Chapter 280 Upgrading the Floating Workshop
"She didn't do it willingly," Li Ang said calmly, yet with an undeniable force. "That's why I must bring her back."
Harris, who had been listening in silence, frowned and couldn't help but speak up: "Wizard Leon, I have no intention of questioning your decision. But you should know what Mount Athos means."
Even without deliberate training, adult dragons possess physical strength naturally comparable to the destructive power of a fourth-level wizard. Those like Professor Diana, who also practice magic, will only be able to advance to the fifth level in the blink of an eye. And the number of adult dragons on the Holy Mountain is in the hundreds. A thousand years ago, the Wizarding Alliance was able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Holy Mountain thanks to the deterrent power of several legendary wizards. Now, all the legends within the alliance have perished, and our Gorman faction leader has also passed away—how will you, as a second-level wizard, bring Olivia back from there?”
Harris's concerns were valid, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy again.
Li Ang met Harris's gaze, his expression unchanged: "I know this is difficult, even seemingly like throwing an egg against a rock. But I'm her captain, and I can't stand idly by while she's in trouble. Besides..."
He paused slightly, then added, "I am not without a chance of winning. I am now a third-level wizard and possess the Blessed Ring."
Harris saw that he was determined and knew that further persuasion would be useless, so he sighed and said nothing more.
At that moment, Helena and Ludick stood up almost simultaneously.
"Captain, we'll go with you!" Helena said firmly.
"Yes!" Ludick clenched his fist. "Olivia is also an important comrade of ours. Since she didn't leave willingly, we must do our part!"
Seeing the burning fighting spirit in their eyes, Li Ang was moved. He didn't refuse, but nodded solemnly: "Okay. Then let's go together."
After chatting for a while and confirming the general direction for the next step, everyone took their leave one after another. Before leaving, Celia took a deep look at Li Ang, as if she wanted to confirm his fate one last time, but in the end she just shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Be careful yourself," before leaving the room.
After everyone left, the dormitory returned to silence. Nelson and Rodney had obediently cleaned up the teacups and were standing quietly to the side, waiting for instructions.
"You've both suffered a lot lately, get some rest," Li Ang said gently to the brother and sister.
"Yes, sir," Nelson replied respectfully, leading his sister quietly out of the living room and back to their own little room.
Li Ang had no intention of resting; he walked alone toward his floating workshop.
The Leli Tower still stood majestically in the night, with lights twinkling like stars embedded in the giant tower. Li Ang arrived at the open space where the workshop was located, and the familiar little house was still waiting for its owner to return.
Li Ang entered the workshop and went directly to the central floating core control panel. He calmed his mind and focused his consciousness on the floating core.
【upgrade】
The immense spiritual power drew forth the power of inheritance, which surged forth and poured into the azure core. The energy pathways within the core were widened, and its stability and output power continued to climb at an astonishing rate.
LV30LV40-LV50!
Once the upgrade was complete, the floating core was completely transformed, with its diameter slightly increased. At this moment, the surface of the core flowed with a vibrant blue luster, and the energy fluctuations contained within it were several times stronger than before.
[Floating Core LV50]
[Current Function: Can maintain the levitation of structures within a 50-meter radius connected to the core, with a total weight not exceeding 25,000 kg. Maximum levitation height cannot exceed 7,500 meters. Maximum movement speed: 250 km/h.]
Its performance has improved fivefold compared to the original! The maximum speed has reached 250 kilometers per hour. Although it is still not comparable to the large transport planes in Li Ang's previous life, in this era, it is undoubtedly an amazing maneuverability.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ang turned his gaze to the two silent [Six-Armed Guardian Puppets] in the workshop.
【upgrade】.
The puppet's metal shell emitted a deep hum, and light flowed at its joints. The internal power core, sensing system, weapon modules, and protective force field—all subsystems—were undergoing a leap in enhancement under the influence of the inherited power.
Their bodies became more streamlined and sleek, with fine defensive runes appearing on their dark metallic surfaces.
[Six-Armed Guardian Puppet LV50]
With the upgrade complete, Li Ang immediately issued instructions to the two puppets: "Use all the special lightweight stone materials stored in the workshop. Based on this floating workshop, redesign and rebuild the main structure of the workshop. Requirements: a two-story building with added defensive walls; the overall style must be both practical and intimidating; the interior space must be rationally planned, reserving functional areas such as a meditation room, storage area, and living area."
The puppets' eyes suddenly lit up, and they stretched out multiple arms, beginning to scan the existing workshop structure, calculate material usage, and generate 3D design drawings in the computing center with extremely high efficiency.
Just a few minutes later, the new design appeared in Li Ang's mind through the mental connection. It was a two-story stone building with smooth lines and a solid structure, surrounded by a wall of the same material, forming a small courtyard. The overall style was simple yet imposing, and the area was several times larger than the original.
"Approved. Begin construction." Li Ang gave the final order.
The next moment, the two LV50 puppets displayed terrifying engineering capabilities. Their arms became afterimages, precisely and efficiently dismantling old structures, transporting materials, cutting stones, and building walls.
The loud noise inevitably echoed through the night sky. Soon, a figure emerged from a small house outside the tower; it was the tower keeper on duty that night.
But when he saw Li Ang standing in the open space, along with the two puppets that were busily under construction and emanating energy fluctuations that made his heart tremble, the wariness on his face turned into flattery.
He walked over and bowed respectfully to Li Ang: "Lord Li Ang, are you renovating the workshop?"
Li Ang nodded: "Sorry, I made a bit too much noise and disturbed you."
"No, no!" The tower keeper quickly waved his hand. "Sir, please go about your business. The tower rules allow wizards to modify their own workshops as they see fit, as long as it doesn't compromise safety. If you need any assistance, please feel free to ask."
He bowed again, then turned and left, no longer disturbing him. Clearly, with Li Ang's current strength, he had already gained a new status and—tolerance—within the tower.
Construction continued, the special lightweight stone was rapidly consumed, new walls rose from the ground, floor slabs were laid, and the roof structure was built—when half the night had passed, the workshop's stone reserves were completely exhausted.
What appeared before Li Ang was a brand new building.
