Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 626 - 624 Loot Statistics

"Crash..."

The Resurrection Stone Chamber completely collapsed, dust billowing, stone chips flying haphazardly, mixed with the lingering white vapor, leaving the scene a complete mess. Those who witnessed everything fell into a dead silence. Although it wasn’t quite the same as what Franklin experienced, they were internally astonished to the point of speechlessness.

Previously, the failure of resurrection had been strange, but still marginally acceptable. Now, with the entire Resurrection Stone Chamber destroyed, it was something unheard of.

Before witnessing it with their own eyes, it was impossible to imagine, truly unimaginable!

The entire place was enveloped in an atmosphere of shock.

The only person not so shocked was Muse.

Muse looked coldly at the collapsed ruins, not lashing out in anger, his eyes flickering, obviously deep in thought.

Franklin, his face as pale as death, turned to Muse, his lips parting several times before finally managing to speak, his voice filled with a strong will to survive, "Muse, the housekeeper, this matter... it really wasn’t me."

"Hmph, I know," Muse glanced at Franklin as he spoke, with a hint of disdain in his voice. "You don’t have the guts, nor the ability. The destruction of the Resurrection Stone Chamber has another cause."

"Then it is..." A glimmer of hope sparked in Franklin’s eyes, and he seemed to suddenly come back to life.

"I’m not sure either." Muse listened to Franklin’s words, shook his head, and frowned, saying, "Right now, it is only conjecture. Earlier, I had you attempt to resurrect Tu Ke in order to use his body to cast Prediction Magic and see if we could clarify what had happened by the lake before. Now that the Resurrection Stone Chamber is destroyed and Tu Ke’s resurrection has failed, I suspect that it’s likely due to some kind of Prediction Magic as well. Hmm, a very powerful Prediction Magic."

"This!" Franklin was slightly stunned but then fell into deep thought. The destruction of the Resurrection Stone Chamber was no small matter; it wouldn’t be repaired anytime soon. It wasn’t even possible to think about resurrecting Tu Ke now, let alone anyone else. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Then, what shall we do next, Muse the housekeeper?"

Muse pondered for a moment, then decided, "Since that’s the case, we’ll have to seek help from headquarters. Send a message to the higher-ups detailing the situation here, ask for reinforcement, the faster the better! Before the reinforcements arrive, we’ll need to adjust our plans and let the ants here live a little longer."

"Yes."

...

The destruction of the Resurrection Stone Chamber forced the Mysterious Organization to adjust its plans, thereby granting the wizards of the East Coast more time. However, many of the East Coast wizards remained oblivious, a portion of them entirely indifferent, such as... Richard.

Several days later.

After the battle at Taklamakan Lake, considering that the enemy might have reinforcements, Richard didn’t dare stay too long. He quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then returned to the Jungle Hut.

Back at the Jungle Hut, he learned about the aftermath of the exchange meeting.

This exchange meeting was a severe blow to all the participating Wizard Organizations. Due to Deep Blue Castle’s conspiracy, when the Demons Breaking Pearl exploded, countless were injured in an instant. Then they were caught up in the Black Robed Men’s attack, and if everything had gone according to Deep Blue Castle’s plan, everyone would likely have died.

Fortunately, he had managed to distract many of the enemy combatants on the battlefield to cover for Gro and the others’ escape, causing a chain reaction that allowed nearly half of the people to successfully break out.

But no matter how you looked at it, each Wizard Organization suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, the wizards who had broken out returned to their respective bases, not just thinking about letting the matter rest. They were all preparing for revenge, although no substantial action had been taken yet.

As for Richard, he didn’t pay much attention to it, knowing only that Gro and his group had indeed broken through successfully was enough for him since the few people he knew had not died.

Compared to revenge, Richard was more concerned with how he could return to the vicinity of his base at Deep Blue Castle and safely explore the ruins of Yatis.

