Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 272 Mechanical Puppet (Subscribe~)

The interior of the pyramid is very huge, and the outer circle of gems may have been stolen, so it is pitch black. But if you walk about a hundred meters inside, the environment becomes bright.

The huge machinery rumbled, the gears meshed, the links turned, and no one knew what was keeping it running.

Hot air will occasionally be emitted from the pipe, causing burns.

The ground was covered with gray-black crystals of mixed energy. Confused souls, with their upper bodies naked, were throwing the crystals on the ground one shovel at a time into a furnace that had been burning for who knows how many hundreds of years.

These workers were trapped between huge machines, looking so small and with numb faces. They must have lost their passion for life while they were still alive.

The firelight was reflected on the faces of Su Ming and Uniko, who looked a little dazed because of the huge machinery.

"I didn't expect there would be such a place in the Golden City..." Unico held Su Ming's arm and looked at these blue souls timidly. She said, "The compass points upwards, so there should be an upward passage."

"Well, let's go." Su Ming came back to his senses and took Uniko to avoid the workers. From the previous incident with the little girl, he knew that he could not help these souls.

When Su Ming was walking between the huge mechanical equipment, a worker who was shoveling crystal fragments suddenly raised the shovel and threw the red-hot crystal fragments at Su Ming and the other man.

"Roar!"

A hammer appeared and blocked the fragments for Su Ming.

Seven or eight workers stopped their work and slowly walked towards Su Ming, forming a circle.

Only after they moved away from the fire did Su Ming see that their blue souls had a hint of red, which was different from the souls in the city.

Previously, Su Ming thought that the red light was the light of fire.

As the workers walked towards Su Ming, more and more red appeared in their souls and their muscles swelled.

Following the principle of striking first, Su Ming summoned Xiao Hei and Zaemon, and had them focus on attacking a monster. He stayed with Uniko to block some of the crystal attacks for her.

The level of these lost souls is exactly level 35, so Su Ming can still control one to help contain it.

A few minutes later, these lost souls fell one after another, turning into copper coins, memory fragments and several bronze equipment.
Su Ming used up the memory fragments and suddenly found that monsters had reappeared where the workers had been. The speed at which the monsters reappeared really scared Su Ming.

He quickly pulled Uniko away from the range of hatred.

Next, Su Ming had to find a safe path by himself before letting Unique go.

After walking for a while, Su Ming stopped and looked back in confusion.

He felt like someone was following him.

Has the Soul Commander awakened?
"What's wrong?" Uni asked when she saw Su Ming turning around.

Su Ming leaned close to Unique's ear and whispered:
"Someone is following us about 10 meters behind us."

"Is it another adventurer?" Uniko also asked in a low voice.

"I don't know."

"I'll stop the time in that area, can you go check it out?"

"Alright."

Uniko activated the time stop function, and Su Ming took Xiao Hei over quickly. Behind the thick steam pipe, they saw the soul of a little boy.

There is no name or health bar displayed above the little boy's head, proving that he is a wild NPC.

Su Ming turned around and said to Uniko:
"It's not a soul command. It seems to be a soul with self-awareness."

After hearing the message from Su Ming, Uniko lifted the time stop.

As soon as the little boy NPC was able to move, he immediately turned around and ran away, but his speed was too slow in the eyes of Su Ming, who was level 32. Su Ming reached out and grabbed the boy.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Su Ming asked.

The boy seemed to realize that he could not be Su Ming's opponent, so he gave up struggling and answered honestly:
"My name is Aidente. My father is a power boilerman at the bottom of the pyramid. I am here to take him home."

boiler?

Su Ming glanced at the complicated pipes around him. It turned out that these were power pipes, probably providing power for some facilities in the pyramid.

"What's your father's name? Is he still conscious like you?"

Aidente shook his head and said:

"No, my father is dead."

Aiden didn't sound very sad when he said this. Su Ming guessed that he must have known the truth that his father was dead a long time ago.

"Like those lost souls?" Uniko came over and asked.

Aiden did not answer Unique's question. He could directly see the shape of the soul of life. He pointed at Unique and asked in confusion:

"How can birdmen and humans be together? Wait, don't tell me yet, let me guess... You should also be from the future like that person just now."

