Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 179: You Think Too Highly of Yourself
Chapter 179: You Think Too Highly of Yourself
**[External attack detected, emergency defense array strength boost! ]**
**[50% 60% 80% ]**
**[Initiating inscription turrets. Initiation failed, all inscription turrets destroyed!]**
**[Defense array maximum energy activated!]**
Su Nan, in the midst of battle, suddenly heard the mechanical voice of the meatball, and couldn’t help but frown in confusion.
External attack?
Who did it?
Those onlookers without keys?
But judging from the words of the auxiliary AI, the intensity of the attack seemed quite high. Those Second-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices and legendary knights shouldn’t be able to do that, right?
“Forget it, it’s all good for me anyway. It’s a good chance to drain the energy of the Starlight Tower.”
Su Nan muttered, putting his mind back on the battle in front of him.
In the hall, two secret puppet girls were locked in a fierce battle with two Deep Dark Golems, one on one.
Both sides exchanged blows, evenly matched.
On the other side, five Gold Golems led dozens of elite Steel Golems, besieging a Deep Dark Golem.
Although they were slightly on the defensive, they wouldn’t lose for a while.
Su Nan himself was facing off against a Deep Dark Golem.
To save spiritual power, he only used magical items and bloodline imprints.
After twenty-plus Calamity Claws struck in rapid succession, the Deep Dark Golem was riddled with holes, covered in wounds.
Su Nan then activated the Air Blade Imprint on his hand, countless sharp air blades whizzed out, instantly tearing the Deep Dark Golem into pieces!
Compared to the resourceful Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice, the Deep Dark Golem was relatively easy to deal with.
After taking care of his opponent, Su Nan moved on to the second Deep Dark Golem without stopping.
He systematically destroyed them one by one, and in less than twenty minutes, all four Deep Dark Golems were wiped out.
After dealing with the Deep Dark Golems, the meatball illusion in the distance fell silent, saying nothing.
Su Nan smiled wryly, knowing that the auxiliary AI was out of tricks.
Strictly speaking, the Starlight Tower’s defense force wasn’t weak.
Both the eighteen inscription turrets and the numerous golems were enough to easily crush any Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice.
But it happened to meet him, who had been given a cheat code.
The [Dark Throne] who built the Starlight Tower probably never imagined that this kind of situation would happen today.
Another thing to be thankful for was that the battle took place inside the tower.
If it had happened outside the tower, with the defense array protecting it, destroying the inscription turrets wouldn’t have been so easy. It would have taken several times, or even dozens of times, the cost to break through the Starlight Tower’s defenses!
Just as he was pondering this, Su Nan suddenly felt the talisman stone inside his robe lining getting slightly warm.
He immediately realized something and threw the talisman stone out without hesitation.
As expected, the talisman stone instantly disappeared from where it was.
“You want to drive me out because you can’t win?”
Su Nan sneered.
“You think too highly of yourself!”
**[Sorcerer Apprentice, we will waive your trial fee, please leave the Starlight Tower immediately!]**
The meatball opened its mouth and spoke.
Su Nan ignored the low-level AI that couldn’t think for itself and looked around.
Now that the Starlight Tower clearly had no way to deal with him, it was time to figure out how to get the resources inside the tower.
He had paid such a high price to break through the Starlight Tower’s defenses, and if he didn’t find a way to make up for it, he would be at a huge loss.

Activating the levitation spell on his robe, Su Nan rose into the air and flew towards the nearest metal door. With a wave of his hand, a dozen magic projectiles smashed through the door.
However, behind the door was a small puppet factory, probably for golem maintenance and charging.
Su Nan wasn’t disappointed and continued exploring other metal doors.
As expected, most of the metal doors led to small puppet factories, except for the largest one, which led to a smaller hall.
The floor was paved with white jade and a mysterious array was drawn on it.
Su Nan took a few glances and quickly determined that this was an otherworldly creature summoning array.
The Goliath from before must have been summoned using this array.
Seeing that there was no gain on this level, Su Nan shifted his gaze to the ground. With a slight movement of his mind, the Metal Storm swept out and crashed into the floor!
Boom!
Even with the protective array, the floor was harder than magic Mithril, but under the full force of the Magic Emblem Core, it only held for ten seconds before it shattered and split open a huge gap.
