Chapter 386: Void Robot, Leave Beelzebub Alone
Just when Dachun was observing the tree spirit jungle below from Laoliu's perspective, a large ball of frost fell from the sky, instantly smashing down the swarm of insects in the jungle. Not only that, the entire jungle was smashed with crackling snowflakes flying everywhere!

Dachun was shocked. How could this be frost? Shirley had clearly learned the high-end magic hail!

It's been less than a week and Shirley has improved so much!

Well, after all, she also has Fafner's complete set of teaching materials, plus I inherited and trained an expert rune mage! Plus a high-end flying artifact to assist her in actual combat, it's natural for her to become stronger quickly.

Dachun then asked Laoliu, "Is Shirley's hailstorm operation to help protect your growth?"

Lao Liu sang cheerfully, "Of course, my goal is to recruit all 318 tree spirits in this level as my followers. They don't obey me yet, so I need to constantly show them how powerful I am. Once I have these followers, I can move on to the next level!"

Holy crap, 318! I've counted them all! This number is no less than the villagers above.

Dachun sighed, "That's good. It's better than our previous plan to kill them and build a magic ship."

Lao Liu smiled and said, "Of course we can build magic ships. As long as they obey, we can trim some branches from them to use as materials. Their bodies can also be used to grow medicinal moss, which is more effective than farming in the fields."

Damn leek tree!
Dachun was surprised: "Lao Liu, you know a lot?"

"Shirley told me all that!"

Ah, you are corrupting the future seedlings!

Dachun asked again, "Besides Shirley, did the villagers teach you anything?"

Lao Liu said, "It was only Shirley who spoke to me. None of the other villagers showed up."

Huh? Dachun suddenly came to his senses and remembered something.

Shirley is Fafner's undercover student, my undisclosed contracted master mage. To the village, she's effectively an outsider. Given the village's tendency to conceal its strength and guard against outsiders, Shirley shouldn't have such a special status. After all, if I allowed Biliana to infiltrate the village, I had to go back a hundred years to register her.

But now it seems that the situation is obviously not as simple as I imagined.

The only variable that comes to mind is that Nan Hill came to the village last time.

After all, after two centuries of time travel, history has changed twice.

One time, the village beauty Xiaobai's grandfather was the former Minister of Health of Black Flag Island. It was Nan Hill who knew the plague was about to break out and had him evacuated in advance, hence the wheelchair. This shows that Nan Hill's reputation in the village was already quite high. Not to mention this time around, Nan Hill also smuggled Silver City's mithril and embezzled it!
Another time to change myself is still unknown!

But there is no doubt that Nan Hill must have deepened the layout of the village.

If that's the case, there's no need for me to think so much. It's actually pretty good to just idle and lie down.

Just as Dachun was observing and thinking, there seemed to be new movement on the trumpet side.

Dachun switched to his secondary account and saw that there was movement in the library near Xiaohua. Michael came again.

At this time, the Ugly Emperor greeted Michael enthusiastically: "Mr. Sage, I have good news for you. Mr. Gauss is willing to join our archaeological team!"

Damn, the Ugly Emperor is so awesome!

Michael was equally surprised: "It's a real honor for our team to have Mr. Gauss here."

Gauss said, "I just haven't found a friend to chat with in a long time. Mr. Heiwa and I have endless topics to talk about!"

Heiwa...

Michael said excitedly, "Actually, I have some good news for you. I've found our fourth member. He's a combat repair robot with great intelligence and magical abilities. Are you interested in visiting the repair shop?"

The Ugly Emperor was delighted: "Robots? Very good, very good. I think four of them are enough!"

Michael smiled and said, "Of course. One of its crew members can replace more than a dozen ordinary crew members, and it can also save a lot of water and food."

Gauss was surprised and said, "Such a powerful robot, I'm really interested in taking a look."

Michael smiled and said, "Then please come in, gentlemen!"

The Ugly Emperor chuckled and said, "You are too polite, Mr. Sage."

After saying that, he brought the flower pot over.

Dachun immediately felt something was wrong. Robots, clearly meant for surveillance! If they were monitoring, how could Mother Earth and Gauss continue to study the calculations of the Nature Spirit?

We chatted all the way and arrived at the maintenance plant.

Dachun was instantly stunned by this grand facility, which resembled a space station from a sci-fi movie. This was the technology of the Golden Empire! While I was still thinking about building a magic ship out of wood, they were toying with void battleships made of unknown materials!

