Chapter 407: 141. Development Log: Instance, Set, and "Guarantee" Mechanism_3

"But I don’t trust those so-called compatriots of ours."

"A very clever thought, master, I share the same opinion,"

Maxim agreed, but then he expressed his doubts:

"But ordinary soldiers can’t use spiritual energy weapons and armor, even professionals have difficulty controlling the spiritual energy items accumulated by the Blood Vulture Clan over 400 years. If you just let your warriors use them, it will undoubtedly cause a tremendous waste of resources."

"They upgrade their weapons faster than you think, and they aren’t always going to just be sixty people.

You think that’s too many, I think it’s too little,

Too little! It’s practically useless, so after we’re free, we must put the exploration of the Blood Vulture Clan’s two secret weapon storages on the schedule!"

Murphy shook his head and instructed Maxim:

"You go find Milian, let her assign someone to manage these important resources, divide them according to the power level of the spiritual energy items, and arrange a shrewd quartermaster to stay here long-term.

After my warriors return, I will arrange a new system for them to exchange and recycle their equipment."

"Yes, master."

Maxim took out his notebook and recorded the instructions.

A few minutes later, the two of them left the warehouse area, turned back, and arrived at the main entrance leading to the collapsed Blood Vulture Sacred Pool,

Cui Si has been busy here for a while now, and with the help of several vampire psionic guards, the Blood Vulture Duchess was currently casting spells on a strange black stone standing at the collapsed entrance.

Maxim had never seen such a thing.

Its shape was like an irregular stone pillar. The black exterior was covered with complex spiritual energy runes, resembling a lighthouse-like device.

With Cui Si’s spell completed, the "Assembly Stone" also emitted a unique faint light in the darkness.

"Duchess, has the important ’Blood Vulture Secret Technique’ been debugged?"

Murphy asked forward, Cui Si glanced at him, nodded her head, and said:

"It’s been tested, I must admit that I’ve never seen such an exquisite spiritual energy item, are you sure it’s the mysterious knowledge you got from that failed Star Realm summoning?"

"Yes, I’m sure, I even think it might come from a more mysterious subspace, maybe it’s a generous gift from an unknown subspace shadow."

Murphy reached out and touched the surface of the Assembly Stone, whispering softly.

The next moment, a character card pops out with a notification:

[Special spiritual energy item ’Assembly Stone’ has been placed, ready for the copy snapshot mechanism, please draw a snapshot fragment from the listed available snapshot events.

The list of available copy snapshots is as follows:

Small illusion: Morlan village defensse, Smugglers’ Forest ambush, Jed group’s raid.

Large illusion: Advancing the Blood Eagle Corridor.

Reminder!

An assembly stone can only bear one copy snapshot.

Reminder!

The test administrator can select special targets in the copy snapshot and add ’special drops’ for them, this mode currently does not support physical forms, and can specify the use of ’special tokens’ for exchange operations.

Reminder!

The test administrator can freely adjust the rules, enemy strength, enemy scale, and cooldown time within the copy snapshot.]

"Cool! Three five-player dungeons and one raid dungeon, the Black Iron Stage Equipment source is ’fully developed’."

Murphy exclaimed in his mind.

Being a newbie, he put the easiest Morlan village defense snapshot into the Assembly Stone, and then he entered a place similar to "Spiritual Illusion" as if his consciousness was out of its sheath.

This experience is like jumping into a proud horse’s "editing mode", encompassing the entire process of fight extraction from Murphy’s memory, from the initial village blockade to Natalie’s team’s attack.

He could even get the NPCs to say some embarrassing lines...

Murphy was clumsy at first.

But he quickly got the hang of it. After all, this simple scene editing and recombination are nothing compared to running a nine-line code with ten errors.

So he quickly edited the details of the entire memory according to his understanding of the copy, and then confirmed the copy snapshot effect.

A few minutes later, Murphy withdrew his fingers, and in front of him, the Assembly Stone was also wreathed with the illusion of spiritual energy. If you look closely, the light that wound around the assembly stone projected the scene of Morlan village.

