I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 85

Chapter 85

“Moo!”

A terrifying sound echoed through the sky above Stone City. Fang Bai looked up at the illusory image of an Armored Mammoth Elephant looming over Stone City. The sound had become faint by the time it reached Novice Village, but Fang Bai still felt a suffocating sensation, as if he had lost the will to resist.

Just moments later, roars of monsters erupted one after another. The entire Stone City seemed to have transformed into a demonic realm, with demons running rampant.

After a while, the phantom above Stone City slowly vanished, and the world became quiet again. However, everyone knew… something big was about to happen!

With a solemn expression, Fang Bai brought Bai Qing and Wang Kai into his container house. He first looked at Bai Qing.

“Bai Qing, how many spell scrolls did you sell today?”

“All of them. Eight Fireball Spell Scrolls and four Water Shield Spell Scrolls.”

“Hmm? All sold out? Which faction bought the most?”

Fang Bai was slightly taken aback. He had initially thought that selling seven Fireball Spell Scrolls would be good enough. After all, this was the first time these people were buying them, and they weren’t aware of their power. They would buy some, but certainly not too many.

“Wu Xing.”

Bai Qing uttered the name of the vice president of Qing Stone Mountain Company. Fang Bai was slightly surprised.

“Him? Didn’t he bring any elemental materials? You didn’t give him credit, did you? Now that the factions have been wiped out, we can’t collect the debt.”

“No credit. Wu Xing didn’t bring elemental materials, but he brought three Crystal Cores and a pile of Copper Coins. As soon as he heard that his company had been destroyed, he immediately used Copper Coins to exchange for a batch of elemental materials from other factions. He used the elemental materials and Crystal Cores to buy up all the remaining spell scrolls.”

“Decisive.”

Fang Bai couldn’t help but praise him. Looking at the three Crystal Cores that Bai Qing handed over, as well as the elemental materials that had just been brought in, he nodded slightly.

“Alright, you can go back now.”

“Okay.”

Bai Qing was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Fang Bai. He asked, “Boss, are you a Mage?”

Fang Bai immediately replied, “Yes.”

Hearing Fang Bai’s straightforward answer, a hint of surprise and a smile appeared on Bai Qing’s face.

“Okay, then I’ll go back now?”

“Mm, oh, right. Don’t call me Boss anymore. Call me Village Chief. It sounds better. Boss always feels a bit strange. Also, our village will be called Yi Hao Village from now on. Simple and clear.”

“Okay, Village Chief.”

At this time, Wang Kai looked at Fang Bai with surprise.

“Village Chief, you’re a Mage!”

“Yes, is there a problem?”

“No problem, no problem. It just feels amazing.”

Wang Kai smiled, and Fang Bai smiled as well. He reached out and handed over a token.

“Really? Keep it a secret. Also, take this and help me with an experiment.”

Wang Kai was taken aback. When he saw the token clearly, he hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

“Okay, alright.”

Seeing that Wang Kai didn’t show any signs of refusal, Fang Bai was stunned.

“?!”

He was still formulating his words, trying to find a way to persuade Wang Kai, but he didn’t expect Wang Kai to agree directly. He was so straightforward?

“Is it because I demonstrated powerful strength and the identity of a Mage today?”

Fang Bai muttered to himself, feeling that things might not be that simple.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it.”

Fang Bai comforted himself, then took Wang Kai to an enclosed area behind the village. He first made space for Wang Kai to transform.

This time, Fang Bai observed the transformation process with his Mental Power.

At the moment of transformation, Fang Bai seemed to see a spell model enveloping Wang Kai, but before Fang Bai could see the spell model clearly, Wang Kai had already completed his transformation.

He had turned into a Spider Demon.

“The method of transformation is also the spell model releasing a spell. From this perspective, this Transformation Token is just a Spell Scroll inscribed with a transformation spell model. The only difference is that it can be used multiple times.”

Suddenly, Fang Bai felt that the equipment produced by the system wasn’t so magical anymore.

