Chapter 284 The harvest after the fortress fell was huge! Three dwarven relics! (Please subscribe)

Deep within the Pangule Fortress, explosions continued incessantly.

The sudden increase in magical fluctuations was like an impending storm to the command center of the pioneering army outside.

Everyone was anxious because, based on past experience, drastic changes in energy were always accompanied by powerful magic.

Unfortunately, the pioneering team has sent various units to explore, but so far they have been unable to uncover the truth about the eye of the storm.

At that very moment—

(Please remember to visit the super useful website ???α?.?σ? for the fastest chapter updates and to relieve boredom.)

Suddenly, an inspiring report rang out in the command center.

"Attention all units, please confirm again—okay—reporting to Commander-in-Chief! The magical energy reaction inside the fortress is rapidly decreasing."

"Report: Electromagnetic interference intensity has returned to pre-war levels, and communication systems have been fully restored."

How many robots and ammunition has my unit consumed?

"Report: Ammunition loss is only 35%, but robot losses are 6.5%!"

"Um!"

Bi Shengli nodded and instructed his men to continue processing the information.

He sat back in his command position, pressing his index and middle fingers hard against his temples, trying to relieve the mental fatigue brought on by the intense command and observation of the battle today.

While he rested, streams of information flowed into the command center at the front.

Most of it was good news, but there was also a lot of bad news.

Pangulet Fortress, the underground fortress that the dwarves were so proud of, was being slowly devoured by them.

Using their familiarity with the terrain, the dwarves destroyed many key passages, attempting to divide the massive fortress into isolated islands and delay humanity's advance.

Their resistance was exceptionally fierce, and the endless stream of ancient traps caused considerable trouble for the robot army.

On the screen, a cold, mechanical number continued to tick—it was the loss report of the mechanized unit.

Seven thousand five hundred mechanical wolves, three thousand seven hundred humanoid robots, and six thousand drones of various types have been lost.

Behind these numbers lies the consumption of massive numbers of robots and special ammunition.

If real people were to attack this place, it would definitely be a localized battle!

However, this is just wear and tear on the robot.

For today's pioneering teams, this is a negligible number.

These losses, when converted into actual production capacity, are roughly equivalent to the customized production capacity of a military robot factory operating 22 hours a day.

Yes, that's just the 22-hour production capacity of a military factory.

If Industrial Cthulhu were to enter full production mode, converting a large number of military and civilian factories, and even noodle machine manufacturers that can produce airplanes, into factories that produce robots, the speed could be expanded tens of thousands of times—or even more!

This is the productivity improvement brought about by technological upgrading. Technological progress has directly transformed traditional production relations, allowing only a very small number of people to accomplish the production that previously required tens of thousands of technicians.

Seeing that Bi Shengli was still rubbing his temples, the adjutant hesitated for a moment before quietly reporting, "President Bi, President Li has sent an inquiry!"

Bi Shengli slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot: "What did President Li ask?"

"Inquire about the required equipment, weapons, and ammunition!"

Bi Shengli breathed a sigh of relief: "How's the progress? How many dwarves have we killed?"

"Report: Our unit has conquered 72% of the dwarven territory. Conservative estimates suggest we can completely capture Pangule Fortress within 12 hours. The third rotation of troops has taken over. Currently, only Assault Team Six's signal is experiencing some issues due to magical interference and has not yet been uploaded. All other units have killed a total of 2400 corrupted dwarves!"

"Report! The Sixth Assault Team reports that they have captured the main road of the area and confirmed the killing of 321 corrupted dwarf guards one minute ago!"

Bi Shengli nodded and was about to speak when a new message suddenly arrived.

"Report! Team 15 has been attacked by dwarven heavy armor units! Due to the close proximity, Sergeant Yang Siping activated his individual subnuclear warhead, perishing together with the target."

"Report: The explosion has caused a collapse in the tunnel; engineering troops are urgently excavating!"

There was a moment of silence in the command center.

sacrifice!

That's how war is; every inch of land gained can be accompanied by the sacrifice of loyal soldiers.

"Report! Squad 15's follow-up units have discovered a new passage in the landslide area—Report, battle! Squad 15 has completed the clearing of the enemy, killing a total of nine Corrupted Dwarves!"

Battle reports came in again, some good and some bad.

