Chapter 375 Steam Origin Power
Seeing Wu Chang open his eyes, Raventon asked, "What did you sense?"

Wu Chang said: "There is a certain extraordinary steam engine in the textile factory. It can produce a special steam that invalidates all extraordinary abilities that come into contact with it."

"But the steam doesn't cover a large area. This effect actually exposes the location of the extraordinary steam engine."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it is hidden in the high-end fabric workshop."

A look of helplessness appeared on Raventon's face. He began to suspect that Wu Chang had used some kind of hypnosis on him while he was not paying attention, and then took the opportunity to sneak into the textile factory and conduct a thorough investigation.

"Rather than using your remote perception, I would rather believe that you came here beforehand to check it out."

"Now that we have determined that there is a problem here, what should we do next?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "Just like at the Songshu Coal Mine, notify Julie and let her clean up the mess."

Raventon took out a piece of paper, wrote down briefly what happened, and then activated the communication magic to pass the information to Julie.

Wu Chang asked, "Has the message been passed on?"

Ravington put the pen back into his pocket and said, "It has been passed on. With Julie's efficiency, she will be able to bring people here in less than an hour or two."

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Very good, we should do what we need to do now."

Seeing Wu Chang walking towards the Sloan Textile Factory, Ravington had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly followed and said:
"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Wu Chang said as a matter of course: "Of course we go in and arrest people. Didn't I say that it's the same as the Songshu Coal Mine? We are responsible for handling everything and let Julie bring people to clean up the mess."

The corner of Ravington's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked in confusion: "Just the two of us?"

Wu Chang said with certainty: "Of course."

Raventon said unhappily: "Then you shouldn't let me inform Julie, but the one you trust the most, Heping."

"You just said that the extraordinary steam engine in the textile factory can invalidate extraordinary abilities. You know, the Sloan Textile Factory employs at least 50 supervisors and has also been keeping a lot of thugs from the Gaelic gang."

"We are facing hundreds of armed thugs, and they are likely to be carrying guns loaded with magic-destroying bullets!"

Wu Chang asked doubtfully, "So?"

Raventon rolled his eyes and said:
"So we should call in all the people. If not the entire police department, at least get the 20 or 30 people from the Secret Security Department to come."

Wu Chang did not stop and continued to walk towards the Sloan Textile Factory, saying nonchalantly:

"It's just dealing with dozens of ordinary people. There's no need to be so nervous. Haven't you ever practiced fighting and swordsmanship besides your extraordinary powers?"

Raventon complained, but still followed Wu Chang, "I just hate unnecessary risks."

The two men just arrived at the entrance of the Sloan Textile Factory. Two guards with ferocious and unfriendly faces and whips on their waists came over and said:

"Tactician, what are you doing here?"

Wu Chang said, "We received a report that illegal products are being produced in the factory. You two..."

Wu Chang was stuck, and turned back to ask Ravington: "What should the police call these visitors?"

"Dirty garbage," Raventon prompted.

Wu Chang turned around and continued, "You two filthy bastards, immediately squat on the ground with your heads in your hands and cooperate with our inspection."

The two guards laughed angrily, reached for the whips at their waists, and said:

"Are you crazy? Can't you see that this is Mr. Sloan's factory? I..."

Before the guard could finish his words, his body flew backwards, smashing the gate of the Sloan Textile Mill behind him.

"How dare you..."

The other guard didn't have time to finish his words before he was sent flying backwards like his companion.

Wu Chang slowly retracted his foot and asked Raventon:

"This is not a meaningless adventure. It will save us a lot of time, and time is money."

He stepped through the broken gate and over the two unconscious guards and walked straight into the textile factory.

Raventon sighed, gripped his cane, and followed Wu Chang.

The noise at the door had attracted the attention of the guards inside the textile factory. When the guards rushed out, they saw their two companions lying on the ground.

But due to the skin of Wu Chang and Raventon, the guards did not dare to engage in direct conflict. Instead, they shouted at the two to stop and asked what happened.

