Earth's Best Gamer Chapter 243 - Contract and Mirage Dragon Warship

Chapter 243: Contract and Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The moment the red energy s.h.i.+eld was broken, two vines, covered in a sheen of red light, circ.u.mvented the roiling white Dragon Aura and were about to bite Ji Ye’s head like two tiny red snakes!

“…”

However, the vines suddenly stopped the moment they were about to hit Ji Ye.

The Mutated Tree Demon seemed to have sensed something, and its two red vines were moving back and forth in midair as if it were sizing up Ji Ye.

“It seems that you’re not completely out of control. My trouble can be saved.”

Ji Ye, who had no intention of dodging at all, slightly narrowed his eyes after seeing this.

He had three layers of protection, namely the Dragon Aura, the Yin and Yang Sutra, and the earthen energy. He also carried the ice chisel and a Soul Slasher in his soul.

If the two vines had attacked him, they would’ve been turned into ice or torches in the next moment.

However, it was obvious that the aggressiveness of the Mutated Tree Demon was suppressed by certain instincts of blood and soul after it identified him.

It was because the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method, as a Perfect skill, had prepared enough measures to control the soul it created.

For example, when Ji Ye shaped the soul of this Mutated Tree Demon, the “key a.s.set” he used was the power of his own blood and soul!

For that reason, the Mutated Tree Demon lost all its aggressiveness when faced with him.

Pa!

However, after the Mutated Tree Demon stopped attacking, Ji Ye began to take action. He extended his finger and pointed at the red vines of the Mutated Tree Demon with the glow that represented “talent skill”.

However, the glow didn’t mean “Fusion” or “Healing” this time, but “Contract”!

[Contract (talent skill)]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Description: With the consent of the target, one could sign “contracts” with any creatures of Extraordinary level and below. All contracted creatures would be considered a part of the settlement (maximal times of usage: 5).]

It was a talent skill that had a maximal number of usage. Ji Ye had acquired it from the “Seed of Providence” beta tester on the Eagle Men’s side.

He had entered the Battlefield of Providence earlier and never used the skill.

At this moment, Ji Ye decided to choose this Mutated Tree Demon as his first target.

As the “backup body” of the Transcendent Tree Demon, it definitely had huge potentials, and it was growing fast after the mutation.

Its abilities were also very useful to the fort, and it was worth one of the times of usage!

Of course, the contract could not be signed without the consent of the target.

It meant that, if the Mutated Tree Demon chose to refuse or resist, the contract would not be set up!

Of course, if the Mutated Tree Demon refused the contract, Ji Ye would naturally take action.

It wasn’t easy for it to develop a soul, but if it was out of control, he would certainly destroy it. Anyway, he still had a Soul Mask that he could use.

Hum!

However, after Ji Ye’s finger touched it, the glow of “Contract” melted into the Mutated Tree Demon’s body without being rejected.

The familiarity based on soul and blood made the Mutated Tree Demon accept the contract without much resistance!

“Huh, the contract is not half bad…”

After the contract, Ji Ye and the Mutated Tree Demon established a clear mental connection. They could communicate telepathically like on the Battlefield of Providence.

Ji Ye could also give orders to it remotely and even sense the environment from the perspective of the Mutated Tree Demon!

As to whether or not it had other functions, he would have to explore and find out…

“You’ll just root here. Remember, don’t attack without my order!

“Well, you can be named ‘Blood’!”

After seeing the Mutated Tree Demon’s maple leaves that were as red as blood, Ji Ye decided to name it after that.

…

After dealing with the Mutated Tree Demon that had already been named “Blood”, Ji Ye went to the other location where he performed the Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art.

It was the Metal Men’s settlement core!

In the settlement of the Metal Men where a lot of workshops had been established, the lake of Silver Liquid at the center was heavily guarded.

It was protected by at least two Silver Guards at all times. n.o.body could come in without permission.

That was because the place was the power source of the whole industrial base!

Once the SkyNet system had been completely founded, this would undoubtedly become a new center of the settlement. To some extent, it would even be more important than the fort itself!

After all, apart from hosting the SkyNet, the Metal Men’s settlement was also the industrial and technological base in the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s plan!

“Is there still no reaction from the Silver Liquid?”

Ji Ye came here because he had performed the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method in this place.

Almost twenty days had pa.s.sed. The Silver Liquid should’ve already condensed a “soul”, and new “Metal Men” should’ve appeared.

The seed of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon, for example, sprouted three days after it was planted.