Bi Shengli's expression didn't change much. Even though humans had made a lot of preparations, bringing over large numbers of various types of combat robots, suicide robots, and drones, the war was still so cruel and sudden.

To date, the unit has lost 21 soldiers and the number of wounded has risen to 50!

However, compared to the dwarves who hid in caves and possessed considerable offensive power, the human losses were truly minimal.

In fact, in open areas, humans can completely achieve beyond-visual-range, non-contact combat, making themselves completely invisible to the dwarves.

Unfortunately, they were fighting a brutal urban warfare battle.

Fortunately, the human pioneer team was well-prepared and relied on fierce firepower to confuse the enemy.

Otherwise, if the dwarves were given time to react, and given their talent for digging and their various preparations, the casualties suffered by humans would be dozens of times greater, or even higher.

Fortunately, the timing, location, and human factors are all on humanity's side.

After the dwarves mobilized a fighting force from the Pangulet fortress base, and with their internal defenses severely weakened, their defeat was already inevitable!

It's just a matter of how much loss, how big the loss will be, and how long it will take to destroy the opponent!

As various pieces of information were being compiled, the next report arrived, and the communications soldier's tone was noticeably strange.

"Report—we have discovered—uh, discovered 325 female prisoners of various ethnicities being held captive in a barracks in Sector D."

"This must be the dwarves' special barracks."

The communications soldier seemed to be organizing his thoughts.

"We rescued thirty-five elves, seventy-six humans, and orcs—uh, I should say cats, foxes, uh, about sixty-something—cough cough—we discovered several female lizardman victims—" The soldier's tone was strange on the other end of the call. He added, "—These dwarves have quite the unique taste."

"I'm so sorry! Someone come quick! Where's the translator? Tell them we're here to rescue them, and that they should come with us!"

"We need clothes!"

"Report, do you need to see the battlefield information?"

"No need. Have the soldiers be vigilant and ensure the victims have the right to privacy!"

The pioneering team are civilized people; this time, the soldiers discovered far too many victims.

Based on the most basic and simple moral values, no one paid attention to any of that.

One female soldier stated directly, "These victims need to be carefully vetted by psychological experts; be careful, they might also be corrupt!"

"Oh? Okay, then!"

"Hiss—so many victims!"

"These otherworldly women are so strange, are those fox ears?"

"Don't you dare look around like that—"

"Damn dwarf, these guys have such high libido, there's even a hairy female freak! Damn, weren't these corrupted guys supposed to be decapitation maniacs?"

"He might be someone who believes in some kind of desire!"

"No wonder! Where are the clothes!"

"The urgently requested clothes are being transported over there, don't worry! First, calm them down, give them bottled water and things like that, and try to prevent them from acting impulsively!"

"There are no women here! Many victims are emotionally numb, while others are emotionally agitated!"

"First, establish a security perimeter in the vicinity to protect these victims."

"Hey—something's not right. Why are some of the victims attacking us?—Don't come any closer! Don't remove their shackles! These poor people have been tortured terribly; they probably can't tell right from wrong anymore!"

"Ouch—why is this orc attacking me—"

The communication channel was filled with the cacophony of soldiers' voices.

Inside the command center, all units listened quietly to everything!

Several female soldiers responsible for information processing gritted their teeth and underwent surgery.

Some of the male soldiers exchanged glances, some shook their heads, some were curious, and then they became serious again.

Bi Shengli's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly, then furrowed again. He immediately ordered, "Confirm their identities and ensure their safety. Do not harm them! Tell them we are here to rescue them."

He tapped the table, emphasizing his words: "Also, take a complete, unedited photograph of the scene, and keep plenty of photos. This is the best evidence to prove the dwarves' evil deeds and condemn their wickedness."

"clear!"

Although the adjutant's face didn't show much expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He could already imagine the incredible expressions on the faces of those who called humans barbarians when the massive amounts of censored videos of the Mithril Clan's atrocities were made public.

Just then, an encrypted communication request entered the command channel. It had an extremely high level of access and a special note.

"Report, it's that mysterious person's communication channel!"

After Lin Li transformed into a burly, dark-skinned man, he contacted Su Mingjin and not only gained access to a single-soldier nuclear weapon but also a fixed communication channel. This allowed him to unlock many locally authorized pieces of equipment.

