Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

Chapter 12: 12 Thumb's Personality is Broken, Arriving at Victoria and the Emperor

On this side, the pioneers walked in the wilderness, driving away the ten questions in front of them like shepherds.

On the other side, above the city, Lin Yi was talking with Texas.

It was already the next day, and Texas went to Lin Yi's door in the morning. Instinctively, she felt that what Lin Yi was hiding was not a trivial matter.

Not only could it have a significant impact on Lin Yi, it could also affect myself...

Therefore, last night, Texas tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and finally decided that no matter what happened, he would help Lin Yi in some way.

It can also be regarded as a way to repay Lin Yi for his many favors after he came to the island.

So, this morning, Texas went to Lin Yi's door. However, to her surprise, when she arrived, she found that Lin Yi's expression was very different from yesterday.

There was a hint of a smile on his face, unlike yesterday when he was troubled, depressed and desperate...

For a moment, even Texas felt a little curious - what on earth did Lin Yi experience last night, in just one short day, that caused such a big change in his mentality?

"Lin Yi...did anything happen last night?"

For a moment, Texas looked at Lin Yi and asked with some curiosity.

"Because I have tasted the flavor of hope."

Lin Yi smiled, then pondered for a moment.

He was going to reveal something to Texas, or rather, "make up" something.

He needed to explain to Texas the whole matter of "Company A," the company he had created out of thin air yesterday, and its leader. No matter what, the "Company A" cover couldn't be dropped, not for anyone...

This must be a secret that belongs only to you.

"The smell of hope?"

Texas asked with a smile. Seeing Lin Yi's relaxed look, she was also happy for a while.

Although the mental preparation I made last night seemed to be useless, at least things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, didn't they?

"Well, there's something I haven't told you before, but I didn't expect to hear back today."

There was a half-smile on Lin Yi's lips, which was 50% real and 50% fake.

"When I first arrived in the city, I had a few travel companions... We founded a company together in the city, 'Company A', and are developing the city here."

"Later, we parted ways temporarily for the development of the city. I was left alone in the city."

Lin Yi continued to talk, while Texas listened carefully to these past events.

Is this a sign that Lin Yi has let down his guard?

Before, Lin Yike had never taken the initiative to talk about these things.

Texas pondered inwardly. However, if she knew that Lin Yi said these words today just because he had just made them up, who knows how she would react.

"However, just last night, I received a signal from one of my companions... His name is 'Pioneer', and he is currently heading to Victoria. I estimate he will be back in a few days."

"I'll introduce him to you when he comes back... That guy should bring a lot of things with him when he comes back."

Lin Yi said with a smile, and Texas nodded.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Lin Yi gave the collected spindles to Texas, explaining that it was a reward for her help in cleaning up yesterday.

This is exactly the amount of resources required for a two-light personality to reach synchronization level two.

After Lin Yi explained this, Texas no longer refused. He simply took the spindle from Lin Yi's hand, took out the personality card, and started personality synchronization.

A dazzling light effect flashed, and the border of the personality card transformed into a complex chain pattern. Texas felt it briefly and realized the improvement brought by personality synchronization.

Unlocking various special bullets for the thumb. Things like burn bullets and penetrating bullets can be regarded as further strengthening the offensive capability.

The aroma of strength became stronger and stronger.

After that, Texas rushed to adapt to the changes in his personality card, and Lin Yi, after giving the order to continue multiplying, put all his heart and soul into the pioneer.

The steel soles came into contact with the scorching sand and moved forward without stopping. In the yellow sand, a team of robots moved forward.

Lin Yi continued to advance silently in the yellow sand.

At night, he relied on the stars to determine his direction and walked without stopping - robots did not need to rest, which was also a benefit.

As for Lin Yi's consciousness, there was no such thing as rest. He was now the noble will of the city. If the city didn't sleep, then neither did he.

In this way, the pioneers marched day and night without sleep for three whole days.

The battery was about to run out, with only one-sixth left, enough to last for about half a day. Finally, at this moment, Lin Yi saw the outline of a huge city in the distance, standing tall on the horizon—without a doubt, that was Victoria's territory!

The moment he saw the city, Lin Yi felt a sense of surprise in his heart.

He quickened his pace almost without hesitation, ran towards Victoria, and then boarded the mobile city belonging to Victoria.

I have to say, Victoria was indeed developed... In comparison, today's cities seem a bit like primitive people.

After presenting his identity certificate to the customs and using a merchant certificate to prove that he was a businessman, Lin Yi successfully entered the customs as a pioneer, thus officially entering a small mobile city under this vast country.

As for where exactly this place is, it doesn’t matter to Lin Yi.

What he needs to do now is to find a buyer as soon as possible who can sell these problems to him, and it would be best if this buyer can also provide a large amount of steel.

Walking down the streets of this mobile city, Lin Yi pondered to himself, his hat lowered. Passersby cast surprised glances at him and the question behind him—clearly, they had never seen anything like this in their short lives.

Just as Lin Yi was pondering where to sell himself, he suddenly felt something pat his steel body. It felt flat, like wings...

So, the pensive Lin Yi raised his head, looked at the creature in front of him with his eyes flashing with light, and a sense of surprise appeared in his consciousness.

"Brother, what are these things of yours?"

In front of him is a penguin wearing sunglasses.

At this moment, the penguin was looking at Lin Yi with curiosity, and there were questions behind Lin Yi. Then, he turned to Lin Yi and asked in a friendly and natural manner.

Looking at the penguin in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel happy and a smile appeared in his heart.

The penguin in front of him is the Beast Master, the future boss of Penguin Logistics, the Emperor!

Chapter 13: The winner of this game will only be us, the urbanites.

