Chapter 348: Five-Faced Strange Box

POSTED ON MARCH 23, 2023 BY KEN

Obviously, for Fang Linyan who had [Athena’s Blessing], burning MP was equivalent to burning his own life…

Although [Bullet Time] had been weakened into a Rank C Talent, it was a passive talent that could increase hit rate and evasion. It was equivalent to being effective all the time, which made Fang Linyan feel very satisfied.

Not only that, but the new talent {Metal Touch} could also bring a very intuitive bonus to the combat power. The most typical was that the quality of the mechanical core produced as Casting Materials would inevitably be improved to a different level!

This also means that the quality of elite mechanical warranty officer and [Drone] would increase significantly.

Calculated in this way, Fang Linyan was equivalent to exchange a Rank A Talent, which was usually like a double-edged sword, with 2 very practical talents, which was definitely worth it!

Nimbus watched on the side, waiting for Fang Linyan to adapt to the newly acquired {Metal Touch}, then it said,

“Go, human, this new talent of yours seems to be something special. It is much stronger than I expected. Use your new talent to serve the master.”

Fang Linyan nodded, then he returned to Living Mechanical Heart.

This time, after he had a the {Metal Touch}, he could feel that piece of material as if it was the extension of his limb.

Therefore, when he started to process this material with tools, it was as if he was filing his own fingers with a file or knife — the pain was of course shielded.

This made it not a unilateral act when he was processing, but the material could actively cooperate according to his own feeling!

Such a brand-new processing experience directly made the final processed precision reach 17 Casper, which was far below the requirement of 27 Casper. He had overperformed the task.

After Fang Linyan reassembled the new Living Mechanical Heart, he could feel the entire octagonal space trembling, then the Living Mechanical Heart shrank to the limit and expand suddenly, sending out a more powerful pulse!!

This time Fang Linyan was simply blown away. He rolled on the ground a few times before getting up.

Only afterward did Fang Linyan and Goat know that the coverage and intensity of the pulse were unprecedentedly shocking. The 2 helicopters dispatched by Fincher Company were directly hit from 200km away, far beyond the area of previous pulses!

The electronic equipment in the helicopters malfunctioned one after another, and they crashed directly. They had to make an emergency landing, causing serious injuries to 2 of the reinforcements.

After a while, Fang Linyan saw that the Living Mechanical Heart was operating normally without any problems, so he left and returned to the control room on the Nimbus side.

At this time, Nimbus’s light sphere was constantly shining, obviously performing various operations.

About 10 minutes later, the entire ruins began to tremble slightly. Nimbus was already flying around in place with great excitement, then it began to flash non-stop, probably receiving relevant orders.

However, this flashing lasted for about a few minutes before falling silent again.

This was already in Fang Linyan’s expectation. After he had {Metal Touch}, he had a wonderful sense of the metal he touched.

The Living Mechanical Heart seemed to have been refurbished by him, but in fact, most of the activated metal parts inside were already very fatigued. The service life would not last long.

Metal fatigue was difficult for humans to distinguish with the naked eye. For example, a steel wire that was bent back and forth 8 times looked normal on the appearance, but if bending it 2 or 3 times, it would broke directly.

In addition, Fang Linyan’s estimated service life still had limitations. Pumesh must be in this state of “hibernation”, and the operating speed of the Living Mechanical Heart could probably only be 100 times per minute,

Once it did more intense actions, such as transforming, flying and so on, then the running speed of the activated machinery was likely to increase 6 times!

Do you know how ‘dying in the saddle’ was caused?

It was those men with chronic heart disease who still tried to force themselves. They could live for 8 more years, but when they were control by lust, their hearts would collapse in just 8 minutes.

In fact, if Fang Linyan hadn’t seen this point correctly, he would rather give up the rewards later to do some damage when repairing its heart.

Because for him, a paralyzed Pumesh was more in his own interest. If this guy regained its health, wouldn’t it be able to fly back to the back of the moon and take the piece of Steel Spark, then what else could he get?

After standing there for a while, Nimbus flew toward Fang Linyan and said in a monotonous voice,

“Master said that you have done a good job. At least you have relieved the pain that has plagued him for many years, so it let me give you the remaining reward.”

