Although it is cool to set off at night, Wanxing City is located in the middle of the Dark Star Territory and is a transportation hub, which means...
There's still half the journey to go.
It’s time to wash up and sleep!
There was just a small incident in the middle. Archbishop Higurashi of the Church of the End made too much noise, which spread through the Internet and caused a small-scale panic.
So the flight attendants began to hand out freshly printed anti-evil missionary manuals still smelling of ink, and quickly reassured the passengers by saying that everything was safe.
Some people did not expect that such a big thing would happen in Xingwan City while they were shopping.
"Fortunately, we are leaving the Dark Star Territory, so we won't run into this crazy guy!"
"I didn't expect that after the Dusk Order was destroyed, another Church of the End would come. The world would become increasingly chaotic."
"The sword master who uses his tentacles as swords is crazy, but he is inexplicably handsome. Crushing with absolute strength is a man's romance!"
"A big family like the Lin family shouldn't be clean either. Maybe they've been hacked."
"Where do you get this theory of victim guilt? Don't hate the rich, okay?"
"..."
Everyone was talking a lot, most of them were afraid and onlookers, and a small number of people were gloating about the misfortune.
As for Lu Yu, three "bcc" female flight attendants also sent picture albums. Although they couldn't eat them, women, like men, were very interested in looking at beautiful things.
And they knew that one person's charm was not enough, so they changed their thinking and invited five people to play games together to improve their scores, but Lu Yu declined.
Boys have to protect themselves outside.
Don’t think others are nymphomaniacs. Once you get entangled with some people, it’s not easy to get rid of them!
Lu Yu closed the door and looked at the cover of the album. Since no photos were taken, it was a figure in a yellow robe and a hundred touches hand-drawn by the profiler based on the survivors of the Lin family.
A yellow-robed figure stands on the boundary between light and darkness, half of the sun's ring shines behind it, a golden light mist like a snake wraps around it, and countless tentacles descend in the darkness!
Um! ?
How can you become more beautiful than yourself?
"This artist is professional in PS beauty. He has no professional ethics at all. In order to prevent him from losing his job, a kind person from Lu copied this image!"
Lu Yu did another good thing. He turned around and saw Shushu sitting on the soul cloud and sighing. He asked casually:
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Xiu Ren, can you not go to Nightmare Prison for training today?" Shushu begged weakly.
Lu Yu nodded: "Okay, let's do it tomorrow!"
He was a little tired after traveling thousands of miles overnight, battling wits and courage with an eternal giant, and his hands cramped even when counting money at the end.
Combining work and rest is the way to go!
However, after hearing this, Shushu was not happy, but continued:
"Then...can you not go tomorrow?"
Lu Yu frowned when he heard this, thinking it was the lazy hamster's cancer that had struck again!
However, after hearing the explanation, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It turned out to be this guy Shushu... It exploded!
Because this time, a large number of rat clones were used as disguises. They used their power for personal gain. They used their spare time to buy and plunder sheep, etc., to hoard a large number of potato chips, Fat House Happy Water, assorted snacks, etc.
To put it simply, it is equivalent to winning the lottery and becoming rich overnight, without wanting to work anymore!
Now the pie painted by Shushu is no longer easy to use!
Lu Yu wondered: "When they come back, won't these all be yours?"
When did this astringent hamster become so talkative?
Shouldn't we say "You already have a way to die" and then take back the treasury?
Shushu pursed his lips and said: "Although they did not inherit Shushu's hard work, they did inherit the astonishing wisdom. They had already thought of this result in advance, so they went to find Sister Spider and took a small piece from the void treasure chest. Place as a granary!”
I feel like I'm getting better today!
All the rat clones will go to Little Spider Bank to open an account!
He glanced at Little Spider, who was holding a big watermelon and nodded vigorously.
"Hey!"
it is true!
Shushu continued to say aggrievedly: "Originally, I wanted to do some behind-the-scenes operations with Sister Zhu. I just asked Sister Zhu to turn it into a bad debt and deal with it. If I ask later, I can also use the fire dragon to burn the warehouse.
But Sister Spider is too upright, saying that the rat clones are also family members, and that the property of each rat is sacred and inviolable. Moreover, they have also formed a [Rat clone rights protection union], united the other rat clones, and refused all malicious oppression. They have already begun Demand to make up for the previous arrears and raise wages, otherwise we will go on strike! "
The little spider smiled and did not express any opinion on this. For the sake of family harmony, fairness must be the priority.
Neither can the owner, unless he touches its head!
Thinking of this, the little spider took a bite of the watermelon, with a satisfied look on his face.