Su Nan jumped into the gap and went down to the next level.
As far as the eye could see, it was the same hall as the previous level, but it was empty.
“Is this another trial area?”
Su Nan searched around, found nothing, and continued digging down.
But he kept exploring for twelve levels, and they were all the same hall, all empty.
Su Nan wanted to continue down, but this time he encountered extremely strong resistance.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the surface of the white jade floor was shimmering with a faint light.
“Defense array… So this is the bottom level?”
Su Nan was slightly disappointed and had to turn his attention to the top, back to the original hall, and controlled the Metal Storm to blast through the ceiling.
It was still the trial hall.
This time, he went through seven levels all the way, and when he reached the eighth level, he finally reached a level that seemed to be a residential area.
Su Nan paused, staring at the gap below, lost in thought.
“According to this, there should be only twenty levels of trial halls, which is roughly the same number of people who entered the Starlight Tower.”
“But why aren’t there anyone in these halls?”
Su Nan thought that his speed in passing the assessment far exceeded others, so logically, others should still be in the middle of the trial.
Thinking back to the words of the auxiliary AI, Su Nan had a faint guess.
Perhaps the auxiliary AI had expelled everyone else from the Starlight Tower, just to mobilize all the available energy to deal with him.
“No wonder the Starlight Tower suddenly suffered a strong external attack, it must be the Truth Council and the Scepter attacking the defense array.”
Once he realized this, a smile spread across Su Nan’s face.
That’s good, the auxiliary AI must be using most of its energy to maintain the defense array, so it won’t have much energy left to deal with him in the short term.
Recovering from his joy, Su Nan continued to explore upwards.
Although the Starlight Tower was mainly for inheritance, it still had basic facilities.
In addition to the trial hall, there were also residential areas, cultivation areas, experimental areas, and planting areas.
However, the planting area probably lacked maintenance personnel and no magical plants were planted.
Su Nan searched around and only found a batch of well-preserved magical plant seeds.
The types were quite rich, about two to three hundred different types, and the quantity was also very considerable.
It was probably prepared for the ‘slaves’ who signed the oath contract, so they could easily plant magical plants.
Su Nan collected them all without hesitation.
Then he continued to explore. To his surprise, the next level up was actually a library.
Row upon row of bookshelves were neatly arranged, each bookshelf was filled with books, dazzling and endless.
Su Nan was overjoyed. Starting from the first bookshelf, he scanned through them one by one, glancing at the names of all the books, and the smile on his face grew deeper as he looked.
These books could be said to cover all basic disciplines, from magical philosophy, world principles, and material science to magical plant cultivation, scroll copying, and basic potion making.
It could be said to cover almost all the necessary knowledge for a First-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice to a Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentice.
Including more than thirty types of talent crystal models.
However, most of them were lower-level talent crystal models, with only three intermediate talent crystal models.
One of them was the ‘White Bone’ that Su Nan had seen before.
Although there were only three intermediate talent crystal models, it was already quite a lot.
Many sorcerer forces’ Third-Rank Sorcerer Apprentices could only access intermediate talent crystal models at most.
Upper-level talent crystal models are usually only accessible to core members, so they naturally wouldn’t appear in this kind of place.
In addition, there were some books that could only be accessed after advancing to a Wizard, including potions, spells, magical artifacts, and high-level puppets.
“The Dark Throne, while their intentions are not pure, is still willing to invest in the cultivation of ‘slaves’.”
“That’s right, slaves also need enough power to create more benefits for them.”
Su Nan smiled slightly and put all the books into his spatial ring.
He was still worried about how to get his hands on Wizard-level knowledge after he advanced, and these books prepared by the Starlight Tower solved most of his worries.
Making sure he didn’t miss anything, Su Nan smashed through the ceiling and went up to the next level.
This level was a spacious and bright hall, with metal doors embedded in the walls around it.
Different metal doors had nameplates embedded above them, respectively ‘Metal’, ‘Magical Plant’, ‘Potion’, ‘Gem’, and so on.
Su Nan’s heart leaped with joy, he knew he had finally found his true target.
This level was the warehouse area he was looking for!
Su Nan immediately rushed to the metal door with the word ‘Potion’ on it, controlled the Magic Emblem Core to cut the metal door into pieces, and strode into the room.