Fang Linyan’s eyes brightened and said,

“Then I would like to thank Master Pumesh’s generosity.”

Nimbus said,

“You put down the welding gun first, then follow me.”

Fang Linyan sighed. He thought of stealing this welding gun, but Nimbus’ words shattered his little thought.

Then Fang Linyan and Goat followed it and flew toward the outside. After passing through many passages, a metal gate slowly slid open. Fang Linyan suddenly felt that the surroundings were familiar. Wasn’t the it the hall on the right side of the fork that he entered first?

At that time, the Bloody Umbrella Company’s expedition team opened the “Pandora’s Box” here, which directly led to the closure of the entire Veronica Laboratory. The group of people was also wiped out here.

Not only that, there seemed to be a fierce fight here. Everywhere was bombarded. It was in a total mess.

But for Nimbus and Pumesh, this place was no longer their body, but the NASA space station that was used a shield, so they didn’t care about it.

Then Nimbus flew to the diamond-shaped container with five faces, yes, next to the “Pandora’s Box” that destroyed the Bloody Umbrella Company’s expedition team.

Then a ray of light shot out from Nimbus. Looking carefully, there seemed to be countless phantoms of 0 and 1. Under this light, the container actually started to transform. It spun and fold nonstop while quickly shrinking.

In the end, it turned into an object the size of a spinning top. It still had 5 strange faces with different expressions on its surface. It floated in the air with a buzzing sound.

Nimbus told Fang Linyan,

“Master said, this Five-Faced Monster Box is your reward.”

Fang Linyan said in astonishment,

“This… is the reward?”

Nimbus said,

“Yes, this Five-Faced Monster Box was originally used to seal a very evil creature called rust-eating parasite. They like to parasitize on metal creature, eat away at the decayed and rusted parts of their bodies, and secrete toxins.”

“Although the parasites inside have been released now, a certain amount of Unicron Power was injected into the Five-Faced Monster Box when it was created. Although this power is quite weak now, it is already very useful to you worked.”

Hearing its introduction, Fang Linyan’s eyes lit up immediately. He previously wanted to find out what was inside this “Pandora’s Box”, which directly triggered such a terrifying chain reaction. Unexpectedly, Nimbus took the initiative to mention this. He said,

“Wait, how did Mr. Pumesh get this?”

Nimbus said,

“I checked the records at the time. When the base on the back of the moon was established, a total of 7 interstellar spaceships were mobilized to transport supplies and materials. Then during the voyage, they encountered an abandoned cargo spaceship. This thing was already riddled with holes.”

“It happened that they encountered a cosmic ion storm at that time, so 2 of the 7 interstellar spacecraft crashed. In order to avoid insufficient materials for building a moon base, they simply brought this abandoned spacecraft just in case.”

“In the end, only half of the abandoned spaceships were demolished when building the moon base. The remaining half was thrown into the junkyard.”

“Mr. Pumesh had just woken up at that time and lacked the materials to build the body, so he dismantled half of the abandoned spaceship and selected the available parts to assemble the body.”

“As a result, Mr. Pumesh found 2 boxes of Five-Faced Monster Boxes in the mezzanine of the abandoned spaceship. Mr. Pumesh speculated that these 2 boxes of Five-Faced Monster Boxes were transported out secretly, intending to spread the plague.”

“Because the rust-eating parasite inside is not a big threat to mechanical intelligence lifeform, and it is still useful to the controlled puppet robot, so it was kept.”

“Then when being chased by the puppet mechanical wasp, Master released a Five-Faced Monster Box and killed several enemies with the rust-eating parasites. The remaining one was kept. Because this thing has a certain degree of danger, I moved it here.”

Fang Linyan picked up the miniature version of the Five-Faced Monster Box, examined it on his palm, and decisively used [Reconnaissance] on t.

This thing actually cost 1,200 common points. He was delighted. He immediately chose to pay, because it must be a good thing to be charged so much.

TL: He still plans to get the Steel Spark in the remaining 3 or 4 days? No way right? By the way, wouldn’t Koi come to this hall when the other passage was blocked?