'So sweet! '
Lu Yu was also surprised. He didn't expect that the rat clones not only knew how to farm grain, but also developed a workers' rat union to unite the majority of rat clones to fight again!
Isn't this combination more exciting than a business war involving boiling water on a money tree, throwing shared bicycles, and buying the security guard to turn off the power?
The next step... won't be to hang the big capitalist rat on the street lamp, right?
Lu Yu also listened with great interest, but still found a blind spot:
"Then can't you just make up what you owe? I seem to have bought you a lot of potato chips, right?"
"How is that possible!!"
Shushu shook his head into a wavy drum and said seriously:
"They are me. I am squeezing myself. Why should I have any opinions? Today I dare to ask for wages and tomorrow I dare to ask for cultivators. Shushu must not condone this evil trend!
What's more, Dandan ate all the potato chips I stored last time. Even if I wanted to pay my salary, I couldn't! "
"Roar?"
Dandan, who was half asleep, heard the keyword "eat" and raised his ferocious dragon head. His eyes opened and he looked around curiously.
Where is the food?
Isn't it time to eat?
"I see!"
Lu Yu also understood that Shushu was misappropriating public funds, but encountered a money withdrawal frenzy, which was about to cause a bank run.
It seems that this guy is not far away from thunder!
Lu Yu suddenly realized and said: "You came to me to pass on your debt!!"
Want to find funds from outside to fill the gap? This hamster is getting smarter and smarter!
But isn't that just - [Potato chips whack mice, the mice (potatoes) are gone]!
"hey-hey!"
Shushu scratched his head with his little paws, showed a flattering smile, came forward and said:
"Xiuren, you're talking about passing on debt, how ugly that sounds. This is called angel investment. You invest in my project, and we can make it bigger and stronger together.
With just a few hundred bags of potato chips, you can fill up the rat bank and get a group of hard-working rat rats at your disposal! "
Although his way of speaking was still strange, Lu Yu would not be fooled this time and decisively refused:
"I have already paid the salary. You should wait for your weekly funds. Since you said they are you, then you will pay for the snacks for the little mice. It is not expensive. I will give you a small change. That's eight. A hundred dollars!"
Lu Yu also wanted to see the follow-up Shushu Wuxian, so it was naturally impossible for him to help.
What's more, the rat clone's intelligence is getting higher and higher. In fact, the skill proficiency of [Soul Clone] is constantly improving, and it has reached the perfect level of 99%!
It’s only one step away from breaking through to reaching the pinnacle!
Let Lu Yu be the pusher to help Shushu reach the sky in one step.
If it fails... I can only blame this hamster for going too far in the past, which completely aroused public outrage!
"What!?" Shushu was petrified on the spot. Not only did he not get the funds, he also shouldered an additional debt.
How sad!
In fact, the problem is not that serious, because tomorrow is Monday, new weekly funds have arrived, and it is not difficult to pay off even one more debt.
The problem is that there will be a salary increase later...
As a result, the privileged life that Shushu gained by squeezing the mouse's clone will be completely shattered, and life will be tight.
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
Looking at Shuren who turned to wash up, Shushu's expression changed, and suddenly he clapped his little paws and murmured:
"We have a solution, big capital rats will not fall!"
It came up with a wonderful method, which only required a period of preparation to make the rat clones obey!
When the time comes, you can do whatever you want and enjoy the cultivator’s amazed gaze!
"Jie Jie Jie..." Shushu's sinister laughter sounded, and then Lu Yu, who had finished washing, put a piece of tape on it and physically sealed it.
In the following days, Lu Yu lived a stable schedule, eating and drinking during the day, and training in the Nightmare Prison at night.
Among them, Little Spider's [Illusion] skill successfully exceeded the peak 1%, adding a simple to the extreme effect.
sublimation!
Directly upgrade the mid-level [Illusion] skill to the high-level [Illusion Protection]. While the power of the skill itself remains unchanged, the illusion created becomes more realistic and the consumption is reduced to half of the previous one.
Although the illusion system is no longer the main ability of the little spider, don't forget that it also has the fantasy object [Dream Bubble]!
The more real the illusion, the stronger the ability to deceive!
Reversal of illusion and reality!
Shushu, on the other hand, directly settled half of the wages for most of the mouse clones after the money arrived. Although the [Rat Clone Rights Protection Union] was dissatisfied, after Shuashu took out the cultivator and gave an impassioned speech, he moved Shushu. Avatars, start skill training.
Lu Yu was shocked that this hamster was willing to cut his flesh, and he was a little relieved.
The effect is also very obvious. Although the soul clone has not broken through, the super-level skill [Shadow Control] has reached the peak of 90%!
About to become a saint!