However, the lake of Silver Liquid was exactly the same as before.

“Is it because there are Transcendent items at the bottom of the lake?”

Ji Ye had a guess.

He was almost sure that the Metal Men’s “Silver Liquid Lake”, the Soul race’s “Soul Jade Well”, and the Sludge Monsters’ “Black Mud Swamp” all had Transcendent items in them.

But because these resources were all very important, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had never taken the items out.

“In that case, are we still going to set up SkyNet?”

An Quan, who led Wu Song who was carrying the SkyNet computer into the base, asked in confusion.

“Let’s set it up!”

Ji Ye thought for a moment and decided that it was unnecessary to find out the secrets in the Silver Fluid Lake yet.

Firstly, entering the lake right now would destroy the Soulblood Spirit Aggregation Art.

Secondly, the Silver Liquid had a high density and could block most detection methods. The truth couldn’t be found out very easily.

Thirdly, as stated before, the Silver Liquid was the only “energy center” that could generate electricity in the fort.

Even if he found any Transcendent items in the lake, he couldn’t take them out recklessly.

Besides, just like the “Buddha statue” in the Eagle Men’s settlement, even if anything shocking was really found in the lake, it couldn’t really affect the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s development plan.

Therefore, An Quan, Elder Jiao, and the other professionals were left behind to set up SkyNet and its components.

Ji Ye’s third stop after his return was the Forest Monsters’ territory that was next to the Metal Men’s settlement.

A fairly large s.h.i.+pyard had been set up near the sea, and dozens of people were working busily.

On the sea, there was a wars.h.i.+p that was almost fifty meters long and had three floors. It could accommodate more than two hundred people. It would be completed after the deck was paved!

“The central structure of the s.h.i.+p is made of the bones of the Mirage Dragon, which can control the water currents after the Extraordinary power in them is activated and make the s.h.i.+p move extremely fast. They can also create a mist and cloak up the s.h.i.+p on the sea…

“The body of the s.h.i.+p is made of a complete piece of red wood. It’s thick enough to absorb the blast of the cannonb.a.l.l.s below Extraordinary Rank-5. Thanks to the central cabin that’s made of the Heart of the Red Wood, the s.h.i.+p can repair itself in a quarter of an hour as long as it’s not severely damaged…

“At the critical parts such as the head of the s.h.i.+p, we adopted ‘purple wood’ that’s even more advanced. It will absorb the power of the impact when the s.h.i.+p collides with another tree, and it can even bounce the power back… It will give us an absolute edge!”

Meng Kang, a professional hero who was responsible for building wars.h.i.+ps on Liangshan, was introducing the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p to Ji Ye.

“How much longer will it take to complete the s.h.i.+p?”

What Ji Ye was more concerned about was the progress of construction.

“Considering our speed, it will probably take another half a month!

“Thanks to the s.h.i.+p parts you brought back from the Battlefield of Providence, Master, a lot of our time can be saved,” Meng Kang said.

When the pirate settlement was annihilated by the Yuan people on the Battlefield of Providence, the beta tester Li Lei left the pirate s.h.i.+p behind.

That was a wars.h.i.+p that had been greatly modified. Before Ji Ye left the Battlefield of Providence, he had spent some time fusing the items that were useful and taken them out.

For example, there were an Extraordinary compa.s.s and a bucket of nitroglycerin that were rated as Superior.

On the other hand, the pirate settlement had also dropped many useful spoils of war.

For example, there was a pirate flag that contained Transcendent power and could automatically cause a huge wind…

For that reason, the construction of the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p had been accelerated, and the whole process would take only one month.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would’ve taken much longer to build a wars.h.i.+p.

It was mostly because this wars.h.i.+p was made of special materials that didn’t have to be preprocessed in complicated ways. All they needed to do was to design and build.

Of course, the Mirage Dragon Wars.h.i.+p was built with a price.

Because most of the Mirage Dragon bones were taken away, the productivity of the Mirage Stones and the Colorful Bubbles had plummeted.

However, since they found out that the Twin Dragon Mount fort was on an island, a powerful “wars.h.i.+p” was a necessity to them.

After Ji Ye inspected the only “wars.h.i.+p” that the Twin Dragon Mount fort had at this moment, a piece of information suddenly echoed in the heads of all the players from Earth!

[“Time for the “Ten-Species Compet.i.tion” quest is up!”]

[“The headcount for the Earth human beings who are allowed to go to the Land of Inheritance is as follows!”]
