Chapter 153 Huge Energy Gap, Abandoned Element Pool

After a thorough search and finding nothing valuable, Sunan went straight to the next floor.

The third floor is an area divided into multiple halls, which are mainly various leisure and entertainment venues.

"The leisure area?"

There is usually nothing to be gained in this kind of area. After a quick search, Sunan went straight to the next floor.

Starting from the third floor, there are the training area (including the meditation room and spell training room), the workshop area (including the magic item workshop and puppet factory), the experimental area, and the warehouse area.
The workshop area is filled with hundreds of clay and stone golems.

However, it looks like it hasn't been started for a long time, probably due to lack of energy.

The experimental area was also empty, with no valuable items such as lab notes.

The same is true for the warehouse district.

"The layout of this place is similar to my base. With a little modification, it can be used as Base No. 3."

Su Nan nodded secretly and continued to explore upwards.

It wasn't until the twelfth floor that the situation finally changed.

The twelfth floor looks like an extremely spacious laboratory with a large number of workbenches. The difference is that there is a special area with dozens of huge transparent glass jars.

Each glass jar was filled with green or blue liquid, and inside were strange-looking creatures, including sub-dragon species and other types of creatures. Sunan even saw organs such as limbs and heads that were suspected to be pure-blooded dragons.

Surprised, he opened one of the glass jars and took out a dragon head, but was greatly disappointed after careful inspection.

Perhaps because of improper storage for a long time, the essence in the dragon head has been lost and turned into worthless waste.

Sunan reluctantly opened the glass jars one by one to check, but the results were the same.

"That's right. After all, thousands of years have passed. Even if the preservation function of these facilities is very powerful, it is impossible for these biological organs to last that long."

With a sigh, Sunan gathered his thoughts and continued to move to the next floor.

The thirteenth and fourteenth floors are identical, with a large number of workbenches and glass jars.

Apparently, like the twelfth floor, it was a renovation area.

The organisms and organs in the glass jars have long since lost their usefulness.

"It seems that the builders of the ecological park attach great importance to biological transformation."

Sunan was thoughtful.

When he was in Area 1 of the Ecological Park before, he had seen many sub-dragon species that he had never seen before.

At that time he thought it was his own problem. After all, there were so many species of sub-dragons that it was impossible for anyone to recognize them all. It was normal to occasionally see ones he didn't recognize, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Those unfamiliar sub-dragon species are most likely not existing races, but new sub-dragon species bred by the transformation of this ecological park.

After visiting the first fourteen floors, only the last floor is left.

Su Nan already had a guess in his mind, he took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation array.

After a flash, he arrived at a wide platform.

The entire platform is made of white stone, and the surface is carved with dense patterns, giving it a mysterious beauty.

"White marble!" Su Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.

White marble is a fine-grained marble with white color and hard texture. It is a superior building and sculpture material.

When building a wizard tower, many wizards will choose white marble as the main material.

Looking around the platform, one can see a vast starry sky dotted with countless stars and the dazzling Milky Way across it, which makes one feel as if they are very small.

After admiring it for a moment, Sunan withdrew his gaze and looked towards the deepest part of the platform.

There is a square pool that is ten meters long and ten meters wide. It is paved with white marble and covered with a layer of silver coating on the surface. The coating is densely packed with patterns, and it turns out to be an extra-large energy-gathering array engraved on it.

"Elemental pool!"

Sunan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this ecological park also had an element pool.

Although it looks small in area and cannot even be considered a small element pool, it can only be considered a micro element pool at best, but it is also very good.

After all, the elemental pool is a standard energy supply system for the wizard tower.

"It seems that the small amount of energy needed to maintain the operation of the ecological park's energy circulation system is provided by this element pool."

The operating principle of the element pool is to open a channel from the elemental plane, extract elemental energy from the elemental plane, and continuously provide unlimited and stable energy.

It is a high-level energy supply device, which is far more efficient than setting up magic energy transmission pipelines on the earth vein nodes.

Many large facilities use element pools as energy supplies, the most common of which is the wizard tower.

A small elemental pool is enough to maintain the basic needs of a wizard tower.

However, building an elemental pool requires a large amount of gems, special metals and various rare materials, which is extremely expensive and requires certain skills in [Magic Item Manufacturing].

