Universal Mechanic

Chapter 501

After a while

Luo Yuan looked at the military base in the valley and said: It seems this is the base.

Luo Mengli: It's quite big. So how can we sneak in? Or attack? My alchemy potion is enough to blow open the gate of the base.

Luo Yuan shook his head and said: No hurry, can Charlotte shoot down the drone above?

As he spoke, Luo Yuan pointed to a drone flying near the base.

Charlotte said while operating the communication bracelet: Wait a minute, I want to see if I can hack these drones... No, these drones are like they don't exist.

Luo Mengli: Since even the program designed by Mary at that time can’t be found, it seems that these things are monsters?

Xi Qiling: Let’s not talk about what will drop after these things explode. I have never heard of such a situation before.

Luo Yuan: There might be gears scattered all over the ground. Anyway, my clone has already set up a sniper rifle in the distance. Let's see if we can shoot one down?

Charlotte said after hearing the gunshots and the sound of objects falling to the ground through her abnormally good hearing.

Charlotte: What happened?

Luo Yuan: ...a chip, don't doubt it, it's just a chip.

As he spoke, a sniper rifle and a chip appeared in Luo Yuan's hands as a shadow flashed by.

Xi Qiling picked up the chip and said: This model is a bit old and almost scrapped. Could it be a chip that simulates the equipment of the previous adventurer?

Luo Mengli: So where did these chariots come from? Don't tell me someone else brought these things in.

Xi Qiling: Don't ask me, I'm not Sister Anna, how could I know? But since this is a chip, there should be information inside. Let me see if this one is wrong? This one is also wrong. Uh, this one is one version away? Aha! Found it! .

As he spoke, Xi Qiling took out a reader, connected it to his communication bracelet, and then installed the chip on the reader.

Xi Qiling: Well... there is no virus and no password so it can be read!

As Xi Qiling pressed the button, a map was projected.

Luo Yuan: Is this the map of this place? It's interesting and reminds me of the time when I was a Luoo person.

Luo Mengli: It really looks like an arsenal, maintenance area, airport, tank garage, and the unknown area in the middle.

Luo Yuan: If it is really such a retro style, then you need to defeat four small bosses to get the props and then get the key to defeat the real boss in the middle.

Xi Qiling: It’s really strange. The difficulty level is too high. This mode is already the final mode of some small mazes.

Luo Yuan: If that’s the case, it’s a bit troublesome. How many floors are there in total here in Xiqiling?

Xi Qiling: The currently known number of floors is ten, because someone in the team that defeated the Dragon Demon was seriously injured and had to use the teleportation array in the boss room to leave. Although some people reached the tenth floor after that, no one has ever gone down.

Luo Yuan: What? I don’t think anyone who is motivated enough to do this would back down because of the unknown.

Xi Qiling: I thought so too. But based on the information I gathered, it seemed that there was a strange thing lurking in the stairs, so I left.

Luo Yuan: This is quite interesting, but let’s get back to business. Among the four locations, the one we are in is the arsenal, which means we need to split into three groups to fight the small boss. After all, it’s a waste of time to run one by one.

Charlotte: But there are five of us, how are we going to divide it?

Asta drew out five spell cards and said, "Let's draw lots? I prepared four different spell cards and a blank spell card. Fire is 1, water is 2, earth is 3, wind is 4, and the blank one is just for show."

Luo Mengli: I think it’s okay.

Charlotte: So who goes first?

Luo Yuan: Let's start with the younger ones? Then it's Charlotte, Asta, Xi Qiling, and me, Lai Shili.

Luo Mengli: ...Do you want to fight?

Luo Yuan: I'm just telling the truth. Hey, don't throw the alchemy potions around!

While dodging the alchemical potion thrown by Luo Mengli, Luo Yuan swung out his sword energy and knocked away a spell card in Asta's hand.

Luo Yuan looked at the spell card stuck in the ground and said in astonishment: ...It's actually white?

Asta handed the spell card to Luo Mengli and said: Let me make it clear first, I didn’t cheat. It’s just that you are unlucky.

Luo Yuan:…….

Luo Mengli: Who told you to be cool? Oh, you're so unsophisticated? Looks like I'm going to the garage.

Astha: I’m in the pits.

Charlotte: I'm at the airport...it's the farthest from here.

Luo Yuan: Can I lend you my motorcycle?

Charlotte: Thanks.

five minutes later

Asta: This is the Fang. I found the maintenance area.

Charlotte: I can see the airport here too, but it's still a few minutes away.

Luo Mengli: I’m at the garage now.

Xi Qiling: I found a confidential document. It's quite interesting. Do you want to listen to it?

Luo Yuan kicked the tank into pieces and said: What did you find?

Xi Qiling: If this document is true, then this place was originally a battlefield.

Ashtar: Isn't this a maze? Is there anyone living here?

