I'm the one running the game

Chapter 939 You are looking for help from the empire, why are you looking for me...

"No, you said that not only did you fail to take down the magic castle, but you also lost 99% of the empire's thousand type four steam soldiers to get in?" Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched.

His experiment was interrupted again, this time it was Cato who rushed over in a hurry. He didn't seem to have taken much rest on the road. He was obviously in a hurry.

"Yes, it's a monster called the Soul Demon by Count Edward..." Cato described it to Lu Xingshi.

I heard that Lu Xingshi was a little doubtful about life. Isn't this thing the same soul aggregate that came to seize him for the second time?

"Wait a minute, let me check again. Have you met a living person?" Lu Xingshi finally discovered something was wrong.

Logically speaking, they should not exist. These remnants of interstellar civilization will either be wiped out by the world or assimilated by the world. If you are an omnic, he can still understand that those things are just lumps of iron after all.

But when you say living creatures, you mean living creatures with souls. How could this thing survive?

Unless there is some kind of equipment that can resist the world around the interstellar battleships and cosmic fortresses, these remnants of interstellar civilization will definitely not survive.

Thinking about it again, Edward has wiped out many people before, which means that this is really possible.

All I can say is that we cannot underestimate any civilization.

"It's alive, weird?" Cato was keenly aware of the problem.

"Of course it's strange. They are invaders from outside. They are rejected and squeezed by our world, so there is no way they can survive." Lu Xingshi briefly summarized.

"But these monsters really exist, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to the Dragon Mountains to find you to deal with them." Cato still retorted to Lu Xingshi.

"I know, but I can't get away." Lu Xingshi spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

He could finally see that the world was indeed rejecting his experiment, but because Lu Xingshi was not an interstellar remnant, and he still had enough status and strength, he couldn't do it directly.

Only then did he use various indirect effects to prevent him from having enough energy to conduct experiments.

The gods of the old era have no place in the new era.

Cato's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"If you don't go, no one can solve that magic castle. Once the monsters inside break through the seals arranged by the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, even the empire will be affected." Cato tried to continue to advise: "If you are willing Help me solve it, and everything from Magic Castle can be given to you.”

It's definitely not enough to just use your mouth. You have to give Lu Xingshi substantial benefits.

"Well..." Lu Xingshi was indeed moved, but he understood that this thing was just a sugar-coated bomb.

If you go this time, there will definitely be a next time. Next time, you will continue to delay the progress of your experiment.

"I still can't go." Lu Xingshi still refused: "My affairs have reached a critical moment. Once I leave, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"But it's not without solutions."

Lu Xingshi said, taking out a few earth elves from the earth ring.

"I'll modify this thing, you can use it first."

Seeing the earth elf, Cato couldn't take his eyes away. He knew that this was a new extraordinary soldier created by Lu Xingshi that was similar to the magic mirror puppet.

"How to use it?" Cato asked.

"I'll make these earth elves more violent. You can let them out and let them beat you."

"If you really can't beat them, let them blow themselves up and see if they can die together."

"If it doesn't work together with them, you can paste them on the seal and hold them together for a while. It won't be too late to wait until I'm done." Lu Xingshi said as he used the knife to transform the earth elves.

It seems that the earth elves have become stronger, but for Lu Xingshi, it actually has no effect.

The best use of the earth elf is to serve as a pendant and support for Lu Xingshi, rather than to actually use it to fight and kill, which would be such a waste.

It is an auxiliary unit in itself.

"Of course, if Edward is confident, he can also use it to hit the opponent." Lu Xingshi said very honestly.

Anyway, this thing is not a normal life form. At best, it can only be regarded as an elemental life plus artificial intelligence.

When Cato faced Lu Xingshi's attitude, he had no good solution.

Lu Xingshi didn't want to, he couldn't force it, so it was good to be able to help.

"How long can it be delayed?" Cato asked.

"I don't know." Lu Xingshi's answer was even more sincere. Even the situation in the magic castle was dictated by Cato. He had no idea what the specific situation was and how could he analyze how long the delay would be.

"But it's not like there's no way to delay it until I can deal with it." Lu Xingshi suddenly thought that he still had the technology to lock the timeline.

His request is not high, as long as he delays it for another month.

"Oh? What can I do? I'll help as much as I can!" Cato still wanted Lu Xingshi to leave.

"That's my secret weapon." Lu Xingshi certainly couldn't say it directly, but he didn't mind publicizing that he could restrain and lock time.

But others will be restless, wondering how to target him or plot against him.

He is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want to cause trouble either.