Even among official wizards, not everyone can afford to build an elemental pool.

Thousands of years ago, when the density of energy particles in the Starlight Continent decreased, some wizards thought of borrowing the method of building element pools, opening elemental plane channels, and introducing elemental energy to increase the density of energy particles, but they failed in the end.

With fewer channels, the elemental energy introduced from the elemental plane cannot keep up with the speed of energy loss.

The increase in the number of channels is equivalent to chiseling countless holes in the plane barrier of the Starlight Continent, which greatly reduces the isolation and protection functions of the plane barrier. A large number of alien creatures pass through the plane barrier and enter the Starlight Continent, causing many disasters.

There were even many elemental gods who took the opportunity to extend their tentacles into the Starlight Continent.

Eventually, the wizards had to give up this idea that did more harm than good and was a temporary solution.

"It's a pity that the elemental pool has been abandoned."

After checking it out, Sunan came to a conclusion.

Come to think of it, if the element pool could still function, the ecological park would not have fallen into the dilemma of energy shortage.

"If we can repair this elemental pool and activate it, the ecological park's energy supply will be secured."

Su Nan showed joy on his face.

Although repairing the element pool is not an easy task, it is still easier than building one from scratch, so he is still somewhat confident.

Coming back to his senses from his joy, Sunan looked at the crystal ball next to the element pool.

The crystal ball is round and purple-blue in color, with a radius of about half a meter. It is suspended in the air about sixty to seventy centimeters above the ground, glowing slightly.

According to his experience, if nothing unexpected happens, this crystal ball is most likely the control hub of the ecological park.

Coming to the crystal ball, Su Nan thought for a while, took out the key and placed it on the surface of the crystal ball.

"The startup source is detected and the management system is officially started."

"Scan the user status. If it meets the criteria, do you want to log in?"

"Log in." Sunan said without hesitation.

"Logged in."

"The administrator ranks are currently empty, and the login level has been raised to the highest level."

"Welcome to Longlin Ecological Park, Master, Butler No. 1 is at your service."

Housekeeper?
Su Nan's eyes flickered slightly.

When he heard the sound coming from the Dragon Skeleton Tower before, he guessed whether there was an intelligent auxiliary life form similar to the tower spirit in the ecological park. Now it seems that his guess was right.

However, the performance of this thing should be far inferior to that of the Tower Spirit. At most, it is only slightly more advanced than puppet life forms such as the Platinum Golem.

If it was a real tower spirit, even without the controller's orders for a thousand years, it would be able to choose the best way to run the eco-park and would not have turned the eco-park into its current state.

"No. 1, check the status of the ecological park." Sunan issued the first order. "Begin self-testing!"

"Scanning."

“Build a three-dimensional solid model.”

"Scan completed."

A faint light emerged, and countless rays of light overflowed from the crystal ball, interweaving above to outline a three-dimensional model, which was a 3D panoramic view of the ecological park that was reduced countless times.

There is also a lot of text next to it.

【Ecological Park: Longlin】

[Level: Large (Damage 69.34%)]

[Current remaining energy: 38.79%]

[Intelligent Assisted Life: Butler No. 1]

[Area: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3]

[Facilities (Dragon Skeleton Tower): Residential area, warehouse area, experimental area, training area, workshop area, transformation area control center, element pool (miniature)]

[Servants: Clay Golem × 182]

[Protective device: Large space barrier (damage degree 3.48%)]

[Battle Equipment: Golem Legion (Stone Golem x 145)]

"Less than 39% of the energy is left."

Sunan clicked on three areas one by one.

[Zone 1: Operating state, minimum energy required to maintain operation is 24.28%, optimal energy is 35.12%]

[Zone 2: Suspended state, minimum energy required to maintain operation 53.66%, optimal energy 73.41%]

[Zone 3: Operating state, minimum energy required to maintain operation 3.06%]

"Zone 2 will take up at least 50% of the energy!"

Sunan was secretly shocked. No wonder Area 2 was abandoned.

After all, this is an area for raising dragons, and the energy consumed is indeed astonishingly high.

"It seems that the first step is to restore the energy to above 81%."

The minimum energy required for the three areas adds up to more than 81%.

