In a dark and quiet square, Hayashi River and Blue Kitty appeared. One man and one cat looked at each other, wondering why Little Meow was able to follow them in.
Looking around, the square was dead silent. The edges were shrouded in fog, and they couldn't see how big it was.
"This is Withered Square …"
Lin Chuan looked at the ground. There were protruding lines intersecting with each other. They looked like thick blood vessels, and when he stood there, he felt as if his heart was throbbing.
"Crack …"
Blue Kitty approached its master. Suddenly, it was a little scared, even though it was in a holographic environment.
Sha sha sha …
A wisp of fine sand fell and landed on Blue Kitty. The latter screamed and jumped up. It was so scared that its skeletal body seemed to be dancing. It was a little funny.
Hayashi River was speechless. This little guy liked to be surprised. It was the same when it was watching horror movies at home.
Looking up, the sky above the square was dark. There was a small crack in the dark space, and fine sand was falling from it.
Crack …
The crack continued to expand, and then it completely cracked. White light shone down, and a man waved a thin silver sword. He had a pair of light wings on his back, and he slowly floated down from the darkness.
"Welcome to Withered Square!"
The man shouted in mid-air.
This scene reminded Hayashi River of the arrival of an angel. However, looking at the man's strange appearance, it didn't seem holy at all.
"Creatures chosen by the darkness, you have passed my test. Now, are you willing to offer your soul and make a deal with me? You will obtain the power to rule over the world …"
The man held his hat with one hand and raised the thin sword high. The light wings on his back spread open, and holy background music started playing …
Hayashi River: "(ー `′ ー)"
Blue Kitty: "(̄ ∀ ̄;)"
This scene, the man and the cat, was very familiar. Wasn't this the line of the main villain from last year's drama …?
Clang!
Hayashi River pulled out the Black Crow Scimitar and said in a deep voice, "No, I refuse! Evil in the darkness, I am here to destroy you … "
"Crack …"
Blue Kitty also pulled out her sword and put on an extremely chuunibyou stance. It was the stance of the main character in a drama who was ready to fight to the death.
As the background music continued to rise, the three people in the square began to act out the climax of the play …
After a long time …
When the music stopped, the man held the rapier in one hand and the brim of his hat with the other, and saluted the crowd.
Clap clap clap … Hayashi River and Blue Kitty gave their warmest applause.
"Thank you, thank you everyone …"
After bowing, the man looked at Hayashi River and Blue Kitty and sighed in satisfaction. "After so many years, only the two of you have such artistic talent to accompany me in this wonderful performance."
"Of course. Actually, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were an artist, "Hayashi River said.
The man laughed and looked at Hayashi River as if he was a lifelong confidant.
Hayashi River smiled in response. He thought to himself that the Dead Bone Mosta was indeed a failed experiment. This artificial intelligence wanted to be an artist, but its acting was a little clumsy.
However, this artificial intelligence seemed to be easy to communicate with. This made Hayashi River speculate if he could get more benefits from it.
"Come. Black Crow 8423, Black Crow 8424, sit, sit … "
The man waved his hand, and a table, chair, and tea set appeared. A stove rose in the middle, illuminating the surroundings with a warm atmosphere.
"Your Excellency, how should I address you?" Hayashi River asked.
"I am the artificial intelligence system of the Dead Bone Mosta. You can call me — Mossy Bone," Mossy Bone said with a smile.
His deep eyes flickered with light. No matter how one looked at it, there was a sense of horror …
Lin Chuan did not think much of it. He started chatting with him and asked about Dead Bone Moss. He was very interested in the history of one of the experimental sites for Automaton Throne.
He poured a cup of sweet milk tea from the teapot made of bone. Blue Kitty took it and drank happily. This scene looked a little strange …
"The original Dead Bone Mosta … It's so long ago. I've almost forgotten when it was …"
The Dead Bone Mosta was built during the long Dark Age. The span of that period of history was too long, and Mossy Bone could not remember the specific time …
As the experiment site of the Mechanical Throne, the Dead Bone Mosta was a failure. After that, it became the trial site of the Undead Tribe and the White Dwarf Tribe.
"An artificial intelligence system like Sir Mossy Bone must have been injected with the consciousness of a powerful Spiritual Energy Master …" Hayashi River asked.
The technology tree of this world was a little off in many aspects. For example, artificial intelligence systems were one aspect. They were very strong in terms of calculation, but the artificial intelligence was really lacking.
