This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 571

Chapter 571 Mechanic

In the basin on the edge of the abyss, Mu You sneaked around to the rear, maintaining stealth, and approached the battleship parked in front step by step.

As a result, before he hit the outer barrier this time, a red searchlight suddenly looked in his direction on the bow of the battleship inside the barrier. Under the red light, Mu You's hidden figure was clearly visible. Exposed to the air in vain.

“Invisible unit discovered, identity determined as: The Fool! Danger assessment: Highly dangerous. Execution of orders: clear, erase, drive away…”

 “It really doesn't work…”

Looking at the countless cannon muzzles in front of him that were suddenly turned out, Mu You sighed, silently retraced his steps according to the watch, retreated quietly, and quickly retreated into the dense forest just now.

After confirming that the battleship was anchored in the abyss, Mu You reluctantly circled around to see if there were any gaps in the ship's defense.

It turns out that the sky above seems to be the direction with the weakest defense. Anti-concealment devices are deployed in all other ground directions. As long as they get close to a certain range of the ship's hull, they will be discovered immediately.

 A wisp of blue smoke emerged from the oil lamp on his waist, transforming into the figure of a troubadour.

"Is this the legendary mechanical life? It's a bit interesting..." The genie touched his chin and looked curiously at the battleship parked in the distance.

“You came out just in time. I just wanted to ask, who built these robots?”

Mu You took the opportunity to ask: "Are there any gods like 'God of Machinery' among the gods?"

The Djinn God shook his head: "There is no such authority as the God of Machinery, at least I haven't heard of it... However, I do know a person who may be the 'culprit' in creating these mechanical beings..."

"who?"

 “A protoss who calls himself 'The Mechanic'.”

“An ordinary god?” Mu You was stunned. These mechanical life forms were not made by gods?

"Yes, although this guy does not hold any authority, he is a real genius. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius who is rarely seen in a hundred thousand years. His brain is so smart that he is not like a mortal. Many people even doubt that he is It's not that I inherited the authority of 'wisdom'.”

 “What did he do?” Mu You was curious.

"This person's original occupation was a prop master who helped people build equipment, but he has studied props to the extreme and created many powerful armors. His own strength is actually very weak, and he is at the bottom of the entire Protoss. But with these armors, his combat power is even comparable to that of some ordinary gods!" the Deng Shen said with emotion.

“Yuanchu armor?” Mu You blurted out.

 “Oh, it seems to be called this name…”

The troubadour recalled for a moment, shook his head and said: "In short, with those magical armors, the mechanic was also a famous figure in the past, and he was well-known among the gods. Later, he was invited by many high-ranking gods to participate in the star spirit world. His underlying design, the 'alchemy' now circulated in the star spirit world, is actually the virtual life profession he designed based on the mechanical knowledge he mastered."

The genie looked at the giant battleship in the distance: "If these mechanical creations were created by that guy, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Because when that guy was alive, he was most passionate about using machinery to create real life. , it's a pity that until the destruction of the Protoss, no one was lucky enough to see this achievement come out... But judging from the current situation, this guy seems to have succeeded, and he really created a 'spiritual' mechanical body."

 “The father of alchemy…” Mu You also felt a little emotional after hearing this.

 Able to reach the level of a **** with a mortal body, this mechanic is indeed an amazing person.

This also makes Mu You more interested in his original armors. Mortals using these armors can be compared to gods. So with the physique of a **** and the assistance of these armors, his strength will definitely be higher. Go up one floor.

It is a pity that these armors seem to have been artificially destroyed, and only some fragments are left. I don't know if they are enough to build a complete armor.

"Do you want to make a wish?" The genie nodded to the mechanical battleship in front of him with his chin and asked Muyou.

 “Make a wish…”

Mu You looked at the battleship in the distance.

Now he has only one last free wish left. It's not that you can't make a wish in the future, it's just that if you want to make a wish again, you have to pay the same price.

The wishes that are worthy of his special wish are often the kind of grand wishes that cannot be paid at all, and the wishes that are within the affordable range are often trivial and have little practical effect. It is for this reason that these three free wishes Wishes are so precious.

Of course, it would not be a loss if a wish could directly eliminate the threat of these robots. This is the purpose of wishes. Holding them in your hands until you have no more wishes is a waste.

“Then...use it.” Mu You breathed out.

"Okay, this is your freedom, what wish do you want to make?" The genie gathered his power and was ready to perform his work.

 “Just allow…”

Mu Youyou said two words, but suddenly paused.

