Laboratory, culture pool. Several black and white meat balls were rolling around inside. Evelyn, Wanda and Pietro were all melted by these meat balls. If there were no protective shield, the three would probably rush in to hug and play. "Teacher, can you let me raise one?" Evelyn hugged Richard's thigh and blinked her big eyes pitifully. "They are not cute pets, but beasts. If you want to raise them, you must have enough strength." Richard said with a smile. "Then teacher, how can we raise them?" The three little ones looked at Richard with expectation. "At least we have to learn Explosive Fireball." Richard said. Explosive Fireball is a five-ring spell, an advanced version of Fireball. If you want to learn it, you must be at least level 12. After hearing the request, the three were full of fighting spirit: "Teacher, we will definitely learn Explosive Fireball!" "Come on!" Richard encouraged. In addition to the cute iron-eating beast, there are a large number of beetles in another culture pool next to it. These beetles are gem beetles. After the incubation period, these gem beetles will enter the growth period. The food of gem beetles is various ores. They will devour various ores. Some of the various substances in the ores will be eaten by them, and some will be extracted by them and condensed on the shell. There are many types of gems condensed on the back of gem beetles, such as ordinary rubies, sapphires, diamonds, etc., among which the most valuable are magic gems.
Magic gems contain magic power, and their value is far beyond the ordinary gems. The types of gems condensed by gem beetles are affected by what they eat, and their taste preferences will affect the types and quality of gems. Gem beetles usually grow to the size of a basketball, and the size of the gems they produce ranges from pigeon eggs to chicken eggs. There are also a few gem beetles that can reach one meter in size, and the gems usually produced by gem beetles of this size are also top-quality. A small number of breeding gem beetles can be placed in the wizard tower and fed with various ores, but if you want to breed them on a large scale, it is better to find a mineral vein and let these gem beetles reproduce on the mineral vein. Gem beetles are magical creatures that need to live in areas where magic is relatively active. In this way, it is only necessary to build a rune array in the area where they reproduce. Richard plans to breed gem beetles on a large scale, so he naturally needs to find a large mineral vein. Fortunately, Amelica is rich in resources and has many mineral veins. He plans to find a mineral vein to release gem beetles. After spending some time, he easily found the approximate mineral vein map of Amelica. Richard selected a suitable mineral vein on the map, and then used teleportation to teleport several times. Teleportation usually requires spatial coordinates. If there are no spatial coordinates, then one's own mental power is required to calculate the coordinate points. This method requires clear data on the coordinate points, otherwise once there is a problem with the coordinates, it will be directly teleported to the mountain or under the earth, and then you can have a feast. Therefore, senior mages basically turn on protective spells when teleporting, in order to prevent this situation. A flash of teleportation flashed, and Richard appeared in a forest. The system quickly scanned the surrounding environment and easily found many mineral veins around. While discovering the mineral vein, Richard also found a mining cave not far from the mine. Obviously, this mine is owned by someone. But this did not affect Richard's coming here to take some minerals. How can the Great Archmage's business be called stealing? This is a major event for maintaining world peace and the safety of Blue Star! You are contributing to the safety of all mankind, and you should feel honored. "System, scan the surrounding area and mark the mineral vein information." "Establishing a task. Start scanning." An invisible force quickly swept across the woods, mountains, and rocks with Richard as the center, and then quickly returned. "Establishing a real-time image model." Soon, a holographic image screen appeared in front of Richard's eyes. A large amount of data was marked on the screen, and the most important mineral vein information was also listed one by one. In addition to this information, it also marked the earth vein energy. "Find the most suitable area for building a habitat for gem beetles." "Calculating. The best area has been marked." "The design drawings for the gem beetle habitat have been completed."
As the system sounded, a large number of drawings appeared in front of him, with all kinds of information marked on them. Seeing that the drawings were completed, Richard immediately began to build a habitat for gem beetles here. For Bai Qi, the arcanist, building a habitat is not very difficult. With the two magics of [Fossil to Mud] and [Mud to Stone] in hand, construction is as simple as stacking blocks. The basic spell range of [Fossil to Mud] is ten cubic meters, and then one spell level can be increased, and the spell effect is doubled. According to Richard's current spell level, it can affect 190 cubic meters at a time. Richard came to the designated location and began to cast spells according to the design drawings. As the spell aura flashed, the rocks in an area on the ground softened instantly. Then Richard waved his hand to collect the mud into the half plane, and a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide passage appeared in front of him. Soon, Richard came to the end of the passage, cast a spell once again, and then collected the soil. Soon a passage that went five hundred meters deep underground was completed. This area is also the area with the richest mineral veins. Richard then began to expand around. After a while, a hall appeared in front of him. Then Richard began to lay the rune array according to the design drawing to connect the surrounding earth vein energy. Transform this place into an element active area. At the same time, in order to prevent collapse, Richard set up some stone pillars around and cast hardening on these stone pillars. It took a day to build the rune array and connect the surrounding earth vein energy. With the activation of the array, the surrounding earth vein energy immediately gathered here, and soon the concentration of elemental energy around increased several times. Richard released the gem beetles that had already hatched. After a short period of adaptation to the environment, these gem beetles quickly climbed onto the nearby mineral veins and began to eat the ore. Seeing that these gem beetles were living well, Richard nodded with satisfaction, and then released the remaining gem beetles. The reproduction speed of gem beetles is very fast. Their growth cycle is from three months to six months. When mature, gem beetles will produce hundreds of eggs at a time. It only takes a few months for thousands of gem beetles to reproduce here. After completing the construction of the habitat, Richard closed the passage he dug and set up a teleportation array here. From today on, this place became the first resource point outside Richard's wizard tower - the gem cave.
