Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 3726: Deconstruction

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Charlene asked, "How is it?"

"Mm," Fang Heng murmured, thinking for a moment before saying, "Constructing an altar isn’t difficult. It would be better to build the altar on the spot and take control of the Pure Black Orb first."

Charlene looked up at Fang Heng, her expression somewhat confused. "An altar? What altar are you talking about?"

"Hm? You didn’t receive a related mission?"

"No. You triggered a mission?"

"I did," Fang Heng replied.

He briefly explained the mission content.

After listening, Charlene asked, "So you’ve previously controlled other orbs through similar missions?"

"That’s right."

Charlene stared at Fang Heng, her tone turning odd. "Fang Heng, since I joined Black Castle, I’ve been here no fewer than hundreds of times, and I’ve never received any prompt about an altar mission. None of the previous Black Castle lords ever mentioned such a mission either, so they likely never received it either."

"I think..."

Charlene paused for a moment before continuing, "It might be that the Pure Black Orb has chosen you."

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

"Maybe."

He felt it was more likely because he had already completed the preliminary external cycles of the Hell, Undead, and Holy Realm worlds, which triggered the Pure Black Orb mission.

And the illusion he saw of the Pure Black Orb was probably guidance left by Ymir.

"Let me be responsible for building the altar. I’ll have people prepare the materials and send the supplies over."

Fang Heng changed the topic. "Of course, apart from the altar, the urgent priority is to quickly establish a shielding magic array to prevent the Pure Black Orb from being discovered by the God Clan."

"Mm." Charlene nodded and continued, "Right now, we’ve already obtained rubbings of the ancient magic array. The three alchemy masters are leading the research team back at the Black Castle camp, analyzing the ancient alchemy magic array blueprints, hoping they can find something."

Those three people...

Fang Heng recalled the three alchemy scholars he had met in the sea abyss and immediately felt the situation was not promising.

They might manage ordinary alchemy magic arrays, but for something of this level of ancient magic array, they probably wouldn’t make any progress.

Charlene also knew they were not truly capable of handling this responsibility, and she quietly sighed inwardly. "Actually, while you were in seclusion, I already tried to study the blueprints with those three alchemy scholars, and it was still extremely difficult to find a starting point. We are also trying to contact a few god-level alchemy scholars and invite them to analyze the blueprints, hoping they can help."

"Forget it. I’ll do it."

Fang Heng shrugged.

Trying to contact alchemy scholars now, then sending the blueprints over and waiting for analysis would take too much time.

It seemed he would have to rely on himself.

"Let’s go back and take a look at their research progress."

...

Fang Heng and Charlene returned along the same route.

After passing through the Black Crystal Forest, they could already see the Black Castle camp from afar, where things were noisy and chaotic, with a group of people gathered outside the stronghold.

Good grief, so lively?

Fana saw Charlene and the others returning and immediately sighed in relief, quickly walking over.

"Charlene, you’re finally back."

Charlene looked at the group of alchemy scholars gathered in the open space and frowned slightly. "How’s the situation?"

Fana looked troubled and shook her head. "Not good. They’ve already started arguing. Those old men have really bad tempers, and we can’t even calm them down."

Because the copied magic array blueprints were too large to spread inside the research room, they had been temporarily laid out in the open space outside the stronghold.

More than fifty alchemy scholars invited by Black Castle were gathered around the magic array blueprints, arguing nonstop. They had completely lost their usual masterly demeanor, faces flushed red and spittle flying everywhere, making the scene more chaotic than a marketplace.

Seeing Charlene and Fang Heng approach, one of the alchemy scholars suddenly raised his head.

"Mr. Fang Heng! Lady Charlene!"

Instantly, the noisy open space fell silent.

Charlene looked at one of the elders in the crowd. "Senior Chen, how is the situation?"

An alchemy scholar with white hair stepped forward, scratching his hair awkwardly. "Lady Charlene, to be honest, our disagreements are very large. It’s unlikely we can complete even the basic module division in a short time."

"The structure of this magic array is far beyond our cognitive range. Many rune logic connections are completely different from modern alchemy. We tried starting from the outer layer and reverse-engineering it, but every branch leads to even more unknown nodes."

"We’ve already contacted several mentors and colleagues, but transmission takes time, and whether they can come is uncertain. Even if they do, with this level of ancient magic array... and only ten days, I’m not confident at all."

Charlene inwardly confirmed her expectations and turned back toward Fang Heng.

Fang Heng stepped forward and said, "Why don’t I take a look?"

The alchemy scholars all turned their attention to him.

Who is this kid?

The three demigod-level alchemy scholars who had previously accompanied Fang Heng to the sea abyss immediately fell silent and consciously stepped aside.

Hmm?

Seeing the three masters step aside, everyone became even more curious.

What kind of background did this guy have to make even them yield?

Fang Heng walked forward, quickly scanning the spread-out blueprint. His right Eye of God slowly manifested.

[Hint: The player is currently deconstructing an ancient alchemy magic array...]

[Hint: The player’s God-level alchemy proficiency increases structural analysis speed by 200%... The player’s Eye of God increases deconstruction speed by 1000%... alchemy inheritance increases deconstruction speed by 500%...]

A progress bar appeared in front of him and quickly filled.

Moments later, the bar finished.

Fang Heng closed his eyes briefly in thought, then opened them again.

"Put the blueprints away first," he said.

Hm?

The surrounding alchemy scholars froze.

Put them away?

Why?

Charlene signaled to two Black Castle members.

They immediately stepped forward and quickly collected the papers spread on the ground.

Fang Heng then formed a hand seal in front of him. His Eye of God rotated again.

"Chi chi chi..."

Marks began appearing on the originally flat ground.

"Huh?!"

"That’s... alchemy magic array engraving?"

Several alchemy scholars exclaimed in shock.

Such strong spiritual control ability, to directly inscribe such a large magic array...

The ground markings rapidly connected, forming rune structures of a magic array.

Fang Heng’s construction speed was extremely fast, and in moments, a large magic array framework had taken shape on the ground.

The alchemy scholars stared at the emerging patterns, growing increasingly silent.

"This is... a modified array?"

An elder finally couldn’t help but speak.

The patterns Fang Heng drew belonged to the scope of modern alchemy, including rune logic, node connections, and energy pathways, all within the modern alchemy system.
