Not only did he accumulate enough experience points to upgrade, but he also had a surplus of 100,000 experience points.
He sighed with satisfaction, put away the Feather Scale Star Steel, and then it was time to search. He went to the industrial park to move computer hardware. In just a quarter of an hour, he put all the electronic components in stock into space-time cartons.
Lin Bo pondered that the refresh time of the [Botanical Garden] dungeon was already quite long. Other players had tested it specifically and found that from the moment they entered the dungeon, players could stay in this space and time for seven hours and a quarter. If they exceeded the time limit and still had not passed the level and could not leave through the teleportation channel, they would be forcibly declared dead by the comprehensive network.
It took their team just over four hours to advance, rest, and end the final battle.
The remaining three hours can be used more efficiently.
Now that he has the time and space cardboard box, he can bring books into the copy and study during the time when the copy is not refreshed.
Besides the Botanical Garden dungeon, the Sea Spirit Altar also refreshes every five hours. He can now lead his team through the entire dungeon in less than two hours. With two challenge opportunities per day, he can earn another six hours of reading time.
The refresh time of [Machinery Factory] is 3.5 hours, and he can finish the battle in a few minutes. Three times a day, that's 10.5 hours.
In this way, he could earn nearly twenty hours of free time by relying on the copy.
Lin Bo made up his mind to move the bookshelf into the time and space paper box, and study in the copy from now on.
This would free up his nights to implement construction plans and renovate the Lighthouse Workshop and East Cliff Grottoes. During the day, he could promote his prosthetic limb program and maintain close contact with the members of the Tower Guard Order, allowing the sect to expand and grow faster.
He secretly sighed, the changes brought about by the space storage props were huge. Fortunately, he had bought the time-space cardboard box early when he had some spare money. The more than 10,000 disaster coins brought a whole new lifestyle and schedule.
After completing the copy search, Lin Bo found a quiet room in the central control tower and practiced the Black Snake Meditation Technique. He spent an hour and a half meditating to gain proficiency, and then began to practice the Mantra Control Technique.
Keep stalling until the countdown pops up on the message board.
[Important reminder from the network: The current instance is about to close. Please leave the transmission channel immediately, otherwise you will be forced to die.]
[Countdown to copy closure: 300, 299...]
Only after personally confirming the copy closing process did Lin Bo return to the East Cliff Grottoes.
The lights are bright, and the mushroom seagulls gather near the nuclear power unit. The mushroom MSG production line has begun to take shape, and mechanical guards are on standby next to the production equipment, waiting for the day when the assembly line will start.
Lin Bo walked to the coast outside the cave and sat cross-legged on a smooth reef.
"upgrade."

Professional Features (New)
Secret Language Learner: As a seeker of the magical language, the secrets of the power runes are engraved on the soul. You will no longer forget the pronunciation and shape of the magic language.
The cursed light emanating from the rune of his real name in his mind expanded, covering his head and seeping into the gaps between his bones and every inch of his flesh and blood.
The cursed light vibrated slightly, and the frequency of the fluctuation fell into the eardrum, turning into a rustling sound in Lin Bo's ears.
It was a very complex and varied sound, like the rubbing of leaves, the shaking of rattlesnakes, the hum of Indian maraschino, the vibration of insect arthropods, and snowflakes brushing against the glass exterior wall.
Listening carefully, it seemed like the faint pronunciations of hundreds of magical words overlapping each other.
The cursed light captured the memory of the Word of Power from the mind and projected it all onto the retina.
A faint sour and itchy feeling arises at the bottom of the eyes, as if there are ants crawling along the surface of the eyeball.
Lin Bo whispered the true name of water, drew a stream of water from the sea, spread it into a circle, cooled it and melted the ice, and checked his eyes with the help of the reflection on the ice.
Runes in the Gudorei language and the Animist language flowed on the white sclera like colorful dust, converging towards the pupil in the center of the eyeball.
The amber iris was covered in a stream of multicolored runes. These characters were like thousands of sailboats sailing along a river network, obscuring the brown and yellow waterways, and finally falling from the edge of a waterfall into the abyss-like pupil.
At the junction of the iris and pupil, an extremely thin ring of bright light gradually forms. Under the sunlight, the bright circle reflects a variety of colors, shining brightly, more dazzling than all the gems and jades in the world.
The radiance of the cursed power faded.
Lin Bo's auditory hallucinations subsided, and the sudden changes in his eyes also ended.
Individuals who study power runes will, sooner or later, be influenced by the power of the runes and experience various strange phenomena.
