What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 271. The Factory in the Bubble, Starlight Vine

Fairy Lake.

Miya, who was lying in her little treehouse, suddenly sensed something and silently looked into the distance.

"You succeeded after all, lucky friend."

After He finished speaking, an image was reflected in His eyes—

A section of the colossal Sky Ark gradually dimmed, as if it had gone offline.

Although the core of the Sky Ark's intelligence is Him, namely the Ring of Radiance, the soul of His creator is present in other areas.

The Creator was so great that His soul was practically immortal in the astral plane. Only His soul sustained the Ark, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

After the ark crashed, it was as if His soul was split into countless pieces, forever trapped in a small space, enduring a long wait.

He once wanted to use his remaining power to influence reality to help the Creator find liberation, but the Creator refused and even severed His connection with the Ark fragments.

So much so that He had no idea where the fragments of the Ark might end up, and He never expected that Kroa would actually find one.

It actually helped the creator find liberation.

I'm so happy for you.

Miya smiled and said, "This responsibility and obligation has lasted for far too long. When I was created and built, my mission was to provide an eternal paradise for life."

At the time, we all firmly believed that it truly was paradise.

A paradise that will exist forever in the boundless star realm.

But now, I'm going to tell you...

He stood up and waved into the distance: "May you cross the illusory paradise, end this mission, and end the endless waiting."

"Just like the first words you said to me when you created me, I can now finally answer you."

Goodbye, Miya, my creator... Goodnight.

It seemed as if a gentle breeze and magic circled around Him, then entered the vast night sky and gradually disappeared into the magnificent night sky adorned with stars.

The dimness on the Sky Ark had completely turned black, so glaring against the holy and beautiful ark, yet so special, so lucky.

Having bid farewell to a portion of its creator's soul, the angel... no, the Ring of Radiance, silently sat down, staring blankly outside—

Outside, the Gopherwood spirits were roughly planting Gopherwood seedlings directly into the ground, while Sunflower Spirits, Lotus Spirits, and other spirits watched the spectacle.

The elves seemed quite happy, jumping and skipping around.

This is why the Gopherwood Elves can do this. If anyone else dared to plant them so roughly, the Gopherwood seedlings would surely die in front of them.

He watched quietly for a long time, a smile on his face. The artificial soul belonging to the Sky Ark was not thinking about anything, which was simply impossible for him.

In the distant past, the core of the Sky Ark had to calculate an unimaginable amount of data every day, but now it is getting more and more used to spacing out, and doesn't even need to calculate anything at all.

He seemed to understand why Kroya was lying on the sofa at the top of the mage tower, lost in thought. The feeling of not having to do anything and just lying there was truly wonderful.

About half an hour later, He finally perked up and happily went to have a barbecue with the elves waiting outside.

The world is so big, and He no longer has to watch from inside the ark; He can finally do what He wants to do.

……

the other side.

Kroya looked at the bubbles in front of her and said helplessly:

"You don't need to work so hard."

"This is my compensation to you. Don't you like bubbles? These are probably the most unique bubbles in the world."

Even with his imprint, drawing upon the power of the Void Ark from its fragments wouldn't be an easy task, yet he created a bubble so quickly...

I really don't know how much perseverance it took to create the coral.

"It's precisely because it's unique that I want to share it with you."

The air coral shook itself: "You should go in and see. This bubble is the most perfect one I've ever made. I'm sharing it with you, but anyone else who goes in must be to my satisfaction!"

"Okay, thank you."

Its attitude was resolute. Kloa shook her head with a complicated expression and placed her finger on the bubble.

The next second, he entered the inside of the bubble.

Only when he stepped inside did he truly grasp the meaning of "the most perfect bubble".

Judging by appearance, this area is about ten hectares in size.

The ground was platinum white and gold, and it felt extremely hard underfoot, like standing on solid metal.

The distance is bright, and the entire bubble space is illuminated by a bright glow, so it doesn't feel dark at all.

Meanwhile, the temperature and humidity here are maintained at a stable, almost constant level, and the air is fresh, so you won't feel stuffy at all.

In every respect, this is simply a perfect space. If you built a house here, you could move in right away.

"This is indeed a good place to build a factory."

After carefully surveying the area, Kroya decided to build the factory there.

Not only will the prepared potion and metal processing plant be located here, but the space factory inside the Clockwork Golem will also be placed here.

The stable spatial readings here are extremely rare, making it perfect for a space magic factory that requires a stable spatial structure.

He immediately began to plan the blueprint.

The [Gear and Clockwork Magic Metal All-Purpose Processing Plant] and the [Crystal Blending Potion Plant] purchased from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild are both stored in the form of crystal plates.

Kroya simply needs to press the button on the crystal plate to create a blueprint of lines, which then surveys and adjusts itself to adapt to the surrounding environment and geological structure.

So theoretically, this thing can be placed anywhere; you won't have to search repeatedly for a suitable location to build it.

"That's really amazing."

"I suddenly feel like I got my money's worth for those hundreds of thousands of magic crystals."

After reading the introduction, he was amazed. Even the current Mage Council probably didn't have this thing. No wonder the Holy Spring Merchant Guild could span so many planes.

