Chapter 26 The Plan Changes, the Target is a God
The fishman stumbled towards Fang Qi, inspected the impact site, and seemed relieved to find the barrel unharmed.
"Very sturdy... Now I believe it's ancient technology."
The merman officer turned and ordered the soldiers who rushed over behind him to find a rope, while he himself lay on Fang Qi's barrel, seemingly wanting to see what was above.
The slippery sensation almost made Fang Qi jump, but luckily he reacted quickly and managed to hold it in.
Having received so much material from them for free, enduring a little hardship and cooperating with the inspection is not unbearable.
The merman officer knocked on the lid for a long time but found nothing amiss, so he reached for it.
Fang Qi did not resist.
Look, anyway, you won't get anything without inserting coins, and it's even more impossible to find evidence. He had already stuffed those crystal clusters into the warehouse and given them to Luo Xi to study.
"Where's the wine?" The merman officer practically stuck his head into the barrel, but there was no aroma of wine, not even a hint of smell.
"Gurgle, looks like it's going to throw something in?"
It recalled a list of gifts sent by humans, which emphasized that putting valuable items into ancient technological wine barrels would produce fine wine.
The officer looked around and, seeing no fish, pulled a pendant from his waist and threw it into the wine barrel.
A wooden dragon head protruded out.
"It actually worked!" It quickly pulled out a cup it had prepared beforehand and caught the drink: "Hopefully it's not one of those awful drinks you get in human taverns..."
The liquor gushed out, releasing a strong, fishy smell.
The merman officer wasn't deterred by the stench; instead, he took two steps closer, inhaled deeply, and exclaimed with delight, "So salty, so fishy!"
Seeing that the salt floating on top of the bowl was about to overflow, it quickly brought its mouth forward and took a sip.
"Gurgle, gurgle, so powerful!" it murmured.
One bite and I felt something, my vision even became a little blurry.
This salinity... is undoubtedly a superb fishman's brew!
Such fine wine is a waste to drink at a celebration; it should be offered to the gods!
A little more.
"Captain, I'm back..." came the soldier's voice from afar.
The merman officer's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the wine.
It didn't have time to savor it any longer, so it quickly took a sip, plugged it with a cork, and tossed it into its waist pocket.
Just as he finished doing all this, the merman soldier ran up pushing a cart: "Captain, I've found the rope..."
Its wet nose twitched: "Where's that smell of alcohol coming from?"
"Hiccup..." The officer involuntarily hiccuped, rubbing his eyes. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Tie him to the car and get going."
The soldier was busy with his work, but he couldn't shake off his doubts.
How could it have mistaken the smell? It was clearly a rare and excellent wine, and the officer secretly drank it without telling anyone...
For the rest of the journey, Fang Qi's wheels were tied to the cart and secured firmly, eliminating any possibility of the cart slipping.
However, he never intended to take advantage of any more of the offers.
If this happens occasionally, it can be attributed to a mistake, but if it keeps happening, it's hard to guarantee that it won't arouse suspicion.
The infiltration plan had only just begun; he was still waiting to raid Gulgar's lair, and he couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
"So, what can crystal clusters and adhesives be used for?" Fang Qi asked Luo Xi.
Roche had now reached the final step, his expression unusually focused.
She didn't reply, but instead crushed the crystal clusters in batches in a small pot, engraved patterns with magic, and then heated them.
The moment the powder liquefied, she seized the opportunity, using a small shovel to scoop and lift it, then using magic to help it solidify.
The liquid solidified in mid-air, forming a slightly rough mirror.
Fang Qi observed it from several angles and found that it only resembled a mirror, but was not a mirror.
Because it is neither transparent nor can it reflect the view in front of it.
"What is this?"
"It's a weakened version of the ancient technology called the 'Logic Board.' By inputting magic at different frequencies, it can produce different patterns. Mr. Box, look..."
The magical light in Rosie's hand flickered at a certain frequency, and the board also flashed at the same frequency.
A moment later, she withdrew her magic and placed the board on the table.
The board displayed a simple image of a potion, accompanied by burgundy text:
"Latest potions on sale, only 100 gold coins!"
This design and content... why does it look so familiar?
hiss~
Fang Qi suddenly realized, what else could this be but the GG screen from his previous life?!
It took a little longer, but the meaning is correct!
"Isn't it amazing? It's a pity the materials are a bit low-grade; with my skill level, this is the best I can do." Luo Xi looked at the screen, a glint of light in her eyes.
"The part in the academy is much more beautiful than mine, but it's too difficult to study. I only managed to figure out a little bit of the pattern when I was at the sixth level."
She placed the GG cards in the corner of the table, rested her chin on her hands, and seemed lost in thought.
"Ancient technology is truly incredible. A tiny board can actually analyze the logic of magic. When will I ever reach that level...?"
"Luo Xi is already amazing, he will surpass the ancients sooner or later!" Fang Qi praised.
A hand-crafted, basic LCD screen might even contain an entry-level processor or something similar; that's some serious talent.
"That's true, there's still plenty of time!" Luo Xi chuckled. "This board is perfect as a shop sign."
When I get back to school, I'll get a few more and hang them up together. They'll definitely be more eye-catching than the wooden signs in other shops!
"Actually, it could also be made into fluorescent powder, low-grade invisibility potion, or hallucination potion, but I think that's a bit of a waste of materials..."
Rosie suggested, "Why don't we keep it?"
"Keep it, we must keep it." Fang Qi wasn't stupid, so he naturally agreed.
The so-called "logic board" might just be an ancient computer or something similar. Keep the dies; they'll definitely be useful in the future.
Using it to make and sell contact lens solution is simply a waste of resources!
With permission, Loxi found several wooden barrels, filled them with the remaining "Rainbow Crystal Branches," and dragged them to the innermost small room to put them away.
This is the high-value material storage room that she isolated herself after the "dormitory" was expanded again.
I thought it wouldn't be needed for a while, so I left a small space, but I didn't expect it to be almost full after just one day.
After finishing tidying up, Fang Qi inquired about the function of the "bioadhesive".
The iridescent crystal branches were a rare and excellent material in Roxi's hands, while the bio-adhesive was just ordinary in comparison.
At most, you can only throw out some "sticky mines" that can stick to enemies, but they can't even stick to slippery creatures like murlocs.
You can keep it for yourself to use as adhesive, or sell it to players next time.
As he was thinking this, the cart beneath him suddenly began to lurch and jolt.
Fang Qi's consciousness returned to the outside world.
The team has successfully passed through the "Crystal Cluster Jungle" and arrived at the highest altar platform on the entire island.
There is a spiral road leading to the giant lake in the center of the island.
Around the lake, several tall crystal obelisks shimmered continuously.
Not going to the celebration hall?
Plans have changed!
