Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

Duke Ancher shuddered when he heard this, looked up and saw the night watchman walking away, and hurriedly got back into the wheelchair with the help of the butler, rolled through the low door of the courtyard, and came to the operating room on the first floor of the lighthouse.

Here, the lighthouse keeper had put on a three-eyed skull mask, and was staring at Duke Ancher with trembling lips with his two empty eye sockets and the spherical glass eyes on his forehead.

"(Mantra) I command your body to be clean, and the air here to be clean."

A faint miraculous wind blew away the dust and microorganisms in the operating room, cleansing their bodies.

Lin Bo held Duke Anche's shoulders, manipulated his bones, pulled his entire body into the air, and made him lie prone on the operating table. He lifted his collar and exposed the back of his neck.

"From now on, you are no longer an ordinary person, Kechen Ancher. You will find that your reactions are much faster than before, and you will need to consume some metal powder regularly."

"My Lord of Miracles, thank you for your great gifts and grace...hiss!" Kechen Ancher was murmuring with tears in his eyes, when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a cut had been made, and then boiling magma poured into his bone marrow, causing soreness, numbness and pain. His limbs felt as if they were electrified, and his internal organs seemed to be tightened by a fishing net.

He clenched his teeth, as if enduring the phantom pain all over his body when he was paralyzed.

The scorching magma spreading from the back of the neck continued to spread, penetrating the entire spine, and then spreading to the motor nerves throughout the body.

Due to the severe discomfort, his weak body fell into a protective faint for a short time.

Duke Ancher's consciousness fluctuated between coma and wakefulness, and he kept whispering prayers, like a dream talk.

Lin Bo listened a little and realized that what he was saying was "The Five Miracles... I offer you my body and soul."

He shook his head and smiled, then softly chanted a tranquilizing mantra to calm the patient.

It is best not to use anesthesia for neuronal implantation, as this allows the body's cells and hyphae to fuse more thoroughly, and also allows the brain to better adapt to the upgraded accessories. This is the experience he summed up from performing surgery on Seagull.

After a while, Lin Bo recited the real name of the skin, sutured the wound on the back of the neck, and then applied a small amount of high-function hemostatic gel.

Sweat made Duke Ancher's hair limp and stick to his scalp. He slowly supported his upper body with his arms, and his new nervous system sent back a solid and sensitive feeling.

His weak muscles seemed to become strong enough to move his bones. He tentatively got off the bed and stood straight without trembling at all.

"My Lord." Kechen Anche frowned, tears welled up in his eyes, and his features curled up as if he was about to cry, but the corners of his mouth raised, "I have become a normal person again."

Lin Bo waited patiently for the patient in front of him to calm down. Duke Anche wiped his eyes five times and apologized repeatedly until he completely calmed down.

"I'm also happy about your recovery. Kechen Anche, you will have more to do from now on. Meet with the nobles and officials of Jinbei City and tell them that you are fully recovered. Become a beast of power and cooperate with the Tower Guard Order's actions. I need you to quickly integrate Jinbei City's resources, expand the influence of the food company, and build a pharmaceutical company and a mechanical workshop."

Due to poor transportation, the rulers of the ancient Sail Islands divided the islands among their followers. The great lords of each island owned the land, could issue decrees, raise armies, appoint and dismiss officials, and enfeoff local nobles.

Today, the great lords of the islands have been replaced by governors. They no longer have the power to appoint and dismiss officials, to confer fiefs on nobles, or to own private armies. However, they can still implement local policies, which are enough to affect the economic prosperity and decline of an island and the political situation.

Duke Ancher explains to the Night Watch the three major interest groups in the ruling class of Jinbei City.

The courts, composed of aristocratic groups, owed allegiance to the source of their power, the imperial emperor.

The parliament, composed of representatives of the nobility and taxpayers, with a majority of seats held by merchants, tended to uphold the governor's decisions.

Faced with the complex network of local forces, the city officials assigned and appointed by the imperial center chose to play both sides and wavered between the royal family and the governor.

In addition, there is the Poor Relief Society established by the Five Gods Sect, which has the function of collecting poor relief taxes and distributing relief. They are not inclined towards the central government or the local areas, and maintain a delicate neutrality.

"Do what you can. If you need allies, guide them to Stone Tower Town," Lin Bo encouraged softly. "From top to bottom, I need a united city. From the courts, parliament, city hall, churches, to newspapers, companies, labor unions, police, prisons, the military, and even the gangs, integrate their strength and resources."

Kechen Ancher nodded deeply. "All people should worship our Lord, for you are the true salvation. May your grace spread from where the sun rises to where it sets. I will spare no effort."

"You are leaving. Don't be afraid, but take care. Come to the lighthouse often."

Duke Ancher knelt lightly, then stood up and walked out the door with strong arms and legs. The old housekeeper in the yard came forward to help him up in surprise, but he just smiled and refused, even easily carrying the wheelchair on his shoulders.