Now they were outside the Sloan Textile Mill, and their extraordinary abilities had not yet been affected by the power of the steam source. Wu Chang snapped his fingers, and all the guards who rushed out of the factory disappeared instantly.

He snapped his fingers again, and the guards were lying on the ground covered in water, all unconscious.

For those guards who have not mastered supernatural powers, they only need to soak in the Blind Abyss for a while. The power of the Blind Abyss will scatter their consciousness, making them unable to react to what is happening and fall into complete darkness.

Raventon followed Wu Chang's footsteps and continued to walk deeper into the factory. He looked back at the guards lying on the ground and asked in confusion:

"What did you do to them?"

Wu Chang said: "We just sent them to take a bath in the Hills River."

The guards were dealt with so quickly that the workers in the workshop had no time to react to what was happening.

When Wu Chang and Raventon walked through the workshop, the textile workers did not react to their presence at all. They stared numbly at the machines in front of them, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Several supervisors noticed something unusual, and one of them wanted to come up and question him, but was stopped by his companions.

It is better to have less trouble than more. The guards outside have let these watchdogs in, so why should they, the supervisors, get into trouble?

In this way, Wu Chang and Raventon swaggered through the outer ordinary workshop and came to the high-end fabric workshop.

Standing at the door of the workshop, the two felt a sense of oppression, as if a layer of transparent plastic wrap covered their bodies, making them feel stuffy in their chests and their extraordinary powers unable to flow smoothly.

Wu Chang kicked open the door of the high-end fabric workshop and rushed in with Raventon. What greeted them was a rain of bullets and curses.

Wu Chang asked, "Are you ready?"

Ravington grabbed the handle of his cane and pulled it out, pulling out a rapier from it, and said unhappily:
"You should have said that before you kicked the door."

Wu Chang picked up a crowbar from behind the bunker and said, "It's not too late to talk now."

In the high-end fabric workshop, affected by the power of the steam source, neither of them could use their extraordinary powers.

This included the permanent shield of "Knight Never Dies Unarmed" in Wu Chang's job transfer skill. Although his title of Titan was not affected and ordinary magic-breaking bullets could not threaten him, he was not prepared to reveal this trump card for the time being.

He and Ravington hid behind cover, listening to the gunfire and counting silently in their hearts.

Most of the pistols currently used in the market in Stian are revolvers with six bullets in the cylinder.

The thugs hired in the Sloan Textile Mill were a mob. They only knew how to provide firepower but did not know how to cooperate.

After six bullets were used up, there was a brief vacuum in the workshop. Wu Chang and Raventon exchanged glances and rushed out from behind the cover at the same time.

Wu Chang possesses the passive ability of "Master-level Cold Weapon Usage". He wields a crowbar and rushes into a group of mobs who are frantically reloading bullets, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

He swung the crowbar in his hand very quickly, and the thugs present had no time to react to what was happening before their limbs were broken and they fell to the ground.

On the other side, Raventon's performance was not bad either. He came from a noble family and was proficient in marksmanship and swordsmanship.

Although his swordsmanship is far from the master level, it is more than enough to deal with thugs.

The slender cane sword is extremely tricky in his hands. He can accurately see the enemy's weaknesses and make the opponent unable to resist within one or two swords.

While fighting, he had time to read the battlefield and found that the thugs in the distance had loaded their bullets. He still had time to use his free left hand to raise his gun and shoot, killing the target that might pose a threat.

The high-end fabric workshop is the core of the Sloan Textile Mill. More than thirty armed thugs were gathered here, but in just one minute, half of them were lying on the ground.

Those who were hired were just thugs from the Gaelic gang, not death squads. Seeing how brutal the two men were, they quickly dropped their revolvers and lay on the ground in surrender.

Wu Chang grabbed one of the thugs and asked, "Who's in charge here?"

He pointed to the back of the workshop and said, "Mr. Sloan is in charge of this place. When you rushed in, he had already fled to the back."

