Chapter 876: 273. Strength Surges_3
Noland Lee slowly nodded:
“In most cases, 180 ‘tenacity’ is more useful than 180 ‘strength.’ It seems that my physical body alone can now be immune to many low-level offensive spells.”
The tips of Noland Lee’s right hand flicked continuously.
Level 20, Level 30, Level 40, Level 50…
Various levels of “Death Two Finger” touched down on his left arm.
Tingling, itchy skin, slight sourness, mild pricking, significant pain.
...
The higher the level, the more pronounced the pain became.
Finally, when Noland Lee cast a Level 60 “Death Two Finger,” two charred wounds emitting black smoke appeared on his left arm.
Noland Lee took out a healing potion to expedite the healing of the injuries.
“There’s a conclusion now. Offensive spells of Level 60 are a boundary for me. Energy rays below Level 60 can’t inflict effective damage on me. Only energy rays of Level 60 and above can leave wounds on my body.”
Noland Lee thought for a few seconds, drew his treasured heavy revolver, and fired a shot at his left arm.
“Bang.”
The gun’s muzzle flashed, and the bullet whirled out, burrowing into Noland Lee’s skin.
“Pop~”
His skin, tough as it was, easily deflected the bullet head.
The bullet, deadly to any ordinary person, couldn’t even leave a mark.
“So it turns out that, without realizing it, I’ve become capable of catching bullets with my body…”
Noland Lee touched his arm and showed a pleased expression.
The bullet just now was too weak; he didn’t even feel the slight tingling that comes from a mosquito bite.
“Then, it seems that in the future, I can be completely fearless of offensive spells below Level 60. Whether it be energy blasts or metal magic projectiles, they cannot inflict effective damage on me.”
Noland Lee’s eyes flickered as he mused:
“Interesting. 180 ‘tenacity’ corresponds to a Level 180 ‘Strong Metal Fusion’ Meditation Method, which is just entering the standard of the Sixth Ring. The spell level of the Sixth Ring is Level 60.
“With my 180 ‘tenacity,’ I can just withstand an attack spell of the Sixth Ring or lower without injury…
“Why do I feel more and more like the power system of this world has been artificially arranged, could this also be the function of ‘Ascension Fortress’?”
Noland Lee didn’t dwell too much on this phenomenon.
He stored the Magic Target away, took out the Magic Stone from his Magic Pouch, and extracted Wind energy from it.
He made five ‘Sonic Explosion Magic Scrolls’ in one breath, preparing the strategic materials required by Lonco Pomida.
Annihilating sea monsters would require a lot of thunder and lightning energy.
The 15 Elemental Energy Reactors Noland Lee currently had were far from enough.
He had to create Elemental Energy Reactors with higher degrees of completion.
Noland Lee took a deep breath, mobilized his intention, and drew energy from the four types of magic from the mountain-like pile of Magic Stones.
Rock and soil, Wind, Fire, Water, four different energy masses hovered in the air.
Noland Lee compressed their volumes, over and over again, until they were about one third of a meter in diameter.
With arms raised on either side of his body as if embracing, he virtually held the four energy masses in his arms.
“System, consume 7 million Points of Energy to activate ‘Mold Energy Art,’ targeting these four energy masses in front of me.”
Noland Lee silently recited this in his mind.
The four energy masses suddenly merged together into a sphere that kept flashing with four different radiations.
The sphere expanded, contracted, twitched, and twisted, with Noland Lee’s face illuminated by the violently changing radiance.
The cost to attempt energy molding once was 5.25 million gold coins and 7 million Points of Energy.
The 5.25 million gold coins were the expenses for purchasing the Magic Stones.
If this attempt succeeded, he would gain an Elemental Energy Reactor with a completion percentage of 10%.
If it failed, there would be a dispersion of energy, leading to a loss of 30% to 50% of the gold coins spent on the Magic Stones.
‘Energy Molding Magic’ for Noland Lee was at Level 40, giving him a 40% success rate for shaping energy.
According to mathematical expectation, calculating the number of successes tonight is meaningless; it all depends on luck.
Three hours later.
Noland Lee had consumed a total of 35 million gold coins and 70 million Energy Points, and after 10 consecutive attempts, he had made 5 Elemental Energy Reactors with a completeness of 10%.
“Shaping Magic Academy” level +2, is now Level 42.
To distinguish this batch of Elemental Reactors with a completeness of 10% from those with a completeness of one-thousandth, Noland Lee named the 10% complete reactors Type I Elemental Reactors.
…
[Name] Type I Elemental Reactor
[Type] Product of Shaping Energy Magic
[Operating Principle] Elemental Synergy
[Working Status] Not working, dormant noveldrama
Energy Output Ratio: 0%
Energy Output Type: Thunder and Lightning Energy
Rated Energy Output: 40,000 Points of Thunder and Lightning Energy Per Second
Energy Storage Balance: Approximately 1.6 billion Points of Thunder and Lightning Energy
[Construct Value] 7000/7000
…
If subsequently reactors with a completeness of 20% or 30% were made, they would be named Type II and Type III, respectively, and so on.
With the Type I Elemental Reactor, Noland Lee would need only a minute or two to prepare to condense a super powerful thundercloud capable of penetrating a Tenth-Ring Wizard’s shield.
The power boost driven by gold coins and a massive amount of Energy Points made Noland Lee daze for a few seconds.
“This increase in combat power is nothing. My goal is to defeat a Tenth Ring Battle Wizard in a second, especially those who stack their resistance up to 99.9%. My current combat power is not enough, nowhere near enough…”
Noland Lee steadied his mind and looked at the five Type I Elemental Reactors floating in front of him.
The Type I Elemental Reactor was quite large, a blue ring with a diameter of about 0.3 meters.
Noland Lee stored four of the Type I Elemental Reactors and used “Mind Capture” to control one to exit the compartment.
Nolin was working next to the Craftsman Table.
When she heard the sound of the compartment door opening, she subconsciously turned her head and was drawn to the glowing blue object next to Noland Lee.
“Sir, what is this…” Nolin pushed up the frame of her glasses.
“This is a magical device I’ve created.”
Noland Lee approached the table to see the document and the nine Magic Pens writing rapidly.
He placed the Elemental Reactor in front of Nolin and said:
“It can output 40,000 Points of Thunder and Lightning Energy per second and work continuously for over 6000 seconds. What do you think would be a good use for such a magical device?”
“Please wait a moment, sir. I need some time to observe it.”
Nolin touched the surface with her finger and then picked it up to feel its weight.
To accommodate her, Noland Lee activated the Elemental Reactor, releasing a small cluster of blue, flashing thunder and lightning energy.
Nolin looked at the energy cluster, momentarily startled:
“Huh? Sir, this magical device you’ve created has quite a few similarities to the Metal Creation Group’s cold fusion reactor. Both produce energy related to electricity, and neither contains radioactive materials, requiring little demand on the operational environment.”
“Hmm, your speculation is correct. This is a magical device I’ve created based on the cold fusion reactor. I’ve named it the Elemental Reactor.”
Noland Lee pointed at the Elemental Reactor:
“The thunder and lightning energy used for my lightning magic spells and devices all come from it. With your scientific knowledge, can you think of any efficient ways to utilize it?”
Nolin activated her No.2 Mental Thread, calculating as she spoke:
“Sir, there are countless ways to efficiently use electrical energy. I think you could start by considering this set of plans…”
Nolin controlled the nine Magic Pens to write a document and handed it to Noland Lee.
Noland Lee skimmed the content and found himself involuntarily lost in thought.
…I never imagined I’d have the fortune to recreate the cornerstone of an information civilization with the power of magic.
