The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

This player's ID is "Amateur Welder".

His message was also very simple.

[@Attack of Salty Fish, what do you think of this? [Image]]

The image shows a tank with a low, streamlined silhouette, covered in dark gray composite armor, and equipped with a miniature array of reverse-type camouflage scanners along its edges, giving it a futuristic, sci-fi feel.

If I remember correctly, this thing is the Mirage Tank from Red Alert.

If that were all there was to it, the attacking salted fish wouldn't have paid so much attention.

The problem is that this thing is actually a remote-controlled model.

This immediately piqued the interest of the attacking saltwater fish.

So he immediately opened the private chat interface and sent a message.

[Attack of the Salted Fish: Bro, did you handcraft this Mirage Tank?]

[Amateur welder: That's right, I like to make these little things in my spare time.]

[The Attacking Salty Fish: Wow, bro, to be honest, this thing is perfect for us.]

[Amateur Welder: This was printed out using 3D printing. It contains a complete set of detailed blueprints that I designed, including various parts, such as engines. In the game, it should be possible to use other methods to replace them.]

Of course, if you want to build the engine by hand, I can provide a solution for that as well.

Upon seeing the news about the amateur welder, the advancing salted fish was also quite shocked.

This isn't amateur, this is clearly professional.

[Attack of the Salty Fish: That's a good idea, bro. We'll adopt your plan. Once you're in the game, we'll give you the reward.]

[Alternatively, you can contact Feng Xiaoxiao. I'll tell him the situation; he's a tycoon, and he can directly cash out your share.]

However, the other party's answer surprised Salty Fish.

[Amateur Welder: I've also filled out the application form, and I should be able to get a spot next time. So I need game coins, but 500 game coins is definitely not enough; I need at least 2000.]

This price startled even the aggressive salted fish.

Based on the current in-game currency exchange rate, that's almost 1.

"This coin is really asking for an exorbitant price."

[Amateur welder: Don't think I'm asking for too much. I dare to ask for so much because I have my reasons. First of all, with my blueprints, it will be very easy for you to build this thing.]

Secondly, I have some knowledge of this stuff and can guide you on the details of its manufacturing, such as combining magic from the game or other special materials to enhance this tank.

[I've even come up with several related plans. If you're willing to cooperate, I guarantee that the tanks you build, in terms of combat capability and everything else, will be far superior to what you expect.]

Upon hearing what the amateur welder said, the aggressive salted fish, who had initially wanted to refuse, hesitated.

To be honest, they were completely clueless about how to make this thing, and they were afraid that the thing they made would fall apart after only a few uses.

With professional guidance, the allure of salted fish is undeniable.

[The Attacking Salty Fish: Wait for me a bit, I'll go online and ask the others.]

Since everyone will eventually have to contribute to this cost, Salty Fish decided to seek the opinions of others.

Not long after, in the game.

"2000 is too many."

"Yes, Salty Fish, have you ever thought that although it seems like we can each get two thousand, it wouldn't really matter if we took a little out?"

"But in reality, we have to calculate battle losses. Resurrection in this game isn't free; each resurrection costs one magic coin."

"And if you bring Moses the Earth Dragon along, do you think he'll help us without you spending some money?"

"These things all cost money, and in the end, we might only get a little over 1000 each."

Hearing the discussion, the attacking salted fish pondered for a while.

"Brothers, I know what you're saying, but have you ever thought about it? If we could really build an incredible tank, it wouldn't just be useful now, it would be extremely useful to us in the future."

"This is a long-term investment."

Thus, the players had differing opinions, but after some discussion, they finally decided to agree.

As the salted fish said, such a powerful weapon is a long-term investment, not a one-time thing.

Besides, everyone contributed to this tank, and everyone can share in the profits from it when we go out. Thinking about it this way, the price of 20 gold coins per person is not unacceptable.

After finalizing the plan, the players got busy.

The process begins with the advancing salted fish and the amateur welder communicating various details.

For example, what materials are they currently able to obtain? How should the entire manufacturing workshop be operated? What modules are needed to assemble the tank, and how should they be assembled?

Is the tank's armor a single piece, or is it made in a specific way?

Of course, the players' commotion also caught Lilith's attention.

"What are those Pataas doing now?"

It seems that these strange Pata have suddenly become very busy, and they are often transporting all sorts of random ores.

Even more outrageous, they even built a forging furnace.

"Is this something... Pata can do?"

"No... I should say, how do these 'pats' master these things?"

It's important to know that even succubi learned these skills from humans over a very long period of time.

Lilith couldn't understand how these Pata managed to control all of this in this dark and gloomy dungeon.

Lilith even felt that the forges made by these Pata were better than those made by the succubi!

Lilith had no idea what method these Pata had used to smelt and forge various metal ores using electric magic.

"Huh? Shouldn't this be done with fire magic?"

Since the players got busy, Lilith has been spending almost every day perched on the wall outside their so-called military base, checking on what's going on inside.

Lilith was incredibly curious about these Pata.

........

Compared to the other players, the man with the watermelon knife above his head and the other nine players he brought were all in a state of great worry.

In a cave not far from them was a huge earth dragon with bright, deep purple scales, a slender and winding body, long neck and limbs, and a pair of narrow wings.

It is none other than the neighbor that players are talking about, the earth dragon Moses.

Moses is actually a subspecies of Deep Dragon, but because it lives in dungeons, players usually call it Earth Dragon Moses.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to the cave behind him, swallowing hard as he held the watermelon knife above his head.

Immediately afterwards, a panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Moses

Age: 671

[Faction: Chaotic Evil]

[Race: Dragon (Dragon) - Deep Dragon Subspecies]

[Level: LV ? ? ?]

[Vitality: ? ? ? ? ?]

[Magic Power: ??? ten thousand]

Attack Power: ???, Defense: ???, Agility: ???, Spirit: ???

【种族技能：龙威LV7-腐化吐息LV8-深渊凝视LV8-龙之怒LV8-龙之契约LV8-龙语魔法LV8】

This is the nature of Moses.

Especially seeing that almost all the skills are question marks and are all level 8, it's no exaggeration to say that Moses's strength is beyond doubt.

"You're all so quick to talk, asking me to get the scales of the earth dragon Moses. You make it sound so easy."

"I'll risk my life for this!"

He was on the verge of tears, even with a watermelon knife hanging over his head, but he still had to find a way to solve the problem.

After all, he also has a stake in the tank project.
