Chapter 983 There are still experts

The tin man Zila revealed his huge deposits, which made Lu Yao a little confused.

"You have so many gear teeth?"

“I saved it bit by bit.”

Zira said in a normal tone: "I have been here for many years. I am not good at making disaster bodies, but after 17,144 rounds of the century-long construction period, I don't like to waste, so I saved them up."

"At the beginning, I still had more gears, but after leaving Earth, my brain didn't work very well, and I was often cheated by other gear workers. Especially some senior gear workers, they said they hoped I would sponsor them some gears, so that they would go back and help me find Earth, and then come back to bring me news. Of course, none of them came back."

"I did have hope at first, but after many setbacks, I certainly saw through their tricks."

Rusty Goblethead said, "I thought, so what if I was deceived? I can't leave here anyway. Unless I find a way back to Earth, I have nowhere to go. If I can help them a little, it will be a good thing."

"You can lie to me, but you can't lie to me with words that sound perfunctory, right? Even though my brain isn't very useful, it's not completely useless."

Zila rambled on and on: "Later, I got tired of them and hid in the raw material mountain. Gradually, most of the shift workers who knew me left, and I came out again. Because the Yao tribe town is full of new outsiders, I moved here to join them and live a quieter life here."

Lu Yao suddenly realized.

No wonder Zila reacted so strongly at the beginning and said that he was not easy to be fooled.

The huge reserve of gear teeth is actually the hard-earned money from screwing each screw.

Lu Yao felt a bit sympathetic after hearing this: "I'll take you back to my hometown this time. It's changed a lot there now, but you're a little overweight, you need to lose some weight... My starting point may not be able to withstand it. It's not as solid as Xuzhou, it's much more fragile."

“That’s no problem.”

Zila began to spin rapidly in place, and iron filings peeled off from its surface, as if it was being polished by an invisible robotic arm.

Its size became smaller and smaller, and the large amount of iron filings that were peeled off were quickly absorbed by the ground, and it finally shrank to a height just reaching Lu Yao's waist.

Zila's overall appearance has not changed much, his head is still a wine glass head, with an iron lid like a wide-brimmed hat on top, and his body is an iron ball that acts as a steering wheel. The head and body are connected, maintaining a wonderful balance.

Although its weight has been greatly reduced, considering the high density of pure iron, Lu Yao still feels it is a bit mysterious.

I don’t know if the old house I live in can withstand this little tank.

Lu Yao asked: "Can you be a little gentler?"

“It’s already at its minimum state now.”

Zila said: "I transformed my body into a hollow one and discarded all unnecessary things in my head. Now my weight is similar to your body, but slightly heavier."

Lu Yao felt relieved.

Then comes the next question.

Gear teeth cannot be traded directly. In the past, Zila sponsorship was also through redemption. The most commonly redeemed item was [Life Limit] which could increase the upper limit of lifespan.

This is a black round stone that looks like a chess piece. There is a word "Nirvana" on the front, and the back represents the number of lifespans bestowed by Nirvana itself. The lowest is 1, and there is no upper limit.

Lu Yao took it in his hand and played with it.

It feels similar to wood, and if you press it hard on your body, it will irreversibly turn into a "Nirvana" tattoo.

This is a traditional trading item among the high-level wheelwrights in the disaster area. Regardless of the type of universe they are in, wheelwrights, as living beings, are mostly faced with the constraints of their life cycles.

Shouxian Nirvana is a treasure that can extend one's life, and it is also a specialty evolved from the disaster-stricken land.

However, because it is too expensive, only high-level gear workers can afford to exchange it - [Life Limit Nirvana] 1 year of life requires 1,000 gear teeth, and multiple ones can be stacked.

This special substance can give the holder extra life, allowing him to continue life when his own life cycle is exhausted, and it is effective in all spaces and bodies.

The risk is that it can be destroyed, so the holder will print it on a part of the body that is not easily found and well protected.

Lu Yao’s understanding of this is that it is an external life support device.

In the past, Zila sponsored others mostly by purchasing [Life Limit Nirvana]. This treasure can be exchanged for a large amount of high-level raw materials to make high-level medium bodies, and this roundabout way can be used to exchange for gear teeth.

Lu Yao felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble and asked Zila to directly exchange for [Polycystic Complex].

A moment later, Zila's hood popped open, and a large ball of wrinkled, strange black matter flew out, expanding and floating in the air.

This thing that looks like dried seaweed is the polycystic complex that Double Tail praised so much.

Takumi analyzed it immediately.

"My lord, this [polycystic complex] is in a dormant state, highly contracted and solidified. It needs to be given enough energy to reactivate it. I suggest transporting it back to the Yao clan and infusing it with magic energy. This is low-cost and allows for better control of the dosage and subsequent maintenance."

Lu Yao agreed with this.

