Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 305 Detailed Planning
"Do we have to exchange for that cultivation technique before we can confirm our guess?"

Xiangzi said with some anticipation, "I hope the main god won't let us down."

She looked at the mithril doll again.

This doll may not be the strongest among Xu Feng's many creations, but it is certainly the most technically advanced.

The dolls are exactly the same as normal people in appearance and feel, except that they look exceptionally exquisite and have outstanding features.

But Shoko witnessed the entire process of the doll's creation and knew very well that this doll was... a mechanical creation.

It should be considered a robot, or rather, a puppet or a golem.

It is a creation born from the perfect combination of science and technology and cultivation ability at the microscopic level.

This special robot's body structure is exactly the same as that of a practitioner who has reached the sixth level of perfection in the Sixteen Contemplations Sutra of Pure Land. Its meridian and dantian system, constructed from Orichalcum, mithril, and energy stones, endows it with remarkable true energy. Its brain, made of Agross metal, Philosopher's Stone, and crystal, carries the projection of the Pure Land of Bliss.

The mental fluctuations that Xiangzi scanned on the robot were simulated by the Egros metal.

The robot's offensive capabilities are in no way inferior to Tifa's, who has mastered the Six Insights, and its defensive capabilities are even better.

Mithril armor is practically impervious to blades and spears, and this special robot is made mostly of mithril. Even if it doesn't move at all, it would be difficult for ordinary superhumans to break through its defenses. If true energy is used to amplify the strength of the mithril, its defensive strength would be enough to make enemies despair.

The illusionary clones and illusionary Zhao Zhuikong that Xu Feng had previously created were stronger than this robot, but those illusionary constructs were based on the Reality Materialization Illusion Technique, which required Xu Feng to consume energy to maintain their existence, which was equivalent to Xu Feng indirectly intervening.

If one creates too many or too powerful targets in their imagination, their own strength will be affected.

The main material of the illusionary clone was provided by the god-born spider monster Hilob, and it can exist for a long time. At this time, it is supervising Zhao Zhuikong and extracting data from his dreams; the illusionary Zhao Zhuikong was dispelled after defeating Zhao Zhuikong.

This special robot is purely a creation.

It can unleash its full power regardless of who wields it. It can be driven by energy stones, absorb energy from heaven and earth in mid-to-high magic worlds on its own, or be directly input into the user's true essence.

With enough materials, the number of robots is unlimited.

Of course, the materials used for this thing are all very expensive, and they are all obtained by exchanging them from the main god. To manufacture one such robot, the materials alone would cost hundreds of thousands of reward points. Even if all the mithril mines in Moria were mined out, it would be impossible to manufacture too many.

“Shouldn’t a simplified version of this doll be made?” Xiangzi’s eyes lit up. “These kinds of lifelike dolls based on magical legends have many uses.”

Such a lifelike doll, combined with an AI that has learned advanced psychology, can completely transform into the most perfect confidante. Who among ordinary people could resist it?
The false is often more beautiful than the truth!

Xu Feng glanced at Xiangzi.

After a brief moment of thought, I gathered different materials again and began working.

A moment later, five robots of different sizes appeared in front of the three.

"To create a high-level doll, three materials are essential: energy stones, mithril, and Agros metal. Only these materials can construct the doll's spirit and essence. Among them, Agros metal is the core that allows the doll to recognize its master. Only by using this metal can you avoid worrying too much about someone taking away control of the doll."

"These downgraded versions only need to construct the core meridians, dantian, and computing core for them, and the required amount of those three key materials is about one percent of the original version."

Xu Feng explained, "The first type of advanced doll is made with materials such as Xuan Iron, Dragon Steel, and Gundam Nim alloy; it is less realistic, but its combat power is still quite good."

The robot's appearance resembled that of a seasoned female warrior, with bronze skin and sharply defined muscles.

Upon closer inspection, a metallic sheen can also be observed on these dolls.

"The second type of advanced puppet is made by combining a core with common biological materials; its realism is high enough, but its combat power is far inferior to the first type, roughly equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has reached the second stage of cultivation."

This robot is almost identical to a real person, with flawless white skin and a graceful figure.

Those who lack a keen eye for detail would find it difficult to detect that she is a robot without in-depth and meticulous observation.

