"Okay, the intelligence level of the first layer isn't enough to stop me. The good news is that I can seize their computing power for my own use."

With each level up, the intelligent core on the lower level can provide Lamia with data assistance.

Chapter 316: Meeting psychological needs.

"Come to think of it, with the technological level of this mechanical city, there shouldn't be a need for human miners. Why are there so many miners down there?"

"To give the ordinary people on the first level a sense of superiority, and the first level exists to give the second level this feeling, and so on and so forth. Humans need to satisfy their vanity, and some within them need to satisfy empathy, so they establish resistance organizations."

Lamia investigated some of the intelligence about the Mechanical City and concluded that the clear class division must be to satisfy psychological needs. There is a special energy system outside the Mechanical City, but mages are strictly prohibited from entering the city.

According to the information, the entire mechanical city can actually enter the stage of full mechanical automation. Artificial humans and highly artificial intelligence will act as "citizens" in the city and will not need to engage in physical labor at all.

Then the only demand brought about by exploiting one's own kind is psychological.

"Does the high artificial intelligence in the mechanical city have a soul like Lamia, Daisy?"

Speaking of this world where the earth is round and the sky is square, Lu Yan was curious whether there were mechanical creatures in other universes that were born with souls. Daisy withdrew her gaze and denied her master's speculation:

"No, at least none of the machines I've seen on this floor have souls. At most, they mimic actions and emotions."

After waving their hands to kill the approaching runaway machines, the three of them came to the huge suspended magnetic ladder leading to the second floor. Silver-level enemies appeared nearby, most of them were machines, and a small number were cyborgs.

[Warning! Warning! No outsiders are allowed to approach the ladder. Violators...]

The piercing sound was irritating. Lamia snapped her fingers to display the data she had prepared in advance, and the monsters that were about to attack stood still.

After confirming that the three of them were geniuses who were going to ascend to the second floor, the monsters made way for them, allowing them to stand on the magnetic ladder. As the energy fluctuated, the entire platform shook slightly, and then they were sucked higher into the sky.

The platform accelerated, but the three people on the platform did not feel the pressure of gravity. When they got closer to the clouds, Lu Yan realized that those were not clouds, but extremely real projections.

Only where the magnetic ladder is located can you truly see the sky.

"The mechanical city is layered, and the sky can only be seen at the edge of the city or along this entire ascending route."

Lamia explained at the right time, a large amount of data flashing in her eyes. She had already connected to the second-level network and began to modify the second-level information about their identities.

Doing so would save a lot of trouble and allow the three of them to ascend to the area near the top floor as quickly as possible.

Two hours later, the mechanical city reached the third floor from top to bottom.

Lu Yan stood in the third-level city where 80% of the area was occupied by alloys. He shook the rose-scented motor oil in his hand, threw it on the ground, and looked at the slightly messy environment around him.

At this moment, he was sitting in a bar with the cards, and with the cover of the bar, he successfully avoided the enemy's pursuit.

The data tampering was very smooth in the following layers. By the third layer, Lamia finally encountered an enemy that was equally matched with her in terms of data, computing power, and intrusion.

After fighting with the artificial intelligence several times, the main brain intelligence realized that it was being slowly suppressed by Lamia, and sent out all its troops, intending to destroy them on the physical level.

The higher the level, the stronger the monsters are. They are all elite. An ordinary monster passing by has at least the strength of Bronze 3 stars. At the same time, the number of monsters is also much smaller.

The third floor was a state of complete mobilization. After the main brain gave the order, everyone on this floor received the order at once and launched an attack on Lu Yan and the other two.

With the help of computing power from several layers below, Lamia, who was able to handle the situation with ease for the time being, chose a relatively remote bar and created a vacuum zone there. After Lu Yan annihilated the internal enemies, no other monsters would come over and they would just subconsciously ignore the bar.

At this moment, her real body was held in Lu Yan's arms, and her consciousness was engaged in a thrilling battle in the data space. Only special monsters with the same data roaming ability could see how fierce the battle was.

Another hour passed, and Lamia opened her eyes, still full of energy. On the contrary, Lu Yan rubbed his temples, and his soul energy replenished all the energy lost by the maid.

Even though Lamia didn't take any action just now, in order to control all the computing power she could control, the energy she consumed was no less than that of a full-scale battle.

"Master, I'm done. I can go to the second floor now. I've also found the information I need. I can confirm that the Heart of Eternal Freeze is on the second floor, in the hands of Fang Tang, the strongest person on the second floor, the [War Fortress]."

"Can we get rid of him by using data intrusion?"

[War Fortress] abandoned its speed and evasion capabilities and transformed itself into a giant fortress, maximizing its defense and lethality, with all its computing power being used to control weapons.

His main body is a giant alloy building. Normally, he only uses clones to move around. Once he encounters an enemy, his data will return to the super alloy structure and cut off contact with the outside world, achieving an airtight and absolute defense.

"No, we can only find a way to fight our way in from the outside. It should be a tough battle."

"Okay, let's go."

After leaving the bar, the monsters stared at them hungrily, but did not continue to attack, with a hint of unwillingness in their eyes.

