  Chapter 335 Public Enemy of Clockwork City

  The meeting time ended, and Mu You returned to the room amidst the surging black air.

  Mu You immediately contacted Lin Xue on the forum and informed her of the previous speculation about her competitor.

   "The chains of disabled limbs?" Lin Xue was a little surprised after hearing this.

   "Yes, I guess, this may be the danger you are about to encounter. If you have a fight with this person in the future, you must dodge as much as possible to avoid being hit by her." Mu You said.

   Xue Lin received the message and paused for more than ten seconds before typing.

   "If this is the case, dodging can only be avoided for a while, and the external defense may be more important."

"Um?"

   "If this person's chain is something like my sickle, then for it to work, it must first come into direct contact with the creature's body." Lin Xue said.

   The Death Scythe is a prop she has been using all the time, and she is of course most aware of the flaws of this weapon.

  Props like this seem to be powerful, but they are not invincible in actual combat. There are two biggest weaknesses.

  One is that there will be a cooling time after each effect, about one second, no matter how many times the scythe is hit during this period, it will no longer take effect.

  Second, the sickle must hit the body of the creature to be effective. If it hits the equipment or armor, but fails to penetrate the armor and cause damage to the body, it will also not be able to leave the mark of death. In layman's terms, it is: blood must be seen before it counts.

  If the chain that Hongxiu used during pregnancy was a weapon similar to hers, it would probably have these two restrictions.

   "...If it's just some limbs that are disabled, using some hard armor and equipment should be able to effectively protect the key parts..." Lin Xue analyzed.

   "Armor..."

   Mu You touched his chin, in short, he wanted to protect himself as tightly as possible. Going to the extreme, if you put your whole body into the iron armor and turn yourself into an iron bucket, you may even ignore the chains directly!

  Of course, the load will be very high in this way, and the movement will be restricted everywhere in the battle, which is equivalent to turning yourself into a sandbag that can only be beaten, and the gain outweighs the gain.

   But when he mentioned the iron bucket, Mu You remembered the mecha skin.

  If the chain really only works on the flesh of creatures, wouldn't it be completely overcome by his mecha skin?

  This point is not yet certain, but it is always a backhand.

   In addition, they have a little advantage, that is, he already understands Hongxiu's attributes during pregnancy.

  At least in terms of agility, he and Lin Xue's agility values ​​are higher than each other's, so they won't be inferior in the most critical speed.

  This matter can only be discussed to this extent for the time being.

   After closing the private chat with Lin Xue, Mu You contacted Jiuyou again, entrusting them to take care of the shooter recently, and also revealed some information about Z-world walkers to him by the way.

   "Finger? Armor?"

  Jiuyou was a little surprised when he first got this information. What does the Great God mean, did he already have a face-to-face meeting with the other party?

   "It's not sure yet, it's just a guess. If you accidentally meet the other party, you can try to use these two methods to counter it." Mu You said.

   "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, my god, I will help arrange things about looking at flowers in the fog."

   Seeing that the other party didn't intend to make it clear, Jiuyou didn't ask too much. In fact, they really didn't have the time to take care of this z-world walker recently.

   Immediately after Lieyang City, it is the turn of Sunset and Dusk City. The Dragon Team and Ice Emperor's troops have been making full preparations for the next task of capturing the city for the past few days.

   After arranging the matter for the shooter, Mu You switched back to the game and took a look.

  In the game, the old man is still sleeping, and his character is also hanging on the charging pile to make parts, and there is nothing to do for the time being.

  Mu You also hurried to take a rest. After all, when the old man wakes up later, he may have to be used as a nanny again, so he will have no time to rest.

  The following facts proved that his worries were not superfluous.

  The next morning, not long after Mu You woke up, the text in the game changed.

  【...After the old goblin Barney woke up, he continued to observe the drawings and take notes, while enjoying the shoulder pinching of the assistant robot. 】

  【The old goblin suddenly turned his head, glanced at the assistant robot behind him irritably, ordered it to stop, and went back to continue working. 】

[Then the old goblin Barney looked in your direction, his eyes swept across the row of robots in front of the charging pile, and he muttered to himself: "Who gave me the shoulder hammer last night? That strength is good...No. 13 , it should be Ni, right?]

  【No. 13, it is your mecha number. 】

  【Obviously, the osteoporotic old goblin was overwhelmed by your massage technique last night. Among the robots on site, only your strength suits him best, and he hopes to continue enjoying your services at this time...】

   "emmm..."

  Mu You's face was black.

  He has already tried his best to hide in the crowd, but he didn't expect to be found out.

   And the reason why he was caught was because of his shoulder-pinching technique, which made the other party 'enjoy' it. This is the rhythm of promoting him to be the head of internal affairs...

