Artificer Adventure Guide

That night, Karl asked V to start work with six engineering constructs.

Thorin also wanted to help, but after visiting the site, he found that his forging hammer could only help to a limited extent.

So he went back to his room to sleep in a sullen mood.

The days in the base then entered a period of peace and tranquility, but some forces on the surface seemed a little unkind, and actually threw the infected who had not been treated in time into the underground ruins.

Fortunately, Karl had completed the preliminary reconstruction of Kowloon Walled City at this time, so he took Hope to treat the infected, and then isolated them in the walled city, and sent the Moon Spirit construct to guard them.

The life of being confined was naturally uncomfortable, and those infected who had recovered rebelled because of this.

Karl did not stop them, but only updated the database of the Moon Spirit constructs, telling them to strictly prohibit receiving those who left.

Even if they kneeled outside and broke their heads, it would not work.

Sure enough, most of those who left later came back one after another to ask for treatment.

But as the constructs transformed the fortress, they couldn't even find where to open the door.

A few people seemed to know the location of Carl's base, so they wanted to take people to Carl, but a round of crossbows and force field crossbows made them accept reality.

Some people regretted leaving for a moment of freedom, and some people directed their resentment at Carl who no longer provided them with help.

One afternoon, Carl completed today's research and taught Thorin some sword forging skills.

Just as the two returned to the first floor, there was a sudden vibration outside.

"What's wrong?"

Summoning a Moon Spirit construct, Carl asked it about the situation outside.

"Some zombies tried to approach, and the automatic attack system has killed them."

After briefly answering Carl's question, the Moon Spirit construct turned and left.

This was probably the final outcome of the group.

A few days later, Carl took Hope and Ying to the fortress to see how those who stayed behind recovered.

What surprised him was that in just a few days, the people here had already begun to form gangs.

"Sure enough, the power vacuum period is extremely short. If you don't occupy it, someone else will take your place.

Go drive those guys out of the fort!"

After giving an order to the Moon Spirit maid he brought with him, Carl cleaned up the chaos in the fort, and then left some food for the Moon Spirit maid stationed here.

Just as he was about to leave, a half-elf child stopped him.

"Can you please teach us some life-saving skills?"

Behind her, several children who were about half her age knelt on the ground compacted by cement with a "thump".

Although they were almost crying in pain, these children actually gritted their teeth and persisted.

This made Carl interested.

"Yes! Of course, what do you want to learn?"

Upon hearing Carl's words, the light in the eyes of the half-elf child became brighter.

"What can you teach us?"

After thinking for a moment, Carl listed a few that were easier to learn.

"Rogue, warrior, ranger, monk, these professions have relatively few requirements for external things. As long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

"Anything else?"

Looking at the girl, Carl continued, "That is Druid, Artificer, Barbarian. However, to be employed in these professions, the applicants need to meet certain requirements. Not everyone can learn them."

"Is there no profession that anyone can learn and become very strong after learning it?"

Hearing this, Carl's mouth twitched twice, and he stepped forward and knocked on the forehead of the half-elf girl.

"What are you thinking! Even professions such as wizards, priests, bards, paladins, and warlocks have to take one step at a time... Oh no! Warlocks don't need to, but warlocks have to worship their lords and are not free for their entire lives. The other few also have their own advantages and disadvantages."

"What are the disadvantages of wizards?"

Blinking, the half-elf girl seemed to feel that she had discovered a loophole in Carl's words, and asked quickly.

After taking a look at this ambitious child, Carl replied helplessly: "To be precise, this shortcoming is not in this profession, but in us. It is too painful for people who are not smart enough to learn to be a mage."

"Can I try?"

Looking at the other party with some surprise, Carl almost laughed out of anger.

But normal people are still very tolerant of such polite cubs.

So Carl took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

Afterwards, he began to teach the other party the meaning of numbers and symbols, and gave her a mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The little girl spent half a day to solve it.

Then she thought she could learn to be a mage in this way.

But Carl just smiled and nodded, and then wrote a series of equations on the back of the paper.

The little girl was at a loss for words.

"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but the intelligence required of mages is just like this, beyond the comprehension and IQ of ordinary people, which is why mages are so powerful."

Realizing that the mage profession she had been dreaming of was so difficult to learn, the half-elf girl was very decisive and immediately gave up the unrealistic idea and chose the next best option, such as the mechanic profession provided by Carl.

