Chapter 435 Intelligence Transaction
“Can't get it?” Luo Jun frowned and said, “What does that mean?”
"That's the literal meaning..." Ling Yi shook his head: "You should still remember the characteristics of the Jiejiang Dragon King Shenjiang Stone, right? It was extremely heavy to begin with, but after it was forged into a precious phantom, the weight increased... so..."
“Then it's not impossible to get it, right?” Luo Jun asked strangely: “When it's still raw material, it's just heavier. Once it's forged into a treasure, can't it be stored in a treasure box?”
"This..." Ling Yi sighed, and Ling Kai shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Ye, just come with us and take a look."
With that said, the two of them stood up, led Luo Jun out of the office, came to the end of the corridor, and opened a secret door.
Behind the secret door is an elevator with a primitive structure. After the three people stood up, they closed the fence door manually and pulled the lever. The elevator slowly descended amidst the squeaking sound of mechanical operation.
"It's inconvenient to have no electricity in this barbaric wilderness." Ling Kai complained: "I think the 'primitive' characteristic is the most troublesome in the big world. Not only can't we develop technology, but even some high-precision technological treasures will be affected by it. Influence…"
"This also saves a lot of trouble." Ling Yi said: "We can't develop technology, and neither can polluters. There are some monster races in the wilderness, but they have intelligence that is not inferior to humans. If they cooperate with polluters, The development of technology is also a huge threat to us. "
While talking, the elevator has reached the bottom. Although the structure is primitive, the speed is not slow. Judging from the descent time, it is at least ten meters underground.
After exiting the elevator, there is an empty prototype room, surrounded by concrete walls. Directly in front of it is a huge iron door. It can be seen that some bone materials were mixed in during the production to increase the strength of the iron door. .
In an industrial desert like the Wilderness, it must have taken a lot of manpower to smelt such a huge amount of steel.
Two security personnel in black uniforms stood next to the iron gate. Seeing Ling Yi bowing and saluting, Ling Yi nodded, and the two took out the keys and opened the iron gate.
The moment the iron door opens, there is a huge space behind the door, with a churning lava pool in the center, providing a steady stream of heat energy. On the surrounding ground, there are various equipments, including smelting furnaces, forging tables, enchantment testing devices, etc., with dozens of weapon refiners busy among them.
"This is the Noble Phantasm Research and Development Center underground in Lingyun City..." Ling Yi introduced: "These weapon refiners are all elites raised by the family. In addition to the daily production of various Noble Phantasms, their main job is to determine the value of the Noble Phantasms through experiments. It has the relationship between characteristics, materials, and craftsmanship to prepare for the development of more powerful treasures.”
“What a magical place.” Luo Jun praised: “We are guarding a lava pool, but we don't feel stuffy at all.”
"These weapon refiners are the treasures of the guild. Of course, we must provide them with the best working environment." Ling Yi said with a smile: "There are constant temperature and ventilation devices here to provide suitable temperature and humidity at any time. Although it is underground, it is better than It's more comfortable to work on the ground.”
“Is my hammer here?” Luo Jun asked, “I don't see any treasure that looks like a divine furnace.”
"The Divine Machine Furnace is not here. Mr. Ye is coming with me."
Ling Yi led the two people through the R&D center and opened another iron door. Behind it was a long and narrow corridor, at the end of which was a circular Tai Chi pattern machine door.
Ling Yi opened the treasure box, took out a key, inserted it into the keyhole and twisted it. There was a click, and the Yin and Yang fish separated on both sides, revealing a secret room.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a huge Noble Phantasm that is as tall as a person and more than two meters in diameter.
This Noble Phantasm has a simple shape. It looks like a huge teapot sitting on the ground, with the lid tightly fastened on it, and a ladder standing next to it.
Relying on the powerful vision brought by perception, Luo Jun can feel that the big teapot in front of him is of extremely high grade, legendary... no, probably mythical quality!
Needless to say, this is naturally the legendary divine furnace.
“Shen Ji Lu saw it, where is my hammer?” Luo Jun asked.
Ling Yi smiled and shook his head, pointing to the ladder on the side: "You will know after you go up and take a look."
Luo Jun walked up the ladder with doubts. At this time, Ling Yi waved his hand and activated his control ability to remove the lid of the divine furnace.
Luo Jun lowered his head and looked inside, and immediately saw a hammer lying in the empty furnace.
That hammer looks similar in size to the previous sinking stone hammer, but its shape has changed slightly.
The first thing is the color. From the previous snow-white, it has become completely black. The surface seems to have a frosted texture, with a hint of metallic luster.
