Chapter 73
On this day, Wu Jian was watering the saplings in the greenhouse. Yes, these three saplings were the giant tree seedlings that he thought had not grown.
A few days ago, I suddenly went to see the place where the giant tree seeds were planted, and found that three seeds had sprouted.
Seeing this, Wu Jian asked someone to help build a greenhouse and raised the seedlings in it.
The old people in the laboratory heard that the giant tree had sprouted, so they came to check it out every two or three days. If there were not only three trees, they would probably have pulled out the young ones and studied them thoroughly.
Wu Jian couldn't help laughing when he thought of the old people playing tricks on him.
Just as he put down the kettle, he heard the sound of a light computer machine in his mind.
[Training Ground No. 07 is about to open. Please be prepared, players. You will enter the training ground in one hour.]
Wu Jian returned to the villa and pressed the button to enter the training ground.
As soon as he entered the game, a very large robot appeared in front of him, holding a heavy sword in its hand and staring into the distance with a firm look in its eyes.
Behind the robot is a huge city. This city is mostly composed of machines, but it is now covered with vines and has become a home for small animals.
Robots act like guards, quietly protecting the city.
Wu Jian looked at the deer that jumped past him. It turned out that half of its body was mechanical. When it jumped, it had a lightning tail behind it. How come it looked a bit cool?
He clicked on the panel and the small map on it was already opened.
From a God's perspective, the city is very large. Half of the land is covered with buildings. This shows how strong the construction capabilities of the mecha civilization are.
Mechanical City: This is the old city of the Mecha Civilization. Three hundred years ago, the Mecha Civilization was attacked by an unknown force, leading to the largest war in the planet's history. Power was cut off, the machines could no longer function properly, and countless Mechas were slaughtered. Severely damaged, the planet's inhabitants were forced to relocate.
The city is temporarily sealed, but the energy within remains intact. Upon entering the city, players of the mecha civilization can replenish their energy, such as mecha gasoline and other beverages. Additionally, players of other civilizations can find energy stones, energy crystals, and food in the city.
[Here are the silent guardians, they used to be the protectors of this city. After being attacked by unknown forces, they ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep.
Before leaving, the researchers who developed the Watcher accidentally left the Mechanical Heart behind. If a player finds
, you can open the Mechanical Heart and force the Watcher to open and receive its protection.
In addition, there are dangers of unknown origin here, so players are advised to protect themselves as much as possible when performing tasks.
(Warm Tip: Even mecha civilizations are not allowed to migrate to this planet. Be careful of sneak attacks from unknown forces. They are very fond of energy and have certain destructive power. Players should proceed with caution.)
[Watcher No. 1: A silent knight, it will silently protect you from behind. The prerequisite is to find the Mechanical Heart to increase its energy and activate the protection mechanism.]
[Main task: find the energy cube and unlock the mechanical heart.]
Wu Jian glanced at the giant robot in front of him. This should be the Watcher that the optical computer mentioned. However, doesn't the Watcher look a little too old?
When he was about to go up to see what the traces on it were, he felt danger coming from behind and quickly pushed aside.
Is that a dog? But its back end is a mecha. Are all the creatures in the mecha city this cool?
"Wang!"
Wu Jian waved at the puppy: "Hey, Xiu Gou, want some bones?"
He took out a big bone from the space in his bracelet and threw it to the mechanical dog.
The mechanical dog sniffed, wagged its tail, and began to gnaw on the bone while lying on the ground. From the crunching sound, it was obvious how good its teeth were.
If this bites someone, won’t they be crippled?
Wu Jian moved to the side and found that the mechanical dog only glanced at him and did not come forward to bark at him. He quickly left the city gate and entered the city.
Since the city has been abandoned for hundreds of years, it has been covered by plants. It is similar to the city on Insect Island, but it is larger and the buildings are more majestic.
As he stepped into the city, he saw many robots in front of him.
They were in the same posture, holding heavy swords of various lengths in their arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
I wonder how shocking it would be if they were activated at the same time.
Wu Jian walked through the museum-like exhibition area and came to another area.
There are very large pink rotating dolls here.
Wu Jianfei took a closer look. It should be a large amusement park. However, the equipment inside seemed to have been dismantled, leaving only the giant puppet in front of him.
