Although he lost almost all his equipment during his last run away from home and armor, the automatic dwarf Xiao Hei still hid a scroll of "Transportation to another world" in his own mechanism structure for emergencies, and now he is It's time to enable it.
Within the 10 minutes it took to release the "Transportation" scroll, Tira roughly explained to Chen the reason for the collapse of their last adventure and the purpose of going to the Asta plane.
The main reason for the overturn was that, unlike the temporary adventure team that Chen Zhou joined last time, this team was made up of adventurers known as "Rogues".
In short, he is a person with almost no fighting ability. Even if he encounters enemies of the same level, he may be wiped out in a 4 vs. 1 situation.
After all, the Dorval Penguin is essentially a businessman rather than an adventurer. Although the Autodwarf can be used in combat, the monk profession conflicts with its body, resulting in its inability to display its true performance.
"It's unbelievable. The heart part of this automatic dwarf is actually a space hamster!"
During the conversation, Jerry, who has telepathy, was surprised to find the hamster that acted as the "heart" of the dwarf.
By running a wheel inside it, the energized space hamster powers the automaton's movements.
And "Xiao Hei" is also the name of the space hamster.
Chen Zhou was amazed: "It turns out that hamsters can really be used to drive machinery. Is this considered clean energy?"
After traveling for more than a year, he still couldn't understand the whims of the dwarfs.
"But this also resulted in my daily lack of energy. After all, as you know, the space hamster runs a basically fixed distance every day."
Xiao Hei complained helplessly: "Compared to the hamster, the designer should really give me an energy source with better battery life."
"This is so trendy!" The power provided by the space hamster may not be enough, but what if another creature...such as a dragon serves as its heart? 』
Lily caught up with the dwarf's brainstorm at an alarming speed, and was vaguely aware of its designer's original intention - to use the heart of the automatic dwarf as a replaceable part.
According to Xiao Hei, the hidden performance of its body is actually very powerful and scalable, but the space hamster cannot fully utilize it.
In other words, once better energy is invested, it can achieve performance comparable to that of a Gundam!
"But Lily doesn't want to ride on the rollers. 』
This is the biggest problem that limits the performance of Xiaohei. The rollers inside do not rotate mechanically, but step on different parts according to needs. It is more like a rotating dancing machine.
This makes it impossible to automate under normal circumstances.
Chen Zhou's mood was complicated. This automatic dwarf was really a work of genius with equally profound advantages and disadvantages...
"Speaking of hamsters, it's time for me to eat."
As a mechanism person, Xiao Hei also has the function of eating, and his only food is naturally rat feed. What he eats will be transported to the space hamster in the heart.
The same goes for drinking water.
Chen Zhou could no longer see through the brain circuitry of its creator: "It feels like your advantages can't cover up these fatal shortcomings at all."
"Don't worry, I heard that there is also a dwarf artificer in Asta. He should be able to help me modify it."
Xiao Hei felt very optimistic about this. The only person who knew dwarfs was a dwarf. Presumably another dwarf weapon master could greatly optimize himself.
"Like putting in a few more space hamsters?"
After all, space hamsters are not as bloody as their physical Muggle cousins, so even if they are caged together there will be no problem.
However, rather than optimizing Xiao Hei's performance, it really cares more about the other party's purpose in going to an endangered demiplane like Asta.
"Of course it's to get first-hand information for market research!" Tila explained excitedly.
According to the gossip of the Monopoly Alliance, a quasi-god has established a stronghold here. This means unlimited business opportunities and wealth. How can you not take risks?
In addition, her trip to Asta was also to investigate the legacy of the legendary Spellweaver and to evaluate the abuse of alchemy in this plane.
Some franchisees reported to the Monopoly Alliance that the plane was abusing alchemy and sending alchemical waste to their own country. This unethical approach aroused great dissatisfaction and disgust among them.
As the special envoy of the Monopoly Alliance, Tira's main purpose of this trip is to investigate the problem of Asta discharging garbage to other planes. If it cannot be properly handled, this may lead to a plane war.
"Discharging garbage to other planes... isn't that the Norton Kingdom to the south of us?"
"This is indeed excessive."
Chen Zhou then remembered the reason why the Norton Kingdom was not affected by the changes caused by the magic tide when they were in Asta. They simply threw the alchemical waste and the ooze monsters it formed into other worlds.
However, since the Norton Kingdom was at war with the orcs in the grassland all year round, he did not pay much attention to the other party to avoid being dragged into the mud by various diplomatic disputes.
"So are we going to investigate the Norton Kingdom in the Asta plane?"
"Of course that's right!" Penguin nodded proudly, "And we have to teach those goblins a lesson first, and resurrect my former teammates by the way!"
As a famous plane businessman, how could he be humbled in front of a mere goblin?
The Penguin of Dorval will definitely get back any losses he has suffered and any losses he has made!
Chen Zhou was amused: "You, a lantern holder, know how to resurrect?"
"don't know……"
Hearing this, Penguin lowered his round head shyly and took out a black and gold card that exuded a strong magical aura from his feathers.
It's just a small card, but it turns out to be a very advanced magic item!
"So, Chen, do you want to become a member?"
"ah?"
What kind of strange development is this?
Xiao Hei on the side sighed helplessly. In fact, Tila had been staring at the other person's money when they first met.
"Ahem, I'm not a money fan. Although this low-key, luxurious and connotative card is just a piece of paper, its function is not that simple."
This is the membership card of the Dorval Penguin Monopoly Alliance!
With the divine support of Goddess Woking, as long as money or valuable items are placed on it and the instructions are spoken, it can be sold to the Monopoly Alliance and recharge the membership card with penguin coins.
And these data, which are recharged as "Penguin Coins", can be used to cross many dimensional barriers and purchase goods and even spell-casting services from the monopoly alliance.
Of course, since transporting items requires energy, handling fees are inevitable.
But in an emergency, the goods and spellcasting services purchased with it can also become the key to everything.
Tila stretched out her round hand to Chen Zhou: "In short, do you want to become a member?"
She needs the commission to resurrect her teammates.
"No need to talk!" 』
The Dorval Penguin is a short, fat, flightless bird creature that looks and moves very much like a penguin. They are businessmen at heart, always looking for the next business opportunity. The transactions of Doval Penguins are always carried out in secret. Even if the things they buy and sell are neither illegal nor dangerous, they also like to do business in various dark streets and remote corners. Their costumes are usually flashy, but some like to wear just a hooded cloak. Dorval Penguin's group will be called the "Cartel"
Dorval Penguins are 3 feet tall on average and have brightly colored feathers. They don't have wings, but they have arms and little hands.
Dorval Penguins prefer to communicate telepathically through a form of telepathy they call "merging," in which two Dorval Penguins maintain a mental connection while both are telepathic with a third creature.
The Penguins of Dorval have their own pantheon, all of which are gods related to business and wealth, including Waukeen, Abbathor, and Zilchus. The Dorvar hope to become the greatest businessmen in the multiverse by worshiping these gods exclusively while not alienating or offending any of them.
