["There are seven races in the Garden of Eden, namely the Minotaur Tribe, the Zuma Tribe, the Harpy Tribe, the Stone Statue Tribe, the One-Eyed Tribe, the Pig-Head Tribe, and our Panda Tribe." The girl took stock of what she knew very carefully. 】
"Only seven?"
Mu You was a little strange.
To put it bluntly, the races in the Star Spirit World were established for the gods to gather faith. Basically, each race corresponds to one or several gods. Therefore, the number of races that have been born in the Star Spirit World in history must be in the tens of thousands, not to mention tens of thousands. A thousand.
There are nearly a thousand races in total, and currently there are only a few dozen races left in the star spirit world. What about the remaining hundreds of races? Were you not sent here?
["Oh, by the way..." At this moment, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly added: "The seven races refer to the races that are currently living normally in the Garden of Eden, and behind the Garden of Eden, there is also a vast dormant area. , It is said that there are many races sleeping in it, but I, I don’t know exactly how many there are..." The girl failed to answer the specific number, and looked at you with some anxiety, very worried that the answer would be judged as a failure. 】
"Sleeping area?" Mu You was stunned.
["Answer is correct, you get 20 points!"]
[Your reply made the panda girl smile. While calculating the points she had on hand, she looked at you expectantly, waiting for the next question. 】
["Next question: Please elaborate on the relevant information of the 'sleep zone' (value: 30 points)."]
["I heard my grandmother say that the dormant zone is a special area created by the Watchers to deal with the increasing population in the Garden of Eden."]
["The space in the Garden of Eden is limited, and it can only accommodate ten races at the limit. Any more will crowd out each other's survival resources, causing the living conditions of each race to drop sharply. However, keeping the number of races in the Garden of Eden at seven is the best way for the Watcher to survive. We calculated the optimal number."]
["However, outside races will join the Garden of Eden every once in a while. If left unchecked, the population here will only increase. Therefore, the Watchers created a kind of 'sleep chamber'. It is said that the bodies of people who enter it will be destroyed. Frozen, stopping the loss of lifespan and entering a long dormancy, while the consciousness will enter a beautiful dream and enjoy a carefree life in the dream."]
["From now on, whenever a new race joins the Garden of Eden, the oldest race will be collectively sent to the dormant area to sleep, so that the number of races in the park will always remain at seven..." The girl tried her best. Explaining the information she knows to you. 】
"The dormant warehouse... actually made something like this..." Mu You marveled that this kind of science fiction thing actually appeared in the magical world first.
However, even if it is a dormant warehouse, it cannot be without energy consumption, right? There are hundreds of races, even if there are only 10,000 people for each race, the total will be an extremely huge number. How much energy will be consumed every day by so many dormant warehouses?
Moreover, even if the cemetery is used up, no matter how big the dormant warehouse is, it will be filled sooner or later. What will happen to the extra people then?
Mu You always felt that there was something wrong with this so-called 'sleep warehouse', but he couldn't tell where the problem was, so he had to put it down and continue asking questions.
…
Within the next hour, Mu You asked questions about various aspects of this underground world, and the panda girl also answered them one by one. Some of them were clear, and some of them she didn't understand.
After some roundabout exploration, I finally figured out the situation of this 'Garden of Eden'.
In short, the so-called Garden of Eden is actually a utopian society ruled by artificial intelligence, where robots act as both rulers and nannies, responsible for providing survival materials for all creatures and arranging jobs for everyone. , relying on powerful computing power to handle everything in an orderly manner, this is how it has been able to maintain normal operation here for so many years.
During this period, Mu You also asked the name of this panda girl, her name was 'Chunli', her nickname was Lili. She grew up with her grandmother. Her grandmother passed away when she was ten years old, and she has been alone since then. Life has come to this point.
Perhaps because of her long-term isolation, Lili is a relatively independent child in her tribe. She always likes to do some unruly things secretly. For example, this time, she heard a fight in the sky during her schoolwork. Hearing the sound, his curiosity was overwhelming, so he secretly skipped class and ran to the scene to watch the excitement. It was by chance that he picked up the Heart of Machinery.
In addition to being reckless, Mu You's other impression of her is that of a 'foodie'.
During the questions she just asked, she got nearly 1,200 points, all of which she used to exchange for food.
In order to conveniently pick up the meal, Mu You parachuted directly into the restaurant midway.
"Boss, another fried pork with bamboo shoots..." Mu You looked at the empty plate that had just been taken out of the game and was licked clean, and ordered again without thinking.
