I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 112

Chapter 112

“The explosive power of Fireball is great, which is an advantage, but it’s not very convenient in some situations.”

Fang Bai pondered.

It was definitely impossible for one Fireball spell to conquer all situations. No matter how strong a spell was, it couldn’t adapt to all circumstances. As a Mage, choosing spells according to the situation was the right way.

Therefore, it was also very reasonable to create a suitable spell when there wasn’t one available.

“If I really used Fireball to bombard the market area, it would inevitably cause accidental injuries and large-scale destruction.”

No matter how crazy a person was, they wouldn’t fire a howitzer at their own territory. Fang Bai wouldn’t either. After all, he couldn’t destroy the market area that others hadn’t destroyed.

Therefore, Fireball wasn’t suitable for law enforcement; its killing range was too large.

Fang Bai thought about it and also ruled out Wind Blade.

Although Wind Blade had high accuracy and a fast firing rate, its penetration was also quite strong, which was a disadvantage in the market area.

With one Wind Blade, cutting through a few people would be like child’s play.

Finally, Fang Bai set his sights on Lightning.

“Lightning, an absolute single-target attack, with high attack speed and difficult to dodge.

Its attack power is concentrated, and its single-target attack strength is high. A task that requires ten Fireballs to cover and strike might be completed with just three Lightning spells.

Moreover, no matter what, Lightning wouldn’t cause damage to buildings or too many accidental injuries.”

For Fang Bai, for Yi Hao Village, it was acceptable for the Field Operations Team to cause a few accidental injuries while maintaining order, as long as the number wasn’t too high.

Fang Bai pondered for a moment and immediately started to study the spell model after finding it suitable.

Fang Bai needed to rush to produce a batch of Lightning spell scrolls. Currently, it was no problem to use the remaining prestige of last night’s Fireball to deter these people. But after a long time, it wouldn’t work once these people recovered.

However, just as Fang Bai immersed himself in his research, Bai Qing suddenly came to him.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Bai Qing’s expression was slightly strange, then he said,

“There’s a chemistry teacher who came out of the city and wants to join us.”

“The city, a chemistry teacher?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Bai Qing nodded.

“He said that the bombs he makes can kill magical beasts. After joining us, as long as we provide enough raw materials, he can make high-powered bombs.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Bai temporarily put down his research, thought for a moment, and then asked,

“What are his requirements?”

Fang Bai understood that this kind of talent coming to their door must have requirements.

After all, if he could survive coming out of the city, then there would be no problem for him to live comfortably in Shen Shan Town. There was no need to run to join Yi Hao Village.

Fang Bai saw this very clearly.

After all, he wasn’t the protagonist of a novel, whose mere presence would attract people from all sides.

Unless it was magic.

“He requested that we build a laboratory for him. He wants to research and produce more powerful bombs, even magic bombs.

In addition, he also wants to meet with our Mage and have a talk.”

As expected.

Fang Bai pondered for a moment after hearing this and then said,

“Let him make a list, and the items on the list must be common items.

As long as he can make bombs with these things, the greater the power, the better his treatment will be, the larger the laboratory will be, and the greater the village’s support for him will be.

As for whether I will see him or not, I can see him as long as he demonstrates sufficient ability.”

“Okay, I understand. Also, there are the members of Ding Shan’s team. They said that if Ding Shan joins, they also want to join, just join the Field Operations Team. This…”

“Don’t ask me about this. Discuss it with Wang Xiong. After all, you are in charge of internal affairs, and Wang Xiong is in charge of field operations.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Fang Bai stood there and pondered.

He didn’t mind meeting this chemistry teacher.

As for whether this would expose the fact that he was a Mage…

Actually, Fang Bai had never concealed it. It was a situation where he didn’t brag, he was low-key, but he didn’t hide it either.

With elemental materials being brought in and spell scrolls being taken out every day, who didn’t know that he was a Mage?

It was just that everyone was too lazy to mention it. If Fang Bai wanted to say he was an archer, then let him be an archer.

Anyway, whoever believed it was a fool.

And Fang Bai didn’t care even more.

However, he was a survivor from the city after all, and he was a chemistry teacher who could make bombs…

Fang Bai pondered.

“One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should be vigilant.

After all, the strength is here. If he really holds a bomb and wants to die with me, it’s not worth it.”

After thinking for a moment, Fang Bai took out a spell model.

