Chapter 193: Faction Battle Plan, Lv3 Mantra Illusion
[Network Tip: Player "Lighthouse Guest (Fairy)" uploaded a public file]

[Starry Eyes (Fairy)]: Wow, Mage, we are in the same camp!

[Hungry Leopard is Coming (Fairy)]: You made a dictionary so quickly, thank you for your hard work, sir.

Lin Bo and the Soul-Calling Witch chatted in the channel. [Starry Eyes] told about her experience of running the map this time. She completed six tasks and gradually increased the faction's friendship value. Finally, she was entrusted with an extremely difficult task. Unfortunately, she did not have enough time and was forced to exit the dungeon before completing it.

At this time, another message popped up, and the online players in the channel started to chat.

[Cold Rain (Necromancer)]: Are you interested in a 30-player raid? I'm looking for affixes for the raid.
[Skeleton Farming Expert (Necromancer)]: What exactly is that? A 30-player team, the difficulty must be incredibly high, right?

[Tombstone Wipe (Necromancer)]: This dungeon has three camps, and each camp has ten players. They team up to enter the map together. In this way, the plot forces of the three parties will be strengthened simultaneously, and no one will suffer. Everyone can complete the task based on their own ability.
Some enthusiastic old players explained to newcomers who have not tried affix copies and faction group battles that in multiplayer teams, the strength of non-friendly factions will be enhanced based on the number of players in each faction, rather than calculating the difficulty based on the total number of players.

When the number of players in a single camp reaches ten or more, the probability of mutation in the dungeon is very high, and the resulting affixes will also enhance the plot power of non-friendly camps.

[Dragon Devil Madman (Holy War)]: If you don't understand, why do we have to fight in a group? Wouldn't the losing player be miserable? If you want to farm affixes, can't you just find teammates on the same faction?

[Tombstone Scrape (Undead)]: Because the enemy camp players can enhance their own allies, otherwise when entering the dungeon, the camp allies may have been almost chopped down by the enhanced enemies.
[Tailor (Necromancer)]: Yes, the difficulty of the affix dungeon is too high. Without the help of local forces, it is almost impossible to clear the Purgatory level. The purpose of the team battle is to create a relatively fair environment. As for losses, they are inevitable. Try not to cause casualties. At worst, the losing faction will gain less.

After [Cold Rain] sent out the recruitment message, it took quite a while to gather enough teammates. It was said that this was the first time a team battle had been held in this dungeon channel, which was quite commemorative. The public screen was abuzz with discussion, with everyone speculating which faction would ultimately win.

Lin Bo regretted that he didn't join in the fun.

He and the Soul-Calling Witch agreed to run a map together next week to see if they could get together for a faction battle, and then he exited the chat interface.

It took five hours to smelt the Feather Scale Star Steel, and it was already late at night when these scarred steel balls were finally condensed into intact ingots.

Lin Bo recently planned to install an elevator directly to the lighthouse from the workshop, making it easier to travel to and from Titan. After assessing the foundation to ensure it would not damage the lighthouse's load-bearing structure and carefully mapping out the engineering design, construction began.

At the same time, he is also preparing to lay submarine cables, which is also a considerable project.

Since the Life Control Technique reached Level 2, rock excavation has become much easier. No longer needing to search for cracks and fissures, one can simply manipulate the rocks to separate. An elevator shaft can be completed in just an hour or two, though installing the elevator later takes much longer.

As for laying submarine cables, it is an even bigger project.

Lin Bo plans to place an order on the Duolian Duoyi platform to purchase qualified cables.

When it comes to the construction phase, he also needs to dive into the sea to explore the seabed and calculate the length of the cable required from the cave to the cape.

In addition, to be on the safe side, it is best to dig grooves on the seabed in shallow waters so that the cables can be buried in them to avoid being scratched by trawl nets and anchors of passing ships.

Lin Bo can manipulate the seawater away from him to create a cavity, so he can move in the sea, but this method is still quite laborious. He plans to build a simple and practical diving device to facilitate underwater operations.

Of course, it is possible to buy a submarine directly on the trading platform, but he does not actually need professional ship equipment. He only needs a strong and reliable iron shell that can withstand water pressure. There is no need to install a power system. If it is not used, it can be disassembled quickly so that it will not be left to gather dust and rust.

Coming out of the underground workshop, he stood in the courtyard. The late-night north wind howled beneath the cape sky, rustling the night watchman's coat. The damp chill stripped the warmth from his ears and fingertips, leaving a faint laugh in Lin Bo's ear.

These frigid air masses, having swept all the way from the northern lands of the bountiful continent, had already foreshadowed their arrival to the monk, and now, having traversed a long journey, they had faithfully arrived. In a few days, the tail end of autumn would freeze over, and winter would soon descend upon the Sail Islands. This was a busy season for stockpiling oil and firewood, pickling vegetables for winter, and smoking poultry, livestock, and fish. Lin Bo exhaled a faint puff of white breath into the air and continued on his way to the East Cliff Grottoes for construction, according to the schedule.

The seagulls preparing to hibernate have gathered in the caves, which is warmer than their northern habitats. However, without thick winter feathers, they will still be frozen to death in the cold wave.

The super seagulls that had been transplanted with mimicking mycelium had put on thick brown and yellow clothes in the blink of an eye, as if they were wearing down jackets, and their bodies had become fatter.

To ensure a fertile winter, you need to heat your mushroom garden and provide ample biomass. Mushrooms are not picky eaters, so feeding them wood will keep them well fed. The fertilizer produced in the [Botanical Garden] instance is plentiful, so sprinkling some occasionally can replenish the nutrients they need.

Lin Bo planned to use the Gene Weaver this winter to improve some high-yield crops and make them widely available before spring. The crops in the [Botanical Garden] instance all grew strangely and weren't suitable for direct use. It would be more appropriate to transform the native crops of the Sail Islands to better suit their local conditions.

Before dawn, Lin Bo had been building the computer room. The most important ventilation, dust removal and cooling systems had been installed, and the rest was just decoration work.

When we returned to the lighthouse, the howling cold wind from last night had died down, and a drizzling autumn rain began to fall again.

Most of today's visitors have put on more clothes. There are also patients from poor families who are still wearing thin clothes. They go into the warm lighthouse and their bodies no longer shiver after being wet in the rain.

Iron One, disguised as a red-haired baboon, was wearing an old blanket today, while Lin Bo changed into the white woolen sweater he had made.

Visitors entering the lighthouse are first greeted by the sight of baboons wearing blankets. Even if they are familiar with the animals that live in the lighthouse, they are still taken aback.

"Wow, this big guy with fur all over his body can also feel cold?" the visitor asked curiously.

"It's just pretending." Lin Bo smiled and shook his head.

[Skill check successful... [Mantra Illusion] Proficiency +4.4]

In the past, these neighbors were already used to it, so they rarely provided illusion proficiency. But today, they carefully observed the baboon and could not find any flaws, so the skill judgment was triggered again.

That evening, after bidding farewell to the townspeople, tourists and believers, the lighthouse returned to peace.

"Upgrade." Lin Bo sat behind the table on the first floor, bathed in the light. Outside the open door opposite him was the dark dusk.
