Global Mining.

Chapter 917 Another Encounter with the Radiation Demon. The Machine Soul's design is complete.

At the Ghost Island workshop, Da Chun is helping Tifa explore the map.

Suddenly, the machine possessed by the guardian spirit burst out with golden light, and even the map scanned by the guardian spirit became much clearer, larger, and more dazzling, which also greatly expanded the map that Da Chun and the other two were running on.

Everyone was taken aback!
The guardian spirit laughed, "I feel my divine power has increased a lot! I'll upgrade my diagram!"

Increased divine power?

Da Chun guessed the reason, grabbed his phone to watch the live stream, and saw that all the citizens of Black Iron City were worshipping the "Guardian God"! Looking at the city announcement, this was unbelievable, Feng Xing had already recruited 4 Bosses! How far away is the 5th Boss?
Sure enough, it came right away!
—Black Iron Frontier City Announcement: Congratulations! Feng Xing has successfully recruited the city's hidden Boss, the Wraith, into an A-grade pet, "Soul Guardian"...

Holy crap~~~ Does this Biliana have a special skill that allows players to recruit bosses? What will happen if they take a stroll through the sewers of the other four cities?

Then the phone rang; needless to say, it was Zhou Qing.

"Brother Chun, you're amazing! Fengxing has mistakenly recruited 5 Boss pets! A top player has suddenly emerged in the Chinese region. I predict that he will be ranked 12th in the world tonight."

Da Chunhan said, "President Zhou, I didn't do anything."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's right, it's just a matter of a word from Brother Chun. Let me ask on behalf of Brother Long, is it possible to copy this strategy for taming Boss pets?"

Holy crap, you guys want to copy this in the other four cities too, huh?
Da Chun said helplessly, "I really don't know!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Okay, Brother Long is going to treat us to midnight snacks again tonight. Is Brother Chun coming?"

Da Chun laughed: "I'll see!"

"Okay, get ready for Brother Chun anytime..."

After ending the call, Da Chun opened his inventory and used the Magic Mirror to contact Ellen again to inquire about Biliana's situation.

After a while, Ellen replied: "Mainly because Biliana learned some intimidation and fear skills from the Blood Crystal Lord Bat, and Sherry also collected the sixth brother's divine power essence fruit in the village and made a pill with unknown effects, which was also distributed as a reward for the first month of the village garrison leader. It should be the result of the combined effect of these two aspects. Now it seems that the pill should still be working."

Sherry Pharmaceuticals, oh, so that's how it is! Old Six is ​​finally making a profit too.

Ellen continued, "Furthermore, Bellena encountered a powerful Shadow Demon adventurer named Tatami in the sewers and intercepted a portion of his power—a very pure Shadow Demon divine power. I suspect it's the divine power of the Shadow Stream City Demon God in the prison..."

Holy crap! It's that tatami mat again! Has it been blessed by the demon god too?
Da Chun immediately became alert: "Then let Biliana retreat immediately. Stop playing around. The Chamber of Commerce has grown up now."

"Okay, she doesn't really want to play in this smelly, dark place either..."

Da Chun then inquired about the Blood Crystal Lord: "I've been gone for over a day now, and there's still no news from the Blood Crystal Lord?"

"It's difficult to make contact," Ellen said.

Well, after all, it spans several worlds, and there's even a divine prison as a barrier.

"We're not in a hurry; let it continue its search at its own pace. As long as nothing goes wrong, it's fine."

"OK……"

Not long after the chat ended, Tifa indeed broke through first: "I've broken through 10 minutes in map running!"

The guardian spirit was also pleased: "Very good, keep it up! The longer you maintain it, the closer you get to the finished product!"

Tifa confidently declared, "I think I can last 20 minutes!"

Chifenda asked, "Honorable guest, I've noticed that you've been constantly simplifying and modifying the composition?"

The guardian deity said, "That's right. Under the logic of the machine soul, the simpler the design, the more durable it will be and the easier it will be for you to manufacture. By the time my finished design comes out, it will no longer resemble the original structure of this imperial power system. At that time, we can claim that we did not steal imperial technology, which may reduce the pressure on the imperial side."

Chifenda said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your concern, but we do not believe that the Empire is so easy to talk to. From the moment we intercepted the Empire's cargo ship, we have been prepared to deal with any pressure from the Empire."

The guardian asked, "Um...may I ask, why did you initially choose to oppose the Empire? In fact, you could have developed in a more covert way and spent more time, couldn't you?"

Da Chun was also conflicted, it was all because of the Sirens' capriciousness.

