Spellcasting is a Permanent Addition and My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells

Chapter 52 It would be rude to listen any further

 Bypassing a curtain of fire, the field of vision widened.

 In front of him, the ground was completely transformed into metal, and a huge mechanical monster lay across the ground.

This monster has a ferocious shape, like an armored vehicle, loaded with firearms.

But at this time, the body of the car has disappeared, only half of the front of the car has been cut open, and the black iron-grade crystal core is exposed.

 At the wreckage at the front of the car.

Standing there is a figure about one person tall, with the same metal body and a square screen on the head. The color and texture of the shell are exactly the same as those on the ground.

 “This trip...was not in vain!”

 Lu Cheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

 When he saw the BOSS crystal core, he understood.

This scene is not unfamiliar to him.

　　This is what the mechanical explorers did before, killing the original BOSS first and occupying the spot for the monster wave.

 Only this time, he witnessed half of what happened.

It seems that the monster sent by the ruins this time is the one in front of me.

 Using the disguise, Lu Cheng slowly approached.

　　True Sight is activated, and the properties of the block head are revealed.

 …

 【Pioneer of adaptive A-type machinery】

 【Level 18, Black Iron BOSS】

 【HP: 550,000/550,000】

  【Physical Attack: 0, Magic Attack: 0, Physical Defense: 200, Magic Defense: 100】

 【Characteristics: Technological Creation】

  【Skill: None】

  【Status: None】

 …

"Um?"

 Glancing at the detected attributes.

Lu Cheng was a little surprised.

The attributes of this mechanical pioneer are too low, too low!

 Except the blood volume is normal.

 Physical attack, physical attack, physical defense, and magical defense are both ridiculously low.

That's not all, there is only one characteristic and no skills at all!

 Let alone the level 18 Black Iron BOSS.

Even the thirteenth-level Forgotten Armor has far more than these attributes!

Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

 He doesn't care what the monster's attributes are.

 The key thing is that the status column is also empty.

  If you are not in the state of being summoned by the monster tide, you are not considered a BOSS in the monster tide!

At this moment, the mechanical pioneer started to move.

It picked up the BOSS crystal core, and characters jumped on the screen.

The smooth electronic synthesized sound sounded, very weak.

Lu Cheng used his disguise to get closer and could barely hear clearly.

 “￥#%*（@#%…）”

"this…"

Lu Cheng’s eyes twitched.

But soon, he will understand.

“…The translation module has been loaded, the second item, the power of the monster tide is being stolen…”

 The electronic sound that fell on his ears suddenly changed.

"Um?"

Lu Cheng had a thought in his mind.

You can talk to the mechanical explorer directly from the last time.

 It seems that the translation module is also loaded.

 The next moment, the electronic synthesized sound sounded again.

“The third item, the target module is loading...”

“Target locked, settlement No. 1024, confirmed as the target…”

“The fourth item, the task module is loading...”

“The highest priority task is to recover the [Lingtai Relics]…”

“Item 5: Insufficient combat power, level adjustment in progress…”

This electronic sound sounded.

 The panel of the Mechanical Explorer changes again.

 The level has been reduced from level 18 to level 17!

"Um?"

 Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng raised his eyes.

  In the second wave of monsters, there will also be no less than three types of monsters.

 Eighteenth level BOSS is enough to control the monster wave, but seventeenth level BOSS is not enough.

 But this mechanical pioneer took the initiative to lower himself from level 18 to level 17...

 It is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the position of sitting on the monster wave.

Moreover, it means listening to electronic synthesized sounds. The reason is insufficient combat power.

“In other words…the final BOSS in this wave of monsters is stronger than it?”

 Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

“Item 6, the task module is loading...”

 “The highest priority task, recapture the [Lingtai Relics]…”

“Item 7, the combat module is loading...”

 Listen to the electronic beeps one after another.

 Lu Cheng nodded inwardly.

 Then, he stood up and waved the staff in his hand.

 It has been loaded into the combat module, it would be disrespectful to listen to it any more.

 Meteor fire rain started, fire splashed, and thirty flints roared out, blasting towards the mechanical pioneer.

“Bang bang bang bang bang…”

 Thirty rounds of flint hit accurately, and the mechanical pioneer's health bottomed out.

 “Mechanical failure…”

The mechanical pioneer spit out the last electronic synthesized sound and fell to the ground.

 The next moment, the system prompts.

　　【Ding, you killed the black iron level BOSS: Adaptive Type A Mechanical Pioneer, gained +40,000 experience points, and gained +2.7 source energy limit! 】

　　【You alone killed the Black Iron BOSS of the same level or above, and gained +34 free attribute points! 】

　　【In the battle to defend the settlement, you killed the level 17 black iron BOSS: the Adaptive A-shaped Mechanical Pioneer, and gained +1700 combat merit, and the battle settlement reward increased significantly! 】

Withdrawing his staff, Lu Cheng looked at the metal ground in front of him.

 The original asphalt roads have all been converted into alloys.

“In my memory, there are no relics of mechanical technology in Northeast China...”

Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

 There are many types of ruins.

 Surrounding materials are transformed into alloys, which is an iconic relic of mechanical technology.

 However, in his memory, there is no such mechanical technology settlement in the northeastern region of Daxia!

“Did it change its shape after someone explored it?”

Lu Cheng guessed.

 In the previous life, the northeastern region of Daxia fell very early.

 Later, it was occupied by many parties for a time, and was not recovered until the middle and late stages of the disaster.

 Perhaps it was during this period that the shape of the ruins changed, which caused the deviation from his memory.

Although this situation is rare, it is not unheard of.

 He had seen it once in his previous life.

 It was originally a relic from ancient times, but suddenly a spaceship with a full sense of technology was excavated from it.

 At once, the nature of this relic becomes ambiguous.

 The ruins in front of us now are probably the same.

Following Lu Cheng's gaze.

 On the metal road, a line of light curtains lit up.

 …

  【Sealing Array: In operation】

 …

No more information than a simple hint.

Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

 The external conditions of ruins of the same type were similar. Without entering the interior, he could not tell which ruin it was.

Since we can't identify it by conventional means, we can only try the Source Energy Illustrated Book.

 “Refine.”

 Lu Cheng raised his hand.

 A ray of light flashed past and disappeared into his body.

【Ding, after refining the black iron level BOSS: Mechanical Pioneer (level 17) successfully, you gain the upper limit of source energy +29, the upper limit of mana +56, and the agility +4. 】

　　【Ding, the number of entries in the Source Energy Illustrated Book +1. 】

 Listen to the system sound in your ears.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

 Then, start looking at the Source Energy Illustrated Book.

 In the Source Energy Illustrated Book, the information of the mechanical pioneers was indeed included.

 …

 【1-turn illustrated book: 3 pictures】

 …

 【Pioneer of adaptive A-shaped machinery】

　　【Level 17, Black Iron BOSS. 】

　　【The mechanical creation produced by the Toya ruins can only be loaded with low-level intelligent modules, and its combat power is not as high as the star. 】

 …

 At first glance, Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

 In the Source Energy Illustrated Book, the origin of the mechanical pioneers is indeed marked!