   Mu You was quite speechless, but he was also helpless, so he could only do as he did at this time, otherwise yesterday's hard day would be in vain.

   Mu You spent the rest of the time busy.

   In the game, he was busy satisfying all kinds of painful demands of the goblin old man, but in reality, he paid attention to the forum from time to time.

  Today is the day when Lie Sun City was born. The support time requested by the lion is around 12:00 noon. It seems that the time is almost the same.

   Sure enough, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, a system message popped up in the game.

  【Scorching Sun City, successfully activated! 】

  【First City Lord: Hellboy. 】

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, the news came out, but, Hellboy? Who is this? Lions scramble lost?

   Mu You frowned, but he was not in a hurry. After waiting for about an hour, he finally received a message from the lion on the forum.

   "Woooo, boss, I'm broken!" The lion made a crying emoji when he came up.

   "Who is this Hellboy?" Mu You was curious.

   "is one of my collaborators..."

   "Oh? It means they are playing tricks on you?" Mu You asked.

"That's not true, because we signed a blood pact of not attacking or murdering each other within one year, and the cooperation is quite harmonious. After entering the city, we have been working together to get rid of all opponents, but at the last level, we We agreed to compete freely without hurting each other, and whoever arrives first will be counted. I was a little unlucky, and I was a little slower, and I was preempted." The lion continued to swipe the screen with a crying expression, and the words did not change. He didn't mean to blame his teammates, but frankly admitted that his skills were inferior to others, and he had nothing to say about the loss.

  Mu You touched his chin, and asked again: "Is it because of what happened to Z World Walker last night?"

  The lion has secret skills and enjoys the magical support of other people. The overall strength must be higher than others, but he still loses. Of course, luck is one aspect of this kind of thing, but other factors may not be absent...

   "Him? How is it possible! Boss, stop joking, I will lose the city lord because of his influence?" The lion immediately retorted.

   "Really? Not at all?" Mu You asked.

   "..." Lion was silent, and continued typing after a while.

"Well, I admit, there was such a slight influence. At the last moment, I hesitated for a moment. I swore it was really just a trivial thought, which caused me to miss the opportunity. Alas..." the lion posted A 'a bit embarrassing' emoticon package, obviously still a little brooding about it.

  But soon he cheered up and sent another message.

"Fortunately, Boss, although we didn't grab the city lord, at least the city lord was firmly won by our side. Now I have also been assigned the position of a deputy city lord. This is one of the contents of our previous blood contract. I actually I can be regarded as one-third of the talker, and I can talk about general things." Lion said.

  The blood contract signed by the lion and his collaborators is quite strict, clearly demarcating the scope of cooperation between the three and the division of interests after success, so even if he does not get the city lord, his right to speak will far exceed that of the general deputy city lord. Although City Lord Lie Sun does not have to follow Lion's proposal, it will definitely be used as an important reference.

  With such a relationship, it will be much more convenient for the members of their association to work in Lie Sun City in the future, which is also their original intention.

   After chatting with the lion, Mu You contacted the 'Hellboy' as usual, and informed Sky City of matters that need to be paid attention to in terms of flying height.

   Then nothing happened in reality for the time being, and Mu You was able to focus back on the game.

   In Clockwork City, the goblin old man and a group of assistant robots are still working overtime to make parts, while Mu You is doing all kinds of messy chores.

   Just persisted until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally, the long-awaited news popped up for Mu You.

  【Old goblin Barney’s concentrating operation workbench, combining various small parts...】

[The outline of a power furnace is gradually taking shape. It is composed of countless gears and dense wires, which are connected in series in a complicated way that you can't understand. The structure collapsed...]

  【After a while, Barney completed the last operation. The whole furnace billet was transported by the mechanical arm and sent into the alchemy pool for the final heating and shaping work...】

  Mu You was very moved. After being ordered by this old man for two days, finally, this nightmare day is coming to an end!

   Now all the parts have been manufactured, and the assembly work has been done, the only thing left is the final refining.

   At this time, the goblin old man had long lost the intention of enjoying the service of rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs. He was fidgeting and wandering in the hall. Mu You was also relieved, and stood by the wall with other assistant robots to fish.

  The refining process lasted for two hours.

   Waiting until one o'clock in the morning, the game finally popped up a reminder that the refinement was complete.