 That's right, what wish do you want to make now?

 Directly destroy the battleship in front? But what's the use? Battleships are only part of the robot's power. Their real threat comes from Ava, the mastermind in the Garden of Eden, and the nearly ten million Exterminator robots.

 Even if all four battleships are destroyed, the threat is not eliminated.

So, kill Ava, the robot's mastermind?

However, Ava is not a living person, but a data body, a virtual life that can live in any machine. They don't even know where Ava is. Can the power of miracles take effect on this virtual existence? ? Moreover, as long as it is a data life, there is a possibility of backup. Even if the 'master brain' under the Garden of Eden is destroyed, she may be resurrected from other mechanical bodies at any time in the future.

Not to mention, even if the mastermind is instantly killed and these robots are not eliminated, theoretically they will still continue to execute the original order, which is to eliminate the Fool.

Then make a wish to kill all the robots instantly?

Mu You believes that the power of miracles can kill all the robots on the planet in an instant, but these robots have the ability to resurrect. Even if they are killed for one round, they can all be resurrected on the spot in the blink of an eye.

If you want these robots to be unable to be resurrected, you must wish to kill the magic-producing microorganisms in the robots and eliminate their resurrection energy from the source.

However, Mu You dared not grant this wish.

 Because these microorganisms are likely to be the source of the magic power of the Star Spirit World. If all these microorganisms are eliminated, will the rules of the Star Spirit World collapse from the source?

There are probably hundreds of millions or even billions of such microorganisms in each robot body. Adding up nearly 10 million robots, that is definitely an astronomical number.

And the power of miracles is also limited, not to mention whether the ability of the djinn can achieve an instant kill of this order of magnitude. Even if it can be done, because it has to fight against robots, it will collapse the entire star spirit world, and the problem will be even greater. …

 After thinking about it, Mu You discovered that he could not find a suitable wish to solve this incident at once.

"What? Isn't it allowed?" Seeing his delay in speaking, the Djinn couldn't help but ask.

"Let's wait..." Mu You smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Even if you really want to make a wish, you have to wait until the situation becomes clear and you have a suitable wish.

"Okay, look at you, I can do it at any time." The genie said nonchalantly.

 Muyou didn't waste any time and teleported directly back to Dawn City.

“How is it?” Seeing Mu You appear on the teleportation array, the herb collector hurriedly stepped forward to ask. As a clone, he certainly knew Mu You's purpose of going to the abyss.

“No, no chance.” Mu You shook his head and looked around: “Where is this side?”

“We're almost there, about ten minutes left!” said the herb collector. He was talking about the time of arriving at Hongguang City.

In fact, at this time everyone could faintly hear the roar of artillery fire and the roar of monsters from the distance.

 After continuing to fly forward for a while, an abandoned ancient city appeared in everyone's sight.

 When they got closer, the players saw a scene they would never forget.

In the mirage junction area ahead, three huge steel battleships were arranged in a Z-shaped formation, floating above the ruins of the city.

Around the battleship, densely packed robots formed a phalanx, all raising the cannons on their arms to bombard the thick fog below.

Intensive artillery fire bombarded the mirage area below into a death grinding ground. In the face of this extremely powerful firepower, mirage crabs and mirage shrimps were constantly having their carapace smashed, and their bodies were shattered as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Until it turns into a puddle of mud on the battlefield.

 The robot army is like a mechanical torrent, constantly advancing with absolute discipline and perfect coordination.

Compared with the calmness of the robot army, the giant monster army appears wild and violent. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals seem to have become red-eyed, like demons emerging from hell, exuding powerful power and terrifying aura, rushing one after another. charge towards the front line of the battlefield.

Mirage creatures have armor-like skin that protects them from most attacks, and their claws and fangs are designed to tear and devour. The robot's cannon fire poured down like a torrential rain, hitting the monster's body and exploding into pieces of sparks. The mirage creatures responded with their powerful physical strength and roars. They rushed towards the robot without fear of death, tearing it with their claws and sweeping it with their tail, tearing the robots into pieces one by one, and then threw them into the mirage.

Overall, both sides seem to be rapidly reducing their numbers. However, the military strength of both sides seems to be endless and there is no end in sight. From the scene alone, it is impossible to tell the outcome.

 What can really judge the situation is the movement of the front.

The mirage creature is the companion creature of the natural disaster beast after all, and its strength is certainly not weak, but after all, it is an away game, and under such fierce bombing by the robots, it is still losing ground.