This level of technical expertise is truly enviable and impressive.

After fully understanding how to use it, he reached out and pressed the small button on the stone slab.

The next second, the stone slab unfolded like a book.

Countless deep blue lines burst forth from the palm-sized crystal book pages, beginning to form the prototype of a factory best suited to the surrounding environment and geographical structure.

Kroya stared at the fluttering lines, feeling a sense of déjà vu. It took her a few seconds to realize what was happening...

"Isn't this exactly how the teleportation array to the floating island is constructed?"

"Could it be a collaboration between the Mage Association and the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce?"

He thought it was quite possible, after all, the Holy Spring Merchant Guild was willing to sell the Star Council's meditation method, it would be hard to believe they didn't have some kind of close relationship.

As he pondered, the azure silk threads gradually unfolded, marking the locations where magic blast furnaces, magic separation devices, valves, and other components were needed.

It also comes with matching magic runes, such as magic transmission runes, magic control runes, intelligent quantity processing runes, and magic rune identification runes...

The variety of magical runes was dazzling, some of which were even structures never seen before.

It was very inspiring for him.

Honestly, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that spending hundreds of thousands of magic crystals was well worth it. You know, these magic runes can be used not only in this factory, but also in other places.

Of course, these are all bundled together, and it would be quite troublesome to adapt them for use outside.

Kroya immediately began to record in detail and devise what to use to replace certain parts. The choices given by the Holy Spring Merchant Guild were indeed good, and he should be able to create them himself.

However, he preferred to use magical beasts or magical plants instead of the parts.

In his hands, the abilities of magical beasts and magical plants are definitely no less than those of some so-called spare parts. As for the issue of rest... they can take turns.

The factory next door just has rotating shifts.

Since he can imprint at any time, magical plants and magical beasts with special abilities that are rare to the outside world are just "workers" that can be seen everywhere to him.

If magical plants or magical beasts are used to replace some key positions, there may be a qualitative leap in purity and uniqueness.

After all, there's always a subtle difference between machine-made potions and those made entirely by hand.

It is precisely this subtle difference and uniqueness that people highly admire, especially the elves, those pretentious races who love things like "all-natural" and "handmade".

They say that products made by magical machinery have no "soul".

Cloa declined to comment on this.

If it's made with extremely precise machinery, it should theoretically be flawless down to the last detail. While it's not quite that special, it's still guaranteed to be of high quality.

Perhaps the fussy elves, nobles, and magicians prefer handmade items, but machine-made items are more numerous and more suitable for mass production and sale.

Therefore, he plans to operate the different production lines in different ways—divided into manual production involving magical plants and beasts and apprentices, and intelligent production completely controlled by the mage tower.

Since we have the means, we might as well adjust it ourselves.

……

After spending some time, Kroya rubbed his throbbing temples. Memorizing the entire factory's magic runes and mechanical structure using only his brain was still a bit difficult for him.

Not to mention, he also had to think about what kind of magic to use to modify what kind of magical plants to adapt to what kind of structure and location, all of which made his brain work at lightning speed.

He felt he was really overwhelmed, so he decided to take a break, check out the factory inside the Clockwork Golem, and then move the transmission network of the Woody Vine in.

He took out the clockwork golem that he had been keeping in his pocket and found that there was a small portal on the golem's chest.

Using the Astral Imprint technique, it can be seen that the internal structure of the Clockwork Golem has changed. The core of the golem has become significantly stronger and is supplying energy to the portal.

Furthermore, Kroa could even see the complex spatial stabilization runes behind the portals in the Protoss, though their precision was far inferior to that of the Ark, it was still quite impressive.

He happily accepted all of these gains.

Well, I bet even the people at the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce couldn't have imagined that someone could bypass the security measures they had painstakingly set up and directly see the core of the golem.

After examining the magic runes, Kroya instructed, "Open the door."

The clock golem immediately fell to the ground, its body beginning to deform, like some deformed cars I'd seen before, and soon it transformed into a portal about the height of a person.

The door was made of a highly ductile metal, and its surface bore the emblem of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild. When he pushed the door open and went inside, he found himself in a tiny factory, roughly the size of a basketball court.

Gears, all kinds of gears, operate inside metal levers or machines, each gear being completely different in size.

The only sound in the factory was the "whooshing" of gears turning, giving it a cold and hard feel.

This is a fully automated factory.

According to the instructions, as long as you put materials containing spatial properties at the entrance, you can directly create a small spatial magic device.

The entire factory can only produce small portable space magic devices with an internal space of ten cubic meters, and the design can be customized.

"That's really amazing. The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce actually gave me a factory like this. Could it be because of the Holy Spring of Solon?"

After looking around, Kroya took out a few Radiant Crystal chips, went to the control panel, set the shape of the magic device to a pocket, and then threw in some for making threads.

"Please put in the ingredients."

As he tossed everything in, the gears spun faster, the "whooshing" sound grew louder, and the crystal and cloth seemed to be being processed and manufactured—

"It's currently in production."

"The processing time is expected to be ten minutes."

