Chapter 789 Machine Soul
Da Chun grabbed the door handle.

At this moment, the underground monster was already crawling less than ten meters below! Sila was caught off guard, Libnashi was caught off guard, and the magic crystal screen did not display anything!
Holy crap, you guys better back off!

Da Chun deliberately banged on the door to make a loud noise, further attracting the monster's attention.

The monster is now motionless!

Great, you've locked onto me, haven't you? Come on, come on!

Just as the two people behind were pulling hard, and Da Chun, sitting in his wheelchair, couldn't exert any strength at all, the monster vanished instantly!

This speed—

Before Da Chun could think, the screen suddenly flickered and went black, then a red light burst forth:

System notification: Warning! You have encountered an extremely powerful sand demon's spatial devouring attack!

—System notification: Your master-level spatial magic has activated anti-space magic to resist the Sand Demon's spatial devouring...

—System notification: Your master craftsman-level guild skill, Boastful Shield, has been subjected to a corrosive penetration attack…

The next moment, the screen exploded! Another row of system notifications appeared on the screen:

——团队提示：您的团队成员流浪修女茜拉里对沙魔进行伤害打击“-1341”“-1667”“-1741”“-100000”“-100000”……

—Team Notification: Your team member, Head Maid Libnashi, has launched a spatial distortion attack on the Sand Demon with values ​​"-16331", "-17111", and "-21059"...

……

Holy crap! They reacted just as quickly!

Holy crap! Those two 10 damage items from Shirai, is that some kind of artifact?

Eileen's voice came through: "Darling, I'm coming!"

Da Chun felt a beam of light pierce through the screen in the darkness—System notification: Your possessed Mirror God has launched a weak point attack on the Sand Demon's internal organs "-161190!"

The Sand Demon let out a miserable howl, and Da Chun's eyes lit up—it was both starlight from the sky and the glow of battle that was spat out!

In the few seconds that Da Chun was rolling around in his wheelchair, there was another loud explosion, and the Sand Demon let out another miserable howl before the dust settled!
System notification: Congratulations! Your team has defeated the powerful Sand Demon, gaining a large amount of experience points, and you have leveled up to level 57! You have obtained the loot "Flawed Divine Core" and the quest item "Message in a Bottle". You have slain a god-level monster, increasing your Dark Sage reputation and privilege points by 1.3!
—System notification: Your magic crystal instrument has recorded your victory over the powerful Sand Demon. Your reputation with the Holy Emerald City camp has increased, as has your reputation with the Guardian Goddess Felicia.

……

Da Chun was still shaken. This monster was a "flawed divine core," which meant it was a relatively intact evil god. No wonder it was so insidious!
This battle not only added everything that should have been added, but it even increased the reputation with the Guardian God Lia's camp! Excellent! For a god, the higher the reputation, the more faith they have!
At that moment, Silla rushed over, extremely anxious and concerned: "President, are you alright?"

At the same time, a barrage of healing and cleansing spells were unleashed on Da Chun!
Honestly...

Da Chun told the truth: "I was stunned. It was so sudden. I didn't even know what was going on!"

Libnashi said in a deep voice, "It's really too strange. I wasn't prepared at all!"

Da Chun felt exhausted from acting so recklessly, and wanted to see how the Ten Elders would act: "Elder, I've discovered that your damage is astonishing, no less than my Crystal Core Cannon. What kind of damage is that?"

Shelley pulled out a bracelet that sparkled with light: "This is my Chain of Faith. By infusing the bracelet with the power of faith that I have accumulated through my daily cultivation, it can generate great power."

"I don't believe you at all!!" Da Chun said with relief, "It's fortunate that we have you, Elder. These are the crystal cores we just obtained. You should take them back and contribute them to the gang. I'm afraid I might die at any moment and it will be too late."

"Okay, don't worry, President. As long as we take precautions in the next battle, we won't be in such a dangerous situation."

Da Chun then took out the quest item, the bottle letter, and retrieved the letter inside.

—Our exploration of the ruins of Holy Mech City was thwarted by a strange sand demon, forcing us to abandon our mission. Therefore, the Association has decided to make this sand demon a test target. The team that defeats the sand demon will gain the right to use the Ancient Empire's mechanical desert sled and will receive the honorary title of Golden Explorer from the Association!

—System notification: Congratulations! Your reputation with the Imperial Explorers' Guild has increased by 10! Your reputation with the Ruins of the Holy Emerald City camp has increased by 20! Guardian Angel Felipe has gained 20 camp reputation!
……

What the hell!

Da Chun was utterly speechless! This wasn't an assessment; it was a trap! Was the shopkeeper deliberately keeping quiet? If we failed without knowing this, I really wouldn't be able to go back and argue with him!

In a way, this tactic is very similar to some unscrupulous big companies that hold world hacking competitions. On the surface, they set up a problem and offer some prize money, but in reality, they are just hiring world experts at low prices to fix vulnerabilities for the company.

Shirali smiled helplessly: "In any case, we have gained prestige from the association."

Da Chun sighed, “What use is this exploration reputation to someone like me who could be locked up in jail at any time? But Elder, you are different. You must develop it well and continue our cause.”

"Don't worry, President, let's take a look at the sled."

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

Sila was still in shock, and upon seeing the quest letter, she couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, who set up this quest? If it weren't for my good luck, I would be the one who's dead!"

Samuel sighed, "This is the old world. Everything is the result of the system running automatically. If the Holy Angel Ruins City were full of monsters of this caliber, I think... we should just treat it as a tourist trip to the ruins."

Xila showed the crystal core: "This is a relatively complete divine core, which should not have been damaged much by the apocalyptic war. This situation should not exist in the Holy Angel City where the battle was most fierce. There are just more monsters there, but there should not be any monsters stronger than this one. I am very confident about this operation."

Gabriel couldn't stand it anymore: "This Da Chun is such a fat otaku! He not only blocked monsters for you, but he also gave away such a valuable crystal core!"

Raphael laughed and said, "Ah, it's clear how much he cherishes and trusts you."

Sila laughed and said, "So, what is the boss worried about with a guy like this?"

Michael said in a deep voice, "I'm worried he might be possessed by that Andariel! If he is, he might not be so stupid anymore..."

As they were talking, the warehouse door opened, revealing a rough cloth covering something that resembled a speedboat.

Sila's expression at any moment: "President, I'll do it!"

Lifting the rough cloth revealed a speedboat with a gleaming, seamlessly integrated machine mounted at the stern, and a fan-sized propeller behind it.

The lights on the machine turned on automatically and emitted a mechanical voice: "Welcome, please insert the crystal core driver into the circular entrance below the indicator light."

Xila was stunned!
"This is the Machine Soul?" Da Chun was also momentarily confused: "What kind of crystal core are you deploying?"

The machine said, "You decide what to do!"

Holy crap, this is extravagant? I'm supposed to take my crystal cores back to contribute to the guild!
