Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Chapter 163 Upper node, evolution completed, seventh-level city
This production node is divided into upper and lower levels?
Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng's heart moved.

So that's it, no wonder no other buildings were seen in the room.

Will you gain anything after reaching the upper level?

Thinking in his mind, he looked at the giant metal pillar.

The only building on the lower level of this production node should be the dome elevator.

Under the touch, the giant metal pillar actually reacted.

"Metal life authority detected, dome elevator activated."

There was the sound of mechanical operation inside the giant pillar, and the metal skin was pulled up like a rolling shutter door, revealing the elevator car inside.

The interior space of this elevator car is very large, and it looks like it is used for handling cargo.

"Take the dome elevator to reach the upper level of the production node. Metal life can ride on it, and mechanical creations must ride with it."

He has eaten the spiritual fruit produced by the bronze tree sapling, and has metal life permissions, so he can ride directly.

From the looks of it, it's only a matter of minutes before evolution is complete.

As long as you keep exploring, you will find it sooner or later.

Then when the Metal Flower Spirit evolves, can any information be extracted from it?
He glanced sideways at the metal flower spirit.

However, in this case, there is no rush to go up.

The breath crystal can destroy divine power in a targeted manner. It is probably embedded here to destroy the power in this carving.

Looking back, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

Most of these robot remains are incomplete, but some of them are relatively complete.

Maybe it was this reason that caused the mark to fail to point out the direction again.

Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

At this time, the brilliance shrouding the metal flower spirit was already shining brightly, and it was undergoing final shaping.

Except for the dome elevator, there are no other buildings in the production node, only the remains of robots.

"Is it because of the breath crystal?"

Lu Cheng looked around.

However, it didn't have much impact on him.

Inside the elevator, a mechanical announcement sounded.

According to the God of Luck's diary, although he has not fully explored the Toya ruins, he has also encountered level 100 monsters and must have left more than one mark.

The β-shaped notches were exactly the same as the one he saw before, but he didn't point out the direction.

There are an unknown number of robot remains here, and there are hundreds of them with complete bodies. It’s totally worth the wait!
While waiting, Lu Cheng looked at the scratches on the ground.

Lu Cheng took out the statue of the God of Luck and shook it at the notch, but there was also no reaction.

This metal pillar is indeed a dome elevator... Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

He was thinking in his mind, and suddenly, rays of metallic light lit up from his shoulders.

Looking at the light, Lu Cheng felt happy.

This is the completion of the evolution of the Metal Flower Spirit!
Sure enough, not long after, the system prompt rang.

[Ding, the metal flower spirit evolved successfully! Current number of evolutions: 2 times. 】

[The metal flower spirit absorbed the mimic AI mechanical center and gained a new characteristic slot! 】

Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Absorbing the mechanical center, is there such a benefit?

This was an unexpected surprise.

Under the binding, the improvement of the metal flower spirit is equivalent to his own improvement.

Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

Things with infinite growth attributes like Endless Drain are extremely rare. Throughout the twenty years of Cataclysm, there have been few. There is also a limit to the number of times that you can obtain new characteristics.

I just don’t know, how many times is the upper limit for this increase?
Thinking in his mind, he looked at the metal flower spirit.

Under the rays of light, one can vaguely see the shape of the metal flower spirit changing continuously.

At the same time, the properties of the metal flower spirit also appeared before his eyes.

……

【Metal Flower Spirit】

[Level: Level 3 (equivalent to settlement hub, upgrade to obtain functional gains)]

[HP: 68000/68000]

[Functions: Provide blessings, pick up items, language proficiency, communicate with metal life, mechanical affinity]

[Metal Flower Spirit can read characteristics from the absorbed mechanical center. The number of characteristics that can be read is the same as the level. 】

[After reading, it can be replaced up to 1 time. 】

……

"Not bad!"

After checking it, Lu Cheng was very happy.

After completing its second evolution, the attributes of the Metal Flower Spirit have improved a lot!
The blood volume alone has increased by another 20,000 points.

His blood limit of 68,000 was almost half of it.

In addition, the original functions have been greatly improved.

Now, the blessing of the metal flower spirit can give him 300 points of all attributes.

Based on his current bonus coefficient for job transfer, 300 points of constitution is the upper limit of blood of . The increase is quite terrifying!
As for several other functions.

Although there is no numerical value, judging from the increase in blessing function, the improvement must be quite big.

It seems like the Metal Flower Spirit is growing quite fast!

Moreover, the improvement of these original functions is only the second step.

For him, these two new features are the most useful!
The bonus of the mimic armor can be said to be quite good.

As a mage, the cooldown reduction attribute is definitely not too much.

In particular, he has endless talents to draw from, and skill cooldown is more important than spell attack power.

Although the bonus is only 5% now, it can continue to increase!
"I don't know, what is the upper limit of this cooldown reduction bonus?"

If the bonus is high enough, it will be comfortable.

The increase in combat power brought to him by the reduction of cooldown is the most intuitive.

Now, the cooldown of his fireballs is a little over 2 seconds, and he can fire up to thirty fireballs per minute.

If the cooldown can be reduced to one second, the number of fireballs fired can be doubled!

and……

The faster the skill cools down, the faster he stacks up his passive!

Lu Cheng felt satisfied and glanced at the third characteristic.

The level of the metal flower spirit is the same as that of the settlement hub, which means that as the settlement gradually upgrades, the metal flower spirit will continue to unlock new feature columns!

Looking at this item, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be happy.

From this point of view, Metal Flower Spirit has a lot of room for growth!
Then, he started thinking.

In the previous life, the highest level human city was Level 18. There was only one city, which was built in the th year of the disaster.

Level seven is not the upper limit for a city, but it is the upper limit for resources. The upgrade resources for an eighth-level city are too scarce, and they were not able to collect them until the Tongue Puller Civilization came.

But right now, Settlement No. 1024 has not yet been upgraded to a city, so it is too early to consider this.

As his combat power gradually increases, the upgrade resources he obtains alone are enough to upgrade the city to level four or even level five.

By then, Metal Flower Spirit will have five characteristic slots, which is stronger than many BOSS!

Thinking in his heart, Lu Cheng felt very comfortable.

On his shoulder, the metal flower spirit gradually regained consciousness.

"Master, I'm fine! Didn't you delay anything?"

The metal flower spirit spoke, with a hint of nervousness in his joy, fearing that evolution would slow down the progress.

"No delay."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "There happens to be a place that needs you now."

As he spoke, he pointed around and said, "Let's see if we can extract information from these mechanical wreckage."
