Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

Throwing axes, bullets, and grenades flew past in a dense swarm, turning into a hot and deadly iron curtain.

The Lost Tree Hunter raised its legs and fired bullets towards the player. Dense high-pressure air spurted out from the honeycomb holes all over the soles of its feet, forming a diffuse conical shock wave that blew away the projectiles and pushed its body backward rapidly.

It adjusted its posture in the air, accelerated with several jets, turned its body in the air, and bounced between the walls and beams of the hall like a projectile. Every time its legs flexed and extended, air was injected again, and the electric light surrounding its body became stronger and stronger.

The whale fire ring shot out, chasing the jumping leader monster.

There was a dark green lightning in front, and two frosty white cold lightnings behind. The three were chasing each other at high speed and colliding with each other one after another.

Unlike the Lost Tree Hunter who loses speed every time he turns, the circle controlled by the Flow Control Technique will only continue to accelerate until it hits the target, pouring out all its strength.

After its body was chopped into pieces by the rings, the Lost Tree-Sinya finally stopped trying to escape. It took the attacks from the two rings head-on, stuck them in its body, and rushed into the player team.

Aiming at the largest white gorilla, the dark green warrior raised his knee and struck it, ejecting air from the soles of his feet, making the speed of this attack comparable to that of a cannonball.

Master Song's flail came forward, and his knee hit the iron hammer, but the iron hammer was bent and broken. The white gorilla was hit in the chest, and the entire sternum collapsed. The hair was scorched black by the lightning, and the body flew out sideways.

The little brother shook his staff to give emergency treatment to the summoned creature.

The next moment, the Lost Tree Hunter stomped his feet and rushed to the front of the Trickster who was wandering on the outside of the formation.

The black-skinned, white-haired elf suddenly cast invisibility on himself, and while retreating to avoid it, he cast a silent phantom at the spot.

This magical phantom is a human figure, exactly like Ms. Morning Star. Although there is no sound, the expression in her eyes and eyebrows is extremely vivid.

The Lost Tree Man's terrifying Thunder Knee Strike stopped.

During the brief moment of unconsciousness, it stared at the phantom in front of it, motionless.

No one expected that a mere silent illusion could have such a good control effect.

Lin Bo sensed the whale fire ring stuck in the leader monster's body, and without saying a word, he activated the Fierce Control Technique, causing the flames to explode and burn its internal organs.

Flames burst from beneath Xinya's visor, and her vocal cords were filled with heat. She let out a bright, high-pitched, short laugh that sounded 90% like a woman's voice.

Unable to contain his curiosity, the elf boy shouted in his broken local language, "You are her, right?"

The Lost Treeman did not respond, its body completely engulfed in the azure flames.

Suddenly, the warrior's swollen legs exploded, and the lightning and shock waves dispersed the whale fire and also made the players' bodies shake.

The leader monster self-destructed, and a heart-shaped vine ball flew out from the wreckage. It landed on the wreckage on the ground, extending its roots to absorb nutrients from the wreckage. At the same time, flower buds bloomed on the surface of the heart, spewing out gray-green pollen poison gas.

This was yet another unknown transformation. The dying Lost Tree-Bearer was reconstructing its body at an incredibly fast rate. Even if players unleashed firepower, shattering and incinerating the vine ball, it would still be able to revive as long as its roots remained and its corpses remained on the surface.

Just when everyone was about to start a fight, the alchemist in the team took out a bottle of potion and smashed it on the vine ball. The emerald green liquid spread and the soaked tree roots immediately withered and died.

Everyone was surprised and asked what kind of potion it was and why it was so effective?

[Medicine is worse than life]: Herbicide

As the herbicide killed the last living root, the central control tower hall finally fell completely silent.

[The conditions for clearing the instance have been met, and rewards are being calculated.]

[Rewards for this instance: 12000 Comprehensive Disaster Coins, 162000 General Experience, Gardener's Helmet (Gray), 5 White Raging Coffee Liquids, Blue Life Signal Search Device, Purple Deep Mutation Leg Armor, "Double Blade Dance" (Skill Book), "Blood Snake Winding Traces" (Lore Fragment)]

[Countdown to the opening of the transmission channel...]

Chapter 158: A Spacetime Quest

职业：真名法师Lv6（13605/203000）→（175605/203000）

The sixfold benefit of the Nightmare Invasion affix is ​​indeed immediate and only one step away from upgrading.

Lin Bo put away the cooled Whale Fire Ring and let out a breath.

The time mechanic beside him reminded him.

[Zhi Zhong Shi]: I am going to cancel the acceleration spell. You will soon feel dizzy. This is normal.

