The researchers in the secret base were all living a happy life.
What was happiness?
Birds had worms to eat, Ultraman could fight little monsters, and scientists had research projects. Also, they had money, equipment, and manpower.
Also, they were in touch with a brand-new field.
Quantum wave reading, quantum entanglement, microphysics, string theory verification, space jump, and particle collisions were all too insignificant.
Human bodies … Human bodies that could use superpowers. That was the most important research in the future.
The environment of the universe was too restrictive for human bodies. High temperature, low temperature, radiation, and meteorite impacts could all turn human beings into dead objects in the universe!
Completely relying on external protection was not particularly safe, especially when the technology was not fully matured. When exploring the universe, the slightest mistake could ruin years or even decades of research and hard work of a team.
Wealth and lives would be greatly wasted.
It might even undermine the confidence of the researchers in the field.
Nobody could guarantee that nothing would go wrong in the experiments and exploration projects.
Although robots could be counted on, the technology was not mature yet, and it wasn't as accurate and convenient as human eyes.
Besides, it wasn't enough for robots to walk out of the universe.
Humans had to really walk out of the universe.
If human bodies could be stronger, for example, to resist high and low temperatures, there would be a lot more options for them to enter the universe.
Many things would be much more convenient and simple.
And Roland's appearance made some progress in this direction.
Although they had only measured Roland's physical reactions during the explosion experiment and Language Proficiency, they had only measured Roland's physical reactions.
However, in the explosion, Roland stood within the effective killing radius and was still unharmed, which greatly encouraged the researchers.
It was not hard to tell how strong Roland's shock-resistance was from the explosion.
Also, there seemed to be room for growth.
That was quite impressive.
In the next few days, Roland spent all his time in the underground laboratory except for playing games in the virtual cabin at night.
Not to mention the delicious food here, the tonics that could strengthen the kidneys looked, smelled, and tasted great. As expected of a great chef.
That made his Magic Power Transformation much more efficient.
More importantly … when Roland discussed the application of magic with the group of researchers, it often gave him a lot of inspiration.
For example, Magic Shield. After Roland tested the effect of blocking the training bullets, a bald middle-aged researcher next to him said, "It's a waste for you to take it head-on like this."
"Oh, what should I do?"
"You have to know that force can be transmitted and transformed." The bald, middle-aged researcher said, "I've checked the absorption rate of your Magic Shield … It's indeed very good, almost a hundred percent. But can't you transfer the force of the impact? For example, you can conduct the force under your feet and turn the magic shield layer below into a vibrating membrane. Wouldn't it be easy to divert most of the impact force? "
Roland suddenly understood.
"If there's no ground for you to conduct the impact, then turn the Magic Shield into a 360-degree vibration mode. Although it's a bit stupid, the Magic Shield can still disperse some of the impact energy into the air." The bald, middle-aged researcher thought for a moment and said, "Of course, if it involves the modification of the magic shield and it can't vibrate, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"No, I should be able to do it."
Roland quite admired the creativity of these researchers.
To be honest, all he cared about was increasing the total amount of his magic power and the hardness of his Magic Shield.
To put it bluntly, he was just stubbornly resisting.
To put it nicely, he had a strong foundation in internal energy and was strong enough to make bricks fly.
This could be considered a very good way to go about it.
However … skills and foundations could coexist.
They weren't two irreconcilable things.
The basics would determine your starting limit and ceiling, while techniques would allow your ceiling to be much higher.
In the following time, Roland focused on optimizing the Magic Shield.
After all, safety was very important, especially in reality.
In the following time, Roland focused on optimizing the Magic Shield and did a lot of experiments for it.
He did both in reality and in the game.
After about fourteen days, he finally made two new versions of the Magic Shield model.
One was used in reality, and the other was used in the game.
Although the functions were similar, the efficiency was different.
It was like an internal combustion engine. The two-cylinder engine and the twelve-cylinder engine were essentially the same, but the internal layout and materials were, of course, different.
After completing the new spell model, Roland went straight to Andonara and asked her to cut him.
She wanted to test the ability of the new shield.