The doll is very big, and its facial features are inlaid with stones of unknown texture. From a distance, it looks like a smiling girl.
Wu Jian flew in and stood on the doll's head, and could see the
City.
Just as he jumped and looked into the distance, he noticed something flashing in front of him with his peripheral vision. He quickly retracted his gaze and looked around the amusement park.
In the amusement park, the only sound that makes a creaking sound is when the wind blows over the doll under you. I don’t know if this strange sound is caused by loose parts on the doll.
Aside from the puppet's strange noise, there seemed to be nothing else. So what was that thing that just passed through my eyes?
Wu Jian did not take it lightly. He stood on a high place and observed the situation around him.
Soon, he discovered that there were many black holes on the ground, which looked like round holes cut out of steel pipes.
Wu Jian took a quick glance and thought carefully. There seemed to be no black hole just now. How could it suddenly appear?
Wu Jian was sure that there was no black hole in the surrounding area just now.
It came out of nowhere.
I didn't seem to have touched any mechanism, so how could this thing suddenly appear?
Wu Jian felt something was wrong, so he lowered his flying altitude and looked into the black hole.
He felt that there was something inside the black hole, a dark mass, and he didn't know what it was.
At this moment, a black thing jumped out and almost pounced on his face, but luckily he dodged quickly.
Seeing that it failed to knock Wu Jian down, the thing turned its head and dived into the black hole, so fast that it could not be locked onto by the eyes.
Wu Jian slightly increased his flying altitude, thinking that at his height, the thing would not be able to attack him even if it had wings.
He was slapped in the face the next second. That thing could not only attack Wu Jian, but also increase its speed to attack him. Its tail was hit, and dazzling sparks were produced.
The scales feel hot and stinging.
Wu Jian held his tail and took a look. There were slight scratches on the surface, but they were not very obvious.
This thing's attack power is quite strong, it should be dangerous.
Wu Jian tapped the computer and asked, "Can you scan out what it is?"
【The system cannot recognize it.】
Wu Jian: "...What's the use of you?"
[The system has been offline, players please wait. ]
Wu Jian: "No, are all the optical computers in your mecha civilization so willful? You've already started work, so how can you skip work early? I'm going to report you!"
The optical computer did not answer Wu Jian.
After cursing for a while, Wu Jian stared at the black hole and saw a discarded pipe next to it. It had a U-shaped head on the front, which looked a bit like
The hammer is heavy in his hand, but it does not affect his control.
Stand on top of the black hole with a tube in hand, and when you see something black coming out, hit it with a stick and you can hear a solid sound.
Wu Jian tossed the pipe in his hand and said, "It's quite convenient."
No matter where the black thing came out from, Wu Jian would hit it with a pipe, just like playing whack-a-mole.
Wu Jian fought very smoothly, hitting the thing behind him almost every time it came out, and the thing behind him didn't dare to show its head.
"Don't dare to come out? Weren't you quite capable just now? Come on, let's continue the fight!"
Wu Jian stayed in front of the black hole for a long time, but the creatures didn't come out again. He felt bored and just as he dropped the tube, the creatures came out again.
Wu Jian was so angry that he laughed.
"You're playing with my patience, okay? Today I'm going to pull you out and see what you're made of!"
Wu Jian held the pipe and sat on the head of the doll, staring at the black hole. As long as something came out, he would hit it directly and make a banging sound.
To be honest, he shed tears for that black thing.
Before I knew it, the sky had darkened and I could see a huge planet printed on the horizon. This place must be very close to other planets, as I could see distant planets from such a close distance.
Wu Jian was tired of fighting, so he simply blocked all the black holes, leaving only one hole. He started a fire next to the hole, and white smoke flew into the black hole.
This is the technique he learned to catch rabbits from his adoptive father when he was a child. He hopes it will work on this little creature.
Wu Jian started to fan manually, and white smoke floated into the black hole.
After a while, white smoke began to escape from the blocked black hole, and something approached the only hole he had left. As it darted out, Wu Jian's claws grabbed the small thing.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
Wu Jian picked up the little thing and took a look. Unexpectedly, it was a mouse, but it was different from ordinary mice.
The mouse's tail was mechanical, occasionally flashing a red light, and its limbs were also mechanical, even its front teeth.
