Secret base.
In the control room, light screens flickered, displaying the situation in the Machinery Cavern.
Hayashi River sat in front of a table, his hands flying as he continuously entered and analyzed the various parts of the cavern to see which mechanical parts would produce a high yield.
Beside him, Blue Kitty was also helping, categorizing the situation in the cavern.
Since the day of the accident in the Machinery Cavern, Hayashi River had worked for three days and three nights. Together with Mossy Bone, he was finally about to complete this task.
He had gained a lot in these three days. According to the conclusion of the analysis, the mechanical parts produced in the Machinery Cavern, as well as some materials, could completely satisfy the materials needed to create a Heart Element Equipment and [Phantom of Void Bones].
"Unfortunately … there are very few materials to upgrade [Scaled Arm] here!" Hayashi River sighed.
"What's the use of analyzing so much? Do you want to hire people to come here and find gold? "
Mossy Bone could not help but remind Hayashi River not to forget their current situation.
Because of the mine, many people were watching them. Hiring people to excavate these materials would be met with heavy resistance.
As for buying from the gold-diggers in the Machinery Cavern, that was not realistic.
One had to know that the gold-diggers in the Machinery Cavern were very lax. Whatever they found would either be for their own use or sold to merchants. The highest bidder would get it.
It would be very difficult to buy large quantities from the gold-diggers, even if other factions did not interfere.
"Sir Mossy Bone does not need to worry about this. I have a way," Hayashi River said.
…
A week later.
The commotion caused by the accident in the Machinery Cavern had finally subsided.
However, due to the impact of the accident, the gold-diggers here were very cautious and did not dare to enter the depths.
After all, the culprits that caused the accident, the two realm four mechanical puppets, had not been destroyed.
It was not that they did not want to destroy them, but the mechanical puppets in the depths were very good at hiding. Finding them was one thing.
Moreover, to destroy a realm four mechanical puppet, at least a realm five powerhouse would be needed. The price was very high. Who would be willing to pay?
…
Night.
In the depths of the cavern, Leon quietly advanced, avoiding dangerous areas.
As a lone ranger, Leon knew that this was a good opportunity for him to make a fortune before the commotion died down.
Over the past week, he had investigated and found out that the area where the big accident happened was a "treasure land".
The mechanical wreckage there was very high-level. Although there were two Realm Four Mechanical Puppets, as long as they avoided them and excavated a batch of mechanical parts, it would be a considerable income.
Leon had been so poor that he had replaced all his accoutrements. His pockets were empty.
"I hope my luck is good and I don't run into those two mechanical puppets. Let me make a fortune."
Leon prayed as he went.
Of course, if he dared to come here, he must have some confidence. As a level-3, level-7 expert, the Heart Origin Equipment on his body was a two-piece set of [Rock Blade Swift Travel Set] from Huwan Lake City Munitions Factory.
If he encountered a level-four mechanical puppet, even if he couldn't defeat it, Leon was confident that he could retreat safely.
Ding!
He pressed on the goggles and brought up the map of the area, showing the approximate location.
"It should be here …" Leon muttered.
The map was only a rough sketch, with only the outline of an area marked by a green dot that represented Leon's position.
This map alone cost him 500 gold coins.
This price would be a scam in the outside world, but in the Machinery Cavern, it wasn't expensive. It was even a friendship price.
"Sigh … If only the Machinery Cavern's map could be as accurate as the outside world …" Leon fantasized again.
This fantasy was also the fantasy of countless gold miners …
However, gold miners also understood that it was ultimately just a fantasy …
There were too many mechanical wreckage here, and they were all releasing different waves. How could it be possible to accurately locate them?
Suddenly, a bright light nearby attracted Leon's attention. He looked around cautiously for a moment, then tiptoed over.
In front of him was a metal cabinet that looked like a vending machine.
Inside the cabinet, the other columns were all closed, and only one column was lit. It was a mechanical device that looked like a map.
Below that column, there was a line of words — First trial free!
"What is this?"
"Could it be one of those terrifying legends of the Machinery Cavern …"
Leon's expression changed. The more accidents happened in a place, the more strange and mysterious legends there were.
