared.
As fifth-level [Magic Cannons], these big guys are not small in size.
Each door is equipped with a wheeled push frame, and there is a retractable triangle frame at the back to stabilize the gun body.
There are height and direction machines between the push frame and the gun body to adjust the firing angle and direction. After deployment, they can be adjusted within a certain range. It seems to be a curved and flat dual-purpose artillery.
Their shape is also not like the early muzzleloader cannons on Earth, because they do not use the method of gunpowder detonation to push solid projectiles to attack, and they do not even require physical shells.
Essentially, these [Magic Cannons] bombard by condensing magic energy bombs.
So they are not the same as those black powder smoothbore cannons on Earth.
The front end is a cylinder with a diameter of less than 40 centimeters, the rear end is a square magic energy bomb generator and energy storage part, and there is a simple launch control switch above.
The barrel part is gray-black, and a large number of runes are engraved in the barrel to accelerate and consolidate the launch of magic energy bullets.
The chaotic magic energy stirred up after the magic energy bomb hits will cause an explosive killing effect.
There is no strong smoke and fire, but it has similar explosive impact and concussion. At the same time, through various enchantment transformations, it can launch special shells such as [Frost Magic Energy Bullet] and [Fire Magic Energy Bullet]. This is Zong Shen's point.
[Magic Cannon Tower] I have already experienced it there.
Different from trebuchets and crossbows, these [Magic Cannons] do have all the characteristics of artillery weapons. The magic energy is consumed very quickly under full firepower, and the durability of the artillery itself will also increase significantly with the frequency of firing.
of reduction.
It is no exaggeration to say that these [Magic Cannons] are real war consumables.
In fact, they should not be called "artillery", but "magic cannon" which would be more appropriate.
Zong Shen stepped away from the place and took out the [Pascal Covenant's Big Bag (Gold)] for storage and placement. These big things could not be packed into the storage compartment, and they could only be transported using space magic items.
When there was only the last [Level 5 Magic Cannon (orange)] left, he stopped collecting it, stared at the cannon body, and checked its detailed attribute parameters.
[Level 5 Magic Cannon (Orange)]
[Quality: Legendary offensive and defensive equipment]
[Range: 150 meters ~ 5500 meters]
[Explosion damage: 193~219]
[Explosion range: radius 40 meters]
[Launch interval: 22 seconds]
[Sturdiness value: 3000]
[Armor value: 35]
[Magic resistance: 40]
[Durability: 4500]
[The bombardment will consume 300 points of mana]
[Requires gunner: 1]
[Magic energy reserve: 0/90000]
[Skill: Rapid Fire LV10 (reduces the firing interval by 4 seconds, lasts for 15 minutes, and has a cooling time of 4 hours)
Activate the lightweight wind spirit rune (can be turned on or off at any time. When turned on, it can effectively reduce the weight of the artillery. It is suitable for promoting deployment and mobile transfer. When turned on, an additional 6 points of mana will be consumed per second)]
[Passive skill: Fire oil incendiary bomb (lack of enchanting parts, temporarily unable to take effect)
Freeze slow bomb (lack of enchantment parts, temporarily unable to take effect)
Attrition: Each shelling will reduce durability by 15 points.
Observation mode (the gunner can enter the observation mode and observe the battlefield in the range of 150 meters to 4500 meters from a near-ground overlooking angle. The viewing angle is large and far, and a certain amount of observation and aiming prediction is required)]
[Squad skill: Xu Jin Barrage (you need to deploy twelve artillery pieces of the same level and the same type to activate the squad skill, reduce the artillery firing interval, unified launch instructions, launch ten rounds of bombardment on the designated area in the next 120 seconds, the barrage will
It will slowly advance a certain distance, and the cooling time is 2 hours)]
(The 'naked' magic artillery with two less components makes the team more powerful. Xu Jin's barrage is the magic version of the artillery fire.
As for its other functions, you must be familiar with them
Because of the lightweight wind spirit runes, these artillery can quickly advance or relocate when necessary)
…
In fact, Zong Shen is indeed no stranger to these things.
Whether it is the [Level 4 Giant Turret (Purple)] obtained shortly after the advent, or the [Generation 4 Magic Cannon] drawn from the box later, they are essentially the same type of thing.
