Mobile City Travel Guide

After talking with Peter, Li Xin began to take a walk on the deck.

The Xinghuo ship had not yet sailed far away. The wind blew from the mountains, carrying the faint smell of burnt grass and trees, making people involuntarily cover their noses.

Although this time I not only failed to find any treasure, but almost caused a huge mess, I at least completed the "archaeologist" task and received a reward of 1500 evolution points.

Now, I can evolve new items again.

"What should I evolve this time?" he couldn't help but wonder.

1500 evolution points isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either; it's enough to evolve at least one truly useful branch.

Initially, Li Xin planned to upgrade a vehicle, such as a drone or a missile. However, after his gaze inadvertently fell on a spot on the deck, he suddenly had an idea.

That was an iron ingot that had just been refined on the Starfire.

Item Name: Iron Ingot

[Description: The most basic and practical production resource in a mobile city; with it, you can build almost anything.]

[Evolutionary Branch:]

[Iron Union Heavy Industry Iron Ingot: This iron ingot is manufactured using Iron Union's rugged and powerful heavy industrial processes, resulting in a 10% increase in density, hardness, strength, and heat resistance. Note: It is more prone to twisting and deformation under severe impact.] 300 Evolution Points

[Future Technology "R-3" Reusable Iron Ingot: This iron ingot is enhanced using Future Technology's reversible lattice structure technology. 1. Overall performance improved by 30%. 2. Appliances made from this iron ingot do not require smelting when needed for recycling. Simply introduce a specific frequency of current, and it will brittle and dissolve into a gel-like state, which can then be re-forged into an iron ingot upon heating. Expected recycling damage reduction: 50%] - 1500 Evolution Points

[Immortal Material - Mystic Iron Ingot: This iron ingot will transform into a basic immortal material in the cultivation world, used to forge magical artifacts, flying swords, armor, array bases, and other cultivation tools. It can also conduct a cultivator's spiritual power and divine sense.] - 3000 Evolution Points

Li Xin's gaze immediately fell on the third evolutionary branch.

Unexpectedly, this time there's even a cultivation world version of "iron ingots"! But the problem is that the Starfire doesn't have a cultivation system at all, so even if it evolves, it can't create those cultivation tools.

However, the "reusable iron ingot" evolution branch is indeed quite good. With it, the Starfire's utilization rate of iron ingot resources can be greatly improved.

On a grander scale, once you travel to any world, you only need to quickly build the corresponding type of tanks, fighter jets, and ships according to the needs of that world. Once they are used up, they can be electrolyzed and recycled, then reheated and cast into iron ingots, thus achieving various forms of recycling.

So he bought this branch of evolution.

.....

"Phew, finally out."

Looking at the flat horizon before him, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long journey, the Xinghuo spacecraft finally crossed the mountains.

A full month had passed by then, and according to Sean, this section of the El Denis Mountains was about one-third of the total distance, so their progress was already quite fast.

What appeared before them was a vast, boundless grassland.

There are no layered mountain shadows on the grassland, only waves of grass stretching from your feet to the horizon. When the wind blows, the waves of grass surge into the distance in layers, like a frozen sea ruffled by the wind.

People from the city also gradually came up onto the deck, squinting their eyes to feel the gentle breeze, and occasionally waving their arms happily.

The dwarf Torg gestured for him to stand straight ahead.

"We'd better just drive across this prairie in one go," he said.

"What's wrong? Is this place dangerous?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent howling sound came from afar.

When he turned his head to look, he was immediately stunned.

In the distance on the eastern side of the grassland, a group of giant, yellowish-brown snakes, each seventy or eighty meters long, were speeding past—calling them snakes isn't quite accurate, because their bodies had rows of densely packed, centipede-like legs.

These legs are long and powerful, and when they move in alternating motions, they are like countless sickles harvesting in the waves of grass, raising clouds of dust.

"This is a swift-moving earth serpent," Torg said, shrugging. "There are many, many more dangerous creatures like this on the grasslands, and quite a few of them are from other races."

"......Understood."

Once the Starfire resumed its land-based driving mode, Li Xin was ready. He had the combat personnel prepare in front of various weapons, and the four newly built hover tanks were deployed. They activated the hovering array on their chassis and steadily descended from the deck to the sides of the Starfire.

With his command, the Starfire set off at full speed.

The mobile city gradually accelerated, like a giant iron plow carving a straight track across the grassland. Four hover tanks followed closely behind, their air cushion array sweeping across the plains, leaving four faint trails of grass bent by the airflow.

Li Xin gripped the railing tightly, the airflow blowing in his face, making his hair a mess. But he didn't shrink back; instead, he squinted at the wind and gazed out. The vast grassland stretched out before him, expansive and magnificent.

Along the way, there are countless novel native creatures: blue bison that surge with lightning and travel in herds, giant tortoises as big as mountains with forests growing on their backs, and iron-beaked monster birds with three heads and tall legs.

"Great!" He couldn't help but smile.

Passing through this area while speeding through the city feels like a trip.

Moreover, many other ethnic groups also inhabit the grasslands.

There were kobolds with grotesque, hunched backs, goblins with green skin, red eyes, pointed noses, and pointed mouths, and gnolls with manes all over their bodies, brutal and savage.

The largest of them all is a race called the "Mad Elephant Man".

These alien races reached heights of over a hundred meters, resembling giant elephants walking upright, causing the earth to tremble with every step they took. Their living conditions were not like those of large creatures who could only eat raw meat and drink blood; instead, they used magic to transform the earth and stones into exquisite and unique giant houses, and used a series of magically forged utensils.

As the Starfire passed through a town of Mad Elephant People, it witnessed a well-ordered and civilized scene: wide dirt roads crisscrossed the town, houses were neatly arranged on both sides, and Mad Elephant People dressed in various clothes moved about calmly and orderly.

As they continued forward, they came upon a magnificent forest of giant trees.

It stands prominently in the grassland, like a green mountain rising abruptly. The trees in the forest are all towering into the clouds, with lush foliage.

"Let's go this way; it'll be a good opportunity to enjoy the scenery in the forest," he thought.

Just then, his clothes were suddenly tugged.

That was Tog, the dwarf, who looked tense, his eyes wide as round as copper bells.

"Take a detour!" he said.

"Why? Wouldn't it be better to go this way?" Li Xin asked, puzzled.

The other person was immediately furious, and even his beard stood on end.

"Damn it! They're all alive!"
