This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1603 - 687: The Nest in the Wasteland

Before the Mechanic died, he left a large number of mechanical blueprints in Chixiao, which were the culmination of his life’s efforts and wisdom.

With thousands of mechanical armors and tools, even though most do not have the power of the Origin Battle Armor, they are undoubtedly a very valuable inheritance.

As Mu You was considering this, he heard Ava’s subsequent evaluation.

"Page 1004 of the blueprints, all complete and intact!"

"However, the fundamental materials for all the blueprints are substances from Jie Lin, and many materials are scarce and cannot be replaced with external materials from the Divine World."

"Moreover, the effectiveness of most tools is mediocre, averaging the mid-tier level of tools in the Divine World, where superior replacement products can be easily found in the external world."

"Therefore, it is appraised as an ineffective inheritance."

Ava did not spare any consideration for their creator, bluntly labeling the Mechanic’s life work as ’ineffective.’

Ineffective?

Mu You frowned, somewhat puzzled.

He couldn’t remember the Mechanic’s final words, but he had a vague feeling that the person seemed to have rambled on quite a bit about what was left in Chixiao, giving the sense that it shouldn’t be something useless...

Mu You shook his head. No matter what, it’s a fact that these blueprints cannot be mass-produced because they all require Jie Lin materials, and how large is Jie Lin anyway?

The abundance of natural resources doesn’t compare at all with the external great world. Moreover, the ecology of Jie Lin is a very delicate cycle, with every bit extracted needing to be replenished from elsewhere.

Trying to mass-extract certain resources here would definitely disrupt this perfect ecology, which neither the Wildlings nor Jie Lin itself would ever allow humans to do.

Of course, not all the blueprints were useless.

Ava searched through the blueprints and finally picked out a few relatively practical tools, such as one called ’Forbidden Garment.’

Forbidden Garment, as the name suggests, is a suit similar to Chixiao that can be worn, serving as a lower-tier substitute for Chixiao.

It serves one purpose only: to provide a layer of ’Forbidden Energy’ covering the wearer, under which parasitic behavior is impossible.

Besides this, it doesn’t have any protective or enhancing abilities of armor and can’t even be called a combat suit, just a simple anti-parasitic garment.

But precisely for this reason, its refining requirements are significantly lower, not needing to enter Moon Lake’s deeper levels, just soaking in the surface waters of Moon Lake for a while to form.

The most striking feature of this item is that it doesn’t occupy a tool slot. It becomes effective just by wearing it, ensuring that even if the entity wanders in the Sky High World, there’s no risk of parasitism, proving quite useful in today’s environment teeming with Divine Devouring Beasts.

The materials needed by Jie Lin are mostly internal minerals, wood, and the like, some of which are quite difficult to find.

Through his identity as the Son of the Moon Festival, Mu You mobilized the Wildlings to gather them and within a few days, gathered enough materials for seven pieces of Forbidden Garment.

Ava crafted according to the blueprints, with two sets failing due to material quality, the rest were successfully refined in Moon Lake, resulting in five finished Forbidden Garments.

During this period, Mu You took the opportunity to screen the entire tribe’s Wildlings from house to house three times.

The first two screenings found hundreds of spies, but by the third round, no more parasites were found.

Thus, this parasitic crisis among the Wildlings was temporarily resolved, with no further impact from parasites in the short term.

The day after the screening ended, Mu You received messages from his three avatars.

The messages were conveyed by Ava through the game: they arrived at the desolate area marked on the map and searched the area, but did not find Wasteland Crow. Instead, they found a Divine Devouring Beast base, possibly a research site for parasitic entities.

There was quite a lot of Titan activity and patrols near the base, estimated to be over a thousand in total, and the three knew they couldn’t handle it, so they sent a request for reinforcements.

Upon learning the situation, Mu You immediately found the Clan Leader and Skywolf, quickly assembling a thousand-strong sentry team, rushing overnight to the eastern side of Jie Lin.

This team was just an advance guard to ensure rapid reinforcement, selecting elite young Wildlings, led by Skywolf and Mu Luo.

More Wildling troops were being assembled, ready to immediately reinforce once the front lines engaged in battle.

Mu You and this thousand-strong Wildman Sentinel rushed non-stop for three days and finally arrived at the scene.

However, upon arriving, they discovered they seemed to be a step late; the enemy had already fled.

"When did they flee?"

Mu You met Ling Long, who was there to meet them, a few kilometers outside the Divine Devouring Beast base.

"A few hours ago, we saw some Wildlings hastily enter the base, then the entire base suddenly retreated collectively, escaping in batches and orderly into the depths of the mist, likely having gotten wind of your arrival." Ling Long said.

"Where are the other two?" Mu You asked about the Watchman and the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

"The three of us acted once most of the Divine Devouring Beasts had escaped, directly attacking the base, killing some Titans who didn’t have time to flee. Then the Watchman and Gusha went chasing the Divine Devouring Beasts while the Medicinal Plant Gatherer stayed to guard the base, and I came here to meet you." Ling Long said.

Upon hearing this, Mu You immediately led the people towards the base.

Entering a simple door hidden in the mountains, Mu You discovered that the so-called ’base’ was actually a large underground laboratory, divided into three layers: the first layer was where the Divine Devouring Beasts lived, the second layer was for conducting experiments, and the third layer was a prison for imprisoning Wildlings.