As a result, no one responded this time.
Mu You looked up and found that the boss had walked out of the kitchen and was standing next to him, looking at him with a strange expression: "Guest, the bamboo shoots are really gone this time. We can't even borrow them from the store next door. Otherwise... Would you like to order something else first? I'll ask someone to order bamboo shoots."
"Oh, forget it..."
It was only then that Mu You realized that he had been ordering dozens of fried pork with bamboo shoots without stopping. In the eyes of others, he might have become a giant panda weirdo.
Mu You paid the bill, turned and left the store.
["System Master, are you there? What's the next question?"]
At this time in the game, Chunli is still waiting to answer questions and get points to exchange for food.
["There are no question and answer tasks today."] Mu You had no choice but to reply.
["Ah? That's it? Then how to get points in the future?" Chunli was shocked. 】
[“The Q&A system will generate questions from time to time every day. In addition, points can also be obtained by completing tasks. The points obtained by completing tasks are generally much higher than answering questions.”]
Mu You considered that he almost understood the basic situation now, so he stopped asking questions and would wait for the remaining details to be discussed.
[You suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. 】
[Two robots equipped with weapons swaggered into Chunli's yard and were heading towards the bamboo house. 】
["No, the patrol is here! They must be here to search for hidden things..." Chunli exclaimed, hurriedly pulling out a sack from behind the door and stuffing the sack under the bed with difficulty. 】
[Through the opening of the bag, you vaguely see that the bag is full of broken props and bottles and jars with mud. You even see a few human skulls...]
"You really pick up everything..." Mu You was speechless.
During his previous battle with the so-called 'host', he blasted a hole in the sky, and a lot of outside objects fell in. She obviously picked them up from underneath the falling objects.
[After Chunli hid the 'stolen items', she quickly stuffed you into her clothes and wrapped you up. 】
[At this time, the two robots in the courtyard have already stepped into the door, and the mechanical voice is broadcasting: "No. AY7463, Panda Chunli, routine inspection, please cooperate, scanning..."]
[The two robots released red light curtains in their eyes, and carefully scanned everything in the room, including Chunli...]
[Chunli held the corner of her clothes, tilting her head and whistling seemingly nonchalantly, but you could clearly feel her nervousness from the strength of her grip on you through the clothes. 】
["Dangerous object found!" When one of the robots scanned under the bed, an alarm suddenly sounded. You felt Chunli's body tremble slightly...]
Mu You was also nervous at this time. He had held his pocket watch early. Once he was discovered by the robots, he would issue an emergency mission and use Chunli's body to kill the two robots.
However, these robots are likely to be 'networked'. The cost of doing so is that they will be directly exposed, which may cause more trouble in the future.
Fortunately, things haven't gotten that bad yet.
[The robot dragged the bag out from under the bed and poured out all the contents. Bottles and jars of garbage were immediately scattered all over the floor...]
[Two robots quickly locked on a small piece of iron in a piece of garbage: "Dangerous items found! Preliminary scan shows fragments of offensive weapons, execute the command: carbonization and erasure!"]
[You notice that this piece of metal looks familiar. It seems to be a fragment of your shotgun...]
[The two robots did not look at other things on the ground. They stared at the fragments on the ground as if facing a formidable enemy. The gun muzzles appeared on their hands, and each fired a dazzling laser towards the fragments...]
[Under the scorching heat, the fragments were quickly melted into ash and dispersed in the wind. 】
[The robot then put away the red weapon in his hand and continued to scan the room...]
["Scan completed, safe confirmed." After a few seconds, the robot stopped scanning. 】
[One of the robots walked up to Chunli and broadcast: "Chunli, the panda, hides external objects without permission. I will give you a warning and deduct 3 evaluation points!"]
[After the verdict was pronounced, the two robots went out and walked away, leaving only tattered garbage on the ground and Chunli with a bitter look on her face...]
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
The two robots turned a blind eye to the foreign objects all over the floor, and only went to war with the piece of iron. It was obvious that they were looking for his remnants.
Having said that, the scanning of these robots can actually quickly lock on an iron piece the size of a fingernail in a pile of debris submerged in soil... Could it be said that they have some special sense of mechanical objects from the outside world?
But speaking of mechanical items, his Mechanical Heart is also mechanical, and it is much larger than the iron piece. It should be more conspicuous. Why was it not scanned out?
