This isn't a souls-like game at all.

But Patch's face is so iconic and memorable that you can tell at first glance that he's not a good person.

So even though they know they will be kicked by the other party in the game, everyone still enjoys it and voluntarily takes the bait.

This is the experience I want. If I don’t get kicked, I will have missed out on 5 dollars.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, flew back to the place where Patch originally threw the rainbow stone, turned back into his physical body, and then walked all the way inside along the mark.

Soon, he heard Patch's faint whine coming from the woods.

"Hero, hero, is there a hero to save me..."

Chapter 563 Exploring the warehouse space and the guardian of time and space.

"Hero, hero, where is the hero?"

"..."

Hearing Patch's weak call, Ye Yi emerged from the forest with an expressionless face.

"Ah! It's you!"

Patch slumped beside the wooden door, looking up with a look of surprise.

"Please, hurry up, help me and my friends, please help them!"

How can I help them? Go to the bottom of the cliff and help them collect the bodies?

Ye Yiyi complained in his heart, but still hurried over, frowned, and asked.

"What's going on? Where are your companions?"

Patch was pale and sweaty, clutching his left leg wrapped in red linen tightly, and answered in a hoarse and weak voice.

"My companions and I went to explore the ruins, but unfortunately we were ambushed by a black monster. During our escape, we accidentally got separated."

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find the way I came, but my companions still haven't come out. Plus, my leg is injured, so I really can't go in again, cough cough..."

Patch covered his mouth again, coughed violently twice, and his face became paler.

When he took his hand away, he saw blood all over it.

My friend, your acting skills are too good. You don't use any magic, but you can still pretend like this. It's really fucking realistic!

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but applaud the other person in her heart.

But he put on an expression of complete belief, quickly squatted down, took out a small bottle of resuscitation potion from behind and handed it to Patch.

"Don't worry, come here, I have medicine."

"This is……"

Patch watched Ye Yiyi pull out the cork and hand the small bottle to his mouth, a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Ye Yiyi didn't force it, and acted seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"No, I don't need this medicine, you keep it!"

Patch suddenly grabbed his arm and pleaded with a pale face:

"Please, hero! Go and save my companions. They are like brothers to me. I really don't want to see them die. Please, I am willing to give you everything I have. Please, hero! Please them!!"

Ye Yiyi gritted her teeth slightly, frowned and hesitated a little.

"……I see."

But he finally nodded heavily, put the cork in place and stuffed the potion into the other person's arms, then walked towards the closed wooden door with a serious expression.

"Take this medicine, I have enough for myself..."

"Thank you, hero! Thank you, and by the way! Please take this!"

Patch showed a look of joy, but in his heart he thought that this young boy was really easy to deceive. Maybe he had just returned from the dead and didn't understand the treacherous nature of people in this era.

Then he seemed to remember something and took out a dark blue key from his pocket and handed it to me.

"This is something I picked up from the ground while fleeing in the ruins. Hero, wear this. You might need it later."

"key?"

He looked puzzled, reached out to take it, and quickly glanced at the light screen.

Warehouse Space Hub Key

Item Description: Hidden in the winding forest.

The key to the Folding Tower's warehouse space.

Can open the door to the space-time field hub.

It is said that after the disastrous defeat in the battle to eliminate the ancient dragon of Winter Gate.

Craftsmen from the Xiti Wangjiang Workshop dismantled the folding tower.

Hide the body parts in various places.

Prevent the King Dragon's army from taking advantage of it.

The warehouse space contains the energy core that powers the folding tower.

The Hub Key? But how did this key end up in Patch's hands?

Ye Yiyi put away the key thoughtfully and looked at Patch.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to save your companions."

"Then I'll leave it to you, hero! By the way, be careful, there are powerful enemies hiding in there!"

"Ah."

Ye Yiyi nodded, pushed open the door, and walked into a dark tunnel.

As the door closed, Patch's pale face changed, and he showed a sly smile as if his evil plan had succeeded. He dusted off his butt and stood up.

"How gullible! Another idiot who wants to be a hero!"

Patch sighed and shook his head, pulled out the golden key from the tree hole, watched the unfolded bark slowly close, tossed the bottle of potion up and down, turned and walked away.

"It's a shame, my friend. Being a hero is fake, and the kings aren't good people either. You want to be a hero, but I don't want to be a pawn."

"See you in the next life, hero!"