As Lamia completely mastered this level, the monsters that were looking for them gradually returned to normal. With the main brain being completely controlled and suppressed, Lamia was barely able to prevent them from attacking her and others.

If we take the initiative, they will still react and fight back. They are not completely controlled by the main brain. Each of them has his or her own personality and program.

We walked up the magnetic ladder again, ascending at a faster speed. The sky became brighter and the temperature rose significantly.

They were rising to the top of Kayu, where there was a huge sun close to the world of the round earth.

The magnetic elevator ran at a speed close to the speed of sound, and when it soared to a position 100 kilometers above the normal ground, it slowly stopped again, and an almost complete steel town appeared in front of it.

boom!

As soon as the magnetic elevator stopped, a high-temperature energy beam with a radius of 100 meters shot out from the largest and tallest circular fortress, destroying all buildings and objects on the way, and arrived in front of Lu Yan across a distance of tens of thousands of meters.

The place where they were originally standing was completely destroyed, and the aftermath of the explosion spread nearly a thousand meters. Lu Yan glanced at it and no longer paid attention to it. He raised his hand to summon Feng Xi, and the four of them dispersed and approached the behemoth.

The gathered energy beams also separated, and countless thumb-thick rays surrounded the four people, leaving some marks of being hit on their bodies or shields.

Chapter 317 Giant Killer.

"If the energy beam had hit, it would have destroyed my first layer of defense. Now that it's separated, the effect isn't very good."

Lu Yan confirmed the damage, dodged, and used his spiritual sense to connect with everyone and talk.

The biggest problem is how to break through the huge iron shell. The shell must be at least 800 meters high.

[Can kill.]

Before Lamia could speak, Daisy, who had been staring at the large iron shell, suddenly spoke:

[The entire building is his body. I can see his soul clinging to the iron shell, lacking the necessary soul protection.]

"Really, that would be great."

Knowing that the war fortress was considered the enemy's body, Lu Yan drew out the Bodhi Sword, wrapped energy around it, and stretched the sword body with the help of materialized energy. However, it was still much smaller than the entire fortress.

[Lamia, Fengxi, you two will be responsible for providing support and attracting his attention. Fengxi and I will be responsible for the main attack.]

The two responded. Feng Xi, who was still under intelligent control and had not yet switched to manual control, was rather stiff. Under Lu Yan's command, he drew out the Hanhu Sword and began to accumulate power with a sinister smile.

[Five Organs Method] [Nine Flower Sutra] [Seven Stars Shining] [Heavenly Thunder Vein] [Five Qi as Root]…

Various special effects and buffs were superimposed on her body, making her whole body glow. The energy fluctuations made the War Fortress focus most of its attention on her.

Dragon, tiger, petals, moonlight, thunder, black and yellow flames, basically all the necessary elements are present. Under Fengxi's control, various elements are condensed into a dark yellow ball, turning into pure petals condensed by moonlight, wrapped around the sword blade.

【Flying flowers chasing the moon】!

Swinging the sword from a distance of thousands of meters, an energy blade as tall as his body tore through the air and flew out. During the flight, it was released from the compressed state, rapidly expanded, and finally became a sword energy that was thousands of meters high, taller than a fortress.

The thickness was only about the size of a piece of paper, and the side could even reflect the image of the city. Even so, it was not easily destroyed by the energy beam. It rushed towards the fortress with unstoppable momentum, trying to split it in two.

The card masters who were plowing through the ground and quietly moving on the second floor couldn't help but curse: "Woc, who is doing this!?"

"Hiss, moon-colored petal sword energy, could it be Lu Yan?"

"Look over there!"

There were naturally people on the second floor, but unlike Lu Yan, they did not come up directly. Instead, they hid and came to the second floor through other magical cards.

Some are resident cards, and some are stealth skills.

The sharp-eyed card artist saw a few small dots floating in the air in the distance, took out a high-definition telescopic camera to capture the blurry shadows, and confirmed who was causing the huge impact.

"It really is the Disaster Chaser. This is too strong. Is he a 5-star or 6-star card master? No, that card can't be as powerful as a 7-star gold card master."

"The Security Bureau's data says he's still a 4-star, but I'm not sure about the card."

Such a big thing happened in Liuhuo City. Ordinary people may not understand it very well and can only get some information from the Internet. Card masters are different. They have more intelligence channels and have figured out the general situation.

Lu Yan caught the attention of many local card masters. They couldn't help but gasp when they saw the kilometer-long sword blade. They took pictures of it in excitement and posted them online.

However, something even more frightening was yet to come. Lamia waved her hands, pressing her left hand on her right forearm, and stretched out her right hand to change the armor. The liquid alloy stretched and expanded, transforming into a giant cannon muzzle.

Without using the floating gun, what Fengxi did was enough to attract most of the firepower. She raised the muzzle of the gun and condensed an energy sphere the size of a fist in front of her, which changed from red to yellow, yellow to white, and finally to blue.

