I am the one running the game

Chapter 939: You can ask the Empire for help, why are you looking for me...

"No, you said that not only did they fail to take down that magic castle, but they also killed 99% of the empire's 1,000 Type 4 steam soldiers?" Lu Xingshi's eye twitched.

His experiment was interrupted again. This time, it was Cato who came rushing over, exhausted. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had not even rested on the way, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

"Yes, it is a monster called Soul Demon by Earl Edward..." Cato described it to Lu Xingshi.

After hearing this, Lu Xingshi began to doubt his life. Isn't this thing the aggregate of souls that came to possess his body for the second time?

"Wait, let me think about it again. Did you meet a living person?" Lu Xingshi finally found out what was wrong.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't exist. The remains of these interstellar civilizations have either been wiped out by the world or assimilated into it. If you were an intelligent machine, you could understand it, because those things are just a bunch of iron lumps after all.

But you said it's a living thing, or a living thing with a soul. How could this thing possibly survive?

Unless there is some kind of equipment capable of resisting the world around the interstellar battleships and space fortresses, the remnants of this interstellar civilization will definitely not survive.

On second thought, Edward had already cleared out quite a few of them before, which meant that this was really possible.

I can only say that we should not underestimate any civilization.

"Alive, that's strange?" Cato keenly noticed the problem.

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

"But these monsters really exist, otherwise I would not have come to the Dragon Mountains to ask you to deal with them." Cato still refuted Lu Xingshi.

"I know, but I can't get away." Lu Xingshi spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice.

He could see that this world was indeed rejecting his experiment, but because Lu Xingshi was not an interstellar survivor and had sufficient status and strength, he had no way to take direct action.

This used various indirect influences to prevent him from having enough energy to carry out experiments.

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

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

"If you don't go, no one will be able to solve the magic castle. Once the monsters in it break through the seals set by the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, even the empire will be affected." Cato tried to persuade him: "If you are willing to help solve it, everything in the magic castle can be given to you."

It is definitely not enough to just talk, you have to give Lu Xingshi substantial benefits.

"Well..." Lu Xingshi was indeed tempted, but he knew that this was just a sugar-coated bullet.

If I go this time, there will definitely be a next time, and the next time, and I will keep delaying the progress of my experiment.

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

“But there is a solution.”

As Lu Xingshi spoke, he took out a few earth elves from the earth ring.

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

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

"How to use it?" Cato asked.

"I've made these earth elves more violent. Let them out and fight."

"If we really can't defeat them, let them self-destruct and see if we can both perish together."

“If even dying together is not an option, you can stick them on the seal and hold out for a while. It won’t be too late to go over there after I finish.” Lu Xingshi said as he transformed 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 an accessory and assistant for Lu Xingshi, rather than using it for fighting and killing, which would be a waste.

It is a type of soldier that tends to be auxiliary in nature.

"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 most, it can be regarded as elemental life plus artificial intelligence.

Cato had no good solution to Lu Xingshi's attitude.

Even though Lu Xingshi was unwilling, he had no way to force her. It was already great that he could help.

"How long can that delay?" asked Cato.

"I don't know." Lu Xingshi's answer was even more honest. He even heard Cato's dictation about the situation in the Demon Castle. He had no idea what the specific situation was, so how could he analyze how long it would be delayed?

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

His request was not high, just to delay it for another month.

"Oh? What's the method? I'll try my best to help!" 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 promoting his ability to lock time.

But others will be on edge, wondering how they might 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 any more questions: "How long can you delay?" "About a month. If it's more than that, I'm not sure." Lu Xingshi calculated the data and found that the success rate was not high, probably around 5%.

The main reason is that there are too many things involved, and it is definitely not that easy, especially since it involves the protagonist Edward and the layout of the world.

To say it is easy is certainly unrealistic.

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

"That's right, so let the earth elf hold you over for a while." Lu Xingshi said, handing an earth elf that had turned into a red-warm to Gato.

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

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

"If the opponent inflicts one force on the earth spirit, he can return ten forces to it."

"Then, I faced the Iron Man and the monsters. I was also very tough. I grew bigger and rolled over. Then..."

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

With his weak arms and legs, he would be courting death if he tried to deal with a big red ball of light that looked like a monster.

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

Extraordinary soldiers have powerful strength, but senior leaders and commanders do not, which is very problematic.

He knew the situation of the Orei Empire, which relied on cohesion.

This thing is fake, it is indeed fake.

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

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

The simplest point is that people are more united, especially after the threat of interstellar survivors emerged. The original infighting is easing and factions are beginning to fade.

Lu Xingshi didn't believe that there was no protagonist halo and no interference from the world.

As for the reasons for the other empires, Lu Xingshi was not very clear, and he did not pay too much attention to them.

"I know a little bit. It seems to be related to the origin of the magical device called the steam engine." Cato said.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he found it interesting.

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

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

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

Could it be some special magical weapon formed by a combination of supernatural powers and steam engines from some interstellar civilization that has not been fully assimilated?

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

"But the gods are a thing of the past, not to mention the evil gods."

“So the top brass 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. Not only was there an interstellar civilization, but how could there be such a thing as an evil god?

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

Without considering the problem of the evil god 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's not even 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. That's because the magic mirror is smart."

"My earth ring function does not include intelligence, so the earth elf is a little confused."

"But being stupid has its advantages. If you let it go, it won't hesitate at all."

"Extraordinary soldiers will be different because of the different magical weapons, so they have their own characteristics. You can't expect the earth elves and magic mirror puppets to be at the same level." Lu Xingshi is not creating 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 group of earth elves out.

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

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

I have to say that the quality of the extraordinary soldiers produced is indeed good, whether it is the original Moonlight Werewolf, the later Magic Mirror Puppet, or the Earth Elves.

However, this time, Lu Xingshi estimated that it was unlikely that the Earth Elves, this group of extraordinary soldiers, would be given to the Empire.

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