Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Lin You gripped the tungsten steel musket tightly, his gaze fixed on the amplifier in front of him.

Three drones, two hover tanks, and one Wanderer were hovering around it.

"A swift and decisive victory!"

He raised his hand and fired an elemental strike, sending shrapnel wrapped in frost flying out and exploding into a ring of ice in mid-air.

As the frost nova spread, six machines were frozen in place simultaneously, and a layer of blue-white frost spread across their metal shells.

Although the more powerful fire and lightning elements were not randomly selected.

However, the crowd control effect brought by Frost Nova is also acceptable.

Lin You did not continue to use elemental attacks, but instead raised his hand and spread his five fingers.

A beam of silvery-white light suddenly condensed in the palm of his hand.

The next second, the beam shot out and accurately hit the nearest drone.

"Sizzle—"

An electric arc traveled across the metal casing, causing the drone to explode in a burst of sparks and be rendered unusable on the spot.

[Tungsten Steel Energy Ray: Consumes 10 mana to release a tracking energy beam that deals 50 points of electric damage. Cooldown: 3 seconds]

This is the attack skill Lin You acquired after absorbing the "Tungsten Steel Drone".

Although the damage is not high, it has the advantage of low mana cost and short cooldown.

Moreover, it's electric, making it very effective against mechanical units and perfect for finishing off enemies.

The freezing effect of Frost Nova ends.

All that's left of the six machines are spare parts scattered all over the ground.

After the battle ended, Lin You walked to the amplifier and destroyed it with a single elemental strike.

A fist-sized, glowing sphere rolled out of its metal wreckage.

You have obtained 1 "Energy Core"

Lin You picked it up; it was warm to the touch, and a pale blue energy was slowly flowing inside.

"nice one."

He didn't rush to leave, but looked around.

The presence of so many enemies guarding this area suggests that there may be high-value items nearby.

He took out a tungsten steel detector and pressed the switch.

A semi-transparent scanning ripple spreads outward, covering the surrounding area.

In the field of vision, several boxes of low-value supplies were faintly lit up with white light.

But in a corner hidden by shelves, a pale purple light was flashing.

"There really is a hidden treasure."

Lin You walked over, pushed the shelf open, revealing a sealed metal box.

Judging from its exquisite design, it is clearly a level above ordinary supply boxes.

He reached out and opened it; inside lay an item, lying quietly.

A helmet with a unique shape and a rugged style.

You have obtained a "Discarded Tungsten Steel Helmet".

……

[Fashion Item: Discarded Tungsten Steel Helmet]

Grade: 10 (Purple)

[Note: This item does not provide any defensive attributes, but it can be used for decoration.]

[Additional Information: Buyback Price: 50 Silver Coins]

……

"How much?! 50 silver coins?!"

Lin You raised an eyebrow, quite surprised, upon seeing the final buyback price.

The reward from this gold-exchange item is already enough to break even or even make a huge profit!

He put the helmet into his backpack and turned to continue exploring.

But after taking only two steps, he caught a glimpse of a certain number out of the corner of his eye.

[Alert level: 90%]

[Remaining time in the secret realm: 6 minutes and 44 seconds]

"Forget it, we're out of time, let's just leave."

Lin You immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the nearest evacuation point.

But before they had gone far, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above.

A tungsten steel drone, which had been patrolling around at some point, discovered Lin You's whereabouts.

[Alert level: 100%!]

[Emergency Alert Triggered]

[Remaining time in the secret realm: 3 minutes and 20 seconds]

All security equipment will enter active pursuit mode.

"Tsk, we've been found out after all."

Lin You glanced at the time; there were less than four minutes left before she was lost.

He put away his musket, did not linger in battle, and sprinted towards the evacuation point with all his might.

But the drones were hot on his heels, and the energy beams were constantly draining his magic.

At his current speed, he simply won't make it to the evacuation point before getting lost.

There's no other way.

Lin You paused, her gaze fixed on a higher platform ahead.

A transparent, gel-like sheen suddenly appeared on the surface of the body!

The next moment, his figure vanished and re-formed on a distant platform.

【Gel Warp: Consumes 25% of maximum health to teleport to a location within your line of sight, with a maximum range of 100 meters. Cooldown: 1 minute】

After completing the advancement mission, Lin You directly absorbed two Slime King magic cards.

One card permanently increases jump height by 50%, while the other is used to learn skills.

The Slime King doesn't have many skills, and only one is useful: the "Gel Warp" that Lin You just used!

Although it comes at the cost of 25% of maximum health, its functionality is undeniable.

Even if it doubled his health, Lin You would use the instant teleportation skill with a range of up to 100 meters without hesitation!

With one minute remaining before getting lost, Lin You successfully stepped into the evacuation point—the workshop gate.

[Evacuation in progress, please remain still for 10 seconds...]

[Evacuation complete!]

A flash of white light, and Lin You returned to the elevator platform.

He wiped his sweat and stretched his sore shoulders.

"Hard mode, that's actually quite interesting."

Flame Spirit walked over and rubbed against his leg, seemingly noticing that he was a little tired.

"It's alright, I just need to rest for a while."

Lin You patted its head and began to calculate the rewards from this secret realm.

The backpack contained 33 units of tungsten carbide metal scrap and 1 unit of energy core.

All other miscellaneous items were recycled, including that purple-grade fashion item.

The notification sounds rang out incessantly.

[Recovery complete. Total rewards for this dungeon run: 1 gold coin and 25 silver coins]

Lin You looked at the number and nodded in satisfaction.

With the addition of the collected metal scraps, energy cores, and other materials, this trip was definitely worthwhile.

He returned to the Gold Miner, started the engine, and drove the minecart onto the lifting platform.

After completing both difficulty levels of the dungeon.

The secret entrance to the "Tungsten Steel Machinery Workshop" has also disappeared.

There was no need for him to stay in this place any longer.

[The elevator has started and is heading to the 7th floor of the Earth's core.]

A slight tremor was felt, and the surrounding walls slowly rose.

Lin You leaned back in her seat and let out a long breath.

"It's a good time to take a break."

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep amidst the steady, low humming.

I don't know how much time passed.

He was gently awakened by the Flame Spirit's tail.

Meow~

"Huh? We've arrived?"

Lin You rubbed her eyes and sat up straight.

In view, the elevator had come to a complete stop, and ahead lay a brand-new mine tunnel.

Current depth: 7

He stretched his neck, yawned, and then opened the forum.

There's still some time before the "Tungsten Steel Machinery Workshop" dungeon opens, so I'll finish writing the guide first.

Lin You opened the drafts folder and began writing.

From the secret realm mechanics, enemy weaknesses, and types of supply boxes, to the alert value mechanic and the location of the extraction point.

Every step is written out clearly.

Finally, it also includes notes on the hard mode and recipes for equipment that can be crafted from tungsten steel scrap.

Hopefully this guide will be helpful to everyone.
