Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

The teammates were discussing the rewards for completing the game. There were no purple drops in the extremely difficult level, but the drop rate of general skill books was not low. There were only three unlucky guys present who did not get any skill books.

Lin Bo checked the dropped items in his backpack.

Gunlance Close Combat is a set of close-quarters combat techniques, combined with firearms, designed to suppress and destroy the enemy. Ranged classes might appreciate it, but he himself has no use for it.

The fragrant blood-clotting fruit is the main ingredient in creating a high-performance hemostatic gel, offering excellent hemostatic and antibacterial properties. The fruit that fell from the network was a pure, plump, fragrant, and uncontaminated by foreign genetic hybridization. Lin Bo planned to feed it to the fungal mat upon his return.

Marching Horn Crossbow (White)

Type: Engineering product

Weight: 0.6 kg

Description: A game prop designed by company employees. The foam arrow is safe and harmless. It emits a sharp chirping sound after hitting the target and can be used to attract the attention of out-of-control living plants.

Lin Bo originally thought that this was a powerful killing weapon, but in fact it was just a light crossbow made of plastic, and the soft bowstring could only shoot lightweight foam plastic.

This kind of equipment is probably prepared for players who need to sneak.

The last item dropped is a blue quality sepak takraw net gun. The overall shape is like a shoulder-mounted grenade launcher, and the ammunition is a living sepak takraw the size of a fist. After it is thrown and hits the target, the sepak takraw will pounce and bind the target tightly.

The blood-sucking vine balls in Garden No. 1 were originally designed to be ammunition for this equipment.

The battle was over, and it was time for the routine looting. The artificial greenhouse in Garden No. 4 had been destroyed, leaving the buildings covered in ice and snow. One could imagine how much fragile electronic equipment had been damaged.

Lin Bo searched the laboratory building. The situation was really bad. There was snow outside and ice inside. The computer screen was frozen on the desk like a frozen throne, and the computer case was no different from a freezer.

Fortunately, the computer room where the server array is stored is in a closed space, so the damage inside is very minor. In addition, due to the heat dissipation of the chips, the indoor temperature is dozens of degrees higher than outside, returning to above freezing point.

He took out the tablet storing the virus program from his bag, connected it to the server and uploaded it, then waited quietly for the program to crack the firewall and password lock.

On the tablet screen, an electronic rabbit wearing a pirate eyepatch grinned, and the progress bar advanced methodically.

During this free time, Lin Bo continued to compile local language dictionaries.

This time, the upgraded version of the virus created by [Picking Up Trash Makes Me Happy] finally lived up to expectations, conquering the server with unstoppable force. The files stored inside were mostly cargo flow information, detailed records of employee computer usage, and a small amount of laboratory data.

The independent network of Park No. 4 had collapsed, but when the virus program spread along the link to the server of the central control tower, it hit the firewall and was defeated shortly afterwards.

Lin Bo wrote down the error message as usual.

Having completed all planned tasks in the dungeon, he prepared to leave. His teammates planned to stay a little longer; some were helping the kid organize the text and reason through the plot, while others were helping the barbarians carry supplies. Their figures moved through the ruins, their labor melting the ice and snow.

Seeing this, Lin Bo also paused for a moment, opened some closed doors, melted some frozen ice, and used the mantra control technique for labor, which was a very common training method for him.

Return to Dongya Grottoes, send a message to netizens, and send over the tablet storing the virus.

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: I received the stuff, but it might be a little tricky. I'll log off first and come back when I get the result (waving)

[Lighthouse Operator]: (Waving)

Now that the desperate and purgatory difficulties of [Distant Star Botanical Garden] have been unlocked, Lin Bo plans to challenge the purgatory copy of the ten-man team tomorrow, hoping to get an affix.

Starting from the Desperate difficulty, [Botanical Garden] already has a boss monster appearing, and the Purgatory difficulty has two boss monsters. As the difficulty increases dramatically, the reward income also increases dramatically.

In Purgatory difficulty, a single clearance will drop 2000 disaster coins and 27000 general experience points. Gray, white, and blue quality drops will inevitably appear. The drop rate of general skill books is quite high, and there is a medium probability of purple quality drops and knowledge fragments.

The last team spot is hard to find. Players who have unlocked the Purgatory difficulty basically have their own teams, or they are lone wolf players who prefer to play alone.

Lin Bo posted a message in the public screen of the dungeon to recruit people.