As for Dandan... the other skills have not been touched at all, but [Immortal Hunger] has broken through to the perfect 1% level in just a few days!
Even with the proficiency template, the progress is too fast to be understood!
This guy is so compatible with "eating"!
In a fairy-tale world, Gao Luo has a pure heart!
Time passed little by little, and finally at noon on the fifth day after boarding the [Crossing Star] train, I left the Dark Star Territory.
As the Star Crosser drove at high speed, we soon saw a 300-meter-high white gold metal wall, like countless metal giants standing side by side, with no edges visible at a glance.
However, this heavy metal is like water, constantly flowing and changing, emerging in the form of various weapons. From ancient times to the present, all mechanical creations have emerged, but then sank into the metal, constantly changing.
Such a scene brings a terrifying sense of oppression to life both within and outside the territory!
At the same time, I felt the beauty of machinery!
"Xiu Ren, is this the Mechanical King's Domain? Why did it build such a big door? What's the use? Aren't you afraid of being bypassed?" Shushu exclaimed.
Lu Yu looked at the huge metal door through the car window. Hearing these words, he smiled and said:
"This is the Gate of Weapons, one of the masterpieces of the Mechanics Alliance, and it includes the entire Tool King's Domain!"
"The entire territory!"
Shushu’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief:
"real or fake?"
Lu Yu nodded and explained: "Of course it is true. In fact, the Beast Controller Alliance in the Mechanical King's Domain is called the Mechanic Alliance, and it also has a nickname, called Infrastructure Madman, and the Gate of All Mechanics is the Mechanic." One of the alliance's masterpieces, it can protect the entire region.
These mechanics have constructed countless mechanical spiritual inscriptions, as well as tens of thousands of advanced weapons, countless turrets, electromagnetic and laser technologies, etc...
All of this is controlled by the top intelligence brain of the Mechanical King Alliance [Mechanical Mother]. It has computing power close to the true king level, but it is only computing power, not spiritual power or force.
But even so, it can also respond to different monsters in different ways, and it can also connect with hundreds of large ordnance factories for supplies. It can deal with thousands of monster battlefields at the same time, and handle all major and minor matters in the entire large area.
It is also one of the base stations of the network we use, responsible for building the network, connecting signals, and even participating in a large amount of underlying code writing and programming.
It can be said that [Tool Mother] is the uncrowned king of the Tool King Realm, but she is a perfect king who has no desires and abides by order and rules. It spreads its influence invisibly through electronic products as a medium, and has the same laws as the true king. Effect. "
This knowledge was obtained after Lu Yu praised Lilith's cabinet skills!
"Hey!" The little spider also showed a look of surprise. Just by describing it, he could feel the power of the Gate of Weapons!
If you can be that strong, you can protect your master!
He no longer has to worry about external dangers that will disturb him, he just needs to live quietly in the beautiful world he has woven.
"Roar!"
Dandan raised his head and looked at this huge portal. His eyes were full of fighting spirit. Such a powerful thing sounded delicious. Find a chance to take a bite and try it!
Shushu was stunned when he heard this, then thought of something and asked: "Is [Machine Mother] a human creation?"
"Of course not. Human technology has only been developed for a few hundred years, and it is not enough to create a top-level intelligence like [Mechanical Mother]." Lu Yu shook his head, and then asked Shushu: "Do you know where the former Mechanical King's Domain was?" What does it look like?"
Of course Shushu, Little Spider and Dandan didn't know, so they were already sitting down obediently, ready to listen to the story!
At the same time, I cast a look of admiration!
Lu Yu enjoyed this feeling very much and continued: "The former Mechanical King's Domain was called the [Holy Gold Domain], and it was a large domain filled with metal ecology.
There is a [gravel desert] that always refracts sunlight and is high enough to boil non-mechanical life.
The [Forest of Ten Thousand Golds] is full of steel needles and even the leaves are made of sharp metal blades. If you accidentally enter it, you may be cut into countless pieces.
The [Petroleum Swamp] that spreads tens of thousands of kilometers and keeps rising oil bubbles, where countless oil lives are fighting in it
There is also the [Copper-Nickel Mountain] that is always melting but always huge. Just getting close will be polluted by heavy metal elements, causing physical diseases and so on...
In fact, the Mechanical King's Domain at this time was not suitable for human habitation, and the metal life forms were the overlords. Until an explorer came here and excavated an ancient ruins. "
Lu Yu paused for a moment, feeling a little thirsty, so he took the little spider and handed him the brewed barley tea.
He took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued:
"He discovered that this turned out to be an ancient mechanical country called the [Nation of Spiritual Machinery]. According to the remaining historical records, they once mastered terrifying technology that was enough to climb above the stars and get close to the main stream of the mother river. Machinery is theirs. antenna.