In the deepest part of the high-end fabric workshop, there is a huge loom that is over 15 meters high. It connects all the looms in the workshop, or in other words, all the small looms in the workshop are part of it. Sloan moved his fat body and came to the front of the soul loom under the escort of two trusted bodyguards.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttering:

"Oh no, they really came to find us. Those damn flatterers only obeyed the orders of that bitch. They can't tell who is paying taxes and who is the real owner of this country."

"Fortunately, the envoy of God reserved a secret passage in advance, otherwise we would have been caught by them."

Sloan pressed a hidden button on the loom, and a secret door appeared on the loom. The secret door was very narrow, and he needed to inhale, retract his stomach, and turn sideways to enter.

He turned around and looked at his two trusted bodyguards, saying, "Help me hold back those flatterers. I'll find a way to get you out."

The two bodyguards bowed and said, "Understood, Mr. Sloan!"

Sloan didn't have time to say more. He heard the gunshots in the distance becoming sparse. He quickly closed the door of the secret passage from the inside and struggled to squeeze into the secret passage.

The two confidants looked at each other, came to the other side of the Soul Loom, and pressed another hidden button.

Inside the Soul Loom, Sloan felt that today's secret passage was particularly long. During the previous test, he only needed half a minute to pass through the secret passage, enter the underground river through the tunnel, and leave by boat.

But today, it took him a minute and he still couldn't reach the entrance of the tunnel.

He walked for another ten seconds and finally saw the familiar secret passage door. He pushed open the secret door, and what appeared before him was not the entrance to the tunnel, but a special small space.

where is this?
The room was very hot, making him sweat profusely. He took off his coat and walked towards the honeycomb wall at the end of the space.

He could feel a hot air flowing out of it, and it seemed to be connected to the outside world.

He came to the wall, looked through the honeycomb to the other side, and found that there was a burning boiler behind the honeycomb wall.

The raging flame in the boiler was rushing towards him along countless honeycombs.

"No!"

Along with screams and a faint aroma of roasted meat, the Soul Loom emitted a puff of light red steam.

The two trusted bodyguards chanted the scriptures of the Tranquility Sect and calmly activated the self-destruction program. After finishing the short scriptures, they put the revolvers in their mouths, faced Wu Chang and Raventon who were rushing from a distance, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
One of the bodyguards hesitated for a moment when firing and did not die on the spot.

As his life passed, he heard the irritable Soul Loom calm down, and a voice said mockingly:

"These guys have not learned their lesson. I even stopped the self-explosion at the Songshu Coal Mine, let alone this little machine."

With the Omniscient Crystal, it was easy for Wu Chang to stop the Soul Loom from self-destructing.

In order to prevent the Soul Loom from self-destructing, he followed the guidance of the Omniscient Crystal and found the core parts of the Soul Loom.

It was a mechanical shuttle that looked extremely sophisticated, composed of countless tiny parts.

"Item Name: Soul Spindle"

「Item type: Special」

"Item Skill: Precision Weaving."

"Skill Description: Soul Spinning Shuttle records a special weaving method that can maximize the characteristics of different raw materials and produce high-quality cloth using original raw materials."

"Note: This component is the core of Stillan's textile technology and the shining jewel in the crown of industry."

「Item Skill: Soul Weaving」 (Unlocked by King Badge)

"Skill Description: Consume vitality and soul to resonate with the soul spindle, synchronize with the precision weaving method, immerse yourself in the joy of weaving, and allow ordinary looms to use precision weaving. Consume a large amount of vitality and soul to weave special fabrics with extraordinary effects."

Immersed in the joy of weaving, it is no wonder that the workers in the high-end fabric workshop seem to be high while working. If the supervisors had not forced them to stop, they would probably have worked themselves to death.

Wu Chang looked at the Soul Spinning Shuttle and thought to himself that this was definitely a good thing, but it was a pity that it was born at the wrong time.