The active and passive skills they possess are also similar.
[Tier 4 Giant Turret (Purple)] comes with the active skill of [Quick Reload LV5], the passive skill of firing [Fire Oil Bullets] and [Freezing Bullets] at intervals, and the [Gunner Mode] for battlefield observation.
The [4th Generation Magic Cannon (Purple)] is similar. It also has [Quick Reload LV5] as an active skill. As for the passive skills, it also fires [Grapnel] and [Armor-piercing Shells] at intervals. In addition, there is also a function called [Elevation Angle Mode].
Observation skills.
In overall comparison, the homogeneity is obvious, but the level of [Level 5 Magic Cannon (orange)] is higher after all, so the explosion damage, explosion range and attack distance are much stronger.
Generally speaking, it is not a loss to redeem these thirteen [Level 5 Magic Cannons (Orange)]. They can be deployed on the defense matrix around the territory as a weapon for defending the city, or they can be deployed as space storage props.
Used as a siege weapon on the battlefield.
After confirming its attributes and parameters, Zong Shen put the last [Level 5 Magic Cannon (Orange)] into [Pascal Contract's Big Pocket (Gold)].
The exchange projection interface in place did not change its position as he moved, and seemed a bit dull. Unlike the interface of the lord system, which was directly projected into the consciousness, the exchange interface here was just a simple projection.
It can just be controlled by his beliefs, just like a light curtain panel.
Therefore, Zong Shen quickly returned to the place after collecting all the [Level 5 Magic Cannons (Orange)].
While he was still wearing armor, every step he took was quite heavy.
Zong Shen didn't specifically measure his weight after he arrived, and he didn't know whether changes in strength would lead to changes in weight.
After all, his body density has increased a lot. If the current arm strength is measured by numerical values, it may have reached the point where a single arm can weigh several tons or even ten tons.
He doesn't know the specifics, because the attribute values here can measure almost all indicators, and even if he has strong power, after adapting, he can also complete various delicate operations, which will have almost no impact on daily life.
Stepping back to the projection of the exchange interface, Zong Shen was ready to continue the exchange.
There were three remaining [Level 6 Demon Slayer Magic Energy Giant Crossbow (Gold)] and a set of [Level 6 Magic Energy Cluster Launcher (Gold)], and he directly redeemed them all in one go.
It cost 20,500 challenge points, which is actually not that expensive. After all, these weapons are not one-time consumables.
Unless it suffers devastating damage or exhausts its durability, it can be recharged and used multiple times.
Zong Shen's challenge point balance has changed to [3429772], which has been significantly reduced.
It seems that although he has a lot of points, he is far from spending them all.
Just being with Mysterious Merchant Alpha consumed about three million of his challenge points. It is worth mentioning that hundreds of thousands of points were spent on questions and additional services.
Including when he redeemed the [Level 5 Magic Cannon (orange)] just now, Alpha has always performed his duty of explanation, but Zong Shen didn't really listen.
Now that all the flowers have been spent, there is no reason to regret it.
Anyway, Zong Shen believed that none of these points were wasted, including those questions that were not cheap. At least it broadened his understanding of the Endless Continent and this lord "game".
The information revealed by the mysterious businessman Alpha cannot be found anywhere.
“Exchange is quite tiring…”
Zong Shen rubbed his eyes. He had taken off his battle helmet long ago, and now he felt his eyes were a little sore.
Exchange is also a science. He needs to understand every item he exchanges, so that he can know it well, so that each exchange item can be arranged in the most reasonable place and play its greatest role. Only in this way can
It’s worth the money!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Efficient and reasonable arrangements for the materials and props in hand can also create additional income, making development and deployment more effective with half the effort.
After the challenge points were deducted, the three [Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Energy Giant Crossbows (Gold)] and the entire set of [Level 6 Demon Energy Concentrated Launchers (Gold)] he exchanged were also condensed, occupying an endless space.
Small open space.
Speaking of which, Zong Shen has always been quite interested in these [alchemy weapons].
They have the characteristics of mass destruction, and their tactical use is similar to [Magic Bomb]. They are very useful against those insect-level cannon fodder mobs that are not high-level but have a large number. Even high-level enemies can be attacked by a wave of artillery fire.
