Chapter 52 Preparing for Action
By the way, "magic rifles" similar to "psionic guns" really belong to a "strategic weapon"?
no.
For the plane of Azeroa, it is at most a tactical weapon.
Zhou Ming actually successfully fooled Emperor Picaro, making him believe that the magic rifle is a "strategic weapon".
But in fact, this weapon is actually a relatively useless thing.
Something works, but not much.
Why did he say that?
The power of magic is far greater than that of the weapon itself.
Take Zhou Ming as an example. After he has advanced to become an intermediate magician, he can achieve the same shooting effect as the "magic rifle" in many ways after learning several earth magic.
For example, the first-level earth magic [Stone Bullet Shock] can rub out a bullet-shaped "stone bullet", add a rotation to the bullet body, and then give it a high-speed flight forward... The first-level earth magic [Stone Bullet Shock] can be turned into [Bullet Shock].
Except for the greater the magic power consumption, the other effects are basically the same.
But Zhou Ming doesn't need to spend money to buy a "magic rifle" or load bullets. He has less movement and no bad power.
So in this world, there is potential for "magic rifles" and "magic cannons", but there is really no need.
As long as the magician's strength is strong enough and supplemented by a certain amount of creativity, every magician is a human-shaped self-propelled magic rifle, and is a human-shaped self-propelled magic cannon.
For Zhou Ming, he can play hundreds of tricks without spending half a brain cell and half a gold coin to create something like a "magic rifle".
In fact, in the previous copy of "Lingyuan Continent", he might not have to invent things like "Lingyuan Guns" and "Lingyuan Cannons". High-powered monks can achieve the same attack effect as guns and cannons... Of course, there are very few monks who can achieve this level.
Similarly, it is the same in this magic plane. Zhou Ming can do not rely on magic rifles and release powerful attacks, but for most indigenous magicians, magic rifles do have a bit of the meaning of "strategic weapon".
After all, it is a problem of creative thinking.
Gray Magic School, the tenth floor of the school library.
Zhou Ming entered here.
Then, without wasting a second, I got a magic book and couldn't wait to read it.
Five hundred magic books, three hours, the time he allocated to each book was only more than 21 seconds, and he had to use both hands and read them quickly.
The system in the brain also turned on the scanning mode, recording all the pictures and text information in the book into the database.
Three hours later.
Excluding some low-reference books, Zhou Ming has scanned most magic books.
The system has acquired a lot of high-value knowledge.
The plane resolution has been increased by 3.5 percentage points, and the meditation method has been optimized again. The cultivation speed is 152% of that of the mass magician... It has been increased by 7 percentage points compared to before.
So far.
Zhou Ming's trip to the Dolan Empire was basically successful.
In addition, he also used a relatively sufficient supply of medicinal materials to turn the income of tens of millions of gold coins earned by "Leilin Potion Shop" into 5 [Magic Spring] potions and 45 [Super Magic Potion] (the preparation success rate increased to 80%).
Take 5 [Magic Spring] potions and eat them.
The magic value skyrocketed by 200 points.
Zhou Ming’s personal cultivation data is now as follows:
Level: Intermediate Magician
Magic value: 431.212 (next level 500)
Perception range: 5.75m (next level 10m)
Soul Frequency: 1.24 (Next Level 1.30)
Energy value: 70 (can be meditated)
Judging from these data, Zhou Ming's cultivation is actually not far from the next level of "high-level magician".
Judging from the magic value, in half a month (he now increases magic power on average every day), he can exceed 500.
More than a year ago, he was just an intern magician with no more than 20 points in magic.
Now he is almost becoming a high-level magician, and his growth and progress are really amazing.
So what is his next plan?
Go back to the Kingdom of Adude directly?
Of course not.
There are still a few people waiting for him to rescue him.
The elf Tika, the soldier chief Gerva, who was imprisoned in the underground cell of the Duke's Mansion, had been tortured for three months, and Duke Dulisa had no intention of releasing them.
