Chapter 148 Exploration and Harvest

In front of the Rune Mage Tower.

"After we go in, everyone will split up. Salt, you lead people to explore the lower three floors, and I will be responsible for the upper two floors. We only have thirty minutes. Try to find magic materials, books, scrolls and other precious items. Don't pay too much attention to gold, silver and treasures." Mo Yu instructed the people behind him.

The entire mage tower has five floors, and due to limited time, the team had to act separately.

After briefly arranging the tasks, he walked to the gate of the Mage Tower first.

There were two magic puppets standing on both sides of the gate. When they saw someone approaching, their eyes suddenly lit up and shone on everyone.

Then with a "creak", the door opened automatically.

Mo Yu and Salt looked at each other, and led the team quickly into the room.

After entering the first floor, there is a vast hall with magic lights hanging from the ceiling.

It’s just that due to their age, these magic lamps have lost their energy source and have completely lost their light.

The hall was in a dilapidated state, with a mess of debris scattered all over the floor, covered in dust.

Mo Yu didn't stay long. He parted ways with Salt and ran straight to the corridor leading to the second floor.

After going upstairs, you can see that the second floor is an accommodation area.

Most of the magician apprentices and magicians who follow the Mage Tower live in this area.

Going up further, the third floor seems to be a magic laboratory and also a place for lectures.

There is some profit, but probably not much.

Without stopping, Mo Yu arrived at the fourth floor.

The structure here is similar to that of the third floor. It is also a magic laboratory with a room with a closed door on each side.

Compared to the third floor, the equipment in the magic laboratory on the fourth floor is more sophisticated, and it is clearly an area for the owner of the Mage Tower to use.

You can see a large number of magical instruments on the tables on both sides of the laboratory, but unfortunately many of them are broken.

In the open space in the middle is a magic construct puppet similar to the one at the gate of the Mage Tower.

But judging from its appearance, it should be a semi-finished product.

"Go check the rooms on both sides and take out any good stuff you find." Mo Yu pointed to the rooms on both sides of the laboratory and instructed the shadow scout beside him.

And he began to search in the magic laboratory.

This Rune Mage Tower has been abandoned for who knows how long, and the table and floor are covered with dust.

Many of those magical instruments were also buried in the dust.

There are still quite a few of them with residual materials inside, and I don’t know what they are.

Mo Yu spent three or four minutes sweeping through the place and selected two relatively intact magic instruments and put them into his backpack.

By the way, he also put the unfinished magic construct puppet into his backpack.

It is shown as Rune Constructed Puppet Type II, unfinished.

Anyway, just take it back first. Even if it is useless, you can still get a lot of materials from it by dismantling it into scrap metal.

By this time, the shadow scout had finished searching the house.

One returned empty-handed, and the other was holding a large stack of animal skin scrolls.

"Spell scroll?" Mo Yu's mind moved.

The shadow scout shook his head, indicating that he didn't recognize these things either, and only brought them out because he was unsure.

Mo Yu took a quick look through the detection technique and saw that it was a scroll that recorded the detailed experimental data of the magic constructed puppet.

He hesitated for a moment, then put everything into his backpack.

Fortunately, these scrolls can be stacked.

This large stack of things doesn't take up much backpack capacity.

"The room on the left is the battle lab... The room on the right is where the experimental data is stored."

Mo Yu figured out the functions of the two rooms, and decisively went to the room on the right, clearing out the thousands of scrolls stored there in one breath.

He didn't have time to check what was written on the scrolls. Fifteen minutes had already passed and he had to hurry.

Even though thirty minutes seems long, it’s actually… half an hour.

But just climbing the stairs and hurrying along took Mo Yu a lot of time.

He did not dare to delay and quickly followed the winding escalator to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower, which was also the last floor of the Mage Tower.

As the top floor of the Mage Tower, this is the living area for the owner of the Mage Tower.

So, if there are any precious items, they are most likely here.

There are a total of six rooms on the fifth floor.

Mo Yu immediately fell in love with the largest one, which turned out to be a private library.

He couldn't help but smile.

I have been looking for books for Tazhai Library for so long, and this is it.

For others, knowledge is power, which may be words of encouragement to study.

But for Mo Yu, knowledge is indeed power.

The Tazhai Library is in need of a large number of books to enrich it and increase civilization points, so as to upgrade and unlock new features.

Isn't this the case, knowledge = power?