"Give it a try."

Murphy made a "please" gesture towards Maxim standing beside him. The loyal servant stepped forward without hesitation and touched the concentration stone, infusing it with his spiritual energy. His figure seemed to be engulfed by fog, and about three minutes later, his body emerged from the foggy condensation.

Holy crap!

The fight was over in just three minutes?

Are you speed running this side quest?

Is Maxim that strong, or was the design of the side quest by Murphy too weak?

No way!

We ought to ramp up the difficulty!

Murphy was thinking like this, but Maxim, savouring his recent experience, looked at Murphy weirdly and said,

"Master, wasn’t that our experience in Morlan village? Just with slight differences in the details, and it seems like the strength of the enemies has been enhanced. However, I don’t remember shouting those bizarre phrases during combat... something about a ’burning left hand calling out to victory’... This is too embarrassing!"

"Don’t worry about those little details!

The experience you just had is the ingenious function of the concentration stone. The knowledge from the Star Realm provides us with the ability to revisit past battles in the form of illusion techniques, and everything you experience in these illusions can be turned into actual combat experience."

Murphy explained:

"Look at the Calculating Pearl in your hand."

Maxim immediately looked down.

An area labeled "Token" has appeared on the interface of the Calculating Pearl, listing "Newbie Badges" three times, which corresponded to the three elite witch-hunters he had fought against in the illusion.

Apart from newbie badges, there were also categories like "Veteran Badges", "Elite Badges", and "Warrior Badges", presumably obtainable only by defeating enemies in more difficult illusion battles.

"This virtual currency represents the proof of my warriors passing their trials. They can then use it to exchange for corresponding weapons and armor from the quartermaster. When their strength grows and they need more powerful weapons and armor, they can return these items to the quartermaster to get tokens worth one-third of the original price.

This way, we can facilitate a cyclical use of both low and high level spiritual items."

Murphy confidently explained to Maxim and Cui Si:

"Without a doubt, this facility can swiftly enhance the combat skills of our warriors. After establishing our professional soldier system, I will hand over this spiritual facility for their use. In this way, our new soldiers can also experience absolutely realistic combat.

It should be pretty good for training troops."

"But if it’s really that perfect, your warriors will become engrossed in the illusions and neglect changes in reality, little Murphy, this is a common flaw in all illusion techniques of this nature."

Mistress Psychic, Cui Si, seriously pointed out:

"Even the most realistic illusion is still fake. You have to make your warriors understand this! Only changes in the real world are worth pursuing, rather than immersing in the illusion of power."

"They can only enter once each day, and the more difficult group operations can only be experienced once a week."

Murphy explained:

"And, weapons and armor exchanged with tokens are mass produced. I just want to give them a minimum ’guaranteed’ benefit in each phase. If they want more powerful, rarer, and more beautiful weapons, they must find them through exploration and experience in the real world.

I understand the importance of this.

So, Cui Si, you need not worry.

However, each concentration stone can only contain one battle memory, so I need at least three more. Cui Si, I’ll need your help with this."

"Why do I feel like I, the Blood Vulture Duke, have been reduced to your servant?"

Cui Si sarcastically says:

"This isn’t how a family relationship is supposed to be, right? Earl Cardman, do you order your Clan Leader around and not even say thank you?"

"That just makes us seem distant."

Murphy grinned, quickly took hold of Cui Si’s wrist and talked to soothe her, while Cui Si pouted her lips with demands of getting twenty cases of good wine for each concentration stone.

The loyal Maxim wisely chose to exit the area at this moment.

It was fundamental propriety not to pry into the private affairs of the nobles, this was the basic conduct of the devoted.

Moreover, in Maxim’s heart, a bewitchingly beautiful woman like Lady Cui Si, only a heroic character like Sir Murphy could deserve her!

Although the two had an age gap of over 400 years, who cared about that!

Both were perfect matches for each other, who gave the right to any blind monster to gossip?