Because the elf little princess Alia begged, they did not kill them.
It's probably going to keep shutting down.
Could it be that Zhou Ming has been sitting there for the past three months and letting them suffer?
Of course not.
He just chose to be unstable and focus on spying on intelligence.
After three months of spying and money bribery, the entire Duke's Mansion has now been penetrated into a sieve by him.
After tens of millions of gold coins were smashed, there were 23 male servants, 27 maids, 58 guards and 6 gatekeepers... more than 100 people were successfully bribed by Zhou Ming... accounting for about one-third of the total number of servants in the Duchess's Mansion.
Recently, Zhou Ming set up a plan to buy the Duke Du Lisa's most loyal lackey and the highest-ranking butler of the inner-domestic government, Habits.
And from Habits, he got the layout diagram of the entire Duchess's Mansion.
For Zhou Ming, the Duchess Mansion is now a beauty who has stripped her clothes completely, and for him, there is no privacy at all.
Tika and Gerjeff, who were locked in the dungeon, have not suffered much in the past month. After Zhou Ming bribed the prison guards, they not only enjoyed the life of three meals a day, eight dishes each, and a few bottles of [healing potions], and their injuries were basically healed.
And through the jailer's message, Zhou Ming told them: If he wanted to save them, he would just ask the jailer to take out the keys and open the prison door, and he would let them go out tonight, but because of their stupidity and rash actions, he planned to let them stay in the jail for a longer time and reflect on their mistakes!
Especially Tika, she had to write a "Review Letter" of more than 10,000 words every day to review her own faults. She would write it for a month first. Until a certain Review Letter touch him, he would consider letting them go and promise to help her rescue the elf princess.
Tika Guozhen sat in front of the table every day, holding a quill in her hand, racking her brains to conceive the content of the "Secretary Letter".
The warrior leader Gajeff in the next cell, he only ate and slept every day, and lived a comfortable life.
But in the past month, this slim soldier who was tortured, gained more than 20 pounds.
Seeing this scene, the jailers were so happy that they not only added two extra dishes to Gerve for each meal, but also often brought him midnight snacks to eat four meals a day.
It turned out that Zhou Ming had discussed with these jailers that for every 1 kilogram of weight, Zhou Ming would give them a reward of 10,000 gold coins, 20 kilograms, that would be 200,000 gold coins. How could they be unhappy?
As for Duke Du Lisa, after tortured them for more than a month, she almost forgot about the two figures, and even thought that they should have died... After all, the death penalty in her Duke's mansion was prepared for the dead, and there was no reason why the entrants came out alive.
But she didn't notice that her Duke's mansion had actually been penetrated into a sieve.
Even what she did every day, what activities she attended, and how many times she had intimate with Aliya at night all turned into information and fell on Zhou Ming's desk.
Now, Zhou Ming, who is completely idle, plans to give this duke a good lesson to everyone.
A meaningful lesson.
Zhou Ming murmured to himself:
"At the auction, in order to get the elf princess, you took out your territory's economic output for three years, with a total of 15 million gold coins."
"In your Duke's Mansion, you only pay 10 gold coins per month, 15 gold coins for the gatekeeper, 20 to 100 gold coins for the guards, and Habits, the most paid steward, has only 150 gold coins per month."
"They have poor income, but they see that you spend money every day, wine, wine, meat and forests, and you don't have a day's consumption of less than 1,000 gold coins, and you still owe 8 million gold coins from all kinds of money lenders."
"In order to pay off your debt, you have been reducing your servant's benefits over the past two years."
"Our extravagance and luxury are increasing day by day."
"In this case, how could they have no objection to you?"
"If I give me more time and I will buy all the servants in your Duke's Mansion, what's impossible?"
"However, I have limited time, so I won't show you such a difficult operation."
"I'll let you open your eyes and see how I took away your favorite 'Little Tiantian' for only spending 15 million gold coins!"
Zhou Ming plans to start his operation from tomorrow and show off a wave of "suffocating operations" in front of Duke Du Lisa.