Meanwhile, the various units of the pioneering team received new orders: as long as they do not violate core principles, such as indiscriminate killing of innocent people or interference with other people's policies, they can help the forces behind the mysterious person to the greatest extent possible.

For the incredibly conservative Industrial Cthulhu, which never forms alliances, this is an almost unique, loosely connected ally from another world.

So when the message request was submitted, Bi Shengli's expression hardened, and he immediately answered the call.

A voice, distinctly dwarven in its ruggedness and tinged with languor, came through the microphone: "Hello, are you the frontline leader of the human pioneering team?"

A friend of the mysterious man?

Bi Shengli suddenly stood up from his seat, his tense nerves finally relaxing completely.

He could even hear his own heart pounding.

"Yes, hello, my name is Bi Shengli!"

"Yes, he contacted you before. I'm currently fighting at Pangule Fortress. I just lifted the destruction order from the final agreement! Pangule Fortress is safe! The dwarven supreme commander, Rais, is now in my hands; they will be handed over to you for trial. I'm sending you some detailed information; send someone to receive Rais as soon as possible. Oh—Arsenal Number One has a lot of high-value equipment; they might be able to help you better understand the technology here! Consider them part of your reward for dealing with the Corruptors."

Bi Shengli took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice from sounding too agitated: "Very good, thank you for your help. How are things on your end? Do you need any support?"

"I'm fine, it's just that this place is a bit messy from all the blasting, but your weapons are surprisingly effective~" The burly dwarf's voice on the other end of the microphone carried a hint of relief. "I've caught the dwarf's big fish. Its soul has been corrupted by the chaos of higher dimensions, beyond saving! I just sent the coordinates, did you receive them?"

Bi Shengli looked at the technician, who held up his hand and gestured "0".

"We have received it!"

"Send someone to collect the spoils. Oh, and—" the tone shifted abruptly, adding, "Have your men prepare medical stretchers and a doctor. Some of the spoils here, hmm, involve rather serious injuries—"

"Okay, our support team will be here soon!"

Pangule Fortress, the core area of ​​Arsenal No. 1.

The scorching air, which had not yet returned to normal temperature, was filled with a strong, metallic smell.

Lin Li lowered his eyes to look at the thing at his feet that could barely be identified as human.

The dwarven elder Rais, the supreme commander of the Mithril Clan at Pangulet Fortress, now resembled a doll wantonly destroyed by a mischievous child, its limbs almost completely severed.

His torso was covered with fine wounds, as if he had been cut into pieces a thousand times.

The powerful dwarven healing potion splashed on him caused the bleeding wounds to stop, and he was still breathing.

Lin immediately spared his life.

He had used the most rudimentary method to stop Rice's bleeding, ensuring he wouldn't die and could hold on until the pioneer team arrived, living for a few more days.

This scum, corrupted by the chaos of higher dimensions and utterly devoid of humanity, should stand before the souls of all the innocent victims, face a public trial for their crimes, and then be executed.

Lin Li squatted down and patted Rice's face expressionlessly.

"I'll ask you one last time: what exactly is hidden in the secret vault of the armory? What are the incantations and steps to break the magical seal?"

Rice made a hoarse sound in his throat, blood and foam gushed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained fierce, like a beast whose teeth had been pulled out.

He stared intently at Lin Li, refusing to utter a single word.

"You're really stubborn."

Lin Li wasn't annoyed; he simply stood up.

He stopped asking.

After spending almost half an hour trying to get the answer, I tried another method.

"Laplace's Demon".

Lin Li silently recited in his heart.

Meow~

Have you thought it through? My prices are fair, and I'm honest with everyone!

"Unlock the secret vault of Armory One, all information."

Meow~

[Sincere offer: 60 units of Spacetime Source Matter.]

Lin Li's eye twitched violently.

Sixty spacetime source substances!

Why don't you, you wretched cat, go and steal it?!

"Give me a discount, and I'll send you some dried fish another day!"

Meow~

This cat doesn't eat dried fish! Take it or leave it, no credit, no bargaining~

Laplace's voice was lazy and soft, but it offered no conditions for a price reduction.

"Payment."

Lin Li gritted his teeth to confirm.

A stream of information rushed into my mind, containing almost everything about how to access the secret vault.

Why "almost"? Because Laplace's demon didn't provide him with the crucial spell.

"Where's the spell?"