He turned to Zila and said, "Then let's go back now. Are you ready?"

Since the other party is so sincere, you have to fulfill your promise in a timely manner.

"I'm ready." The Tin Man's voice was a little shaky.

Lu Yao suddenly thought of one more thing.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to say goodbye to a friend."

He found Naruto in the work area.

The dwarves were still struggling to turn the sun wheel and soften the embryo.

It is full of energy: "Li Si, where have you been recently? Aren't you working overtime? We have finally come here, we must earn enough before going back."

"When we get back, we'll buy an entire UFO island! A small one, there's actually a chance."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll visit you then."

"Hahahaha, it's just that Miss Theresa is still a little bit behind, but who knows? Maybe I can really do it." The dwarf said while working: "What are you doing recently?"

"I've been feeling lazy lately."

"Being lazy is not a good thing, man, come on."

"Well. I'll get busy then."

Lu Yao originally thought of a lot of things to say, but in the end he didn't say a word.

He glanced back at the dwarf who was still concentrating on his work.

So goodbye, Naruto.

…

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Yao returned to the familiar bed.

He slowly stood up, walked to the computer desk in his slippers, picked up the glass and took a sip of tea.

The tea is not cold yet.

One year in the disaster zone is only a dozen minutes on the real Earth.

After Lu Yao sobered up a little, he started to operate.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He fixed his gaze on the sky above the Sea of ​​Xirang.

Takumi has found Zira and placed it on a dark star, and then it returned to the disaster area - now it is completely indispensable there.

On the pixel screen, the Iron Man is a strange entity made up of an iron wine glass and an iron ball. It has a pair of eyes and looks like some kind of robot.

Lu Yao took out an apostle mark from the prop bar and dropped it on its head.

An exclamation mark appeared above Zila's head, and after a flash of white light, he had a new identity.

A dialog box appeared above its head: "Lord Yaoshen... when can we return to Earth?"

Lu Yao told it not to be anxious.

——Return to the temple first and you can be teleported here.

Zira's data panel is inconspicuous among the apostles.

But it has a few nice abilities.

…

【Metallic elements】

[Magnet Secret LV99]

It can use itself as a basis to manipulate the magnetic force within the radiation range and control magnets. The effect is related to the level of this ability and its own health.

【High Temperature Life】

High temperatures will activate the life's excited state, while low temperatures will cause it to fall into depression and low spirits, or even fall into complete sleep.

…

Because the gear teeth cannot be brought into the outside world and will be emptied once leaving the disaster area, Zira used his remaining savings to raise the secret level of the magnet to the maximum, and the rest was exchanged for a small amount of [Lifespan Nirvana] given to the satellite Takumi to reward the outstanding Yao tribe wheelwrights in the town.

Zila appeared in Lu Yao's house.

This time Lu Yao was well prepared and placed the keyboard and mouse on the floor to prevent them from collapsing the table - it was not as light as Isabel.

The Tin Man shivered slightly. "It's so cold."

It looked left and right and rolled cautiously on the ground.

As a result, the floor tiles that were already cracked were crushed into several pieces.

Lu Yao pinched his nose.

Forget it, I’ll find another way to make up for it myself.

However, in order to take Zila out to see the world, some preparations need to be completed.

Lu Yao borrowed a cardboard box from Harrow, put it on the tin man, and wrapped it with tape, so that it looked like a low-quality shell made of cardboard. He also drew a screen on the cardboard with an oil pen, thus completing the basic disguise.

Then Lu Yao held his phone, put on a Bluetooth headset, and took Zila, who was in the form of a cardboard man, down the stairs. The iron ball crushed some cement fragments on the stairs.

Lu Yao’s plan was to hold his mobile phone and pretend that he was controlling the clumsy DIY robot.

This way it's easy to cover up if someone asks.

But in reality, no one cares.

Because there are experts nearby.

A man was riding a modified baby stroller, wearing a motorcycle helmet, and was racing slowly. Two other children were chasing him in baby strollers, starting a street chase. Many other children were following behind, running wildly with excitement.

An ostrich appeared from nowhere on the street, running around briskly. A police car behind it was trying to stop it, which attracted a large number of onlookers to take pictures.

In the parking space next to it, three girls in short skirts and long legs were dancing Korean dance in front of a mobile phone fixed on a selfie stick. Male audiences of all ages stopped here, with knowing and happy smiles on their faces.

There were three people doing this on an ordinary street. Lu Yao, disguised as Zila in a cardboard box, became the least noticeable one and was basically ignored.

Zila's voice came from the headset: "Why has the earth become like this now?"

"Welcome back to Earth, this is what it is like now."

Lu Yao smiled and pretended to operate his cell phone.

His eyes couldn't help but drift to the speed racers, the ostriches and the dancing long-legged girls.

I'm just a passerby, and to be honest, I prefer to watch their side.
