Chapter 179 Mechanical City and Dark Continent

 Chapter 178

  The moment Rosen's teleportation ended, he immediately used the Void Shadow Escape to hide.

  He came to an enclosed space of about several hundred square meters, which was completely enclosed by metal and had no doors.

  There are some workbenches behind and a control console directly in front with dozens of light screens of various sizes on it.

  Through these light curtains, Rosen could see dozens of mechanical processing plants of all sizes.

  This console seemed to be able to remotely control these mechanical processing plants?

  Rosen didn't know how to operate it, but he could hack into the console's program through the virtual world of his left eye.

  Soon he gained access to the control console, which contained a lot of research data about this spiritual realm left by Faris.

  It turned out that the place where he was currently was actually the core of a Sequence 6 extraordinary construction machinery factory.

  As long as enough materials are provided, various sequence 6 mechanical creations can be mass-produced here.

  The alchemical flying dragon he once bought was assembled and produced here.

  However, this mechanical factory cannot be taken out of the spiritual realm, because some of the control over this mechanical factory is not yet within its control.

  Mechanical City, this is a mechanical city controlled by artificial intelligence.

  It used to belong to a branch of a mechanical civilization. One day, all the mechanical people in the city went crazy. The only artificial intelligence that remained sober launched a guardian program to kill all invaders that threatened the mechanical people and tried its best to improve the combat effectiveness of the mechanical city.

  In the end, the mechanical city was destroyed, and the history before the destruction constituted this spiritual realm.

  Rosen operated in the core control room for a while and called up the external surveillance of the machinery factory.

  At this time, the mechanical city was divided into two parts: the sky and the underground.

  The mechanical buildings suspended in the sky are well preserved, but the main body of the mechanical city on the surface is in complete ruins.

  Because the crazy mechanical race is killing each other crazily, the artificial intelligence cannot harm the mechanical race, so it can only suspend all important facilities into the air and let the mechanical race kill each other in the ground buildings.

  When the last mechanical race dies, the artificial intelligence will self-destruct according to the program.

  Then the spiritual realm was reset again and again, and the mechanical city was destroyed again and again.

  There is no need for human extraordinary people to actively come in and weaken it. The spiritual realm of the mechanical city will naturally become weaker and weaker and move towards destruction.

  However, ever since Faris discovered this spiritual realm, he began to continuously invest in order to gradually restore this spiritual realm to its original level.

  Through some means, Faris put the mechanical race, which was left with only a few survivors after killing each other, into hibernation.

  In this way, as long as the artificial intelligence does not die, this spiritual realm will no longer be reset.

  Then Faris threatened the lives of these mechanical people and forced the artificial intelligence to hand over the most core mechanical factory to Faris. Although the artificial intelligence seemed to have not taken any action in recent years, it had actually been studying the reasons why the mechanical people went crazy.

  Faris has also studied this reason, and his research progress is far beyond that of artificial intelligence.

  The strongest of the mechanical race in the mechanical city back then had reached Sequence 2. This one wanted to become Sequence 1. The common method for all races was to rely on faith, but the mechanical race was a rare race without faith.

  So this Sequence 2 studied a mind virus and wanted to enslave other mechanical races to believe in him.

  The result was obviously a failure, and all the mechanical people in the mechanical city became crazy.

  Today, the greatest value of this spiritual realm lies in two aspects: the mechanical technology of the mechanical race and this mechanical factory.

  Knowledge is easy to copy, and as the spiritual realm level increases, one can obtain mechanical technology knowledge up to Sequence 2.

  Mechanical creations can be produced through mechanical factories, but this sequence 6 mechanical factory cannot be taken out of the spiritual realm.

  Unable to take it away, its value to Rosen is very limited.

  Unless he can find a way to completely control this spiritual realm.

  There is essentially only one way to completely control this spiritual realm that was born from historical traces.

  That is to find the carrier of the historical traces of the spiritual realm. This thing may be a stone, a tree, a book, a house, or a life. There is no constant and no pattern.

  Moreover, the historical traces are condensed into carriers and cannot be detected by any means.

  Therefore, the usual practice is to eliminate all resistance within the spiritual realm, and then try to refine them one by one using spiritual power to find a needle in a haystack. If you are lucky enough to come across a carrier of historical traces, you can completely control the spiritual realm after successfully refining it.

