This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 332

  Chapter 332 Goblin Laboratory

  Goblin Laboratory, the most high-end scientific research institution in Clockwork City, is a place specializing in alchemy.

  This kind of important place is naturally extremely guarded, but Mu You has the ability to disguise, so it is not difficult to sneak in.

   Now that his needs for weapon accessories are basically settled, Mu You is ready to go to this so-called laboratory.

  But before he could leave, a prompt popped up in the game.

  【You saw a mechanical beetle running towards your feet along the gap in the ground, and climbed up your shoulder along the leg bone of the mecha. 】

  【Ni's scouting beetle has reported a piece of news you may need. 】

  【It learned from the conversation of two old goblin workers that the 'Clockwork Clock Tower' built 800 years ago is located in the center of the city and is responsible for the timekeeping work of the whole city. 】

  【Because of the special significance of the clock tower to the clockwork city, if you want to keep the time accurate for many years, you need an extremely precise and wear-resistant main gear. At that time, the level of alchemy of the goblins was not enough to manufacture such precise accessories. It is said that in order to build the clock tower, the chief designer had to place a precious "golden gear" in the core mechanism of the clock tower...]

"oh?"

   Mu You was taken aback.

  He was about to go to the goblin laboratory, but he didn't expect the news of the golden gear to come just in time.

  The clock tower mechanism that needs to maintain a high degree of precision uses golden gears, which makes sense in principle.

   But after all, it was more than 800 years ago, and the specific facts have yet to be verified.

   After thinking about it, Mu You decided to go to the bell tower first to confirm whether the information is true or not.

  【You are walking towards the central street of Clockwork City...】

  【You have come to the 'Clockwork Clock Tower' tower. 】

  【The Clockwork Clock Tower is the core timekeeping device of the entire Clockwork City and one of the most important buildings in the city. All the goblins and machines in the city use its time as the basis for their daily work and life. Once the time of the clock tower is out of order, the whole city may fall into chaos and stop. 】

  【You are hiding in a blind spot under the clock tower, and you have activated 'Detect Sand Spider Nest'. 】

  【Mechanical spiders the size of gravel climbed out of the spider nest, quickly crossed the ground, and climbed towards the top of the clock tower...】

Detecting the sand spider nest, this is a detection device that Mu You accidentally found in the clockwork city, an epic alchemy prop, after activation, it can immediately produce 160 mechanical sand spiders, which last for one hour, and each Only have super climbing, jumping and detection ability.

  When these sand spiders leave their nests, they leave behind a thread invisible to the naked eye, which can extend up to two kilometers away. Any information detected by the sand spiders along the way will be reported to the main body in real time through the thread.

  【The group of sand spiders quickly climbed to the top of the clock tower and penetrated through the gaps in the surrounding walls. A series of complex and precise mechanical clock structures constantly emerge in your mind...】

  【The clusters of densely engaged gears could not stop the sand spiders from sneaking in. One of the sand spiders finally reached the core of the clock tower first after going through many obstacles. 】

  【You saw the only small golden light and shadow among the countless gray and black gears. 】

  【Golden gear: A gear with the characteristic of 'eternal', which cannot be damaged or worn in any way. 】

   "There really are!"

   Mu You's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the rumors eight hundred years ago to be true!

  Gears with eternal characteristics, no wonder they are so precious.

   This thing is an accessory specially designed for the long-term stable operation of advanced instruments, and there are probably not many in the entire clockwork city.

  The first-generation conversion device made by the old goblin was a test product for pathfinding, just to verify the feasibility of the idea, and it used a lower-level replacement. But for formal production, if you want to maintain the stability of the conversion device under high pressure for a long time, you must have something like a golden gear.

   In this way, the sources of the two mission props are all found.

  However, this clock tower is the timekeeping device of the entire Clockwork City. Once the clock tower breaks, all robots' concept of time will be disordered, so even if you know something is inside, you can't rush to do it, otherwise you will expose yourself in advance.

  Golden Gear Let's talk about it later, let's go to the goblin laboratory first.

  【You have come to the front of the goblin laboratory. 】

[This is a large academic base covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres. It is one of the areas with the strongest armed forces in the entire clockwork city. There are a large number of heavily armed guard robots patrolling outside, and there are various types of monitoring on the walls of the base. device. 】

  【You switch to a camouflaged form: cleaning robot. 】

  【You swing the dust removal brush on your forearm to clean up the dust along the road, and gradually approach the gate of the base. 】

  【You have crossed the cordon, the surrounding guard robots are doing as usual, they continue to patrol, turning a blind eye to you...】

   Sure enough, no matter how tight the defense system is, it is difficult to avoid this basic loophole.