An artificial intelligence system like Mossy Bone was hard to come by even now …
As a Mechanic, Hayashi River knew that there was a chance of creating an artificial intelligence system like Mossy Bone if a powerhouse above Level Seven who was proficient in spiritual energy injected their spiritual energy into an artificial intelligence system.
Of course, this required a huge amount of spiritual energy, which was the full strength of this powerhouse.
Mossy Bone turned around and stared at Hayashi River with his deep eyes. He frowned and said, "Your tone doesn't sound like a Pugilist genius. Instead, you sound like a Mechanic."
"I'm a Mechanic …" Hayashi River said honestly.
He was not showing off, nor was it because Mossy Bone was an artificial intelligence system that he had no qualms about self-destructing.
Rather, the change in the ninety Battlefield reward made Hayashi River understand that if he did not display some of his strength, he might not be able to get the reward he wanted.
Mossy Bone's eyes widened in shock. He then smiled and said, "Only by embracing the darkness can a living being like you unleash your full potential …"
"If Sir Mossy Bone is willing to give more rewards, I don't mind embracing the darkness."
Hayashi River started acting again …
"You're really a unique Mechanic! The few Mechanics in the past were all more rigid than the last. The only one who wasn't rigid was Cromwell, but he lacked artistic talent … "
Mossy Bone sighed in admiration.
Cromwell, huh …
Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat. He was about to ask.
However, Mossy Bone said, "Then, let's talk about the reward for ninety-nine victories?"
It's here, it's finally here …
Hayashi River sat up straight, and so did the Blue Kitty. One man and one cat sat upright, looking like they were all ears.
"The reward for ninety-nine victories is based on different living beings."
"Until now, no one has ever obtained the highest reward of ninety-nine victories."
Mossy Bone smiled.
Hayashi River was stunned. He asked, "No one has ever obtained the highest reward? What about the continent's Madman, Cromwell? "
"Neither did Cromwell. He did not fulfill one of the conditions, so he only obtained a reward one level lower," Mossy Bone said slowly while sipping his milk tea.
"What reward did Cromwell obtain?"
Hayashi River asked again.
This was actually his real goal. No matter what the highest reward was, the reward one level lower was related to the third level of the Windmill Suppression Art.
Mossy Bone narrowed his eyes but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Black Raven 8423, are you level two now?"
Hayashi River nodded and told him that he was level two level eight.
"Then you should know what the change from level two to level three is …"
Hayashi River nodded again. The three levels of Psychic Force lay in unlocking. Psychic Force Locks.
The cultivation of the second realm would strengthen the physical body, and the third realm would build on this foundation. It would solidify and condense the elemental heart force. Opening the elemental heart force channel in the body would be like opening a door.
This was the so-called unlocking.
At level three, the Psychic Force Locks needed to be unlocked were the head, hands, feet, and heart. Each part was divided into front and back, or up and down. This was the Twelve Locks of Psychic Force.
"99 wins. The reward for level one is to open one more Psychic Force Lock at level two and three," Mossy Bone said.
Hayashi River's eyes widened. He was shocked. Of course, he understood what it meant to open one more Psychic Force Lock.
"As for the highest reward, as you know, it's to open one more Psychic Force Lock."
Mossy Bone looked over. "The conditions for the highest reward are very strict. You have to be under 30 years old and possess Materialized Psychic Energy. When Cromwell first came, his psychic energy had not reached the level of materialization, so he only obtained the reward one level lower. "
"As for you, Black Raven 8423, you meet the conditions. You can obtain the highest reward. "
For a moment, Hayashi River felt inexplicably refreshed. It turned out that the profound meaning of level three of the Windmill Suppressing Skill was to open one more Psychic Force Lock.
If he opened two more Psychic Force Locks, did it not mean that he could deduce the third level of the Windmill Suppressing Skill to a more perfect level?
"But …" Mossy Bone's voice dragged out.
Hayashi River's body froze. He hated this turn of events the most. If there was a condition, why not just say it all in one go?
"Black Raven 8423, if you help me with one thing, on top of the highest reward, I can give you another reward that is not inferior to yours," Black Raven 8423 said.
Mossy Bone said.
"Okay. Your Excellency Mossy Bone, we evil creatures who embrace darkness, what can't we do? Tell me, Your Excellency, do you want to leave this place and conquer the sea of stars? No problem, I have a way … "Hayashi River's tone changed as he spoke.
Mossy Bone: "…"
Listening to this tone, he suddenly felt that Black Raven 8423 was more of a villain than he was.
