MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Cannon Blueprint

Mimira seemed like a waste to Li Yao, but her escape ability was infuriating, and the sudden burst of speed was just too fast.

Even if he temporarily controlled her, once the control ended, she’d still run off. If he didn’t have his flaming hawk, he could never kill this boss.

Finding her and killing her took an enormous amount of effort and a lot of time. By now, it’s already dark.

System: You killed Mimira. For plot reasons, you can choose to delay the announcement. Please select whether to delay.”

“Yes.”

System: Please select the delay time.”

“Two days.”

Li Yao chose to delay for two days this time. His plan is a bit tricky, and it will take some effort. He’s about to venture deep into the tiger’s den again. If Mimira’s death were known, who knows what would be impacted.

Of course, these are just Li Yao’s concerns. In reality, Mimira had been very discreet, changing races, and trading for a long period without being discovered indicates that the people of both races are very careful and reliable. Even if something happened to Mimira, the person in charge of contact wouldn’t likely make it public.

Li Yao simply didn’t want to take any chances, so he chose to delay the announcement. It’s a safe way to handle it.

Li Yao started to loot the corpse. Upon seeing the items in his hand, a smile crept onto Li Yao’s face. He had spent two days hunting down and killing Mimira for these items.

Gnome Transformer

Quality: Purple Epic

After use, can transform into a gnome, obtain the racial talent of a gnome, and learn the language of the gnomes. Cooldown time: one month.

Requirement: Bound upon pick-up

Note: Cannot be traded after binding

This is an extraordinarily powerful transformation tool—it constantly surprises Li Yao.

This is much more potent than that troll transformer since this can also learn the gnome’s talents and language—it’s mighty indeed.

Though it’s classified as a transformation tool, it’s essentially a gnome language book, one that lets you permanently acquire the gnome language.

The fact that it’s bound upon picking up is a limitation. Otherwise, if Li Yao could circulate this item, countless people would learn to speak gnome.

This is his key to infiltrating the gnomes again. But this time, he’s entering as an NPC, not a new adventurer.

Remember, in the eyes of the NPCs, players are still green and inexperienced; their roles are essentially gofers. However, if he were to assume a different role, the dynamics could change significantly. Of course, no role is perfect.

Li Yao carefully stored this item, then looked at the next one – a firearm.

Extended Firearm

Quality: Purple Epic

Attack: 36-45

Strength: 38

Agility: 36

Stamina: 35

The extended firearm has a scope, which doubles the range.

The firearm has been specially modified to load two bullets at a time.

Equipment Level: 15

Recommended for: Hunter

This weapon was the one Mimira used. Li Yao hadn’t expected this gun to have such unique effects.

A doubled range was even more critical to him than increased attack power. Loading two bullets at once implies that Li Yao’s attack speed has almost doubled.

With a longer range and almost doubled attack speed, although it doesn’t have as much attack and attribute boosts as the full moon gold weapon, it doesn’t have any side effects.

Using the gold weapon did significantly augment his combat power, but it mentally drained him too much. However, this firearm was different—it’s perfect for fast-paced battles.

Li Yao put away the gold weapon; it was too conspicuous, and many people could identify him at a glance.

Li Yao nodded his head in satisfaction. This weapon was an unexpected joy. What he truly needed, however, was a mechanical blueprint.

Turret blueprint

Engineering blueprint

After learning, you can make a small turret.

Turret

Quality: Purple Epic

Attack: 85-120

Health: 3000

Armor: 600

Range: 25-185 yards

Explosion range: 5*5 yards

Attack speed: 2 seconds/shot

Summon quantity: 0/3

The turret’s cooling time is 2 minutes.

Learning Conditions: Intermediate Engineering

Materials: Iron Ingot*35, Fire Element Crystal Core*3, Blue moonstone*10, Copper Ingot*5, Mithril*1…

When Li Yao saw the attributes of the blueprint, his hands trembled.

Although the turret is primitive, it’s an incredibly revolutionary item for Li Yao at present.

Compared to the arrow tower, the turret has life and armor, which means it can’t be destroyed upon impact.

Though it only shoots once every two seconds, both its attack power and attack range exceed the arrow tower by more than twofold.

With these properties and the enhanced attributes from his own race, the turret could exhibit a terrifying fighting power.

While the explosion range is not as wide as the area-of-effect spells, Li Yao is already very satisfied. Every shot is an area attack, there’s nothing more Li Yao could ask for.

With this turret, Li Yao’s combat power will once again markedly increase. What’s more important is that the turret and the arrow tower do not conflict each other.

When he arranges the formation during battle, he can place the arrow tower behind the turret. That would mean the arrow tower gains the turret’s life and armor. Although he hasn’t experimented yet, he can imagine the power.

Li Yao took a deep breath and proceeded to loot the corpse once more.

Salt Sifter blueprint

Quality: Blue Excellent

Can make a salt sifter once learned

Salt Sifter

Quality: Blue Excellent

Can purify industrial salt

Learning Conditions: Intermediate Engineering

Materials: Boss-level spider web*3, iron*5

Li Yao also stored this blueprint; a salt sifter is a very rare item. Salt sifters are among the engineering items that can turn an immediate profit after production. It’s valuable, but it’s not the right time for it yet; it needs to sit for some time.

The remaining items were one piece of green gear and a purse with six gold coins. Li Yao packed everything up, immediately activated the Gnome Transformer, and turned into a gnome.

His name also changed to Meka, then he opened the map and headed towards the main city of the Hills area.

The gnomes, intelligent, full of life, and unpredictable, represent a unique paradox among The Ancient God World’s races. This race, known for its impeccable inventors, carries an irrepressible optimism.

However, it has also faced betrayal, migration, and even nearly a racial annihilation. In the face of such disaster, they reveal an extraordinary optimistic spirit, symbolizing the gnome’s truly unshakeable spirit.

Despite being a smaller race, the gnomes stand out on the continent through collective wisdom and unity, overshadowing their bigger counterparts.

The gnomes are renowned mechanical engineers and technicians. They are highly respected for their scientific understanding of the world and their ability to turn these insights into astonishing tools, vehicles, armor, and weapons.

Hence, the gnomes hold a very significant position in the Light Faction. This is also the primary reason the Dark Camp accepted a group of goblins into their ranks.

Their war engineering gave the Dark Camp a hard time, which is why the leaders of the Dark Camp grudgingly accepted a group of goblins…

ps: I woke up at noon again, setting an alarm didn’t help. The past few days have been really exhausting. I started writing as soon as I woke up; I still haven’t eaten lunch…