  The monitoring devices on the fence monitor the approach of living things, but the mechanical body is not within their jurisdiction. After all, who would have thought that a mechanical body would have the consciousness of a living person?

  The cleaning robots all over the city are one of the most easily overlooked mechanical bodies. Even a place as important as the goblin laboratory cannot lack the existence of such low-level hard workers.

  【Relying on the camouflage form, you successfully blended into the laboratory. 】

  【In the main building of the laboratory, there are many cleaning robots like you, scattered around, busy with their own work, you are mixed in, not conspicuous. 】

  【You stick to the wall and sweep past, while taking the opportunity to observe the layout of the building. You see a variety of mecha models on display racks around the building, most of them in an unfinished state. 】

  【M-9 guard robot...】

  【U-7 flying reconnaissance robot...】

  【S-12 Goblin manned airship...】

  In the past few days, Mu You has visited Clockwork City, encountered countless mechas of all kinds on the way, and knows the naming rules of various mechas of the Goblin tribe.

However, the models displayed in this building are all mechas that he has never seen before, and they are often robots of similar models, one or two generations taller, and their functions are also better than the previous generation robots. More or less improved.

   Mu You sneaked around through the perspective of the sweeping robot, looking for something good.

   As a result, before I read it for a while, a golden word suddenly flashed in the text, which was extremely eye-catching.

[You see two humanoid robots in front of you carefully carrying a glass instrument full of frost. In the middle of the ice and snow inside the instrument, there is a metal sheet the size of a baby's fist lying quietly. The surface of the sheet is shining with a faint golden light. . 】

  【Automatic tracking circuit: A type of robot combat circuit, a legendary alchemy accessory. The long-range attack triggered by the battle robot can be equipped with the function of automatically searching for the enemy. After the attack is fired, the attack that does not lock the target will automatically chase the random enemy within the range. 】

   Mu You was dumbfounded, and automatically searched for the enemy. There is such a thing?

  All long-range attacks are equipped with tracking functions, which is too powerful, especially for things like mechas, it is equivalent to all bullets and artillery full-change missiles, and the attacks will be hit without misses. What is this concept?

Among other things, let's just say that the two shotguns he just bought before were originally range attack weapons, which are not practical when fighting a single target, but with this circuit, the two guns have a total of 400 energy bullets per second. Poured on a target, the damage is absolutely explosive.

  【You saw two robots carefully carrying the refrigeration equipment, transporting this precious battle circuit to the depths of the hall...】

   Seeing the item being sent away, Mu You hurriedly manipulated the characters to follow. This item made him jealous and he had to get it.

   As a result, he was stopped by someone before he even took two steps.

  【You followed the robot to a workshop deep in the laboratory. Seeing the two robots pushing the door, you hurried to follow, but as soon as you stepped into the yellow line in front of the door, the goblin guarding the door immediately scolded you: "What are you doing, why did the cleaning robot come here?"]

  【In the program of the cleaning robot, there is a rule that it will never step into the cordon. The goblin noticed your abnormal behavior, and gestured to the two guard robots beside you to take you down. 】

  【The two combat robots immediately raised their weapons towards you, and are about to kill you...】

   Mu You hurriedly went back according to the table.

   Time flies, back to before stepping into the yellow line, and immediately order the character to cancel following.

  【You stopped in front of the entrance cordon, hurriedly changed direction, continued to work as if nothing had happened, and silently moved away from the vicinity. 】

  【The goblin in front of the door glanced at you, but didn't pay too much attention, and continued to play with the instrument in his hand. 】

  【You stay in front of the wall, standing still, pretending to stop charging, and quietly observe the workshop. 】

[Mysterious workshop: The unmarked workshop located in the depths of the goblin laboratory is the core of the entire laboratory. Most of the first-generation models of alchemy technology in the history of the goblins were born here. The holy land of the most cutting-edge wisdom crystallization of alchemy! 】

   "Holy place..."

   Mu You looked at the text description, thought for a while, and clicked on the sand spider nest on the panel.

  【Mechanical sand spiders emerge from your body, along the gaps in the floor, and quickly passed the cordon in front of the workshop. 】

  【Suddenly a piercing siren sounded in the hall: "Warning, an unknown mechanical body is trying to invade!" Along with the siren, countless small cannons automatically appeared on the iron wall of the studio. In the next second, a large amount of flames spewed out, hitting every sand spider in the ground fissure with precision. 】

  【Your sand spiders are all dead...】

   "Backtracking."

