Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

However, the purchasing power of the disaster coin on the Zongwang network is quite solid. One disaster coin can be exchanged for 50 grams of gold from the merchant Angilent, which means that he now has real assets equivalent to half a pound of gold.

[Picking up trash makes me happy] The purchase price of scrap offered to Lin Bo is three Type IV Mechanical Guards in exchange for one disaster coin.

It is said that things are valuable because they are rare. There are many such miscellaneous soldiers in this copy, so the price is naturally not high.

However, [Garbage Pickup] also offers another service: for 15 Disaster Coins, he can repair a scrapped mechanical guard and transfer control to Lin Bo. This is equivalent to spending money to buy a robot follower.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Does the network allow players to bring their own followers?

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Yes, the degree of freedom in the online world is much higher than you imagined. Many players who have already mastered the real power of the local world will form armed teams to go to dungeons for themselves.

[Lighthouse Visitor]: Won’t there be any punishment for doing this?

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Everyone has different ways of playing the same game. You can't accuse people of being wrong just because their way of playing sounds "evil". Zongwang is inclusive of all types of players.

[Lighthouse Visitor]: So will you drive a mechanical army into the map to kill monsters?

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Hehe

Lin Bo understood. He certainly didn't think that unconventional ways of playing were wrong. On the contrary, he believed that unconventional ways of playing often reflected the most creative side of the player community.

He then asked the businessman, "Are there any cheap and easy-to-use general skills?"

Agilent responded enthusiastically: "Yes, brother, we have. I can tell you're a newcomer at first glance. You're overwhelmed by the variety of general skills, right? Let me help you. What I'm saying is, when you choose something, don't you first think about your needs?"

"What do new players lack the most? Rampant combat power? Powerful equipment? None of them! What they truly lack is always time. Eating takes time, sleeping takes time, chatting with family takes time. How can you find enough time for practice?

"So here, I strongly recommend Meditation as your first general skill. Any meditation skill can significantly shorten the time you spend sleeping and resting, helping you squeeze out more time for training and learning."

The current version of the comprehensive network is worthy of being the dawn of the diligent. Even the vendors are encouraging hard work. This trend of internal competition has even spread to online shopping platforms. It can be seen that hard work and proficiency are indeed the consensus of the majority of players in the multiverse.

Lin Bo really thought that what the businessman said was right.

He has a harpoon gun in his hand, and his current combat power is just enough. He does not need to rush to learn general combat skills. Once he develops professional skills, his combat power will definitely be significantly improved.

So while purchasing general combat skills may seem to solve the immediate problem, it actually wastes early development time. Investing in auxiliary skills paves the way for the future.

“Aside from meditation, are there any other things you recommend?”

Agilent remained enthusiastic: "As a player on the online game, you can't ignore the support of the real world. One or two life skills can help you gain a foothold in the real world, gain fame, wealth, and power, and help you collect more reverberation relics."

"Makes sense."

"Of course that makes sense, so I recommend you choose a life skill based on your current occupation. Medicine, blacksmithing, planting, and animal taming—these four major skill categories and their countless branches are classic development paths that will never go out of style in the multiverse."

"Thank you. I'll think about it."

Lin Bo thought that the True Name Mage's spell system included healing spells, which, combined with medical skills such as pharmacy and surgery, was enough to make him a medical expert who could fight death freely in the eyes of mortals.

As a lighthouse keeper, it is also a good choice to farm, work as a blacksmith, and tame some pets to help in battle in your spare time.

He can choose any of these four development paths. Since the choice is difficult, of course he wants them all.

"Unfortunately, I'm stuck at no point right now because I'm broke. The cheapest meditation skill starts at ten Disaster Coins. I'd better just go to the dungeon and work hard."

Lin Bo checked the copy strategy shared on the channel.

The only difference between normal difficulty and easy difficulty is that the number of enemies increases from one to three, two of which are armed melee guards and one is a gun-wielding ranged guard.

Suggestion: "These robots are separated by a distance and their aggro is not linked, so the best way is to use the terrain to lure the melee robots away first, deal with them separately, and then deal with the ranged ones last.

