Chapter 335 Public Enemy of Clockwork City

When the meeting time ended, Mu You returned to the room amid the surge of black energy.

Mu You immediately contacted Lin Xue on the forum and informed her of the previous speculations about her competitors.

"Chains for disabled limbs?" Lin Xue was slightly surprised after hearing this.

"Yes, I guess this may be the danger you are about to encounter. If you have a fight with this person in the future, you must dodge as much as possible to avoid being hit by her." Mu Youyou.

Lin Xue received the message and paused for more than ten seconds before typing it out.

"If this is the case, dodge can only be avoided for a while, and external defense may be more important."

"Um?"

"If this person's chain is something like my sickle, then for it to be effective, it must first come into direct contact with the body of the creature." Lin Xue said.

The Death Scythe is a prop she has been using, and of course she is most aware of the shortcomings of this weapon.

Such props seem to have incredible functions, but they are not invincible in actual combat. They have two biggest weaknesses.

First, there will be a cooling time after each effect, about one second. During this period, no matter how many times the sickle is hit, it will no longer take effect.

Second, the scythe must hit the body of a creature to be effective. If it hits equipment or armor, but fails to penetrate the armor and cause damage to the body, it will also not be able to leave the mark of death. To put it in layman's terms: it has to be seen to count.

If the chain that Hongxiu used during pregnancy was a weapon similar to hers, it would probably have these two restrictions.

"...If only part of the limb is disabled, using some hard armor and equipment should be able to effectively protect the key parts..." Lin Xue analyzed.

"Is it armor..."

Mu You touched his chin. In short, he wanted to be as protective as possible. To be extreme, if you put your whole body into iron armor and turn yourself into an iron bucket, you may even ignore the chain!

Of course, this means that the load will be very high, and movement will be restricted in battle, which is equivalent to turning oneself into a sandbag that can only be beaten, and the gain outweighs the loss.

But when Mu You mentioned the iron bucket, he thought of the mecha skin.

If the chain really can only be effective on the body of a living creature, wouldn't it be completely defeated by his mecha skin?

This is not yet certain, but it is always a backup plan.

In addition, they also have an advantage, that is, he already understands Hongxiu's attributes during pregnancy.

At least in terms of agility, both his and Lin Xue's agility values ​​were higher than the other's, so they would not be inferior in the most critical aspect of speed.

This matter can only be discussed to this extent for the time being.

After closing the private chat with Lin Xue, Mu You contacted Jiuyou again and asked them to take care of the shooter recently. By the way, he also revealed some information about Z World Walkers to him.

"Fingers? Armor?"

Jiuyou was a little surprised when he first received this information. Did the master mean that he had already met the other party?

"It's not certain yet. It's just a guess. If you accidentally encounter the opponent, you can try these two methods to counterattack." Mu Youyou said.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Master. I will help arrange the smoke and mirrors."

Seeing that the other party had no explicit intention, Jiuyou didn't ask any more questions. In fact, they really didn't have time to take care of this Z-realm traveler recently.

Immediately after the Burning Sun City, it was the turn of the Sunset and Dusk City. The Dragon Team and Ice Emperor's troops had been fully preparing for the next city capture in the past few days.

After arranging the shooter's affairs, Mu You switched back to the game and took a look.

In the game, the old man is still sleeping, and his character is hanging up on the charging pile to make parts, and has nothing to do for the time being.

Mu You also hurriedly took a rest. After all, when the old man woke up, he might have to be used as a nanny again, and he would have no time to rest.

The following facts proved that his worries were not unnecessary.

Early the next morning, not long after Mu You woke up, the text in the game changed.

[...After the old goblin Barney woke up, he continued to look at the drawings and take notes while enjoying the shoulder squeeze of the assistant robot. 】

[The old goblin suddenly turned around, glanced at the assistant robot behind him irritably, and ordered it to stop and go back to work. 】

[Then old goblin Barney looked in your direction, his eyes swept across the row of robots in front of the charging pile, and murmured to himself: "Who hammered my shoulder last night? That one was pretty strong... Thirteen Number, it should be 伱, right?

[No. 13 is your mecha number. 】

[Obviously, the osteoporotic old goblin was impressed by your massage technique last night. Among the robots on site, only your strength is the most suitable for it. At this time, I hope to continue to enjoy your service...]

"emmm..."

Mu You had a dark look on his face.

He had tried his best to hide in the crowd, but he didn't expect that he would be caught out.

And the reason they found out was because his shoulder-squeezing technique made the other party 'enjoy' it. This was the plan to promote him to the position of chief internal affairs manager...