Chifenda laughed: "Because this is Spirit Island, and this is the logic of evil spirits!"

The guardian seemed to understand: "Just like my machine soul logic, there are always some aspects that others don't quite understand..."

Just then, a rapid bell rang out from the workshop.

Da Chun was startled: "What is this?"

Chifenda said, "It's a radiation demon. It appears more frequently at midnight, every night. It's not a big problem; our guardian spirit will drive it away."

Radiation Demon!
Da Chun really remembers it vividly. The old tortoise had said it was a deformed creation of the God of Trauma, a jumbled mess of creatures completely detached from normal biological composition, easily collapsing and quickly reassembling. In Da Chun's view, it was like the chaotic beetles of Hell, a product of various monstrous bugs. But this also meant that maybe he could collect various chaotic forces and creative forces here? After all, his cultivation level wasn't high before, but now it was completely different!
Then, the seductive song of the sirens followed.

He figured that meant everything was alright. Suddenly, Da Chun started to worry about the mermaid. But then he thought, since the sirens and mermaids communicate with each other, she should be fine, right?

In fact, mermaids are the real ones who can absorb the power of creation, so it might actually be an opportunity for her.

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

As expected, Feng Xingcuo recruited five bosses in succession, just in the worst possible direction!

Fortunately, the previous four bosses had already prepared everyone mentally, so there was no point in discussing whether it was disgusting or not. The point of discussion now was that this couldn't possibly be the Black Dragon Lord's skill! Because Feng Xingcuo wasn't from the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild; he had temporarily come from Southern Canyon Village to lead the team.

Furthermore, when the Black Dragon Lord issued the quest to the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild, Sila was right there and didn't see the Black Dragon Lord perform any spellcasting or blessing actions. Sila recorded the scene, and the group repeatedly confirmed it—it was definitely not true!
Sariel said irritably, "Then there's only one possibility: Fengxingcuo's southern canyon village has made a major breakthrough."

Gabriel said, "According to the normal village-based work process, if Feng Xingcuo successfully stays in a village for a month, he will receive a special reward from the village, which should be this."

Sila was also quite anxious: "I've always wanted to spend time going to the Southern Canyon Village, but I've either been going to the Empire to steal the ring or to the Desert Ruins. Now I have to accompany my mentor. It's really damn freaking!"

Michael said, "Let's focus on the key points. Five pets can only put pressure on our subordinates; they won't affect our strategy."

Sila sighed, "I understand."

Sariel asked helplessly, "Boss, what's our current strategy?"

Michael sighed, "I told you yesterday that all of us sages have been persecuted by the Emperor, and we can only do our best to support Sira."

Xila laughed and said, "Don't worry, with my combined divine spark, I am definitely our hope!"

Sariel retorted irritably, "Our strategy is to fully support my mermaid!"

Metatron sighed, "What are you talking about? I'm the guardian angel now, shouldn't our strategy be to fully support me?"

Just then, the mermaid on the sunken ship suddenly sounded the alarm with a serious expression: "A sea monster is coming!"

Prince Sariel Raphael trembled in shock: "Very strong?"

The mermaid looked puzzled: "I don't know, I've never encountered anything like this before. Should we turn on the lights and take a look?" The Fourth Prince was taken aback: "Turn on the lights?"

Since nightfall, the Fourth Prince has strictly controlled the use of lights, daring not to turn on a single lamp. After all, many marine creatures are attracted to light. Even if the Second Prince comes looking for them, the lights will not be turned on.

but now……

The fourth prince had no choice but to rely on the mermaid, so he ordered, "Turn on the searchlights!"

As a dazzling beam of light pierced the dark sea, it quickly locked onto a "sea island" drifting towards it. Sensing the light, the island's speed of movement suddenly increased!

Sariel was shocked: "This is clearly..."

The Fourth Prince was shocked: "Everyone, prepare for artillery fire!"

The mermaid said, "I will go and take a look with the two sages."

Sariel also reminded, "Your Highness, please conserve your energy."

So the mermaid wrapped herself in a water sphere and set off, like an alien droplet speeding across the sea. Sariel and Raphael transformed into their angelic forms, providing aerial escort.

As it drew closer, it came into view—a massive octopus, the size of an island, covered in countless fish heads! But it had hundreds of tentacles!
Gabriel felt like vomiting: "I've never seen such an ugly monster!"

Michael said, "It's a bugged program from the old version of the life evolution experiment system! So this is the Sea of ​​Creation."

Uriel said, "They should be like the beetles of hell, redundant garbage generated by the system's operation."