  Of course, this also has a limitation. Humans can only refine human historical traces and condense carriers.

  The drawing paper that carries the spiritual paintings is essentially a man-made carrier of historical traces.

  First of all, Rosen is not a mechanical race, and he has no way to make artificial intelligence and crazy mechanical races give up resistance.

  If he could control this spiritual realm, Faris would not have left the machinery factory in this spiritual realm.

  So there is only one way left, which is to move away from this spiritual realm.

  Faris did not move this spiritual realm back to the Adventure King City. It is very likely that he used it as a retreat for his family.

  Rosen logged into the deep web of the spiritual world and soon bought extraordinary items specifically used for moving to the spiritual realm.

  Half an hour later, the messenger from the spirit world delivered a palm-sized space traction teleportation array.

  Rosen manipulated several mechanical puppets from the mechanical factory and brought the space traction teleportation array to the core position of the entire spiritual realm. After activation, the space traction teleportation array expanded to a diameter of tens of meters, and then dragged the spiritual realm to move little by little under his control.

  Rosen sent his self-portrait clone out of the spiritual realm, and then expanded the divine territory outside.

  Driven by the space traction teleportation array, the mechanical city spiritual realm was pulled into the divine territory bit by bit.

  From now on, the entrance to this spiritual realm will be bound to the interior of the divine domain.

  However, doing so also has a price. Pulling the spiritual realm into the divine territory is essentially the internal space of the divine territory wrapping up another space. So when the spiritual realm instinctively absorbs spirituality, what it absorbs is definitely the spirituality within the divine territory.

  Therefore, the number of spiritual realms that the divine territory can accommodate is limited, and it increases by almost one for each sequence level.

  Therefore, for a Sequence 6 divine territory, it is best not to host more than four spiritual realms, and the level of the spiritual realm should not exceed Sequence 6. Of course, if it is an artificial spiritual realm such as a spiritual realm painting, then the number of spiritual realms can be doubled at most.

  Now that Lingjing has moved back, Rosen is still not very satisfied.

  Because he can only control the mechanical factory inside the spiritual realm, he is unable to bring out the true value of this spiritual realm.

  Rosen thought of the Lord's Computer and wondered if the ability to invade the network could defeat artificial intelligence?

  He opened the mysterious study in the control center of the machinery factory and pulled the network cable out of the window.

  He was about to connect the network cable to the network port, but before he could connect it, the Lord God's computer had already given him a second option.

  After all the human world maps of the Hunter x Hunter Spirit Realm have been lit up, it is now possible to light up the map of the Dark Continent.

  Moreover, unlike the maps of the human world, it requires complete control of the human spiritual realm in order to light it up.

  The map of the Dark Continent can only be illuminated by using the alien spiritual realm that cannot be completely controlled.

  He can now integrate the entire Mechanical City Spiritual Realm into the Hunter x Hunter Spiritual Realm, thereby lighting up the map of the Dark Continent. At that time, the Mechanical City will also be integrated into the Dark Continent and become a part of the Dark Continent.

  Rosen turned on the Lord God's computer and opened the Hunter x Hunter Spirit Realm, and the map of the Dark Continent immediately appeared on the screen.

  You cannot choose the lighting range by yourself, and which part of the map is lit up is completely random.

  The moment Rosen chose to light up the map, the Lord God's computer released colorful light along the network cable, covering the entire mechanical city.

  However, in just a few moments, the mechanical city had been integrated into the Dark Continent, lighting up about one thousandth of the map.

  If there are more than a thousand alien spirit realms, the Hunter x Hunter spirit realm will be able to completely light up all maps and become a complete spirit realm.

  The newly lit map did not bring a new identity to Rosen, nor did it give him a God's perspective.

  In this spiritual realm that he has not completely mastered, he can only obtain basic teleportation permissions after lighting up the map.

  But this is enough. Rosen immediately ordered Kurapika to transfer a group of scientific research talents. Once this group of people moved into the machinery factory, they would be able to continuously produce all kinds of extraordinary mechanical items.

  While they are still selecting scientific research talents, artificial intelligence has already asked the machinery factory for help.