"PS: If you think the dungeon is too difficult, just ask for help in the channel. We won't spoil them. There's no shame in recruiting teammates. Helping each other is the only way for players on the network to grow."

Lin Bo pulled the harpoon from the damaged robot's chest, checked its wear and tear, and then reloaded it.

[Selected copy - Abandoned ancient machinery factory]

[Current Difficulty: Normal]

[Opening the dungeon portal, players please be prepared]

A deep purple space-time vortex appeared, and Lin Bo stepped in again.

Chapter 3: Mechanic's Windbreaker, Modified Electromagnetic Rifle

[Network Tip: You've performed a critical attack, passed! The enemy (Bionic Mechanical Shooter III) has fallen.]

Lin Bo pulled out the axe, and the broken neck of the red-painted shooter robot burst into sparks and then fell to the ground.

A thrilling dungeon challenge, but the time spent was more than twenty times that of the simple difficulty.

He spent half an hour dealing with the three robots. The whole process was one of chase and escape, but he finally managed to capture them without any injuries.

Mechanical Guard: I encountered a marathon and was speechless.

[The conditions for clearing the instance have been met, and rewards are being calculated.]

[Rewards for this dungeon: 15 Disaster Coins, 100 General Experience, Mechanic's Windbreaker (Gray)]

After painstakingly dragging the wreckage of the three-headed machine out of the portal, Lin Bo finally had time to check the new equipment in his backpack.

Mechanic's Windbreaker (Gray)

Type: Textile technology products

Weight: 1.1 kg

Equipment effect: When training mechanical related skills, basic proficiency +0.1

Description: Legend has it that this was once the preferred clothing of many researchers in the mechanical factory, and it was widely praised for its practical and fashionable design. Probably no one would consider it formal armor.

In ancient times, a piece of clothing, or even a piece of cloth, could be considered a household possession, just like how modern people view refrigerators and mobile phones.

Even though the Kening Empire where Lin Bo lived had already entered the early stages of the Second Industrial Revolution, for many working-class families, buying a piece of clothing that was genuine, suitable, sturdy and durable would require the couple to discuss it for several nights.

At least Limbaugh rarely considers buying new clothes until he has worn out all his old ones.

He took out a mechanic's windbreaker, with a gray-black color, a crisp shape, and six outer pockets and four inner pockets that all men would fall in love with at first sight. It made people wonder if this coat could hold all the belongings in its pockets.

No wonder it is considered to be critically acclaimed.

The equipment produced by the Zongwang has a hidden effect on players, which is to adapt to body shape, so Lin Bo felt that it fit him very well after putting it on.

[Abandoned Ancient Machinery Factory] has unlocked a higher difficulty level.

The rewards for clearing the level are also more generous, including 50 network disaster coins, 300 general experience points, gray quality equipment (medium probability), white quality equipment (extremely low probability), and knowledge fragments (extremely low probability).

Lin Bo sorted out his current belongings, 20 disaster coins, 125 general experience points, and the current progress bar for the mage profession level is 125/450, which is almost one-third complete.

"Normal difficulty is still acceptable, and the rewards are relatively high. It's absolutely impossible to conquer Hard difficulty on your own. I'd better stick with Normal difficulty for the next few days. I can level up as early as tomorrow, and save money to buy skills."

He sent a message to Agilent, a merchant on the Internet, asking to buy a meditation skill book.

"Meditation skills vary greatly, and there are many tendencies. Some focus on restoring the spirit, some can speed up the body's healing, and some can suppress desire and murderous intent. You need to choose according to your own profession." Agilent is definitely an excellent shopping guide.

Lin Bo followed the guidance of the shopping guide and picked out a book called "Black Snake Meditation" for 18 disaster coins.

[Network Tip: The friend trading channel is opening, and the portal opening countdown is in progress...]

buzz-

This time it was a sea-blue vortex portal, and a rolled-up black parchment scroll came out of it and landed in front of Lin Bo.

