In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Chapter 173 The Return of Oistat

Lu Mingfei quickly summoned the Mirror of Eternity and began to study the card that had been placed inside.

This so-called "special function" has taken up a new interface on the internet; clicking on it reveals an entire metal world—

This is also a typical scene in the "casting world": the machines produce day after day, resulting not only in mountains of various materials, but also in pollution that is discharged into the air and water as waste.

The sky is no longer a clear, blue expanse, but its color constantly changes depending on the type of exhaust fumes. And the ocean—

The oceans were often drained when the foundry world was first built to provide a place for the factory and coolant for the machines.

Worse still, to provide manpower for the production machines, forge worlds often become hive worlds. The overly dense population is not qualified to compete with the machines for space; most of them will be workers tied to the assembly line, evaluated based on metrics such as "loss rate" and "production efficiency."

"Isn't this a bit too depressing?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frown.

Although he knew this card was derived from a field card and didn't have a true prototype like the previous empire—perhaps existing in the multiverse—at least this card didn't. However, Lu Mingfei was still somewhat uneasy about this: "Then what's the point of putting this card in the Mirror of Eternity?"

[Special Location: The World of Forging]

[Main Sectors: Casting, Machinery, Religion]

[Secondary Domains: Sin, Control, Production, Loyalty —]

[Site Function:]

Mechanical Production: Every calendar day, produce 1 Gray Broken-Blue Excellent Mechanical Unit. When you place a Mechanical Unit here, its produced Mechanical Units receive a bonus. Om Messiah Shrine: Every Forgeworld is a place where the Cult of Mechanics practices the Oracles of Om Messiah, and this place is no exception. Religious units placed here will receive the blessing of Om Messiah.

[Cureable]

"Hmm... a domain?"

I see, that explains it.

Lu Mingfei nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he had not yet delved deeply into the subject of theology and was not clear about what the concept of "domain" was, he could tell from the teacher's great emphasis on it in class that it was definitely not a simple thing. "So let's not study this now. Let me take a look at this solidification first. Okay, sorry to bother you."

Looking at the line on the webpage that read, "[Hold a specific ritual for the corresponding domain of this card to solidify it]", Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a wave of toothache.

Is this what a Planeswalker is all about? To be able to research such rituals at Iv2—for most people, this level of expertise is only attainable at the Legendary level.

"Sigh, never mind. Since we can't figure out this solidification issue, let's focus on other special functions. Let me take a look at this Om Messiah's Blessing."

Lu Mingfei ordered the [Ironwing Fire Dragon] to enter the Eternal Mirror leading to the world of forging, and then observe it through the integrated network interface.

The Ironwing Fire Dragons adapted to this world very quickly. Their advanced physical modifications and technological capabilities allowed them to rapidly gain a voice in the world, and the powerful and wealthy even built a tall tower specifically for them to live in.

Compared to simply enjoying the experience, it's clear they prefer the feeling of interacting with technology.

They frequently visited the research labs of the Mechanicus, ordering the bishops to research one technology after another and equip them on their bodies. This frequent modification was also reflected in their cards themselves; Lu Mingfei could see that a new characteristic was forming:

[Om Messiah's Blessing: Through unwavering prayer and steadfast practice, this unit has gained the attention of Om Messiah.]

Although it's unclear what this feature means, it's likely an improvement.

Well, if this Ironwing Dragon can get an upgrade, there's no reason why the other spirit cards can't too.

Lu Mingfei then rummaged through his card wallet again and pulled out a card: "Unfortunately, he's still in another world—hmm?"

What's going on? Speak of the devil and he appears?

Lu Mingfei was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand to summon.

"Haha, I'm back!"

Istadt leaped from the air, his body now bearing many more scars, and his physique even more robust. The most significant change was in the machines surrounding him—

When they left, they were just simple drones, but this time when they returned, they had all been repainted and modified.

White, blue, gold, pink—some have become slender, some short and stout; some hold long guns, some hold cannons, but without exception, they all look very imposing.

"Them? They're the guys I defeated."

When asked about his experiences in another world, Istaton didn't hide anything—

Or rather, he was very happy to tell others about his experiences in the other world, so Lu Mingfei only needed to ask to hear the whole picture of the other world from him: "That world is a world dominated by shrimps like you, but those shrimps are very powerful: they don't have claws or power of their own, but they can create very large ancient behemoths, like this."

Istard grabbed a short, stout green drone with a cannon in its hand and showed it to Lu Mingfei: "This is something I recast from materials I cut off after defeating them. It looks exactly like the originals—just smaller."

"When I first saw it, it was sixty meters tall—but not as tall as the giant junk I built later. By the time I dominated that world, the giant junk I built were all a hundred meters tall!"

"Not to mention those even more awesome monsters like the Gorilla King Kong and the Iron Giant, you didn't see what I created at the end—a battle moon!"

"I didn't want to come back so soon. Those guys said there were experts outside of Earth who I could fight to my heart's content with. But I drove my combat moon around the starry sky several times and didn't find any, so I came back."

Lu Mingfei nodded and placed the short, green drone next to Ansite's body. The drone then floated up and began to move erratically around Ansite: "So, according to you, those humans are actually very weak? So there are other opponents there?" Lu Mingfei asked, casually grabbing another drone.

This time it's a platinum-colored drone, with a slender gun barrel connected to a drill-like gun head, looking quite imposing—but not really suitable for combat.

"There are indeed other opponents—but those humans are also very good opponents, and it's very exciting to fight them, otherwise I wouldn't have brought them with me."