Mu You was quite speechless, but he had no choice but to do as he was told, otherwise yesterday's hard day would be in vain.

Muyou spent the next time busy.

In the game, he was busy satisfying the old goblin's various requests, but in reality, he was paying attention to the forum from time to time.

Today is the day when Lieyang City was born. The time Lion requested for support is around 12 noon, which seems to be almost the time.

Sure enough, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, a system message suddenly popped up in the game.

[The City of the Burning Sun has been successfully activated! ]

[The first city lord: Hellboy. ]

Mu You was stunned. The news was out, but, Hellboy? Who is this? Did the Lion fail in the fight?

Mu You frowned, but he didn't rush. After waiting for about an hour, the forum really received a message from the Lion.

"Woo, Boss, I failed!" The Lion came up and sent a crying expression.

"Who is this Hellboy?" Mu You was curious.

"He is one of my collaborators..."

"Oh? Does it mean that they played tricks on you?" Mu You asked.

"That's not the case, because we signed a blood pact not to attack or murder each other within a year, and the cooperation was quite harmonious. After entering the city, we worked together and left all the opponents behind. However, at the last level, we agreed to compete freely without hurting each other. Whoever arrived first would win. I was a little unlucky and was a little slower, so someone got there first." The lion continued to swipe the screen with a crying expression. He did not blame his teammates in his words. Instead, he frankly admitted that he was not as skilled as others and had nothing to say about his loss.

Mu You touched his chin and asked again: "Is it because of the incident with the walker in the z world last night?"

Lion has secret skills and enjoys the magic support of others. His overall strength is definitely higher than others, but he still lost. In this kind of thing, luck is of course one aspect, but other factors may also be involved...

"Him? How is it possible! Boss, don't joke. Will I lose the city lord because of his influence?" The lion immediately refuted.

"Really? Not at all?" Mu You asked.

"..." The lion was silent, and continued typing after a moment.

"Well, I admit that there was a little bit of influence. At the last moment, I hesitated for a moment. I swear it was just a tiny thought that caused me to miss the opportunity. Alas..." Lion sent a "slightly embarrassed" emoticon, obviously still a little upset about it.

But he soon cheered up and sent another message.

"It's okay, boss, although we didn't get the city lord, at least the city lord was firmly taken by our side. Now I have also been assigned a position as a deputy city lord. This is one of the contents of our previous blood contract. I am actually one-third of the decision-makers. I can have a say in general matters." Lion said.

The blood contract signed by Lion and his collaborators is quite strict. It clearly divides the scope of cooperation among the three people and the division of benefits after success. Therefore, even if he doesn't get the city lord, his right to speak will far exceed that of ordinary deputy city lords. Although the Lord of Lieyang City does not have to listen to Lion's proposal, it will definitely be used as an important reference.

With such a relationship, it will be much more convenient for people in their association to do things in Lieyang City in the future. This is also their original intention.

After chatting with the lion, Mu You contacted Hellboy as usual and informed him of the matters that Sky City needed to pay attention to the flight altitude.

Nothing happened in reality for the time being, so Mu You was able to focus back on the game.

In the Clockwork City, the old goblin and a group of assistant robots were still working overtime to rush to make parts, while Mu You was doing all kinds of messy chores throughout the process.

He persisted until eleven o'clock in the evening, and finally, the message that Mu You had been waiting for for a long time popped up.

[Old goblin Barney concentrates on operating the workbench, combining various tiny parts together...]

[The outline of a power furnace gradually takes shape. It is composed of countless gears and dense silk threads, connected in a complex connection method that you can hardly understand, one ring after another, and any tiny shake may cause the entire structure to collapse...]

[After a while, Barney completed the last step of the operation, and the entire furnace blank was transported by a mechanical arm into the alchemy pool for the final heating and shaping work...]

Mu You was very emotional. After being ordered around by this old man for two days, finally, this nightmare-like day is coming to an end!

Now all the parts have been manufactured and the assembly work has been done, except for the final refining.

At this time, the old goblin no longer had the mind to enjoy the shoulder and leg massage service, and kept wandering in the hall restlessly. Mu You was also freed and stood by the wall with other assistant robots waiting for fishing.

The refining process lasted for two hours.

It was not until one o'clock in the morning that the prompt that the refining was completed finally popped up in the game.

[The fireproof mechanical arm went deep into the alchemy pool with roiling flames and fished out an extremely hot furnace. When it was exposed to the air, the room was immediately filled with steam. ]

[You see a magma-like liquid flowing on the surface of the furnace. It looks bumpy, but you can still feel the extraordinary power in it, like the powerful beating of a heart...]