Seeing the penguin in front of him, Lin Yi looked around and then made an electronically synthesized sound from his mouth:

"Hello? May I ask who you are?"

After hearing Lin Yi's voice, the emperor raised his head and looked at Lin Yi with some surprise. Then, his eyes seemed to emit light.

"Brother, what happened to this body?"

"Oh, by the way, I'm a musician from Victoria, you can call me the Great."

The emperor asked while introducing himself. Judging from his tone, he seemed quite proud of this identity. Lin Yi smiled inwardly, then took off his hat, bowed slightly, and pretended to be admiring:

"So it's Mr. Great Emperor... I've long heard of your renown. I often listen to your songs; it's one of the few ways I can relax in the wilderness."

"As for this body, I'm afraid I can't give a detailed explanation. My name is Pioneer, and this steel body is my body, and it can be regarded as my personal Originium skill."

The emperor was clearly pleased with Lin Yi's compliments. He ruffled his feathers proudly, but then his gaze remained fixed on the questions.

For a moment, seeing the emperor's reaction, Lin Yi had a few more thoughts in his mind.

Who is the Great Emperor? Besides being a musician, he is also a beast master.

Lin Yi believed that, at least in Victoria, the emperor would have some respect.

He seemed quite interested in my question... so I might as well ask the Emperor for a favor. If he was willing to pay for it outright, that would be the best.

"So, back to the original question, man, what are these?"

The emperor pointed at these questions with his wings and asked.

"These are robots called Doubt. Is the Emperor interested?"

Lin Yi replied with a smile. Facing Lin Yi's further question, the Emperor nodded calmly, his eyes showing no sign of disguising his curiosity about these robots.

"But to be honest, I'm more interested in you."

Afterwards, the emperor spoke like this, and Lin Yi lowered the brim of his hat calmly.

Sorry, not Nantong.

"Oh, I'm not for sale..."

"What about these?"

The emperor said this, pointing to the questioning person standing nearby. He could tell at a glance that Lin Yi had brought these questions to Victoria, most likely to sell them. The merchant's license pinned to Lin Yi's waist further confirmed this.

"Would you like these?"

"I have a concert coming up soon. Now, I've got a new idea. Using these to dance at the concert will definitely be amazing."

The emperor said, straightening his sunglasses. He looked at the question with a sharp gaze, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

With his keen eyesight, he could immediately tell that these things were unique... They were definitely something that had never appeared on Terra, whether in terms of technology or manufacturing logic. They were like works of art.

Lin Yi remained calm on the surface, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I wonder, this thing is actually used as a dance partner... It's really a luxury. But for the emperor, he does have the capital for luxury.

"So, you want to buy it? I don't have much of an opinion, but regarding the price..."

“Just quote the price.”

"No, it's not. I only take steel ones."

Lin Yi said with a smile, and facing this request, the emperor pondered for a while and asked:

"Steel? It's not that much trouble. Just tell me the number."

"Well, let's talk while we walk."

Seeing that the emperor was still interested in buying, Lin Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. So, the two of them began to discuss while strolling through the streets of Victoria.

The entire negotiation process went surprisingly smoothly. They agreed on a price with almost no bickering.

After all...what the emperor gave was really too much.

The final price was 120 tons of steel, with a contract value of more than 10 Victorian pounds, and the price Lin Yi paid was just 10 extra questions in addition to these questions.

This was a price that both parties were happy with. The subsequent developments seemed logical. Lin Yi gave the emperor the city's current location and asked him to deliver the steel there. He would then pay the remaining 10 questions.

Everything was going so smoothly. Lin Yi had only just arrived in Victoria when he achieved his goal. Thinking of this, Lin Yi's mood, which had been disturbed by the food chain, began to lighten up.

"If the concert wasn't so close, I would definitely go to the city to have a good look around... Unfortunately, time is tight, and I only had time to deliver the goods. I'll pay you a visit later."

In the end, the emperor made this promise, agreeing to deliver the steel in two days. After this, Lin Yi's goal in Victoria was officially completed, and he immediately returned to the wilderness and the city.

That's a full 2 tons of steel! One ton of steel can produce about puzzles, which means, theoretically, he can create a full puzzles!

This had far exceeded Lin Yi's expectations. He had originally thought that being able to exchange for around 40 tons of steel was already considered lucky... but it seemed that the Emperor was even more generous than he had imagined, and that he took these questions more seriously than he had imagined.

But in fact, the emperor offered such a high price for some other reasons.

He was quite curious about the pioneers themselves.

Therefore, the emperor readily offered this price. The fundamental reason was that he was curious about the pioneers and wanted to do them a favor. It was never a bad thing to make friends with one more person.

After all, to the emperor, this little money is really nothing.

So, that night, Lin Yi rushed back to the city. Covered in the stardust of the wilderness, without any questions slowing him down, he returned to the city in less than a day.

Looking at the city in the distance, the pioneer's pupils, which were flashing with lights, seemed to reveal some kind of firm belief.

Soon, he will return to the city - and this time, his return will bring hope.

"Okay," then, the pioneer and Lin Yi in the small house in the city opened their mouths at the same time and whispered softly:

"Let's start this game."

"However, the final winner of this game..."

"It will only be me, us, as city people... us."

Chapter 14: 14 Texas: How can a city not be considered a paradise?

There are no lights in the city at night, so the pioneers walked on the city land under the moonlight.

It's okay. One day, the lights of the city will never go out.

The pioneer looked around and smiled contemptuously, as if the entire city was within his sight - it really seemed like he was the supreme leader.

This was something Lin Yi had deliberately displayed. Since it was a sock puppet, he should distinguish it from his true self… Otherwise, if Texas saw through it, it would be bad.