"The third type of advanced puppet is a mecha developed using the same technology. Its theoretical combat power is close to that of the first type, but because it has to protect the operator, which is a negative improvement, its actual combat power is only about half that of the first type."

The mech is about five meters tall and is not disguised.

There is a door on the back of the mech that allows the operator to enter.

"The fourth type is the cultivation guide, whose main function is to guide people in cultivation."

The robot has a loose structure that can be easily disassembled, and information is marked on every part of its body, inside and out.

Due to structural issues, its combat effectiveness is inferior to the previous three types of robots.

"The last type is a pure robot that does not use advanced materials, cannot recognize a master, and can only be controlled by an AI program; its combat power is average, and its simulation level is also very limited; its only advantage is that it only requires the most common materials and can be mass-produced."

Xu Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Hehe... This kind of pure humanoid robot is far less powerful than other structures. It even needs parts to fly, so mass production is meaningless."

In fact, even the four relatively stronger robots mentioned earlier were, in his eyes, special dolls that were difficult to use effectively.

Its main purpose is probably... to exchange reward points with new players.

Even without these things, Xu Feng has enough items to squeeze all the reward points out of the newcomers. These creations are simply to give newcomers more choices.

"Not necessarily!"

Xiangzi laughed and said, "Even the fifth type of doll, ordinary people can't tell the difference between the real and the fake. And the vast majority of people in the reincarnation world are ordinary people. If this kind of product is used well, it is enough to disrupt the order of a region!"

Xu Feng remained noncommittal and explained the control methods for the five robots to Xiangzi.

Xiangzi squeezed blood from his finger and dripped it onto the foreheads of the first four robots; finally, he inserted the control chip into the ear of the last robot.

The 'weakness' that Xu Feng mentioned was not weak at all in her eyes!
Are robots with strength equivalent to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators weak?
Apart from Zhao Zhuikong, the three veterans of the East American team might not be able to defeat the second robot, which Xu Feng called 'weak,' in a one-on-one fight.

There's no need to even compare her to other teams—the sad reality is that her direct combat ability is inferior to the first robot; staying in the third mech would significantly improve her self-defense capabilities.

These "downgraded" versions that Xu Feng disdains can all make her stronger.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the 'reduction' only reduces the materials, and the craftsmanship is not much worse than the original pure mithril doll.

"With these magical legendary robots around, even if the Lonely Mountain Expedition comes to the vicinity of the Misty Mountains, we won't waste time following them, right?"

Xiangzi used his mental power to remotely control the first two robots as they left Moria.

The stronger forces headed east, preparing to wait for the Lonely Mountain Expedition near the Orc town; the weaker forces headed west, preparing to enter Lake-town to deal with Smaug.

the other side.

While Xu Feng was developing his abilities, the Lonely Mountain Expedition had also traveled a considerable distance. Bing'er's flute music quickened the expedition's pace.

However, the arrival of the six new members shortened the team's daily travel time.

At first, these newcomers were able to persevere thanks to their interest, and they were very satisfied with the pristine environment of the Lord of the Rings world.

As the journey takes longer and further from the starting point, some newcomers gradually lose patience.

Most newcomers join the Lonely Mountain Expedition for reward points and to hunt orcs. They do detect orcs during their marches, but most of the time they only hear their voices and never see them.

This made the newcomers even more frustrated.

After confirming with Gandalf and Thorin that ordinary Orcs were weak and unable to defeat fully armed humans, some of the newcomers would sometimes take advantage of their faster horses to break away from the group and search for Orcs in the surrounding area. This behavior repeatedly disrupted the expedition's marching rhythm.

When marching in the wild, it's not as simple as just setting up camp when it gets dark.

More often than not, even though there was still some time before dark, we had to rest in a suitable place in advance because there was no suitable campsite ahead.

All things considered, the speed of the Lonely Mountain Expedition was not much different from that in the original storyline.

This night.

The expedition's camp was located in the ogre forest, not far from the valley.

"Miss Bing'er, we'll probably be facing ogres tonight, right?" the new bride, Nan Yelin, asked softly after setting up the tent.

There were only two women in the Lonely Mountain Expedition, and their tents were often set up in the same place.

