Chapter 1681: 562. Oh my, not easy, finally got paid – additional update [4/30]_3
“???”
Murphy’s eyes widened.
Wow, I actually received a reward, just like getting a little gold star in school for being attentive and doing my homework well, really fantastic!
So, what’s with the tone of encouragement from you as an old boss to your subordinates? Is it a way to demand I continue fulfilling my duties as the curator? Tch, do you think I’m so easily bought?
Thinking so, he quickly memorized the incentive stipend code, and then he noticed that two notifications popped up in his long inactive achievement system:
[Personally completed the nurturing and coronation of a racial leader!
“Wise Wolf” Hog/Bloodclaw Clan’s reputation has reached “worship”!
The hidden achievement ‘King Maker’ has been unlocked, achievement points +10, reputation achievement [Famed] completion 2/5.
Personally completed the hatching of two millennial eggs, bringing the Ningkinanka tribe closer to prosperity.
Serpent Clan Chief Oru/Marsh Legend lineage reputation has reached “worship”!
The hidden achievement ‘My Gentle Caregiver Daddy Mommy’ has been unlocked, achievement points +10, reputation achievement [Famed] completion 3/5.]
“What the what…”
Murphy clenched his fists, yelling alone in the monitoring room:
“I can understand the first King Maker; Hog is indeed a leader wholly discovered, nurtured, and thrust onto the historical stage by me. But what does the second achievement mean? Could you explain it to me more clearly?
What’s a daddy mommy?
No daddy mommy!
Darn it, I think this broken system is intentionally making life difficult for me Murphy!”
“What are you yelling about all by yourself over there?”
Triss’s voice came from the dormitory behind, as the Blood Vulture Duke wrapped in a towel wiped her wet hair and asked:
“Did you discover anything strange?”
“Oh, nothing, just a curator stipend waiting for me to collect. You see, I work so well that even this cold machine knows to reward me.”
Murphy returned to the dormitory, leaning against the door watching Triss.
He said:
“You see, there are some vampires who clearly want me to help expand her clan, but I do such a great job and yet fail to offer me a reward… Truly a heartless, beautiful vampire.”
“Haha, if you keep babbling, I’ll teleport back to the Blood Vulture Corridor. You can sleep here alone tonight.”
Triss, rather impatiently, removed the towel and said:
“Hurry up! Finish up and let’s sleep.”
“Coming, coming.”
Murphy hummed, thinking he mustn’t be mad at his girlfriend to avoid another bad incident.
He approached Triss standing behind her, the futuristic dressing mirror ahead reflecting two blurred figures. Vampires on this continent still fit those fantasy legends; their forms, especially those of high-ranking vampires, are hard to clearly reflect in such ordinary mirrors.
Only a specially made Psychic Mirror can show their true form.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll devour you in one bite?”
He leaned down, whispering in the wet-haired Triss’s ear:
“You know, sometimes men find it hard to control themselves, especially in front of a lovely lady who’s already a soul mate.”
“You said to go step by step, Murphy.”
Triss rolled her eyes adorably, lifting her head like a swan and kissing Murphy. During the interlude, she softly said:
“Alright, I’ll admit I indeed have concerns, but until those shadows entwining me dissipate, Murphy, I can’t selfishly let you bear more pressure for me.”
“I’ll bring her down!”
The Vampire Lord’s hand slowly moved over the skin of his lover, he said:
“That jerk Origin who’s been blocking us, I’ll make her know the consequence of such tricks… Oh, although I’ve always known, I must exclaim. You Alchemy Masters’ craftsmanship is… alright, don’t glare at me.
I’ll shut up, okay?”
Triss hummed, but the next second, holding Murphy’s giant handle, she suddenly asked:
“You know, little Murphy, I could do more, like those outrageous actions that night… But I need to know what you saw in the memories of Salockdale, tell me, tell me without reservation.”
“You’ll bear a heavy mental burden because of it, Triss. That’s our original sin, alright alright, don’t press! I’ll tell you if you really want to know.”
—
Several hours later, the quiet first floor of the Marsh Museum flashed a beam of light in front of the warehouse, reflecting Murphy’s sneakily excited face as if he were a burglar.
Triss was still upstairs clumsily studying those mysterious Creator Technology according to the curator’s manual, he, having relieved his stress, hurried here to collect his first curator stipend reward.
Reaching out to input the previous code into the control panel in front of him, soon, a black mechanical box was delivered to the platform in front of Murphy.
The Vampire Lord rubbed his hands, opened the mechanical box, and found five pieces of neatly arranged blue-glowing cubes inside, along with two obelisk-shaped precision devices.
Murphy raised his eyebrows, put his left hand on a cube, and a description popped out:
Name: Universal High Energy Battery Pack
Use: Can serve as an energy source for various mechanical items under the Creator system.
Item Description:
[Don’t be fooled by its small and unimpressive appearance, it’s the most important basic component of the Creator system, from an automatic cruising spaceship to a mobile security device or an energy weapon, all require this for power.
One standard universal high energy battery pack can provide stable, plentiful, and lasting energy. Under normal circumstances, it can support a standard mechanical module for a century.
To outsiders, this thing is a mystery, but it’s said that it uses some variant technology of cold nuclear fusion inside.
Some vampires who only know how to play with spiritual energy shouldn’t try to understand it. This thing could easily fry a dozen pig brains.]
“Tsk tsk, this item description is getting more and more aggressive. I wonder if it’s not an illusion, after completing candidate binding, this is no longer the cold explanation it used to be, it seems to carry a hint of personal emotion.
The Creator’s stuff is really wicked.”
Murphy murmured to himself as he picked up the hefty energy battery in his hand; he stroked this absolutely black-tech object, whispering:
“I think with this, I can get Loyal Brother’s organization to willingly send out a survey team, of course, if there’s a manufacturing explanation that would be even better.
This thing is too advanced
Their reverse engineering will take ages to figure it out. But I absolutely don’t doubt those guys’ money-loving powers of deduction; they can definitely figure something out, alright. When the time comes, I’ll reveal it.
However, I could suitably give Meng HaHa a touch of ‘otherworldly shock’.
Hmm, I’ll write a new quest chain specifically for her in a few days.”
Having said that, Murphy placed his fingers on those two “obelisks”, and a description popped:
Name: Fixed Energy Matrix Generator
Quality: Miracle Creation
Use: Once activated, generates a 500M x 500M standard matrix shield, able to absorb various energy damages, can protect users from harm before the shield’s capacity reaches its limit.
Can also adjust the shield frequency to generate a kinetic neutralization field to block physical damage, but energy consumption in this mode will significantly increase.
Item Description:
[This object is a plugin for military vehicles under the Creator system, but don’t be fooled by its overly modest description. Its shield capacity is unimaginably large; once, a lunatic used it to withstand a frenzied attack from an Evil God.
Generally, this thing isn’t distributed to civilian units. However, the marsh ecological area has a special status, so during construction, a batch of Shield Generators were reportedly stored here but requires special authorization to activate.
To activate it, you’ll need several standard universal batteries, which is a pain… oh, you already have them? Then it’s fine.
Congratulations, Sir, you are now invincible!]
“My position is set.”
Murphy squinted his eyes, thinking:
“I’ll try out the power of these Creator black technologies right at Wasteland Mountain.”
