Chapter 742 It’s Not that Simple (Monthly Ticket 800 Plus More Updates)

The failure of using "THE·CHE" to transport the Lord of the Rings was beyond Zhao Mai's expectation. Since it is a failure, we must learn from it, otherwise wouldn’t it be a failure in vain? So while Zhao Mai comforted Frodo and told him that he could still complete the task with his legs, he began to check the status of the car.

"THE·CHE" can only be described as weird. The garbled characters on the phone and the inability to correctly identify the damaged state of the car are already very strange. It seems that even the navigation software is infected with a "virus". No matter which destination Zhao Mai chooses, the toll fee is 8,100 gold coins, which is actually the cost for him to travel to the world of origin.

"Fortunately, the tolls of the Ring Alliance are still meticulous. I don't have that much money, so I didn't make it!" Zhao Mai had to lament the good luck brought by his poverty, and also thanked Ilúvatar for protecting the world of origin. . But when it comes to cell phone malfunctions, Zhao Mai doesn't know how to fix it!

This is not a case of shell damage, and the repair spell has no effect on the programs running inside. Zhao Mai scratched his head, and after hesitating for a while, he resorted to an almost tried-and-true method: restart.

It seems that after having a taxi that can travel through time, my mobile phone has never been restarted, and it has not needed to be charged for hundreds or thousands of years. Where does the energy come from? In the past, I had fantasized about one day being able to obtain infinite energy or create a perpetual motion machine. Magic might be a way to realize that fantasy. But as his strength and ability grew stronger, he became less and less convinced that his dream could come true.

The phone restarted quickly and a prompt popped up. "Would you like to upgrade the system?" Zhao Mai's first reaction was surprise, but what followed was deep suspicion. It seems that the tools used by the ferrymen are all kinds of strange. He has never seen a second person using a mobile phone. Why is there a system upgrade? The Alliance of Rings manages and maintains transportation between the worlds. Their work has been going on for countless years. How can they upgrade the system?

This sudden suspicion made Zhao Mai not choose to upgrade, but opened the "upgrade instructions" first. There are so many things mentioned in it, such as "mentors", "consultants" or "intelligent maintenance". In short, this will be a victorious upgrade, a successful upgrade, an inspiring victory, and has great historical significance...

"Isn't this a trick of the Supreme Lord of the Rings?" The more Zhao Mai thought about it, the more likely it became. The upgrade can be postponed for a while and restarted normally.

Sure enough, the phone returned to normal after restarting, and a black evil will emerged from the phone case, twisting its body angrily and getting into the car through the broken door. Mobile phones can now display "body damage, vehicle contaminated."

The damage to the car body can be recovered slowly by itself, which is also one of the benefits of exchanging the self-regeneration ability. The contaminated parts can also be cleaned up at a small cost. Two gold coins were just a small amount of money to Zhao Mai, but he suddenly thought: Why not take this opportunity to figure out what this "pollution" is about?

After paying three additional gold coins and spending a total of 5 gold, Zhao Mai gained "a bottle of pollutants". Looking at the viscous black liquid swaying slightly in the small test tube, and then looking at the label written in Chinese characters on the bottle, he really couldn't laugh or cry. This can be regarded as a thorough car wash, disinfection and air maintenance. Then Zhao Mai "topped" the car door on the ground against the car frame.

Just as he was about to conjure up something like wire to tie the door shut, he heard the footsteps of the elf guard. There was light and noise here just now, everyone must have noticed it. "Elrond, could you please take Frodo and Sam away first? Please keep the things here secret and don't leak them."

The elf lord nodded and immediately escorted the two little guys back to the room. Zhao Mai decided to spend one gold coin to repair the car immediately and then sink it to the ground to hide it from others. He has never forgotten that there may be other time-travelers. He is a ferryman participating in the competition as a time-traveler, and this cannot be exposed.

"What happened? I saw Lord Eldron just now, but he didn't say anything." Legolas walked lightly and was the first to arrive, and not far behind him was the fully armed Hart. Boromir's Guards. He was wearing light leather armor and had a short sword hanging on his waist. It seemed that he had been standing guard, so it was no wonder he could run over so quickly.

"Sorry, I just thought of an ancient spell. An accident happened during practice, which shocked you all. It's okay now. I'll find a closed room to practice next time."

No matter who he was talking to, Zhao Mai explained it this way and didn't say much else. Even if they were suspicious, they couldn't find anything after checking the surroundings, so everyone had to accept this statement.

Zhao Mai returned to the house with the food reserves, and Xiaohua was finally able to speak. "It was really dangerous just now! It seems there is no trick at all."

"The Supreme Lord of the Rings wants to return to its master. The more powerful the person, the easier it is to become his target. This time, he actually wants to seize the car directly. If it succeeds, it really wants to go anywhere!"

"It has no money, so where can it go?"

"Even if we can't go to the original world, returning to Sauron is still troublesome. Is our Z insect army enough to deal with Sauron's orcs?"

"Our resource utilization rate, reproduction and growth speed, and final combat effectiveness are far stronger than that of the orcs. According to the last news we got, we will soon catch up with the number." Xiaohua tilted her head and said to Zhao Mai: " Regardless of the current strength or the long-term consumption of strength, we can win!"

"I have a worry. What will happen if Sauron suddenly gets a whim and gives a Lord of the Rings to Z-worm?" Zhao Mai pinched his chin and frowned tightly: "I only had a vague worry before. It's just taking shape now. Even if he can't completely control the Z-worms, distortion and corruption are his specialties. It is inevitable that my Z-worms will not become a tool for him to use, and even cultivate a new generation of dark Z-worms. You know, Z-worms Insects are considered creatures of this world, which is very convenient for Z-insects, and it is also very convenient for Sauron."

"I...can't say that this kind of thing will never happen."

Zhao Mai opened his palm and looked at where he was holding the Supreme Lord of the Rings. The words on the ring left several imprints on his hand lines, which happened to be the fragment of "The Lord of the Rings".

"I can't place all my hopes on me wearing the Lord of the Rings and reaching into the lava of Doom. Just holding it will already use up all my strength. When the time comes, I want to overcome its bewitchment and protect myself from death in the volcano of Doom. This... …And does that necessarily mean victory? Where do I get such confidence? What if this idea is the rhetoric that comes into my mind when the Lord of the Rings tempts me to put it on? Will I still be there then? Choose to destroy it? Even if the Supreme Lord of the Rings is destroyed, all the Lord of the Rings will lose their power, and at that time there will be no winner in the competition. Is this acceptable to me?"

Zhao Mai shook his head, "No, if I can't distinguish what I thought up and what was generated by the dark will, I won't dare to do anything!" He summoned the Holy Grail and poured the "pollutant" into it. "Tell me what's in this!"
