By the way, is a "magic rifle" similar to a "psychic gun" really a "strategic weapon"?

no.

For the plane of Azeroa, it is at most a tactical weapon.

Zhou Ming actually succeeded in fooling Emperor Picaro into believing that the magic rifle was a "strategic weapon."

But in fact, this kind of weapon is actually a relatively useless thing.

It works a bit, but not much.

Why did he say that?

The power of magic far exceeds the weapon itself.

Take Zhou Ming as an example. After being promoted to an intermediate magician, after learning a few earth magics, he can achieve the same shooting effect as a "magic rifle" through many methods.

For example, with the first-level earth magic [Stone Bullet Impact], he can make a bullet-shaped "stone bullet", add a rotation to the projectile, and then give it a high speed to fly forward... The first-level earth magic [ Stone Bullet Impact] can be changed into [Bullet Impact].

Except that the magic power consumption is higher, the other effects are basically the same.

But Zhou Ming does not need to spend money to buy a "magic rifle", does not need to load bullets, the movement is smaller, and the power is not bad.

So in this world, there is potential for "magic rifles" and "magic cannons", but it's really not necessary.

As long as the magician is strong enough and supplemented by a certain amount of creativity, every magician is a humanoid self-propelled magic rifle and a humanoid self-propelled magic cannon.

As for Zhou Ming, he can play thousands of tricks without having to spend half a brain cell and half a gold coin to come up with something as useless as a "magic rifle".

In fact, in the last copy of "Lingyuan Continent", he did not necessarily have to invent things like "Lingyuan Gun" and "Lingyuan Cannon". High-strength monks can completely achieve the same attack effect as gunfire. ...Of course, there are very few monks who can achieve this level.

The same is true in this magic plane. Zhou Ming can release powerful attacks without relying on magic rifles. But to most indigenous magicians, magic rifles do mean a bit of a "strategic weapon." .

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of creative thinking.

Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the tenth floor of the school library.

Zhou Ming entered here.

Then without wasting a second, he picked up a magic book and couldn't wait to read it.

Five hundred volumes of magic books, three hours, and the time he allocated to each book was only a little over 21 seconds. He had to use both hands to flip through it quickly.

The system in my brain also turned on the scanning mode, recording all the graphic and textual information in the book into the database.

Three hours later.

Excluding some books with low reference value, Zhou Ming had scanned most of the magic books.

The system acquires a large amount of high-value knowledge.

The plane resolution has been increased by 3.5 percentage points, the meditation method has been optimized again, and the cultivation speed is 152% of that of popular magicians... which is 7 percentage points higher than before.

That's it.

Zhou Ming's trip to the Dolan Empire was basically successful.

In addition, he also used the relatively sufficient supply of medicinal materials to turn the tens of millions of gold coins earned by "Leilin Pharmacy Shop" into 5 [Magic Spring] potions and 45 [Super Magic Potions] (successfully prepared rate increased to 80%).

Take 5 [Magic Fountain] potions.

The magic value increases by 200 points.

Zhou Ming’s current personal training data is as follows:

Level: Intermediate Magician

Magic value: 431.212 (500 for next level)

Perception range: 5.75m (next level 10m)

Soul frequency: 1.24 (next level 1.30)

Energy value: 70 (can meditate)

Judging from these data, Zhou Ming's cultivation level is actually not far away from the next level of "advanced magician".

In terms of magic power, in half a month (he now increases his magic power by an average of 4 points per day), he can exceed 500.

More than a year ago, he was just a trainee magician with a magic value of no more than 20 points.

Now he is almost becoming a high-level magician, and his rapid growth and progress is truly astonishing.

So what's next for him?

Go directly back to Yadud Kingdom?

of course not.

There are still several people waiting for him to rescue.

The Elf Tika and the Warrior Captain Gazef, who were imprisoned in the underground cell of the Duchess's Palace, had been tortured for three months, and Duchess Theresa had no intention of releasing them.

Because of the plea of ​​the little elf princess Aaliyah, they were not killed.

It will probably remain closed.

