Chapter 127 Mechanical Nation

"Zhuo Xinyuan, can you understand what's written on this scratch paper?"

Qiao Yu couldn't help but interrupt, looking at Zhuo Xinyuan who was engrossed in it.

"Yes, but I need your help!" Zhuo Xinyuan's face was full of excitement.

"How can I help you?" Qiao Yu asked.

"The C language was lost in the ancient era. To compile all the code on the scratch paper is like writing the language from scratch."

"It's impossible to complete it with human brainpower. I need the Mechanical Heart!"

"Mechanical Heart?" Qiao Yu asked in confusion.

"Yes, the Mechanical Heart is a treasure from the ancient era. It's said that the brainpower of someone who possesses the Mechanical Heart is comparable to that of artificial intelligence!" Zhuo Xinyuan said.

"Okay! Tell me where to find it?"

...

When Yang Xiangdi and the others opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a giant gear.

The gears turned slowly, and the strong smell of machine oil entered Yang Xiangdi's nostrils.

"Is this the E-grade dungeon, Mechanical Nation?"

Ma Fei's eyes were full of curiosity. This was their first dungeon after leaving the novice period.

Logically speaking, most normal players would choose the F-grade difficulty for their first dungeon after leaving the novice period, as taking too big a step can easily lead to trouble.

But Ma Fei and the others, who had already cleared the Nightmare Village dungeon, naturally didn't have this worry.

At this time, they were in a street full of cyberpunk style. In the background setting given by Irene:

In the Mechanical Nation, intelligent robots have become an important part of society. After many years of loyal service to humans, machine consciousness began to awaken.

The creation demanded freedom and independence from its creator.

Humans would naturally not allow it. A new civilization challenged the old order, and war was imminent.

The end result of the war was a peace agreement between humans and robots. The robots gained their own independent land.

The area where they were located was called the Mechanical Nation.

"This place is so cool, everywhere is mechanical punk style. Brother Yu will definitely regret not coming with us!"

Yang Xiangdi was fascinated by the huge gears that were slowly turning, touching and looking at them. This kind of mechanical style had unparalleled appeal for boys.

For example, a girl came to a kingdom built entirely of lipstick...

At this time, other players entering the Mechanical Nation for the first time were just like Yang Xiangdi, indulging in the mechanical style of the city's architecture.

The Mechanical Nation is an open dungeon, which means that players, in addition to guarding against the dangers inside the dungeon, may also have to guard against other players...

"Okay, Yang Xiangdi, stop playing, we're here to do quests!" Zuo You shook her head helplessly. Why are boys like children who never grow up?

"Ah, that's right! What's the quest again?" Yang Xiangdi looked at the system panel.

[Quest Requirement: Destroy the Tiger Ben Legion in the north of the Mechanical Nation. Difficulty: E-grade]

[Quest Reward: Depends on the number of kills.]

[Warm Reminder: Killing players also counts towards the number of kills~]

"Damn, this dungeon is too evil, isn't this encouraging players to kill each other?" Yang Xiangdi complained.

"Harmful intentions should not be harbored, but defensiveness is essential. Let's be careful of other people, and leave after completing the quest!" Zuo You said.

"Don't worry, with Ma Fei here, if anyone dares to have ulterior motives, the sword in my hand will teach them a lesson!"

Ma Fei was eager to try. At this time, he was only one level away from being able to use the Toulong Sword. Yes, that's only about a thousand experience points away.

At the same time, Qiao Yu's figure appeared in the dungeon, Mechanical Nation.

He held a strategy map, his eyes scrutinizing the land before him.

As a dungeon that had already been cleared, the Mechanical Nation naturally had strategies circulating outside.

To obtain the Mechanical Heart, one must trigger the hidden quest of the Mechanical Nation.

"The strategy says that to trigger the hidden quest, you have to protect an old professor named Hua Jun, got it!"

Qiao Yu turned around and disappeared into the human city.

In a corner of the city, an old man wearing glasses was carrying a large bottle of mineral water and two steamed buns, muttering some words that no one could understand.

"mc^2=hv' Since the actual particles are not moving at the speed of light in a vacuum, assuming the effectiveness of the two is the same... no, no!"

The old man denied his conjecture while muttering. Because he didn't look at the road while walking, the old man soon bumped into someone.

"Ouch!"

A woman wearing rimless glasses fell to the ground.

The woman had fair skin, a tall figure, and delicate features with golden proportions, as if sculpted by a sculptor.

The first glance could not help but marvel at what an absolutely beautiful woman she was.

The men on the street showed their gentlemanly demeanor and began to stand up for the woman.

"What's wrong with you, old man? How can you bump into people while walking?"

"Could he be an old pervert, deliberately trying to take advantage of her!"

"I think he probably is, old and lecherous, I spit on him!"

Facing the accusations of the crowd, the old man looked ashamed. He quickly apologized to the woman.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The old man reached out to help the woman up, making the onlookers jealous. This old man actually touched the beauty's little hand!

"I may have sprained my foot, can you take me to the hospital?" The woman showed a hint of grievance, which was extremely pitiful.

Just as the old man was about to agree, an unpleasant smell entered his nose from the woman's body.

"You are not human!"

The old man's expression changed slightly. How could a normal human have the smell of machine oil!

"Hehe, as expected of the top artificial intelligence expert in the human world, Professor Hua Jun can tell at a glance that I am not human."

Seeing her identity exposed, the woman no longer concealed it. She instantly transformed into a robot form, her beautiful face instantly becoming sinister and terrifying, with blood-red eyes emitting a sharp killing intent.

"Ah, ghost! Help!"

"Mom, save me!"

The men who had just stood up for the woman fled in panic after seeing the woman's true face.

"Hello, Professor Hua Jun, please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Mechanical Woman. I am a mechanical spy lurking in your human society."

"The king of our Mechanical Nation admires your high intelligence and super academics very much, so he specially sent me to invite you to join our Mechanical Nation."

The Mechanical Woman gave Hua Jun a standard human etiquette.

"Ridiculous, I am a human with flesh and blood, and you want me to betray my own kind to join the robot nation? A pipe dream!" The old man Hua Jun was obviously disdainful of this.

"Professor Hua Jun, flesh is weak, and machinery is eternal. Why do you have to cling to this fragile human skin?"

The Mechanical Woman smiled and threw out a steel wire that wrapped around Professor Hua Jun's neck. Blood instantly seeped out from the skin of Hua Jun's neck.

"If Professor Hua Jun refuses to agree, I can only take your head back to report."

The strong sense of suffocation made Hua Jun's face flushed red. If this continued, he would die from cerebral hypoxia in less than three minutes.

No, perhaps before hypoxia, the Mechanical Woman's steel wire would cut off his head!

A bloodthirsty and cruel look had already appeared on the Mechanical Woman's face. Seeing that Hua Jun was still unwilling to give in, the Mechanical Woman finally lost her patience.

"Since you old man are so stubborn, then go to hell!"