He put the pipe against the mouse's big teeth, and with a click, the pipe was bitten through.
"My teeth are fine."
Wu Jian shook the mouse. It was already uncomfortable being hung there, and after being shaken like this, it fainted.
"You're not scared at all, are you? You fainted already?"
Wu Jian felt a little unbelievable, so he found a space box and threw the mouse into it.
Go in and leave the amusement park.
I didn’t expect that there was a big pool behind the amusement park. The water was dark and had a bad smell.
Wu Jian couldn't stand the smell, so he moved to the side and was not standing in the wind. The smell was not very strong and was barely acceptable.
I sniffed forward and it smelled a bit like gasoline. Could it be the energy-replenishing drink used by the mecha civilization?
As Wu Jian got closer, the smell became stronger and stronger. Only gasoline had such a pungent smell.
He touched his nose and turned away.
But halfway through, he returned. He was holding an oversized bucket filled with oil, a emerald blue. It looked quite nice.
Wu Jian put nearly ten barrels into the space on his bracelet. After he was done, his whole body smelled of gasoline.
He could only wipe the gasoline smell off his body with wet wipes as he walked. But no one told him that this kind of gasoline can't be washed off?
Even after rubbing the scales until they were pink, the smell still didn't go away. It was barely tolerable, but Wu Jian decided to give up on it. Otherwise, the more he did, the more he'd start to feel this strange smell all over his body.
Wu Jian flew to the next place, but heard a faint sound of screaming.
It's inevitable to feel a little scared when you suddenly hear such a strange sound at night.
Wu Jian listened attentively.
At this moment, a hand appeared from the corner, pale and looking extremely creepy.
Wu Jian was startled at first, but after looking carefully and realizing it was a person, he approached the person.
This man has white hair and his body is covered with mecha shapes and many wounds. I don’t know what he has been through, but he is covered with wounds.
Wu Jian flew down, squatted beside the man, and tilted his head.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The man managed a muffled groan.
Wu Jian said, "I'll help you up, don't try to sneak attack me, or I'll chop your head off!"
The man hummed softly.
Wu Jian struggled to help the man up and leaned him against the wall, only then could he see the man's face clearly.
He is quite handsome, with strong features and blue-gray eyes. When he gazes at people, there is always a sense of deep affection.
The man took a breath, covered the wound on his abdomen, and said to Wu Jian, "Thank you."
Wu Jian asked curiously, "How did you get yourself into this state? Is there a cure?"
The man shook his head and said, "Can you lend me one?
, I will return it to you as soon as I find my things."
Wu Jian thought for a moment and said, "What's your name? Where can I find you to get the cure back? What if you lie to me?"
"Phil."
Wu Jian read it several times and nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it. Here, for you."
After drinking the healing potion, Phil's wounds healed. However, the damaged areas, filled with armor, could not automatically repair themselves like the human body, and a path of electric sparks could be seen inside.
Wu Jian looked at the wires inside his skin and asked, "Doesn't this need to be fixed?"
Phil explained, "Try not to stay in this place for too long. Find a safe place and I will fix it myself."
Wu Jian asked in confusion, "What on earth happened to you? You are so badly injured."
"Little dragon, this place is not as simple as you think. Follow me."
Wu Jian tilted his head: "Do you know me?"
Phil was shocked: "You don't know me?"
Wu Jian shook his head.
Phil twitched his lips. "Don't you use StarNet? You don't even know me?"
Wu Jian flew behind him. "I don't go online very often, and when I do, I usually just follow the hot topics on Star Network. I think I've come across the name Phil before, but I can't remember who it was."
Phil didn't say anything more. It was useless to say anything more. The little dragon had no impression of him at all and was sad.
"Let's go, find a safe place, don't hang around outside."
The two found a room from which they could see what was happening below.
Phil searched the room skillfully and soon found a lot of things.
He curled his lips and said with some disdain: "Forget it, this can barely be used."
Wu Jian watched Phil dismantle his mechanical skin to repair the routes inside, and sat next to him.
"Are you mechas or humans? I'm really curious."
"Well, we can barely be considered human. After all, we still have human emotions."
Wu Jian squatted beside him, propping up his chin, staring at his movements with crimson eyes and asked, "Do you feel any pain?"
