On the forums, the Spanish people were rent completely mute.
Juan, who was greedy for fame and fortune, had become a total joke.
What a disappointment! the Spanish players all had this same thought.
Who knows how this random country war would end.
Atlantis Island, inner circle, imperial palace.
Ouyang Shuo had already left the cave and returned with Kalia to the surface of the palace.
As for the Divine Martial Guards, they were still at the middle circle island.
Shortly after the regional notification ended, a system notification sounded out by Ouyang Shuo's ear.
"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for completing S-rank large-scale storyline quest, Lost City of Atlantis. Player rewarded 1 piece of top grade Atlantis technology, 1 purple crystal, 50 thousand merit points, and 150 thousand reputation points."
Merit points and reputation points were given directly, with these points, his two stats had reached the brink of upgrading.
Considering the merit points that he had obtained from fighting the Spanish Squadron, he now had 945,000 merit points, just 55,000 away from reaching the duke rank.
Even his reputation had reached 820 thousand, lacking only180 thousand from the highest level of Well Known in the World.
After the system notification ended, Kalia started to speak, "Qiyue Wuyi, you are the savior of the Atlantis people." As she spoke, she took off the purple crystal that hung around her neck and passed it to Ouyang Shuo, “This is for you."
"This..."
Ouyang Shuo was a little hesitant. Although the rewards stated that he would receive one purple crystal, he did not expect it to come directly from Kalia's neck
It was obvious that to Kalia or to the Atlantis Race, this purple crystal must have a deep meaning, and it was not something a normal purple crystal could compare to.
"Please accept this; it's our kind intentions." Kalia insisted.
Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart, reaching out and accepting the crystal.
The freedom level of Earth Online was extremely high and even quest rewards could change. Based on the NPC interaction and progression, they would flexibly give out rewards.
Kalia's current actions were exactly that. She had good feelings toward Ouyang Shuo, so she gave her own purple crystal to him as the quest reward.
Although they had not met for long, Ouyang Shuo had left a deep impression on her.
To Ouyang Shuo, Kalia was mysterious. But to her, Ouyang Shuo was even more so. This fated person that suddenly appeared possessed a high status. Moreover, he was exceedingly calm and rich.
All of this was not much to Kalia as a queen. However, the infallible will he displayed under the pressure of the golden magnetic ohlite shocked her.
Kalia knew that Ouyang Shuo was the first person who had not knelt to the golden magnetic ohlite. Just this was enough for him to enter their history books.
His determined eyes and his resilient expression had totally touched her heart. As the 1st queen of Atlantis, what she worshipped and admired was such a spirit.
Kalia hoped that by obtaining his personal friendship, the two of them could have some other types of interactions.
Ouyang Shuo took over the purple crystal and looked at its stats.
Name: Magnetic Ohlite (Imperial Family Special)
Rank: Purple
Production Place: Atlantis Civilization
Basic Function: Energy Stone (provides energy for special items, can be recharged)
High Grade Function: Birth (purple magnetic ohlite can give birth to a blue magnetic ohlite every month, 2 green and 4 white) (Note: only purple and golden magnetic ohlite have this skill.)
High Grade Function: Aid in Cultivation (purple magnetic ohlite possesses a mysterious power that helps the wearer to focus, raising their cultivation speed and increasing the formation speed of primordial energy.)
Unique Function: Luck (Imperial family special purple magnetic ohlite, increases basic luck by 4. At the same time, it increases the chance of having fortuitous encounters.)
Evaluation: the golden magnetic ohlite arrived from the heavens, giving birth to the glorious Atlantis Civilization. If used logically, it has many functions, a rare treasure.
Just looking at the stats, Ouyang Shuo could not help but feel shocked.
The strength of the purple magnetic ohlite left him utterly dumbfounded. Without mentioning the basic function, it seemed unassuming, but it could power things like the puppets and the flying devices.
The high-grade function was overpowered.
"Don't tell me this is the legendary stone giving birth to stone?"