  Mu You pressed the watch again and returned to the calmness just now, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

   As expected of a top-secret place, the defense of this place is several grades higher than the outside... However, the more strictly guarded the place is, the more likely there are good things hidden!

  The rules here are strict and strict, but it is not seamless, just like just now, didn't two robots enter the door without hindrance?

  As long as there is a mechanical body capable of entering, then he has a chance to mix in.

   Mu You simply stayed at the door and waited with peace of mind.

   Next, robots will come in and out from time to time, and they will all be the same type of robot.

   Mu You carefully observed the information of this robot.

  【Almighty Assistant Robot: Great Alchemist Barney Vader specially built a personal assistant mobile phone armor for himself. It can take care of daily life, serve tea and water, deliver materials, convey instructions, and carve precision accessories. Various auxiliary tasks. At the same time, it has a certain combat ability, is equipped with an automatic counterattack device and a chaotic circuit, and can be used as a personal guard at critical moments. It is also the only mechanical body that is eligible to freely enter and exit the core work room. 】

"I see…"

   After reading it, Mu You understood that this thing is actually the owner of this laboratory, a 'secretary' robot specially built for himself, to handle various daily chores for it, so that it can immerse itself in research with peace of mind.

  Looking at the description, Mu You guessed that this great alchemist, Barney, might be a senior dead house. He stayed in the workshop all year round and never went out. All the work that needed to go out was done by these assistant robots.

   This is easy to handle, he only needs to kill an assistant robot and pretend to be the other party, and he can easily mix into it.

   Next, Mu You continued to clean in the hall while waiting for the movement of the distant workshop.

  It is a pity that most assistant robots just wander around the laboratory after going out, carrying some things, or handing over materials to others.

  Mu You could only wait patiently.

   Until the floor was almost washed into mirrors by him, he finally got a new hint.

  【You saw an assistant robot walking out of the workshop with a list of materials in hand, without staying in the laboratory, and went straight to the exit outside the hall...】

"coming!"

   Mu You hurriedly manipulated the characters to keep up.

  【You left the goblin laboratory following the assistant robot from a distance, and walked all the way to the alchemy warehouse on the west side, apparently to extract materials. 】

  As long as you go out, it's easy to say, just find an opportunity to kill the other party outside.

  But this time, we can no longer use the overloading pen to shoot fire, because this thing has a special identity, and if something happens and is seen by other robots, it will definitely be notified to the goblin alchemist in the laboratory, so as to arouse its vigilance.

  This time, Mu You can only assassinate himself. Fortunately, he already has the capital now.

   Seeing the text reminding the other party to enter the warehouse, Mu You manipulated the character to hide in a corner where no one was nearby, and removed the two devices at the same time, replacing them with a strong magnetic attractor.

  【Wait for a moment, you see the assistant robot just now, pushing a cart of ore out of the warehouse...】

  【When the assistant robot passed the alley in front of you, you suddenly launched a strong magnetic attraction to it. 】

  【Under the violent gravity, the assistant robot flies towards you uncontrollably. 】

  【You took out the old-fashioned freezing device, but before you fired the freezing energy, a counter-attack warhead automatically appeared on the shoulder armor of the assistant robot, and rushed towards your waist at high speed. 】

  【You suffered 341 points of damage, the waist armor was damaged, and the exoskeleton was damaged. Because of the effect of the opponent's 'chaos loop', you have entered a 'chaos' state, and all attacks have a 75% probability of hitting random directions. 】

  【The next moment, your freezing energy shot out, but it hit the wrong direction, freezing the wall next to it into an ice wall. 】

  【The assistant robot was unscathed, and took the opportunity to activate the alarm fireworks. A gorgeous firework soars into the sky and explodes over the city...]

   "Backtrack!"

   This unexpected battle process caught Mu You by surprise. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and when he saw something wrong, he immediately pressed the watch.

   Chaos effect, causing the target to miss with a 75% chance, this is the first time he has seen this miraculous effect!

   Looking at the words 'Chaos Circuit' again, it is clearly a purple epic!

After Mu You was surprised, he was surprised. The goblin engineer was really extraordinary. He could use this level of circuits at will. With so many assistant robots under his command, he was quite arrogant. This also strengthened his determination to enter the mysterious workshop. .

   This chaotic circuit is very strong. Fortunately, such probabilistic things are naturally overwhelmed by pocket watches. Mu You simply went back twice and successfully exempted from this effect.

  【The frost energy hit the assistant robot smoothly, and the opponent fell into a frozen state...】

   After freezing, the rest will be easy to deal with. This assistant robot is not a professional combat robot. Mu You uses the powerful weapons he acquired recently in turn, and then rushes to clear the life of the opponent before the freeze is lifted.