"Most people don't. Pain is like a virus invading a chip, so people are used to canceling it out."
Wu Jian couldn't help but sigh with envy.
"No pain, it feels so good. Is it because fighting doesn't hurt and I can just keep charging forward?"
Phil laughed and said, "Why
"That's not possible. There are also drawbacks to not having pain, like running out of energy, losing health, and so on. Some things are so severe that they can't be repaired, leaving you waiting for death. Furthermore, eliminating pain requires a lot of effort. Reducing some emotions and being too mechanical can lead to being controlled by the system."
Wu Jian scratched his head. "You don't have to explain it so clearly. What if someone gets hold of something against you?"
Phil paused and looked at Wu Jian meaningfully.
Wu Jian was confused by his gaze and asked doubtfully, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, Moss is right, you're special. However, I still have to warn you, soft-hearted little one, you won't survive this competition. Especially in the Mechanical City. Three hundred years ago, this place was attacked by an unknown force, which led to the planet being reclaimed only now. There are many potential dangers here."
First, don't trust anyone. There are pseudo-anthropomorphic machines here that change their appearance based on each person and disguise themselves as that person.
Second, when you hear the warning sound, go back into the house immediately.
Remember these two things, the stuff here is dangerous."
Wu Jian stared at Phil and said warily, "You've described it so carefully, are you secretly an anthropomorphic machine?"
Phil laughed. "If I were an anthropomorphic machine, you would have died when I helped me up. How can you still stand here and talk to me?"
"Why are you telling me all this? Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me when you are doing the mission."
"I just like you. Besides, you saved me. I, Phil, am an ungrateful person."
Wu Jian was dazzled by the electric sparks in his body and could hardly see other things clearly. He stood up and leaned against the wall. After his vision recovered, he glanced at the empty street below and continued to watch him repair the route.
"Did you see two Blue Star people with crew cuts along the way?"
Phil shook his head. "When I was pulled in, I met the anthropomorphic machine. After that, I met you. I didn't see anyone else."
Wu Jian let out a disappointed sound.
Phil continued, "Although I didn't see anyone else, there was quite a bit of movement at the suspension station. There should be people there. But I have to warn you, try not to go there. There are so many people there, and I'm not sure if your friends are there."
Wu Jian said, "Thank you. I'll consider it. But where do you plan to go after you get better?"
Phil thought for a moment, wiped off the excess dirt on the mecha's skin, and said, "It should go to the south. I feel there is something there. Otherwise, you and
Let me form a team and I can take you flying."
Wu Jian looked at Phil with suspicion.
Phil blushed a little, "What's that look? I just made a mistake this time and was ambushed."
Wu Jian shook his head and said, "Oh, is that so? Let me think about it."
In fact, Wu Jian was secretly slandering Phil in his heart. He was obviously a very handsome man when he didn't speak, so why did he feel so conspicuous when he opened his mouth?
Wu Jian was very confused.
Phil didn't feel at all that Wu Jian's filter for him was shattered, and he was still looking forward to teaming up with the little dragon tomorrow.
late at night.
The deserted city seemed increasingly dead, with only occasional flickering lights visible in the sky.
Judging from the different lights, there should be people moving around over there, but I don’t know what they encountered. The light of the laser gun kept flickering.
Wu Jian lay on the windowsill, wondering if He Nuo would come in this time. Would he be wearing a vest again?
Thinking of this, Wu Jian turned his head to look at Phil, who was drinking a gasoline drink, repairing his mecha skin, occasionally humming a little song, and his whole body was in rhythm.
Feeling Wu Jian's gaze, Phil looked towards Wu Jian and looked at him with a questioning look.
Wu Jian turned his head and looked out the window.
He once again rejected the idea that Phil was He Nuo.
No matter how much He Nuo disguises himself, he will always maintain an inexplicable nobility. Besides, most people wouldn't dare to consume too much gasoline, right?
Also, he is obviously a handsome guy, but he uses that handsome face to do actions that are not suitable for a handsome guy. It is really a bit eye-catching. What's going on?
Wu Jian sighed, got up and scratched his head.
Phil watched the little dragon cub's movements and asked in confusion, "Can't you sleep?"
"Don't you know anyone in the mecha civilization?"