Meow~

"Is that a different price?"

Lin Li felt as if his heart was bleeding.

That damn cat, it just loves to categorize and charge for things.

I've suffered because I'm uneducated.

When I get back, I must spend some spacetime essence to read through all the dwarven rune technology books that I have compiled and backed up, without missing a single word!

Lin Li's gaze swept over the magnificent armor stained with blood next to him. After thinking for a moment, he put it directly into his personal space.

This thing is well-made. I'll take it back and study it; it might come in handy later.

Yes, it can also be given to the pioneering team!

They also took Rice's magical identification device.

After doing all this, Lin Li looked around the No. 1 armory.

The final agreement implemented by the dwarves was a complete purge, which, although energy-intensive, would ensure everyone's safety once the troops withdrew to a safe area.

This is also a good technique for dealing with internal corruption and fel contamination among dwarves.

Perhaps because this is the secret chamber where the final agreement was released, there aren't many armories stored here, but it does contain many secrets of the dwarven Pangul fortress.

For example, more comprehensive traffic maps and various well-arranged defense measures.

Of course, there are also a relatively small number of heavy armor cans, rune weapons, and other equipment.

Unfortunately, there were only a few dozen sets of those items. Lin Li had already found quite a few in other armories, so he only needed to keep two sets for himself.

Having too many of them wouldn't make them valuable for collection.

These things can be left to the pioneering team for them to study.

Lin Li, now transformed into Gaizul's clone, carrying a runic key he had taken from Rais, walked to the heavy stone door of the secret vault.

He evenly spread the fresh blood he had smeared on Rice onto the groove in front of the key.

The groove immediately began to glow with a pale red light.

That was the initial sign that the Rune Gate had been activated.

Lying on the ground, Rice watched Lin Li's movements, a barely perceptible hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, and a hoarse sneer escaped his throat.

"Traitor—even if you possess my sacred blood—without noble incantations, without the affirmation of the ancestral spirits—you can forget about it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Li turned around and gave him a bright smile.

That smile sent a shiver down Rice's spine; the experience just now had been too terrifying.

His smile is more terrifying than the devil's.

I can't afford to provoke them any further!

Then, Rice looked around at the more than twenty heavily armored tanks and various weapons hanging around him, and then at his own physical condition, feeling both pain and despair.

Seeing that the other party was intimidated by him, Lin Li ignored him and silently looked to the side.

Meow meow meow~~

The illusory image of the tabby cat, visible only to Lin Li, perched on his shoulder, chanting a spell that only he could hear.

Whether it was Laplace's demon deliberately concealing something or not, Lin Li couldn't hear what was said at all.

"Damn dongle!" Lin Li cursed.

As Laplace's incantation was finished, the complex runes and energy patterns on the stone door suddenly lit up brightly, followed by a buzzing sound, and then slowly opened inward.

Upon hearing the door open, Rice was immediately moved.

His bulging eyes were wide open like copper bells, staring intently at the slowly opening stone door, as if he were witnessing the most incredible thing in the world.

How did he know the spell?!

Who exactly is this person?

How could he so easily crack the secret that I risked my life to protect?

Could he really be Gaizur?

He spent so much time pretending to be a tough guy, and in the end—he just became a joke?

"No—impossible—"

He managed to squeeze out a few desperate syllables, then his head lolled to the side and he lost consciousness completely.

It's a reaction of anger, and also a self-preservation mechanism stemming from an unwillingness to accept the harsh reality!

Lin Li ignored Rice's horrified expression and pushed open the heavy rune door. An even more ancient aura, mixed with metallic and rich magical energy, rushed out.

The sight inside the secret vault made his eyes light up!

The secret vault was not large. There were no towering Titan creations as he had imagined, no mountains of magic scrolls and rare metals, and no exquisitely crafted, almost unique, dwarven weapons of all kinds!

The space wasn't large, and multiple beams of magical light descended from the magic stones on the dome, like spotlights on a stage, precisely illuminating the area below the vault.

Below the beams of light, there were five items suspended in total—no, there were five beams of light in total!

In the very center, a pendant-like object, no bigger than a thumb, floats silently.

It sits right in the center, attracting the most attention from the crowd.

Because all the light shines on it.

The thing had a peculiar shape and was solidified within a beam of magical light.