Andonara shook her head. She didn't want to attack her man at all.
In the end, her uncle Cage, who came as a guest, took the task. He stood fifty meters away and shot an arrow at Roland with his bow.
Cage was a Warrior, but he was quite good at archery.
When the arrow came over, Roland's blue Magic Shield was immediately activated and blocked the arrow. At the same time, a circle of dust suddenly rose from the ground under his feet.
Andonara's eyes glittered.
Of course, she could tell that Roland's Magic Shield could guide the attack to the ground.
Cage put away his bow and drew his longsword. He asked with a smile, "You don't mind if I cut you a few times, do you?"
"That's exactly why I'm here." Roland shrugged.
Andonara stood aside and smiled.
She didn't want to attack her man, not even for experiments.
But she knew that Roland was very strong. Her uncle was no match for Roland. He couldn't break Roland's Magic Shield no matter how hard he slashed for ten minutes.
So, she was quite reassured.
Receiving Roland's permission, Cage heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, his sword flashed, and Roland's Magic Shield trembled slightly after Cage's random slashes.
Furthermore, there were small cracks on the stone floor beneath his feet.
Most of the blast was directed to his feet.
"It worked."
Roland looked at the magic power in his system … Not even two percent had been consumed. Under normal circumstances, at least fifteen percent of his magic power would've been gone after Cage's slashes for three minutes.
It was obvious from the comparison that the new Magic Shield's defensive effect was rather obvious.
While Roland was overjoyed, a Summoner girl on a white horse came to the gate of the manor.
This rather beautiful female player brought Solisa's message.
"We've found a lich's lair. The enemy is hiding very well. You'd better come with me and take a look. "
Finally, there was a lead on the enemy.
Roland had been waiting for that for more than two months.
The enemy was truly good at hiding.
He snapped his fingers and conjured a cloud, before he asked, "Girl, are you riding a horse, or are you coming up to show me the way?"
"I'd love to, but look behind you," the Summoner girl teased.
Roland looked back, only to discover that Andonara was staring at the girl angrily.
"If I get on your cloud, your woman will probably slash me."
Every player knew that Roland's woman was a queen and a Great Swordsman.
She was immeasurably strong.
She was almost invincible.
She was jealous again.
"Then I'll go with you." Roland jumped onto the cloud.
At this moment, Andonara ran to him. "Roland, I'll go with you."
"Help me guard the house," Roland said solemnly. "I'm afraid that the enemy will lure us away. If we both leave, the defense of Delpon will drop by at least two thirds."
"Okay, I got it." Andonara was reluctant to let him go.
She was clinging to Roland more and more.
Especially after the two of them had an actual relationship, as long as they were together, as long as there was no one else, she wanted to cling to him and cling to him.
She was truly a dodder.
Roland flew in the sky and followed the Summoner girl to the west.
He had to admit that the Summoner had a lot of advantages.
On the way, the white horse galloped as fast as it could. When it was tired, the girl summoned a new one.
Repeating this process over and over again … it only took them half a day to cover nearly 700 kilometers of road.
The Summoner girl didn't have to walk on her own. She could also recover her magic power on the horse. She was very happy.
Roland's Cloud Flight, on the other hand, consumed a third of his magic power.
After they reached an uninhabited place, the Summoner girl waved at Roland.
Roland flew down and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We're fifty kilometers away from the enemy's nest." Sitting on the horse, the girl stared into Roland's eyes. "You'll be very obvious when you fly in the sky. You might alarm the enemy."
That was true.
Roland then looked at the green forest up ahead and felt a headache.
"This forest is too dense. I'm not good at moving in the woods. I might not be able to finish the fifty kilometers in a day."
That couldn't be helped. As a Mage, Roland could either fly high or flash here and there.
Walking in the woods?
That was impossible.
The woods that weren't too dense were fine. Roland could walk around.
This kind of forest was obviously full of tall trees, with a lot of vines and wild miscanthus growing on the ground.
Forget it, Roland can't walk.
He couldn't open a path with magic, and he might alarm the enemy.
"Why don't you ride on my horse?" The Summoner girl patted the back of the horse behind her. "Together."