Washing the ground or dropping bombs can also disrupt the situation on the battlefield and create opportunities for "king vs. king" duels.
Zong Shen still felt a sense of accomplishment when he looked at the magic weapon in front of him.
He adds bricks and tiles to the construction of the territory like an ant moving.
One day, he will rely on his accumulated persistence to build a truly super giant city and supreme territory!
At this time, Alpha, who was standing next to him, seemed to notice Zong Shen's fatigue. He turned his right hand in a circle behind him, and when he stretched it out again, there was a cup of hot coffee on the tray. The delicate little silver spoon rested on the cup.
wall.
Just when Zong Shen was about to step forward to check, Alpha suddenly stepped forward, stopped in front, bowed politely and said.
"You seem to be mentally exhausted, why don't you take a short rest."
"Drinking a good cup of hot coffee can effectively relieve your emotional and mental fatigue."
Zong Shen turned his eyes and glanced at the cup of hot coffee in Alpha's hand. It turned out to be a purple rare-level buff...
After taking it, you can recover mental fatigue and remove mental/mind control skills below level four.
"Is there a fee?"
Zong Shen did not pick it up, but asked cautiously.
Now he will not waste points to buy any services, even a cup of coffee like this.
Hearing his question, the mysterious businessman Alpha laughed instead.
"Hoo ho ho..."
"I am a businessman, but I am not a philistine."
"I'll treat you to this free cup."
Having said this, he snapped his fingers with his other hand.
"Snapped!"
"Time pauses!"
At this time, the exchange countdown has stopped!
"I will give you ten minutes as a gift. Please have a cup of coffee and take a good rest."
"Exchange items always need to be carefully selected, and you have to consider the needs of all aspects, which is really draining of people's energy. As a former lord, I can completely understand your current state."
Alpha's words are thoughtful and sincere.
After Zong Shen hesitated for a moment, he still raised his hand to take it.
"Then...thank you."
He nodded slightly and thanked her, then took a sip of coffee.
The bitter taste filled the mouth and occupied the taste, but soon turned into a sweet and mellow taste. After swallowing it, the spirit was suddenly lifted, just like taking a cold shower, sweeping away the fatigue.
"You're too polite. This is just a small token of my generosity to you."
Alpha showed a peaceful smile and replied politely.
Zong Shen quickly drank the coffee in his hand, and looked at Alpha's attitude and sighed in his heart.
"This guy is not a pure profiteer."
Although his affection for Alpha increased a lot, Zong Shen did not show it and immediately diverted his attention by thinking about other things. After all, Alpha could feel him in the mysterious palace.
vague thoughts.
I have to admit that a small concern like this is indeed very popular, but no one can say whether there is any other purpose hidden behind this show of kindness.
After drinking the coffee three times, five times and two times, the empty coffee cup in Zong Shen's hand, along with the tray and silver spoon, turned into fine dots of light and disappeared without any need for cleaning.
Taking advantage of Alpha's pause, Zong Shen was going to have a few words with him to see if this kid had any information he wanted to hint at.
Previously, Alpha leaked some secrets and was warned by the lord system. Then this guy changed his original chatty image and became silent. Apart from fulfilling the responsibilities of introduction, he basically did not talk any gossip.
It can be seen that this guy seems to be happy to confide the secrets about the lord's "game" to himself, as if he is planning something in advance.
Maybe this sudden gesture of goodwill was also to secretly tell me some information?
Sure enough, after Zong Shen drank his coffee, Alpha looked around.
He used his authority and suspended the exchange time for ten minutes. At this time, the mysterious palace was in an alternative time-stop state.
After careful confirmation, Alpha's expression suddenly changed from gentle to serious.
"Time is limited, so I won't talk nonsense to you."
"You are the most promising among the lords I have met."
"In the future, if you can go to the Supreme Prism, I hope you can help me participate in the fight for the sovereignty of the Lord."
"As long as you have this in mind, it's best not to mention this word again in the future. One day you will understand."
Alda's tone was urgent and her eyes were as bright as stars. She lost her previous businessman image and became more capable.
However, he still maintained a certain amount of respect for Zong Shen, calling him "you" from the beginning to the end. After saying this nonsense, Alpha suddenly changed his expression as if changing his face.