Black Snake Meditation

Description: Ancient spellcasters of the Hailu School valued learning from nature. Their ancestors saw the secret of the connection between life and spirit in the hibernating snakes of winter—a unity between the fragile body and the silent mind.

Black Snake Meditation: Lv1 (0/50) Fall into a deep sleep and quickly boost your spirits.

Lin Bo unfolded the scroll, and the entire parchment turned into a stream of light, flowing into his brow.

A large number of key points for cultivation emerged in his mind, and with a cool current running through his body, he had unknowingly completed the introduction to the Black Snake Meditation Technique and could train on his own.

It’s still early for bedtime and Lin Bo still has to work the night shift.

Before officially starting his work as a lighthouse keeper tonight, he planned to play another normal difficulty dungeon to use up his challenge times for today.

The harpoon gun bought from the pawnshop on Old Street is very useful, but two harpoons are damaged. After all, these robots are made of iron, and every time the armor is penetrated, it causes serious wear and tear on the harpoon.

He now has a new long-range weapon - the electromagnetic projectile gun in the hands of the Bionic Mechanical Shooter III.

This high-tech weapon is very lightweight, has a high rate of fire and almost negligible recoil, and uses easily processed metal projectiles, which have great advantages over powder-loaded bullets.

The only problem is that this gun does not have its own battery pack and needs to be powered by the robot's power core.

So if you want to use it, you have to modify it.

【Network Tips: Received a friend message】

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: By the way, if you kill the mechanical shooter and want to use the cool shooting gun in its hand, you can ask me to modify it.

[Lighthouse Visitor]: I now doubt that you can predict the future.

[Garbage Pickup]: Hehe, you're so good at talking. I'll give you a friendly price. For 1 disaster coin, I'll give you a sturdy electromagnetic gun that's guaranteed to be as good as a new one.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Thank you.

The three Mechanical Guardian IVs can be exchanged for one disaster coin at [Garbage Pickup], which can be used to directly offset the modification fee. The remaining Archer III will also be sent there as a gift, and will be disassembled into eight pieces, and the power core will be taken out and installed on the gun body.

[Picking up garbage]: The time flow rate in our two worlds is different, especially the offline state of the Zongwang chat channel. It takes a few days for me, but you can wait for a few hours and receive the goods.

[Lighthouse Guest]: I have learned a lot

After completing the [Abandoned Ancient Machinery Factory] for the third time, all four harpoons that Lin Bo had bought were sacrificed gloriously. The blacksmith shop in the town had long since closed down, so they could not be repaired locally.

Today's copy harvest statistics, 225 general experience points, 17 remaining comprehensive network disaster coins, a cool and practical mechanic windbreaker, and a modified electromagnetic projectile gun.

After the modification of [Picking up trash makes me happy], the electromagnetic gun has obtained the equipment recognition of the comprehensive network. It not only displays some key information, but can also be put into the player's backpack, greatly improving the portability.

Modified standard electromagnetic rifle (gray)

Type: Engineering product

Weight: 3.5 kg

Description: Originally designed by mechanics for the Bionic Guardian, this module has been modified by players to function independently of the main unit. A full charge allows it to fire sixty high-speed projectiles. The modder thoughtfully included a voltage transformer and current regulator, allowing it to charge even in poor grid conditions.

Speed ​​is power, power is aesthetics! —Modifier's message

The whole gun, when erected, is level with Lin Bo's waist. The gun body is like a rectangular box, with compactly arranged electromagnetic acceleration coils on both sides of the barrel. The welds have been polished, and there are cartoon-style graffiti on the white painted buttstock.

While the overall design is full of technology, it also has a punk feel due to the funny and cute graffiti.

The lighthouse has a whale oil generator to power the Fresnel lens bulb. As the administrator, no one cares if Lin Bo steals some electricity.

As for the bullets used in electromagnetic guns, you can find the merchant Agilent. One disaster coin can buy 500 bullets. Even this is considered a profiteer, after all, it is just a bunch of small iron balls without any enchantment.