Phil shook his head: "No, almost everyone in the mecha civilization knows me."
Wu Jian asked curiously, "Can you tell me your identity? I'm really curious."
"Hey, guess what?"
Wu Jian: ...
No, doesn't it mean that every planet has its own conspicuous bag? Why does Phil deserve a beating?
The people in the live broadcast room were almost laughing like crazy.
I was wondering who the little dragon cub had met, and suddenly there were so many people in the livestream room. Turns out he'd met the little prince of the mecha civilization. Phil is probably the most approachable little prince, he has so many fans.
[Hahaha, as everyone knows, Phil aspires to be an interstellar idol
He's been a livestreamer since he was little, and he's quite popular and good-looking, even making the list of the most handsome guys in StarCraft. Unfortunately, he's too conspicuous, so he was squeezed out of the top five.
[What idol? He's clearly a comedian. I've seen his live streams, they're hilarious.]
The mecha civilization is notoriously taciturn, preferring to research mechanical things. The little prince's sister is a renowned genius, long considered the future king of the mecha civilization. Phil, however, feels no pressure and dreams of becoming a star. He often skips classes, frequently having his parents called in, and even became a trending topic on Starnet.
[Hahaha, I saw that too. Phil is a bit of a jerk, but it's also hilarious. However, I do admire him for being able to withstand the pressure and do what he loves. Plus, he's approachable and doesn't put on airs, so the mecha researchers don't reject him and actually like him. His popularity is the highest in the mecha civilization, aside from his sister.]
Wu Jian didn't know that there were many more fans of Phil in his live broadcast room, and he was still talking to Phil.
What is the content of the conversation?
Wu Jian had a slight heart attack, but Phil was fine.
"Is your male mother here this time? I want to buy a crystal from him to be my Newman."
"Ah? What is that?" Wu Jian asked.
When talking about his favorite things, Phil immediately became excited and patiently explained to Wu Jian the origin of this thing.
"A Newman is a relatively sophisticated and complex microphone that transmits sound. I'd like to buy a crystal and have it custom-made. If Brother He can take the order and help me make it, that would be even better. I've seen him make the dragon cub model for you, and it's perfect, even better than the craftsman I hired. If he can take the order, I'll accept any price you offer."
Wu Jian was so envious that he was tired of saying that rich people were different and could name any price they wanted.
What made him most envious was that He Nuo was already a man with no shortage of money, so why were there still people chasing after him to give him money?
It’s a pity that his carving skills are so poor, otherwise he could have taken it!
Uh, but there is still a crystal missing.
Ugh, life is hard.
"I don't know where he is."
Phil was shocked and asked, "Aren't you guys always stuck together in the training ground?"
Wu Jian said quietly, "It's not that I don't want to find him. But he changes his identity so often that I can't find him at all!"
Phil paused, a little embarrassed, "It seems so. I told you the same thing, He Ge is too cold. I sent him a private message, but unfortunately he didn't reply.
"I. Little Dragon, please tell him for me. I can give you a share of the profits after the success."
Wu Jian pricked up one ear.
"What? Give me a share. Well, let me think about it."
Phil nodded.
"Promise."
Wu Jian's crimson eyes rolled around.
"It's a bit bad, after all, it's the result of Brother He's hard work. I just moved my lips, um... not good, not good."
Phil really wanted Newman's microphone. When he heard Wu Jian refuse, he quickly said, "How about fifty thousand... no, one hundred thousand star coins?"
Wu Jian: "Deal!"
Phil:?
Wu Jian rubbed his hands and said, "I promise to complete the task for you. Don't forget our agreement. The audience in the live broadcast room are witnesses."
Phil smiled and said, "I keep my word. How could I possibly forget it?"
Wu Jian felt very happy. One hundred thousand, that was one hundred thousand star coins. For a poor guy like him, one hundred thousand was a huge sum of money.
Thinking about the huge sum of 100,000 yuan, Wu Jian fell asleep.
On the other side, in a deep tunnel, someone couldn't help but sneeze and turned on the light brain to check the movements of a cub.
In the video, the little cub is lying somewhere and sleeping soundly.
He leaned against the wall, looked at the cub in the video, then took a nutrient solution and poured it into his mouth.
