Chapter 94 Dungeon Game 5
Chapter Ninety-Four
As the lights came on, all the signs and neon signs along the street lit up. Lin Xia squinted uncomfortably as she looked around at her surroundings.
The shop she was in was a barbershop. In one corner, two robots were charging. When the power came back on, the red lights on their chests lit up, and then their eyes lit up as well.
They all turned to look at Lin Xia.
The neon sign for this barbershop is broken. Please restore its brightness within 15 minutes.
Lin Xia walked out of the store and looked at the neon lightbox at the entrance. The neon lightbox stood quietly in the corner, and across from it were clothing stores, milk tea shops, restaurants, pet shops, hot pot restaurants, etc. The lights were on now, making it look very lively.
Several people walked out one after another, their faces filled with terror and their bodies trembling.
Lin Xia tapped the lightbox with the knife, and a line of text appeared on the lightbox: "[I'm hungry...]". Lin Xia quickly checked the wires, and they were all normal, so it seemed that he didn't want to eat electricity.
What does this thing want to eat...? Lin Xia threw various kinds of things over, but it remained unmoved. Finally, she even stretched out her hand, but it still didn't move.
Lin Xia ignored it and looked at the other shops. A shrill scream came from the clothing store, but the other shops remained quiet. Even the barbershop across the street was silent.
Lin Xia looked at the rotating neon sign in front of the barbershop across the street, then glanced at the sign next to her that kept saying it was hungry, and wondered, does this thing eat its own kind?
But if that's not the case, that other barbershop probably won't let it go either. It's obvious whether it's two attacking forces or one attacking alone, there's no choice.
I glanced at the time; it's almost time.
[Time's up, player hasn't completed the task. Two options are available.]
[1. One haircut.]
[2. The neon lightbox goes berserk; defeat it to pass the level.]
Lin Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly saw the door to the clothing store across the street open, and out came... a blood-soaked person.
It has the head of an adult, but its limbs are very thin. It wears a child's outfit, which is covered in blood, as if its limbs had been cut off to fit into the clothes. It walks unsteadily.
Lin Xia turned her head and saw the fully charged robot holding two pairs of scissors, snip-snip, its eyes fixed on her menacingly. She immediately chose option 2.
The lightbox that had been listlessly complaining of hunger suddenly perked up and started spinning wildly, and a robot opened the door and came out.
The lightbox is separated front and back, and then the frame fits around the robot's body. Looking at it this way, it looks like the lightbox has grown limbs, holding scissors in one hand and a hair dryer in the other.
Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it is. She thought the neon lightbox would be like a monster in an animated film, with limbs growing out of its frame. Well, it's not that fantastical.
As the lightbox monster charged at her, brandishing its giant scissors, Lin Xia nimbly dodged, slashing with her large knife to test its strength.
With a clang, the knife's blade chipped. Lin Xia frowned and quickly dodged the scissors. The scissors gleamed coldly, giving Lin Xia a very eerie feeling.
The rotating light in the middle was spinning rapidly, and looking at it for too long could cause dizziness. Lin Xia looked away. There was something wrong with this thing. If it weren't for her high mental strength, she probably would have fainted.
Lin Xia turned around and tried to run into the street, but instead she ducked onto a transparent barrier and rolled around on it several times to avoid the scissors behind her.
The road is blocked; it seems we can't leave without dealing with this monster.
Lin Xia glanced into the store. The robot was eyeing her menacingly, its eyes fixed on her. Lin Xia, who had originally intended to go into the store, immediately changed her mind. However, there were only a few steps leading up to the entrance, and the space was really limited.
There's only one useful item in the space, the [Mold Bomb] from the previous dungeon, but the space is so small, I don't know if it's harmful to people.
Remembering the wiring route she had observed while inspecting it, Lin Xia leaped up and slashed the external wiring with a knife. The rotating light box instantly stopped spinning and fell off the robot with a 'crack'.
The robot inside was exposed, its chest and the interface with the lightbox wide open. Lin Xia could see it, but it was wielding scissors so fast that she couldn't get close at all.
The robot stopped, pointed the hairdryer at her, and a blast of hot air rushed towards Lin Xia. Just by brushing against Lin Xia's arm, blisters appeared on her arm.
The temperature in the air rose rapidly, and Lin Xia instantly broke out in a thin layer of sweat. The hair dryer was cordless. Lin Xia frowned and stared at the wide-open port on the robot's chest.
It looked at Lin Xia, and snapped the scissors in its hand shut on the gaping hole in its chest. Lin Xia was faster than it. In an instant, she switched to a different knife, and the moment she pulled the scissors back, she flashed behind it and began slashing at its joints.
Whether it's because robots haven't been developed in this world yet, or because the shop owner only bought the most basic robots, the joints of these two robots are made of a rubber-like material.
The large knife severed the internal electrical wires in one swift motion, and the robot froze, collapsing to the ground.
Although it had fallen over, the hairdryer was still on, and the temperature continued to rise. Lin Xia's face was flushed, and beads of sweat dripped down her face.
She reached out to close it, and as soon as she touched it, she saw the message: "[Heat Wave Machine: Let you feel the passion of summer!]" She pulled on it and saw that there was an electric wire inside the robot. Lin Xia cut it off with a knife, which stopped it.
Lin Xia thought she might get a tool, but that's hopeless now. She lightly touched the scissors—[Gene Clipper: Can cut genes, for use with hair salon robots.]
Gene editing? Lin Xia quickly let go. Another useless thing.
[Congratulations, you've cleared the hair salon level. Please head to the clothing store; only new clothes match your new look!]
A gust of cold air blew in, and Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
This barbershop looks simple, but it actually has genetic haircutting. Fortunately, these things are implemented using existing materials, which are then modified into props.
This world hasn't developed to be too high-tech yet, so she can still find some loopholes. Fortunately, unlike their survival game, all the props seem to be generated out of thin air, and everyone knows how to defend against them.
Ordinary knives were completely useless. Looking at the chipped blade in his hand, Lin Xia bent it with his hand. Hmm, it can still be used.
Please head to the clothing store as soon as possible.
Lin Xia glanced at another robot in the barbershop, which was already sitting there quietly charging. The neon sign at the entrance was cracked in two and had not been repaired.
Lin Xia looked at the arrow in front of her, pointing to the spot where the man had just come out, with drops of blood still dripping down the ground.
I stood at the door for a while and saw that there were only clothes and shelves inside. The changing room was closed, but the bloodstains came from the changing room and dripped into the barbershop next door.