However, due to a catastrophe, it was completely destroyed, but the related mechanical technology and all creations were preserved. In fact, many of the secret realms now were caused by the leakage of creations in the Kingdom of Spiritual Weapons. "
"And the adventurer who was first discovered happened to be a beast master of the metal spiritual puzzle. He belonged to the branch of the elemental system. Moreover, because his body was solidified, he could not be elementalized, and the range damage was not enough, so he was in an awkward position. Therefore, No one will take the purely metal path, and basically have to supplement other attributes.
But after he gained a lot of mechanical knowledge from the ruins, he suddenly thought about whether he could use metal to make machines. So he transformed his pet beast into the first mechanical beast, and gave birth to a more powerful one. Spirituality, loaded with a large number of weapons left behind by the country of spiritual weapons, its strength increased a hundred times.
What is even more shocking is that mechanical creations created by oneself can also give birth to spiritual thoughts called machine souls through special technology, which greatly strengthens the mechanical power and has the potential to evolve. Do you know what this means? "
Shushu murmured: "The age of machinery...has arrived!"
"very smart!"
Lu Yu glanced at Shushu appreciatively and continued:
"After he returned, he swept away his contemporaries with his special mechanical beasts, making them feel the fear of being dominated by firepower. This instantly caused a sensation in the alliance. As a result, he gained the support of the Supreme Council and organized a large number of metal Sexbenders explore.
Over the long years, they have unearthed a large amount of technology from the country of spiritual weapons and used them to give the purely metallic beast master a new name - Mechanic!
Mechanics create mechanical creations to give birth to machine souls. Although they will also be distorted, the probability is greatly reduced. Even if the machine is contaminated, unlike flesh-and-blood creatures, it can be repaired by replacing parts, and its vitality is much stronger!
The only drawback is probably money!
Not only does your family need to have money, but you also need to have the ability to make money!
With the popularization of mechanical technology, the originally barren [Sacred Gold Realm] has transformed into a mountain of gold and silver. The ferocious metal monsters have also become the raw materials for making advanced machinery in the eyes of mechanics. If you want to make complete machinery, You can use local materials.
Later, the Mechanics Alliance was born. Some of them pursued the ultimate in force, while others derived a discipline called [Science] through machinery. Combined with extraordinary, they developed a large number of machinery suitable for civilian use and promoted it, greatly improving productivity. Levels, such as cars, high-speed rail, networks, etc., some are technologies inherited from ancient ruins, and some are improved products. [Mechanical Mother] was found among them and was a restored product.
On the border battlefield, because of the participation of mechanics, the construction of war fortresses, and various fire suppression, the casualty rate was greatly reduced, and only then could there be a hundred years of peaceful life within the border! "
Speaking of this, Lu Yu also admired the human ancestors in this world who selflessly dedicated their research results, not simply pursuing their own strength, but the strength of the race.
In this world, what is distorted is spirituality, not human nature!
They are shining!
The other three pet beasts also listened with great interest, as if they had seen human sages using their own flesh and blood to lift up the glorious human civilization!
Boom!
While they were talking, the Star Crossing train had approached the Gate of Arms, and the railway seemed to have reached its end.
It seemed like it was going to hit him straight!
Buzz!
Suddenly, a large number of blue circuit board-like patterns appeared on the Gate of Weapons, blooming with brilliance!
An electronic voice sounded:
"Test target... serial number
Boom!
Along with the violent vibration, the electromagnetic field around the metal door dispersed, and at the moment of contact, a large hole appeared that could just accommodate the asterisk.
Inside you can see the rails connected to the other end!
The train enters it,
The surrounding scenery began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the road began to become neat and tidy. There was even a broken tree on both sides of the road, and the one on the opposite side had to be split in half to maintain symmetry!
It’s good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder!
The scenery also began to be dominated by metal creations.
Compared to the Dark Star Realm, people and nature coexist harmoniously.
The feeling of Mechanical King Realm is...
order!
Like countless gears that make up a machine, everything is structured in a stable and standard direction.
Maintain stable and healthy operation!
But it also lost its freshness, and I got tired of it after a while!
"Xiuren, I feel like this place is not as fun as before!"
Shushu was lying in front of the window, looking boredly at the unchanged scenery outside the window. Suddenly... a group of sparrows appeared, flying at a low altitude, turning their heads, looking at the passengers in the carriage with eyes full of wisdom. It was funny. Many people laughed.
The flight attendants just laughed and said nothing!
"These silly birds are interesting, they are more beautiful than the scenery!"
