Chapter 1 Along With the Second Hand Reaching Ten O'Clock

Accompanied by the second hand moving to ten o'clock.

A familiar sensation of teleportation flashed by. When he opened his eyes again, all was dark.

Li Ang blinked. His surroundings were pitch black, the air flowed slowly as if stagnant, and it was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

The feedback of gravity told Li Ang that he was standing on a flat surface.

[Phase One Mission Objective: Stay alive and use the logout node to escape]

[Mission Time Limit: 4 minutes]

[Mission Reward: None]

[Mission Penalty: None]

The system prompt sounded in his ears, and a large number of questions flooded Li Ang's mind.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What's going on?

What's with the mission objective? What is a logout node? At least give me a hint!

Deng deng deng deng!

Bright, pillar-shaped beams of light lit up above, and Li Ang's eyes instinctively narrowed.

Twelve spotlights, six on the left and six on the right, were located high up, emitting cold light, illuminating the vast space as bright as day.

Li Ang blinked and gradually made out his surroundings.

This was roughly a spacious, enclosed space, rectangular in shape.

The metal floor under his feet was solid and smooth, and the ceiling was about ten meters high.

Apart from the spotlights on both sides of the ceiling, there were no additional furnishings or decorations in the entire space, making it seem lifeless, silent, and solemn.

At the end of the space was a giant wooden door.

The material was unknown, brownish-red, and neatly inlaid with a large number of rivets. There was no lock or doorknob to be seen, but next to the door was a blue landline telephone.

The inexplicable situation completely baffled Li Ang.

The only good news was that he was still wearing his Lung Head White Lab Coat, and the Shenlong Red Crest Outerwear was still properly on his body.

[In this mission, players are in full role-playing mode, with no attribute enhancements, unable to use skills or skill scrolls other than title skills, unable to retrieve items from the inventory, and unable to use equipment items]

The sudden system prompt changed Li Ang's expression slightly.

It wasn't fear of the full role-playing mode (he had already experienced it twice in the [Perilous Building Fool] in the Philippines and the alchemist's [Against the Current Mayfly] missions).

Rather, it was surprise at the conflict in the system prompts.

No attribute enhancements? Can't use skill items?

Li Ang quickly opened the player panel.

As before, the player panel, including the backpack slots, had all turned a dull gray.

But the Lung Head White Lab Coat, Anti-Dragon Mad Helmet, Shenlong Red Crest Outerwear, and Colt Revolver were all properly equipped.

The surging power of the Swamp God also flowed within his body.

With a thought, strands of green data inexplicably flowed from Li Ang's palm, weaving into the shape of the Basha Heng Lan Spear.

The effect of the [Ladder Cloud Steps] skill appeared in his mind, and invisible steps immediately formed under his feet, bearing the weight of his body.

In the already grayed-out player panel, the spiritual energy value didn't move at all, and didn't decrease.

However, Li Ang clearly felt that a part of the energy in his body had been reduced—used to construct the Basha Heng Lan Spear and release the Ladder Cloud Steps skill.

What exactly is going on?

Data world?

Confused thoughts lingered in his mind. The extraordinary power of strength returning to himself not only did not provide a sense of security but instead spawned more doubts.

Li Ang's thoughts did not last long. The next second, the twelve spotlights all swept over, aiming at him.

Step.

Li Ang's feet gently tapped the ground, and his figure flew forward lightly, avoiding the spotlight's glare.

At the same time, he took out a machine gun from the [ftL Interstellar Pirate Sodium Ring], held it in one hand, and casually swept it toward the spotlights.

Da da da da da.

Flames spurted from the muzzle, and heavy bullets spun and struck the glass covers of the spotlights. They failed to penetrate, but instead ricocheted and splashed everywhere in the vast space.

There's something wrong with this place.

Li Ang's Swamp God power swept over the entire space, but he didn't detect the aura of any living creature.

His psychic abilities also fed back that they didn't detect any intelligent life's mental fluctuations.

His feet stepped on the invisible steps constructed by the Ladder Cloud Steps, and Li Ang's figure rushed toward the brown door in front of him like lightning.

However, for every ten meters he advanced, the door retreated twenty meters, and the distance between them increased rather than decreased.

The environment was unknown, and the situation was strange.

Bang bang bang!

The ceiling suddenly opened, and a large number of robots jumped down from the dark space above the ceiling.

These machines were generally blue, two meters tall, with slender limbs, and their bodies and arms were wrapped in white shields. Their faces were all electronic CG-like, featureless male faces.

"Detected, foreign intrusion program.

Strategy: Eliminate.

Implementing..."

All the robots spoke in a mechanical English, their pupils changing from blue to red, and longswords and shields appeared in their hands, surrounding Li Ang.

"Wait a minute! Robots, I come in peace..."

Li Ang raised his hands, his tone sincere, as if one could see the friendly smile on his face.

Shua—

Dense longswords crashed down like a city wall, and the robots at the front pushed their shields forward, trying to block the retreat route.

Li Ang stomped on the ground, using the Ladder Cloud Steps, his figure leaping up, avoiding direct combat, his mouth continuing to speak, "Robots don't fight robots,

Comrades, don't look at what I'm wearing, I'm actually a humanoid machine.

My last name is Optimus, and my first name is Prime, and Alita, Arale, and Astro Boy are all from the same production line, belonging to the 'A Family'.

My maid is Chii, my friend is Doraemon,

I like to smoke Panda Burn Incense and Trojan Horse Viruses the most,

Oil is my blood, and chips are my brains,

Ring the bell once! Push the lever, start the piston and pump..."

The situation was unclear, and Li Ang didn't want to rashly start a war.

But no matter what he said, no matter how he verified his robot identity, the robot clusters still attacked fiercely, piling up human ladders to kill him.

Even if he did a dynamic mechanical dance in the air, it wouldn't work.

Li Ang's expression gradually turned cold as he was surrounded.

With a wave of the long spear, under the blessing of the surging divine power, the Basha Heng Lan Spear, like a siege hammer, swept the rushing machines away, smashing them heavily against the wall and shattering them into slag.

The Colt Revolver fired continuously, and the materialized demon-breaking bullets hit the robots' chests, blasting their entire bodies.

Crack crack.

The shattered machine parts jumped and twitched on the ground.

Some of the parts that were not completely shattered bounced up and slowly moved toward each other, seemingly slowly gathering and restoring themselves.

Until they were caught and torn apart by the plant vines generated by Li Ang's Swamp God power, or hit by the Ten Fingers Dissolving Technique and corroded into slag,

Then they completely stopped moving.

The more I fight, the more there are...

Li Ang was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, easily breaking through the defenses of hundreds of robots. Wherever he went, the ground was broken and messy, full of potholes, as if it had been plowed by bombers.

However, as far as the eye could see, more and more robots were falling from the ceiling, with no sign of running out.