Most miracle powers have this characteristic. Just like his teammate, the chronomechanic [Clock Knower], the power of order from the Mechanical Realm manifested, reflecting a brass clock in his pupils.
This power-infected change can be good or bad, sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing, and sometimes both.
Lin Bo’s new feature “Secret Language Learner” is undoubtedly a purely positive effect.
The sound, form and meaning of the magic language are separated. Only by mastering the semantics can you remember the shape and pronunciation of the characters.
The more powerful the magic word, the more difficult it is to understand its meaning, and the faster the shape and pronunciation are forgotten.
Lin Bo knew nearly a thousand words in the Gudorei language, but only a few in the Animist language. Even if he could continue to gain new power symbols by deciphering the alien language, he would forget them after reading them because he did not understand their meaning.
In the past, learning the magic language meant constantly listening to the sounds of all things, pondering it repeatedly until the semantics were understood, and then looking for the corresponding glyphs. Progress in study was quite slow.
Just like traveling through an infinite palace shrouded in fog, he needs to use the limited number of keys in his hand to grope for the correct answer among the countless doors of the maze.
With the Secret Language Learner trait, you can first memorize the pronunciation and shape of the magic language, and then figure out the meaning bit by bit.
As if the fog had cleared, he could see the shape of the door lock clearly and make the corresponding key. From then on, he could open any door he encountered and break through any barrier he encountered.
Chapter 167: Making a Fortune, Prosthetic Limb Project, New Buds
The first thing Lin Bo did after returning to the lighthouse was to empty the shelves in the study.
Boxes of books are stored in iron boxes according to categories.
The top cover of each box was printed with the names of the books stored. He would circle the titles of the books he had read and memorized, and print a triangle in front of the titles of the books he needed to review repeatedly.
He put the iron box into the time-space paper box. In addition, considering the comfort of the reading environment, he made a light and sturdy steel desk, a chair with an ergonomic backrest, a desk lamp, and enough ink and manuscript paper in the drawers of the desk.
A simple mobile study is ready.
To make the reading experience better, you can also take out the small detoxifying incense burner and light some incense to make the air in the copy's time and space background fresh and pleasant.
There are three challenges left in the [Ancient Machinery Factory] today, so Lin Bo opened the portal at the lighthouse.
After spending two minutes cleaning up the guards in the factory, he unfolded the time and space paper box on the open space on the third floor and put away the remains of the mechanical guards. He then took out the tables, chairs, and bookcases and studied quietly for three and a half hours until the countdown for the copy to refresh began. Only then did he pack up the textbooks and chairs as if he had finished studying in the library.
He repeated this three times, staying in the copy for a total of ten hours, and completed the study plan he had originally planned for tonight.
In the evening, the mayor and Viscount Pearl came to visit, bringing news that the pharmaceutical company and the mechanical workshop had been successfully registered.
The Imperial Companies Act, promulgated five years ago, requires at least seven shareholders to register a company. Viren Pearl recruited partners in the monastery. He himself served as the legal representative of the company. He was also responsible for contacting lawyers and spending money to draft registration documents, mainly to clearly state the company's organizational outline and management charter.
The two new companies were named "Cifu" Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and "Mystery" Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and these two names were also decided after discussion among the members of the order.
Having personally experienced the healing skills of miracle workers, members of the order call such healing skills a blessing from the saints.
The mystery is their sincere recognition of the miracle worker as the incarnation of the craftsman. The word "mystery" comes from the original text of the Five Gods, "Whatever he touches, iron and fire will be cast into the shape of mystery." - "The Craftsman's Sutra,
The completed registration documents were sent to Hongdu on an expedited basis and were reviewed and approved by the Trade Commission of the Royal Ministry of Commerce.
When registering a food company some time ago, Viscount Pearl relied on his connections. He was a legendary figure in Hongdu. The registrar of the Trade Commission reviewed and approved the documents on the same day and sent the certificate back to Jinbei City.
The registered addresses of the three companies are all Shita Town, but currently only the food company has a separate factory location. The other two are just empty shells with no venue, no employees, and no products.
When the visitors left, Viscount Pearl, who stayed at the lighthouse, reported in detail the returns from the first batch of mushroom MSG he sent to Hongdu. He received huge orders from the aristocracy.
With its unique complex flavor, the first-extracted mushroom MSG allows diners to experience a high-level taste enjoyment that surpasses all the dishes of the ancient and modern Kening Empire, making eating extremely exciting. Even for elderly people with poor appetite, their dull taste buds can still be stimulated, rejuvenating their appetite of youth.