The mage nodded slightly. As the clear light from the gyroscope in the time mechanic's palm died out, the magical surges coursing through his nervous system suddenly vanished. A strong sense of dizziness caused by sensory imbalance filled his mind, and his vision went black for a while.

Lin Bo maintained his true name, the Spirit of Words. Even with his body disabled and his limbs paralyzed, he remained standing. After a short wait, the aftereffects of the acceleration receded like a tide, his nervous system revitalized, and his vision and other senses returned to normal.

The dungeon is over, and without the nightmare invasion, you can now search and explore with confidence.

The Central Control Tower occupies a vast area, divided into multiple functional areas, and boasts a complex interior. The tower comprises ten floors above ground, six below ground, and an outer ring with a spaceport for launching spacecraft.

As time goes by, most areas of this building are now inaccessible. Some areas are exposed to the alien environment due to cracked walls and the internal facilities are completely damaged. Some areas are blocked by password doors, and it is difficult to pass through without the key and password obtained by decryption.

Lin Bo came to a central control tower map sign and browsed the various functional areas of the building map. His main targets were three: the third-floor seed hibernation storage warehouse, the sixth-floor computing and storage center, and the industrial park on the underground floor.

In addition, if he had some free time, he also planned to visit the nuclear fusion reactor and magnetic field generator on the third underground floor. These huge devices definitely couldn't be moved, but it would be a good thing to broaden his horizons.

The Central Control Tower has tight security. Without an identity bracelet and access card, it is almost impossible to move around here. If you want to go to any floor, you need to swipe your card to open the door.

From his backpack, Xiaohaige pulled out the various access control and identity bracelets he'd collected during his previous runs. As a plot-focused fan, he'd thoroughly scoured the botanical gardens and was well-prepared. These keys would allow everyone to access most areas of the central control tower.

Lin Bo found a shortcut that led directly to the first five floors of the central control tower, which was the elevator shaft.

The three-story seed hibernation storage vault is blocked by a security gate, and the security measures are still in operation. There are two rotary machine guns with built-in identity recognition cameras hanging on the ceiling. The crossfire formed makes the corridor leading to the gate a death zone.

Two iron balls flew out, shattering the machine gun. A shrill alarm sounded, and the warning light flashed a fierce red light, but it was also shattered by the iron balls.

After the alarm was triggered, the door was completely locked and could not be opened even with a key.

The mage strolled through the corridor and came to the door of the vault. He pressed the heavy door and tapped it lightly with his fingers, sensing the internal lock structure.

Under the control of the Mantra Control Technique, the twelve steel door bolts were directly reset without having to pay attention to the completely stuck lock core.

With a wave of his hand, the door opened with a bang.

The seed hibernation jars in the storage warehouse are stored in the wall cabinet. Each jar contains a batch of hundreds of plant seeds. The computer contains detailed storage dates and experimental progress.

From the first experiment since the botanical garden was built to the last experiment on the eve of the disaster, the variety of seeds has increased and the quality has become higher and higher.

This is the essence of the botanical garden. Each seed is like an article compiled with genetic information. After being expanded, refined and revised time and again by a large number of scholars, the genetic article has become fuller and richer.

Lin Bo uploaded the virus program to the computer, waiting to break through the firewall.

[Picking up trash makes me happy] Without missing a beat, the third version of the "Rabbit Pirate" program successfully penetrated the central control tower's firewall. Lin Bo activated the hibernation thawing process, which would take two hours. He took advantage of this free time to head to the computing and storage center on the sixth floor.

The elevator couldn't reach the sixth floor directly, but fortunately, the stairs were available. The code-protected door at the end had been destroyed by an external force. Two teammates arrived here first.

The Mage and the Chronomechanic looked worriedly at the rows of server cabinets in front of them.

They were interested in the technical data of the Voyager Company, but they couldn't even understand the local language, let alone crack the computer system.

When Lin Bo stepped into the computer room, they both raised their hands and greeted him. Then, they watched as the wizard took out his tablet and uploaded the anti-virus program, his posture as casual as if he were using a computer in an internet cafe.

[Zhi Shi Zhong]: Are you trying to crack the computer firewall of the Voyager Company?

Lin Bo nodded.

Two teammates rushed forward, looking at the mage with affection like two dogs. They offered to buy a copy of the information with the equivalent amount of disaster coins.

Lin Bo shook his head and laughed.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Don't forget that we conquered this dungeon together. As usual, everyone has ownership of the dungeon resources. Once I have sorted out this information resource, I will forward it to you and let Zongwang translate it automatically, saving you the trouble of learning another language.