  Rosen saw the rescue image sent back by the artificial intelligence and discovered that two huge monsters were approaching the mechanical city outside. One of them was a rotten bear-like creature several dozen meters tall, and the other was a headless giant who was a hundred meters tall.

  Apparently this was a species native to the Dark Continent, and was attracted by the sudden appearance of the mechanical city.

  Judging from the spiritual fluctuations, these two monsters are both Sequence 5 without exception.

  It was easy to encounter a Sequence 5 extraordinary life form, and the strongest Psychic user in the human world was only equivalent to Sequence 7. It was no wonder that human explorers of all generations were wiped out before they could get out of the shores of Lake Mobius.

  Rosen pulled out the network cable again and connected it to the network port.

  Whether he can completely control artificial intelligence will determine how much he will invest in the mechanical city.

  The moment the network was connected, the Lord God Computer easily broke through all the underlying codes of the artificial intelligence and directly transformed the artificial intelligence into an affiliated intelligent applet. Through the Lord God Computer, he could control the entire mechanical city through this applet.

  Now that he has taken control of the mechanical city, Rosen naturally will not allow the two monsters to destroy the mechanical city.

  He flashed through the void directly to the edge of the mechanical city, standing on a tilted high tower and looking at the two approaching monsters.

  Before they got close to the mechanical city, they were already encountered by the rotten giant bear and the headless giant.

  The Rotten Giant Bear's body was covered with wriggling worms, but not only did it not have any rotten smell, but it was instead filled with the sweet fragrance of honey. A huge amount of spiritual energy rose up like a volcanic eruption, and all the wriggling worms on its body absorbed the spiritual energy and grew into bees.

  However, these bees were the size of a fist, and they covered the headless giant. Facing the attack of the Rotten Giant Bear, the headless giant was filled with enhanced mind energy that was even more powerful than that of the Rotten Giant Bear. The giant stick in his hand was wrapped with enhanced mind energy, and with one blow, the destructive power of the stick was comparable to that of a nuclear explosion, sweeping away all the bees.

  Rosen's vitality is already very strong, but the mental energy in his body is far inferior to that of these two monsters.

  Of course, if a real fight breaks out, he can easily deal with these two monsters.

  Because the mental abilities possessed by these two monsters do not seem to be particularly powerful, and their methods are also very simple. Although the destructive power is amazing, the damage if they cannot hit the enemy is equal to zero, unless they have other hidden abilities.

  Sure enough, Rosen soon discovered that it was not that simple. The bees released by the Rotten Giant Bear could self-destruct.

  Moreover, after the explosion, a sweet and dizzying honey fragrance will be released, and this honey fragrance is directly transmitted to the spirits. As long as you are within the coverage area, you will be unable to resist it even if your body is wrapped in energy.

  So in just a moment, the headless giant with incredible destructive power fell to the ground.

  The rotten giant bear lay down forward and began to bite the headless giant's body madly. It seemed that the headless giant was about to be completely eaten. However, the headless giant, who had lost one fifth of his flesh and blood, instinctively fought back even though he lost consciousness.

  The rotten giant bear was directly flipped over under his body, and then he hit it into pieces with a stick.

  The headless giant fell to the ground again, and his whole body began to regenerate at an accelerated speed to heal his injuries.

  As for the rotten giant bear that was beaten to pieces, wriggling worms emerged from the body fragments. These worms turned into bees and then gathered together again, finally forming a smaller rotten giant bear that was more than ten meters tall.

  This time, the rotten giant bear did not dare to approach the headless giant, but turned its greedy gaze to Rosen.

  Through its special talent, it can feel the huge vitality contained in that small body that makes it salivate.

  "It seems that I can't take advantage of it."

  Rosen drew out the Wrath of the Dragon King from his hunting belt and then activated Xiaolongnu's fantasy weapon.

  The power of the Miracle Fairy Dragon is integrated into the Wrath of the Dragon King, making this weapon, which already has explosive damage, even stronger.

  Rosen used the time scope to lock onto the position of the Rotten Giant Bear one second later, and used the Future Silencer to send the bullet to one second later.

  A second later, the rotten giant bear rushed towards him at high speed, and was instantly hit by the bullet from the past that it could not dodge.

