Chapter 697 - 179: The Birth of the Quest NPC
Why didn't they mention such an important matter earlier, if the Sun Moon is so powerful?
Our Human Race Emperor is so sneaky, he loves holding back cards too much.
A real sly dog.
"If I didn't have an original counterfeit of Sun Moon, the whole world would have been fooled by Xin Xichen..."
He stared intently at Su Yuniang who followed.
This fellow is totally addicted, not only playing with the Shadow Crocodile but also messing around with Water Attribute Water Crocodile, Fire Attribute Fire Crocodile... Yang Attribute Yang Crocodile.
The Yang Crocodile, shining like the sun, glides along the ground, looking incredibly dazzling.
And she's always muttering that she's the authentic inheritor of Shadow Crocodile, while the Manor Master is about to become a counterfeit.
"I was actually surpassed by a blacksmith under my command."
Ning Zheng watched for a while before gradually accepting such a ridiculous ability. After all, Xin Xichen and Ning Zheng, these Dual Spirit Roots are already quite strong, but those with Seven Spirit Roots?
Their levels simply don't match!
Have to wait for Ning Zheng to also upgrade to Seven-Color Spirit Roots, I reckon he won't be weaker, might even be stronger.
Using Qi Fortune Value to create a more potent Cyclic Spirit Root for combination.
He exhaled deeply:
"No wonder Jiu Shui exhausted all the national power of Nine-State, personally choosing a Seven-Color Spirit Root from the endless Celestial Spirit Roots within countless Nine-State and Four Seas."
Dao Yueniang, truly worthy as the ultimate Sun Moon carrying Jiu Shui's hopes, used to suppress Nine-State.
Jiu Shui once confidently stated that the complete form of this Seven-Color Spirit Root would surpass his combat power.
After all, upon reaching Self-Transformation Realm, with the cultivation techniques fully developed and reaching complete maturity, neither Xin Xichen nor the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor could dare to mess with it.
Firewood?
Are you Xin Xichen who loves to burn me, obtained a lot of opponent's biological structure information, and coming up with strategies to counter it?
Believe it or not, the next second you, Xin Xichen, will be urged to virtue, flipping around to perform Fire Series Firewood, Water Series Firewood, Wind Series Firewood... which one do you want to see?
"This is the true essence of the Nine-State Immortal Artifact."
Ning Zheng previously created a Sea Race National Guardian Immortal Artifact, feeling a bit inflated.
But now that arrogance seems so laughable, the real power lies with the Human Race National Guardian Immortal Artifact!
The most terrifying part is, before the explosion of the Immortal Path era, and when Immortal Path hadn't been thoroughly popularized decades later, various new technologies gave rise to such a creation.
Yet Ning Zheng feels immensely grateful.
Back then, when he took a risky move and created a counterfeit Sun Moon, at least he also has a share of such defiant combat power.
It's the strongest fighting Immortal Weapon in Nine-State, and now I have one too.
"Su Yuniang, this person, is beginning to synthesize the Demon Ghost King..."
"However, this Demon Ghost King's appearance can increase the number of small bosses mentioned by the blacksmiths, disguised as the mastermind behind the scenes."
The manifestation of Sun Moon Su Yuniang personally helps create such Embers bosses, making Ning Zheng, the fake mastermind behind the Embers Disaster, adds wings to the tiger, evidently can significantly enhance the force of our side's evil mastermind.
...
...
Next morning.
Sword Casting Manor, a group of blacksmiths got online.
Each one holding an Eye of Identification, inserted into the Embers character's eyeball.
They look at one another, appraising.
[Name: ??? (can designate tag)]
[Race: Embers.]
[Realm: Around Four Viscera Realm Early Period (if deliberately hiding strength, undetectable, for reference only)]
...
Every blacksmith's head began to emit text.
Looking rather cool.
"Done, this host, not connected with the Sea Race side, but only connected with the initial Line-type Pseudo-Person of our laboratory."
"This thing in its first edition doesn't have sufficient computational power but can barely support the entire manor's local area network."
"It's not yet made, we've learned from the neighboring technology and mimicked a shabby version of Hongmeng, not a problem within the manor... I think naming it Nine Chapters is quite fitting."
"Yes, just how others are choosing their spirit root, they are using Mermaid, yielding Tear Stone, what do we have?"
"Think carefully."
Everyone is very happy.
Truly a blacksmithing game.
[Game panel] was also crafted through our blacksmithing,
Remarkably, step by step forging My World, refining game mechanics, the joy of this simulation management is rather fulfilling.
...
Sea Race Royal Palace.
Here too, conducting information data collection.
This obviously needs big data, with the first batch of [Eye of Identification] issued, a lot of data emerged in one night.
Deep within the palace, a giant line-type brain is pulsating, forging a beautiful Mermaid humanoid pattern.
Thunder Hammer Duke keeps calculating, correcting data, "The data is a bit chaotic, we've made too big a leap in one go, his initial Embers Artifact Spirit level is only Four Viscera Realm."
"Simultaneously receiving feedback from tens of thousands of pieces of information indirectly is somewhat difficult."
"If able to awaken, becoming a Ghost King, similar to the nearby Ghost King Sun Moon, the potential would be completely reinforced."
They kept discussing.
Whereas outside the palace, blacksmiths rushed to the palace square to receive today's daily quest.
But according to Jiucai Rong's suggestion, after some time, this task acceptance can be realized in the Eye of Identification.
However, met with massive resistance from blacksmiths, they claim the daily quest panel is essential for authenticity.
Of course, there's someone looking at blacksmiths with data on their foreheads, "The identity identification section is almost useless, it's too lousy, this cultivation can be altered randomly."
"No solution there, how can you identify hidden cultivation?" someone complained, "Being able to perceive a general aura is already quite good."
"I recommend updating the task mechanism, for indigenous folks needing to hire employees, add a [?] question mark above their heads to release recruitment tasks."
"Huh?"
"That's a novel thought, mate!"
"Could implement it in a Sea Race neighborhood, observe effects, locals with a ? question mark on their heads would be more convenient for casual daily workers."
"Precisely! Some bustling taverns could wave with a ? question mark for temporary hires."
"Wanted criminals can have atop their heads a red! exclamation mark, symbolizing they're red-named criminals, catching them will yield rewards."
"Also good, but realistically, the effect should be poor, one can hide their aura, given the current Hongmeng's identification ability is too weak, it barely captures information, this mind is very sluggish."
"High-tier individuals hide their identity, catch a mortal, a Five Elements Realm cultivator, surely attainable."
...
Everyone is exercising their imagination, the collection of big data has just begun.
No one knows how far this pseudo-human brain will go.
While the assembly line factory for magical artifacts only started the simplest [Eye of Identification] factory, all production capacity is dedicated to producing this item for its first wave of popularity.
As they discuss with fervor, the news from the Alchemy Room of Su Yuniang finally came through.
"Brothers, something big happened, quickly, see how I combine your wives into a super villain boss!"