The sphere vibrated violently, and the alloy at the muzzle melted. Feng Xi then fired the plasma cannon. The sphere that had separated from the stabilizer also unfolded and crashed into the war fortress to resist the attack of the giant.

In order to prevent the attack from falling on itself, the war fortress put away all the scattered clusters and used a gathering method again, dividing into two parts to attack the plasma cannon and sword energy respectively.

The simple energy collision caused the situation to come to a standstill. Two ignored figures cut through the monsters that wanted to prevent them from approaching the fortress and landed in front of the fortress.

Lu Yan and Daisy stood in front of the fortress. The energy shield close to the wall made Lu Yan very happy. He no longer needed to find a way to deal with the shield.

【Let’s get started. 】

【Um. 】

Daisy's long hair fluttered, and the darkness beneath her body condensed, turning into a huge hand emitting cold air, slapping the wall with her fists, and the scarlet eyes on her body opened one after another.

Negative energy rays were released from the eyes and swept randomly, destroying the shield and hitting the alloy. They failed to penetrate directly, but produced a erosion effect.

【Touch of Frost】【Eye of the Dead】

She began to slash around with the sickle in her hand. After all, the entire fortress was considered her body, and as long as she hit it, the damage to her soul would be unavoidable!

The sickle left cuts on the wall, the marks were so deep that the bottom could be seen. The Hundred Slashes were very effective when used on giant objects. Because of their huge size, they were easily cut in two by the sickle. It can also be seen that the cuts can extend to places that the physical blade cannot reach.

Lu Yan was also taking action. With [Hundred Slashes] and [Soul Wound], he used the Red Lotus Karma to shake the light, without any intention of pouring energy into it. He directly entered the second stage, inducing the fire element energy in the air to smash it, causing the red lotus to explode.

He and Daisy's actions were almost simultaneous, everything happened within two seconds, and the bombardment instantly destroyed one-eighth of the fortress's surface area.

It was a hemisphere with many structures inside. Logically, it should have been able to continue fighting, but under the gaze of the card masters, the fortress suddenly shook violently, and a mechanical whine came from inside, and then it stopped working completely.

The huge fortress disappeared as they were staring in surprise. Lu Yan grabbed the fallen card and saw the four big words "War Fortress".

"Wow, a monster card dropped directly. I'm really lucky! I hope they won't run out."

He muttered and clapped his hands with Daisy, teleported to Fengxi and Lamia, turned the girls into cards, and once again activated Infinite Death alone and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Gold-level monster cards are difficult to drop, and because they are a whole, they naturally carry the effect of [Eternal Frozen Heart] and can be used directly by Lamia.

As for using cards, Lu Yan couldn't use them because he couldn't meet the equipment requirements.

Equipment requirements: 6-star card master, with skill cards of gold 7 stars or above [Strong Control] and [Data Suppression] elements, and cards of gold 2 stars or above [Computing Power] and [Chip] elements.

He has to control the cards he gets by force. The gold cards that appear later seem to be more difficult to control. It is better to use them directly to upgrade Lamia.

Chapter 318 Big is good, big is wonderful.

After completing the mission of coming to Liuhuo City in one go, Lu Yan touched it again. He lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, browsing his mobile phone. From time to time, he raised his head to relieve the pressure on his cervical spine.

Two days after coming down from the Mechanical City, the video of him destroying the War Fortress in one go had been posted online.

It has to be said that compared to weird abilities and skills that are difficult to produce substantial results, digging holes is the easiest way to judge a person's overall strength.

Many people think that bigger is better, bigger is wonderful, especially when it comes to using the smallest size to launch the largest range of attacks.

Lamia and Fengxi's attacks, which could easily reach hundreds or even thousands of meters, had been posted online by surrounding card masters. All viewers were amazed and wondering how powerful they were.

As for how War Fortress died, some viewers raised questions, but no one could answer them. Even if they were answered, not many people would watch them. The visual effect created by the two was more important.

Some video owners even specially integrated Lu Yan's recorded battle videos, and condensed the essence of his and the cards' expressiveness, and edited them together.

The battle with the aquatic ape Kang Hui, which only had words to describe the killing of Wang Baitao, was filmed from a distance, not clear enough, without much contrast. The Twin Red Lotuses of Xuanyang City this time launched an attack on the war fortress...

When Ahuizotl Kang returned there, he specially looked for his own battle scene as a comparison.

After all the clips were put together, the terrifying speed and extent of Lu Yan's strength improvement were fully displayed in front of netizens. Those who could not make a qualified estimate of his strength remained silent and added this video clip to their favorites.

[Xxx: You told me he just became a card artist a year ago? Is that a genius?]

[Xxx: So-called ordinary geniuses can't be like him. He is at least a monstrous genius.]

【Xxx: Genius can be further subdivided, right?】

[Xxx: I have to break it down. The gap between geniuses is sometimes even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.]

[Xxxx: @Card Researcher 511, what do you think? This is the former Qigong Girl, right? The other one is a mechanical maid.]

There are many idle netizens who have been following Lu Yan's growth journey and can be considered fans in a sense. They began to ask different bigwigs, experts and "experts" they know about the issue of combat power.