He also winked at Zong Shen a little mischievously, causing goosebumps to appear on Zong's arms.
Neither of them spoke, and Alpha knew that Zong Shen had listened.
Zong Shen closed his eyes. Since there were basic rules that could not be regulated and interfered with thinking, his heart became the safest safe.
He looked calm on the surface, but there was already a turmoil in his heart.
"Is Alpha trying to... win over me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Supreme prism...?"
"Help him fight for the right to dominate the world...?"
Zong Shen reviewed it in his mind, vaguely feeling that there was some big secret hidden in Alpha's words that could not be touched in a short time, but he was a little confused and couldn't figure out what these terms meant.
I can only guess that it is something related to "Lord System Permissions".
"call…"
He took a deep breath to calm down,
I decided to keep these words in mind and verify them when I have the opportunity in the future.
When Zong Shen opened his eyes again, his mood returned to a calm state. The cup of hot coffee had a good effect, and his mental fatigue was indeed relieved a lot.
Alpha and no one spoke to him until the short break ended and the countdown to exchange resumed. Zong Shen walked to the [Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Power Crossbow (Gold)] he exchanged as if nothing had happened.
】beside.
He took out [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)] again and collected two of the giant crossbows, leaving the remaining one quietly in its place, waiting for his inspection.
The [Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Energy Giant Crossbow (Gold)] in front of you has a metal disc base with a diameter of six meters, which can rotate 360° without any dead ends.
The giant crossbow is different from the conventional position crossbow as a whole. It has a crossbow arm, a crossbow machine, and a crossbow chamber, but it does not have a crossbow string and a matching winch.
Because it does not need to reload giant crossbow arrows, the fired crossbow arrows are condensed by magic energy.
The arm span of the crossbow machine is about five meters, and the length of the crossbow frame is four meters. There are also adjustment components similar to the height machine below, which can adjust the up and down angle and aim to a certain extent.
As long as the giant crossbow is placed on a high tower, it can achieve a full-range strike.
It can achieve both upward shooting into the air and horizontal shooting into the ground.
The lower disc base can be placed on most flat surfaces.
Such as towers, fortress shooting platforms, and even platforms built on the battlefield can be adapted.
It's just that the mobility is not very good. Unless you use space magic objects for rapid transfer, in most cases it can only be placed on the position.
It takes a lot of labor to lift it away.
Zong Shen leaned over and held the crossbow frame with both hands. His arms swelled and exerted force. He slowly lifted the heavy crossbow and then lowered it.
"It's quite heavy. These magic weapons are not light in weight."
He commented in his mind.
In fact, except for a few lightweight magic materials, most alloys made of rune-forged metal are not light in weight, so that the crossbow body can be strong enough.
The most effective way to reduce the weight of such magic weapons and magic vehicles is to place wind spirit runes and use the power of magic runes to reduce the weight.
The second is to use space props to store them directly, and there is no need to carry them directly. This is why the dwarf uncle's arms are all knotted muscles, and even Tie Zi has recruited a large number of apprentice handymen to help him.
After knowing what was going on, Zong Shen probably had a plan on how to place these three giant crossbows.
The main body of the giant crossbow is made of a large amount of rune-forged alloy. The silver-gray texture makes it look a bit sci-fi, less like a crossbow and more like some kind of technological equipment.
The rear part of the crossbow machine also has a set of magic energy gathering devices, which converts magic energy into crossbow arrows, condenses them on the crossbow barrel, and launches them.
Ultimately, this thing is an energy weapon.
After the preliminary appearance observation was completed, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes, and golden subtitles marking its attribute parameters slowly appeared.
[Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Power Crossbow (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic offensive and defensive equipment]
【Heavy Position Crossbow】
[Range: 100 meters ~ 2500 meters]
[Shooting height: 1200 meters]
[Puncture damage: 239~242]
[Explosion damage: 371~417]
[Explosion range: radius 5 meters]
[Attack interval: 30 seconds]
[Durability: 8000]
[Sturdiness value: 12500]
[Armor value: 85]
[Magic resistance: 60]
[Attack will consume 420 points of mana]
[Operator required: 2]
[Magic energy reserve: 0/180000]
[Active skill: Overclocking Condensation LV15 (reduces the shooting interval by 8 seconds, lasting 20 minutes, cooling time 6 hours)
Giant crossbow three hits LV20 (after activating this skill, three magic crossbow bolts will be fired continuously within three seconds, the explosion range of the hit will be expanded to a radius of 10 meters, and the cooling time will be 2 hours)
Magic energy shield (consume 50,000 points of magic energy at one time to open a spherical shield to protect the Demon Slayer's giant crossbow and a surrounding radius of eight meters. The shield has a solid value of 50,000 points and a dual resistance of 120 points, and can last for 30 minutes.