  This is not an extraordinary bullet, nor is it a judgment bullet of spiritual transformation, nor is it a drawn bullet.

  Instead, it was the Miracle Fairy Dragon's skill bullet, a fusion of the Forbidden Magic Ball's bullet.

  The rotten giant bear that was hit by the bullet had an invisible colorful crystal ball floating above its head. All of the extraordinary abilities of the rotten giant bear were sealed at this moment, so the released bees turned back into larvae and fell to the ground.

  Immediately afterwards, the second bullet hit the rotten giant bear.

  This time it was a dragon language magic flame vortex. The flame vortex with a radius of hundreds of meters completely covered the Rotten Giant Bear, and even the larvae that were degenerated by the forbidden magic balls in the surrounding area were all swept up by the flame vortex and burned into ashes.

  If it was originally several dozen meters in size, it would be a bit difficult to solve it with just one dragon language magic.

  But how much energy can be left in the body after shrinking to just over ten meters?

  After successfully hunting down the Rotten Giant Bear, Rosen continued to lock onto the headless giant and shoot.

  He has already seen that the Rotten Giant Bear is actually very smart and has a high IQ, but the Headless Giant really has no intelligence. He only has instinctive destructive power and strong regenerative ability.

  So it's a pity to kill the headless giant. It would be better to turn the headless giant into the guardian of the mechanical city.

  The forbidden magic ball seals the extraordinary ability, and the spiritual ball directly attacks the spirit of the headless giant.

  Finally, the dream entanglement pulled the weak spirit of the headless giant into the original dream, and then projected the ash curtain into the spirit of the headless giant, and began to cooperate with the mind control to tamper with the memory of the headless giant.

  After half an hour of hard work, Rosen finally transformed the headless giant's self-awareness into what he wanted.

  But this was not enough, the machinery factory began to produce special equipment for the headless giant.

  I don't know what kind of wood the giant stick is made of, but it's very sturdy, but apart from being sturdy, there's nothing special about it.

  Therefore, the machinery factory directly used extraordinary metal to make a giant battle axe, which not only had special damage against spirituality, but also had the characteristics of crushing, heavy hitting and automatic recovery. Throwing this axe was equivalent to a long-range nuclear explosion.

  Knowing that the headless giant's defense was a weakness, Rosen also prepared a set of giant armor.

  At this time, the headless giant truly possesses the combat power that a Sequence 5 extraordinary life form should have.

  However, simply relying on the headless giant is not enough. Rosen also released several Sequence 6 Abyss Demons from the Void Prison who had been tortured into crazy believers. After becoming crazy believers, their brains had some problems, so it was not enough to rely on them to guard the house.

  Rosen doesn't think that there are no creatures in the Dark Continent that are stronger than the rotten giant bear and the headless giant.

  So the wings of Quetzalcoatl appeared behind him and he soared into the sky, looking down at the Mechanical City from the sky. A curtain of ash was projected down and covered the Mechanical City, and gradually layers of rocky mountains were formed around the Mechanical City, and finally the entire Mechanical City was wrapped in a painted barren mountain.

  Normal creatures would not come to destroy a barren mountain, which can greatly reduce the probability of the mechanical city being attacked.

  Now that he knew that the alien spiritual realm could illuminate the Dark Continent, Rosen's interest in the alien spiritual realm increased greatly.

  But right now, he wanted to see if there were any good things in the Dark Continent.

  Rosen looked down at Lake Mobius with God's vision and directly locked onto a new continent outside of several continents in the human world.

  Countless gray squirrels and rats now live on this new continent.

  This is the spiritual realm of the gray mouse, and the changes brought about after lighting up the map.

  Rosen opened the void album, summoned the gray rat he drew, and teleported it to this continent.

  In just a few moments, the Gray Squirrel had gathered a large number of Gray Squirrel people and mice.

  Rosen transferred all the rats to the outside of the mechanical city. Under the command of the gray rat, all the gray rats and rats dispersed in all directions. Some were responsible for collecting soil, rocks and plant collection standards, and others were responsible for exploring the surrounding dangers.

  Millions of rats and thousands of gray rat men were sent out, and only one in ten came back alive half a day later.

