After a long time, Carl installed a number of volleyball-sized floating cannons on V's body.

It is said to be installed, but in fact it is more like "glued" to V's body.

The interface of the floating gun uses magnetic suction technology to ensure that it will not be thrown out due to strenuous movement.

When V is reactivated, five floaters rise from its body and spread out behind it.

"Master, I have connected to the floater and I feel good."

"Very good! Then let's test its power! Flame Arrow!"

As soon as the command was issued, a flame flew out from the floating cannon.

The scorching flames moved at a very fast speed and accurately hit the wall that Carl designated as the target.

"Yeah! Not bad!"

Looking at the charred marks on the wall, Carl felt generally satisfied.

The power of many tricks increases as the level goes up. At present, this type of attack has "promising future".

"If you start making trouble in the yard again, I won't clean up for you!"

Glaring at Carl, Nia chanted a few spells and cleaned the burnt marks on the wall.

"Haha, sorry, I'm quite excited. Are you interested in going to the Demiplane Labyrinth with me? I need to debug some mechanisms inside, and you can follow me to upgrade."

Some mages and artificers are always obsessed with accumulating knowledge and neglect the improvement of their own strength.

Although a well-known genius in the School of Transmutation, Nia is currently only a level 2 mage.

"Are you sure? I can't even guarantee that I won't fall behind."

Nia was not very enthusiastic about Carl's suggestion.

She prefers the traditional mage upgrade route - by copying scrolls and making alchemical potions.

"Don't be such a pity! I guarantee that you will level up as fast as a magic horse, and being active will help your body grow. Look at me, I've grown so tall since I started adventuring in the dungeon!"

Striking a bodybuilder's pose, Carl said this with confidence.

The reason why exercise can promote physical growth makes Nia eager to try it.

"Okay, I'll get ready. When are you going?"

"Then tomorrow! I remember that your Transmutation School seems to be setting up a training gold workshop recently? You can take this opportunity to come with me."

"Without Lisanna?"

"Uh~, I won't take him with me for now. I can only take care of one person by myself."

…

"Huh~, is the temperature here a little weird?"

At the entrance of the teleportation light portal of demiplane No. 2, Carl fanned his hands, looking very uncomfortable.

The surrounding air is full of water vapor, and with a high temperature of at least 40 degrees, one wonders whether this is a demiplane or a steamer.

As a last resort, he had to immediately put on the power armor helmet again and activate the underwater breathing magic pattern to isolate himself from the high temperature.

Nia was also feeling hot, so she took out her battle mage wand and shook it gently.

The abundant water vapor in the air slowly gathered and formed a water ring around her.

There were a lot of ice chips floating in the water ring, which caused the temperature around her to drop slightly.

"Didn't you see the latest released map of the demiplane maze? The first four demiplanes are connected to the four elemental planes, so they will show some of the characteristics of the elemental planes."

Perhaps she felt that the cooling measures just now were not enough. After saying that, Nia took out another bottle of resistance potion and drank it in small sips.

The fiery red magic flashed on her body for a moment, and then she completely adapted to the high temperature around her.

"I've been a bit busy lately. No. 1, where is the nearest Mystic Eye Mechanic House?"

In front of the two of them, Moore's artificial life servant No. 1 was leisurely. When it heard Carl's words, it immediately raised one leg and pointed to the right.

"V!"

Controlling the V-transformation motorcycle, Carl put No. 1 on the front of the motorcycle, and then took Nia on the motorcycle.

As the energy core started to operate, the tires of the motorcycle spun rapidly, carrying the two people forward.

Soon, the group successfully arrived at the mechanism hut of this plane. With the help of V, Carl quickly completed the command modification of the Mystic Eye mechanism.

But just as they were rushing towards the portal to the next demiplane, an old friend blocked their way.

"Wow! Isn't this a salamander?!"

Next to the steaming hot spring, a fire lizard holding a spear spoke the language of the Fire Tribe and stared at Carl and Nia.

Different from those idiots in the dungeon, this fire lizard is surrounded by many fire snakes and does not seem to be a guy who likes to fight alone.

"Master Karl, these fire lizards and fire snakes should have come here through the connection between the demiplane and the fire elemental plane. Don't worry that they will all die out. Even if you kill them all, they will quickly replenish their numbers."