[Lighthouse Guest]: A 10-player team with Purgatory difficulty, challenging affix dungeons. Currently one spot is missing. If you are interested, please add us as a friend.

After sparking heated discussions among online players, Lin Bo has yet to receive any friend requests. New players with ideas have not unlocked the Purgatory difficulty, and capable players do not want to quit the team.

He and his teammates sent messages every once in a while, and after dozens of recruitment messages, they finally recruited a lone wolf player.

[Zhi Zhong Shi]: Hello everyone, I am a level 6 warlock, good at long-range means, and can build small mechanical turrets to provide fire support.

Considering that the enemy types in [Distant Star Botanical Garden] are extremely unfriendly to melee players, the lone wolves who can unlock the Purgatory difficulty alone are mostly ranged units.

Everyone introduced themselves to their new teammates again, and then Lin Bo temporarily left the team channel.

In the afternoon, after finishing the computer class and the construction plan of the MSG workshop, it was already late.

The Fungus-speaking Seagull flew into the cave and muttered to the mage about its reconnaissance situation.

Lin Bo nodded. As he expected, Jinbei's tourists came to the lighthouse, but they did not seem to have good intentions.

The night watchman returned to the headland in the fading light.

On the sandy road leading to the lighthouse, the footprints of the townspeople overlapped, and there were also several deep wheel ruts.

From a distance, you can see the townspeople gathered outside the yard, confronting a group of outsiders.

There were nine outsiders in total, six of them were well-dressed young men and women, and the other three were dressed simply, carrying swords and whale oil pistols, and looked like gangster thugs.

Scarface from Shita Town stood expressionlessly in front of these people, his arms folded across his chest. Behind him were the local young and strong men, and further back were more locals, including the elderly, women and children, all staring at the outsiders without saying a word.

They guarded the lighthouse, undeterred by the names of nobles and wealthy businessmen, nor intimidated by the weapons of thugs.

One of the thugs drew the swift sword from his waist, took a stance, and pointed the tip of the sword at Scarface's throat. The cold light flashed, but it did not scare the countryman back a single step.

The lighthouse keeper came from afar.

The crowd in Stone Tower Town relaxed because of his appearance.

The night watchman ignored the outsider's call, walked through the crowd and returned to the lighthouse. After a while, a tall red-haired baboon walked out of the tower, brought out tables and chairs, put on glasses, and slowly walked through the crowd to the thug who was holding a sword to intimidate.

The baboon, who looked gentle, stretched out his hands and grabbed both ends of the swift sword. Amid the astonished shouts of the crowd, the hard and straight sword was easily twisted into a spring.

The thugs were so scared that they dropped their weapons and stepped back.

A carriage came galloping and stopped outside the lighthouse.

Viren Pearl jumped out of the car and walked in front of the group of people from Jinbei City with a stiff expression.

"I am the lord here. This land is under the jurisdiction of the Pearl family and protected by the miracles of the Five Gods. You can tell me what you want to do here now."

Chapter 149: Shocked, Seawater Explodes

The baboon rang the bell, and Viscount Willem Pearl pushed open the door and walked into the lighthouse.

He bowed at the table and insisted on explaining to Lin Bo in detail the identities and purposes of these visitors from Jinbei City.

These young people, the children of some nobles and wealthy merchants from Jinbei City, had come to Stone Tower Town to inquire about the mysterious healer. They had also visited the lighthouse around noon today, only to be pecked away by the resident seagulls.

So they felt humiliated and hurried back to Jinbei City to find three "professionals" to kill the hateful seagull and calm down.

Lin Bo smiled. No wonder he felt those people looked familiar. He had indeed seen their fleeing backs at noon.

It is not surprising that humans lose to seagulls, and it is even more normal that they cannot beat a super seagull that has undergone neuronal transformation and plasma engine implantation surgery.

Facing a high-speed flying target, it is difficult to hit it without the skills of a sharpshooter, and the seagulls will never be scared by the sound of gunfire, so these troublesome Jinbei people actually have no chance of winning.

In other words, they had arrived at an unfortunate time, just as the townspeople of Stone Tower Town were gathering at the Lighthouse. If they hadn't been stopped by the townspeople, they would probably have been pecked by birds.

"Miracle, how should we deal with these people next?" Viscount Pearl was fully confident that he could make these uninvited guests pay the price.

"Let them wait until sunset, I will meet them." Lin Bo rang the bell and called the next patient.

The Jinbei people hid in two cars, complaining in low voices.

