CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: TICKET

Early morning.

Kane woke up in his room at the Honey Badger Hive Inn.

He planned not to go out today and to study the mechanical knowledge instilled in his mind yesterday while staying in the room.

He was about to enter the red-mark dungeon, so no level of preparation would be too much.

As for Kreya and the others, they had already agreed yesterday to each rest well and do whatever they wanted, and discuss the next dungeon in the evening.

Lilulu woke up in the garden room made up of various plant flowers, and Kreya was already waiting for her at the door.

Kreya worried about Lilulu’s relatively innocent and curious nature leading her to get lost or into trouble in the city, so she stayed with her while resting.

And Lilulu was very willing to act with her.

"Do you want to go find Kane together?"

Hearing Lilulu’s question, Kreya nodded with a bit of embarrassment.

Then the two came to Kane’s door and found it wasn’t completely closed.

They gently pushed it open.

Kreya saw Kane sitting at the desk reading a thick book, constantly emitting magic power.

She immediately pulled Lilulu out, then quietly closed the door.

Kreya could tell at a glance that Kane had entered a learning state, and she didn’t want to disturb someone completely immersed in knowledge.

Covering Lilulu’s mouth, she led her away quietly from Kane’s door.

Meanwhile, Kane was using the knowledge from the book to adjust the knowledge in his mind, combining it so he could use it, and performing simple modifications and understanding of the machine blueprints in his brain for better construction and usage.

After all, the knowledge came from a mechanical wisdom race, so not everything was suitable for Kane’s use.

Magic power constantly emanated from one of his hands, transforming into a transparent, amorphous mass that followed Kane’s thoughts as it continually constructed, collapsed, and cycled.

The mechanical wisdom race’s technology included mechanical core technology and magic energy transmission technology.

Of course, it’s not to say they are the same technology, but something akin in sensation and utilization.

What Kane now wants to learn is the magic energy transmission technology, comprehending it and incorporating it into his own designs.

Some technologies, similar to core technology, also provided him with significant inspiration.

There were countless external mechanical structure technologies, considered common knowledge among all things mechanical.

This was the bulk of the knowledge Kane acquired.

Usage of various magic power and construction of mechanical parts; how to use magic power efficiently, how to gather magic energy...

All these advanced knowledge were included.

Relying on the [Fast Reading] skill, Kane gained a rough understanding and did a simple study of these, now picking out a blueprint from those in his mind for design modification, making it his own, and verifying his learning outcomes.

He rummaged for a while, finally settling on a blueprint that wasn’t hard to make, but the core and design were quite practical.

What was depicted was obviously a mechanical power arm, which from the appearance, would completely cover the hand and was equipped with various functions to assist the user.

Crazy torrents of magic power surged from his hand, forming masses of transparent play-doh, which spread from Kane’s palm until his entire arm was covered.

He then began constructing according to the blueprint and his ideas.

Constantly overturning, rebuilding, modifying, and demolishing.

Closer to evening, Kane finally produced a finished product.

In Kane’s eyes, his arm, from the palm to the shoulder, was enveloped in metallic glowing steel armor.

Underneath the shell were various intricate components linked together, providing diverse support for the mechanical arm.

Kane also removed some unnecessary designs and functions during the construction process.

He took out a piece of intact hardwood from his space equipment for simple trial targeting.

Raising his arm, aiming at the timber opposite.

Instantly, several sharp round blades shot out, slicing into the wood, burying themselves halfway in.

The mechanical arm also served to enhance power and grip, with two boosters at the elbow for more punch force while also serving a defensive role.

Grabbing the timber in his hand, the mechanical arm’s fingers started to apply force gradually. The steel fingers immediately sank into the wood.

With increased strength, the wood was crushed into shards on the ground.

Looking at his steel arm, Kane was very satisfied; after all, this was merely an experimental creation, not intended for actual combat.

Just a means to check whether his knowledge was indeed absorbed.

He got up and stretched, noticing the twilight outside the window.

It was time to find Kreya and the others.

Gathering the team, they searched for a decent restaurant in the Imperial Capital.

They eventually sat down in a private room at a certain restaurant.

Eating delicious meals, they began discussing their next destination.

The next destination was the already designated [Wraith Tomb Group], a dungeon located on an island in the Kasso Sea Region.

It’s not owned by any force, directly under the Mist Council’s jurisdiction.

To reach this dungeon, one must find a harbor and then board a ship.

Longbei took on this task, having already bought the group’s tickets and made a complete plan.

"These are tickets for the ’Solopeng’ cruise; tomorrow, we will teleport from the Imperial Capital’s teleportation station directly to Long Snake Harbor and take the afternoon cruise."

"From what I understand, the cruise is mostly composed of explorers preparing to conquer the Wraith Tomb Group, the journey lasting 8 days, leading to the destination."

Longbei distributed the tickets to everyone after his explanation.

Looking at the ticket in hand, Kane felt somewhat confused.

"Why doesn’t the Mist Council just build a teleportation station there?"

"It seems the magic wavelengths around the islands are unstable; building a teleportation station might lead to incidents, thus resorting to traditional transport methods."

Today, while shopping, Kreya also prepared the logistical resources the team needs.

At this time, Meizike suddenly placed a newspaper in front of everyone.

Kane immediately saw the headline on the cover, which seemed to be this kingdom’s local newspaper.

The cover boldly stated.

"[Gobi Ruins] This garbage dungeon disappeared after being cleared by a mysterious team nearly a month after its creation. The dungeon might have hidden secrets."

Looks like they indeed have swift information.

Only a day and they published the news.