Lying on the front of the car, No. 1 provided Carl with information about these monsters in a timely manner.

"That's great. Did you think I would say that? Nia! Action!"

With the sound of mechanical transformation, V changed back into the form of Iron Guard. His pair of huge mechanical hands opened and closed, looking quite terrifying.

The fire lizard on the opposite side waved its arm, and four or five fire snakes came rushing over.

“Well done!”

With a shout, Carl strode out, followed closely by V.

Carl stretched out his left hand and made a move, and V followed suit.

But V's arms and palms were larger than Carl's body, and when he stretched out his hands, he was just about to touch the leading fire snake.

At this moment, Carl clenched the hand armor of his power armor.

V synchronized Carl's movements in real time and captured the fire snake directly.

Without giving the other party a chance to struggle, Carl controlled V's other arm to grab the lower body of the fire snake, and then exerted force with both arms.

"Bang~"

Like breaking a rubber band, the fire snake's body straightened in an instant and then broke in the middle.

V's arms are already large in terms of strength and size. Coupled with a strength attribute of nearly 19 points, it is easy for him to tear a fire snake in pieces.

The only regret is that it is not flexible enough and might be targeted by other adventurers with superb combat skills.

The pros and cons of V flashed through Carl's mind. He activated his psychic powers and tried to control V simply with his thoughts instead of using physical movements.

“Huh~”

A whistling sound of wind was heard, and V's fist cut through the air and slammed into the second fire snake.

The fire snake's body suddenly thrust forward, and something that looked like a bone emerged from its back. It was obvious that it was dead.

At this moment, a smaller fire snake took advantage of V's attack gap and attacked Carl.

"Bang!"

A thunderous fist was thrown out, and the fire snake was knocked away by the punch.

Nia, who was standing behind, took out the magic missile wand at the right time. The flash dart generated by the wand drew an arc and accurately hit the fire snake that was trying to turn over.

"Karl! I'll take care of this! You guard the front!"

Nia quickly divided the work between the two people. She didn't look like she didn't want to take risks as before. She was excited to deal with the fire snake.

"Waste!" (Fire Tribe language) Cursing his own men, the fire lizard rushed over with a spear in hand.

Several fire snakes surrounded him and supported him. Carl couldn't block them all. He could only try his best to control V's hands to close together to form a defense.

But this salamander is also a very thoughtful person.

Seeing that the mechanical arm was about to close, he quickly swung his arm and threw the spear in his hand out quickly.

A white mark appeared on the power armor, and then V's mechanical arm clamped the spear.

Behind him, Nia had already completed her first kill.

She was currently immersed in a state of spiritual elevation and was a little absent-minded.

No. 1 stayed by her side, guarding her against possible attacks at any time.

"So this is what Karl meant by killing monsters to level up. It's indeed different from copying scrolls."

Muttering to herself, Nia quickly came to her senses from her state of rapid spiritual improvement.

Seeing Carl being pinned and beaten by the Salamander, she immediately started chanting a spell.

At the front of the battlefield, Carl, who blocked an attack with his defense, regrouped.

Fluctuations of psychic energy emanated, and Carl relied on the effects of the psychic energy and intelligence headband to fully activate the five floating cannons on V's body.

But before he could launch his attack, a deep feeling of exhaustion emerged from the depths of his soul.

After all, the intelligence attributes improved by equipment are not one's own, and Carl's soul has "pulled muscles".

Carl held on to his spirits and reduced the number of activated floaters to two.

Freeze rays and lightning traction were fired one after another, leaving two marks on the fire lizard's body.

'Recover!'

Activating his warrior characteristics, Carl extracted the energy hidden in his body and alleviated his condition.

At this time, the salamander had already come close to Carl.

A pair of super-heated hands grasped the handle of the spear again, trying to pull it out of V's mechanical hand.

At this moment, several magic missiles attacked and exploded on the Salamander's arms.

Feeling the pain, the fire lizard quickly let go of the spear.

'Good opportunity!'

Seizing the opportunity, Carl controlled V to hold the spear in his own hand, and then stabbed back at the fire lizard.

“Puff!”

The sharp spear pierced through the fire lizard's body, but the piercing attack was the slightest injury to the elemental life.