According to Laplace's Demon, this is similar to some kind of magical holding field, which can minimize the natural wear and tear and decomposition of its items.

These technologies, which could only be mastered in the age of interstellar civilizations, are now in the hands of dwarves who cannot even build large airplanes.

Thinking of the dwarves' former power, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh.

Closer to home!

The pendant in front of me is not small, about the same size as human jewelry pendants, resembling an irregular polyhedron.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that its surface is covered with incredibly intricate miniature patterns that are almost unbelievable, shimmering with a cold light that is somewhere between metal and crystal, and possessing a kind of cyberpunk-style geometric beauty.

Of the other four beams of light, two were empty, and a magical beam of light converged and enveloped a one-handed sword that looked extraordinary. No, judging from the dwarf's height and hand size, this thing should be a two-handed longsword!

However, the hilt and grip of this sword are quite thick, and they are covered with intricate patterns. At first glance, the material appears to be a common matte black.

"A weapon that needs to be protected by magical sustaining equipment? What kind of weapon is this?"

Meow~

"Ten Source Essences to tell me? Heh heh, I'll try it myself later. Anyway, it's just a weapon!"

It's not some high-powered weapon; it's just a personal weapon.

Judging from the price Laplace's demon is demanding for spacetime essence, this thing is probably not very valuable.

Besides this, there's something else.

It was a strange black box that looked ordinary but had a surface covered with fine lines.

Apart from the sword, the rest were things whose functions were not immediately apparent.

Lin Li frowned.

He turned and walked over to the unconscious Rice, and kicked the mangled torso again.

"The sacred relics that your Mithril clan has been hiding away, risking the lives of your entire clan to protect, are just a few pendants?"

Rice seemed to be in a deep coma, and despite being kicked several times, he didn't wake up. He was unable to answer Lin Li's questions.

"Laplace's Demon, what are these things? How do we get them?" Lin Li asked.

Meow~

You're so fierce!

The phantom of the tabby cat licked its paw on his shoulder.

Lin Li's face darkened: "I just want to know what these things are!"

Meow, these aren't just little trinkets, they're sacred artifacts left over from the dwarven interstellar era, which the dwarves call relics!

Don't let their small size fool you; when they're in their complete state, they're amazing treasures that can set off stars like fireworks!

Lin Li's breathing suddenly stopped.

A weapon that uses stars as fireworks?

His gaze was fixed on the three things in front of him.

The strange sword, the strange pendant, and the strange black box made his heart start pounding uncontrollably.

He had just reached out when he abruptly pulled his hand back.

His previous experience left a deep impression on him!

Previously, Lin Li wanted to steal some items from other dwarven armories, but he accidentally fell into a magic trap. His energy clone was almost burned to ashes. If he hadn't immediately sent his clone back and used spacetime source matter to repair it, his clone would have been burned to death!

"Is there any danger? Can I take it directly?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Meow~

Want to know?

Laplace's cat eyes narrowed into slits.

Give me another 150 units of spacetime essence, and I can strip away the outer energy shield. No kidding, meow~

"One hundred and fifty? Fifty each?"

No, 150 each time!

Lin Li's eye twitched violently again.

He subconsciously glanced at his remaining spacetime source matter, and the number made him feel a pang of pain.

That damned shrewd businessman, he knew he would definitely be tempted!

Once this money is spent, my reserve of spacetime energy will be almost depleted.

Fortunately, the Time Cube that Laplace's demon gave him is still active, and he can earn a few Time Elemental Essence rebates every day.

"Should we give it to the pioneering team?"

Can----

A weapon capable of destroying a star?

This is such an amazing toy, I can't even touch it myself!

I'll just touch it and play with it!

"Pay!"

Lin Li gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

Meow~ Thank you for your patronage~

The phantom cat, transformed from Laplace's demon, yawned contentedly.

The next second, the invisible energy barrier surrounding the pendant vanished silently, like a soap bubble that had been popped.

Having lost buoyancy, the pendant, the longsword, and the black box slowly descended from mid-air.

Lin Li reacted quickly, stepping forward and catching the pendant and the black box steadily.

The tip of the other sword plunged directly below.

Lin Li's pupils contracted.

"This sword seems incredibly sharp!"

Even when dropped from a height of three meters, the sword easily pierced through the underground alloy plate to a depth of several centimeters.

