Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Respect is mutual and equal. Every time she sits in front of him, Aina can feel that she is just a "suggestor" rather than the final "decision maker". She has no right to decide the other person's life, and naturally she does not have the right to accuse him or force him to follow her advice.

Although I was very angry, I couldn't turn it into a question, which was the source of my feeling of powerlessness.

Sitting down slowly, Aina glanced at the books on the table and blinked, feeling a little surprised.

"Magic Stone Craftsmanship", "Magic Stone Control Regulations"

"Are you interested in magic stone crafting?"

It turned out not to be a book about dungeons and monsters. After the surprise, Aegina felt inexplicably relieved.

"There are some."

Su Mo was still a little disappointed with this library.

Because he looked up a lot of cases of "breaking through bottlenecks" and "rapid upgrading", but there was really not much to learn from.

For him, as long as there is still room for exploitation, he will continue to exploit.

Rather than resting without doing anything, the best way to calm down is to put yourself in an absolutely rational state and enter a fast-paced battle. Thinking too much is useless, only continuous fighting and continuous progress are the best comfort.

But probably to prevent radical cases from causing unnecessary sacrifices, the guild obviously did not make those overly risky files public. Among the cases made public by the library, Su Mo simply could not find anyone who was more radical than him, who was brave enough to take risks and try new things, and their methods were completely unworthy of a closer look.

"I want to make a magic stone product, but I lack the skills to do so. Ms. Aina, if I ask a magic stone craftsman for help, how can I ensure that my ideas are not stolen? How can I guarantee the ownership of this product?"

"You can post a commission and sign a contract under the witness of the guild. But this is not the best way. The best way is to sign an agreement with the Craftsmen's Guild and find a reliable partner or collaborator."

"The manufacturing technique of this product should not be difficult, and there will probably be many imitators. Therefore, I want to create a brand and factory belonging to my own family to seize the market first. Can I also cooperate with the Craftsmen's Association in this way?"

"If you are afraid of leaking secrets during the research and development process, you must pay more attention to the confidentiality clause when signing the agreement with the Craftsmen's Association and try to increase the penalty for breach of contract. In this way, even if the secrets are leaked, you can get corresponding compensation from the Craftsmen's Association."

Su Mo nodded and continued to ask: "What about buying magic stones? What should I pay attention to?"

Suddenly, the real purpose was revealed.

PS: Double opening is not something a human should do.

Chapter 42: Initial Change

As the most important controlled item in Orario, only the guild can trade magic stones.

On the day when Su Mo received various clear and effective suggestions from Aina, he purchased a batch of magic stones in the name of research and development.

Now that the magic stone is in his pocket, he has the final say on how to use it.

Of course, private sales are not allowed. Regarding the review issue, Aina has explained it clearly enough. New magic stone products will appear and new factories will be built. Except for the possibility of a little more "loss", there will be no problems with the procedure.

This amount of magic stones is just the beginning. Su Mo doesn't want to do a one-time deal.

If nothing unexpected happens, before he can no longer rely on his own body to support the operation of the 'left eye', magic stones will be a necessary resource for him. Therefore, he must continue to buy magic stones. As for the difficult and arduous research and development process...

After returning home, Su Mo took out the magic communication props that had been sealed for a long time.

"Is something wrong?"

Firth's hoarse voice soon came out from the prop.

"I need a mature process for converting magic stone into thermal energy. It should be small, temperature-controlled and adjustable."

"What do you want this for?"

"Pay you back."

Those who owe money are the boss. As long as they owe enough, they will have an inexplicable sense of confidence.

There was silence on the other end of the communication tool for a while. "The relevant processes and drawings will be placed in the storage room tomorrow. You can go and get them."

"Thank you!"

The communication was interrupted and Su Mo put the magic communication prop back into the drawer.

The core technology has been found, so attention naturally falls on the bulging package of magic stone.

The hand of evil stretched out, and a bag full of magic stones that were far superior to the quality of upper-level monsters suddenly turned into black ash at an alarming speed.

Not enough, but...

“… Almost there!”

There was no disappointment, with a large amount of energy injected, the feeling of 'overflowing' has become stronger and clearer.