About ten minutes later, a semi-circular pouch with finely distributed crystals on its surface was created.

Kroya looked at the diamond-encrusted pocket with a complicated expression, silently reaching inside to explore, and discovered that there really was ten cubic meters of space inside.

Despite its unusually simple design, this thing even has a lock that locks your mental energy!

If the mental strength is not compatible, the space cannot be opened.

"That's really good."

His eyes lit up. He could easily make hundreds of magic crystals just by selling this thing, right? The Holy Spring Merchant Guild actually gave him such a lucrative factory production line?

He couldn't believe that the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce would be so generous, so he carefully checked again to see if there were any hidden "pay-to-win" items.

For example, you need to obtain the Holy Spring Merchant Guild's key after producing a certain quantity, or there's a shortage of some essential energy source here...

And surprisingly, there really weren't any!

Although the number of magic crystals consumed by the Clock Golem has increased significantly, these are all necessities for starting the production line and cannot be considered as pay-to-win items.

Compared to the profit of several hundred magic crystals from a finished product, this amount of magic crystal consumption is negligible.

The Holy Spring Merchant's sudden generosity made Kroya suspicious, but in the end she accepted the fact.

As long as there's money to be made, that's all that matters!

Let's make the money first, and worry about the rest later!

After testing the capabilities of the Space Magic Factory, he left the factory, exited the bubble, and summoned all of the Woody Vine.

He now needs to modify the Wood Curved Vine to ensure that its throughput and transmission speed are sufficient.

The magic previously imprinted on the Woody Vine King was obtained from the Orpheus Oak Tree and was called "Isis Array" and "Spatial Teleportation Array".

Theoretically speaking, magic involves transferring objects within a small space, such as a home, treehouse, or boat.

It could be said that the magic relied almost entirely on the physical qualities of these Woody Vines that had been growing inside the mage tower for an unknown period of time to complete the inscription.

The same is true now. If it weren't for the truly powerful physical abilities of the Woody Vine, they would have already been overwhelmed and gone on strike on the spot.

Now, Kroya is going to imprint them with a special technology from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild called "Starlight Transmission Space Runes".

The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce has already gifted him ten cans of "Space Starlight." This material, called Space Starlight, can minimize the impact of fluctuations caused by spatial transmission on the stability of the equipment.

In other words, if Kroya wants to make modifications to the Woody Vine, she needs to embed spatial starlight inside it and then use the spatial starlight as a carrier to imprint it.

Even more critically, according to his calculations, his Woody Wings transportation system, which now covers almost half of the Northern Territory, can no longer be measured simply by its length.

Separate entrances and exits for each area, transit stations...

If you want to imprint all of them at once, you need at least several hundred cans of space starlight, and one can of such space starlight costs a thousand magic crystals—and that's a discounted price.

So he had no choice but to modify the wooden vines needed in the factory area first, and then deal with the rest after further research.

Fortunately, he had already imprinted the Isis Array beforehand. That kind of magic can make the Woody Vine elemental, which means it can absorb elemental magic power. Starlight is of course also a kind of magic power.

He poured all ten cans of starlight into the Woody Vine, waiting for them to transform into starlight form before beginning the arduous process of inscription.

When he was engraving, he was really glad that the Star Spirit Body Engraving Technique had been upgraded. He only needed to cover it with his mental energy to engrave it. If he had to search for it piece by piece, it would have been extremely troublesome.

While inscribing the marks, he also left enough magic runes for the entrances and exits, and his mental energy covered the factory area all night.

It was extremely tiring, but also fulfilling. Watching the magical plants gradually transform under my care felt really good.

The engraving process took a whole night.

He finally managed to finish carving the inscription, barely managing, as dawn broke the following day.

【Wooden Curved Vine (Isis Array - Starlight Transmission Magic Rune)】

The structure of this magical plant will change.

This magical plant will form a complete spatial transmission system, with entrances and exits set up using the structure of its fruit.

This magical plant will be permanently structured as a starlight structure.

If the starlight structure is damaged, the current imprint will most likely fail and be irreversible!

"An exclamation mark, looks like it's really quite serious. Let's see what you're capable of." Kroya calmed his magic.

After the engraving was completed, he saw that the wooden vine in front of him had undergone a huge change. Originally, it only had clear starlight shimmering inside, but now the whole thing had turned into a beam of starlight.

Starlight can even bypass some walls, soil, and water flow, passing directly through them.

From a distance, the wooden vines that were originally scattered everywhere have transformed into starlight vines, shimmering on the seabed like a galaxy.

He was even more surprised after testing the transmission speed; the goods were received on the other side almost immediately after being put in, without even a 0.01-second delay.

It should be noted that even if the Woody Curved Vine could transmit data in the past, there was still a delay. Now, it can transmit data directly without any delay.

Even if the time saved is only a few seconds, the speed and efficiency will be significantly improved.

He was extremely satisfied with his engraving this time.

But he was shocked when he glanced at the time.

"It's already eight o'clock??"

He left quickly.

There was simply no time to arrange things carefully, so I had to leave it to the tower spirit to coordinate, as he had to attend the apprentices' group wedding!

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
