Chapter 128 Offline
Seeking aid from other cities in the Northern Alliance of the Human Race is inevitable, and the sooner the better, so flying soul tools must be equipped as soon as possible.
After building the city defense shield, a flying soul tool is needed. However, this flying soul tool is not simply one that has a flight function; the original flying soul tool version from Douluo Continent: Three Kingdoms is completely unsuitable for the Panlong Realm.
Panlong Realm is a wild and untamed continent, dominated by beastmen, or magical beastmen.
Long You traveled for more than an hour in the wasteland outside the city, and didn't know much about the situation, but He Caitou and Lin Zhengze did!
On the Panlong Realm continent, only flying magical beasts can fly freely. If humans take to the air, they are easily attacked by flying magical beasts. Just like in the real world, you shouldn't fly freely over the Star Dou Great Forest. Flying soul tools that can carry people on the Panlong Realm continent must have supporting facilities.
These supporting facilities need to take into account at least three aspects: concealment, passive trigger defense capabilities, and active detection capabilities.
It seems that achieving these three requirements is not difficult, after all, Longyou has already developed a series of mature soul tool products such as regional silent soul tools, regional optical invisibility soul tools, trigger-type soul tool defense shields, and comprehensive detection soul tools.
But is it really that simple? Of course not. If it were that simple, what would be the point of discussion? We could just take action.
Why can't Soul Masters who use Soul Tools be called Soul Masters? Is it because they lack the ability to create Soul Tools? No, it's because Soul Masters don't possess the Soul Tool control skills of professional Soul Masters.
Non-professional soul masters find it difficult to use two or more soul tools effectively at the same time (to use them effectively, not just to activate them and make them usable).
The ability to control a soul tool is a professional skill for a soul master. Using a soul tool isn't simply a matter of mindlessly inputting soul power; to unleash its full potential, a soul master needs to adjust their skills based on the tool's feedback.
Using two soul tools simultaneously means that a soul tool master needs the ability to operate in two parallel ways, like drawing a circle with their left hand and a square with their right. Otherwise, they will be busy adjusting one soul tool while neglecting the other.
Do you all remember when they were flying through the Star Dou Great Forest, Long You and He Caitou sandwiched Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Zhang Lexuan in the middle? That's because the other three people, apart from Long You and He Caitou, simply couldn't control the area silencing soul tool and the optical invisibility soul tool at the same time.
Now, considering that Long You and Lin Zhengze are already accustomed to the combat style of Soul Masters, their combat power is directly halved without the bonus of Soul Tool sets. As for He Caitou, a food-type Soul Master, he has no combat power at all without a Soul Tool.
Therefore, the only people who can be sent to other cities in the Northern Alliance to deliver the letters of appeal can be either Beibei or Xu Sanshi, along with a native of Northfrost City.
None of these three people possess the ability to simultaneously control multiple soul tools. In other words, it's unrealistic for Long You and the others to simply hand them a bunch of soul tools and say, "Everything has been prepared for you. As long as you can use them well, you'll definitely be able to fly safely."
It was said that only one flying soul tool was needed, but Long You and the others needed to load all the other supporting soul tool functions onto one flying soul tool.
This means integrating the flying soul tool with these supporting soul tools into a unified whole, allowing Beibei and others to perform one-click, foolproof operations on the fused soul tools.
However, fusing the functions of a soul tool is a very advanced operation. First, when Long You and others were making the soul tool, they needed to inscribe the core magic arrays that originally belonged to different soul tools together; second, for the fused soul tool to be used normally and to achieve one-click, foolproof operation, it must have auxiliary intelligence.
Leaving aside the auxiliary intelligence, this thing needs to be made of spirit-forged metal at the very least, so Long You, He Caitou, and Lin Zhengze have to do it themselves.
That's not the difficult part. The real challenge lies in how to inscribe the core magic arrays together. The core of the soul tool for inscribing the core magic arrays has a limited volume, so inscribing them together isn't simply a matter of arranging them in a row. It requires careful design and calculation of the circuitry of each core magic array to achieve nested inscription without interfering with each other.
In the real world, this wouldn't be very difficult. The calculations and engraving of the circuitry could all be handled by Long You's special martial spirit.
Unfortunately, this is the Panlong Realm VR virtual game world. Long You's martial spirit ability is too overpowered, and the game won't allow it to load (the model can't be built, which also shows that Panlong Realm is only version 1.0).
This is like solving a complex math problem with five or more digits without a calculator. Can you solve it? Yes. Do you want to solve it? No.
Whether he wanted to or not, he had to think about it; it was a prerequisite, a necessary foundation. He left the rest to He Caitou and Lin Zhengze, and Long You took out a stack of white paper and began to sketch on the table.
No more cheating, no more calculators, let's do it manually. Instead of complaining, maybe you could try a few more times and figure it out easily?
However, Long You was, after all, a person favored by fortune. Sure enough, just as Long You began to write, dark black characters appeared before his eyes once again.
{Dear trial participants, the Panlong Realm will close in ten minutes. Please prepare yourselves; you will be forced to exit after ten minutes, or you may voluntarily exit within ten minutes.}
Upon seeing this message, Long You instantly perked up. He slammed his pen on the table. "What's the point of calculating? I'll go back and start cheating!" Forced logout in ten minutes? No way, no way, I'm logging off now.
Just now, the Lord of Beishuang City had already focused his energy and issued a city-wide announcement: All residents of Beishuang City must remain vigilant and spend the entire night on the city walls in preparation for battle.
With this order in place, Long You no longer needed to worry about anyone suddenly coming to the blacksmith shop looking for him and his men within the next ten minutes. As for what happens after ten minutes? After ten minutes, the Panlong Realm will be locked, meaning that time within the Panlong Realm will no longer flow.
As long as Long You and the others log in in time when the Panlong Realm reopens, then to the original inhabitants of the Panlong Realm, it will be as if Long You and the other gamers had never left.