Su Mo let out a long breath, suppressed his inner throbbing, quickly cleaned up the black and gray, and began to organize his equipment.

Magic stone merchandise and the like are just side businesses, his main focus is ultimately on the dungeon.

……——……

The next day, Su Mo received a thick stack of drawings.

But because his basics were too poor, even with pictures and detailed explanations, it was still a little difficult to understand. But it didn't matter, Su Mo never wanted to delve into the magic stone processing techniques.

He doesn't need to know the whys and hows of things, it is enough for him to understand the general idea.

In the following days, Su Mo would take time out every day to do research, but more and more energy and time were spent on defeating monsters.

Who can resist the temptation of plug-ins——

The feeling that my left eye is about to be "filled up" is like I am only one point away from leveling up. At this last moment, even if it is just a game, I will definitely try my best to play it, let alone reality.

Ninety-nine steps out of a hundred have been taken, and the next step may be a leap in level. How can one remain calm with a heart full of anticipation and urgency?

Kill monsters, kill monsters, kill monsters... Magic stones, magic stones, magic stones...

It felt like it was just a little bit short, but it took Su Mo a full ten days to make up for this little bit.

The final "overflow" came a little abruptly and ended even faster. Before Su Mo could fully react, his left eye, which had suddenly started to work, had gone silent again.

"...!!!"

Everything that happened in an instant did not cause any huge changes. The imagined 'restarted system' and 'leap in level' did not appear. But the moment that 'overflowing' energy burst out from the left eye and spread to the whole body, the fatigue of the body disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by unprecedented lightness and comfort.

Finally, there is clearer vision.

I closed my right eye, but the light did not disappear...

His left eye regained its sight, and not only that, his vision also changed dramatically.

The thick white fog could no longer block his vision. Through the fog, he could clearly see the little devil a hundred meters away. He could even see clearly the dead branches in the dark corners without any light.

The eyes seemed to have the ability to see through the fog and darkness, and the vision was obviously improved by leaps and bounds.

Su Mo clenched his hands vigorously, carefully feeling the changes in himself.

Although my body feels better than ever, my physical strength has not been significantly enhanced, so...

Is this after the upgrade, the status is full?

Once charging is complete, it is equivalent to the second tube of health?

Su Mo stretched out his hand and slowly brushed his left eye. Compared to the previous dead silence and hard to touch, this moment his left eye finally felt connected to his own flesh and blood.

This is undoubtedly a sign that the body and the left eye have established a clear connection.

This connection may not be strong enough now, but Su Mo can truly feel that the 'left eye', which is a whole and can operate independently, is becoming a part of himself. As long as he continues to strengthen this connection, the left eye will one day be completely integrated into himself, and there will be no difference between them.

However, just like steel is difficult to dissolve in water, what prevents the fusion of himself and his left eye is not insufficient energy, but his current physique is far from strong enough to support the 'left eye', an organ that seems to have been sublimated to another dimension.

It is for this reason that the left eye needs external energy supply in order to function barely.

Su Mo could no longer remember how many magic stones his left eye had absorbed.

But one thing is very clear, if his left eye was not absorbing energy outward but squeezing energy inward, when his left eye started to work, his body would have been squeezed to the point of being overwhelmed and he would have very likely died suddenly.

There is still a long way to go if I want to completely integrate my left eye into myself.

However, this did not prevent Su Mo from being extremely excited at the moment.

It took nearly two months to finally activate the "plug-in". His left eye regained its sight and his vision was enhanced. Although he didn't leap into the sky, in addition to God's grace - ability value, a new way to become stronger has been fully revealed in front of him. How can this not make people excited.

The joy in his heart was hard to suppress. Su Mo quickly finished his lunch box and could not wait to enter a state of absolute rationality and return to the battle.

My physical condition has never been better, and the improved eyesight also requires some adaptation. At this time, what could be more suitable than fighting?

His body was so light... He supported himself with one hand and did a light somersault to avoid the wooden stick that whizzed past his cheek. Su Mo suddenly felt that the battle was much easier than it was ten minutes ago.