, cooling time 4 hours)】
[Passive skill: Demon Slayer (each crossbow strike carries an additional 500 points of holy light damage, and can cause double damage to the undead, undead, hell, abyss, demons, ghosts, etc.)
Shooting loss (each shot will reduce the durability of the crossbow by 15 points)
Waiting for charging (the charging speed is limited to 100 points per second, and the crossbow needs to stop attacking for more than ten minutes before it can be charged)]
(As you can see, this is a giant crossbow that can inflict holy light damage on the magic crossbow. Each crossbow hit can cause a small-scale explosion effect, causing multiple damage to the target hit.
First is the piercing damage of a single target hit, then is the area damage of the magic explosion, and finally is the additional holy light damage.
According to the level and blood volume of conventional arms, this magic energy giant crossbow can cause obvious damage to units of level 5 and below.
But its lethality against targets of level six and above is very limited.
So it is not suitable for participating in king versus king battles
However, it is a good choice to use these demon-slayer giant crossbows with magic artillery, both of which can effectively enhance your own attack strength)
…
The attribute parameters of the [Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Energy Giant Crossbow (Gold)] in front of him basically met Zong Shen’s psychological expectations.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As a sixth-level epic magic weapon, its power is enough.
You must know that common sixth-level warriors generally only have thousands or tens of thousands of health points.
Unless they are Dragonborn, Titans, Giants, Elementals and the like.
The legendary strong man with hundreds of thousands of health points is not a cabbage in the field, at least according to the situation in the Endless Continent.
Most of the main warriors in the city are between the second and fourth levels, with only a few fifth-level warriors as the mainstay, and some generals whose combat power ranges between the fourth and fifth levels.
Of course, there are also a small number of fortress-type cities with higher-level military strength.
As for the mainstream military strength of the giant city, it is from the third level to the fifth level. The upper levels of the sixth and seventh levels are high-end combat forces. The chief mages of most of the giant city's mage towers are only seventh-level magisters.
However, there are always one or two legendary strong men sitting in the giant city.
In addition, the throughput of people in the giant city is relatively large, and those who travel to and from the giant city may also have legendary strong men who belong to third-party forces or individual people.
All in all, this [Level 6 Demon Slayer Demon Energy Giant Crossbow (Golden)] is more than enough to deal with conventional force. If it encounters a surprise attack by a legendary powerhouse, only the king-on-king strategy is the most effective.
This type of city defense equipment and defensive arrow towers can only play a supporting role.
It's no problem to chip away at those miscellaneous soldiers.
Zong Shen thought, and the golden subtitles that appeared next to him disappeared.
He activated the storage portal of the big bag again and put away the giant crossbow.
The storage portal of the big pocket does not involve spatial changes, because it itself exists in the mysterious palace, so it will not be affected or hindered.
Just when Zong Shen was about to check the set of [6 Magic Energy Cluster Launchers (Gold)], Alpha suddenly added something.
"If we can build the best R&D team in the continent in the future, maybe it will bring you unexpected gains in the future..."
"There has never been a lord who can truly unite the power of one realm."
"These technologies also represent a power in themselves."
Alpha had introduced the whole process before, and both parties maintained a certain tacit understanding.
So he once again said something like a reminder, which seemed to imply that Zong Shen would form a strong R&D team as soon as possible in the future to specifically overcome technical problems in this area. Perhaps after reaching the peak, Zong Shen would be able to
Bring unexpected help.
He nodded noncommittally, without asking impatient questions or saying anything more. One thing that was certain was that Alpha was conveying goodwill to him.
Combined with what Alpha said before, it is not difficult to tell that the other party seems to be sure that he will meet him on a certain level in the future.
Zong Shen has reservations about this for the time being.
This chapter has been completed!