Lin Li grabbed it and found that the sword could be easily lifted.

"What a divine weapon! What a powerful tool!"

Lin Li was overjoyed.

After putting the items away, I looked at the remaining two items.

The black box felt cold to the touch and weighed at least 5 kilograms, not nearly as small as it looked.

The pendant feels very light!

"How do you use these two things?"

He examined it closely, but couldn't find a single button.

Meow~

The tabby cat's voice rang out again, its voice cute and innocent, yet filled with greed and treachery.

[Detailed instructions for using this equipment are available. Price: 500 Time-Space Essence]

"What the hell?!?"

Lin Li's temples bulged with veins as he barely suppressed the urge to drag this unscrupulous merchant out and beat him up.

He glanced at his already depleted spacetime essence and decided not to be a sucker for now.

He tried to store the three items into his personal storage space.

The black box and the unremarkable sword were easily put away, but the pendant remained motionless, as if it were generating some kind of repulsive force with its surroundings.

"what?"

Meow~

Laplace explained lazily.

[Here's a free tip! This item has super-powerful space compression technology, incompatible with space and time, so it can't fit inside, meow~]

Lin Li's face darkened. He had no choice but to put it on and hang it around his neck like a necklace.

Just then, the sounds of mechanical wolves and robots, unique to the pioneering team, stomping on the ground could be heard in the distance.

"Don't shoot, we're on the same side!" Lin Li, now a dwarf, spoke directly in Chinese.

The robots immediately turned their guns in other directions.

Before long, Zhao led a team of elite warriors and rushed in.

Zhao glanced around and noticed that several heavy rune doors had been violently broken open from the outside, and that all of these rune doors were tilted inwards.

Looking at the missing hinges of the rune gates, Zhao wondered what methods the other party had used to destroy the protection of these gates.

After passing through several doors, they saw several guards who had been dead for a long time, as well as Rice, who had been chopped into a human stick.

Even the seasoned soldiers, accustomed to life and death, gasped in shock.

Because Rice's slices of meat were carelessly tossed far away, they clearly suffered a lot of torment.

"My dwarf friend, are you alright?"

He quickly stepped forward to inquire, then looked around.

Seeing the perfectly intact heavy-duty cans in the distance, and then looking at the other equipment in the vault, his breathing became rapid.

Humans have been dealing with dwarves for so long, encountering hundreds of heavily armored dwarves, but only in the early stages did they manage to headshot one heavily armored dwarf and luckily obtain a relatively complete dwarf head.

This time, they actually found two sets of repackaged cans that were almost undamaged—no, at least 22 sets.

This means that humanity can now have multiple research institutes work together to crack the dwarves' rune armor technology.

Seeing Zhao looking around, Lin Li chuckled inwardly, then said, "I'm fine. They and the things in the secret vault are all yours!"

"Friend, what do we need to do?"

"Save him, let him live until judgment! Behind you lies the core of Pangula Fortress; its key nodes have been extracted. If needed, I will activate it—"

Lin Li briefly explained the final agreement regarding Pangula Fortress.

Upon hearing that the final agreement was to kill everyone and the invaders as the last line of defense for the Pangula Fortress, Zhao and the others were all terrified.

Fortunately, their mysterious dwarf friends solved their problem.

Otherwise, the pioneering team would have lost tens of thousands of warriors!

After Lin Li finished his introduction, the dwarf figure he was disguised as glowed with a faint white light in Zhao's eyes. Then he began to become transparent, and then—completely disappeared into the air.

This was his unique exit strategy for this dwarf disguise; each clone had different details, all to conceal his true identity.

After Lin Li's clone left, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao.

Zhao Huicong immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie: "Reporting to command, we have arrived at the core area of ​​Warehouse No. 1. There are many important dwarven assets here. We request on-site defensive setup! And we request firepower and heavy weapon support!"

"Command received. Reinforcements and heavy firepower units have been dispatched. Protect the area."

"OK."

In the modern world, after Lin Li left, the cool pendant appeared in his hand.

I looked down at this strangely shaped thing. It was cold to the touch, but I could feel a strong energy fluctuation.

At this moment, Lin Li felt as if he were holding a sun that could explode at any moment.

Once I've accumulated enough spacetime essence, I absolutely must get Laplace's demon to tell me how to use this thing!

wrong!

"I could have learned it myself!"
