Ark, a chat group for gamers

Lin Luo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Laurentina to say such a sentence, but after reacting, he just shook his head helplessly:

"For my remaining troubles, you can just treat me as unfounded worries - after all, I can't imagine a way for it to come to this world, and it is impossible for it to appear in this world."

The stirring spoon kept bumping against the wall of the coffee cup, making a clanging sound.

After a moment of silence, Lin Luo said softly, "Wither Storm... Heh, the Great Devourer of MC?"

That is a monster that exists in the so-called story mode, and some people have reproduced it into a module so that it can appear in the player's MC world.

Not even the word dangerous is a good match for the existence of this monster.

Doomsday is the proper adjective for it.

The world will become its nutrient, and the wither storm will devour any blocks indiscriminately. It doesn't care what the nature of these blocks is. It will not devour biomass like a swarm. It just wants to destroy everything. devour.

But fortunately, it cannot appear in this world, because its composition requires command blocks, which only belong to creative mode.

And Lin Luo didn't think that anyone could take out this kind of cube, and neither could he himself.

"Okay, instead of thinking about so many useful and useless things, let's get over the current difficulties first."

Lin Luo took the photo back into his pocket, and took the lead in drinking the black coffee in the cup, with a more ferocious expression on his face: "Hiss—it feels sour and bitter, but forget it , let's go buy some materials."

"Okay." Laurentina finished the coffee imitatively, but she did not change her face: "Where are you going?"

"Bookstore." Lin Luo said concisely: "Knowledge is power, Laurentina."

Laurentina: "...?"

Reading can make people grow physically and mentally, and they can also learn from the author's experience written into the book.

But Laurentina didn't think that Lin Luo really came here to study, and most likely it wasn't to collect magazines and newspapers to relieve fatigue on the road.

"This leather-packed book... and this cardboard-packed book, I want them all, let's get a box of each."

Laurentina watched Lin Luo standing in front of the counter holding two books and discussing the price with the clerk, affirming her thoughts again.

——Mr. Craftsman definitely didn't intend to come here to study.

The fact is that, Lin Luo is not the kind of person who has the leisure to delve into literature before the crisis. As a pragmatist, he only goes to the bookstore to buy reference books.

Or to buy books that can kill people - in a sense that's what he's doing now.

After emptying out all the stocks of these two books, Lin Luo left the bookstore contentedly.

"A total of 54 books, although less than one set, but it is enough."

Lin Luo returned to the car, and without anyone else noticing, he put the two boxes of books back into Steve's backpack with a flick of his wrist.

The books that originally took up a lot of space suddenly disappeared in his hands and turned into books in the backpack.

This is also the effect he obtained after testing. Only books wrapped in leather or thick cardboard will become books that can be synthesized into bookshelves or used for enchantment after being put into the backpack.

When other books are put away, they will become two props of "book and pen" or a book.

And that is not the prop that Lin Luo wants.

"You don't want to use these books as weapons, do you?" Laurentina said uncontrollably.

"Of course not." Lin Luo said with a smile: "But we do need the power from the books to escort our battle.

"Words are powerful, Laurentina."

Lin Luo started the off-road vehicle and said to Laurentina, "By the way, can you dance?"

"Of course!" Laurentina replied very simply: "Are you going to a dance party next?"

"No, next we're going to dance the Great God."

Laurentina: "?"

Chapter 45 Bloom

Lin Luo didn't really let Laurentina dance with him to the Great God.

On the one hand, this is a joke, and on the other hand, Lin Luo feels that there is no need to use this level of metaphysics.

In essence, it is because Lin Luo's own experience value is really not much, and he cannot perform the highest level of enchantment.

Before the level 30 enchantment could not be performed, the first two levels of enchantment were more used for emergencies, or to lay the foundation for subsequent enchantments.

This is why Lin Luo has to buy a large number of books, even if the number of these books is enough for him to synthesize the bookshelves needed for enchanting.

Many times, people have to believe in and accept their own luck, and those full-matching enchantments only exist in fantasy.

But there is also a way to turn fantasy into reality, and that is to use the mechanism of enchanted books to perform enchantment stacking.