Roland was a little surprised. "You don't mind?"
"What's there to mind?" The Summoner girl smiled. "It's like carrying an extra person on a motorcycle."
Fair enough.
Roland got on the horse.
All the Summoner girls of the Phoenix Guild had exchanged for elven bloodlines. They were all half-elves.
And the elven bloodline had a feature … They could move quickly in the woods.
As long as they walked in the woods, all the plants would magically part a path for them.
Roland also had elven bloodlines, but his branch was different from the girl's.
As an Elven Summoner leveled up, the part of the elven bloodline that was compatible with plants would be strengthened.
Roland's Sword Dancer Mage branch, on the other hand, strengthened the elves' elven affinity with elements and spellcasting efficiency.
Two routes.
If he was a pure-blood elf, no matter which route he took, his two abilities would be strengthened correspondingly, but the focus was a little different.
The white horse moved in the woods. At this moment, the Summoner girl also shouted and summoned a lot of creatures to protect him.
The vines and weeds in front of him parted, forming a path just right for medium-sized creatures to walk on. The white horse walked gracefully in it.
Roland sat in the back, and the woman in front of him gave off a faint fragrance.
It was very pleasant.
But his heart was as calm as still water in a well.
It couldn't be helped. Andonara had already drained him last night.
Then Vivian came to join in the fun, and he had to take a bottle of Dragon Meat Reagent to survive.
The two of them didn't talk on the way.
Roland didn't want to talk, fearing that he would be suspected of flirting.
It took him about two hours to travel fifty kilometers.
Walking to a dark forest, Roland found faint traces of fluorescence in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that there was a unicorn in front of him that was emitting the light of fluorescent fireflies.
Roland walked over and jumped off the horse.
There were four girls chatting here, and when they saw Roland riding with their companion, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The girl on the white horse was slightly shy. "What are you yelling for? Be careful, or I'll bite you."
Three of the girls burst into laughter.
Solisa, on the other hand, walked over and said to Roland, "We've finally found it after more than two months of searching."
"Where are the liches?"
"It's a flat land after this mountain, with a lot of altars," Solisa said. Solisa said, "According to the animals that we controlled, there were at least ten liches, a lot of Warriors, and a lot of corpses. A conservative estimate is twenty to thirty thousand. Also, they seem to be the corpses of our players. It's probably enough to fight a major war. "
Roland thought for a moment and said, "I'm told that many players sell their corpses for money after they die. I guess most of the corpses are here."
Solisa said in disdain, "Aren't they afraid that their corpses will be used for bad things?"
Generally speaking, there were barely any girls among the players who sold corpses.
Because when they thought of their corpses being arranged by the Lich like this and like that, or even doing some disgusting things, like disemboweling, pulling out their hearts and lungs, they gave up on that thought.
Of course, there were a few female players who didn't care and sold their corpses a few times to earn money.
"How many people are willing to stand when they can make money lying down?" Roland didn't think that it was moral for the players to sell their corpses for money. It was just a matter of acceptance at most. "Can you see what those liches look like?"
"I can't. They're all wearing wolf masks." Solisa leaned against a tree and held her hands to her chest, holding two unremarkable breasts. "Also, we found that there are a lot of professionals with unique figures and vibes nearby. Although those people are also wearing wolf masks, I think they're players."
"So it's them." Roland took out five bags of gold coins from his system Backpack and put them on the ground, because they couldn't carry so many at once. Also, they had to count the coins under normal circumstances. "This is the reward that we agreed on."
Solisa squatted and opened a random bag. She was dazzled by the glittering gold inside. "Didn't you say that the five hundred gold coins would be paid over a year?"
"I've changed my mind."
Roland was very rich at this moment.
In the past two months, the Church of Magic had sent him two large sums of gold coins. Together with the money from the previous months, he had more than a thousand gold coins in his treasury even after deducting his expenses.
Taking out five hundred gold coins wasn't a big deal at all.
Putting the five bags of gold coins into her system Backpack, Solisa asked with a charming smile, "Boss, do you need bodyguards or thugs for the battle later?"