"In the past, I sat on you, but today, I will let you sit on me." He laughed, put away his old habits, and left the cape.

The old butler looked at the Duke who was striding forward, then looked back at the white lighthouse behind him. He trembled his lips, knelt down in worship in front of the door, then quickly stood up and chased after his employer who had been with him for many years.

Afternoon, East Cliff Grottoes.

After completing the [Sea Spirit Altar] map run, Lin Bo began to form a new team.

Netizen [Picking up trash makes me happy] has sent the third version of the virus program. Today is the day to check the results. Whether we can search for scientific and technological information in the copy depends on whether this virus can break through the firewall of the central control tower.

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: (dark circles) (dark circles) You have to believe me, boy

[Lighthouse Guest]: Even if I fail, it’s just one more trip.

[Picking up trash]: It seems you still don’t believe me, hum, wait and see, this time it will definitely work

Lin Bo put away his tablet, made preparations for the battle, and sent invitations to his teammates.

[Network Tip: Player [Lighthouse Guest] invites you to join the dungeon campaign [Out-of-Control Botanical Garden on a Distant Star] (Purgatory Level)]

The space-time channel opened, and I took a step inside and arrived at the familiar entrance of Garden No. 1.

[Current number of players in the dungeon: 10]

[Affected by the fluctuations of time and space, the copy has undergone unknown changes...]

[Detecting mutation information, obtaining the prompt affix - Nightmare Invasion]

Chapter 153 Ignite the Earth, Nightmare Threat

The newest member of the ten-man team, [Zhi Zhong Shi], was the first player to emerge from the teleportation tunnel. When the other teammates saw him, they all raised their hands and greeted him. Everyone chatted briefly in the team chat, recognizing each other's faces.

This new teammate was a thin young human male, wearing a thin black tactical spacesuit and a protective helmet with a transparent glass front. He held a spherical gyroscope in his hand, and brass-like clock hands kept spinning in his pupils, a sign that he was influenced by the power of cosmic order.

He is clearly a chronomancer.

The new teammate's means of transportation is an eight-legged steel spider self-propelled robot with an open-air cockpit on the back and a black imitation leather sofa chair that looks very comfortable.

[Zhi Shi Zhong]: Hello everyone, I am willing to serve you.

[Gun Bullet]: Brother, your mechanical design is really tasteful, but your tone of voice is too formal.

[Swift Shadow Beast]: Brother Magic Cannon, you don't understand. This is called having style. Actually, I have style too. As the captain of the royal guard, I usually speak with an accent. It's just to fit in that I have to pretend to be cheerful and easygoing.

His teammates didn't believe that this dark-fearing Echo Knight was some royal guard, and they all started to joke and laugh.

Lin Bo checked the information board on the Zongwang website and confirmed the prompt affix for the time and space anomaly in this instance. [Nightmare Invasion] was not unfamiliar to him, as he had encountered it when he was playing [Sea Spirit Altar].

With this affix, the dungeon space will periodically encounter invasions from the nightmare level, randomly placing nightmare monsters near the player or generating trap terrain.

Nightmare monsters will be randomly generated according to the dungeon environment. They may be a group of strengthened soldiers, or strengthened elite monsters, or even mutated leader monsters, or they may be resurrected corpses that can be found everywhere in the environment.

This nightmare monster's weakness is its vulnerability to light damage. It's not very resistant to fire and lightning, but it's quite resilient to cold, acid, and thunder damage. Furthermore, it has no vital parts and will simply dissipate due to severe injuries.

As time goes by, the intervals between nightmare invasions will become shorter and shorter, and the enemies released will become stronger and stronger. If you fail to clear the dungeon quickly, you will be trapped in an endless wave.

After Lin Bo explained the situation in the team channel, his teammates looked worried. Except for [Zhi Zhong Shi], this was the first time for all of them to challenge the affix copy.

The Chronomechanic folded his arms and sighed deeply beneath his helmet.

[Knowing the Clock]: I once ran a Mutation Affix map with my teammates in another dungeon. The "Resurrection Surge" spawned, where monsters resurrected as undead after death. After clearing the dungeon, only half of the team remained. "Nightmare Invasion" is obviously more difficult, so please be prepared to die.

There was silence in the channel.

Lin Bo looked around at everyone, and everyone focused their attention on the magician, comforted by his calm demeanor.

[Lighthouse Guest]: This affix is ​​a bit risky, but it has a 6x return. Don't worry, I will help you through it.

[Gun Bullet]: I say there is nothing to be afraid of. If we really can't beat them, we can use some evil and dirty tricks.

The mage spoke briefly, but everyone's spirits were lifted. The cannoneer's words also gave his teammates, who had been lost in thought, a sudden burst of enlightenment.