Lin Luo can enchant books with low-level spells, and then two enchanted books with the same level of spells can be fused on the anvil to obtain an enchanted book with a higher-level spell.

Most of the graduation equipment also rely on this form of enchanted books to collect all the magic spells. Apart from being a little cumbersome, this method is also considered more stable.

However, Laurentina was particularly interested in the process of Lin Luo's enchantment, because it was a very novel experience for her.

Lin Luo did not carry out enchantment in Atyrau. After replenishing supplies, he left Atyrau with Laurentina, and then followed the city navigation system all the way to Caraton.

The distance between the two cities is not too far for a mobile city, but it will take some time for ordinary off-road vehicles to cross this distance.

After walking about an average distance, Lin Luo stopped the off-road vehicle to rest for a while, and took this opportunity to complete the enchantment.

After putting down the workbench, Lin Luo took out a few spare logs and broke them into wooden boards, and used the wooden boards and books to synthesize a bookshelf, and the number of bookshelves is a key link in determining the level of enchantment.

Then came the production of the enchanting table, which was expensive and required four pieces of obsidian and two pieces of diamonds to complete.

For Lin Luo now, he has been able to achieve freedom in quantity of obsidian, but the number of diamonds is really one less.

Feeling a little pained, Lin Luo synthesized the enchanting table from the workbench and placed it on the ground.

From Laurentina's perspective, more than half of this strange square is made of obsidian, and only on the surface is it decorated with red cloth and diamonds.

But the most peculiar thing is the book at the top of the box.

It was floating directly above the block, and seemed to be able to notice its own sight. Without Lin Luo making any movement, it automatically spread itself out and rotated towards him.

Laurentina tried to read and understand the words in the book, but she only took a second glance to confirm that these square-like fonts did not belong to any civilization on Terra.

And when those square bookshelves were placed around the enchanting table, those wonderful fonts floated out of the bookshelves like ribbons woven by light and shadow, and gathered into the book above the enchanting table.

Looking at those fonts, Laurentina even had an urge to reach out and touch them to see if the fonts would stay on her hands.

But in the end she still didn't bother Lin Luo's work.

At this time, Lin Luo was calculating his own experience, and checking the enchantment spells of each armor by the way.

"It should be said that luck is good or bad. Although the highest level enchantment of these armors is quite bad, at least the low-level enchantments are still protection 1."

In the enchantment table, Lin Luo looked helplessly at the underwater speed diggers and deep sea explorers.

These properties are useful, but not so necessary, especially in this case.

But there is also good news. Low-level armors all have protection spells that can directly reduce damage, and even the second-level enchantment on the breastplate directly provides protection two spells.

Compared with other armor spells with specific points, Lin Luo still prefers the protection spell that provides comprehensive damage reduction, and the higher the level, the better.

And the next thing I have to face is a witch, and the opponent's attack method is mainly based on magic damage, and the protection spell is the only way that can directly reduce its damage.

"Then there is lapis lazuli, which is also pitifully rare."

Lin Luo fiddled with his inventory. As a hamster player, he felt deeply uneasy about the contents of his warehouse: "I remember that the old version did not require lapis lazuli to enchant, and I don't know when it was changed to this .”

After putting his magic steel armor on the enchanting table, with the disappearance of lapis lazuli and experience, the words that converged into light bands merged into the armor itself.

A moment later, with a sound like a wind chime, a layer of streamer quickly wrapped the surface of these armors, gorgeous but not dazzling.

But these streams of light did not last long. They simply dimmed after completely covering the surface of the armor.

This change made Lin Luo think that the enchantment had failed, but after taking the armor back into his hand, he found that the enchantment was successful, but the special effect disappeared.

This is not a bad thing, otherwise, walking on the street in that kind of glittering clothes is no different from ostentation.

"Are you sure you don't want some armor, Laurentina?" Lin Luo asked Laurentina at the side after checking his armor.

Before setting off from the wooden house, Lin Luo had asked Laurentina these questions.

And what he got was Laurentina's polite refusal. The other party did not express disdain for the performance of these armors, but explained it from a practical point of view.

Except for a set of magic steel, ordinary armor is too bulky for Laurentina.