Michael said, "This bugged program has many unreasonable aspects, and its weaknesses should be very prominent. Sariel Raphael specifically looked for these weaknesses to attack, while also summarizing experiences for the mermaid."

Sariel grew increasingly disgusted and irritated: "I see weaknesses everywhere, let's just blow it up!"

After saying that, he summoned all sorts of magical artifacts!

Sure enough, this "island mountain of flesh" was blown apart like a bubble in an instant, with all sorts of limbs and rotting flesh floating on the sea surface.

Even after the battle ended, Sariel was still a little dazed: "That's it?"

Raphael was even more astonished: "No experience points? No rewards at all?"

Uriel laughed: "They're not even as good as hell beetles!"

Sariel immediately flew down and asked the mermaid, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The mermaid pondered deeply: "The strength is too weak, the sample size is too small, and it's difficult to draw a conclusion. And there haven't been any others yet."

No sooner had he said that than the searchlight suddenly turned, and the Fourth Prince immediately called the police: "Your Majesty, two islands have been spotted approaching!"

The mermaid laughed and said, "The samples are here, let's do it!"

Sariel's confidence soared, and sure enough, those two mountains of flesh turned out to be nothing but bubbles, easily destroyed.

Then another island of meat appeared!

Sariel chuckled, "It really is highly phototactic! Very good, consider it a research sample for the baby..."

……

It's 2 PM now, but the game started at 2 AM.

Tifa's composition stability has far exceeded expectations, running continuously for an hour and a half.

Meanwhile, the compositions of Da Chun and Qi Fenda finally broke through the 10-minute stable running time, meeting the initial requirements of the Guardian. After the crash was repaired, it was run multiple times, but always for a little over 10 minutes.

It has to be said that even if Da Chun is a master-level mechanic, the difference between him and Tifa with the Yatnas system is so obvious and clear.

The guardian spirit was also satisfied: "It seems this is the final design! We can merge it now. You three, hand over the design to me."

As the guardian spirit merged the three compositions into one, Chifenda couldn't help but ask, "Honorable guest, my composition is clearly far inferior to this young lady's. What right do I have to merge with hers?"

This is actually what Da Chun wanted to ask too. But, Ms. Tifa? Tifa has been disguised as a man the whole time, and never said she was a woman, so how did Chifanta see right through her? Is it the power of the Holy Spirit, not something that can be judged by the naked eye?

As the guardian spirit merged with the power, it asked, "Chief Engineer, are you a genius?"

Chifenda was a little embarrassed but also very confident: "I probably wouldn't call myself a genius, but I'm confident I'm still talented!"

The guardian spirit then asked Da Chun, "Raven, are you a genius?"

Isn't that obvious?! If I'm not a genius, then who is...?

However, upon closer reflection, Da Chun felt guilty and decided it was better to be humble: "I'm not as good as the chief engineer and Xiao Fa; I just relied on luck and hard work—"

What a load of rubbish! I didn't put in much effort on the machines at all.

Da Chun bluntly stated, "I just relied on luck!"

The guardian said, "But Xiaofa is a genius, and her composition is in the genius mode. But even geniuses have weaknesses. They tend to overestimate ordinary people and assume that others can do things that they find simple, but that's a mistake. So, we need the talent mode and the luck mode to make up for her weaknesses. That's the essence of the three-in-one approach."

Ah! That makes so much sense!

Chifenda suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Then, esteemed guest, may I also become a Machine Soul?"

The guardian spirit laughed and said, "Then we'll see how this imitation turns out."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the three-in-one design of the Guardian God was officially completed: "It's ready to be crafted! It's been simplified into 47 main equipment parts. With the abilities of that blacksmith Smith and Ms. Triskina, the materials won't be a problem."

Qifenda got excited and immediately pulled out a megaphone: "Hey buddy, Xiaocui, the drawing is done, let's get started!"

Da Chun was a little worried: "Old Tie is researching how to break Daenerys' chains, is he able to manage?"

Old Tie's voice came through: "I already have the best choice of materials, let's use this Imperial alloy steel! Just mobilize the entire island's personnel and use rope saws to forcibly cut this chain."

The guardian spirit exclaimed in surprise, "This fine steel can be sawed through?"

Xiao Cui appeared: "Of course, all we need is the hardest diamond drill bit; our guardians have such a drill bit. Then, we need to control the temperature and the expansion and contraction of the chain's kerf..."

Are you talking about sirens? Da Chun was a little incredulous: "Where would she be?"

Xiao Cui glanced at Da Chun: "It was salvaged from a shipwreck."

Holy crap! That divine gem from the Sea Dragon King, the "Heart of the Ocean"! It has this effect too!