[Astrology Fan]: Indeed, if you don't consider brushing up your actual combat proficiency, you only need to pay enough props and equipment resources to pass the level.

[Desolate Spin]: Hehe, we must win

Everyone prepared their weapons and called for helpers and reinforcements, including Master Song the White Gorilla, the self-propelled turret of the Mage Artilleryman, and the twelve self-propelled robots that the Time Mechanic took out of his backpack. They were shaped like light machine guns with spider legs.

Melee units unceremoniously drew their guns and cannons, each armed with a blue-quality "Detonator" jet flamer. Even the child and the female dwarf slung their flamethrowers on their shoulders. The weapons were longer than their height, and paired with their serious expressions, the image was quite humorous.

At the current difficulty level, Garden No. 1 has become a sea of ​​vampire vines. They not only wander on the ground and lie in ambush in the soil, but they also disguise themselves as ordinary plants, hanging on the walls and hanging from streetlights. All seemingly harmless environmental elements become dangerous.

[Lighthouse Operator]: There is no time to distinguish them one by one, that would take too much time. You start to light the fire, and I will open an escape route for you later.

Lin Bo put on the appearance of a wizard, pointed his sword with one hand, and flew into the air.

His teammates didn't quite understand his command at first, until the Tiefling Warlock smiled in understanding, picked up the flamethrower and fired a high-temperature plasma jet onto the lawn.

Orange rays surged out, licking the long grass, drying out the moisture in just half a second and leaving a burning trail.

Looking down at the earth, Lin Bo whispered his real name.

"(Mantra) Fire."

The fire snake on the lush green ground suddenly moved, twisting its body continuously, covering more vegetation, turning the grass and trees along the way into fuel, and its scorching body continued to expand.

The teammates followed suit and started to light fires everywhere. Swelling fire snakes swarmed across the ground, connecting together to form a terrifying and majestic wall, emitting heat waves that made people sweat profusely.

The ten-foot-high long wall of fire was like a group of snakes converging, with countless snake mouths pouncing forward and biting, like waves hitting the shore. The entire wall of fire moved a distance, leaving behind a scorched and black earth.

All the blood-sucking vine balls along the way, whether in a latent or wandering state, were not spared. They struggled and twisted in the flames until they died.

The wall of fire devoured all the green grass and slowly swallowed up the buildings. The metal street lamps melted like candles, and the doors and windows of the houses spewed flames. There were horrible explosions everywhere, and thick smoke rose into the sky and gathered under the glass dome, forming a lead-gray cloud.

Breathable air dwindled, and all living things met their doom. The elite monster leaped through the bushes in an attempt to escape, only to be swallowed by the surging flames. After struggling for a moment, it fell silent.

There was a burst of screams in the team channel.

[Swift Shadow Beast]: Master, it’s so hot! It’s so hot!

[Gun Bullet to Take Soul]: Brother Mage, please think of a solution quickly, we have no way out!

As players set fires everywhere, Park No. 1 was completely engulfed in flames. The high-temperature, toxic atmosphere continued to spread, and there was no safe place to stay in any direction.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Knight's 12 o'clock direction, everyone go full speed ahead

Echo Knight looked up and saw a scorched earth, ravaged by wildfires, directly ahead of him. It was a dead end. He gritted his teeth, mounted his warhorse, and tapped the horse's belly to urge him forward.

The war horses were terrified and stopped moving, and the other animal mounts were also afraid of the fire.

"Ga!" A white bird circled in the air and chirped. It swooped down like a feather arrow and rushed into the sea of ​​fire first.

The blazing wall of flames parted before it, and the bird's wings shone brilliantly, without a single spark on them, as it waded through a safe path.

"Charge!" Echo Knight lashed his horse's rump with his scabbard, and the warhorse neighed and trotted, following the seagull's wake. Wargs and cheetahs activated their lightning bolts, while white musk deer and ponies, unwilling to be outdone, also gave chase. Motorcycles roared, wheels whirring as white gorillas strode forward, dragging their turrets. The chronomancer's mechanical spiders stretched their long legs, and small self-propelled cannons darted between their iron feet like spiderlings.

The group quickly passed through the burning Garden No. 1 and entered the glass corridor. When the mage came, the female orc hurriedly pushed the gate and closed the door.

Each of them was a bit dusty and covered in a smudge of black ash. The experience of escaping the fire in just a few minutes was quite hazy. Looking back, the glass dome of Park No. 1 was illuminated with the orange-red of the setting sun. A fire in such an enclosed space would devour all living things, so there was no need to worry about any monsters escaping.

The sound of explosions continued to come from behind the door. The group had already passed through the corridor filled with explosive airbag fruits and arrived at the entrance of Garden No. 2.

[Gun Bullet Soul Stealer]: I didn't expect a speedrun like this. But Garden 2 is all wetlands, so this trick won't work for me, right?

Lin Bo took a whale oil potion and a vitality decoction.
