Chapter 191: The Birth of a Year-Round Genie Wish Machine
Chapter 191: The Birth of a Year-Round Genie Wish Machine
"Shout if it hurts. I can't quite control the magic input well, so don't tough it out."
Qin Muye was tinkering with the magic lamp in the supply warehouse. This place was still the energy hub of the floating city, housing a variety of power sources such as the magic pool, elemental furnace, mini nuclear reactor, and more. These were still singular sources, but there were also mixed core energy sources like the magic engine, elemental fusion chamber, and electrical crystal factory.
This time, Qin Muye planned to turn the genie in the Aladdin's lamp into a wish machine. After all, how could he put it, this thing was just too underwhelming. Relying solely on the genie, it was impossible to grant wishes on a large scale.
After all, even the wish spell has its costs, even if the Aladdin's lamp is a divine artifact.
The lamp could handle it, but the genie couldn't. So he decided to connect it to the power source, directly charging it. This way, he could boost the attributes of other spirits in one go, and with the support of energy, he could even grant wishes beyond his current level.
Of course, overly bugged wishes were still impossible, such as a perpetual motion machine. This had nothing to do with energy; it was simply due to the genie's insufficient power.
Fortunately, with the genie, Qin Muye found that many things became much simpler in terms of processing.
For example, he could make simple wishes to the genie, but Qin Muye didn't intend to do this, as it might make the entire territory dependent. Instead, he planned to use it mainly for attribute boosts and miscellaneous tasks.
The genie had its limitations, and the wish spell wasn't omnipotent. If it were, he would have already wished for the knowledge of a perpetual motion machine.
He wanted the knowledge, not the perpetual motion machine itself.
So the correct usage was to fix it as an attribute-boosting helper. Even with limitations, it was better than having nothing at all.
Soon, Qin Muye completed the connection between the magic lamp and the energy converter. Of course, he couldn't directly connect the energy to the lamp, as the energy sources were different. It required restriction valves and energy conversion methods to serve as the lamp's backup power source.
"Done. Do you feel anything?" Qin Muye asked after tightening the screws.
The genie felt the power flowing into his body, his blue skin becoming lighter, and his already massive form expanding even more.
"Great master, I feel a beauty I've never experienced before," the genie's expression showed a hint of intoxication.
"Alright, stop basking in it. You'll be making a lot of wishes from now on. And one more thing, guard the supply warehouse. No one except the spirits under my command is allowed to enter," Qin Muye said.
The supply warehouse was the core of Qin Muye's territory, and no one other than the spirits could enter.
"Yes, master, I will follow your instructions," the genie naturally obeyed Qin Muye's commands.
Now that the Aladdin's lamp belonged to Qin Muye, it naturally listened to him.
After finishing this, Qin Muye left the supply warehouse and glanced outside. The transformation of the entire territory was in full swing, centered around the mage tower and continuously expanding. It was already taking shape, but building such a massive floating city was no easy task.
It involved energy, materials, and various other aspects, so building a floating city was a technical job. Not only did one need to be proficient in civil engineering, but also in various forms of magic and science. Just training the skilled workers took a considerable amount of time.
Moreover, many life-oriented heroes were involved in the construction. This floating city wasn't the original one but a version he had improved multiple times.
Not only was the internal design different, but even the exterior was vastly different from the original, making it impossible to recognize the original floating city.
With the integration of several systems, how could it still look the same? Wouldn't that mean his efforts were in vain?
"Given this progress, it will take at least a year to complete."
The construction of the floating city was not only limited by efficiency but also by materials. Although construction had already begun, there were still significant resource gaps. Qin Muye's floating city was meticulously crafted, and he couldn't lower the standards.
Each resource acquired would undergo further processing and quality inspection to ensure there were no flaws.
A year was a long time for Qin Muye. He wished it could be done in two days, but unfortunately, his strength wasn't sufficient.
"However, I wonder if the nature of my territory can change from a mage tower to a floating city after the transformation," Qin Muye mused. If it really changed, the conditions for advancement might also change.
Currently, his territory only needed one more condition to reach the 5th tier: all heroes must reach level 40. This was a significant challenge.
Firstly, the abundant energy supply had increased the rate of champion-level spirit births from one every ten days to two. This was already reduced to avoid impacting the construction of the floating city; otherwise, it could have been four per day.
Moreover, each spirit hero was at least a rare class, and the prerequisites for class changes were not a problem for the residents. As long as the requirements were recorded, it was not difficult to achieve.
With the military business of Qin Muye's territory, obtaining class change credentials was not an issue. While rare and epic class changes were scarce, ordinary class changes were still feasible.
The continuous emergence of heroes meant that the advancement conditions were never met.
Even if the conditions were met, Qin Muye would not upgrade immediately, as he still had title tasks to complete.
He then glanced at the second-generation god king Cronos and the other Titans, who were living quite comfortably. Qin Muye's territory had already undergone modernization, offering far more enjoyment than the fairy tale world.
Most of the Titans were hedonists, so they were quite content with their new lives.
What entertainment did the ancient world offer? Compared to modern times, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Otherwise, how could they be so obsessed with having children?
If Qin Muye had brought modern entertainment to Gaia at its inception, it wouldn't just be Typhon; the Twelve Titans might not have even gathered.
With good food, good drink, and good entertainment, how could they not be entranced?
Qin Muye had tasted the food in the fairy tale world, and it was barely palatable, with few condiments developed. How could it compare to the food in his territory?
So, in just two days, there was a sense that they were becoming spoiled, though they might also be biding their time.
Well, biding their time wouldn't do them much good, as Qin Muye had not imposed any restrictions on them.
For Cronos, this life was far better than his time on the Island of Bliss. Being the king of the Island of Bliss was essentially a form of imprisonment, and the living conditions were not great.
With the four Titans being well-behaved, Qin Muye had much less to worry about.
He then returned to the third floor of the mage tower to further refine the intelligent magic network.
"I remember White Dove handled the ancient god resurgence, right?" Qin Muye suddenly recalled this and found the corresponding report.
After reviewing it, he saw that White Dove had resolved the issue, but there was still some residual corruption from the ancient gods.
"No wonder I got some extra points, but there hasn't been any follow-up," Qin Muye thought. He decided not to worry about it further.
The ancient gods were problematic, but there was insufficient data, and the supplementary report noted that the local forces and other lords had not faced significant challenges concerning the revival of ancient deities.
There was some corruption, but it was minor and easily resolved.
It was also possible that some lords were deliberately cultivating ancient god minions to farm treasure chests.
Currently, it didn't seem too difficult, but this was a long-term task, and no one knew when it might end or suddenly fail.
However, Qin Muye was indifferent. As long as the floating city was completed, even if the world declared GG, it wouldn't affect him. He could always retreat to the Horror Universe or the Fairy Tale world.
"Let's just focus on refining the magic network. That's the priority. Communication has always been a weak point, and this time it needs to be addressed. At the very least, the magic network must be established, and updating the spirits' magic network will be a challenge."
Currently, the intelligent magic network was like an unconnected computer that could only copy data via USB. Qin Muye aimed to connect it to a local network.
As for a more advanced internet, the difficulty was considerable. He needed to enhance the local network, as it was not a true network but a special form of connection magic.
It was impossible to simply replicate information technology, as there were many conflicts. Qin Muye would have to modify it himself to suit his needs.