He waved his hand, signaling the shadow scouts to check the other rooms.

Mo Yu, on the other hand, plunged into the library and began to loot it frantically.

The 200-grid backpack played an unparalleled role at this moment.

In the backpack, books can also be stacked repeatedly, but only in groups of ten.

Soon, all the books on the bookshelf were sold out.

There were also more than a thousand books of various kinds in Mo Yu's backpack.

"My Lord, I have discovered a large amount of white magic crystals."

The shadow scout's voice suddenly came, and Mo Yu quickly rushed over and put a mountain of white magic crystals into his backpack.

Here, another shadow scout made a new discovery.

……

In this way, Mo Yu's backpack gradually became full.

There are books, magic materials and even decoration materials in the backpack...

Who allowed the owner of this wizard tower to be so extravagant as to use gray magic steel as a desk? This kind of gray magic steel has good magic conductivity and is one of the best materials for making magic equipment.

Many magic swords are forged from mithril mixed with gray magic steel.

And the lamp is a fourth-level clam spirit bead, which has the effect of calming the mind.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Mo Yu and the Shadow Scout were unable to find the secret warehouse in the Mage Tower.

The time is too short, otherwise if we dismantle it bit by bit, we will find something sooner or later.

"Lord, please come down for a moment. There are many materials here that we cannot take away."

At this time, Salt's voice was heard in the corridor.

Mo Yu's face lit up with joy, he didn't expect that he could gain something from Salt's journey.

On the fifth floor, everything of some value has basically been put into the backpack and is not worth further exploring.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated and jumped down from the ladder in the corridor.

Time is urgent and safety is not an option at this moment.

After his physique has been greatly strengthened, Mo Yu will be fine if he jumps from this height.

Fifth floor... Fourth floor... Third floor...

He jumped down one floor after another, and in just half a minute, he reached the first floor of the Mage Tower.

Salt was standing in a corner, with a door next to him, and it was pitch black inside. "This is the basement, there are a lot of magic materials down there," Salt said quickly.

He and several other shadow scouts were each holding a pile of items, which should be their gains on the lower three levels.

However, they were unable to take the magic materials in the underground warehouse, so they had to look for Mo Yu.

Mo Yu looked at the time and saw that there was less than a minute left.

Without even bothering to answer, he ran straight to the underground warehouse.

I didn't even bother to look after going down, I just picked up the materials on the ground and stuffed them into my backpack.

[Reminder: The challenge of the 'Last Rune Mage Tower' ruins has ended and will return soon. ]

The scene before their eyes changed rapidly, and everyone returned to the cave.

It had not been long since I entered the gate to the ruins, but I had the illusion that I was in another world.

Mo Yu, who was still subconsciously controlling his backpack to pick up items, was shocked and realized that he had already left the ruins.

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly felt very upset, as if he had missed out on 100 million.

"Hey, I forgot about the two magic puppets in front of the door. I don't know if I can get them back!"

It turned out that he had his eyes on the two security guards.

But we have already left the ruins space, it's too late to say anything now.

In fact, even if Mo Yu went over, it would be difficult to take away the two magic puppets.

Activated magic puppets and unactivated magic puppets are two different concepts. The former are already a type of soldier, while the latter are still items.

"The puppet cannot be taken away, but this door..."

Mo Yu looked ahead. The bottom of the cave was empty. Apart from the smooth stone walls, there was no door to the ruins.

That’s all!

Shaking his head, Mo Yu regained his composure and decided it was time to go home.

After explaining it to Salt, he put it into the War Gate.

However, Mo Yu noticed one thing, that is, even though Salt's dragon eagle was in his War Gate, it was still counted as Mo Yu's.

The capacity of the War Gate suddenly reached 49 and it was almost unable to fit in anything.

It seems that there are not so many bugs to be stuck.

The War Gate nesting doll tactics cannot be implemented.

Stepping into the portal opened by the return to city spell, Mo Yu returned to the territory.

At this moment, it has unknowingly reached dusk.

The gate of war was opened, Salt and others were released, and the defense towers were placed in their corresponding positions.

Mo Yu glanced at the territory and found the overall situation was good. He turned around and put all his attention into the harvest.

First of all, there is a dazzling array of spoils in the backpack.

The spoils are mainly divided into four major parts. The first part is the semi-finished products of rune constructs and a large amount of magic test data.

If these things are used properly, the territory can completely master the manufacturing technology of rune constructs.