My physical condition is incredibly good, as if I had unloaded all the burdens and was able to go into battle lightly. My control over my body has directly reached a new level.

Not only that, the changes in dynamic vision are even more amazing. All the monster's actions and every detail of its body are so clear that there is no secret at all.

The enemy has slowed down!

This was not an illusion. In Su Mo's eyes, the opponent's actions were just a beat slower. And this beat was like an insurmountable chasm, allowing Su Mo to naturally bring the enemy under his control and easily dominate the battle.

The eleventh floor was no longer his limit... After easily slaying three orcs with his sword and feeling that he was still able to handle the situation with ease, Su Mo turned his gaze towards the passage to the twelfth floor.

Chapter 43: The Small Stove

The dungeon always gives a heavy blow to those who are complacent.

Less than half an hour after entering the twelfth floor, Su Mo, who had fled hastily back to the eleventh floor, could only be described as in a state of disgrace.

Blood was oozing from his forehead, his left arm hung limply, the arm guard was nowhere to be seen, a severed horn had penetrated from the shoulder blade at the back and pierced out from below the clavicle at the front, the flowing blood was constantly dyeing the horn red.

Seeing that there were no monsters ahead, Su Mo quickly put the Sword of the Goddess back into the scabbard, took out a bottle of healing elixir and poured it into his mouth. At the same time, without stopping, he ran straight towards the direction leading to the tenth floor.

The types and numbers of monsters on the twelfth floor will increase significantly. Su Mo has known this for a long time, but only by experiencing it personally can one truly understand why the twelfth floor is classified as a Lv. 2 crusade area.

The increase in long-range monsters made it easier for people to get into trouble. What was even more fatal was that the support speed was too fast. Before the monsters encountered before were destroyed, more monsters surrounded them. If you don't run, you will face more and more monsters, leaving you no chance to breathe.

If he wants to gain a foothold on the twelfth floor, his current ability is obviously not enough.

After fleeing all the way back to the surface, Su Mo arrived at the Dean Kate Clan Pharmacy with ease.

If you want to enter the dungeon tomorrow with such an injury, it will be useless to find an ordinary healer.

"Thank you for your patronage. Here's a 30 yuan discount!"

When Su Mo heard these words as soon as he entered the room, he suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave. The treatment had not even started yet.

"I hope you can always maintain the title of Orario's strongest healer." Su Mo said unhappily.

"I will continue to work hard."

Ahmed replied calmly, but suddenly, her expression changed, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who cured your eyes?"

"Oh, it's a 100 million francs."

"Does it come with a treatment plan? If so, I'll buy it."

Su Mo: "..."

Tsk, she is indeed a rich woman.

……——……

"That child's radiance has changed, Ota!"

At the highest point of the Tower of Babel, a man slowly walked into the dim room. As he spoke, he took off the robe that concealed his features, revealing a face that was bright enough to illuminate the dim room.

"Have you become stronger?" The rock-like orc took the robe and asked calmly.

"Ok!"

The magic stone lamp on the table lit up, illuminating the raised corners of the goddess of beauty's mouth.

"There were no signs this morning. I thought he would need some time to settle down before he could break through the bottleneck, but I didn't expect him to break through the barrier so quickly. This is no longer just a matter of [ability value] and [becoming stronger]. The child's brilliance has become more vivid and more brilliant!"

“Does this mean that the development of the instrument has made significant progress?”

"You can say that."

The goddess of beauty smiled more and more charmingly, and she carefully selected from the long wine rack, and finally took down a bottle of wine brewed by Dionysus. "The gods always favor those children who can bring unexpected surprises. This is a well-deserved surprise, Ota."

The goddess of beauty said this as she handed the bottle of wine to her one-in-a-million follower.

The burly orc took the divine wine with both hands, opened it silently, and poured it into the decanter. "So you came back so early today, is there something for me to do?"

"As expected of Ota."

The goddess of beauty first smiled and praised him, and then continued: "I am a little curious and want to know what he did in the dungeon today?"

His strength has increased, his brilliance has become more vivid and brilliant, even his left eye has become intact. Something interesting must have happened today!

"As you wish."
