The Transpiration left, but it did not leave completely.
The Transpiration would occasionally send out troops to attack the gravel area. In order to stop the Transpiration's attack, the Ershi Min had to place mines at the edge of the gravel area where the Transpiration often appeared and arrange for a fleet to patrol.
However, the Evaporator didn't pose much of a threat after that incident. The biggest threat came from the …
… a price had to be paid … or it would be destroyed.
That was what the creature said.
The creature that the researchers had contacted by chance helped drive away the Transpiration's attack, but it said that the Ershi Min had to pay a huge price. The price was that the Ershi Min had to do various things for it.
There was not just one task, but many. The creature did not say the exact number, but asked the researchers to do it continuously.
The tasks ranged from simple to difficult. The simple tasks included using certain substances to soak or beating up a solidified creature.
Because there were many solidified creatures in the research institute, these tasks were relatively easy to do.
The difficult task was to go to a certain place in the gravel area to capture a solidified creature. There were still some wild solidified creatures in the gravel area.
Among these solidified creatures, there were some very powerful ones that were required to be captured. In order to capture these solidified creatures, there was usually a huge loss.
At first, the Ershi Min worked very hard to complete these tasks because it thought that these creatures could easily drive away the Transpiration … and could easily destroy them.
Therefore, it specially arranged for a captain and a group of researchers to complete the tasks issued by the creature.
However, as time passed, the threat that the Transpiration once posed became smaller and smaller, and the creature's requests continued to be endless.
This made the Ershi Min, especially the researchers and the captain in charge of the mission, more and more impatient. There were many times when they said that after doing so many things, the price should be paid.
However, the creature said that it was not done and that it had to continue the mission.
These creatures were all about solidified creatures. Some of them were very difficult, and the robots did not understand the meaning of the mission at all. After capturing the creatures, there was no next step, and it did not matter how the creatures were treated.
This kind of strange and difficult mission made the captain in charge of the mission feel that there was no need to continue. Although he did not say it out loud, he deliberately delayed some of the missions or handled them simply.
For example, if it wanted to capture a very big one, it would simply capture a very small one. The captain's actions caused the creature … to be angry.
The creature said that it could not pay the price properly, so it had to accept the punishment. Its punishment … was quite special.
According to Lin's information, the punishment wasn't to inflict destruction or anything like that. Instead, it was to make some small areas explode and cause the warship to malfunction. Furthermore, it was to make certain areas, such as the commercial street, suffer from a long-term power outage.
It looked like a punishment that had nothing to do with life, but it still caused quite a bit of trouble for Ershi Min.
It also said that if he did not continue to do his job well, the malfunction would only get worse.
Because of this, the Captain had no choice but to complete the mission. However, this gave the Captain some ideas.
It believed that this creature did not have any powerful strength or technology, and could only make some sneaky things.
Although they could not find the cause of the malfunction, the behavior that caused the malfunction gave the Captain the impression that it was very weak.
The Captain even thought that this creature might not be something from the Void, but was hiding in the rubble area. Perhaps it was hiding in the city. The Captain decided to find it.
However, before that … the Captain still worked hard to complete the mission. After all, causing a large-scale power outage would still cause a lot of trouble.
However, this creature's demands became more and more excessive. Slowly, it was not satisfied with just capturing solidified creatures, but had … the Captain create some solidified places.
In fact, it was asking the Captain to use the original solidified weapons to blow up some places, which would cause many solidified creatures to appear.
The Captain did not agree at first, but it soon caused another power outage and large-scale malfunction. In the end, the Captain went … and completed the mission.
Fortunately, the solidified creatures that appeared later were not a threat.
However, the Captain's' impatience 'towards this creature slowly turned into anger and hatred. The Captain recorded and reported what happened to it. It said that it should find a way to get rid of this thing.
Otherwise, it would definitely become a greater threat.
However, it was then that the creature suddenly made a … special request. As long as this request was fulfilled, it would not have to do any more missions in the future, and the price would be paid in one go.
And this request was related to Ershi.
The robot Ershi Min here had always been communicating with Ershi, and their mutual communication technology developed together. However, for some reason, this creature also knew about this.
The Captain and all robot citizens who could communicate with living creatures strictly followed a rule when communicating, and that was to not let this creature know anything about the situation here.
Because once it knew, it would target certain places. Originally, the malfunction points were random. However, one time, a researcher accidentally revealed the location of a more important power plant, and it specifically malfunctioned that power plant.
And now, it did not know who had leaked it, or if it knew about it, but it knew about Ershi.
It said that it also knew about Ershi, and it asked the Captain … to use the solidified creatures they captured to create a very special weapon.
And to use this weapon to attack Ershi. It would not cause any harm to Ershi, but it would create many solidified points around Ershi.
This would cause a large number of solidified void creatures to appear around Ershi, and these creatures could possibly cause harm to Ershi.
As for why it wanted to do this, it did not say. It only said that it would not issue any more missions after this was done.
Then, of course, the Captain refused. All robot citizens who knew about this thought that they could not harm Ershi and its compatriots.
Therefore, the creature said that it did not matter, and that it could do it whenever it wanted to.
It continued to issue all kinds of missions, just like usual. This situation continued until … Lin's arrival.
At this time, the creature also happened to issue a creature. It asked the robot citizens to create a detector, and asked them to use this detector to find 'adaptive creatures'.
As long as they found an adaptive creature, they would bring the adaptive creature to it. The adaptive creature must be safe and unharmed.
And after using the detector … they found …