Could it be that in the past three months, Zhou Ming had been sitting idly by and letting them suffer?

of course not.

He just chose to stay put and focus on spying on intelligence.

After three months of spying and bribery, the entire Duchess's Palace has now been infiltrated into a sieve by him.

After spending tens of millions of gold coins, there were 23 male servants, 27 maids, 58 guards and 6 concierges... More than 100 people were successfully bribed by Zhou Ming... accounting for about three thirds of the total number of servants in the Duchess's residence. one part.

Recently, Zhou Ming even set up a scheme to bribe Duchess Teresa's most loyal lackey and the highest-ranking housekeeper, Hapis.

And from Hapis, he obtained the layout of the entire Duchess's Palace.

For Zhou Ming, the Duchess's palace is now filled with beauties who have taken off their clothes. For him, there is no privacy at all.

Tika and Gazef, who were imprisoned in the dungeon, have not suffered much in the past month or so. After Zhou Ming bribed the jailer, they not only enjoyed three meals a day, eight dishes each, and several bottles of [Healing Potion] After going down, the injuries on the body are basically healed.

And through the jailer's message, Zhou Ming told them: If he wants to save them, he only needs to ask the jailer to take out the key and open the cell door, and they can be let out tonight. But because of their stupidity and rash actions, he plans to keep them in jail. Stay here for a while and reflect on your mistakes!

Especially for Tika, she had to write a "Reflection Letter" of more than 10,000 words every day to reflect on her faults. She would write for a month first. Only when a certain apology letter moved him would he consider letting them out and agree to help her rescue the elves. little princess.

As expected, Tika sat in front of the table every day, holding a quill in his hand, racking his brains to conceive the content of the "Reflection".

Gazef, the soldier captain in the next cell, only eats and sleeps every day, and his life is quite comfortable.

However, in the past month, this skinny soldier who was originally tortured has gained more than 20 pounds.

Seeing this, the jailers were extremely happy. Not only did they add two more dishes to Gazef's meals, they also often brought him supper, allowing him to eat four meals a day.

It turned out that Zhou Ming had negotiated with the jailers. For every 1 kilogram of weight that Tikka and Gazef were locked in the cell, Zhou Ming would give them a reward of 10,000 gold coins. For 20 kilograms, that is 200,000 gold coins. , can they be unhappy?

As for Duchess Teresa, after torturing them for more than a month, she had almost forgotten about these two figures, and even thought that they should be dead... After all, the death row in her ducal palace was prepared for the dead, and there was no entry. The reason why a person comes out alive.

She was completely unaware that her Duke's Mansion had been infiltrated into a sieve.

Even what she did every day, what activities she attended, and how many times she made out with Aaliya at night were all turned into information and landed on Zhou Ming's desk.

Now, Zhou Ming, who was completely free, planned to teach this duchess, who everyone had heard of, a lesson.

A profound lesson.

Zhou Ming murmured to himself:

"At the auction, in order to get the little elf princess, you spent three years of your territory's economic output, a total of 15 million gold coins."

"In your duke's palace, the wages you pay to servants are only 10 gold coins per month, the concierge is 15 gold coins, the guards are 20 to 100 gold coins, and the highest paid housekeeper, Harpis, is only 150 gold coins per month."

"Their income is pitiful, but they see that you spend every day drinking and drinking, your consumption is less than 1,000 gold coins every day, and you still owe 8 million gold coins to various moneylenders."

"In order to pay off the debt, you have been continuously reducing the benefits of servants in the past two years."

"My own extravagance and extravagance are increasing day by day."

"Under such circumstances, how could they not have any objections to you?"

"If you give me more time, what's impossible for me to bribe all the servants in your Duke's palace?"

"However, my time is limited, so I won't show you such a difficult operation."

"I'll let you open your eyes and see how I managed to take away your favorite 'Little Sweetie' for only 15 million gold coins!"

Zhou Ming plans to start taking action tomorrow and show off a wave of 'suffocating maneuvers' in front of Duchess Theresa.

A story has highs and lows, and the author's status is good and bad. There is no guarantee that it will always be wonderful. Try to write something new.