Calculating everything, in a year, a purple magnetic ohlite could give birth to 12 blue, 24 green and 48 white crystals.
Based on Kalia's introduction, although the white magnetic ohlite was not that useful, it was basically a single use item for cultivation, like the spirit stones in Chinese cultivation.
Of course, they were not as strong as spirit stones. A white magnetic ohlite would probably be equivalent to one hour of cultivation.
The green magnetic ohlite were the mainstream, and they were used on the high-end technology products. Apart from the combat puppet, the green magnetic ohlite could power everything else.
The blue crystals were rare items, and only the higher ups would own these. As for purple crystal, apart from the imperial family, only the elders had the qualifications.
The purple magnetic ohlite was born from the golden one and only one formed every 10 years.
"If that's the case, wouldn't you all have amassed countless magnetic ohlite in 10 thousand years?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
When she heard this question, she replied, "The survivor land didn't have light, so our purple magnetic ohlite couldn't be recharged. Even of the various levels of magnetic ohlite we had, more than 99% were destroyed due to long periods of lack of energy. The golden magnetic ohlite had to power the barrier and was unable to give birth to more purple ohlite."
"...."
No wonder Kalia was so despondent. Without the players helping to complete the storyline quest, the base of the Atlantic Civilization would basically collapse.
"Fortunately, we managed to survive, right?" Kalia was rather optimistic, "So Wuyi, you are our great savior, no matter what we repay you with, it'll be not too much."
Ouyang Shuo felt a little ashamed.
Apart from the birth skill, the aid in cultivation skill was also amazing. It helped to raise the cultivation speed and raised the rate of forming primordial energy, a rare cultivation treasure.
It meant an increase in both quantity and quality. Ouyang Shuo had tried to search for this kind of treasure, but he had no luck finding one. Who knew he would find it as a skill of the purple magnetic ohlite?
The last unique function was a massive surprise. Ouyang Shuo felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking away from his unlucky destiny.
Without saying anything more, Ouyang Shuo wore the magnetic ohlite around his neck.
When Kalia saw that, she broke out into a smile, "Come with me!"
"Where to?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"To repay your saving grace, we have decided to pass to you one of our top-grade techniques. Apart from that, there are also some small gifts." Kalia explained.
When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, his heartbeat quickened. When he spent two million gold, wasn't it just for this?
The two walked and finally reached one of the buildings in the research center. The building had a list of the various technological advancements of the Atlantis people.
Apart from the puppets, warships, and flying devices, they had also designed the perfect lighting system, transportation system, and city system.
Everything had to do with the carvings and the magnetic ohlite.
Since there were limited stones, without the golden magnetic ohlite as the energy core, any lighting system was just a dream to Ouyang Shuo.
However, Ouyang Shuo could choose one out of the puppets, flying devices, and warships.
He excluded the mimicry warships first. In his eyes, apart from moving using energy, in terms of structure and design, they were not anything special.
To rule the oceans, the Shanhai City Navy had to rely on iron warships and stronger cannon systems, only then could they be invincible.
Such a small number of mimicry warships was useless.
Between the puppets and flying devices, Ouyang Shuo chose the flying devices in the end.
Naturally, he desired the combat puppets and construction puppets. However, he excluded them because they were not irreplaceable to Shanhai City.
Although they were strong, they could not beat thousands of soldiers and cannons. Although they would be extremely shocking if thrown into battle, they were not enough to change the direction of a war.
Their cumbersome bodies and weak cabins were easy targets for enemies.
Although the construction puppets were strong, manpower could be used to counter that. Shanhai City was huge, so a small number of them would not change much.
What was truly irreplaceable were the flying devices.
In ancient times, having an air force, even just for scouting, was a dream.
In his last life, some Lords tried to train large flying beasts to form scouting forces and succeeded.
However, such beasts were hard to find, and they were not in large quantities. Whether or not one would succeed was based on luck.
The mimicry flying devices of Atlantis were different. As long as one had magnetic ohlites, they could form a small scouting force without any technological barrier.
The purple magnetic ohlite could make all this possible.
