Chapter 456 Abandoned Zone 3
Yu Xunge drifted further and further away from the players and the mechanical race, like a traveler who decided to die alone, so he left the source of fire and his companions and went alone into the depths of the forest.
She's going to find B8017913!
She had learned something from Fat Goose: in this abandoned area, players would not die when their health points reached 0, but would lose their mobility and be thrown into the garbage mountain by the flying mechanical race patrolling the abandoned area.
The same applies to the Mech race.
After flying for five minutes, she couldn't help but stop in the air and look back.
Despite the distance, with her current eyesight, she could still see Fat Goose talking to Maple Syrup with a puzzled and amazed expression.
She could also recall the look of surprise and disapproval in Maple Syrup's eyes when she heard that Maple Syrup had decided to leave the main group.
Her reason, her instincts, her thinking ability—everything about her told her that she should stay.
No matter how strong or arrogant the mechanical race and the players were, they all tacitly chose to cease hostilities after arriving in the abandoned area, and even gathered together. This is something only the "weak" would do.
She didn't know what skills those advanced players used to obtain what information and warnings, but all signs pointed to the perilous nature of the abandoned area.
She had no motive or logic in searching for B8017913, or for a robot with whom she had spent less than 10 minutes in real time.
Even if L12187777 is more important than B8017913, at least if B8017913 and the pink robot L12187777 both fall into the water, she will definitely choose to save L12187777.
Despite this, Yu Xunge still set off.
When she is determined to do something, she can often find many reasons for herself.
For example, if other players discover that she has enough roast goose and precious ore, and that she can use her skills to create food that restores energy, she will inevitably be devoured. Leaving this dangerous place is the best option for her.
For example, new environments bring new puzzles. Her combat power is at the bottom level. When faced with danger or mystery, she is the best guinea pig, and she has no say whatsoever.
As for Maple Syrup? She could sense Maple Syrup's curiosity and attention towards her, but Maple Syrup was decisive and rational; if necessary, Yu Xunge could be sacrificed.
For example, she quite liked B8017913. This robot was clearly so smart and cunning, and she had even tricked it with time-based techniques, yet it still let her go.
She was certain that if B8017913 wanted to, it could trap her in that tunnel when the Inspector arrived, forcing her to turn back and face the "Inspector's Arrival."
But B8017913 gave her a push at the last moment, knocking her out of the tunnel.
For example, what if the garbage dump holds clues to leaving the abandoned area? Instead of staying there and scheming against other powerful figures, why not look for hope on your own?
Yu Xunge was bored on the road, so he came up with dozens of excuses for himself.
But when she finally arrived at the garbage mountain after a forty-minute journey, all the reasons in her mind faded away, leaving only her purest and most genuine emotion—curiosity.
In addition, L12187777 was also one of the reasons she embarked on her journey.
She actually discovered that when she and L12187777 parted ways, L12187777 already showed signs of awakening.
If the standard for eliminating a Mech race is their awakening, then L12187777 might not be far from being eliminated either.
She lit a match herself and heard the story of another match burning out, which made her unable to suppress her curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Standing at the foot of the garbage mountain, Yu Xunge used [Refurbish] again, combining all ten roasted geese in his hand with precious ore to create [Cyber Roasted Geese] of various qualities.
However, she wasn't in a hurry to eat. The recovery effect from the previous Cyber Roast Goose was still there, and she couldn't waste these roast geese.
Unfortunately, these roast geese weren't cooked by her personally, so the God of Cookery's buff effect couldn't be triggered.
Yu Xunge stuffed all the Cyber Roasted Goose into a temporary bag, making sure she could take a bite whenever she needed to, and then took off again to begin searching for B8017913 from the top of the garbage mountain.
This is actually an extremely difficult process.
Because the mechanical race has been reduced to garbage, regardless of its form or whether it still has consciousness, its information has become garbled.
Although each mechanical race has subtle differences, in Yu Xunge's eyes, they are like cats and dogs of the same breed; if one does not spend a long time with them, one cannot distinguish them at all.
As she passed by those abandoned mechanical creatures, almost every single one of them, as long as their vocal parts were still intact, would rapidly babble at her, as if confiding in her or trying to tell her something. Unfortunately, it was all in a language that Yu Xunge couldn't understand.
Yu Xunge flew atop the towering garbage mountain, gazing at the players in the distance who had become mere black dots. He sighed deeply and began to softly call out the name B8017913.
"B8017913?"
“B8017913…”
"That's so stupid... B8017913..."
Mechs would often fly by and drop several already destroyed players or mechs.
Yu Xunge didn't use any skills to steal anything from them. She didn't know how long she would have to stay here, and she didn't have much food to restore her energy, so she wanted to use her skills as little as possible.
The 9x9 Rubik's Cube in the air rotated slowly, emitting a soft white light.
Yu Xunge summoned the spirits atop Garbage Mountain.
"B8017913? Are you there?"
"Do you remember me? The one who brings wine and songs."
"B8017913? B8017913...B8017913!"
"Guest... that's enough..."
Yu Xunge steadied himself and looked down at the mechanical race member who had spoken.
All that's left is a semi-circular mechanical head, and the antenna on top is also only half intact. Fortunately, the eye screen and mouth are still there.
Yu Xunge landed beside it and sat down cross-legged.
An hour and a half had passed since she last ate Cyber Goose, and she felt weak again. It had been 14 hours since she entered the game.
She took out a D-grade cyber goose, took a bite, and then asked B8017913, "You don't seem too keen on talking to me."
She's passed through this area at least seven times!
She picked up the semi-circular head of B8017913 at least three times because it looked so much like B8017913. She even patted and hit it before, but it didn't react.
In the end, it was abandoned because I always felt that it shouldn't be in its normal form.
B8017913's voice remained gentle; instead of answering, it asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Yu Xunge frankly said, "I heard about the amazing things you did from other players, and I think you're incredible. I wanted to come and see you..."
"I want to ask you if you regret it or not."