[The mechanical arm sent the furnace into the coolant on the side. ]

[The high temperature quickly cooled down, and the originally red furnace body gradually washed away the dirt in the transparent coolant, revealing the smooth furnace body shining with purple light underneath! ]

[Ancient Power Furnace: A replica of the Eternal Power Furnace, it can provide unimaginable strong power and charging efficiency, and can drive up to three legendary accessories to run at the same time. ]

[Old Goblin Barney was so excited when he saw the power furnace come out successfully. At this time, there was only one last step left for the new mecha he had been researching for many years. ]

["Quick, go and take it out!" Barney couldn't wait to give you an order. ]

Here it comes!

Mu You was waiting for this moment. He held the pocket watch and went back more than a dozen times, and finally got this opportunity.

[You rushed forward and arrived in front of the cooling device before other robots. ]

[Your mechanical arm stretched out and slowly took out the power furnace from the icy liquid. ]

["Not bad, No. 13, give it to me!" The old goblin was very satisfied with your capable style, and then waved and ordered you to hand over the power furnace to him. You choose... ]

[You refused Barney's order! ]

[You chose to send the power furnace into your body and started the fusion program... ]

[The fusion was successful, your power furnace has been replaced with: Ancient Power Furnace, current energy remaining: 2%, energy overflow requires charging time: 32 minutes, or directly put into magic crystals: 124... ]

"124, good guy..."

Mu You's eyes twitched, it is indeed an epic power furnace, the capacity is really extraordinary, it can eat more than a hundred magic crystals at a time, and the charging speed is also ridiculously fast.

The original ordinary power furnace can be fully charged with one magic crystal, and it takes more than five hours to charge statically.

The capacity of the ancient power furnace has increased by more than 120 times, but it only takes half an hour to charge, and the charging speed is more than 1,200 times faster!

["No. 13, what are you doing?" The old goblin Barney looked at you in disbelief, and his face quickly became extremely angry. ]

[The other assistant robots present have also realized your betrayal at this time, and they are ready to raise their weapons against you...]

There is no time to charge slowly at this time, Mu You chooses to add magic crystals directly.

[You put 124 magic crystals into the power furnace, your power furnace is overflowing, and powerful power flows in your body. ]

[You remove the camouflage form, and the shotguns on your arms emerge, and you open fire before other robots do it! ]

[Dense energy bombs emerge in the hall and fly to all the assistant robots around...]

[God's power, triggered! ]

[Chaos circuit, triggered! 】

【The assistant robots present fell into a state of confusion, and all attacks had a 75% chance of being deflected...】

【The assistant robot's counterattack shoulder armor was activated, and missiles were fired one after another, but they were detonated by the dense energy network of the shotgun as soon as they were fired, and the scene was in chaos...】

【In the smoke, you rushed straight to the old goblin Barney, trying to take him hostage. 】

【However, before you get close, a crystal block automatically appeared on Barney's body, covering him completely, and Barney's figure became illusory. 】

【Barney temporarily entered the exile state, and all your attacks could not hit him! 】

"Exile?"

Mu You was stunned. He was still thinking about holding this old man hostage and asking about the whereabouts of the Eternal Power Reactor. How come he suddenly became invincible?

Fortunately, the game automatically gave an explanation at this time.

[Emergency escape device: A safety device prepared by the goblins for important people in the tribe. It will automatically start when it senses danger, temporarily save the character in a different space, unable to move, and remain in an unattackable state. It will automatically be released after 120 seconds. ]

"There is such a thing..."

Mu You was shocked. The goblins invented all these weird things. Fortunately, he didn't rush to hold them hostage before.

Holding was hopeless, and Mu You didn't force it. Anyway, the thing was already in hand.

[A shrill alarm sounded throughout the clockwork city! ]

[You snatched the "Destruction" mecha that was resting on the workbench and ran towards the ventilation duct. ]

[The locked old goblin Barney's eyes were blazing, but he could only watch you leave. ]

Ventilation duct, this is another exit to the outside world besides the main entrance. After all, the thick smoke from alchemy in this laboratory every day must be discharged.

[You crawled quickly along the ventilation duct and soon entered another building connected to the duct. 】

【However, when you climb out of the pipe, you find that the building is surrounded by a large number of mechas! 】

【Seeing you, all the mechas open fire at the same time! The colorful artillery fire and energy bombs interweave into an impenetrable firepower network, pouring down on the building. 】

【The building collapses instantly in the artillery fire, and you are buried under the ruins...】
