Chapter 666: Chu Yuan's Wrist-wringing Sigh

~7 min read 1,293 words

Tower: "The matter of materials is simple. We only need to use low-grade Ash Carbon Powder,"

Moon: "Hey, that's a thing several grades lower than Thorium Powder. Can it really maintain the stability of the Magic Array?"

Lan Qingyou's answer made Shang Chuan feel it was a bit absurd.

I just calculated the cost issue for half a day, and as a result, you actually say to use a low-end thing like Ash Carbon Powder?

Everyone says Ash Carbon Powder is low-end, then just how low-end is it?

Put it this way: it's the kind of low-end to the point that no one would sell it.

Its value wouldn't be greater than you going to the roadside and grabbing a handful of ash back.

It's a thing that can be mass-produced through an alchemy array.

Tower: "This Magic Array is internally etched. Moreover, the item will only be activated under the circumstances where the external environment turns bad. Under this kind of circumstance, external instability is able to suppress internal instability."

Magician: "Are you saying the envisioned device uses that kind of negative-negative-makes-positive method?"

Because previously they were all chatting about matters on commerce and cost, the rest of the people hadn't made a sound.

Now that the topic finally returned to the technical level with great difficulty, David immediately joined the battlefield.

It would be better to say that since Lan Qingyou's explanation previously, his inquiring heart couldn't quite hold back and wanted to voice out.

Tower: "Right, and this kind of device is one-time use; it only needs to be able to hold out for ten minutes and it will do."

Chariot: "Ten minutes? Would that be too short? One must know, that is a natural phenomenon like Mana Turbulence."

Tower: "No, when did I ever say we were going to confront natural phenomena?"

Justice: "Hm?"

Sun: "Uh..."

High Priestess: "Eh?"

Tower: "Could it be that it's not? Who would want to confront nature for no reason; isn't that purely having a hole in the brain?"

...What this woman says makes so much sense, I actually cannot refute it.

Never expecting that with matters having reached this step, this guy the Tower Witch actually threw out such a correct theory, leaving a group of researchers speechless, all not knowing how to follow up.

Because previously everyone's discussion was carried out revolving around that paper of The Fool's that Lan Qingyou dug out.

So everyone very reasonably thought of 'self' and 'nature', these two things existing in the title.

So.

Researching this 'self' thing, isn't it precisely to confront 'nature'?

As a result, this guy actually says it's not for confronting Mana Turbulence?

Then that truly is somewhat wasting feelings.

Actually, not only these researchers, even this Cunning Merchant Shang Chuan was now somewhat unable to bear Lan Qingyou's sharp turn, not quite adapting to it.

If it's not for confronting natural phenomena like Mana Turbulence, then the commercial value should be greatly discounted, right?

It would be better to say the various cost reductions considered previously were just a joke?

No, it's his own alias directly changing from [Moon] to [Clown].

Star: "Then why did you, this guy, suddenly want to make this kind of thing? Teasing us, right?"

So, Ruan Qingyi spoke out everyone's doubts and dissatisfaction.

Tower: "Do you think I have a lot of time, to still tease you."

...

Indeed, a witch's time wasn't consumed for teasing them.

Tower: "I need to develop this kind of device for a certain thing."

Star: "A certain thing?"

Judgement: "What is it?"

Upon seeing that Lan Qingyou would actually go to such great lengths for a thing, all the guys who originally had their waists flashed became interested.

Tower: "Simply put, you can just understand it as a thing capable of triggering ultra-small-scale Mana Turbulence."

Hm!!?

'A thing capable of triggering ultra-small-scale Mana Turbulence'?

I recognize all the words, but how come when combined together it feels so strange?

Although this world was originally already very strange.

Tower: "Broadly speaking, it's just like this. That is a kind of thing similar to a powder keg; as long as it's detonated, the natural mana within a range of tens to a hundred meters around will all be interfered with, thereby appearing a mana rampaging phenomenon similar to Mana Turbulence."

Tower: "And once mana rampages, the people affected within it will also therefore be unable to use mana normally, or it could be said the power of the magic used will be greatly discounted."

Because of the reason that she hadn't tried the Mana Derangement Device herself either, Lan Qingyou could also only use that experience of hers initially being knocked down by Mana Turbulence to carry out the explanation.

Although she had the blueprint in her hand, if she let these guys see it, they would definitely be able to understand instantly.

But regrettably, she didn't want to do so.

What a joke. This thing was a thing that could truly bring real damage to them witches; preventing it was already too late, how could it be spread out.

One must know, even if she only sent half or even a third out, with these guys, especially Olf, with the ability of this machinery fanatic, there was an extremely large possibility of reverse-engineering the result.

It was still that sentence: the intention to guard against others is indispensable.

Even if they were good friends in the same group.

Judgement: "Speak in detail."

And over here, this guy Chu Yuan, after seeing that there was actually this kind of thing in the world, instantly became interested.

Although those things Lan Qingyou said above seemed like saying that thing was designed precisely for fighting.

But actually, if used for dealing with monsters, it should also be able to shine brilliantly.

So he impatiently inquired of Lan Qingyou, however the answer obtained was...

"Can't be detailed anymore; what I know is roughly just this."

Lan Qingyou was still tight-lipped.

Since she had already made up her mind, then it wouldn't be changed again.

She was going to be a good person who meant what she said.

And seeing this result, Chu Yuan also wrist-wringingly sighed.

If there were such an easy-to-use thing in hand, then he believed his subordinates going to conquer dungeons would also be quite a bit easier.

It was even possible to directly slaughter through the dungeon.

However, for him, or it could be said for people like them, rather than conquering a dungeon like the people of a strategy group, it was more practical to guard a resource point.

Although that kind of cleanly-swept dungeon would spawn some monsters every once in a while, as long as it wasn't that kind of fundamentally unkillable monster, there basically were Patrol Teams and the like carrying out clearing at set times and set points.

Of course, the reason why he wrist-wringingly sighed, besides this aspect, was also because Lan Qingyou's side didn't let up.

Those in the group were all not fuel-efficient lamps.

Since Lan Qingyou's side had already started making this kind of defensive preparation, then she definitely knew some inside information.

It was even possible she had that kind of thing in her hands.

It was just that since the other party didn't say, they naturally wouldn't force it either.

The most important thing was that Lan Qingyou's side had already brought out a plan; they only needed to carry out experiments according to this plan, and then produce the finished product and it would do.

As long as one wasn't thinking of using that thing to do something, then for the people defending, this was enough.

Chariot: "Very good, then let us talk about the matters in this aspect."
