I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 788 - 554 [Anomaly: Liang · Flame Beast]_3
Chapter 788 -554 [Anomaly: Liang · Flame Beast]_3
“Alas, the Batman equipment is too poor and lacks Extraordinary Items to enhance the curse. On the other hand, those Dwarf soldiers have high-quality armor, resisting the curse’s invasion.”
Jin Dongliang continued to report: “The second battle was against the One-eyed Chief. The Chief is a level 10 lifeform and can compete with these armored warriors.”
“However, the precision armor compensates for too many defensive shortcomings, and the Chief, despite all efforts, cannot win.”
A Dwarf soldier appears on the screen, holding a gear-shaped giant shield. The phenomenon of Idealist Interference emitted by this shield evidently reaches the Legendary level.
The poor One-eyed Clan cannot penetrate the opponent’s defense.
Old Cat asked: “How does our Source Fire Armor compare to theirs in performance?”
“It’s about the same, each has its strengths; theirs is slightly stronger, ours is more flexible.” Jin Dongliang volunteered, “I think using the Legendary Equipment from the National Treasury should be no problem. Want me to go and dampen their spirits? I could earn 100 Spirit Essence.”
Old Cat was a bit speechless; when you take out Legendary Equipment, wouldn’t the others recognize it instantly?
A Lanpeng major signaled with a raised hand: “Sir Cat, the theoretical performance of our X-class battle armor far exceeds theirs!”
“I even think finding a Level Four warrior with rapid reaction ability, wielding Legendary Equipment, could challenge them.”
“A Level Three warrior could also try. Please trust in the X-class battle armor’s capabilities.”
Old Cat widened his eyes; in terms of arrogance, it always has to be the Lanpeng people.
Such ostentatious behavior, it’s just a fancy; what if they lost?
“This kind of irreplicable X-class battle armor, I think there’s no need to deploy it.” A government official spoke, “This level of gambling is difficult to conceal, affecting not only external but internal civilizational confidence.”
“X-class battle armor is a relic of a high-level civilization, not something of our own.”
Old Cat sighed slightly; has humanity’s morality risen a bit too high now?
Yet these words are true; past gambles occurred on a small scale and were not declassified until decades later.
But this time, with all eyes watching, it’s difficult to conceal the news within humanity.
“Everyone, don’t rush.” It solemnly said, “Since we have no disadvantages, gathering more information is good.”
“Any other news? Is no one challenging the level 13 Anomaly Flame Beast?”
Jin Dongliang shook his head: “Not even ordinary soldiers can defeat it, who would dare challenge the Flame Beast.”
“That thing is, after all, an anomaly with low intelligence. Losing to the Dwarves is fine; challenging the Flame Beast, one might get eaten.”
“Do we have anyone who can defeat it?”
Numerous officers exchanged glances; without heavy weapons, even wearing X-class armor, it’s hard to defeat a level 12 anomaly.
The strength of humans lies in wisdom and organizational ability; if it must be cold weapon combat, it’s just asking for trouble.
Don’t hot weapons look appealing?
Thus, as civilization reaches a certain point, the importance of cold weapon combat gradually diminishes.
“Leviathan should have the capability to fight, even though Leviathan is only level 11.” Jin Dongliang said, “Because Leviathan’s tonnage is much larger than the opponent’s and has high-temperature resistance.”
“If not, just dispatch the Mirage Cloud Dragon.”
[Essence·Mirage Cloud Dragon], after 80 years of feeding, it has consumed at least five thousand Spirit Essence of human Extraordinary Consumables along with mutated flora and fauna that are hard to quantify!
Humans have nearly been made poor by it.
But the gains following the investment are considerable.
The current Extraordinary Level of the Mirage Cloud Dragon is level 17!
This little fellow, who used to only act cute, has truly grown up, reaching a body length exceeding four hundred meters, able to circle a playground more than once and is still expanding.
As a subordinate anomaly of [Demon], scientists estimate it can grow to level 30, now in its adolescence.
“Alright… as long as there’s a way to counter it.” Old Cat has a thoughtful demeanor, “The Dwarves still have some foundation; we must do good internal publicity work, recognizing them as excellent opponents, underestimating them strategically and valuing them tactically.”
It’s akin to the Earth-era Olympics, a smokeless battleground, a hot topic.