Then there is the shape. The shape of the original Shenjiang stone hammer is similar to a large claw hammer, with a curved pick tip at one end and a prototype hammer face at the other end. Although the current hammer still looks like a claw hammer at first glance, there are subtle differences. The tip of the pickaxe is thinner than before, and a sharp edge is forged on the edge, which looks a bit like a thick sword edge. The hammer surface at the other end is no longer smooth, but has sharp edges like a rasp, which looks very lethal.
Finally, a ring was made at the end of the hammer handle, and a thumb-thick chain was tied to it, but it looked only about a foot long, and I don't know what it was used for.
Wait a minute...something's wrong...
Luo Jun looked carefully and found that the hammer was not "lying" on the bottom of the furnace, but "embedded" in the bottom of the furnace!
That's right, because of the terrifying weight, the hammer actually dented the thick bottom of the furnace, and only half of it leaked out!
"This is..." It was Luo Jun, and there was a look of shock in his eyes under the mask.
"You can see it." Ling Yi said with a smile: "The Divine Machine Furnace has refined countless treasures, and this has never happened before. And looking at the current appearance, you may not be able to guess that there were originally three It only has one foot, but after you made the hammer, the three legs were directly inserted into the ground under the heavy pressure, making the bottom of the furnace sit on the ground..."
"Good guy..." Luo Jun couldn't help but take a breath, feeling that his hammer was embedded in the ground, and he couldn't even button it out...
“What about the treasure box?” Luo Jun asked curiously.
"You don't know much about the mechanism of the Divine Machine Furnace." Ling Kai added: "The treasure phantoms refined by the Divine Machine Furnace need to leave the furnace mouth before they are fully formed. Before that, they cannot be stored in the treasure box, and even The specific functions are not visible. We have tried many methods, but we can't get the hammer out. It seems to be waiting for you to appear. "
"But to be honest, based on my experience, it might not be that easy for Mr. Ye to get it out." Ling Yi sighed: "I'm not doubting Mr. Ye's strength. This divine furnace is the Ling family's most precious treasure. Not only is the material itself hard, but in order to prevent accidents, this underground secret room is also made of special materials, which are extremely strong. This hammer can deform the Shenji Furnace and the floor of the secret room by gravity alone. Its weight is simply incredible!"
“Although I haven't tried it yet, I guess that even if we invite Ling Yao, we may not be able to conquer this magic weapon.”
"Heavy? Interesting!" A smile appeared on Luo Jun's face. He originally thought that after the hammer was forged into a Noble Phantasm, it would increase its weight several times, but he didn't expect that the final effect would be so exaggerated?
Luo Jun rubbed his hands excitedly, then jumped into the divine machine furnace, squatted down, and stretched out his hand towards the hammer embedded in the bottom of the furnace.
Ling Yi and Ling Kai were waiting anxiously outside. They couldn't see the scene inside from here, and both of them were worried about Luo Jun.
Suddenly, a metallic twisting sound came from the furnace, followed by a rattling sound, as if something had been pulled out...
Could this voice be real?
The two looked at each other in confusion, and then they saw a figure jumping out of the stove, falling to the ground very lightly, and standing in front of them.
It's Luo Jun! I saw him smiling and holding the black hammer in his hand.
"Mr. Ye, did you succeed?" The expressions on the two people's faces were inexplicable surprise. Looking at Luo Jun's relaxed look, they asked, "Have you really surrendered this hammer?" Luo Jun nodded and smiled: "It's a little bit better than I thought. Keep it simple.”
Speaking, Luo Jun also threw the hammer in his hand upwards.
It didn't matter that this throw was made, Ling Yi and Ling Kai trembled with fear, fearing that the thing would fall to the ground and destroy the secret room.
However, the hammer circled in mid-air, and finally returned to Luo Jun's hand steadily. His expression was very relaxed, and the ground under his feet did not crack or deform.
Seeing this scene, both of them realized that this hammer has similar properties to the Shen Jiang Stone. It can also change its quality by injecting vitality. However, the previous people's vitality was too low and the offset gravity was limited, so they couldn't take it out.
“Congratulations, brother Ye, for getting a handy weapon!” Ling Kai immediately congratulated him, and Ling Yi on the side also reacted and asked curiously: “I just don't know, what special effects does this hammer have?”
Hearing his question, Luo Jun flipped his hand and put the hammer back into the treasure box: "This thing is already mine. I am very satisfied with it. It will also be my treasure at the bottom of the box in the future. As a trump card, naturally fewer people know the effect. The better.”
Hearing what he said, both of them felt a little sorry, but after all, Luo Jun's strength was there, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
"But..." Luo Jun changed the topic and said with a smile: "I prefer doing business. If you have information that I am interested in in exchange, I don't mind telling you the effect of this hammer."
Their eyes lit up when they heard this. This hammer is probably the most special treasure that has been created since the advent of the Divine Machine Furnace. The head of the family and the elders must also be very interested in this thing. If asked about the effect, they can't answer. Coming up, it's not easy to communicate...
