Upon receiving the message "No problems in April," Cheng Shuang felt completely at ease.
To avoid attracting attention, she carried a basket of fruit and walked behind a guide who came to pick up tea and snacks. She went out to the second floor in front of the guards, and then secretly put away the teapot lid from the guide's basket before taking the elevator.
The man felt a gentle breeze behind him, and his foot, which was about to step into the elevator, stopped. He looked back suspiciously, but the short man who had been following him was not there. Could it be that Luo had taken something?
Uninterested, he continued into the elevator, while at the same time, Cheng Shuang, using her height to block the guard's view and wearing an invisibility cloak, got off the elevator.
The elevator doors, which had been closed, opened again. The guide frowned, but remembering that the distinguished guests in the house were waiting for hot tea and snacks, he immediately put aside his thoughts and pressed the number button.
The Palace Consort's rare cloak card is surprisingly useful.
Cheng Shuang hid in the shadows, her inner voice secretly sighing at her bad luck.
[Rare Item - Atona's Prank Cloak: Atona is the most beloved daughter of Suqi, a grand mage, top alchemist, dragon knight, and holder of the first-class emblem of the Welldons Kingdom. Many times, the mischievous Atona has used her talent for pranks to successfully disturb her brothers' homework, causing them to be scolded by their parents and teachers and take the blame for her. To help the little rascal escape from her angry brothers, Suqi specially crafted a prank cloak for her daughter; once she wears it, no one can find where she's hiding.]
The little rascal who owns and uses the cape will receive his mother's loving blessing and his brothers' jealousy. If you don't have any brothers, then congratulations, you will be unstoppable on your path of mischief.
Note: Due to a lack of magical energy, the Mischief Cloak requires one Green Pill to be absorbed every three cycles of the Gate of Reincarnation. Each cycle of the Gate of Reincarnation can only be used three times.
The little girl decided that after she got back, she would touch Miss Gongzhu a few more times, hoping to benefit from the luck of the "Emperor of Fortune"!
Soon, the elevator doors opened, and a hurried guide stepped out, looking around with a dark expression.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shuang arrived at the gate ahead of time, pressed herself tightly against it, and waited for the other party to show their pass before using her small stature to swiftly slip through the crack in the door.
Since there was no one around, the guide didn't care about his image. He ran to the kitchen counter, filled a pot with hot water, grabbed a dish of tea leaves, and quickly left.
The little girl didn't take off her cloak; she observed the fruit first, her eyes landing on the sour oranges.
On the large tray, oranges were stacked into a small mountain, and as long as they were taken from top to bottom in an orderly fashion, they would never collapse. But someone just happened to pull two oranges from the bottom.
A landslide occurred at Orange Hill, and golden oranges rolled off the counter.
One mechanical beast was making sandwiches, while another emerged with a dundundun sound, bending down to deftly pick them up one by one.
The enormous creature lowered its body, and blue flames flickered. A stream of water flew in from nowhere and poured onto the flames.
The flames shot up as if doused with oil, then quickly shrank, the original fist-sized light becoming the size of a button, flickering on and off. The mechanical beast paused, its movements slowing down, and finally, like a rusty machine, it continued to complete its work haltingly.
Cheng Shuang bit her lip and looked at the half-full liquid in the soda bottle in her hand. It was colorless and odorless, yet it could extinguish the flames in the mechanical beast's eyes.
When they trapped Gongzhu, the little girl had some guesses.
Is that suction force directed at the maintainers, or at all living beings?
If it's only for maintainers, then what exactly is it?
After hesitating for a moment, the little girl sat behind the door where no one would approach. Holding the powder pill in one hand, she tilted the mouth of the soda bottle down with the other and carefully poured a small drop onto the back of her hand.
Holding her breath, Cheng Shuang was ready to put the medicine in her mouth at any moment. After a while, she relaxed and shook her hands. Apart from the liquid being a little warm, she felt nothing else, neither mentally nor physically.
Perhaps we haven't used enough?
The little girl simply poured some liquid into her palm, and it seeped out from between her fingers, but there was still no abnormality.
Why is it such a great threat to blue flames?
She touched the back of her hand in confusion, looking at the mechanical beasts that had finally managed to pick up the oranges, but which slowly got up and then fell through the gaps in her arms again. The root of the problem must still be the blue flames.
Flames are the foundation of the mechanical beasts' activities, and they can also harm the maintainers.
Cheng Shuang jumped up and, as the mechanical beast bent down to pick up oranges once again, walked around it and entered the assembly line on its side.
At this moment, the production line was empty, but her storage compartment contained local food that she had previously deliberately stored away.
The little girl took out a slice of toast that was already slightly frosty, broke it into pieces, and sprinkled it on the smooth countertop. The sound of it falling was like ice shards.
These ice fragments were hit by the water mist sprayed by the robotic arm and quickly melted into puddles, which were then wiped away by the hand.
Cheng Shuang covered her mouth in surprise and jumped up and down twice in joy.
If it can harm food with the Freeze property, does that mean it can also harm the exiles of the Abyss City?
Regardless of whether it's possible or not, we should collect everything we can, as long as there's hope.
There weren't many empty beverage bottles, so the little girl used whatever was available, grabbing the kettle on the counter and starting to work on the robotic arm.
Anyway, there are plenty of food items that are about to freeze in the storage compartment, so a little bit of bait is enough to lure the robotic arm out.
She dared not attack all the mechanical beasts, fearing that things would get too big and attract the attention of the suddenly arriving guide. She only targeted the one that had been damaged by the liquid and was now engulfed in flames. Every time it finished arranging the oranges, it would be destroyed by the little girl.
Only mecha beasts are willing to work hard without complaint or resentment. If it were an ordinary person, such a naughty and unruly child would be beaten to death.
There were only thirty kettles, and ten were filled. Finally, one of the guides who came and went noticed something was wrong with the mechanical beast and called the guards in.
Just then, Cheng Shuang stopped working. There were only about twenty maintainers in total, and she couldn't possibly use up all thirty pots.
The guard approached the mechanical beast to investigate the situation, then suddenly gasped. He raised his hand to look at the barely perceptible amount of wet liquid on his fingers. An excruciating pain shot through him, causing extreme panic to show on his otherwise expressionless face. He wiped the wetness away with his sleeve, then pulled down his sleeve, wrapped his clothes up, and threw them into the trash can.
The guide standing next to him had already taken a few steps back, looking as if he was still in shock.
The guard, dressed only in a thin shirt, cursed and spread his hands in a bad mood, revealing the cracked and blistering skin on his fingers that looked like burns. He tossed a sentence to the guide, "It's the Soul-Devouring Water that splashed out and got on the Soul-Stabilizing Artifact. The soul power is not enough." Then he took out a small black box the size of a palm with his good hand and fired it at the two weak and flickering flames.
A larger blue halo drifted out, seemingly confused and disoriented yet wanting to escape. However, the next second, the mechanical beast's blue eyes automatically absorbed it.