It was just that simple.

Fang Bai shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his mind, and his Mental Power enveloped Wang Kai.

At this time, Wang Kai was using the skills of his two front legs to constantly hammer the elemental materials that had just been collected. Fang Bai probed his Mental Power into the Spider Demon’s body to perceive its spell model.

During this period of research, Fang Bai had solved some of his doubts, but at the same time, other doubts had arisen that needed to be verified on the Spider Demon.

However, as soon as Fang Bai probed his Mental Power into the Spider Demon’s body, he found that his perception sensitivity seemed to have increased significantly. Using the same Mental Power to probe, probing the same Spider Demon, he could now perceive more details.

“Is it because after advancing to a One-Ring Mage, my Mental Power has undergone a qualitative change?”

Fang Bai smiled slightly. This way, he could detect more details with his Mental Power.

Fang Bai’s Mental Power immersed itself in the Spider Demon’s body, probing its internal spell structures and nodes one by one. He verified his previous research results, collected the data he needed, and studied the way spell nodes existed in the Spider Demon’s body.

After about an hour and a half, the elemental materials had been completely hammered into fine powder by Wang Kai. When his physical strength was about to reach its limit, Fang Bai said, “Wang Kai, try to sever the connection between the Crystal Core and the spell model in your head.”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Wang Kai immediately mobilized his power to cut off the connection between the Crystal Core and the spell model in his body. Fang Bai closely observed the Crystal Core, the spell model, and every reaction of the Spider Demon’s body.

The moment the Crystal Core and the spell model were disconnected, the nodes and elemental channels in the spell model disappeared one after another. After only a few seconds, Wang Kai was directly beaten back to his original form. In the open space, Wang Kai held the Transformation Token, looking somewhat uncertain.

“Just now?”

But Fang Bai beside him was full of surprise.

“Sure enough, sure enough. The spell model is just a simple gathering of elements, nothing special, unable to exist independently. It only exists based on the Crystal Core. If that’s the case…”

Fang Bai had an idea in his mind. He immediately took out a Spider Demon Crystal Core, looked at Wang Kai, then at the Spider Demon Crystal Core. Wang Kai recovered and saw Fang Bai’s gaze. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a sense of unease. He immediately walked quickly to Fang Bai’s side and stuffed the Transformation Token into his hand.

“Village Chief, since it’s over, I’ll go level up. I must become stronger as soon as possible and contribute to the village!”

After Wang Kai finished speaking, he was about to slip away, but Fang Bai grabbed him.

“You really want to become stronger and contribute to the village, right?”

“Yes, yes, so Village Chief, let me go level up!”

Wang Kai felt more and more uneasy. Fang Bai smiled slightly when he saw this.

“Since you want to become stronger, come with me.”

“Ah, Village Chief…”

Wang Kai’s face suddenly turned bitter. Fang Bai laughed and scolded him when he saw this.

“It’s a good thing. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Don’t make me look for Wang Xiong.”

“Ah, a good thing? Forget it, I’ll do it. Wang Xiong is not willing. I’m willing to sacrifice myself and contribute to the village.”

Fang Bai smiled and took Wang Kai back to his container house.

When Wang Kai sat down, Fang Bai immediately began to probe the internal structure of his body with his Mental Power. At the same time, he took out a piece of draft paper and wrote down the spell model of the Blood-red Shield on it.

Simultaneously, after probing the internal structure of Wang Kai’s body with his Mental Power, he also wrote down the coordinates of his bones and muscles on the paper.

Fang Bai tried his best to find the relative positions of Wang Kai’s bones and important muscles and draw a model.

When Fang Bai conceived the spell model of the Blood-red Shield and the model of important bones and muscles in his mind and overlapped them, recording the overlapping points and adjacent points, he recorded these points one by one.

What Fang Bai wanted to do was actually very simple. He wanted Wang Kai to have the strength and skills of a Spider Demon.

He wanted to turn Wang Kai into an elemental warrior who could cultivate and become stronger on his own.

That was all.