“What does Mr. Ye want to know?”
"Well..." Luo Jun pretended to be thoughtful. To be honest, he didn't think much about it at first. He could tell the function of the Noble Phantasm with just one glance. In many cases, it wasn't really a secret, and he didn't intend to hide it at first. But after hearing Ling Yi's question, he suddenly thought that he might be able to gain some benefit from this.
"You think about it for yourselves..." Luo Jun waved his hand: "I also accepted the recruitment task. I must return to the main world before closing tomorrow. Before that, if you can't come up with any information that interests me, then I will I won't accompany you anymore.”
After saying that, Luo Jun put his hands behind his back, crossed the two of them, and walked out of the secret room.
After leaving the Wilderness Hunters Guild, Luo Jun was not in a hurry to go home. He first went to get a lot of Wilderness Vouchers, and then came to the commercial street. Looking at the Wilderness Hunters setting up stalls all over the street, he started a long-awaited purchase.
I disagree with the black market in Ningdong. Transactions here do not require barter. Wilderness coupons are hard currency. Luo Jun does not need to sell his Noble Phantasms. He just spends money like crazy and exchanges for a large number of Noble Phantasms.
It's just the same as before, mainly ordinary and fine, and occasionally there is a rare one that is considered first-class.
Haunted until nightfall, Luo Jun finally completed his shopping, returned to his residence, took a brief rest, practiced for a while, and then went to bed to rest.
Early the next morning, Luo Jun was awakened by a knock on the door. When he went downstairs and opened the door, he saw that it was Ling Kai standing outside the door.
"What? Did you get the information I'm interested in?" Luo Jun asked with a smile.
“Thanks to Brother Ye's reminder.” Ling Kai smiled and said, “In order to help you collect information, Ling Yi and I made a special trip back to the main world yesterday…”
"My reminder?" Luo Jun was a little curious and thought, I just made it up on the spur of the moment. I don't even know what information I want, so how can I remind you?
Ling Kai chuckled and said, "Didn't you say that you also participated in the recruitment mission... So the information about this recruitment mission must be what you need, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Jun's eyes really lit up.
“Come into the room and tell us in detail!”
Ling Kai entered the room and closed the door behind his back. Luo Jun poured him a glass of water: "What information do you know so far?"
Ling Kai took the water glass and said with a smile: "The mission has not started yet, and the information currently available is very limited... The more reliable ones are the people who have decided to participate in the mission."
“Oh?” Luo Jun asked curiously: “For example?”
“As far as I know, two people from the Ling family have signed up, and they are all members of the clan. One of them you have seen is Ling Fei, who is now in charge of the guide.”
Ling Fei... This person has not only met in the wilderness, but also in the academy... Anyone who can represent the Ling family to find someone from the academy is naturally a highly regarded expert.
“What about the other one?”
“The other one is called Ling Yu. He is a newly promoted member of the clan. He is the same generation as Ling Yao, Ling Xin and the others. He is considered a genius among the younger generation, second only to these two.”
“So he's a junior...” Luo Jun nodded, completely unaware that he might not be as old as Ling Yu...
“What else?”
"These two are the ones I confirmed to have signed up." Ling Kai continued: "In addition to them, Zhuge Lan from the Southwest Zhuge Family, Shi Yong from the Shuncheng Shi Family have also spread the news about signing up for the mission, as well as Tianjing University The creationist professor…”
"Okay..." Luo Jun interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I'm not very interested in who will participate in the mission. In comparison, I want more information about my opponent."
"Opponent information...Aren't you making things difficult for me..." Ling Kai frowned and said: "The opponents in the confrontation mission are either polluters or projections of people from other worlds. No one can confirm their identities."
Seeing Luo Jun sighing in disappointment, Ling Kai changed the subject: "However, yesterday we speculated on some possibilities regarding the mission mechanism... It was agreed in advance, it is not guaranteed, it can only be used as a reference..."
"Mission mechanism?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "How do you deduce this?"
Seeing that Luo Jun was very interested in this, Ling Kai smiled slightly and whispered: "Although Class A recruitment missions are rare, there have been nearly a hundred times since the Chaos missions began to appear, and some rules can always be summarized...such as , the probability of the mission mechanism that has appeared in recent years will be very low. Last night, Ling Yi and I summarized all the Class A recruitment missions on record, and finally confirmed the three most likely mechanisms."
As he spoke, Ling Kai took out a piece of paper and said, "The details are all written here. This is finally useful information."
Luo Jun took the paper and saw Ling Kai's hopeful face, so he naturally knew what he meant, so he reached out and took out the hammer, but he did not hand it over directly, but held it in his hand and let Ling Kai scan it.
One of them looked at the note and the other looked at the hammer. Almost at the same time, they took a breath of cold air.