  【The fireproof mechanical arm went deep into the tumbling flames of the alchemy pool, and fished out an extremely hot stove from it. It was exposed to the air, and the room suddenly burst into steam. 】

  【You see a magma-like liquid flowing on the surface of the furnace, which looks uneven, but you can still feel the extraordinary power in it, beating like a heart...】

  【The mechanical arm sent the furnace into the coolant on the side. 】

  【The high temperature cooled rapidly, and the original crimson furnace body gradually washed away the dirt in the transparent refrigerant liquid, revealing the smooth furnace body shining with purple brilliance below! 】

  【Ancient Power Furnace: An imitation of the Eternal Power Furnace, which can provide unimaginably strong power and charging efficiency, and can drive up to three legendary accessories to run at the same time. 】

  【Old goblin Barney saw the power furnace successfully released, and the excitement in his heart is beyond words. At this time, there is only one last step left before the new mecha that he has been researching for many years. 】

  【"Quick, go and take it out!" Barney can't wait to give you an order. 】

I'm coming!

   What Mu You was waiting for was now. He held his pocket watch and looked back a dozen times before finally grabbing this opportunity.

  【You rushed forward, ahead of other robots, and came to the cooling device. 】

  【Your robotic arm stretches out, and slowly removes the power furnace from the icy liquid. 】

  【"Yes, No. 13, bring it to me quickly!" The old goblin was very satisfied with your capable style, and then waved and ordered you to hand over the power furnace to him. your choice…】

  【You rejected Barney's order! 】

  【You chose to send the power furnace into your body and started the fusion process...】

  【The fusion is successful, your power furnace has been replaced with: ancient power furnace, the current energy remaining: 2%, the time required to recharge when the energy is full: 32 minutes, or directly invest in magic crystals: 124...】

   "124, good guy..."

  The corners of Mu You’s eyes twitched as he watched. As expected of an epic power furnace, this capacity is really extraordinary. It can eat more than a hundred magic crystals at a time, and the charging speed is also ridiculously fast.

  In the original ordinary power furnace, a magic crystal can be filled with energy, but static charging takes more than five hours.

  The capacity of the ancient power furnace has increased by more than 120 times, but it only takes half an hour to charge, and the charging speed is more than 1200 times faster!

  【"No. 13, what are you doing?" The old goblin Barney looked at you incredulously, and his face quickly became extremely angry. 】

  【The other assistant robots on the scene have also realized your betrayal at this time, and they are all ready to raise their weapons at you...】

   At this time, there is no time to slowly recharge, Mu You chooses to directly add magic crystals.

  【You put 124 magic crystals into the power furnace, your power furnace is overflowing, and powerful power flows in your body. 】

  【You released the camouflage form, the shotguns on both arms emerged, and fired first before the other robots did it! 】

  【Intensive energy bombs emerged in the hall, flying towards all the assistant robots around...】

  【Power of God, trigger! 】

  【Chaotic circuit, trigger! 】

  【The assistant robots present have fallen into a state of confusion, and all attacks have a 75% chance of being deflected...】

  【The counter-attack shoulder armor of the assistant robot is activated, and missiles are fired randomly, but they are detonated by the dense energy network of the shotgun just after they leave the chamber, and the scene is full of people...】

  【Amidst the gunpowder smoke, you charge straight at the old goblin Barney, trying to take him hostage. 】

  【However, before you get close, a crystal cube appeared on Barney's body, enveloping him, and Barney's figure became unreal. 】

  【Barney has temporarily entered a state of exile, and all your attacks cannot hit the opponent! 】

   "Exile?"

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, he still wanted to hold the old man hostage and force him to ask about the whereabouts of the Eternal Power Furnace, why did he become invincible all of a sudden?

   Fortunately, the game automatically gave instructions at this time.

  【Emergency avoidance device: A safety device prepared by the goblins for important members of the clan. It will automatically activate when it senses danger, temporarily save the character body in a different space, unable to move, and remain in a state of being unable to be attacked. It will be automatically released after 120 seconds. 】

   "And this kind of thing..."

   Mu You was dumbfounded. This goblin clan has invented all these strange things. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to hold the other party hostage.

   There is no hope of holding him hostage, and Mu You didn't force it, anyway, the thing has already been obtained.

  【Sharp sirens sounded throughout Clockwork City! 】

  【You snatched away the 'Doom' mecha standing on the workbench, and ran towards the ventilation duct. 】

  【The locked old goblin Barney's eyes are breathing fire, but he can only watch you leave. 】

  The ventilation duct is another exit to the outside world besides the main entrance. After all, the thick smoke from alchemy in this laboratory must be exhausted every day.

  【You quickly crawled along the ventilation pipe, and soon entered another building connected by the pipe. 】

  【However, when you climbed out of the pipe, you discovered that the outside of this building has been surrounded by a large number of mechas, three floors inside and three floors outside! 】

  【Seeing your appearance, all mechas fired at the same time! Colorful artillery fire and energy bombs intertwined into an impenetrable firepower net, all pouring towards the building. 】

  【The building collapsed instantly under the artillery fire, and you were buried under the ruins...】