……

On the other side, Ye Yiyi looked at the gate behind him that quietly disappeared into the void, and nodded as expected.

"It's just as I guessed. That guy is just waiting to find a scapegoat."

Although Patch's true purpose is still unclear, it seems that he hopes that he will die in the ruins with the key to prevent it from being lost outside.

Originally he was looking for that group of mercenaries, but who knew that he would run into him, a suspected unknown hero, along the way?

So he went with the flow, killed those idiots, and pretended to be injured to use Ye Yiyi to achieve his own goals.

Ye Yiyi was also very cooperative and helped him selflessly in accordance with her "hero" character.

As for now, all we need to do is repair the warehouse space, fight our way out, and then find Patch with the bodies of the mercenaries who fell to their death.

No, buddy, you really rescued my brothers who are like brothers to me?

You're a hero, aren't you?!

I think Patch's embarrassed and shocked expression must have been very beautiful at that time!

"Humph!"

Ye Yiyi sneered twice, took out the waist lamp and hung it up.

"Let's go and find the door to the space-time field hub."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dung beetle disguised as pauldrons on its shoulders also ignited spiritual fire, flew into the air, and looked around the deep corridor curiously.

"Where is that door?"

"I don't know, but Yuangungun should know."

He took out a portable skill slave from behind and put it on the ground, showed the key to the little thing, and then said.

"Take us to the warehouse space."

"Unable to determine the question and answer logic, please upgrade the firmware first."

Your mother!

Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes, picked up the ball with her backhand and stuffed it into her four-dimensional chrysanthemum, waved her hand and walked to the front of the corridor.

"Let's go. It's impossible to rely on the cattle and horses. We have to find it ourselves."

"But since that's the hub of the space-time field, there should be fluctuations in the space-time field. Can you feel it, Xiaoyu?"

The little fish was a little confused, waving its tentacles to indicate that the space there was extremely calm and it could not feel any fluctuations at all.

"Can't you feel it?"

Ye Yiyi sensed it a little bit herself and indeed did not find any fluctuations.

"No wonder it needs repairing. It seems that thing might be broken."

He shook his head and looked around with the help of his waist lamp.

The back end of the corridor is a dead end, and the front seems to lead to another corridor.

What confused Ye Yiyi was that the corridor was bare and there was not even a door on the steel walls on both sides.

"Isn't it a warehouse? Why is there such a meaningless dead end?"

He muttered to himself as he reached the end of the corridor, looking back and forth.

There was another dead end on the left, and at the end sat the body of a seemingly scrapped skilled slave.

On the right side of the corridor, at the end, there stands a door.

The folding tower was dismantled by the craftsmen themselves after the war, so it was normal for them to have skilled slaves.

Ye Yiyi first walked to the dead end, came to the skilled servant, and looked down at it.

This was a "new model" of skilled slave that he had never seen before.

It has no upper body, only four mechanical legs as the lower body, with wide soles and wheels embedded in the ankles, and seems to be able to switch back and forth between walking and wheeling.

"It looks like some kind of skilled servant who specializes in transporting items."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and asked if it could be repaired.

As a mechanically-operated skilled slave, Yuangungun can not only process raw materials, but also repair mechanical vehicles and other skilled slaves.

It emitted white light and scanned around before the light curtain popped up again.

Ye Yiyi took a look and found that it could be repaired, but he would need to provide the materials and parts for the repair, and in quite a lot of quantities.

"Holy crap! Repairing this thing costs eight pieces of pure orichalcum? And various other metal materials in varying quantities? A gold-eating beast? Why is it so expensive!"

Ye Yiyi rolled his eyes, then took out the universal cauldron and disassembled it.

The repair cost is too high, and it cannot be used normally after repair, so it is better to disassemble it and recycle it.

He then obtained one piece of pure mountain copper, one piece of free chromium iron, one piece of crystalline porcelain steel, and a power core.

"This ore seems to be the first time I've seen it."

He picked up the round mineral that looked like a crystal but had the texture of white porcelain, and looked down at the light curtain.

【Crystalline Porcelain Steel】

Item Description: A rare iron metal alloy that can be found in ancient ruins.

One of the materials used to make props.

It can also be used to forge extremely strong weapons or armor.

A reinforced special metal made using natural craftsmanship.

It has the advantages of both crystal and ceramic properties.

Often used to make protective casings for mechanical vehicles.