Shushu made a face in response and asked:
"Xiuren, didn't you say that most of the Mechanical King's Domain is filled with metal monsters? Why can such ordinary birds survive safely? It doesn't feel as dangerous as you said..."
Lu Yu said meaningfully: "Take a closer look!"
"good!"
Shushu continued to look and found that these cute sparrows suddenly had their heads falling off!
"Ahhhhh, what is this!?"
The rat was so frightened that it flew back with a look of horror. After all, it is most afraid of the dark and scary things!
I don’t dare to listen to ghost stories, even though it is a thousand-faced ghost rat...
Many passengers were also frightened and their scalps went numb!
How could you see a ghost in broad daylight?
"etc……"
Soon, Shushu discovered that the broken heads of the sparrows did not fall off. There were actually springs connected to the bodies. The bodies were not made of flesh and blood, but had a special metal structure.
During the flight, they quickly put their heads back through their own vibrations, looked at the frightened people, and let out a "quacking" sound!
It seems to be laughing at their timidity!
Lu Yu's voice sounded again: "This is a spring sparrow. Its whole body is made of metal springs. It is one of the species that was born after escaping from the country of spiritual weapons and radiating the [metal spring ecology].
It feeds on rusty iron and likes to scare other beings through pranks. Its nature is not bad. Its racial skill is [Spring Fission]. When encountering danger, it can split its body to escape, and it can repair its body again by swallowing metal. Its evolutionary type is [Spring Fission]. Spring Raptor].
A larger, falcon-like pet beast that can scatter a large number of sharp springs to penetrate the enemy. They live everywhere in the Mechanical King's domain, can help remove rust from mechanical creations, and maintain friendly relations with many races. "
Speaking of this, Lu Yu also lamented the magic of creation. Even springs are part of the ecology.
Although the mechanical beasts in the Mechanical King's Domain have a much lower distortion rate than other beasts, they face another problem.
【Rust change】!
Machinery is metal, so it will naturally rust, which may affect the operation of the machine, or corrode the soul of the machine, causing it to perish or lose control!
Even some monarch-level mechanical monsters will be troubled, affecting their own promotion.
However, the solution is to let some weak low-level monsters eat the rust.
All things are balanced and mutually reinforcing each other!
A special ecological chain has been formed!
Boom!
Accompanied by a violent friction sound, the Chuanxing train suddenly stopped. Lu Yu also followed the inertia and fell forward.
Whizzing!
However, the little spider quickly took action, and a large amount of spider silk spread out, fixing Lu Yu and his luggage. Rat and Rat were not affected because they were floating in the air, while Dandan was as stable as a rock.
"Well done!"
After Lu Yu stood firm, he touched the little spider's head, then looked out the window, wondering what happened?
However, after scanning around, his eyes condensed and he said in surprise:
"This is……"
At the same time, the passengers in other carriages or second-class seats were not so lucky. Even if they were wearing seat belts, they were shaken to pieces and almost vomited out their overnight meal.
And the unlucky guy just unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, and was knocked out of the big bag.
Fortunately, the ticket price is high, and those who can come up are at least silver-level beastmasters with good physical fitness and no serious problems.
"what happened?"
"Damn it, it suddenly stopped and I almost lost my life!"
"Is there any mistake? There are children on this train. I want to complain to the Alliance Railway Bureau!"
"..."
Everyone was full of resentment, and the flight attendants also fell unprepared. After getting up, they endured the pain and apologized continuously.
It calmed down everyone's anger a little.
After all, there is no point in making things difficult for workers.
The flight attendant quickly went to find out the reason:
Several sections of railway track in front were bitten off by unknown monsters, and the surrounding protective mechanical turrets and expulsion barriers were also damaged.
Staff will be arranged immediately to carry out repairs, and Star Express will refund half of the ticket price as compensation, provide free lunch, etc.
After hearing the answers and compensation, the passengers gradually became quiet and began to complain that the infrastructure maniac in the Mechanical King's Realm was not worthy of his name.
"What's that outside the window on the left?"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention and turned to look.
They saw a black-red line appearing outside the metal road in the distance, beating constantly...
Little by little improvement!
No, that's not a line!
But a group of mechanical rats!
It was running across the ground, black paste-like oil constantly overflowing from the gaps in the metal joints, quickly covering most of its body.
In the metal-structured body, under the influence of these mysterious black oils, red tendons and flesh and blood tissue began to grow, stacking up like lesions and forming granulations.
This half-mechanical, half-flesh structure not only looks extremely twisted,
What's even more terrifying is...
They seemed to be going crazy, their eyes were red, and they roared and turned into a black tide of rats.
Rushed towards the train!