"The man just now?" Su Ming described the appearance of the Soul Commander to Edente and got Edente's confirmation.

"Sure enough, he followed me. I hope he won't affect my search for gems..." Su Ming muttered.

"Big brother. Will humans and orcs live in harmony in the future?" Aidente asked.

Su Ming was not sure what to answer, but Unicole answered for him:

"We can't say they live in harmony, we can only say they each occupy their own territory. Orcs must abide by human rules in human cities, and humans must abide by orc rules in orc tribes."

"It sounds pretty good." The Aidenite nodded in a childish manner.

"Aident, since you know that your father has become a lost soul, why do you still say you want to find him and bring him home?" Uniko leaned over and asked.

"Because the dead should stay where the dead should be, instead of continuing to work here..." Edent gritted his teeth and said, "Wosom built this pyramid so that humans can serve him in life and after death."

"So how can we save your father?"

"We just need to kill 'Sogo'. He is the manager of the lower pyramid. Damn it. He is a human like us, but he has to serve the orc nobles. They still care about him even after he dies!

I tell you, this Sogo is annoying. The orcs asked us to work five days and rest one day, but he took the lead and worked six days and rested one day. That's not enough, he also suggested to the orcs to cancel the holidays...

Also, if my dad worked more hours, he should have received extra pay, but this guy said something like, "The orcs gave you the opportunity to work, and you dare to ask for money?" Everyone hates him...

If we don’t obey, he will fabricate a reason and report us to the orcs. He works as a dog for the orcs, so the orcs naturally believe him and he has framed many people.”

As Aidente spoke, his fist hardened. He said:

"I have just asked another future person to help me build a robot that can kill Sogo. Do you want to help too?"

System: Do you want to accept the random multiplayer mission "Aident's Justice Robot"?
Mission Description: Edente is fed up with Sogo's exploitation. After discovering the reason why his father cannot truly die, he begins to create the "Justice" robot in an attempt to get rid of Sogo.

Among them, robots No. 1~9 all failed. After improvements, Edent designed the powerful "Justice No. " robot.

Please help Edent to find key materials in the dark, assist him in building the "Justice Ten" robot, and kill Sogo.

Mission Reward: "Justice No. 10" design, 90 gold coins, 000 experience points.

Justice No. 35 (Dark Gold, LV Mechanical Puppet):

Health: 600000/600000
Physical attack power: 12000~16000
Armor: 6000
Magic resistance: 4000
Movement speed: 340
Consumption: 1 pure magic crystal/second

Skills: Justice Missile, Justice Hammer, Justice Pursuit
After seeing the reward, Su Ming took it.

Mechanical puppets like these cannot be carried after they are created, and are not actually for single-player use. In most cases, they are used to protect guild territories.

1 unit of pure magic crystal costs 10 gold coins, which is unaffordable for a single player under normal circumstances.

Su Ming thought that since he was also a member of a guild, and even the vice president, he had to take responsibility for the guild and the players who joined the guild. With the dark gold puppet Justice No. 10, even if the players in the guild were not that powerful, they could try to occupy a territory.

There are many benefits after the guild has a territory.

Seeing that Su Ming agreed, Aiden said happily:

"Great, with the help of you two people from the future, I can definitely defeat Sogo!

But I only have one blueprint of Justice No. 10, I'll give it to whoever kills Sogo. By the way, this is the map of the bottom floor, you go to the area I circled to find the parts, and when you find them, go to the place where I drew the star. "

Aiden gave Su Ming a hand-drawn graffiti map and then slipped away.

Unicole came over and saw the messy map drawn with crayons. She felt a little dizzy and complained:
“Who can understand this…”

"I can." Su Ming looked at Unique with strange eyes and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this quite clear..."

He pointed to the three vertical and three horizontal steam pipes in front of him and explained to Unique:
"Look here, doesn't it correspond to this place on the map? This map not only has the places where the parts are needed, but also has several roads leading to the second floor marked. It's quite detailed."

Unico looked at the pipeline in front of her, then looked at the map... Even with Su Ming's explanation, she still couldn't quite understand it, but as long as she followed Su Ming, she wouldn't think too much about it...