Although even the iron sheath can give Laurentina some protection, compared with the loss of flexibility, Laurentina feels that the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the magic steel set... If there is still time to fill the magic pool with mana again, Lin Luo will definitely make a set for her.

In addition to defensive performance, Laurentina also believes that the special physique of deep-sea hunters means that they do not need to rely on armor.

Their bodies combined with Haisi are the best armor.

However, Lin Luo held a certain negative attitude towards this. Although he knew little about the setting of the Ark, he felt that in a sense, this sea-child combination operation was to implant a kind of cancer cell into the body of the deep-sea hunter.

Now Laurentina can still suppress the cancer cells, but who knows when these sea descendants will spread.

So in this case, Lin Luo thought it was best not to stimulate cell activity.

Especially in the case of re-repair of body damage, this kind of see-saw-like cell division and reorganization can be regarded as opening the door for Haisi cells to assimilate themselves.

"No, Mr. Craftsman." Laurentina shook her head slightly: "Please also believe in my strength and this body—at least it is not as fragile as you imagined."

Decided, when some modules are available in the future, we must wash all the Haisi cells in Laurentina's body... Lin Luo thought so.

…………

At night, the city of Calaton is still full of feasting and feasting.

This Victorian coastal city was under the rule of the Duke of Godottin. The urban area has a complete industrial system, and also has a military factory that provides equipment for the Victorian army.

It has a long history, which makes it have a large number of urban areas and satellite cities.

Of course, there are also a large number of infected groups.

Regarding the infected, Caraton upholds Victoria's usual style. Once discovered, they will be immediately sent to a special quarantine area for infected people, and they will never be allowed to leave this quarantine area.

However, this is stated on the surface, but Caraton's review of infected people is not meticulous. As long as they deliberately hide it, some infected people with mild symptoms can still move around in the city.

Of course, there are also people who are committed to changing this situation, and some city officials are committed to implementing stricter management regulations for the infected in Caraton.

As for whether they are really for the security environment of the city they say, or for their own interests, it is not known.

Dofulan is one of the officials who support the change of the management regulations. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Urban Communications, he is particularly annoyed by the behavior of those infected people occupying various underground transportation pipelines in the city.

These infected people interfered with many projects he wanted to connect with local construction companies, disrupted many urban reconstruction works, and forced a large number of pipelines that could relieve the city's logistics pressure to be abandoned.

Therefore, the infected must be supervised with more pressure!

Dofulan stopped his writing and looked at the report document in front of him with satisfaction.

Next, he will lobby some local nobles so that this document can gain a strong vote in the municipal council.

"Honey, are you having any guests recently?"

Mrs. Dofulan's voice appeared outside the study. She knocked on the door of the study symbolically, and opened the door without waiting for Duofran's response.

"Guest?" Dofulan looked at his wife, with a little doubt in his tone: "I haven't received any invitations these days..."

"What about this gift box and this letter?"

Mrs. Doverland put the square box in her hand on the desk, and read out the contents of the letter: "Dear Mr. Doverland, I will visit at nine o'clock tonight to discuss the underground proposal proposed by Earl Adams. Please forgive me for rushing to make an appointment for the reconstruction of the pipeline, so I will give a small thank you gift to Mr. Dofulan, and I also wish Haihan—Ms. Sophia."

"Earl Adams?" Dofreund's puzzled expression became even more serious. He knew this local nobleman of Caraton, but the relationship between the two was not considered friendly.

Earl Adams is an ambitious man who is committed to bringing all affairs into party struggles, which has made grassroots officials like Dofulan dislike him very much.

At the same time, Adams has always held a firm opposition to the reconstruction of underground pipelines, and even threatened the development company, which is another major obstacle for Dofulan to advance the work.

Why did you suddenly want to seek cooperation again?

He took the gift box and slit the tape with a letter opener.

The wrapping paper fell off, and a flower frozen in ice appeared in front of the Dofulan couple.

It looks like a rose, frozen in the last moment before withering.

It's like some kind of work of art, with a decaying aesthetic, but the jet-black petals look downright disgusting.

And at the bottom of this ice cube, there is also a string of small characters engraved.

"Smell the fragrance of withered roses?"