The young ladies flapped their whalebone fans, while the men accused and laughed at each other, muttering that the gangsters were unprofessional. They looked so fierce, but even a group of country people were not afraid of them.

The gangsters also had something to say. The scarred sailor not only looked more ferocious than them, but was also a well-known swordsman in the dueling circles of Jinbei City. For someone to step forward and draw a rapier to challenge someone to a duel was already very courageous and worthy of their salary.

The topics of their conversation changed, but they always came back to this strange town and its peculiar lighthouse.

The people here are abnormal, the birds are abnormal, the buildings are abnormal, and it is even more bizarre that the strong animal like a red-haired savage can twist fine steel.

They waited until sunset and the townspeople dispersed one after another, but Scarface and the monastic militia were still guarding the gate of the yard. They stood in the dim night, like a few short trees planted by the wall, with their backs to the bright beam of light emitted from the top of the lighthouse, their faces hidden in the shadows.

The mayor, who arrived after hearing the news, came to the car, knocked on the window, and invited these wealthy visitors into the lighthouse.

The group rushed into the room filled with resentment and saw Viscount Willen Pearl sitting on a bench by the wall. The mayor also sat next to the door, and the night watchman was looking at them from the main seat behind the table.

So, the visitors suddenly realized that the real owner of this land was not the young and promising noble lord, nor the local officials, nor the group of armed young men.

Who is this lighthouse keeper?

Three thugs stood by the door, motionless. Four men in fancy clothes walked to the front. Two women leaned half of their bodies out from behind them, staring intently at the face of the night watchman.

"You seek the man who healed Kechen Ancher. Now you have found him. Visitors to the Lighthouse, let me get a good look at you. (EXPLETIVE) Come here."

The night watchman's tone was calm, but when he began to speak in a strange language that no one could understand, the group of Jinbei visitors suddenly felt their limbs move spontaneously, like a group of docile lambs, and came to the table and stood in a row for the lighthouse keeper to examine.

"What did you do?! Don't hurt me!"

"My father is a count! He's the director of the Jinbei Royal Mineral Resources Bureau! I demand that you let me go immediately!"

"This place is crazy, I want to go home!"

Lin Bo let them scream and shout, he just quietly observed the group's reactions.

"(Expletive) I command you to find peace."

The uproar died down in an instant. The visitors' limbs stopped shaking, and their expressions returned to their natural serenity.

"Don't be afraid of me. I mean no harm to you. You pried into my lighthouse and tried to harm my seagulls out of ignorance and disrespect. But now that you are no longer proud, we can communicate."

Iron Guard brought sturdy wooden stools for the guests to sit on so they could look the night watchman at eye level.

Lin Bo asked them how they knew the mysterious doctor was in Stone Tower Town.

The noble children answered that they were entrusted by the eldest son of Duke Ancher. Because Duke Ancher did not allow them to go to Stone Tower Town, he appointed a trusted friend to inquire about the news.

Viscount Pearl cursed in a low voice: "You young idiot." This was a way for Kening to criticize the dandy boy.

Lin Bo wasn't surprised. "This day will come eventually. Your arrival is inevitable. Visitors to the Lighthouse, now that you've achieved your wish, please leave. When you return to Stone Tower with a fulfilled wish, perhaps we'll meet again. How will you greet me then?"

These outsiders, whose minds were calmed by the spell, stood up calmly, said goodbye to the night watchman, then said goodbye to Viscount Pearl and the mayor, and walked out of the lighthouse.

As they left the courtyard, they nodded and said hello to the young men from Shita Town who were guarding the area. The nine of them got into two cars, started the engines, and drove away from the cape in the night.

Even after the cars drove out of Stone Tower Town and the effects of the spell gradually dissipated, there was still a dead silence in the two cars. The passengers looked at each other and found that their companions' limbs were trembling and their cheeks were covered with cold sweat.

The night outside the car window was so deep, the stars and moon hidden behind thick clouds. The roof split the darkness, and the wheels rolled over the mud and weeds on the dirt road. The light of the distant lighthouse was like a white star in the rear window, flickering on and off.

"Are you still planning to come here?" someone asked hoarsely in the corner of the carriage.

No one answered. They were all as stiff as rock sculptures, and everyone's eyes reflected a trance-like glimmer.

"I'll come again." Until they could see the houses on the edge of Jinbei City, the person who asked the question spoke again and answered himself.

lighthouse.