If the spear hadn't had a bit of magic attached to it, the attack wouldn't have caused any damage to the fire lizard.

But……

Who says you can't kill someone without a gun? JPG With psychic light shining in his eyes, Carl activated V's Thunder Fist.

“Buzz——”

The ultrasonic vibration was transmitted along the spear, and the fire lizard, who was grabbing the spear with both hands and trying to take back his weapon, suddenly fell all over.

The fire element power that made up his body had just been "shocked", which greatly damaged his body structure, and a large amount of fire element flowed out of his body.

If it were a mortal being, his brain would probably have been shaken to pieces.

"Damn human!"

With a wail, the salamander retreated in embarrassment.

But how could Karl let him go at this time?

Taking a step forward, Carl no longer forced himself to control V with his mind and returned to the previous synchronization mode.

Reaching out and grabbing the Salamander's arm, Carl swung his arm vigorously, performing a scene of the Hulk angrily hitting Loki.

While he was messing around, he did not forget to continue to activate the effect of Thunder Fight Fist.

After a few hits, the robot's hand was suddenly empty.

The fire lizard actually disappeared in mid-air.

Several fire snakes that were about to step forward to help were stunned for a moment, and then quickly jumped into the hot spring next to them.

The hot body left a hissing white mist on the water surface. Karl vaguely saw the treasure chest in the hot spring pool.

"Huh~, the battle is over, let's hurry to the next mechanism room to rest, I feel like my brain is a bit exhausted."

Shaking his head, Carl controlled V to transform back into a motorcycle, and the group quickly headed towards the teleportation light gate.

As they passed through the light gate, the surrounding environment instantly changed from scorching hot back to normal.

The hut that houses the secret eye mechanism stands on a cliff not far away.

Carl didn't hide his figure and drove the motorcycle directly to the side of the cabin.

No. 1 quickly opened the permission, and Carl brought Nia and V in.

After writing the program into the secret eye mechanism, Carl took off his power armor and fell asleep on the floor.

…

"Carl? Carl! Wake up!"

After an unknown amount of time, Carl woke up from his coma.

This time he did not enter the dream world, and his head was still a little groggy after waking up.

He slightly mobilized his spiritual energy, but Carl's soul was like an over-exercised muscle, filled with a feeling of powerlessness.

There was a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy, and then it went silent.

"Your soul has fallen into a state of exhaustion because you forcefully activated the device. But you don't have to worry. This is also the way spellcasters train their soul strength. Just get used to it."

Seeing that Carl finally woke up from his coma, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She filled a bowl with broth and brought it to Carl. She helped Carl sit up and explained to him his current condition.

Just like exercising muscles, the soul will also gain a "exercise effect" when used intensively.

Most spellcasters who are born with insufficient intelligence rely on this method to continuously strengthen their soul strength, thereby improving their intelligence attributes bit by bit.

"It's all my fault that I got carried away in a moment of anxiety!"

Carl took the broth and drank the whole bowl in gulps.

The rich soup was a little sticky. Carl looked down and found that one of the ingredients for the soup was the fire snake meat that he hunted in the dungeon.

"Thank you for finding these things. I almost forgot where I put them."

Struggling to get up, Carl took out his pocket watch to check the time and found that it was already afternoon.

"How long do you plan to take to complete the remaining demiplane? Actually, we can slow down a bit."

After saying that, Nia served herself a bowl as well, and then ate the soup happily with bread dipped in it.

The entire demiplane maze is roughly distributed in concentric circles. The closer the circle is to the center, the smaller the demiplane number.

Every time he entered the front demiplane, Carl had to go through the previous route again.

So in order to solve the problem once and for all, he originally planned to fight a long-term battle this time.

What he didn’t expect was that his soul was “overworked” just after encountering a strong enemy.

"I wanted to finish the renovation of your Transmutation School's alchemy workshop before it was completed, but given the current situation, I'm afraid it will take longer."

Carl sighed and rubbed his brows.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve actually done almost all of the next few experiments myself. I’m only attending class to follow the teacher’s ideas and do them again.

By the way, my mage level has been upgraded to level 3. Next, I want to officially work as a part-time artificer. Carl, you can just lie back and relax."