Luo Mengli: I guess this land was originally a battlefield, right?

Xi Qiling: Correct! According to records, this was originally a battlefield. Let me read the contents.

We have no ability to resist the powerful empire, but once our defenses are breached, the capital will be captured, so we cannot retreat!

Xi Qiling: Well, the content in the middle is basically about the losses in the war until one day they found something.

Is that a translucent gem? No, that thing swallowed the chariot. Is that thing alive?

This is truly amazing! That thing created the chariot! We have hope!

It's amazing! These tanks are much more powerful than ours! They are even more powerful than the enemy's tanks! We have a chance!

No! No! This is impossible! I can't watch that thing swallow a soldier! Attack! Attack!

No! Maybe this thing is more dangerous than the enemy country and almost swallowed up the entire battlefield!

What happened? The big ball swallowed up the battlefield and never moved again.

Wait, that’s… a tower?

Xi Qiling: Well, it ends here. I guess this is not a note at all but a memory of the maze because the handwriting is not the same.

Luo Yuan: It's really interesting. I also discovered that these chariots will drop some small items, ranging from military rations to military emblems. It seems that everything on the battlefield has been copied.

Luo Mengli: If this layer came from the Devouring Battlefield, then how did the other layers come from?

Luo Yuan: Maybe it was swallowed by other eras?

Charlotte: So what you're saying is that it's not that no one went down there, but that there is no eleventh floor at all?

Asta: It's possible. Judging from the sound, you haven't arrived yet?

Charlotte: No, I just took the opportunity to jump onto a fighter plane and start a dogfight.

Luo Mengli: Don’t fall down, or we will laugh at you for a whole year.

Charlotte: It’s okay, there is no Hongomon on this fighter plane.

Luo Yuan: But you don’t have white hair and you don’t have a purple-haired wife.

Charlotte: But I have a red-haired teacher! I learned driving skills from Fang Mengtie.

Luo Mengli: This sounds a bit unlucky.

Luo Yuan: Don't worry, she's not white-haired. By the way, Asta, are you still alive? There are explosions all over your side.

Asta: This is not a maintenance area! Who the hell would put an aircraft carrier in a place where there is not even a puddle?

Luo Mengli: This is a castle with wheels... How does this thing work? The gears are not connected at all, bastard! If Lin Changye were here, he would have chopped it down with his sword!

Charlotte: At least the one you have there can't fly! I have a fighter plane that has been magnified two or three times!

Xi Qiling: So it sounds like I have the easiest time? I just have a bunch of autonomous robots to smash.

Charlotte: Oh, I can't take it anymore! Rain of Sky Arrows!

Luo Mengli: I can't help it anymore. Everything is created by me, and everything is made into equal exchange. Please turn this thing that goes against common sense into gold for me!

Asta: ...These two are crazy.

Luo Yuan: Have you solved it?

Asta: I used a crossbow to break the glass of the aircraft carrier and let Ross take a bomb in to blow up the control room. As a result, a gear fell off here, or should I say a quarter of a gear?

Xi Qiling: I have one here too, it looks like this is the key.

Luo Yuan: Xia Luo, Li, are you guys okay?

Luo Mengli: Haha, I have a super large golden eagle here, but my original calculation showed that it would shrink to about one tenth. But the size of this thing has not changed, which means that its mass or existence will always remain in the same state, so the result of equivalent exchange will be like this!

Luo Yuan: Calm down and tell me whether the key props have fallen.

Luo Mengli: It fell.

Charlotte: I got it too. Shall we gather now?

Luo Yuan: Let's gather together. I have already killed all the monsters. Although it's not fun, it's still okay to kill time.

Charlotte: You're exaggerating! There's a division there!

Luo Yuan: So it’s quite suitable for killing time. But after all, it’s not like humans where everyone is killed, so it’s not fun enough.

five minutes later

Xi Qiling looked at the fallen objects all over the mountains and said: You've gone too far!

While searching for special items in the dropped items, Luo Yuan said: It’s okay not to pick them up, and I’m doing this for the equipment inside.

As he spoke, Luo Yuan pulled out an electromagnetic cannon.

Xi Qiling took a look and said: That thing is too broken and not even as useful as your pistol.

Luo Yuan: My gun is a special one prepared by His Majesty. Of course, it is not comparable to this mass-produced one, but it can still be used by me, right? It's just that the explosion rate is really touching. I'm too lazy to brush it. And you three, hurry up and come down. It's time to fight the boss.

Asta: That’s really exaggerated.

Charlotte: I'm not surprised.

Luo Mengli: By the way, what will the boss look like? It can’t be a giant combined robot, right?

As they spoke, the three of them handed the gear parts in their hands to Xi Qiling.

Xi Qiling: That’s too exaggerated. But you’ll know once you go in, right?