In a place like the Machinery Cavern, those terrifying legends never stopped, and there were new versions every year.
Mechanical dolls that appeared in their dreams …
Giant rats that suddenly appeared when they were panning for gold …
A terrifying creature wearing the skin of a machine …
…
Leon had heard of such legends, if not a thousand, then at least eight hundred …
However, he had never really met any of them, and Leon did not believe in them.
Now, looking at this strange metal cabinet, Leon was a little nervous. This scene was so similar to the terrifying legends he had heard.
However, looking at the line "First trial free", for some reason, a voice kept circling in Leon's mind, telling him to press it.
Then, as if possessed, he raised his hand and pressed the button, and the map machine fell into his hand.
When Leon came back to his senses, he looked around, but there was no metal cabinet. Immediately, he broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that he had really encountered those terrifying things from the legends?
"This map machine … Could it lead to some strange place …"
Just as Leon was about to go back the way he came, the map machine lit up, scaring him so much that he almost threw it away.
Then, he saw that the topography of the area that appeared on the map machine was very similar to the map he had bought.
Ding ding …
Two red dots lit up and moved quickly in his direction.
Without hesitation, Leon hid to the side. Not long after, two mechanical marionettes rushed over and searched the area. Finding nothing, they ran to other places.
Click, click …
The sound of the mechanical marionettes moving faded away. Leon was inexplicably shocked. He looked at the map machine in his hand and realized something.
Half an hour later, Leon had unearthed a bag of mechanical parts. He was wild with joy. The map machine showed a map of the area and could accurately locate the mechanical marionettes in the area.
With this map machine, he had unearthed a bag full of good things. He had really made a killing this time.
"This thing is really a treasure! Looks like those legends aren't all that scary after all. I'm just a lucky guy … "
Leon was elated. As he touched the map machine, his expression suddenly changed. The map machine showed that it was out of battery.
It's okay!
He brought a charger!
As a veteran gold digger, Leon was well-equipped. He had prepared a double set of all types of chargers.
However, Leon soon discovered to his dismay that no matter what kind of charger he used, he could not recharge the map machine.
Watching the map machine's screen gradually dim, Leon's heart sank as well. Could this thing only last for half an hour?
His fortune had only lasted for half an hour. That was too short …
Looking around, Leon did not dare to linger. This place was very dangerous. Without the map machine, it was best to leave as soon as possible.
Pressing on the goggles again, Leon looked at the sketch displayed on it. He secretly despised it as he quietly left.
At the edge of the area, Tyrion paused. He saw another flash of light, identical to the one he had seen before.
"Could it be …"
Leon was inexplicably surprised, but he did not act rashly. He continued to observe for a while.
In all kinds of terrible legends, it was often at the last moment that one would meet a tragic end.
A moment later, Leon crept closer and saw the metal cabinet again. Still, only one bar was lit, but it was open, as if signaling for him to return the map machine.
With all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Leon did not want to return the map machine. Although this thing could not be charged, when he returned, he could ask the mechanics to do some research. Perhaps they could create a matching charger.
However, he thought of the legends where too many people ended up dying a violent death because of their insatiable greed.
After thinking about it, Leon decided to be rational and put the map machine back.
Click!
As soon as that bar was closed, the metal cabinet shook, and the other bars lit up one after another. Inside were different types of mechanical instruments. There were special jammers, special magnetic bullets …
However, the words below those bars were no longer free. Instead, they required the corresponding mechanical parts to be rented as a fee.
Moreover, under the metal cabinet, there was an exchange window that supported the exchange of mechanical parts according to the fluctuating market price.
"This … this is a chargeable map machine, and it's an enhanced version! There are map machines in the depths of the cave for each area …
"This special jammer can interfere with Level Four mechanical puppets, including Level Four mechanical puppets. Oh my god …"
Leon's heart pounded. This vending machine was simply a divine machine!
Such a good thing had actually happened to him. Leon wondered if he was one of the main characters in the legends …
"I, Leon, will be rich from tonight onwards!
"Next year, when I earn enough money, I will return to my hometown and pursue the goddess of my school days …
