Linnaeus replied, "It's just an ordinary strange realm."
Shirley asked in confusion, "Then what are we doing here?"
Linnaeus: "You'll find out soon enough. Keep driving."
Sherry remained silent after hearing this and did not ask any further questions. She continued driving forward according to the route Linna had indicated.
After driving a few more kilometers, we passed through a vast expanse of Gobi Desert and rift valleys, where everything remained desolate.
Continuing onward, we finally came into view a huge mechanical factory building.
Shirley was stunned; she hadn't expected such a thing to exist here!
Linnaeus and Yewan'er had already gotten off the bus and were walking towards the factory.
Shirley frowned, a complicated expression on her face, and seeing this, she could only silently follow.
The three entered the factory and walked through one large and small workshop after another, which was like a maze, but they did not see a single person.
However, Linnai saw that the mechanical devices were still running and many of the marks were new, so he knew that someone must have been here not long ago.
On the shelves in the workshop, there are several assembled soul energy cannons, as well as some other high-tech weapons.
And those huge alchemical storage jars that originally contained the corpses of monsters now actually contain some purple fungus?
Lin Nai thought to himself, "It seems that the old guy hasn't been staying in this factory all these years. He must have occasionally returned to the human plane and brought back some purple fungus samples for research."
"Hey! Jill! Are you there?!" Linna called out.
Shirley was stunned when she heard the name, and turned her head to look at him blankly.
Chicken...chicken?
Linnaeus's voice echoed in the empty factory workshop.
About thirty seconds later.
Finally, a mechanical door suddenly opened on the ground.
Amidst the sound of a series of mechanical axles turning.
An old man, emaciated, with a mechanical arm and completely bald, rose out of the underground passage.
But this old guy was carrying a... rocket launcher on his shoulder?
"Who are you?" Jill stared warily at Linnaeus and the others, aiming the rocket launcher at them. "How did you get here? Why do you know my name? What is your purpose? Are you trying to infiltrate my factory?"
Linna: "...I'm your boss."
"Bullshit!" Jill cursed. "My scumbag boss died three years ago! I just offered incense for him a couple of days ago!"
Linnaeus: "...?"
"...No, how did he become a scumbag?"
Jill curled her lip and muttered, "That damn scumbag bastard, three years ago he pretended to admire my research and used sweet talk to trick me out of all the thousands of monsters and undead I had collected!"
"Thousands of monsters and undead! Those are treasures I've collected for years! I was originally going to use them for research, but this guy insisted on putting them in some Sea of the Dead, and even promised to give me research funding so I could work for him. In the end, he just left and died. Isn't he a scumbag?!"
Linnaeus: "..."
"Enough with the nonsense," Jill said coldly. "You dare to trespass into your grandfather's factory? You're asking for death! Die, intruders!"
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, giving Linna and the others no chance to explain, and fired the rocket launcher on his shoulder!
"boom!"
"Whoosh—"
Lin Nai stood there speechlessly, not moving.
At night, she raised her hand and made a fist in the air with her five fair and slender fingers.
The incoming rocket seemed to be caught in mid-air by an invisible hand, suddenly stopping and unable to move forward even an inch.
Immediately afterwards, the surface of the rocket launcher was gradually crushed, making a "crackling" sound, and finally exploded with a "boom!"
“…” Jill’s eyes widened, she swallowed hard, and then sneered, “Oh ho, not bad… But that was just an ordinary weapon, nothing special!”
He then took out a remote control and pressed a red button.
"Boom!"
Four giant mechanical monsters parked in the corner of the factory suddenly awoke and surrounded Linna and his companions from all sides.
Jill sneered, "I've equipped these mechanical monsters with my latest high-level soul energy pulse weapons. In terms of destructive power alone, they can even rival a first-stage demon of the Myriad Manifestations Realm! You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jill's eyes widened again.
The mechanical monsters were acting like monsters, their bodies trembling back and forth, making a crackling sound, as if their systems had malfunctioned.
Jill stared in disbelief: "What...what's going on?"
Linnaeus said, "Because these mechanical monsters of yours are ultimately controlled by the network. It seems you built your own signal tower near this factory?"
Jill stared wide-eyed: "You're a superhuman hacker?!"
Lin Nai waved her hand across her face, restoring her original appearance, and said with a resentful look in her eyes, "I told you, I'm your boss, your sugar daddy..."
......
"You...you're really Boss Linnai??"
Jill stood beside Linnaeus, circling around him and scrutinizing his face from all angles. She even reached out and pinched his cheek: "You're not an imposter, are you? There shouldn't be a fake face hidden under this skin, right?"
Linnaeus: "Who else but us would know about this godforsaken place?"
“That’s not necessarily true.” Jill pouted. “This place used to be known only to Lieutenant Li and me. But you and Miss Night discovered it later, didn’t you?”
Linnaeus: "So you can be sure now, right?"
“This…” Jill withdrew her hand, scratched her head, and stammered, “Holy crap… no, weren’t you dead a long time ago? Could it be that you came back to life because I offered incense to you a few days ago?”
Linnaeus: "Who told you I was dead?"
Jill: "The news I saw back then showed footage of you being sucked into a dimensional rift! Was that footage a composite video??"
Lin Nai: "No, that scene was real. It's just that we were lucky and survived after wandering around the void world."
Jill was even more dumbfounded: "You survived circling around in the void?!"
"Alright, I don't have time to chat with you today." Lin Nai said seriously, "Take me to that spatial portal in the basement of your factory."