After nearly a month of traveling, the new female traveler believed she had become friends with this elfin-like 'veteran'. She spent most of her time sticking to this veteran, completely ignoring the three Yakuza newcomers who kept trying to curry favor with her.

Just now, the bride overheard Thorin and Gandalf arguing.

After Gandalf was driven away by the stubborn Thorin, she became certain that the ogres were about to attack.

"Hmm, Big Yellow has already smelled the ogre's scent." Bing'er stroked the country dog's fur.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be the three trolls that appeared in the original story."

"Miss Bing'er, can you kill the ogres? When the captain led us through the ogre forest, those ogres were far stronger than those in the movies. They were over ten meters tall, practically giants," Nan Yelin asked with some concern.

The new female recruit understood perfectly well that although they were well-equipped and their strength had improved considerably in the past month with the help of dragon meat, they were still far from being able to defeat an ogre of that strength.

Fighting a monster of that level would be suicide.

In the original story, Thorin and his companions were captured by three trolls and nearly roasted and eaten; if Bilbo hadn't stalled for time and Gandalf hadn't arrived before dawn, the Lonely Mountain Expedition would have become troll barbecue.

The fact that these characters survived after being captured cannot be said to be entirely due to the protagonist's halo, but if they had been less lucky, they probably wouldn't have survived.

The new bride wouldn't dare gamble.

If the two veterans in the expedition team do not have the power to defeat the ogres, the best option is to run away beforehand.

Bing'er chuckled and looked at the wooden beast tree, saying, "My abilities are mainly supportive, and I can't defeat the ogres; Old Man Mu, on the other hand, can easily tear the ogres apart."

"If you have the opportunity, try to make a move."

"Ogres are indeed very strong, but attacking them from a distance will not pose too much of a danger."

The newlyweds knew a fierce battle was about to begin, and they started making serious preparations after setting up camp.

They chewed on the dragon meat, replenishing their energy for the battle.

—After learning from Gandalf what the East Sea crew's food was, the dwarves immediately showed great respect for these ordinary people.

Dragon meat means these mercenaries really have the ability to slay dragons!
No matter how weak these humans are, this food proves that their backing is absolutely strong, and that this mercenary group might actually be able to kill Smaug and help them return to Lonely Mountain.

Just as the group was eating, Da Huang suddenly barked.

Trolls are attacking!

Upon hearing the yellow dog's bark, the dwarves immediately gripped their weapons. They knew that the unassuming yellow dog was extremely alert and had saved them from many dangers along the way.

"It's ahead of schedule?!"

When Nan Yelin saw the monster charging towards her, her expression changed.

The sky had just darkened, and the expedition team had just set up camp. Why were the ogres attacking the expedition team now?
In the original storyline, the dwarves were captured by the ogres and held out until dawn. Now the ogres are attacking so early... If they cannot defeat the ogres, they will only become the ogres' food!
She glanced at the 'veteran' with some concern.

"Our food is so delicious..." Bing'er smiled and shook her head.

"Even trolls can't resist the temptation of carefully cooked dragon meat."

The newcomers on the East China Sea team did not change the storyline, but their involvement in the storyline has already caused changes.

Bing'er placed the Imperial Arms Shriek to her lips and gently played a lullaby.

The three trolls, who had been so aggressive, suddenly became sluggish upon hearing the flute.

The dwarves and the newcomers of the East Sea team were also affected by the flute music, but they only suffered the aftershocks and some mental attacks.

"Attack now!"

The wooden treant reminded him.

Killing the ogres wouldn't earn Xu Feng many reward points. When the East Sea team first arrived in this world, Xu Feng had killed several ogres in this ogre forest, but each ogre gave him very few reward points.

The difference in strength between him and the ogres was too great. He could pulverize the ogres into atoms with a flick of his finger. The main god gave him reward points, but also suppressed the rewards to the extreme.

The newcomer has just entered the cycle of reincarnation and has not undergone any enhancement.

If they kill ogres that are far stronger than themselves, they will naturally receive many more reward points than veterans; these three ogres also have a significant role in the story, and for this reason, newcomers may even be able to access side quests.

In the East China Sea team, there is no difference between the reward points received by newcomers and those received by Xu Feng himself. After returning to the Main God Space, the reward points held by these newcomers will naturally be converted into items needed by Xu Feng.