[Gun Bullet Soul Stealing]: Thank you, Master Brother, you are simply an angel

[Zhi Shi Zhong]: Thank you very much

It was an unspoken agreement that players would share the dungeon's background resources equally. Most of the time, everyone took what they needed. Team leaders like Lin Bo often had implicit priority; any items he chose would be automatically given up by the other teammates.

Anyway, as long as the number of copy challenges is refreshed, the supplies will be refreshed synchronously, and every player will be able to obtain a copy sooner or later, so disputes over snatching are very rare.

The rabbit avatar wearing an eyepatch on the tablet kept opening and closing its fangs. The progress bar was filled up, and an animation of a rabbit's head crashing through a city wall played.

Lin Bo was cheered up. The virus had successfully entered the system, and the next step was to search for information.

The computer service center on the sixth floor of the Central Control Tower stores all the knowledge needed for humans to build extraterrestrial colonies, including practical natural philosophy subjects as well as art and entertainment resources that can guide human psychology.

However, as time passes, many storage units age and their contents are lost. This is unavoidable, as the lifespan of electronic products is short, and the more sophisticated the components, the more fragile they are.

Amidst these vast quantities of chips and memory, a mighty electronic city once stood. Now, only ruins remain, like the central control tower itself, and the valuable houses are locked.

All Lin Bo could do was to remove this piece of electronic waste intact, awaiting subsequent decryption and sorting to see how much content could be salvaged. The most crucial piece was the source code for the artificial intelligence program used by Voyager Corporation to calculate genetic information, followed by the production process for the Gene Weaving Device.

Copying the information also takes several hours. Lin Bo asked two teammates to look after the computer room while he went to visit the industrial park.

The Artillerist and the Time Mechanic held their heads high and chests puffed out, their faces filled with loyalty.

On the way to the industrial park, other teammates were either busy moving supplies or organizing background texts, while others were just looking for a place to rest, sitting on the massage sofas, tasting aged wines, and curiously observing the entertainment equipment that had never existed in their native world.

Basement floor, industrial park.

Looking out, it felt like stepping back into an abandoned ancient machinery factory. Everything in the vast space was covered in dust, and the air reeked of aging oil. However, the industrial equipment here was more complete and sophisticated.

Over the years, the industrial park has maintained power, and some machines continue to operate according to fully automated processes, producing the fertilizer needed for plant cultivation. Most other conveyor belts simply idle, the feed ports are empty, and the storage areas are piled high with waste.

The beeps of the machine's error reports came one after another, but the alarm speaker was old, so the beeps were extremely weak, like the dying gasps of thousands of elderly people.

Lin Bo lamented that if these devices were intact, they would be enough to support an electrified civilized society.

Even if it is waste, it is still full of recycling value.

He was considering purchasing a storage device; otherwise, moving large items through the portal would be too difficult. Besides, he had plenty of disaster coins, so it was time to spend them.

The central area of ​​the industrial park is the office of management personnel. The computer center here is responsible for scheduling all aspects of production and can remotely control each device.

After Lin Bo uploaded the virus, he found the standard production process of all industrial products in the botanical garden. Many files were damaged or lost, but the most critical gene weaving device had a large number of backups, so it was well preserved. Moreover, the encryption was very simple and was easily broken by the virus.

The moment he discovered this production process, Lin Bo made up his mind that he must restart the industrial park, manufacture a brand new gene weaving machine on site, and pack it up and bring it back to Dongya Grottoes.

If you leave the [Botanical Garden] copy, it will be difficult to find an industrial manufacturing center of the same level.

Chapter 159 Gene Weaving Device, Data in Hand, Sorting Out the Harvest

There are a lot of hidden contents in the [Distant Star Botanical Garden] instance, which is a reward for players who explore patiently.

Just like Lin Bo's plan to restart the industrial park, it is also a branch line with a complete plot chain. It requires collecting prerequisite items, unlocking puzzles, obtaining the computer key of the production center, deciphering the production process file of the gene weaving machine, and then repairing the aging and damaged manufacturing equipment step by step.

For those who are purely interested in the plot, this is a long chain full of hardships and rewards.

However, Lin Bo did not take the usual route. He was able to directly break into the computer system and skip the decryption stage.

He now headed directly to the gene weaving machine assembly line. There was already a semi-finished machine with a complete frame on the conveyor belt. All he needed to do was repair the damaged robotic arm so the assembly line could continue assembling components. Then he would go to another production line to produce a complete set of "mutation-inducing fluid."
