62: If you need help, ask the big shots.

About ten minutes after Eric's call ended,

Brian received the material list Eric sent on his magic net.

He carefully examined the list, which contained a wide variety of materials.

Brian looked up a few of them on the magic net, and each of these materials was calculated using high-grade magic stones as the unit of measurement.

Brian thought to himself, 'It looks like I'll have to spend a lot this time!'

Immediately, he instructed Spirit Eye: "Spirit Eye, inquire about the prices of the materials on the list at those large trading houses on the magic net."

"If the prices are similar, then choose to purchase them from Phantom Moon Trading House!" Brian added.

"Okay, creator. Spirit Eye will go inquire about the prices now." Spirit Eye's clear voice rang in Brian's ears.

After Spirit Eye replied, Brian fell into deep thought.

He was thinking that it was about time for Spirit Eye to be upgraded.

'Hmm... Should I wait for Eric to come and consult him, or should I directly consult the big shot Phantom Moon?'

'There's also an excuse to consult the big shot Phantom Moon, and that's the city builder! I haven't shown this thing to her yet!'

Thinking of this, Brian also patted his head.

'That's right, the city builder was only used briefly for building my own city; it hasn't been promoted yet!'

'Well then, I can go find the big shot Phantom Moon, and while I'm at it, ask her about the situation after Level 4 and the upgrade materials for Spirit Eye. Maybe there will be a surprise!'

As soon as he thought of it, Brian immediately called Spirit Eye again:

"Spirit Eye, you can handle the matter of purchasing materials. Now, help me contact Her Excellency Phantom Moon."

"Okay, creator." Spirit Eye responded quickly.

Soon, a flash of light, and the image of Her Excellency Phantom Moon appeared before Brian.

Phantom Moon smiled and said, "Brian, long time no see. What brings you to me?"

Brian smiled and said, "Your Excellency Phantom Moon, I contacted you this time because I wanted to share something interesting with you. I've developed another magical creation - the city builder. After testing, its city-building efficiency is quite high."

Phantom Moon said with interest, "Oh? A city builder? Can you briefly explain its principle?"

Brian explained in detail:

"It mainly uses the three combined spells: Stone to Mud, Mud to Stone, and Stone to Gold. After being shaped by a magic template, it constructs the corresponding buildings."

"Of course, the strength of such buildings is not high, so I added various magical materials for blending to make the building strength reach Level 2, 3, or 4."

"After adding an intelligent control module, the city builder can perform free modeling, thereby designing various styles of houses, city walls, villas, and castles!"

Brian quickly and smoothly described the general principle, strength, and function of the city builder.

After listening, Phantom Moon nodded slightly, showing her appreciation:

"Oh, that's very interesting! This is taking the method of building low-level Mage Towers and adapting and upgrading it. So, this city builder has impressive efficiency in building barracks or cities, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Phantom Moon. The inspiration for the city builder comes from this. The city builder can complete the construction of city walls, roads, houses, villas, and castles in my territory in half a day, so its efficiency is very high." Brian replied.

After thinking for a moment, Brian added, "The city builder is currently a Level 4 magical creation. If it's just building city walls, it can build one kilometer in just one minute."

"Hmm, not bad. Reaching Level 4 in strength can be used in many places. For example, quickly deploying defenses outside the portal in plane wars." Phantom Moon praised.

Phantom Moon frowned slightly and continued, "It would be even better if it could be further upgraded on this basis, such as improving construction speed and building strength. That would play a huge role in many scenarios."

Brian saw Phantom Moon frown slightly,

He knew then that Phantom Moon was not particularly satisfied with the city builder.

He also decided not to mention the subsequent promotion issues to Phantom Moon.

It seems he should wait until it's upgraded before mentioning it to the big shot.

Isn't it better to be sensible?

After adjusting his slightly disappointed mood,

Brian smiled and said, "Your Excellency Phantom Moon, I also have similar ideas and will continue to research upgrades in the future. By the way, I recently successfully advanced to Level 4 Mage, and I want to upgrade Spirit Eye. Can you give me some suggestions for plans and required materials?"

"Oh? You advanced to Level 4 Mage so quickly! Not bad." Phantom Moon thought for a moment:

"Spirit Eye? You mean that intelligent life form of yours! I've studied the information you gave me before, and I found that it can upgrade itself. Currently, what limits it is only the materials you used when you created it."

"There are two methods: first, using material fusion without harming its essence. Second, letting this little fellow temporarily reside on the magic net, and you rebuild its main body with higher-grade materials."

"I suggest you upgrade it in one go, to at least Level 6. Hmm... never mind, how about I give you some Level 7 materials? Uh, no, you can't process those materials!"

At this point, Phantom Moon paused.

Then she continued, "How about this, I'll help you integrate Level 7 materials into the little fellow's original body. This way, the little fellow can gradually upgrade itself to Level 7."

Hearing that Phantom Moon actually offered to help integrate Level 7 materials into Spirit Eye,

Brian's heart was immediately filled with various emotions.

He couldn't understand why the big shot Phantom Moon was so good to him.

Perhaps sensing Brian's thoughts, before Brian could speak, Phantom Moon added:

"Don't overthink it, this is an investment in you. Only those we favor can receive investment from people like us."

After hearing what the big shot Phantom Moon said,

He felt it made sense; it seemed there was nothing about him worth the big shot's scheming.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to Phantom Moon in a grateful tone:

"Thank you very much for your high regard, Your Excellency! I will trouble you with Spirit Eye's upgrade."

Phantom Moon blinked slightly and said, "There's no need to be so polite. You have potential, and you can occasionally produce creations that interest me, so you're worth my investment."

"I believe with your talent, you have a chance to become one of us. I hope you don't disappoint my expectations!" Finally, Phantom Moon said with a mix of anticipation and playfulness.

Brian noticed the change in the big shot Phantom Moon's tone and quickly promised:

"Brian will definitely not disappoint Your Excellency!"
