The Secret of the New World

Hearing the Mermaid's words, Gu Xi turned his head and glanced at the passage in front of him.

He decisively turned and followed the Mermaid.

The Seahorse Cavalry had no objection to Gu Xi's choice, and they quickly followed Gu Xi back to the vicinity of the cave they had just discovered.

At this point, everything in the cave had been completely emptied, not even a single blade of grass was left behind.

Every time Gu Xi saw this situation where everything was emptied out, he would nod in satisfaction.

He liked units like the Ghost Squad; every time a request was given, they could easily get everything done in a very short time.

Given the current situation, Gu Xi had no choice but to say something.

That's really well done.

At this moment, the Mermaid swam into the cave and pointed to a certain spot on the cave ceiling, speaking to Gu Xi.

"Sir, this is what we have discovered."

Gu Xi watched the Mermaid's movements from outside the cave, because his Water Dragon Beast was too big for him to enter.

Gu Xi himself had no intention of swimming in.

Faced with the Mermaid in the cave, Gu Xi thought for a moment, then raised his hand, and thirty Death Wizard appeared in the cave.

Death Wizard are different from Ghost; they cannot live freely underwater.

When they were submerged in water, their first thought was that they were about to die.

However, despite Gu Xi's suppression, they still managed to find something unusual about the Mermaid and transmit it to Gu Xi's eyes through the Mind's Eye.

Gu Xi quickly understood what the Mermaid had discovered.

There were many patterns on the top of the cave.

If it were just an ordinary mural, the Mermaid wouldn't have come to find Gu Xi at all.

The drawings on it are Building Blueprint for the Casting Factory, as well as a roadmap for the Casting Factory's upgrade and advancement.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Xi will discover that this is a complete set of Building Blueprint, starting directly from the Casting Factory, all the way to the Manufacturing Workshop, the Puppet Factory, and finally the Dragon Factory.

Gu Xi had only ever obtained the Spirit Tomb Aura from the Ghost's side—that complete set of Building Blueprint to Ghost.

Here, he unexpectedly found Building Blueprint for Casting Factory that started with the Stone Man.

Even disregarding the small and medium-sized auxiliary buildings, Gu Xi could already tell from the large building complex that there were at least four different advancement paths within it.

The route from Stone Man, Iron Golem, Golden Man to Diamond Man focuses on having extremely strong defense, and in the end, even Magic Resistance is enhanced.

The path from Stone Man, Iron Golem, Steel Golem to Magnetic Golem focuses on powerful attacks, and in the end, it can even fight many iron objects alone.

The progression from Stone Man, Tin Man, Bronze Man to Steam Machine Man focuses on enhancing strength, ultimately granting them the ability to fly and dive into the earth, possessing superhuman power.

Ultimately, there is still a path from Stone Man, Stone Puppet, Heavy Puppet, and finally Puppet Dragon. I won't go into the details, but Stone Puppet and Heavy Puppet are not very useful. However, Puppet Dragon is a being on par with Titans.

You could say that there might be some different branches in this whole process, but overall, the Stone Man's route is pretty much all here.

By simply copying down these Building Blueprint, Gu Xi could easily build a massive Foundry District in the Aryadovi City and mass-produce these Stone Man golems as advanced unit types.

Even if he doesn't use it himself, he would sell it, and I believe many people would be willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Regardless of what others said, Gu Xi believed that Fang Kang did not have as much control over the Stone Man as he did.

However, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.

How could a world with powerful units of level 8 or higher, such as Diamond Man, Magnetic Golem, and even Puppet Dragon, be captured by the Lower World?

However, this thought only flashed through Gu Xi's mind.

Soon, other different thoughts appeared in Gu Xi's mind.

This cave contains a complete set of Building Blueprint, but what about the other caves?

Gu Xi waved decisively to the Mermaid.

"Do the other caves also have similar patterns?"

The Mermaid thought for a moment, then shook her head. "They also have corresponding patterns, but none of them are Building Blueprint."

"Let's go take a look."

Gu Xi thought for a moment, and without any hesitation, gave the order to the Mermaid.

Upon hearing this, the Mermaid immediately led Gu Xi to another cave.

As for the Death Wizard left in this cave, they will disappear immediately after they die, and will not affect the success rate of Gu Xi's Death Sorcerer Summoning.

In the other caves, Gu Xi understood why the Mermaid hadn't brought Gu Xi there to take a look.

It turns out that everything here is a modification of the Stone Man.

This kind of modification is not a method that a normal person could come up with to improve the quality of the Stone Man, enhance Stone Man combat power, or research new Stone Man for its advancement.

Instead, they were thinking about how to make more Stone Man with the least amount of materials and energy, and the lower the level of the Stone Man and the simpler the quality, the better.

Even the stone that Gu Xi discovered earlier, made with just a little cement and steel bars plus a gemstone, is one of the things he researched.

This situation left Gu Xi somewhat dumbfounded.

He felt that he had discovered some secrets of the world.

To determine whether what he had discovered was true.

Gu Xi even moved back, returning to the original underground space in the shortest possible time.

After discovering the key clues to this world, Gu Xi was no longer in such a hurry to find the next underground space.

After returning to land, Gu Xi quickly summoned several architects, explained the Building Blueprint he had discovered, and raised some questions.

Because the Building Blueprint clearly show a normal orientation.

Under what circumstances should the Stone Man be made simpler and simpler?

An architect stepped forward to address this issue.

"Sir, you've actually done this before."

"I've done it?"

Gu Xi looked puzzled.

"Yes, I heard that when the Crimson Temple was built, because there was no armory, they used the Barracks' armory to build the building."

However, at that time, the quality of the Crimson Knight trained would be worse than that of normal Crimson Knight.

If the adult doesn't have an armory, then gradually some downgraded Crimson Knight will appear in the Crimson Temple.

Eventually, even Armorless Knight appeared.

Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.

"Do you think this world might be lacking something, which is why Training Camp for high-level troops can't be built, and in the end they can only be downgraded as you said?"
