Chapter 1921 Super Machine
Reality is not a game. Basically, equipment will not drop when you kill monsters, but you can get a full set of equipment when you PK and kill people.
A large number of Outland Stone Men became the main spoils of this battle, but how to digest them specifically requires the work of professionals.
The extraordinary races have more or less some "treasures", but the intelligent creatures are relatively weak in this aspect. The powerful creatures like monsters that rely on their talents for survival can really "drop materials".
In fact, many auxiliary materials needed for the advancement of extraordinary professions are materials from designated extraordinary magic plants and monsters, and even require professional alchemists to mix and blend them.
The materials in each world are different and require repeated testing by professionals.
For this reason, potion masters are better at analyzing the properties and uses of extraordinary materials than people who study materials.
"These stone men are high-quality building materials and weapon materials."
This kind of life seems to have no records before, but there is a god above it, who should be their source.
And until now in the battle, these things have not demonstrated their language ability and are completely unable to communicate. The middle and high-level ones among them should be intelligent, and their intelligence is not low, but there is no record of communication at all.
Someone suggested that these stone men might be the cells of the god above. But this has been denied. Those creatures do not have the "commonalities" they should have, and high-level stone men and metal creatures have clear selves. They should be special individuals and groups.
In fact, Lu Ping'an himself has come into contact with many similar metal life forms. There are even two groups of people inside the courtyard: metal humanoids and living armors.
But what impressed him most were two examples.
One is the powerful cosmic race, the Luka people, also known as the Hammer People due to their metal shells. They gild their tribe by saying they are descendants of the "Lord of Myriad Changes (Twelve Pillars)", but considering that that person is actually the source of countless energy creatures, this statement is a bit exaggerated.
The other one is Old Liu, who I still feel sad when I think of him sometimes. He merged the entire island and turned into a giant beast, becoming the outpost in that plane war. He was undoubtedly the first hero in the defense war.
"This kind of life is completely different from what we have recorded before"
After looking through the information briefly, Lu Ping'an understood the difference between such existences.
Old Liu is a top-level gardener. Ultimately, his "spirit" can merge with external objects. Its essence is still his soul, and it doesn't matter if the external objects are replaced. The metal shell of Luca's hammer man is just a shell. The true essence of his existence is still "energy existence."
The living armor and metal humanoids on Lu Ping'an's side are the same. In fact, they are all some "invisible objects" floating above metal and rock, and their essence is still "spirits".
This is the structural pattern of normal organisms. The body is the foundation, and the soul is born on it, and the latter is the basis.
"This is just a big piece of stone, without any spiritual fluctuations."
According to past ideas, the absence of spiritual power meant dead objects, but those stones were clearly moving.
Many research departments are very interested in this thing and try to find the secrets in it. Although everything can be explained by the power of "God above Gods", if they can really find out something, they can come up with quite interesting results.
"Has there been any record of extraordinary life without soul fluctuations and spiritual power?"
"No, even elemental creatures have mental fluctuations. In fact, even dead people still have subtle mental fluctuations, and their bodies also have soul fragments."
Chris's judgment is authoritative, and she is also very interested in this life form. But the craziest one is Fang Wen, who is very interested in expanding her "metal life family".
The level of the researchers on Lu Ping'an's side is very good, and as long as there are more people, they can think of anything.
Soon, an "answer" came out.
“Maybe they are not life”
Although it sounds far-fetched, if we regard it as a hypothetical premise, it seems to be completely feasible.
"AI? Or a logical judgment machine?"
Although the answer is a bit subtle, it is very simple if you actually verify it.
And since the report has been sent to Lu Ping'an's level, it means that this possibility has been confirmed.
"Sure enough, they are all 'fake people'."
These metal life forms are truly logical creatures, and their basic logical judgment is the simple cycle of "killing - nest building - reproduction".
What is puzzling to Lu Ping'an is that local "pollution sources" can also mass-produce these stone creatures.
"They can convert souls into physical objects, or energy. This is bad."
The answer is worse than expected.
A long sword was made, and after testing, it was found to have quite bad properties.
[Soul-devouring Stone Sword (Black Iron Lower): A magic sword that absorbs souls and can strengthen itself by hunting lives]
After actual testing, it was found that not only the volume increased, but also the hardness and toughness.
This is a "stone virus" that continuously grows in size, turning life into building materials for the expansion of its own population.
"A self-propelled biological extinction device? Hmm, why does it feel a bit familiar? Could it be that another civilization has gone too far and made its biological weapons become spirits?"
Although it was just a guess, Dang Lu Ping An felt that the possibility was quite high.
The entire race is made up of biological weapons. They have no life to begin with, but they can turn the "soul" into their own material.
"Those extraordinary powers are probably created by external soul materials. It's very subtle. We use metal to make armor and shape weapons, and they use souls to strengthen their bodies and shape offensive weapons."
According to the information, these monsters are merciless predators. It seems that they are true "soul hunters".
The Soul-Eating Pseudo-Man was a name given by someone. As it was too close to his nature, it was quickly recognized by everyone.
"But they are also very good materials. After removing the logical components, they are very high-quality building materials."
Most of the materials were used to strengthen the walls of the City of Silver. After it was determined that it was a self-repairing building material, it was used naturally.
The other part is used as weapon material for the "Soul-devouring Demon Sword" and the like. The arms business is always highly profitable. Although this kind of weapon material that can be mass-produced is generally too heavy and does not have extraordinary properties to enhance its power, it has a very high cost-effectiveness.
"Uh, it seems to be our natural enemy."
Having just acquired the characteristic of "immortality", it seems that it has encountered its natural enemy here.
Even if there is "life insurance" after death, a large number of spiritual bodies will be lost. If the soul is damaged by a soul-devouring weapon, it may be a remnant soul when revived. To use the term of some metaphysics, if the three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, the person will appear stupid.
"The bad news is that high-level soul-devouring weapons, after our processing, should be able to destroy our immortality. The good news is that those rock monsters, on the contrary, cannot do that. They do not have access to soul-devouring abilities and can only destroy and devour the flesh before extracting the soul."
"However, mid- to high-level stone men are another matter. We have to be careful when dealing with them."
