This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1242 - 555 Initial Probe into the Abyss

The sudden voice made both of them tense up at once.

Mu You quickly jumped up, watching over the pile of broken parts on the sandy ground with caution.

If this damn thing could actually come back to life, he would really have a fit...

Fortunately, this time it seemed to be not a resurrection, but merely a single voice broadcasted before going silent once again.

After waiting for a moment and confirming that the mechanical body showed no signs of reassembling, Mu You walked over and found the thin piece that had made the sound. He picked it up to examine.

This thin piece was overall bronze in color, with a rather simple structure, engraved with some alchemy runes.

Mu You didn’t know much about alchemy, but due to his long-term exposure to various components of mechanical armor skin, he could guess the meaning of some simple runes.

From the runes, it appeared to be nothing more than a simple voice device. That sentence just now must have been broadcasted by the robot before dying, but because Mu You had violently damaged its vocal mechanism, the delivery of the final stored syllables was slightly delayed. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Once he confirmed this object was harmless, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he recall the content that was just broadcasted.

"Reset erasure mission... activate spare production plan?"

Mu You murmured to himself, frowning, the term ’spare’ arousing in him a somewhat frightening possibility: could this thing have been mass-produced on an assembly line?

And why had only the Medicinal Plant Gatherer encountered such a thing?

The difference between the Medicinal Plant Gatherer and the locals was that he was the Fool, but there were plenty of Fools, so why had there never been any reports of such robots before?

Or maybe, the problem lay with the Abyss?

This thing had crawled out of the Abyss, and since the levels of the Abyss were too high, players had probably not yet made contact with the Abyss. The Medicinal Plant Gatherer might have been the first.

"Fool, plus Abyss, did these two conditions lead to the appearance of this thing..." Mu You pondered.

"It’s almost time for the door." At that moment, the Medicinal Plant Gatherer reminded him.

"Alright, go back to the Abyss first."

Mu You nodded, sending the Medicinal Plant Gatherer away, then stepped forward and gathered up all the parts in the sand, before setting down the Teleportation Array and teleporting to the City of Eternal Night.

In the mechanical factory, Eugene was pacing anxiously at the entrance. The moment he saw Mu You appear in the distance, he was overjoyed and rushed over.

"You’re finally here, quick quick quick, where’s the thing?"

"What thing?" Mu You was somewhat puzzled.

"The core, of course! Hurry, I’ve got several factories waiting on power to start operations!" Eugene urged, his eyes instinctively darting to what Mu You was holding in his hands.

"Oh, I’ll need the core for a bit longer," said Mu You. He planned to go and check on the situation in the Abyss, as he might encounter those kinds of robots again and would need the mechanical armor skin to deal with them.

"Huh? You still need it? For how long?" Eugene frowned.

"A week, tentatively," Mu You thought for a moment and said.

"A week? And it’s tentative?" Eugene jumped up in a frenzy, "Are you joking? Do you want the factory to shut down for a week? My machines will rust!"

"That’s an exaggeration," Mu You smiled, "Don’t worry, after a week, there will be new cores, and then no one will ever compete with you for power again."

Eugene hesitated for a moment, "Really?"

"Truly, I promise."

Mu You said and pulled him into the factory, coming to a workbench. He pushed aside the tools on the table to clear some space.

"Before that, help me take a look at these things..." Having said this, Mu You placed the mechanical parts he had collected from the desert onto the table.

"Oh my tools..." Eugene hurried over to catch a glass instrument that was about to fall.

"Be careful, you know how expensive..."

Eugene turned to complain but before he could finish speaking, his eyes were captured by the objects on the table, unable to look away.

"Clang!"

The instrument in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, but Eugene took no notice, walking to the table in a daze, quickly taking out a lens to wear over his right eye, and then gloves and tweezers. Fully equipped, he carefully picked up a piece of mechanical fragment to examine.

"This, this is... impossible, how can there be such a high density of alchemy runes... and this gear shape, how is it fitting together? This makes no sense..."

Eugene murmured in awe as he inspected, his eyes growing wider.

Mu You listened to his muttering for a while, hearing the repeated phrases ’This isn’t right,’ ’This can’t be possible,’ indicating that the level of alchemy in this robot far exceeded Eugene’s knowledge.

"How is it, can you make anything out?" Mu You asked.

But Eugene now was like a scientist who had suddenly discovered alien technology, in a state of overwhelming curiosity and completely disregarded him.

"Cough, take your time studying, let me know when you find something." Mu You didn’t bother him further, leaving a message before hurrying out of the factory.

Ten minutes later, Mu You made it through the door just in time to return to Earth.

After the door closed, Mu You packed it away and quickly re-entered the game.

[In a whirl of dizziness, you appear in the midst of a dense forest, looking up to see through the mist ahead, a vast crater looms in sight...]

[You have arrived at ’Lochmaddy Abyss’!]

When he left the Abyss before, Mu You had left a Teleportation Array nearby, now directly transporting his character there.