Even if there were no good methods in the short term, he still had other matters to attend to. For instance, he needed to heal the injuries sustained in the battle, remake his Magic Gun, try to continue his research on the "Destructive Gloves," and... sort out the spoils of battle.

...

Inside Eden.

In the main laboratory, Richard was sorting through the spoils of this battle.

He hadn’t really wanted to attend this exchange meeting. It was merely a front to conceal his exploration of the Yatis ruins. If it were possible, he would not have wanted to fight, not wanted any conspiracies—smooth sailing would have been best.

But things were beyond his control. Out of necessity, he engaged in battle, and the process was exceptionally grueling. Fortunately, after killing dozens of Black Robed Wizards, he obtained dozens of Space Iron Rings, which made it not such a loss.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of Space Iron Rings alone brought his reserves to an astonishing level, more than he could ever use. Considering that if these items were circulated, they could cause many unnecessary troubles, he could only temporarily set them aside as a painful bother.

Beyond the Space Iron Rings, there was an abundance of riches, including various gold and silver coins, as well as an assortment of Crystal Coins.

Honestly, after exploring the Black Spirit King’s Treasure a few times, he had already acquired wealth that completely satisfied his needs. It wasn’t enough to rival a nation, like the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, but it was close. Now that he had obtained another large amount of riches, he really felt numb and didn’t even experience any emotional fluctuation.

On one hand, once wealth reaches a certain amount, especially after satisfying needs, it really is just a number. On the other hand, when it came to riches, he wasn’t all that interested. After all, he had plenty of means to accumulate wealth. Having money at hand mostly saved him from wasting time on income-generating tasks and allowed him to invest money to save time. From this perspective, wealth is just a handy tool.

Beyond wealth, there were various kinds of miscellaneous items.

Such as various potions, Medicine Powders, ointments of unknown use, unidentified trinkets, minerals, a large number of scrolls and blueprints covered with scrawled handwriting, clothes, clean water, food, decorations, personal belongings, and so on.

These items could not be said to be useless, but they required a significant investment of time to excavate their true value. For example, potions, Medicine Powders, ointments, and the like needed experiments to confirm their effects. The composition and content of the minerals needed to be clarified before they could be applied effectively. Scrolls and blueprints with writing needed careful analysis to extract useful information.

Among the miscellaneous items were also some bizarre, speech-inducing things: such as a deck of cards with a total of seventy-two cards, each with different patterns and numbers, which reminded Richard of the Tarot Cards a woman at Hai Ya Port had used for Divination. A set of chess pieces carved with various characters and beasts, as well as a complicated chessboard, brought to mind the mysterious Clown and the Clown Chess he had played. A few six-sided dice, two twelve-sided dice, and one twenty-four-sided die...

After studying for a while, Richard confirmed that these kinds of items probably didn’t have any special uses, the only purpose they might serve was for entertainment.

Ah, entertainment.

Did Wizards from Mysterious Organizations use playing cards, chess, and dice for entertainment, to pass the time?

It seemed there was nothing wrong with that, but it still felt odd.

Fortunately, aside from the miscellaneous items, there were more valuable things—namely, a considerable number of Magic Tools.

Magic Tools were partly collected from the bodies of the Black Robed Wizards, and others were retrieved after unlocking the Space Iron Rings.

Richard tallied them up and found no less than a hundred, an astonishing number. And they were all beneficial to various aspects of battle, such as enhancing the power of certain types of spells, increasing casting range, improving casting precision, etc. If averaged out, they could equip a whole Wizard Team to the teeth.

However, for him, most of the Magic Tools seemed somewhat superfluous, as their effects could not compare to his current Magic Gun, One-Hit Kill Staff, and Death Finger. Rather than using these Magic Tools in battle, it would be simpler to just hold a Magic Gun and fire a drum full of Shellless Magic Bullets.

Of course, that was not to say the Magic Tools were junk—even if they were, among the hundreds of Magic Tools, there were still one or two exceptional pieces that should not be underestimated. Such as...