Even though the nutritional supplement didn't taste good, he swallowed it without changing his expression.
When the little dragon cub falls asleep, it likes to sleep on its back, showing its little fangs and occasionally making little bubbles, which is very cute.
The little dragon cub turned over, and the small quilt with the little dragon cub Q-board pattern printed on it fell off.
At this time, a pair of hands appeared in front of the camera, picked up the quilt and covered the little dragon cub.
He Nuo thought it was Xiao Longzai's teammate, but a strange man's face appeared in front of the camera, and he was not Xiao Longzai's teammate.
He Nuo frowned.
The white-haired man turned his head to look at the camera, and the next second, the camera was covered.
He Nuo turned off the laptop, turned around and walked back.
——
The next day, early in the morning, Wu Jian got up and stretched. It was already dawn outside.
He jumped off the balcony and found that Phil was gone.
Thinking Phil had left and preparing to leave too, the door opened and Phil came back from outside.
"Hey, you're awake."
Wu Jian nodded: "
Where have you been? I thought you were gone."
Phil raised the gasoline in his hand and said, "I just went to refuel. After all, I have some hard work to do today, so I need to replenish my energy anytime and anywhere. By the way, do you want to team up with me? If we win, we can split the reward 50-50."
Wu Jian declined politely, "Sorry, I want to go find my teammates."
Phil felt a little regretful, but he couldn't force the little dragon to follow him.
"Well, when you find your teammates and we meet again, can we team up?"
Wu Jian nodded: "Of course."
When Phil packed up his things and prepared to leave, he fell back and said to Wu Jian, "By the way, was your bracelet space given to you by Brother He?"
Wu Jian looked at the bracelet and nodded: "Yes. Any problem?"
Phil sighed, "No problem, I just think He Ge is such a competent father. I'm so envious."
Wu Jian:?
Phil waved to Wu Jian: "I'm leaving, little dragon cub. I look forward to seeing you next time."
After Phil left, Wu Jian left the temporary resting place without staying for long and headed towards the floating station that Phil mentioned.
The surrounding roads are mostly obscured by the growing trees.
On his way to find his friend, Wu Jian was nearly knocked down by a mechanical cat.
Fortunately, he is not as clumsy as when he was just a cub, and can easily avoid the attack of the mechanical cat.
He threw the small silver ball with his backhand, and it exploded when it hit the mechanical cat, sending it flying.
Wu Jian took back the small silver ball and looked at the mechanical cat that was broken into pieces on the ground.
The next second, the mechanical cat's separated body was entangled by a thin thread again, and a cat like a spring appeared.
Wu Jian was stunned. "No way, he didn't die like this?"
"Meow!"
The mechanical cat had a ferocious face, pressed down its spring-loaded tail, and roared at Wu Jian.
Wu Jian threw out another small silver ball, but he didn't expect the mechanical cat to avoid it. It was very fast and appeared in front of him like lightning before Wu Jian could react.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Jian turned around and ran away.
"Mimi, can you please stop chasing me? I have syrup."
"roar!"
"Then I have some dried fish, don't chase me."
Wu Jian felt regretful. He forgot that cats with tattoos should not be messed with. Not only was the cat petty, but it also cursed him badly. It had chased him for several miles, so why was it still biting him?
Wu Jian turned one corner after another and had no idea where he was going.
The good news is that the cat behind you didn't catch up with you, the bad news is that you are lost.
Wu Jian tried to fly upwards.
The further you go this way, the taller the buildings become.
He flew quite high up. There were buildings above him, and the buildings were surrounded by a layer of white mist, so he couldn't see what was happening below at all.
This was the first time Wu Jian encountered such a tall building. After so many years, it still hadn’t collapsed. It had to be said that there were great architectural masters on every planet.
I admire you very much, but I just want to say, please don't give the little dragon cub such a difficult problem that exceeds the standard.
There was no other way, Wu Jian could only fly down again and find a place to get out little by little.
He walked deeper into the building and accidentally passed through a wall with his entire body passing through it.
Wu Jian stepped back a little and retreated out of the wall again.
When I reached out to touch the wall, I felt nothing. It seemed as if the wall was just a facade to hide what was inside.
Wu Jian flew in again, passing through the holographic wall, but inside the wall was a completely different scene.