At this moment, the edge of the mirage is receding toward the rear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 The ten sky cities led by the Fool broke into the battlefield under such circumstances.

“Be careful! Mainly focus on interference, try not to leave the mirage range, and drag the robots outside into the mirage if you have the chance..."

Several city lords briefly warned the players in each city and then directly ordered to take action.

 For a time, a dense crowd of players jumped down from the Sky City and started attacking the robot army outside.

Originally, the mirage creatures and the robots were fighting back and forth, with the robots having a slight upper hand. However, with the Fool's intervention, the situation suddenly tilted.

Seeing the players swarming up, some unknown mirage creatures instinctively brought them into the attack range and tried to attack the players.

However, they all stopped their movements when they were about to attack, refocused on the robots outside, and ignored the players.

Mu You estimated that this should be the instructions conveyed to them by the mirage tapir. The mirage tapir could see the scene happening in the mirage aura. Perhaps it felt that they were here to help, and temporarily acquiesced to join forces with them.

This makes players feel a lot more relaxed, and they can safely focus on the robots outside.

There is also experience gained for attacking these robots. There is no need to kill them completely. Even if they are resurrected immediately after death, players can still get the experience they should gain.

Coupled with the current dense battle line, any attack thrown out can hit a target, and the leveling efficiency is no worse than that in dungeons, which surprises the players.

 Because there are still times and time limits in the dungeon, but here, they can open fire unlimitedly!

 After fighting for a while, many players quickly fell in love with the feeling of increasing experience.

In addition, in order to motivate players, several city lords jointly issued a city lord task: each person can obtain ten points of Fool reputation for each mecha that is successfully disabled. The players with the highest number of kills in each city can also obtain Opportunities to serve in important positions in Sky City.

 Under the dual incentives, the players no longer had any scruples, and each one acted more decisively and harder.

 In this fierce exchange of fire, time passed slowly.

 In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

  After a day of fierce fighting, the players were exhausted no matter how strong their physical strength was, and had to go back to change shifts.

 At this time, a new batch of players have also arrived on the battlefield one after another, filling their positions.

 Early the next morning, Mu You and several city lords gathered together again and held an impromptu meeting, mainly to tally yesterday's results and casualties.

“The casualties are not that big. The players are very smart. They usually hide behind the mirage creatures, letting them act as vanguards to resist damage, and then take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.”

"Even if someone is unlucky and dies multiple times, the experience deducted is not as good as the experience gained. Overall, it is a profit, otherwise the players would not be so willing to come to the front line to fight." Jiuyou looked at his hands. The data in explains.

 “What about the battle damage of the robot?” asked the emperor.

"After a day of fierce fighting yesterday, we captured a total of more than 73,000 mechas. It may seem like a huge number, but compared to the number of the robot army, it is still only an insignificant part, and it has not shaken them at all. Foundation." Jiuyou said.

 “What about the front? How much has it advanced?”

"This is the biggest problem. In one day, the edge of the mirage has only advanced about three thousand meters. At the current speed, it will take at least four months to push the edge of the mirage into the great abyss!" Jiuyou said solemnly.

 “So long?” Everyone frowned when they heard this.

This time took much longer than they imagined. They originally expected to push the front line through in a day or two, but it seemed that they thought too much.

Of course, the Mechanical Legion is probably more anxious than they are now. They originally wanted to repel the mirage creatures from the Star Spirit Realm, but instead of being able to repel them, the mirage is still spreading towards the great abyss.

You must know that every meter the mirage boundary advances is equivalent to one meter closer to death for the robot.

 So the situation is clear and fools still have the upper hand.

However, the problem is that they can't afford it. The nine black holes on the earth are still alive. The giants in the sky may discover the remnants of these black holes at any time and invade them. Before that, they must fly the Sky City into the sky and block these black holes. .

 How long this period will be, no one can say, it depends on luck, but it certainly cannot be as long as four months.

 “Boss, someone is looking for you...”

While Mu You was thinking about the solution in the meeting, Xiaoya suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered.

"Oh? Who's looking for me?" Mu You glanced at Xiaoya and saw her pointing to the door. He signaled to everyone, left the table temporarily, and followed her out of the conference room.

Outside the conference room, there was indeed a familiar figure waiting for him.

 "Katerina? What's wrong?" Mu You looked at the woman in front of him.

 The person at the door was none other than another vampire who had passed through the City of Enoch with him before, Katarina the Deathrapper.

“Last night, I saw your future again in my dream!” Catalina said solemnly.