  The good news is that the Dark Continent is very rich in resources, but the bad news is that there are dangers everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.

  Rosen looked at the pile of specimens in front of him, among which there were actually several spiritual crystals.

  The worldview of Hunter x Hunter only has the ability of Telekinesis. It seems that after becoming a spiritual realm, it has become dominated by spirituality like all spiritual realms, so much so that natural spiritual crystals have been born in the Dark Continent.

  There are too many specimens in front of us, and almost all of them are unknown.

  If you want to identify the specific functions and values ​​of these things, you need to entrust them to very professional materials scientists.

  Rosen summoned more gray squirrels and mice to explore a larger area around them.

  Only then did he take the first batch of specimens and prepare to find a materials scientist to assess their value.

  Through the teleportation of the void phase, Rosen locked the spatial coordinates and teleported to the vicinity of Thunder Capital.

  This is worthy of being the core miraculous ability of the Fairy Dragon Ball. Even though the Dungeon Kingdom and the Thunder Empire are far apart, the space teleportation can still be completed in just a few seconds. He also issued a bounty task for identification materials through the professional guild.

  This was not enough. Rosen waited until the cooling of the void phase ended and immediately teleported to City No. 9 on the front line of the Abyss Battlefield.

  Then the same bounty task was posted here, so that after the two materials scientists gave their identification results, they could compare them with each other. In case one of them gave a false identification result, it would be easy for him to detect it by comparing the two.

  Two days later, Rosen had received the identification results.

  The vast majority of materials are of little value, and only three of them are truly valuable.

  They are spiritual crystals containing vigorous vitality, the honey-flavored corpse oil of a rotten giant bear, and an unnamed fungus plant that contains a rare element needed for a curse potion.

  Although in theory, all elements can be synthesized artificially.

  The key is to see whether the cost of artificial synthesis exceeds that of natural collection. This kind of rare element is one that has a very high cost for artificial synthesis. If the Dark Continent can find a large number of such fungal plants, it will not be difficult to earn tens of millions of spiritual crystals a year.

  If you want more income, forget it. The market demand for that kind of curse potion is there.

  Rosen compared the specimens with the map made by the Gray Rat Man and quickly found the collection point of the fungus.

  After escaping into the shadow of the void, he ignored all dangers along the way and quickly reached his destination.

  Indeed, many extraordinary life forms of Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 were found on the road, but due to their relatively single telepathic abilities, these extraordinary life forms were unable to detect Rosen hiding in the shadows of space. Since they could not find him, it was naturally difficult for him to pose a threat.

  In front of Rosen was a strange forest, and the plants in the forest seemed to be willow trees.

  But there are no leaves, only willow branches, and there are facial features made up of tree tumors on the trunks. As the facial features breathe through the nostrils, the willow-like long hair will sway with the rhythm of breathing. At the roots of these strange trees grow a large number of mushrooms with flashing purple umbrellas upside down.

  "I've made a fortune..."

  Rosen walked into the woods excitedly, then reached out his hand directly from the void shadow to collect mushrooms.

  He collected all the mushrooms and calculated that they would be enough for him to sell for decades.

  Rosen then massively expanded the scope of specimen collection, at the cost of hundreds of millions of mice dying tragically in the Dark Continent.

  However, mice have strong reproductive capacity. Theoretically, two mice can become hundreds of millions in a few years. The only thing that limits the reproductive capacity of mice is food, and the gray mouse people on that continent have cultivated a large number of fast-growing plants suitable for mice to eat.

  Even if tens of billions of mice died in a short period of time, the Gray Squirrels could make up the shortfall within a month.

  Rats began to invade a corner of the Dark Continent crazily, and Rosen collected more and more specimens for identification.

  However, after being busy for more than half a month, the gains were not as much as I had imagined.

  Those extraordinary materials that can be collected continuously can earn at most a few million spiritual crystals a year.

  Mushrooms like that one can yield tens of millions a year. Rosen searched every corner of the illuminated Dark Continent but couldn't find a second kind. This made him realize that the appearance of that kind of mushroom might not be accidental, but a kind of reward-like resource that must be produced after the map is illuminated.

  Fortunately, this half month was not wasted, and Rosen was finally familiar with the Dark Continent.

  (End of this chapter)
