Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 590 Let Me Try It Alone

Roland didn’t read the battle report on the forum, so he didn’t know the latest news on the frontier of the battle against the Spatial Magic Tower.

In his opinion, it shouldn’t be a problem for several thousand players to conquer the Spatial Magic Tower.

After all, he had killed one of their elders when five of them attacked him together, which indicated that the elders of the Spatial Magic Tower weren’t good at fighting. Also, based on the battle report, the Great Elder who had the highest combat ability was already dead, and Andonara had killed another one.

At this moment, the Spatial Magic Tower only had a couple of kittens left.

By logic, it was impossible for the players to fail.

However, he underestimated his combat ability as well as the Spatial Magic Tower’s stock.

It was an academic sanctuary anyway, and it definitely had powerful research.

Besides that, he also overestimated the players’ combat ability in the current phase.

The average level of the 500,000 players was just level six. Those players who had come on boats or human-powered planes were the most zealous fighters. Their level was above average.

Even so, the five thousand players were only level eight on average. Only the few guild chairmen and battle maniacs had reached level

10.

Their level was too low for them to cause any damage to the intelligent golem, which was the epitome of the technologies of the Spatial Magic Tower.

The intelligent golem’s current level was 15. It also boasted a Fine Gold Body and the ability of Magic Power Absorption.

To describe it in the stats in the game, the basic physic defense of the intelligent golem was 25 points. Its resistance to cleavage, penetration, knockdown, and magic were 99, 95, 90, and 80 respectively. It was not something to be damaged by anyone who was not a Legend.

Even Legends might not be able to really hurt it unless they had high combat ability.

Also, after a human soul entered it, the intelligent golem was able to use tricks that only human beings knew.

That was much better than acting purely on natural instincts.

The several thousand players’ levels were too low. They might not be able to crush the enemy even if they had twice as many numbers.

However, the case would be different if there were five thousand Masters here.

It’s safe to conclude that their level wasn’t very suitable for this quest yet.

Their stats were completely outclassed.

The chairman of Fatter Cat had a lot of connections. He managed to reach out to Douglas and ask him to forward a message to Roland.

At this moment, Roland was studying the magic power circulation system on the boat.

Such boats could float because of the unbelievably large magic array at the bilge, which was unveiled by Roland in only three hours.

The ideas and technologies in the floating magic array were truly helpful to Roland, but what really surprised him was the magic power transmission system on the boat.

It was very advanced.

To wit, there were always losses during the transmission of energy. It might turn into other forms, such as light and heat.

Magic power was no exception.

However, there was absolutely no loss when the magic stripes on the boat carried magic power.

Roland was well aware of the significance behind this.

A loss-free transmission of energy would save a tremendous amount of resources.

Take the electric system of Roland’s motherland for example. The power that was lost during transmission each year was enough to support the neighboring country 24 hours a day for a whole year.

That was money, and a lot of it.

Even a tiny bit of energy waste might result in a terrible loss if the energy to be transmitted was great.

If the magic stripes were regarded as wires, Roland would be able to draw his magic arrays ten times bigger if there were no losses.

Roland wasn’t able to draw big magic arrays exactly because the loss during the transmission of magic power was too huge in Roland’s magic stripes. Bigger magic arrays meant greater power and a wider range of coverage.

With enough energy and “interrupters,” it wouldn’t be impossible to pave all of Hollevin with a magic array.

For example, a teleportation magic array that covered a whole city could send more than a hundred thousand soldiers to the back of the enemy line... That would be exciting.

Roland was more or less thrilled.

He tried to parse the arrays, only to find that the magic circuits on the boat were made of unique materials. He knew three of those materials, but he had never seen the other six.

He tried asking the magic apprentices who were responsible for boat maintenance, but none of them knew how to create the magic stripes on the boat.

However, one of the magic apprentices said, “I think it was Elder Greene who created those magic circuits on the boat.”

Oh!

It seemed that Roland had to pay a visit to the Spatial Magic Tower in case Greene got killed by the other players.

Right before he was going to set off, Douglas had come to him.

The rich guy had been living an enjoyable life in the Hollevin Magic Tower.

He studied magic, went fishing, chatted with Vincent, and partied with the nobles of Hollevin every day. While living a pleasant life, his magic abilities increased at a high speed too.

After only one year, he had already reached level eight from level three, and he only needed the last ten percent of EXP to arrive at level nine.

