This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1259 - 561 Origin Battle Armor

[System Master, is this really okay?] Dressed in an Invisible Cloak and crouching in the night, Chun Li asked you timidly.

This underground world also has its nights, but not because the sun has set; after all, the sun can’t be seen here, nor can the blue sky which is a mere illusion. Day and night here are completely manipulated; just by switching off the protective shield’s light projection overhead, it naturally becomes dark.

After Mu You assigned the mission, Chun Li decisively accepted it, put on the newly acquired Invisible Cloak, and set out in the night, aiming for a machinery disassembly factory thirty kilometers away.

[I mean, unless given permission, living beings are strictly forbidden from entering the robot’s territory, being caught would be more serious than just being locked up in a dark room...] Chun Li’s face showed hesitation, and her steps began to falter.

Despite this panda girl’s usually rebellious behavior, engaging in risky actions, she actually only dared to commit minor misdemeanors, the kind of person who makes many small mistakes but avoids big ones. She would never dare break a real principle.

The act Mu You had prompted her to commit, however, clearly crossed this line, making her extremely hesitant; she had already asked about this problem more than ten times during the journey.

And each time, Mu You’s response was the same.

[Complete the mission, reward 5000 points.]

Mu You didn’t bother with any grandiose pep talks, just a simple reminder; 5000 points, are you in? Money makes the world go round, and it’s the same for the host; with a high enough reward from the system, there are no lines that can’t be crossed.

[5000 points... that’s five hundred servings of bamboo shoot and pork... how long could I eat... ] You faintly saw Chun Li’s eyes turn into the shape of bamboo shoots and she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, her steps becoming steady once again...

The journey, awkward and slow, took the two over three hours, but they finally arrived at the location.

[You and Chun Li appeared near a large factory,]

[Under the cover of darkness, you roamed around the vicinity for a week, confirming that there were no patrolling robots, then you cautiously snuck into this steel factory...]

[What presented before you was a maze-like complexity of conveyor belts and engine rooms, with massive amounts of scrap parts and defective robots piled up on the platform ahead, being sorted and carried away along several conveyor belts...]

[Amid the conveyor belts, there were numerous robotic arms and scanners, performing multiple scans on the passing parts to identify usable ones for recycling... As for the defective robots, they were brutally dismantled, with usable parts similarly recycled, while the rest were sent down the conveyor belts to the Furnace at the end, to be melted down into primal Metallic Liquid...]

A real robot production factory would be heavily guarded with numerous patrol robots, which they of course wouldn’t dare approach, so they had to pick this less regarded waste processing factory to scavenge.

[System Master, is this useful?] Chun Li picked up a coil from the ground and asked in a lowered voice.

[Chun Li found: Standard copper wire 78 centimeters.]

[Not a mechanical part, does not meet mission requirements, convertible to 5 points...]

[How about this?]

[Chun Li found: Battered armor.]

[Item of no value, convertible to 0 points...]

...

Mu You now only had three ports available, unable to waste them on such trivial items, what he needed were parts that could be immediately used, preferably weapons.

They couldn’t approach those sorting conveyor belts, because all the working robotic arms were fitted with cameras, and any tampering near the robotic arms would certainly be captured as an anomaly.

So they could only hide in front of the ’mountain of trash’ at the source, panning for gold from the garbage.

[Chun Li found: A mechanical transport brake missing a wheel...]

[Chun Li found: A slightly defective Turbojet Backpack...]

[Chun Li found: An Elemental Protective Armor with a hole in the chest...]

[Chun Li found: A nearly scrapped Halo Drive Bearing...]

...

The dump was indeed a dump, stacked mostly with scrapped robot parts and those faulty products from manufacturing missteps.

Chun Li worked hard to pick for half a day but only found a dozen or so usable items.

Mu You, without discriminating, collected them all, transferring them to reality for future use.

The two continued to pick trash for four to five hours until dawn was approaching, when Mu You counted the props they had gathered.

Excluding the ones so damaged they couldn’t be assembled, there were a total of 87 usable parts, essentially covering all basic components of various robots; while not enough to assemble something advanced, assembling a functional robot was certainly feasible.

The only thing that surprised Mu You was that among so many parts, not a single energy component was found.

It seemed they were unusually strict about energy management; with so many robots discarded daily, it’s impossible that none had damaged energy devices. The only explanation was that energy devices were immediately recycled, never ending up in such a dump.

Seeing that they had collected enough parts, and what remained were mostly duplicates, Mu You prepared to have Chun Li leave.