What greeted his eyes was a dense array of metal shelves, separated by sealed transparent glass, with bottles of potions of different colors on them, estimated to be no less than six hundred bottles.
Revitalization Potion, Dragon Blood Potion, Endurance Potion, Clarity Potion, Nightmare Potion…
Su Nan looked at them one by one and found that the lowest level ones were all First-Rank potions, and all were the more valuable ones among First-Rank potions.
Among the Second-Rank potions, there was also the Nightmare Potion, a precious potion that could increase spiritual power.
He walked all the way to the innermost metal shelf and finally saw the Construction Potion.
With his powerful spiritual power, he counted the number of potions in an instant, and a smile couldn’t help but curl up on his lips.
Eighty-six bottles!
He had hit the jackpot!
“So many Construction Potions, it should be enough for me to synthesize a Super Talent Crystal Model!”
Su Nan was overjoyed.
Just the Construction Potions alone made up for all his investment this time.
Coming back to his senses, Su Nan immediately collected all the potions, then explored other warehouse rooms one by one.
‘Metal’, ‘Magical Plant’ and ‘Gem’ warehouses, as expected, were filled with materials corresponding to their names.
In the warehouse marked ‘Other’, Su Nan found more than ten Spirit Pearls.
After a round of plunder, Su Nan’s spatial ring was almost full.
Looking at the countless treasures inside, Su Nan felt satisfied.
The total value of these things was immeasurable, many of them were priceless.
For example, the Construction Potion, even describing it as priceless wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
This time, he had undoubtedly struck gold!
Back in the central hall, Su Nan flew upwards, broke through the ceiling and reached the level above.
He was greeted by the same endless starry Milky Way, white jade floor beneath his feet, and a familiar meatball suspended in the air not far away.
Seeing this familiar scene, Su Nan immediately understood.
This level was obviously the control center of the Starlight Tower.
**[Sorcerer Apprentice, you have caused significant damage to the Starlight Tower, according to the regulations, you will be added to our organization’s wanted list!]**
**[Please leave the Starlight Tower immediately and hand over all the plundered goods, willingly enter the detention area, and await trial by our organization personnel!]**
“Oh?” Su Nan sneered and asked casually, “When will they be here?”
**[The specific time is unknown, depending on the recovery status of the plane barrier!]**
Plane barrier recovery status?
Su Nan raised his eyebrows in confusion.
What’s going on?
“What’s the deal with the plane barrier recovery?”
However, the auxiliary AI didn’t answer his question and repeated its previous words.
“Since you can’t provide any valuable information, there’s no point in keeping you around.”
Su Nan raised his hand, a beam of lightning struck the meatball, instantly turning it into charcoal.
Unlike the tower spirit that can exist in a non-physical form, this kind of auxiliary AI usually has a physical body.
For example, the crystal ball on the top of the Dragon Bone Tower was the physical body of Butler No. 1.
And the meatball was the physical body of the Starlight Tower’s auxiliary AI.
Its death meant the death of the Starlight Tower’s auxiliary AI.
However, even without the auxiliary AI, the Starlight Tower could continue to operate at its most basic level according to pre-programmed procedures.
The advantage was that Su Nan no longer had to worry about being harassed by the auxiliary AI.
“The elemental pool here is bigger than the one in Dragon Ridge, unfortunately I can’t take it with me.”
Su Nan was a bit envious of the Starlight Tower, but this tower was destined not to be under his control.
After all, he didn’t have the secret core of the tower, and he didn’t know if the [Dark Throne] had left any backdoors.
But the tower itself was a good material.
If he wanted to build his own wizard tower in the future, he could take the Starlight Tower apart and use it as material.
“Constructing a talent crystal model here is faster than in Dragon Bone Tower.”
Su Nan thought about it and decided to just construct the talent crystal model here.
After all, the Starlight Tower was no longer a threat to him, all the combat forces were destroyed by him, only the otherworldly creature summoning array and the defense array remained.
The former could be dealt with by sending secret puppets to block the summoning array, kill one when it came.
The latter, on the other hand, has become his protection.
The Starlight Tower would autonomously block any intruders.
Unless someone could drain the Starlight Tower’s energy and break through the defense array, as long as he stayed here, he wouldn’t have to worry about being disturbed.