As long as the energy of the ecological park is restored above this limit, the ecological environment of Area 1 can be gradually restored while maintaining the operation of Area 2 and the Dragon Skeleton Tower.

After the ecological environment of Area 2 recovers, we will consider how to restore the number of dragons.

"Open the energy tank." Sunan gave the order.

With a click, the ground next to the crystal ball slowly opened up, and a hollow stone pillar stretched out from it.

Sunan took out all the magic stones in the space ring and threw them into the stone pillar.

A moment later, the data next to the three-dimensional model suddenly changed, and the remaining energy increased from 38.79% to 38.81%, an increase of 0.02%.

"Two hundred and thirty-five lower-level magic stones only increase the energy value by 0.02%!"

Sunan couldn't help but take a breath.

According to this calculation, in order to increase the energy to 81%, at least lower-level magic stones will be required!

The cost is about 900,000 gold coins!
Even if he didn't use any gold coins from now on and saved them all, it would take him four or five years to get enough.

This is because he can produce magic stones at a very low cost.

If any other wizard apprentice really used magic stones to increase their energy, they would never be able to restore the ecological environment of Area 2 in their lifetime.

This shows how much energy the ecological park consumes!
"81% of the energy requires so many magic stones. I don't know how many magic stones I need to invest to restore it to 100%. It seems that this method will not work. I still have to find a way to repair the element pool."

After thinking for a moment, Sunan came up with an idea in his mind and issued a new order.

"No. 1, how much energy does it take to repair the space barrier?"

The most urgent task is to fill the gap in the ecological park first, so as to prevent the sub-dragon species in Area 1 from escaping again and attracting more wizard apprentices or intelligent creatures of other races.

"6.23% energy consumption is required."

Sunan made a quick estimate and found that after repairing the space barrier, the remaining energy would be enough to meet the minimum energy requirements for the operation of Areas 1 and 3.

At worst, I can invest some more magic stones to increase the energy.

Thinking of this, Sunan immediately issued an order to repair the damage.

"Repairs have begun and are expected to take 18 hours, 35 minutes and 32 seconds."

Watching the three-dimensional model slowly disappear, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely happy.

Although no valuable treasures were found in the Dragon Skeleton Tower, the Dragon Forest itself was the biggest gain.

With Longlin as the foundation, he can definitely build a base with better functional facilities and greater security.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of sub-dragon species and countless rare magical plants in the Dragon Forest are also a huge wealth.

As long as the element pool is repaired, it is equivalent to having an inexhaustible treasure trove of materials.

Before being promoted to a wizard and building a wizard tower, Long Lin can completely serve as his own base and develop and expand his power on this basis.

"Once the element pool is repaired, we can move Base No. 1 in."

Longlin is a semi-dimensional space with no fixed location in the material world. As long as Su Nan, the controller, opens a channel in the material world, he can enter Longlin.

At the same time, outside the Dragon Skeleton Tower.

The traveler kept looking at the Dragon Skeleton Tower, with undisguised envy in his eyes.

As a wizard apprentice, he knew very well how great the benefits of acquiring a large ecological park would be.

Whether it is for improving personal strength or developing power, there are extremely obvious benefits.

But he also knew very well that this ecological park was not something he could think about.

On the one hand, he cannot beat the players, and on the other hand, even if he gets the ecological park, he does not have the capital to provide sufficient energy for it.

But players are different.

I heard from Night Owl that the player has vast resources at his disposal that far exceed those of an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice. Perhaps he has a way to solve the problem of insufficient energy in the ecological park.

"Look at the bright side. If Sunan can really solve the problem of the ecological park, I can buy dragon blood from him if I want it in the future."

The traveler pondered secretly.

At this moment, the door of the Dragon Skeleton Tower suddenly opened with a bang, and Su Nan walked out.

The traveler hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"How about it?"

"There are a lot of problems." Sunan shrugged and said, "But the gap in the ecological park is being repaired, and it won't be long before it is fully restored. What are you going to do next?"

The traveler was slightly startled.

What else can I do?
The ecological park is already your territory. Can I still stay here shamelessly?
But to his surprise, Sunan then extended an invitation.

"Are you interested in visiting me?"