But actually, one more gold medal or less does not affect cultural confidence as long as the gap between major powers isn’t too wide, the issue is minor.
“Any other significant information?”
“Yes.” Another senior officer, Guo Dafeng, spoke: “I pretended to be a cleaner and approached the opponent’s territory, stealthily using the Field to probe the Dwarf Clan’s Flying Fortress, discovering a tremendously powerful energy source hidden inside.”
“That giant thing is stationary as if sleeping… I only probed a little and then moved away.”
“Oh? How strong is it?”
“I can’t quite understand what this level of strength means, because once the energy level is high enough, the rules it emits are similar to a natural field, capable of isolating probing abilities.”
Guo Dafeng rubbed his temples. “I have a theory. The Dwarf Clan is raising multiple anomalies. The Flame Beast that has appeared is just the weakest one; perhaps it’s the ones locked inside that are truly powerful? That’s their real trump card.”
Everyone drew in a sharp breath, calming down from their quiet murmurs.
“How does it compare to our [Mirage Cloud Dragon]?” Old Cat asked.
“It’s hard to compare directly; it depends on the performance and the type of Divine Skills. Big Golden has both offense and defense and can fly, with no apparent weaknesses. Its combined abilities are quite strong, though its combat experience is a bit lacking.”
The combat power of the “Greedy Demon God” has been temporarily set aside by the human government, as it involves taboos.
We can’t just summon all sorts of natural disasters because of a gambling duel.
However, the “Greedy Demon God” serves as a last resort, holding a trump card keeps the heart steady.
The Mirage Cloud Dragon is indeed the strongest under the Greedy Demon God.
Unknowingly, this fellow has grown to this stage.
Discussing up to this point, people had a sense of assurance; the human civilization does not lack depth. Whether in combat or in various sciences and technologies, they are leaders among the third-level civilizations.
Even if the opponent possesses ancient remnants of strangers, humans have no need to be overly tense!
Just then, there was a “knock knock knock” at the door.
Old Cat hurriedly said, “Come in!”
A familiar figure appeared at the door.
Lu Yuan peeked inside, looking disheveled. His appearance wasn’t good; his hair was greasy as if it hadn’t been washed for a month.
His clothes were covered in various wood and iron shavings, and even had some paint from who knows where, with a burn mark on his hand.
“Yo, why are there so many people? Having a meeting? You guys carry on.”
Lu Yuan was startled and quickly left the room.
He hated meetings; they were just a waste of life.
He planned to take a bath and then spend some sweet time with his lovely maid.
“Finished your cultivation?” Old Cat called after him.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow immediately: “Got some decent results. Finally taught those craftsmen. It was quite the arduous cultivation!”
“You could say that, with the help of the Entropy Element, we can finally mass-produce ‘Spirit Plant Fields.’ A total of 112 craftsmen have learned this technique; that’s quite a number, right?”
Everyone in the conference room bounced up from their seats.
This was news… big news!
Lu Yuan felt a bit proud yet utterly exhausted.
This was indeed a brand-new path; they had taken the first step from zero to one – to spread knowledge!
Only by spreading knowledge could this path flourish.
Otherwise, if Lu Yuan walked his unique path, it would never become an epoch-level opportunity.
However, at present, there are still quite a few issues, such as the Entropy Element being too expensive, the difficulty of teaching still being somewhat high, requiring Lu Yuan’s meticulous guidance, and currently only being able to create “Spirit Plant Fields,” among others… anyway, these problems all need to be addressed.
Thus, the next step is still in Lu Yuan’s careful consideration…
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the conference room rubbed their hands together with excitement.
The craftsmen’s breakthrough was truly a boon in a time of need.
112 craftsmen capable of producing fields, how big of a splash could they make in a gambling duel?
The Dwarf Clan was practically offering their faces for humans to hit!
“Hmm… very good, we will suggest choosing a craftsman-level gambling duel, and I believe the other party will accept,” Old Cat said solemnly. “The Dwarf Clan has already arrived at Wulan City and could issue a challenge at any time. You should prepare yourself; you look a bit unpresentable!”
“Heh, don’t you know that true artists are always unconventional?”
Lu Yuan unapologetically slicked back his greasy hair like a wok and scurried out.