It was a spell model of a bug-like magical beast. Fang Bai named it Earth Splitting Technique!

As the name suggested, it could split soil and rocks like water, thereby achieving the effect of burrowing into the ground.

Actually, it was said to be burrowing, but it was similar to an earthworm burrowing. Wherever it passed, it would leave obvious traces of soil disturbance or holes formed by the soil being pushed aside. This spell also picked on the environment. The harder and denser the target, the slower it would split, and the greater the consumption.

So, this spell was only useful in the mud. It could also be used in rocks, but the speed was slow and the consumption was high. Fang Bai originally thought it was useless, but now he thought of a use for it…

“Earth Splitting Technique!”

Fang Bai first found two oxygen tanks and a 20-meter-long hose. Then, his main body, which had been absent for a long time, came out of the meditation state and walked out of the container house.

Holding the oxygen tank and pulling the hose, Fang Bai cast the Earth Splitting Technique on himself.

With a thought, immediately, under the effect of the spell, he quickly sank underground, the soil surging to both sides.

Feet, calves, thighs, waist, head…

In the blink of an eye, Fang Bai’s entire body was submerged in the earth, and the soil on the original spot closed up again.

And as Fang Bai descended, a plastic pipe followed him down. When the soil recovered, it also clamped the plastic pipe in it.

Fang Bai’s main body didn’t stop until it had sunk to a depth of about ten meters underground. After using the Earth Splitting Technique to “squeeze” out a space of about two square meters underground, he stopped.

In the darkness underground, Fang Bai nodded with satisfaction. His main body immediately sank into meditation again.

It didn’t matter where his main body meditated. Anyway, his projection was outside. Fang Bai wasn’t worried about suffering from claustrophobia underground.

And with his main body underground and his projection outside, he wasn’t afraid of any danger. No matter how powerful a homemade bomb was, it would appear very weak in the face of a ten-meter-thick soil barrier.

Fang Bai walked to the sinking area, cut off the exposed part of the plastic pipe, and only left the pipe flush with the ground for air exchange and mental power extension.

After completing this step, Fang Bai moved the container house to the top of the hole, first covering the hole, and then reopening the hole on the floor of the container house.

After completing this step, Fang Bai shifted his attention back to the spell model.

In this situation, Fang Bai wasn’t afraid to see anyone.

Even if Yi Hao Village was destroyed, Fang Bai wouldn’t die.

“Lightning…”

Fang Bai muttered and immediately began to make the spell model for Lightning.

At this moment, Bai Qing came to Ding Shan. After stating Fang Bai’s requirements, Ding Shan immediately wrote a list and gave it to Bai Qing.

“Just prepare according to this.”

Bai Qing took the list and glanced at it. After confirming that the items on it were all common items, he immediately sent someone to prepare them.

With the stall area, it wasn’t too difficult for Bai Qing to buy anything, and he quickly gathered all the items.

After handing everything to Ding Shan, Ding Shan only thought for a moment before he started working among the bottles and jars.

Ding Shan was very serious.

Firstly, this was professional attitude.

Secondly, Ding Shan also needed to demonstrate his abilities in order to obtain the status and resources he needed.

In the end, everything still depended on ability.

While Ding Shan was undergoing the joining test, other survivors from the city also gathered around Fang Bai’s shop.

There was a wooden board next to the shop with many photos pasted on it. These photos were all of magical beasts. These were the magical beasts that Fang Bai already had, which was the list of magical beasts that had been captured alive and couldn’t be exchanged for 100 spell scrolls.

Some city survivors memorized these and were about to go capture magical beasts when they saw someone run to the wooden board and update the content on it.

“Daily limit of 80 Fireball scrolls and 20 Water Escape scrolls. For those who exchange captured magical beasts for spell scrolls, a 20% down payment of scrolls is required, and the remaining amount must be paid within a week. A maximum of 5 magical beasts are accepted per day.”

“Huh? Is Fang Bai out of spell scrolls? Why is there a purchase limit? And buying magical beasts is actually paid in installments?”

Everyone was a little puzzled and even had some complaints. But when those city survivors heard about the limit, they couldn’t help but look at each other and immediately quickened their pace to leave.

There was a limit, so they had to hurry up and get the scrolls first. However, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly turned back and walked to the shop.

“Boss, I’ll take two Water Shield scrolls and one Fireball scroll.”