This time, Karl let her and her companions take a test together.

All the students were eliminated in the test of mechanical talent and spatial imagination using the Rubik's Cube. Two people barely passed the druid's perception test. As for the barbarians...

You don't need to test it to know that these children don't have talent in this area, otherwise they wouldn't be infected by the virus diluted by the green rain.

Even if it's because of their age, they haven't been inspired by the rage when they are dying, which still proves that they don't have enough talent in the field of barbarians.

Finally, the children accepted the fact that they are not geniuses.

But the half-elf girl accepted it the fastest.

Because she has insufficient perception of natural magic but a relatively high perception attribute, she chose to be a monk as her future path.

After teaching these children the basic training methods, Karl and the other two left the fortress and returned to the base.

This was a completely impromptu decision, and even Karl himself didn't think these children could stick to it.

Although the fortress is currently closed to entry and exit, and Karl has isolated most of the adults from each other and implemented a rationing system, there is still plenty of food.

It is difficult for people to really make up their minds to study something hard in a comfortable environment.

Unless he has reached a certain level of material enjoyment or he is really a person with great perseverance.

…

Two days later, Joanna brought several classmates to Carl's base.

With them, there were several boys and girls of the same age who looked very thin.

"These are the ordinary people we have rescued during this period. Please take them in."

In the living room, Joanna bowed to Carl.

But Carl did not agree directly, but told the situation in the fortress in detail.

The expressions of several people in the group changed at that time, but they still tried to maintain their previous weak and pitiful appearance.

They thought they were going to live in this base, but they didn't expect that not only would they be restricted from entering and leaving, but they would also be guarded like prisoners.

But they didn't speak like Erque in those cool novels who obviously had no strength but insisted on reasoning with Jindan Zhenren. They just hid behind Joanna and the others and continued to look weak.

"Why, why treat them like this? It's not their fault to be infected!"

At this time, a boy who was too kind-hearted spoke up.

"It's not their fault to be infected, but I did this to reduce management costs. The rooms in the fortress have one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The food is distributed by the Yueling maid, and there is a fixed outdoor activity time every week.

I have already provided such a living environment, what else do you want me to do?

You have saved a lot of people recently, right?

Are these the only ones who barely survived, and the rest have become zombies due to repeated loss of vitality in repeated infections?"

After these words, the kind-hearted boy nodded immediately.

This made Carl look at him with a higher eye. He originally thought that the other party was the kind of brainless saint bitch, but now it seems that he is indeed raised a little too simple by his family.

After picking out the key points of the scientific epidemic prevention rules and telling everyone, Joanna and a group of students from Kolanburg suddenly realized it.

In fact, this knowledge is not very profound, but they are not exposed to it at ordinary times, so they lack this aspect.

"It seems that isolation is indeed necessary. Senior, you just said that you taught the children in the fort some professional training skills? Then can we help train them? To be honest, I am a paladin and want to develop a few apprentices..."

Similar to Joanna, this kind-hearted paladin brother also believes in the gods of destiny.

This made Carl feel a little relieved.

Most people in the Silver Flame Church are a bit too extreme, and they may turn evil at any time.

In comparison, the paladins of the gods of destiny are much better.

"No problem, but I don't think there will be too many people who can meet your standards."

Scanning behind the paladin boy, Carl transmitted the faces of several people whose minds tend to be evil detected by psychic power to V.

These people will be taken care of by the Moon Spirit Maid in their future lives. Once they bully others or do something else, Carl will throw them out of the fort without mercy.

After arranging a Moon Spirit maid to take the Paladin boy and others to the fortress, Carl chatted with the remaining Joanna and others for a while, and then the topic naturally shifted to the matter of the magic motorcycle.

"Senior, do you have any extra magic motorcycles? My classmates..."

At this point, Joanna lowered her head shyly.

She didn't mean to show off her new vehicle to her classmates, but the magic motorcycle was indeed quite convenient and fast, so she couldn't help riding it every time she went out.

What's more, Carl specially added a color-changing function to the magic motorcycle, which can change the color and pattern of the motorcycle according to the owner's preference.

The handsome body is matched with such a humanized function, and those young students were hooked one by one.

If it weren't for the feeling that it would be a bit impolite for all the members to come, there would be no way that only these few people would come today.
