Chapter 188: Gnome Mineral Company

Ding!

“You have entered the neutral map—[Gnome Mountain Range]!”

But when Lorne regained his vision, he found himself in a mountain range covered in rocky hills.

From the map, this place belonged to the west of Iron Skull City. It was about the same distance as the Lake of Death. If he wanted to travel on foot, it would take at least three to five days.

Lorne changed the map of Iron Skull City to the Gnome Mountain Range, so that he could roughly understand the situation in this area.

From the regional map, it could be seen that there was a main city mark on it. It was a city built by the gnomes, and it was also Lorne’s goal this time.

“It seems that there are not many people in this Gnome Tribe.”

Lorne checked the range of the Gnome City and found that it was only the size of a small town. It was countless times larger than Iron Skull City and was only a third the size of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

As for the distance between it and Lorne, it would take a few hours.

Without thinking, he set off.

On the way, Lorne moved quickly, almost several times faster than ordinary players.

This was all thanks to the high agility attribute that gave him high movement speed. There was a 30% increase in speed given by the divine equipment, and his bloodline provided a 20% increase in speed. Coupled with the addition of entering stealth mode and+30% movement speed, he had a consistent buff of extra 80% in movement speed.

In addition, the effect of invisibility was very good. As long as the level of the monster was not above Level 50, it was basically impossible to detect him.

The only drawback was that it required MP.

Fortunately, Lorne could summon Rimuru. Its skill could recover MP and was very efficient.

“We’re finally here.”

After traveling through the mountain range for two hours, Lorne finally arrived at a plain. It was the only plain in the mountain range, suitable for building a city.

To Lorne’s shock, it was the appearance of the building.

He thought that as a race that liked ores, the gnomes would definitely build a main city filled with rocks.

But only then did he realize that he was wrong.

The city of the gnomes was not a simple rock city, but a very exquisite “modern city” with metal pipes everywhere!

Lorne almost thought that he had returned to the real world. This mechanical smell that belonged to the steampunk style was too unique in this world.

While he was stunned, an old gnome walked past the city gate. When he noticed the human adventurer, he immediately walked over and sized him up.

“Strange, such a weak human adventurer actually has such a thick aura of light on him. It shouldn’t be…”

The old gnome frowned, lowered his head, and pondered. Then, he looked at Lorne again, “Young human adventurer, why have you come to the Gnome Mineral Company?”

What?

Company?

Lorne almost could not react to the term.

As a sword and magic game world, the sudden appearance of steampunk mechanical equipment and the modern term ‘company’ was a little shocking to the players’ memory.

“I came to buy items. I heard that the gnomes have many special mechanical products.”

Lorne did not directly explain his intentions. The gnomes did not have a high affinity with Iron Skull City. If not for the pressure from the Dark Abyss, they would not have formed an alliance with Iron Skull City.

“You’re here to buy products?”

The old gnome seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world. Such a person who was not even at the Earth Realm actually dared to say that he came to the gnomes to buy products. It was really interesting.

Although the old gnome really looked down on the adventurer in front of him, he did not hesitate after noticing the light aura on him. Instead, he politely invited Lorne into this steel city.

It could be seen that this city indeed had very excellent mechanical technology. Metal pipes and mechanical equipment could be seen everywhere.

However, unlike energy in reality, the machines in this world used magic energy.

This was also the most intelligent aspect of the gnomes. They used magic scrolls to inscribe magic circles in mechanical equipment, so that Energy Crystals could provide the corresponding energy for these industrial equipment.

It was unbelievable.

Lorne was very interested in these things, his eyes focused on the steel beasts.

Seeing that the product he created was appreciated, the old gnome’s opinion of Lorne changed greatly.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining the affinity of the NPC Tully. Affinity+100!”

Excellent, he obtained affinity the moment they met. It seemed that it was not so difficult to communicate with the gnomes.

Lorne immediately looked at the other party and said, “Senior, I have an important order that I need to discuss with the ones in charge of your company. Can you help me notify them?”

“Mr. Tyrant, I’m a high-level manager of the Gnome Mineral Company. I’m in charge of all the businesses in the Iron Skull City branch. You can tell me what product you want.”

The old gnome friendly led Lorne to the living room. The gnome assistant brought over the product information booklet of the Gnome Company immediately.

When he took the letter, Lorne realized that there was an additional option on his interface—[Beginner Gnome Shop].

After opening it, all the products of the Gnome Company appeared on the interface.

It could be seen that there were many basic materials and equipment on the list, but because it was a low-level shop, the equipment’s function was very ordinary, and the quality of the materials was also the most ordinary.

These things were clearly not part of Lorne’s plan.

However, from these ordinary products, it could be seen that the gnomes had deep control over machinery. The legendary ore mining robots were definitely not baseless.

But the only problem now was that to check higher-level shops, one had to have enough affinity and wealth to unlock them.

This was a huge problem, because Lorne did not have that much money on him for the time being.