Michael pointed ahead and said, "That's her. You can call her Miss Tifana!"

Suddenly, there was a beautiful woman with a top half and a bottom half... a scorpion? A mantis? A spider?
The Ugly Emperor and Gauss were also shocked: "This..."

Michael smiled and said, "This is the optimal body shape. The upper body is human, making it easy to repair. The lower body is multi-legged, which is good for balance and mobility, and can also easily climb. It is convenient for combat and of course, it is easy to repair. The wings on the back can unfold, allowing it to glide through the void. The wings can also absorb void energy to replenish consumption. She is made of magic metal and magic carbon fiber. There are two magic guns on her side, and the power of her spells is also very powerful..."

Dachun was completely stunned by the strength of the Ten Lords! The pile of artifacts they encountered before were already unstoppable, and now this kind of robot appeared...

The robot also greeted: "Greetings, gentlemen! I will quickly learn the knowledge of void spaceships within this precious day, so please rest assured, my friends!"

Dachun felt that the voice sounded strangely familiar! And her name sounded familiar too, Tifa plus Na?

The Ugly Emperor chuckled and said, "Just call me Mr. Clown! Our journey will surely be a colorful one with such a beautiful... young lady by our side."

Gauss nodded approvingly: "It is indeed an exquisite streamlined body shape!"

The robot looked at the Ugly King and asked, "Mr. Clown, do you have to hold flowers when you walk?"

Damn it! ?
The Ugly Emperor laughed and said, "This is a precious gift from Mr. Sage. We can also study what changes will occur in the void."

The robot then asked, "What tricks can Mr. Clown perform?"

The Ugly Emperor pulled out a deck of cards and said, "I'll demonstrate a one-handed shuffle..."

Can you please stop playing poker? I'm playing poker too. It would be really troublesome if Shiba associates you and me together!

The robot laughed happily: "I believe that with Mr. Clown here, our journey will be even more interesting..."

The conversation below was full of laughter, but Dachun broke out in a cold sweat. Was this really a robot? And not some highly intelligent NPC?

I had originally thought that my Void account could get on board, but now it seems that it is difficult!

Perhaps we should change our strategy. They can explore on their own, and I'll continue absorbing energy and evolving in the void. Just as I was struggling with this, Elen sent a message: "I eliminated one and obtained a Beelzebub Essence! It will definitely be useful, dear."

Ah! It's not easy. It took me so long to kill one person with a mace. What would it be like if I had just used a normal attack?
The next moment, a ball of white light was teleported down by Ailian.

Dachun looks at the attributes - High-level Beelzebub Soul Essence: After using absorption, you can gain Beelzebub's demonic power, improve your title ability and scavenger professional ability.

Damn, this is really "cannibalism"! This Beelzebub is really high-level!
Dachun couldn't judge: "If I use this essence, will I also become the devil Beelzebub?"

Ailian was surprised and said, "I don't know! But this is indeed a real improvement, right? As long as these hundreds of maggots are eliminated, the essence improvement obtained will definitely be beyond imagination."

Dachun thought about it and decided to be safe: "Let's collect all the soul essences first. I won't use them yet."

Ailian was surprised: "Ah, dear, you actually want to refuse the temptation of improving your strength?"

Dachun was also stimulated by the advanced technology of the Ten Lords' robots. He smiled helplessly: "Once my attributes change to a demon, I'm afraid my strength will not be invincible yet. The end will not be just a simple jail term. Maybe it will also implicate you."

Ailian smiled and said, "That's right. Then let's eliminate its threat first..."

With the first maggot being eliminated, our mace troops became more and more proficient, and another Beelzebub Essence was teleported down.

Dachun discovered that this thing was the same as the Earth Flame Crystal Core, and two of them could be merged to form a brighter ball of light.

OK, it is easier to save after merging and it won’t take up space.

Then Dachun thought of something. This Beelzebub must be a demonic spirit that has left his body to possess me. But what about his true form? If the soul dies, the true form will also die, right?
Last time I killed a Beelzebub in the restroom of the Black Iron Church, and it made a wall of shit. Will this one explode shit now?

This isn't Black Iron City, where the Ten Lords are stationed. How dare the old woman immediately cover it up with a methane explosion? If the manure explodes, the Ten Lords stationed in Bronze City will definitely know about it, and they'll definitely find out it was Beelzebub! And Beelzebub wouldn't have exploded the manure sooner or later, but he did it right after I showed up. It must be related to me!