For many first-time users, the passage of time without the ability to taste mushroom MSG feels like torture. The taste leaves them feeling nauseous and unable to eat.
Delicious food can also be an addiction, and because it does not harm the body, people can indulge in it without worry and do not want to sober up.
Along with the orders came a flood of bank checks. Hundreds of customers, all nobles, wealthy businessmen, and senior officials, accepted Viscount Pearl's high offer and were willing to pay nearly the same amount of gold for the original MSG.
The MSG production workshop in Dongya Grottoes has become a veritable gold mine printer.
The deposit for the first batch of business orders was already equivalent to ten years of tax revenue for Shita Town. If it were a normal company, the business tax paid to the town hall would make the mayor and other officials laugh their heads off, but in reality, all this money belonged to the collective Tower Guard Order.
Neither Willen Pearl himself nor the town hall could take a single copper coin from it.
A small portion of this money is used to repay interest-free loans to members of the order, and the rest can be used for the development of the order and the town.
For example, in the name of the town hall, they invested in the construction of a drainage system, a power plant, and a water plant. The newly established Mysterious Machinery Workshop contracted the project, and then recruited designers and workers from the town and Jinbei City.
Lin Bo plans to have the order invest in Ci Fu Pharmaceutical Company and set up a special medical fund. He will invest all the medical fees he receives into the fund and use the money to offset the residents' major medical expenses. He can also build special clinics and recruit doctors to work there.
With the financial support of the food company that makes a lot of money, the two shell companies will be able to grow quickly.
When mentioning the establishment of a medical fund, he asked the mayor whether the statistics of the disabled population had been completed.
The mayor quickly took out a notebook from his coat pocket. In the past two days, he and his clerk have been running around Shita Town, collecting basic information of the disabled people as required, including age, gender, home address, height and weight, and part of the disabled body.
"Anything else missing?"
"There are a few sailors working on ocean-going vessels that I haven't counted yet, but I've personally observed everyone else in town."
"Okay. The medical expenses of these people will be borne by the fund of Ci Fu Company." Lin Bo instructed.
Viscount Pearl and the mayor exchanged bewilderment. They realized that the healing Miracle was referring to was restoring these people's disabilities. Even a duke who had been paralyzed for years could be cured. How could such medical skills not be called a gift?
"Praise you, my lord. Your will will be done." Viscount Pearl bowed his head and touched his forehead, and the mayor followed suit.
Tomorrow is Thursday again, the gathering day for the Tower Guardians.
Viscount Pearl was about to announce an important piece of news. He had already discussed it in detail with the old priest and now reported it to the god he worshipped.
"I plan to exempt the members of the order from rent. Believers in miracles can settle freely in the Pearl family's territory, and this agreement will never change." Velen stared into the eyes of the night watchman, focusing on the colorful halo in his eyes. He couldn't suppress his amazement on his face, and his hands and feet trembled unconsciously.
Lin Bo nodded and asked, "You are willing to sacrifice your own interests, what do you want?"
As landowners, the nobility relied on collecting land rent as a major source of income. Although the agricultural value of land had plummeted, and the nobility had turned to investing in urban industry and commerce for profit, the land rent remained substantial.
Previous generations of the Pearl family, having earned their fortunes from the whale trade, had proactively lowered the rent, both as an act of kindness and to attract more people to the territory. When Willen Pearl inherited the land, he maintained this tradition and now planned to gradually abandon the rent income.
"The priests taught us that wealth and power can confuse the eyes and interfere with judgment. I am willing to give up external things, lighten my body and mind, and follow my Lord for a long time. I wait for the moon beside me, chasing you as I chase my life, and I ask for nothing more."
Viren Pearl's tone was gentle, his eyes were bright and rational, and a smile of satisfaction and joy appeared on his cheeks.
The mayor standing by had a confused expression, was a little restless, and always seemed to be hesitating to speak.
Lin Bo remained silent. He looked at the mayor and asked, "Lorcan, you've worked so hard, what do you want?"
"You saved our family and this town. It's a miracle, my Lord. So I don't want anything."
The night watchman waved to them and said, "You can leave now. We'll see you tomorrow."
The two visitors stood up and said goodbye.
That night, Lin Bo had plenty of free time. In the first half of the night, he perfected the initial version of the design drawings of the human prosthetic structure, including limbs and eyeballs, which could cover the needs of most disabled groups.
By the middle of the night, Lin Bo had crafted a prototype of a mechanical prosthesis using sea-gray steel and metal neurons. Tens of thousands of parts, except for the battery and camera, were all hand-made using the Life Control Technique.