If we bring this thing back to reality, and open a textile club in the lighthouse and charge by the hour, it will definitely be a hit.

For those addicts who are the walking dead, the life force and soul that the Soul-Spinner extracts are too healthy, and it only makes them weak, without damaging their nerves and brains.

More importantly, they can create value and benefit society through textiles. By focusing all their attention on textiles, they can also reduce social harm, which can definitely be called waste utilization.

Wu Chang took the Soul Spinning Shuttle away, and a line of prompts popped up in front of him.

"You have acquired a crown jewel of industry."

As the soul spinning shuttle was taken away, Wu Chang saw the steam in the high-end fabric workshop begin to spread outward.

His true self, who stayed in the West District, came outside, looked up at the sky, and found that the fog in the sky was even thicker.

He could clearly sense that the Steam Phantom Plane was further affected by the power of the root.

Just as he guessed, every time an extraordinary steam engine was discovered by players, the root power represented by steam would further erode the plane.

At this moment, all players in the dungeon felt their bodies becoming heavy, and the effects of the skills they used were significantly reduced.

Wu Chang felt the changes brought about by the rules of the plane. If another cyborg self-destructed now, with his space distortion that barely touched the threshold of the root power, he would not be able to break through the steam erupting when the cyborg self-destructed.

At this rate, if four or five more extraordinary steam engines are discovered, I'm afraid the copy plane will be filled with steam rules like a high-end fabric workshop.

At that time, ordinary players, and even players who have mastered the power of rules, will not be able to use extraordinary abilities beyond the steam rules.

From the perspective of the strategy copy, players should stop looking for the Extraordinary Steam Engine at this moment.

But the problem is that the second main mission of Steam Phantom is to obtain at least one jewel in the crown of industry, that is, to obtain an extraordinary steam engine.

If you want to complete the main quest, the difficulty of the plane will definitely increase.

What's more troublesome is that only by participating in the acquisition of the extraordinary steam engine can you complete the second main task, which makes it difficult to share this information with other players.

Imagine if someone told other players, "Don't ever get the Extraordinary Steam Engine, because it will cause the plane to be affected by the root power and increase the difficulty of the dungeon."

There will definitely be people who say, “Really? I don’t believe it.”

In order to make others believe, I can only say: "It's true, I have found the extraordinary steam engine, and the plane has indeed been affected enough."

What will the players think now that things have come to this point?
A: I see. In order not to increase the difficulty of the dungeon, I should stop.

B: Now that you have completed the main quest, you don't want others to complete it, right?

C: I see. The later you start the second main mission, the more difficult it will be. You have to start it as early as possible.

If it was a few years ago, option D would be a blunt angle, but now, option D would be "I joined the Steam Council, so don't believe me."

If the information is made public, not only will other players most likely not take it seriously, but it will also cause them to be hostile to the player who has completed the second main mission.

And more importantly, Wu Chang himself has no intention of stopping.

If he guessed correctly, the steam source power of the Steam Phantom Plane is essentially mechanical power. As long as mechanical or technological abilities are used, they will not be affected by the source power.

Just like in St. George's Square, the motorcycle that Booker summoned was able to be used freely without failing in the steam.

Coincidentally, Wu Chang's personal space also contained a big treasure filled with He Yun's love.

In a sense, he wanted the steam source power to fill the copy plane more quickly than the players of the Steam Council.

Wu Chang put the soul spinning shuttle back into his personal space, got off the soul loom, and walked towards Raventon.

Looking at the Soul Loom in front of him, Ravington asked, "Is it the one that caused the weavers to work themselves to death?"

Wu Chang threw the Soul Spindle to Raventon and said, "It's this little thing."

When passing by two bodyguards who had swallowed bullets, the body of one of the bodyguards twitched, attracting Wu Chang's attention.

He looked back and saw the bodyguard's eyes were wide open with resentment in them.

It's so unlucky to commit suicide with your eyes open.

Oh, wait, why is there resentment in him?