While chatting, they came to the gate of a castle.

Luo Mengli: ...Fuck! Why on earth can this giant piece of garbage move when there is no transmission shaft and even the fucking gears are not connected properly?

Xi Qiling: Okay, okay, don’t think about it or you’ll get angry to death. Anyway, it seems that we just need to put the gear parts in.

As he spoke, Xi Qiling placed the four gear parts in his hand into the grooves.

Luo Mengli: Let’s finish this quickly and go to the next floor. These things give me a headache.

As they were talking, several people walked into the castle. In front of them was a mixture of an autonomous robot, an aircraft carrier, a giant tank, and a fighter plane.

Luo Yuan: What the hell is this?

Luo Mengli: I’m going to faint…

Asta: ...I have a strange sense of familiarity. Could it be that I have been contaminated by the forbidden books in the Void Library?

Charlotte: ...I'll kill that Yue Qiance when I get back!

Xi Qiling: What should we do now?

Luo Yuan: Let's fight. What else can we do? Let's just go to the armored station and make a quick decision.

After saying that, hellfire erupted around Luo Yuan, and he swung his sword in the posture of a black knight and directly chopped off the boss's head. However, just after the head fell, accompanied by the sound of Gatling gun firing, all kinds of alchemical potions smashed onto the boss like they were free, trapping it.

Luo Yuan looked at the boss who was glowing like a disco ball and said: Wow, he is still alive?

Asta: After all, it's a mechanical effect, right?

Luo Mengli: How is it possible? The alchemical potion I used at the beginning could even melt the armored version of a battleship, but it is actually useful if you look closely.

Charlotte: Well, after it dissolves, it switches to something else to dissolve. It seems that the boss is constantly switching to bear the damage, so let’s try to burst out in one breath, Sky Arrow Wind Fang!

After saying that, Charlotte charged up her energy and shot out a green beam, leaving a big hole in the boss's body.

Charlotte: Not dead yet?

Asta: It's my turn.

After saying that, Asta chopped down heavily at the boss, cutting it in half.

Then, accompanied by a violent explosion, the boss entered the second stage.

Asta appeared next to Luo Yuan and said: Wow, it exploded.

Luo Yuan: It's normal that the boss needs some special effects when it turns to the second stage, but I still want to say, what's the use of it after turning to the second stage except for continuously firing shells?

As he spoke, Luo Yuan ignored the shells and walked towards the boss.

Asta: ...You are amazing for ignoring physical attacks.

Luo Yuan: After all, it's just an ordinary shell, why bother to dodge it? By the way, Xi Qiling, are you okay?

Xi Qiling: Oh, don't worry. I have to borrow the power of the Queen now. It is impossible for me to cast forbidden spells casually. But I have also completed the pseudo-forbidden spell Doomsday Cataclysm!

As Xi Qiling spoke, the magic spell in his hand condensed into a sword.

Xi Qiling: It's done! Who will come?

…………

……

Xi Qi Ling: ...wait, why are you guys keeping silent? I worked so hard to make this!

Asta looked at the complex doomsday disaster and said: Of course it's because the structure is unstable! If I encounter it, I will probably get into trouble.

Xi Qiling: ...There's nothing I can do because my ability is just a low-end version of the Queen's.

Luo Yuan: If you use it on me, Li, you will explode instantly.

Luo Mengli said while drinking the alchemy potion: Well, I think so too, but I am also curious about the use of the fake forbidden spell designed by Yi Sheng, so it's ok.

After saying that, Luo Mengli took the Doomsday Cataclysm and rushed towards the boss. As for the shells fired by the boss, all of them were blown up by Charlotte the moment they were fired. Successfully, Luo Mengli came in front of the boss.

Luo Mengli: Hello, ugly monster, and then see you forever! Treading on the waves with thirty-six consecutive swords!

After saying that, Luo Mengli swung her sword vigorously and with thirty-six super-high-speed strikes, the boss was completely destroyed, leaving only a treasure chest.

Luo Yuan: Hey, Asta, is there still the scent of the forbidden book?

Asta lit a spell card and said: No more, it seems that it was caused by the accidental release of a forbidden book that has not been sealed by Yue Qiance, and Ross did not sense any similar aura.

Luo Yuan: Anyway, that’s it. Let’s open the treasure chest. Such a troublesome thing should at least give you something interesting, right?

Asta took out the spell card and said: I don't think so. After all, anything related to the forbidden book is not a good thing.

Luo Yuan: ...Don’t mention it, something has already happened.

As he was speaking, the ordinary treasure chest suddenly emitted light and instantly the entire castle was surrounded by a magic circle.

Luo Yuan took a look at the magic circle and said: Oh, Demon Language, it seems that the teleportation magic circle is ready, and the second boss battle is coming!

Xi Qiling: At least let me drink the potion to restore my mana!