But unfortunately, Annis is the only one in the territory who has the ability to conduct magic research.

Moreover, he focused on magic scrolls and magic potions and knew nothing about magic construction.

If you want to make use of these things, you need enough talent to support you.

The second largest part is books, which total more than a thousand books, most of which are related to magic.

Among them are many books related to magic systems and magic skill learning.

But the most important thing about these books is that they can be sent to the Tazhai Library, which can increase a wave of civilization points.

There are at least over a hundred of them, and if some of them are rare and special enough, there may be more.

The third large part is magic materials.

Mo Yu collected some of the precious magical materials on the fifth floor, but the quantity was not much.

What he values ​​most are the white magic crystals.

There are more than one hundred in total.

If the goblin engineer is not bragging, more logging machines and mining machines can be started.

In addition, there are magic crystals of the five basic elements of wind, thunder, water, fire and earth as rewards from the ruins.

Next, it will be much easier to upgrade Mo Yu’s defense tower.

The remaining materials are mainly the magic materials collected from the underground warehouse before leaving, most of which are basic materials of relatively ordinary value.

Various types of mineral powders, beast furs, metals, etc. should be useful to Annis.

The fourth largest part is various drawings.

The rewards are mainly based on the various construction drawings in the rare treasure chests that were opened before. The ruins only rewarded one construction drawing of the Rune Mage Tower.

Overall, the gains were great.

However, there was still a certain gap between what Mo Yu had originally expected from exploring the Mage Tower and what he expected.

Most of them were materials and knowledge. He didn't see any finished magic scrolls or magic equipment.

Of course, this time there was more than just the spoils of war.

There is also a more important gain, that is, the levels of the troops and defense towers under Mo Yu have been upgraded.

In terms of military units, Salt was successfully promoted to the third-tier epic level, and two of the shadow scouts were successfully promoted to the fourth-tier rare level.

Dragon eagles have basically reached the second epic level, and only Zosi has reached the third level so far.

As for defense towers, leaving aside the Magic Crossbow Tower and the Fiery Sea of ​​Fire Tower that were destroyed and downgraded, the remaining defense towers.

The Holy Sword Tower was successfully upgraded to the fourth level, and the damage increase of the marked target was increased to 50%.

The three totem towers, the Fury Totem Tower and the Earth Totem Tower were all upgraded to the fourth-level epic level. Only the Hurricane Totem Tower was stuck on an epic creature and remained at the third level.

After the totem tower was upgraded, the damage range was expanded by five meters to fifteen meters.

The aura effects have also increased by 5% each, increasing damage by 20% and defense by 20% respectively.

However, the totem protection has not changed. Each defense tower still stacks 20% damage increase and 20% damage reduction.

The Flame Wolf Summoning Tower has also been upgraded to the fourth level, and the Wolf King Summoning has been changed to when there is no Wolf King nearby, the Flame Wolf King with a commanding aura will definitely be summoned.

At the same time, there is a 5% chance to summon an elite Flame Wolf with aura abilities.

I believe that if this development trend continues, the Flame Wolf Summoning Tower will be able to easily raise a large-scale and high-quality Flame Wolf pack.

The Rapid Rifle Tower, Skeleton Resurrection Tower, Zombification Tower, Repair Tower, Ammunition Supply Tower, etc. are each promoted to the first level, and their attributes are increased to varying degrees.

Repair towers have a new feature, Quick Repair, which can quickly repair 30% of the defense value of the defense tower.

It can be used once every half an hour, which is a good recovery ability.

The Earth Spear Tower and the Explosive Arrow Tower were each upgraded to the fourth level in one go.

There are no major changes to the Explosive Arrow Tower, but the Earth Spear Tower has a new feature, Ground Fissure, which has a chance to cause changes to the surrounding terrain.

This feature is quite useful. It may not be very effective against small groups of monsters in the wild, but on the battlefield, this type of attack with the ability to change terrain is very useful.

Imagine that the cavalry are charging and suddenly get hit like this.

Who can guard against it?
The only pity is the Victory Gun Tower, which is still at the third-level legendary level.

Because Mo Yu kept it for decapitation, the attack rate remained at a relatively low state, and the advancement progress only reached 25887/45000.

However, we successfully killed eight epic creatures.

Just kill one more and the advancement conditions for this section will be met.

Basically, promotion to the fourth level is just a matter of time.
