Chapter 167 Pre-War Transition

Having lived two lives, Lin Luo has not been exposed to too many dramas such as officialdom competition. Therefore, in terms of strategy, he is probably not as good as those old hands who have been struggling in the officialdom for many years.

After all, the tricks to manipulate others have to be learned, and the same is true when new recruits are teased by veterans.

It can be said that as his life level increased, his thinking became more flexible. With a little hint, he could draw inferences from one example and deduce a more appropriate plan.

But to draw inferences about other cases from one example, there must be a "one". It's impossible to create something out of nothing, right?

Let’s see who are the most evil-hearted people he has ever come into contact with?

They are military generals like Xiahou Xuan and Wu Qi.

Although they are still active, if you look closely, their tactics are still inferior to those of civil servants who are obsessed with intrigue.

This is because Xiahou Xuan was exposed to the combat modes of the Empire's active legions, the rational use of new electromagnetic weapons, the coordinated operations of amphibious laser tanks and Gauss riflemen, etc.

Everyone has their own expertise, and they only focus on military equipment, and rarely scheme with their colleagues.

By analogy, Lin Luo felt that his tactics didn't seem very sophisticated either.

He didn't think that the law enforcer who had been able to get along with all the forces and had been in charge of this place for more than a hundred years would be a good person and would fall into the pocket he had woven.

The previous composite magic circle was able to achieve remarkable success because he did not reveal his strength. He took advantage of the information gap between the two sides and caught the Warcraft off guard.

By the time Warcraft reacted, the composite magic circle collapsed at an extremely fast speed, which proved that Warcraft was not a complete idiot.

"So, suddenness and the unknown are very important." Lin Luo murmured softly.

In this world where old dogs are everywhere, keeping some cards hidden will do more good than harm to your own safety.

At this moment, he was suspended in the air, with a translucent crystal as big as a basketball floating in front of him, emitting a brilliant red glow.

It's hard to believe that the rock demon lizard, whose body is hundreds of meters long, has such a small magic core in its head.

The magic core is a crystal formed by the fusion of rule power and magic energy factors, which gradually solidifies and has a strange structure.

Because it can enhance the power of magicians' magic, alchemists regard it as an indispensable main material when forging staffs.

The magic energy in Lin Luo's palm flowed, gently stroking the magic core, and countless magic array patterns flashed in his eyes.

Breath Concealment Technique, Concealment Technique, Blazing Flame Song, Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Their Origin, Thunder Shaking the Nine Heavens...

He recorded all the spells like this that were useful to Yin people and were above the purple level.

The magic he cast was constantly changing, and even he himself was not clear how many killing skills were engraved in them.

After a long time, Lin Luo had already seen the figure of the red-eyed demon lizard in his spiritual vision. He snorted softly and sighed with some reluctance:

"What a shame! It seems this treasure that could make ordinary people rich overnight can no longer be sold for money."

Although he had long understood that battle was inevitable, when the enemy actually approached and he felt the suffocating pressure from the eighth-level creature, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Even though his mental strength and endurance were almost at their maximum, he still couldn't resort to a head-on confrontation in the next battle.

The risk factor is slightly higher...

Thanks to his immense basic mental power, Lin Luo was able to clearly see the level of the Red-Eyed Demon Lizard. He then glanced at the detailed data displayed on the system:

[Red-Eyed Demon Lizard, Level 75, Strength 420M, Stamina 462M, Agility 230M, Mental Strength 411M]

As expected of a law enforcer who has been colluding with various ethnic groups for many years, he must have a lot of magic plants and magic crystals.

Except for agility, all the attributes of the Red-Eyed Demon Lizard are very balanced, and the high endurance of 462M can completely make up for the lack of agility.

Strong rival?

No, this is walking experience!

Although there is no double reward for fighting against higher-level monsters, you can still gain thousands of megabytes of experience by killing an eighth-level monster.

Moreover, judging from the flying speed of the red-eyed demon lizard, its anger had obviously reached its peak. It was even willing to damage its body in order to allow the powerful magic gale to carry the demon beast clan forward.

Lin Luo already had a rough idea of the purpose of the Red-Eyed Demon Lizard's actions.

Perhaps, they are cannon fodder used to test their true strength?

"If that's the case, I should thank it." Lin Luo chuckled and shook his head slightly. Having inherited the fear of insufficient firepower, he pressed the magic core again and worked hard.

To be on the safe side, he engraved powerful spells like "Song of Fiery Flame" several times in succession. He finally stopped his actions when the internal structure of the magic core showed signs of collapse.

The value of a magic core is determined by the bloodline and strength of the monster in its lifetime. The high-level seventh-grade magic core in his hand can be ranked in the upper-middle range among the seventh-grade beast cores.

Magical beasts with pseudo third-level bloodlines are rare on the market.

In the wizard world, the value of a sixth-grade magic core is around 10,000 low-grade magic crystals, while a seventh-grade magic core starts at 100,000 low-grade magic crystals.

Magic crystal is a mineral that contains a vast amount of magic energy and is widely distributed in areas with rich magic energy. The purer the magic crystal, the more effective it is for the mage's practice.

On the contrary, the lower the purity of the magic crystal, the less valuable it is. Absorbing a large amount of low-purity magic crystal in a short period of time may even harm the mage's practice.

He just wanted to exchange this priceless magic core for a magic crystal of higher purity. He believed that if he could absorb it, his experience points would definitely increase significantly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Luo looked at the system panel:

"Ling, take out the corpse of the rock demon lizard in advance."

"Okay, but the experience points can't be refunded. I'll keep the temporary space for you." Ling would not let go of the experience points and explained confidently: "Given your situation, there will definitely be a monster corpse that meets the requirements to move in later. It won't be a loss."

The corpse of the rock demon lizard appeared out of thin air and was neatly placed in front of Lin Luo. The blood was still hot, as if it had just died.

"Although the service is good, but..." Lin Luo glanced at the Rock Demon Lizard and said speechlessly, "I still can't help but say something to you. You are so shameless to be able to describe the unscrupulous business practices so righteously."

"Same here." Ling said lazily.

She doesn't care whether her reputation is bad or not.

Lin Luo didn't want to talk to her anymore. He first peeled off the hard bones, then took out the more valuable main tendons and heart blood, and put them into his personal space.

At this time, the portable space has been expanded to a size of one million cubic meters. Although it sounds exaggerated, it is actually just a box with a length, width and height of one hundred meters.

After the Warcraft dies, its body will return to its original size. This cramped space can only accommodate half of the lizard's body, or more important materials, which is totally insufficient.
