Chapter 46: Earth Mystic Armor, Two Sentry Towers

Boss?

Hearing the system announcement, Mcgee could not help but be slightly surprised.

Obviously, this was a global announcement, and all the Beast Masters could hear this news.

It was obvious from the expression on Omori’s face.

He looked surprised. “Lord Mcgee, the monster you killed triggered the boss, but we don’t know where it spawned. Otherwise, we can also try to challenge it.”

Mcgee did not say anything.

He knew that it was time for him to widen the gap between him and the other Beast Masters.

Now, the top few on the leaderboard were very close to each other. Even with Mcgee’s current condition, with him not worrying about food, it was difficult for him to widen the gap between him and the other Beast Masters.

He did not know when the next settlement would be better than him. The rewards for the tools in the top few were too good to pass up. He could not let them go.

“Then let’s use the Molten Lizard to defend the first place.” Mcgee chuckled.

Currently, only he knew the exact location of the Molten Lizard. He would definitely get the first kill.

However, all the Beast Masters, including himself, were very tired. Therefore, he had to make some preparations.

“Let’s go back and rest.”

Mcgee immediately walked out of the mine.

“Lord Mcgee, do I still have to mine?” Omori said weakly.

“Let’s go back together.”

Seeing that he had contributed to killing the Giant Rock Monster, Mcgee exempted him from today’s task.

After returning home, Mcgee immediately began to work on smelting.

[System notification: Congratulations, through smelting, you obtained Iron Block x 100!]

[System notification: Congratulations, you have obtained iron x 100 through smelting!]

[System notification: Congratulations, you have obtained iron x 100 through smelting!]

[System notification: Congratulations, you have obtained copper x 100 through smelting!]

Half a day passed, and the raw minerals were all converted into materials.

Mcgee opened the manufacturing interface once again.

[Bronze level mystic armor (success rate 95%, failure will result in the loss of all materials; proficiency bonus — 0%)]

Forging equipment was different from forging items. There was a certain probability of failure.

Fortunately, bronze equipment was not difficult to make, and Mcgee did not think that his luck would be so bad that he would encounter the 5% failure rate.

He clicked on the crafting mystic armor.

[System notification: Copper-10, iron-50, rock type Mana Core-1]

[Mystic armor]: Armor imbued with the power of rocks, able to withstand a certain degree of attack.

[System notification: Congratulations on producing a bronze-grade mystic armor. Obtained forging proficiency of 165!]

[System notification: Your forging skills have increased!]

[Forging master lvl 1]: Able to provide a higher success rate when forging equipment. Current bonus of 1%

…

Mcgee did not hesitate and directly used the source of the Earth.

[System notification: Your mystic armor has fused with the source of the Earth and has successfully evolved into the earth mystic armor (Gold-tier)]

Mcgee was a little surprised. He thought that it would be good enough to evolve into a silver-tier armor. He did not expect his luck to be so good. He bumped into the 15% chance to make it into a piece of gold-tier equipment.

This way, he would have more confidence in conquering the Molten Lizard.

He rummaged through his bag again.

Crossbow sentry tower.

Required materials: Iron * 8, stone * 20, wood * 10, copper ore * 15.

Stone sentry tower.

Required materials: Iron * 15, stone * 5, wood * 8, copper ore * 20.

Now that the materials were sufficient, they were all made and placed in their homes.

Two towering watchtowers, one at the front and one at the back, protected the wooden house from all sides.

Coincidentally, a Heavy-armored Bull passed by not far away. With two whooshing sounds, a crossbow arrow and a catapult flew over simultaneously, accurately hitting the bull.

“Moo!”

Immediately, the Heavy-armored Bull howled and fell to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.

“So strong?”

The strength of the two watchtowers shocked Mcgee, and he could not help but check the attributes of the watchtowers.

[Crossbow watchtower LVL 1]

Attack: Medium

Defense: Low

Firing Speed: Fast

Range: Medium

Durability: 100/100

Evolution Direction: Physics, elements

Upgrade Requirement: Depends on the evolution path

Special Effect: Crossbow arrows have a certain penetrating ability, causing a bleeding effect on the target.

…

[Stone-throwing watchtower lvl 1]

Attack: High

Defense: Medium

Firing Speed: Slow

Range: Far

Durability: 100/100

Evolution Direction: Physics, elements

Level requirement: Depends on the evolution path

Special Effect: Stone-throwing will cause a certain amount of splash damage. When it hits a weak point, it will have a fatal hit effect.

…

“So many materials were not wasted. This was amazing.”

Mcgee sighed.

With this thing, it seemed that there would be no need for beast controllers to take care of any beasts lurking nearby in the future.

Moreover, this sentry tower could still evolve. Thus, there were two different directions to choose from.

“Should I choose the element or physics attack…”

Mcgee pondered for a moment and immediately chose the former.

The elemental sentry tower would definitely consume a large number of crystal cores with relative attributes. Unfortunately, he currently did not have a stable way to obtain them.

However, he could leave this problem to Romon to solve. He did not need to worry too much.

The damage of an elemental sentry tower was definitely higher than that of a physical element sentry tower. This was the reason why Mcgee chose it.

After he chose it, the evolution requirements of the sentry tower had indeed changed.

Evolution Requirements: Elemental crystal cores of various elements (0/1).

[Note]: What type of crystal cores are used, and what type of elemental power the sentry tower will have, and then it cannot be changed after.

The material requirements for both sentry towers were the same. One crystal core did not seem too difficult to obtain.

Hence, Mcgee immediately sent a private message to Romon.

“Do you have a crystal core?”

The other party immediately replied.

“Of course I do. No matter what type of element it is, I can help you get it, big boss Mcgee!”