He sat down before Roland and said easily, “A friend of mine asked me to tell you this. They want you to go to the Spatial Magic Tower and restrain the intelligent golem. They’re willing to pay you two hundred gold coins for your work.”

Douglas was Roland’s fanboy. In his opinion, it was rather demeaning and insulting to propose to hire Roland with money, which was too cheesy.

However, the friend who asked him to help was an acquaintance in reality that he couldn’t turn down.

But Roland didn’t feel insulted at all.

Considering the exchange rate, two hundred gold coins equaled three million yuan.

Even the performance of a top pop star wouldn’t be so costly.

To be honest, if those people had dropped two hundred gold coins to the ground and said, “Hey, be my dog and the money will be yours,” he would’ve beaten the s*it out of them.

However, Douglas was very genuine and friendly at this moment, so he had no reason to refuse him.

After all, nobody could ever have enough money as long as they could earn it legally and righteously. “Okay, I’ll be on my way.” Roland put the bag of gold coins into his system Backpack and said with a smile, “Thank you, Douglas.”

Douglas was more or less flattered. He smiled delightedly. “You’re too kind. I didn’t really do anything.”

After telling Andonara and Vivian where he was going, Roland teleported to the Spatial Magic Tower.

He hadn’t read the battle report on the forum. After the teleportation, he immediately saw the intelligent golem that was standing near the city wall of Tebesia.

Then, he was shocked. “Shoot! A Gundam!”

Then, he spread out his mental power and carefully analyzed the magic waves of this intelligent golem.

“Body Fortification, Agility, Weight Reduction, Hawk Eye... Magic Damage Alleviation, Initiative Removal...” Roland had a strong toothache. “What the hell? How many buffs have been perpetualized on this thing? 27?”

Roland’s mental power was too special.

When he sensed the intelligent golem, the latter’s soul detected Roland too.

The recharging golem instantly turned around and looked at Roland. The air seemed to freeze during their eye contact.

Roland smiled at the golem and then flashed away.

He teleported himself to the base, and he was surrounded by a bunch of people right after he came in.

“Shoot! A bigshot is finally here to help us! There’s finally a chance for us to conquer this thing!”

“I don’t think Roland will be of much help, as the thing seems immune to magic.” “But he’s much stronger than us anyway. He knows magic. He may be able to identify the intelligent golem’s weaknesses.”

While everybody talked to Roland around him, a female player squeezed in and said to him, “Sir, please come with me. Several guilds have been waiting for you in the command center.”

Hearing that, the other players quickly dispersed and made way for Roland.

Roland followed the female player into the command center. Hardly had he stepped in when a handsome baldy grabbed his hand and shook it. “Sir, you’re finally here. We’d all have to kneel if you didn’t come.”

“You are...?” Roland looked at him curiously.

The handsome baldy kept shaking Roland’s hand. “I’m the chairman of Fatter Cat. You can call me Wright.”

Well, he was the magnate who personally paid a hundred gold coins to Roland, and all the other chairmen paid the other hundred gold coins together.

“Thank you for your invitation.” Roland smiled warmly. He had to be nice to his patron.

“You’re most welcome.” The baldy dragged Roland into the command center. “We should thank you for accepting such a worthless task.”

Then, Wright introduced everybody at the commander center to him. Roland nodded at everybody and asked, “Do you have a plan? How should I work for you?”

The atmosphere in the command center had been rather awkward so far.

as

After all, Roland was well-known to be the best of all players.

He was also a paid specialist who had been hired to help, not to mention that he was the one who shared the quest in the first place.

If he wanted to be the commander, the others would have to step back.

However, the chairmen were all more or less obsessed with power and didn’t want to let go of it.

They had already reached a compromise by sitting down and negotiating with each other.

They weren’t entirely satisfied with the compromise. They were even more or less angry about it.

But Roland turned out to be a great talker. As the person that had been hired with a great amount of money, he should take charge of the battle from here.

However, Roland asked how he should work for them, which made all them feel delighted.

Roland’s not half bad!

All the guild chairmen were thinking the same thing

“We’re a team. Nobody is working for anyone.” Wright felt rather ashamed about his “unleash Roland” joke earlier. “You know magic very well, sir, so we were hoping that you could locate the weaknesses of this golem, and that you could create one if it doesn’t have any.”

“I don’t know what its weaknesses are either, but I might be able to learn that after a fight with it.”

“Then we’ll organize a dare-to-die team to cooperate with you.”

“That will be unnecessary. I can manage it on my own.”

“On your own?”

The chairmen were surprised, envious, and even jealous.
