There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 494, Pretending Not to See It
Xiao Yang's smile was radiant.

Especially after seeing that unlucky guy actually pick out a perfectly straight stick.

There's a subtle, satisfying feeling of successfully pulling off a prank.

"Yes, it's a perfectly straight stick!"

Of course, Xiao Yang wouldn't be so tasteless.

It was just a harmless joke.

The beautiful ghostly maid finally found herself before the dazed figure who had stood for so long at the entrance of the vault.

On a silver tray, a blue longsword lay.

Xiao Yang took a moment to type out the Sorrow of Ice.

At that moment, an indescribable look of surprise appeared on the unfortunate man's face.

Against an overall backdrop of sadness and disorientation, he managed a weak smile, looking as if he had been saved.

The little incident has passed.

With the end of the event dungeon, the Skeleton Dungeon returned to its usual tranquility.

………….

City of Hope.

The God of Hunting gazed enviously at the densely packed, dark blue workshop area.

If they could, why would these once-respectable elves be willing to ride dinosaurs and roar and scream through the primeval forest?

With the continuous expansion of the Magic Energy Workshop.

Like a mutated beast that keeps expanding, the natural magical energy gathered in this area has long been unable to sustain its consumption.

Those towering, chimney-like magic towers built during the early stages of industrial development.

They greedily suck up the free elements in the air.

At its peak, the dense array of towering buildings created an artificial, low-magic environment for the entire city.

The heartbeat of this vast world is once again pulsating, like a final burst of light in a window of recovery.

The concentration of natural magic continues to rise.

You can even witness the colorful aurora borealis manifested by the excessive enrichment of the magical tide in that vast wilderness.

Greedily siphoning natural elements is a production choice that is difficult to sustain in the long run.

But what was even more unexpected was...

"It was able to maintain this state for such a short time."

The frenzied expansion continues even today.

"Tearing down, clearing, leveling the land, the falling of steel and building materials."

The municipal authorities of Hope City have already issued a formal notice to the industrial zone.

Among these towering element collection towers, many were newly built, with steel plates that had just been cut and the pungent smell of gunpowder from the welding still lingering. They were 90% or even 100% new.

But there was no other choice but to grit my teeth and retire.

“There are no subsidies at all.”

As long as victory is achieved in every battle, the pioneering spirit continues, and the legend endures.

This is not the promised land flowing with honey and milk.

All that remained was a group of poor souls who had just struggled to their feet from the ruins.

The new blast furnace is under construction at an accelerated pace.

The rumbling machine, once running, means that any stagnation is a loss.

A new energy source has been found.

On that battlefield, filled with intense heat, deadly radiation, and soil soaked in grease.

Pieces of colorful glass were smashed and transported out.

This is just from the perspective of the producer.

The gods are undoubtedly the true progenitors.

An unparalleled high-energy organism.

The analysis and imitation of the construct knights provided by Xiao Yang have begun.

It must be acknowledged that these ancient creations, these new generation mages, are intellectuals born into chaotic worlds, small worlds, medium worlds, or large worlds.

Trying to understand only resulted in more confusion.

The entire analysis process was filled with comments like, "I don't understand, this should be the effect, right? Maybe it can be done like this, oh, I see!"

It's confusing.

Xiao Yang attempted to introduce mature magical techniques from various realms.

After all, with the help of the powerful mage, he could easily acquire a range of magical technologies. However, this strategy was still not very successful.

The extraordinary tides surging through this world have been imbued with too much of the essence of evil gods.

Only the basic techniques could be fully reproduced; the other more complex parts were almost completely overturned.

If I were to describe it...

"One plus one equals three in the land of decay."

Those technologies acquired at exorbitant costs are simply not recognized by the world.

A situation that is difficult to explain.

The technology and principles are clearly the same.

"That can't be."

"If this logic isn't accepted, then why do you have mages in your world?"

"Where on earth are you?"

In Xiao Yang's description, the Mage Hand expert questioned him in a somewhat confused and frustrated manner.

Xiao Yang didn't know how to explain this problem.

He felt that a somewhat strange pan-consciousness seemed to have been constructed on the rotting ground.

"The extraordinary in this world have their own unique circumstances and choices."

If you're pushing over those magical artifacts dug out of ruins.

"Okay, it works!"

This situation translates to the mature technology that Xiao Yang purchased.

"What? I don't know him!"

Even though they are essentially different applications of the same technology.

At least before the invasion of the evil god, this world was still relatively normal.

Xiao Yang unearthed the working principle of the magic streetlight from the ruins.

"It acknowledges this principle."

Xiao Yang purchased the manufacturing technology for the Magic Energy Light Bulb from outside the world.

"It refused."

The principles behind both technologies are the same.

What's the difference? They both use a special frequency to stimulate the light element, causing it to emit light actively.

The only difference is that the Magic Energy Streetlight has Magic Energy Bulbs installed on the streetlight itself.

In silence, Xiao Yang abandoned his research into the situation.

At the same time, he also abandoned the introduction of the technology of the heavens.

Ideally, this matter should be kept secret.

He didn't know what kind of thing he had discovered, but for now it was dutifully fulfilling its role as magical energy.

As the dark tide receded, Xiao Yang found another behemoth.

He has no intention of revealing his exploration of this behemoth to anyone.

"None of these will be problems."

"None of these will be major problems."

He knew about these strange things.

It's very pure; it must have crawled out of the sea of ​​the soul. This thing, as long as you don't try to understand it, don't look at it, or even just pretend not to look at it.

It will always be like this.

"Knowledge is indeed a curse to some extent."

Xiao Yang made such a sigh.

Suddenly, a notification popped up in the Gods game.

[Increase favorability by one for the "Foolish Brain" attribute]

This feels just right.

"Absolutely right!"
"Such blatant spying!"

Xiao Yang's lips twitched.

He raised his head and whispered stiffly.

At this moment, he resembled the unlucky player who had recently pulled a straight wooden stick from the treasure vault.

Against an overall backdrop of helplessness, he forced a smile, as if to say, "It's nothing."
