Chapter 177: Industrial System
The Flood Dragon’s original strength was only on par with the Snow Spirit Fox. Now that the Spirit Fox had been strengthened, it was naturally no match for it.
It was easily knocked to the ground.
It had an unwilling expression on its face. Its entire body had been sealed by the Snow Spirit Fox, leaving only its head outside.
Because Mcgee had something to ask the Flood Dragon.
“Since you are the guardian of the treasure chest and I have opened it, why haven’t you disappeared?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Are you planning to destroy my home?”
“I only know that if I can guard the treasure chest for two months, the high-grade water spirit pearl inside will belong to me… at that time, I will be able to become a true Dragon.”
The Flood Dragon knew that it was about to die, and its words were kind.
These words corresponded with what the Snow Spirit Fox had said before. The Flood Dragon still needed to go through a calamity before it could transform into a Dragon.
It was just that its current appearance was too ugly.
Having already obtained the golden treasure chest, Mcgee had two choices.
The first was to kill the Flood Dragon. Although he could not see the attributes of the Flood Dragon’s blood and flesh, there were definitely benefits.
The scales on its body were undoubtedly excellent tools for forging armor.
The other option was that it was actually a familiar that could be communicated with. If it could be obedient and help it protect the island, it must have extremely strong combat strength.
As for whether to kill it or take it as a familiar, Mcgee seemed to be a little hesitant.
At this time, the Little Spirit Fox stood out and wagged its three tails.
It seemed that it also knew that it would take a very long time for it to reach this level through cultivation. It could not bear to see it disappear just like that.
So, Mcgee said, “Flood Dragon, since it’s not easy for you to reach this level of cultivation, I can let you live. But are you willing to become my familiar and help me protect my home?”
The Flood Dragon thought for a moment and agreed to Mcgee’s request.
The reason why Mcgee did this was that after he discovered the treasure chest, the guardian of the treasure chest did not immediately disappear.
This proved that the guardian of the treasure chest was actually a part of the treasure chest.
From the battle just now, the Flood Dragon’s strength was actually about the same as the Snow Spirit Fox’s.
Although he had many powerful subdued beasts, the value of having a powerful wind-type pet summon during the upcoming snow and ice season would bring him.
The Wyrm Dragon immediately signed an agreement with Mcgee. He was a very realistic guy.
If he died here now, he would have nothing left.
Although it was not his original intention to follow Mcgee, it was still better than waiting for the money to come directly from his death.
The two pirates watched with their eyes wide open. They did not expect that Mcgee not only did not lose anything but also obtained a Flood Dragon as his familiar.
Moreover, they knew that Mcgee must have obtained an incredible treasure from the treasure chest. Otherwise, the Snow Spirit Fox would not suddenly become so powerful that the Flood Dragon could not defeat it.
“After signing the contract with the Flood Dragon, Mcgee didn’t immediately search for the next treasure chest.”
However, there was a message from the world channel.
[Congratulations to Mcgee for completing the Dragon Rider.]
The t.i.tle of Dragon Rider was to control a dragon-type familiar. Although the Flood Dragon was not a real Dragon yet, it still had half a Dragon bloodline.
The world channel was once again in an uproar.
[Oh my G.o.d, big brother Mcgee, you’re really amazing.]
[You can actually control a Dragon.]
[Could it be that a Dragon system familiar can be opened from a treasure chest?]
[You make me want to open a treasure chest, but the guardian beast of the treasure chest is too strong. It’s not a match for you at all.]
Because mcgee had subdued a Flood Dragon as his familiar, he had no way of uploading Flood Dragon meat and Flood Dragon blood materials into the world channel.
Although he could not kill the Flood Dragon, as his familiar, it was still possible to take two scales from its body and give them to Zhao Ling Er to make armor suitable for him.
The Flood Dragon was quite straightforward. He shed two of his scales.
He calmly said, “I shed my skin every six months. There will be a large number of scales. You can use them.”
Mcgee did not expect that there would be such a benefit.
Fortunately, he did not kill the Flood Dragon immediately. Otherwise, he would not be able to get the endless supply of materials for the Flood Dragon’s scales.
The Greed Treasure Chest was shaking again. Without a doubt, it seemed as if a new treasure chest had appeared in front of him when he switched it.
“Let’s pause for a while.” Mcgee had already exhausted himself from the battle just now. Moreover, he also wanted to know what the purpose of this power plant was.
Before he transmigrated to this world, he was a citizen of a civilized world.
There was no other way in this world. Using electrical appliances was indeed a troublesome matter.
Although some familiars could provide an endless supply of electricity, that was, after all, a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
The only thing that could truly make people live a good life was industrialization.
And the starting point of industrialization was the emergence of electricity.
Returning to his home, he took out the building blueprints.
[Level one hydropower plant.]
[Description: It needs to be built near a river.]
[Function: Provide basic electricity.]
[Unlock the next level of the building that needs electricity.]
There had always been a river in Mcgee’s home, but it was usually used to raise fish.
Now that the hydropower plant was going to be built, it would probably affect the ecology inside.
However, in the face of the temptation of industrialization, Mcgee did not hesitate at all.
He went to the river and picked up the blueprint.
The system’s voice asked in his mind, [Do you want to build a level one hydropower station now?]
“Yes.”
As Mcgee’s voice fell, a dam appeared, and water continuously flowed out from the cracks of the dam.
And a small stone house appeared on the sh.o.r.e
“Now your castle can use the lighting function.”
The system’s voice replied faintly.
[Level 1 energy stone factory unlocked.]
[Computer room unlocked.]
[Unlocked recharging equipment, automatically filling the system’s energy every day.]
[Unlocked electromagnetic cannon.]
[As the first player to enter the industrial era, gifted a home air conditioning system.]
A bunch of things rang in Mcgee’s mind.
He did not expect a golden treasure chest to completely change the ecology of his home, from primitive society to modern society.
This also made Mcgee curious. It was only an island of a level four home.
If it continued to develop, it would soon reach the civilization of the human society before he transmigrated.
Then immortality and future technology would be just around the corner.
After possessing powerful skills, Mcgee began to think about his position in the world.
Without a doubt, he was the biggest winner in this transmigration survival show.
But he did not know what to do next.
Even if he could live comfortably in his castle without a strong beast protection system, when the school month arrived, he would pull all the familiars who were fined in their homes to be smart.
At that time, all of his efforts would be in vain.
Moreover, as the season approached its end, he also felt that the difficulties were rising in a straight line.
This was because he had known in advance that the third season would use the cold season.
Currently, the number of players who could eat their fill could be counted on one hand. When the cold season arrived, people not only needed to grow food that could be produced in harsh environments but also needed to provide sufficient heating facilities for themselves.
That was a very difficult thing to do.
The number of plants that could grow in the cold environment could be counted on one hand.
However, there were quite a few animals.
One could refer to the ecology of Antarctica.
However, in order to maintain a warm climate in a bank environment, electricity was the best choice.
“Zhao Ling Er, can your dwarves build electrical equipment?”
Mcgee knew that there were several best ways to deal with the cold.
The people of the world channel were purchasing coal mines at a high price, which was undoubtedly a G.o.dly tool to survive the cold.
However, if Mcgee could produce equipment and buildings such as air conditioners, electric blankets, and greenhouses, he would definitely be able to make a fortune.