Seeing that Lu Xingshi didn't say anything, Cato didn't ask further: "How long can you delay?"

"One month, more than that, I'm not sure." Lu Xingshi calculated the data, the success rate is not high, about 5%.

Mainly because there are too many things involved, it is definitely not that easy, especially when it involves Edward, the protagonist, and the layout of the world.

It is definitely unrealistic to say it is easy.

"In other words, you can complete your task within a month?" Cato immediately realized Lu Xingshi's deeper meaning.

"That's right, so let the earth elf hold you for a while." Lu Xingshi said, handing a red-warm earth elf to Cato.

"Try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'll continue to modify it."

"Since you said before that the monster called Soul Demon attacks at the mental and soul levels, I strengthened the defense and anti-injury."

"The opponent can return ten times the force he inflicted on the Earth Elf."

"Then, facing the Iron Man and the Strange, it is also extremely tough. After it grows bigger, it rolls over, and then..."

Lv Xingshi introduced the Red Temperature version of the Earth Elf incessantly, and Gato stared at him. When Lu Xingshi stopped talking, he asked, "How can I try it?"

With his weak arms and legs, trying such a big red light ball that looks like a monster is probably looking for death.

"I don't know what the Empire is thinking. Why don't they arrange some extraordinary power to protect you." Lu Xingshi was very puzzled.

Extraordinary soldiers have powerful strength, but as high-level officials and commanders, they don't, which is very problematic.

He knows the situation of the Aore Empire, which relies on cohesion.

This thing is really very weak.

But if the cohesion is really improved, it will be extremely powerful.

This is the current situation of the Aore Empire, and after joining the protagonist, many of its original drawbacks are also disappearing.

The simplest point is that they are more united, especially after the threat of the interstellar survivors appeared, the original internal strife is easing, and the factions are beginning to fade.

If you say that there is no protagonist halo and interference from the world, Lu Xingshi does not believe it.

As for why the other empires are, Lu Xingshi is not very clear, and he does not pay too much attention to these.

"I know a little, it seems to involve the origin of the steam engine, a magical device." Cato said.

Lu Xingshi found it interesting when he heard it.

"Can you tell me?" Lu Xingshi asked directly.

Cato shook his head: "I don't know the origin of the steam engine, but it is said that it was made by the founding monarch of the Aore Empire, but it was sealed later."

Hearing this, Lu Xingshi felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

It won't be a special magical device formed by a human from an interstellar civilization that has not been completely assimilated, combining the extraordinary and the steam engine.

"And it seems to involve evil gods, which I am very confused about."

"But the gods have become a thing of the past, let alone evil gods."

"So the top leaders are forbidden to become steam soldiers." Cato continued.

This made Lu Xingshi look strange.

He really wanted to know what was going on in this world. Forget about interstellar civilization, why are there such things as evil gods.

The gods in this world should all be righteous gods...

Putting aside the issue of evil gods for the time being, Lu Xingshi quickly dealt with the red-temperature version of the earth elf.

"Then how do I give orders to the earth elf? It doesn't seem to listen to me very much, and it doesn't seem to be as smart as the magic mirror puppet?" Cato looked at the stupid earth elf and hesitated.

"I'll hand over the authority to you."

"As for looking stupid... this is true. After all, the magic mirror puppet formed by the Seven Deadly Sins Secret Realm is smart, because the magic mirror is smart."

"My earth ring function does not cover the intelligent part, so the earth elf is a little stupid."

"But stupidity has its advantages. You ask it to rush, and it will not hesitate at all."

"Super soldiers will be different because of different magic weapons, so they have their own characteristics. You can't ask the earth elf to be at the same level as the magic mirror puppet." Lu Xingshi is not making another magic mirror puppet.

"Okay, I'll try it first. If it works, I'll take it back and carry it for a month." Cato said, and led a circle of earth elves out.

"By the way, don't let them all explode or stick to the wall. If you have anything, you can ride it to find me. It's much faster than riding a horse yourself." Lu Xingshi instructed.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Cato felt that Lu Xingshi was really black-hearted. It was fine if he self-destructed and covered the wall, but he also let others ride him. Fortunately, he didn't look like a human, but just a floating ball of light.

But it must be said that the quality of the extraordinary soldiers produced was indeed good, whether it was the Moonlight Werewolf at the beginning or the Magic Mirror Puppet later, or the Earth Elves.

However, this time, Lu Xingshi estimated that it was unlikely to give the Earth Elves to the Empire.

From top to bottom, it was obviously prepared for something of his own.