Holy crap! Once this chain of suspicion spreads, everything related to Beelzebub will be linked to me. Then my smurf could still be exposed? Even if a human wouldn't think that way, AI intelligence can infer this possibility!
Dachun figured out the pros and cons. Not only could he not eat the essence, he couldn't kill Beelzebub either!
Dachun was shocked and quickly instructed: "Ailian, we can't kill them all. Just keep a small portion of them locked up."

Ailian was surprised and said, "This is very risky. If he runs away, our secret will be exposed."

Indeed, Beelzebub is good at spatial movement, so this risk cannot be taken.

Dachun thought for a moment and said, "Wait a few days before killing him!"

After all, it is much safer to wait a few days before blowing up the manure than to do it now.

Ailian smiled and said, “This way, although we have to keep some of them, we won’t let them grow easily for a few days. We’ll beat them half to death now.”

Consider it carefully!
Dachun was very relieved: "Okay, please don't kill him!"

Then, shit can’t be blown up for no reason, we have to create some focus to confuse the attention of the Ten Lords, right?
Dachun immediately thought of the enthusiastic players from the Royal Branch when they were first extradited. He could let them stir things up, right? But he couldn't really let them become red-named and affect development.

Dachun thought about it and decided that he could only find Zhou Qing, so he called Zhou Qing: "Leader!"

Zhou Qing smiled: "Hello, Chun Ge, are you satisfied with your lunch?"

Dachun smiled: "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "What's the matter, Chun Ge?"

Dachun didn't know what to say. "I need players from Bronze City to perform some special and abstract actions in the city. It would be best if they don't become red-named."

Zhou Qing was surprised: "What is abstract behavior?"

Dachun laughed helplessly and said, "They're probably just trying to attract attention, but no one else knows what they're doing. They're like crazy people. It would be best if they were hanging around the church or the City Lord's Mansion."

Zhou Qing was surprised and said, "No matter what the players in Bronze City are doing, everyone will think it is related to Chun Ge. Their purpose must be to rescue Chun Ge, right?"

Uh... that's the truth, the Ten Boss must still think so!

Dachun said helplessly, "Although everyone thinks so, we firmly refuse to admit it. By the way, Bronze City's specialty is fireworks, right? Can we set them off from time to time?"

After all, once the fireworks explode, they will trigger a methane explosion, and all kinds of exploding manure and the like can cover it up.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Fireworks are festive items, so they're a bit expensive. But since it's Brother Chun's request, I'll contact Brother Royal Dragon right away to make the arrangements. By the way, how long will this abstract behavior last?"

Dachun smiled bitterly: "I don't know either, maybe a few days? Actually, there's no need to set off fireworks every day."

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

After hanging up the phone, Dachun felt helpless as he had to go far away, avoid the important and try to beat around the bush.

By the way, in order to allow the Ugly Emperor to read without being suspected, just for this little thing, he mobilized the power of the top boss of the five major cities and organized various reading and art festival activities in the five major cities.

But I have to say, the effect is very good! It made me forget that my original purpose was actually to study.

……

The following time was spent by Ailian constantly collecting the essence of Beelzebub. After collecting more than two hundred essences in an hour, the essence condensed into a crystal core!

Dachun almost couldn't help himself! But when he thought about absorbing this crystal core, maybe his strength ranking would explode to 10th place among the ten masters. The consequences were unimaginable, so he held back.

Finally, Ailian asked, "Honey, there are more than 20 left. They've all been defeated. Can we close it now?"

"Close it, and send someone to guard it day and night."

"that's for sure."

The Beelzebub threat has been resolved for now. I guess Bronze City's only powerful Beelzebub is this one. Even if the Beelzebub family notices something's amiss and attacks me... well, we'll have to wait and see how they react.

As for the rest of the time, Dachun found that he had nothing to do, so he decided to take a nap for the whole afternoon. But sleeping just for the sake of sleeping was a waste of time, and he would be too restless to fall asleep.

Just then, Mina came over and said, "I found that the master is sleeping in the same room with a group of people, and these people are sleeping very soundly. Maybe we can have some fun with them."

Dachun's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, entering someone's dream and stealing some of their dream essence?"

Mina smiled and said, "That's what I mean. Master, are you interested?"

I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I'm really interested!

Dachun became excited: "Everyone has fought hard just now, don't worry, rest and recover first."

Mina smiled and said, "It's not hard. The victory in the battle has made us very energetic. There's no need for everyone to go. A large scale will scare the other party awake. Just the two of us can deal with the dreams of ordinary people..."
