I built a floating city in the game.

"Yes, I'll be in charge of security."

Mo Bai nodded.

"Even though the weakest fighter in the association is providing security for the strongest fighter..."

Well, it's only right that I do odd jobs. It's impossible for the mage to do everything.

That's incredibly annoying.

Mo Bai stretched.

The mages he created did not have any weaknesses in close combat or physical fragility.

On the contrary, a qualified mage trains his physical strength several times or even dozens of times more than a warrior.

After all, the mage class directly encompasses the warrior class.

With the super-powerful computing ability provided by mental energy, mages can perform calculations at the highest speed in any situation, and can calculate all possible responses in close combat, making full use of all the advantages of their bodies.

In melee combat, he can absolutely crush most dedicated warriors.

In addition, mages also possess a range of spells, as well as the ability to create spell scrolls, enchanted equipment, and more for themselves.

Within the entire Mage Guild, the combat-focused execution department is indeed the weakest part.

Conversely, those in clerical positions are the strongest.

That makes sense, if it's not strong enough. So why is one a comfortable clerical job and the other a melee combat profession that does odd jobs?

So what if you can't outsmart them, and you can't beat them in a fight?

"Only those who cannot win are warriors; only those who win are qualified to be mages."

Mo Bai muttered to himself, then cracked his knuckles and easily pressed a fingerprint onto the iron armor in front of him.

If someone thinks he's weak in melee combat and tries to charge in at him despite his spells at all costs...

Then he'll have to give people a surprise.

Taste the mage's iron fist!

He nudged the blogger and then continued trying to inscribe magic arrays on the armor plates.

With a specially made iron skewer in hand, he painstakingly engraved fine lines onto the palm-sized iron armor plate, then kneaded bone powder mixed with pine resin onto it, and finally covered it with another layer of pine resin.

With a thought, a wisp of fire element surged into it, and the subtle patterns of the spell model gradually lit up.

"Buzz!"

Within a tiny spell model, a fireball faintly appeared.

"Yes, the power has been reduced a lot, but it can still be used when the number is stacked up."

However, it's so small that it can't store elemental power at all; it will dissipate immediately. We still need to store it elsewhere.

Mo Bai pondered as he overlapped the other piece of armor with this one, sandwiching the easily damaged magic array between them.

Then a tiny elemental pathway extended out.

When the armor plates are strung together on a piece of chainmail with a hemp rope, the elemental pathways surrounding the armor plates also connect with the elemental pathways of the other armor plates.

Each armor plate contains a miniature magic array, and the armor plate has a hexagonal structure like a honeycomb, with elemental pathways connecting to each other around the edge.

Looking around, one can see that the honeycombs are interconnected and linked together, forming a cluster of hundreds of miniature magic arrays.

All the miniature magic arrays are interconnected, but the damage to any one of them will not affect the entire array cluster. Repairing them only requires replacing the damaged part.

This chainmail suit is an experiment in constructing a magic array cluster.

Fireball and Water Shield spells coexist in clusters within the magic array.

The two types of magic array clusters interweave with each other, but do not interfere with each other.

When Mo Bai embedded a fire element crystal core and a water element crystal core into the pre-reserved interface on the breastplate of the chainmail.

"Buzz!"

Fire and water elements flowed, and one magic circle after another appeared on the entire iron armor. The magic circles hummed and undulated, creating a dazzling spectacle that instantly transformed this seemingly ordinary chainmail into a magical garment.

However, when Mo Bai activated his mental power and cut off the switch, the entire chainmail instantly became ordinary again.

"We finally succeeded."

Mo Bai grinned slightly, feeling incredibly comfortable.

"I'll never do this kind of chainmail again. It's troublesome to engrave, troublesome to wax, troublesome to overlap, troublesome to make... I'll never do it again."

However, despite saying that, he was still filled with a sense of accomplishment when he looked at the armor.

This is what he meant by mage enchanted equipment.

Enchant equipment with magic circles to add magical effects to the equipment.

For example, Stone Skin on the shield, Sharpness on the blade, Water Shield on the jade pendant, Fireball on the breastplate, and so on.

A properly enchanted piece of equipment undoubtedly enhances combat power.

"But then again, the palm pulse version of the Fire Resistance Ring has a strong impact, so can it be used in other areas?"

for example....."

"engine?"

Mo Bai had a sudden thought.

If we could pinpoint the internal combustion engine technology, the driving force of industrial civilization, then many technologies in reality could be transferred to the present.

"For example... spell scroll printing?"

"Forging enchanted plate armor blanks?"

"Hmm, we can try to do it in the water too, we can give it a shot."

As for internal combustion engines, perhaps they could be used to build an entire war machine.

The heavy steel armor is engraved with defensive spells, and when combined with the small elemental pool on mobile devices, powerful fireball or wind blade spells are specially designed.

That would allow them to completely dominate the battlefield.

One thought after another flashed through Mo Bai's mind.

They even envisioned a machine that could walk upright on two legs...

In reality, it cannot be manufactured due to limitations in material strength and energy, but in the game, there are many ways to accomplish it using extraordinary technology.

Materials can be enhanced using spells that last for extended periods.

Energy, putting aside everything else, as long as there are enough crystal nuclei, what kind of energy source wouldn't be enough?

Even if we just miniaturize the element pool and move it up there, what energy wouldn't be enough?

Mechs might be able to be built.

What?

You're saying that compared to tanks, humanoid mechs are actually not very practical except for looking cool? They're all show and no substance?

In reality, there's nothing wrong with you saying that, and I won't nitpick.

But in the extraordinary world of games... isn't being cool enough?

Mo Bai took a deep breath, looked at Yang Hao, Fang Yun and the others who were so busy that they hadn't had any sleep, and tapped his fingers slightly.

We are hiring.

"The Mage Association has now established a basic framework, so it can officially start recruiting."

"It's not just limited to the guild, or even just limited to Oaktown."

Anyone who meets the requirements, possesses research and development capabilities, and meets the basic requirements for becoming a mage can be recruited.

The mage profession needs people, and the mage association also needs people.

After making the decision, Mo Bai immediately summoned Ye Qing and Zhou Lin to prepare for its implementation, and they already had a draft of the assessment questions in mind.

However, at this moment, Ye Qing suddenly paused slightly, logged off for a moment, and then came back online with a slightly serious expression.

"Brother Mo, something bad has happened."

"Luo Long from the Dragon Soaring Guild just called to tell me that, according to their inside information in the Big Axe Gang..."

Because of the powerful figure who sent the envoy, and because some players had previously reported us, the Big Axe Gang is now preparing to take action against us.