As soon as this question came up, Mu You immediately remembered a previous text in the abyss, saying that when he approached the protective shield, he had a feeling of 'fallen leaves returning to their roots'.
At that time, Mu You had speculated whether the mechanical heart came from this Garden of Eden?
Because it is something here and not a foreign object, no abnormalities were detected in the scan, which can explain what happened just now.
However, this means that Mu You cannot send in the mechanical accessories obtained from the Star Spirit World in the future, and they cannot be used if they are sent in. Once used, they will be discovered immediately.
The only way to reshape the combat power without exposing oneself is to 'use local materials' and search for local mechanical parts in the Garden of Eden to reassemble a mecha skin so that it can perfectly integrate into the local area.
It's just that he is still a handless cube, and the process of finding mechanical parts can only be done by tricking Chunli into doing it for him.
["Ding, the mission system has been updated!" Your voice played directly in Chunli's mind. 】
["Task 1: Continuously supply energy to the system and find stable energy (value: 100 points per day)"]
["Task 2: Search for mechanical parts for the system and assemble a complete mecha (value: 1000 points)"]
["Task 3: Go to the dormant area and find a way to sneak into it to investigate (value: 1000 points)"]
This little panda girl seemed to be particularly resistant to killing robots, so Mu You didn't make it difficult for her and slightly modified the content of mission 2.
Mechanical accessories do not have to be obtained from robots. You can also find obsolete parts. With so many robots here, there will definitely be a large number of replacement parts every day.
As for task 3, it was purely a temporary idea.
The setting of this 'sleep zone' makes Mu You feel a little awkward, especially in such a utopian society ruled by robots. It seems that this kind of pure waste of resources should not exist... In short, wait It never hurts to go in and investigate when you get a chance.
["The mission... is so difficult..." Chunli muttered in a low voice after listening to your report, but suddenly she screamed: "Oh, no, I have to go mining in the back mountain today, and I'm going to be late!"]
[Chunli hurriedly took you out of the door...]
[You borrowed Chunli's perspective and saw the scenery of the outside world. 】
[The gathering place of the Pandaren is located on a mountain. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, with lush vegetation, long pavilions, corridors, small bridges and flowing water everywhere. The plump pandas are either carrying poles and busy in the farmland; some are wearing raincoats and playing flutes in the mountains and forests; some are wearing bamboo hats and dancing with spears and sticks on the top of the mountain, in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere...]
[Chunli climbed flexibly to the mountainside of the back mountain, passed through a bamboo forest, and arrived at a natural mine...]
[At this moment, in the mine, there are already a large number of figures working with axes and pickaxes. In addition to the pandas, you also saw a creature with a human body and the head of a bull. It has two horns on its head and has a majestic body. It is the tauren clan. 】
["Chunli!! You're late again!" Arriving at the scene, Chunli was just about to sneak into the mine when she was startled and froze by a roar from behind. 】
[Chunli turned around mechanically and saw an old female panda standing behind her. She quickly waved her hand and explained: "Grandma Yao, I didn't mean it. It was the patrollers who ransacked my house. I was busy cleaning up and was late." of……"】
[The old panda man walked quickly to Chun Li with a cane. He was about to curse her, but suddenly he was stunned and stared at her chest with a frown: "What is hidden in your chest? How can there be fluctuations in the potion?" 】
["Ah..." Chunli was startled and her eyes turned sharply a few times. Perhaps because she knew she couldn't hide it, she had no choice but to take out the cloth bag hidden in her chest and give it to the old man. 】
["This is... an epic potion!?" The old man looked at the potion in the bag in shock. He hurriedly closed the bag and looked around cautiously. After confirming that no one saw it, he looked seriously. Xiang Chunli: "Where did you get this thing?"]
["Yes, it's... uh, I picked it up in the valley where the explosion happened..." Chunli answered. 】
["Did you only pick up these? Are there any others?" the old man asked hurriedly. 】
["No, gone... Oh, there are still some bottles and cans, but they are all garbage. I picked them up for fun..." Chunli shifted her gaze and spoke vaguely. 】
[The old man stared silently into her eyes after hearing this. After staring for a long time, he sighed and returned the bag to her: "I don't care what you did. In short, you should handle it yourself and don't be discovered by those robots. Otherwise, I can’t protect you.”]
["I know, I promise!" Seeing the old man's tone softening, Chunli breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly patted her chest for assurance. 】
["In addition, as the price for your nonsense, you will not be allowed to have dinner tonight!" The old man left this sentence and walked away. 】
