The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: 288


After getting rid of the Alumera messenger, Han Xiao went to look for Frenzied Sword and the others . He was going to test the dungeon creation function .

Han Xiao went to the building next door, and none of them were home . Han Xiao scratched his head . He took out his laptop, ran a program and searched through the images of all the hidden surveillance cameras in the sanctuary to find a match for these four faces . Not long after, the locations of these four were found . Maple Moon was learning new fusion recipes with Emerald Grass . Green smoke was billowing out of the drugs . A few honest players stood to the side, probably there to test the drug .

Hao Tian was in the arena doing a Challenge . As a pro player, he had very high expectations for himself, and he never stopped honing his skills .

Frenzied Sword was getting beaten rapidly by Hila like a sandbag . Hila had taken Han Xiao's advance and found an Inhuman to train and develop her power . Aurora sat in her wheelchair and watched while hugging Bear Cub, and Bun-hit-dog was recording excitedly . Bun-hit-dog was closer to Frenzied Sword . He felt very happy, seeing that Frenzied Sword was getting beaten brutally… true friendship .

Han Xiao headed to Hila's house and called the others on the way .

Just as he entered the yard, a black shadow flew away above his head . It was Frenzied Sword, and without thinking, Han Xiao pulled him down from the sky .

Hila stopped her training, her floating red hair dropping down and going back to curly hair that extended to her waist, and the red light in her eyes faded away . Han Xiao looked at Frenzied Sword, who looked miserable, then nodded in his heart . The Hila now resembled who she was in his previous life much more .

Bear Cub struggled to stand on Aurora's lap, fell onto the ground, and then ran to Han Xiao . The cub climbed up his leg, hugging on Han Xiao's neck and swung like a backpack . Bear Cub was very well taken care of, and its weight had almost doubled .

Han Xiao raised his hand and slapped Bear Cub away, then looked at the combat information on the interface . Bear Cub was LV 18, four levels higher than when he had brought it back .

Sharp Claw Ice Bear species, rather good growth potential .

Hila felt complicated . She was full of hatred toward Germinal Organization, but she had never thought that such a big organization would ever be destroyed completely . Her hatred and grudges disappeared with that ground shaking explosion . She remembered when she had first met Han Xiao—who knew that weak, pale-faced test subject would have such legendary achievements after just one year?

Seeing her expression was abnormal, Han Xiao took out his laptop, opened a few photos, and passed it to Hila . The photos were the ruins of the Germinal Organization headquarters after the nuclear explosion, captured by Six Nations' drones . It was black and scorched earth .

"After an explosion like this, they're most likely all dead . Even if there is anyone left, it will only be those of insignificance, so don't have to worry about Germinal Organization coming back unless they are tired of being alive . " Han Xiao paused before saying . "You were once a member of the Germinal Organization, so you are on Six Nations' wanted list too, but you are on my side now, so Six Nations won't be against you anymore . "


Hila frowned . "I never agreed to be your subordinate . "

Aurora raised her hand and said, "I want to be . "

Hila reached out her hands bitterly and messed Aurora's hair . Aurora's golden hair had grown longer, reaching her ears .

They chatted for a while till Hao Tian and Maple Moon arrived . Usually, Han Xiao would only summon them if something good was going to happen, so they were looking forward to it .

Han Xiao used the dungeon creation function . After some contemplation, he selected the Dark Crow Valley operation . To create dungeon crystals, this was suitable for the standard of the players at the moment .

"Dungeon Crystal?" The four of them exchanged looks .

The average level of the player at the moment was 30, so they were starting to come into contact with dungeons . There had already been 11 fixed dungeons found on Planet Aquamarine, which meant that these dungeon crystals could be earned multiple times from a character by repeating the mission . They mostly came from the various organizations, and they were all small five-man dungeon .

New dungeons meant new opportunities—the four of them completed the mission and received the reward . A white rhombus crystal appeared in their hands, and they could enter the dungeon by shattering it .

"This is a five men dungeon, so we need one more person," Frenzied Sword immediately said . "Let's see if we can at least complete it with 'Normal' grade .

Because of Han Xiao, they always stuck together, so they were very familiar with each other .

Hao Tian nodded . "Okay, I'll ask Rebels Shall Rule from Team one of Sky Territory . "



Nobody had any objections . The four of them came to the square, and after waiting for a while, Rebels Shall Rule ran there full of joy . God Hao Tian was his idol, so he was very happy that he could just be with his idol .

The five of them formed a team .

"Let's enter the dungeon and take a look . "

Frenzied Sword shattered the crystal . Fog gushed out, covered the five of them, and disappeared from the crowded square .

…

Their vision blurred, and when it recovered, the surroundings had become a forest . It was night, and it was difficult to even see their own hands .

Backward Time Travel Dungeon let the players participate in an event that had happened before by duplicating that event .

The notification showed on their interfaces

"Such high rewards!" Rebels Shall Rule was shocked . As a very important member of the guild, he had seen a lot and knew a lot . The LV30 dungeons that the players had seen at the moment usually only had two to three missions, and the total reward was 70,000 to 80,000 EXP . Yet, there were five missions in this dungeon with so many rewards!

Rebels Shall Rule then thought about it, and his face turned serious . "However, the higher the reward, the more difficult it will be . "

The other four exchanged looks in confusion .

Is that so?

Never felt any part of the missions from Black Phantom were difficult…

"We are different," Bun-hit-dog said with a heavy heart . He did not have the heart to correct Rebels Shall Rule .

Frenzied Sword looked at the notification and said with surprise, "The dungeon will only start in ten minutes, but we can already move freely . What does this mean?"

This the first time that they had met a dungeon with a countdown, so they were a little lost .

Actually, the countdown would only appear in more difficult dungeons . The players would enter the event sometime before it happened so that they could do some preparation . The time for the start of the mission was the night when Hesla agents were going to steal the intelligence, so the players had the opportunity to prevent that . If they successfully did and changed the beginning of the story, the difficulty of the entire dungeon would drop from 'Hell' to 'Difficult' . However, the interface did not notify them about this; the players had to explore this themselves .

In the future, when Han Xiao opened this dungeon, after the players in the sanctuary got tortured by it a few hundred times, only then would they find the correct way to start the dungeon .

Of course, at the moment, the five of them were unaware of the importance of those ten minutes; they started the dungeon as usual . However, this was their first time in this dungeon . This type of dungeon was different from those that were just about killing monsters; it was more realistic and more difficult . The five of them had fun in agony, going around and around like headless chickens . They could only follow the job given by the base and patrol .

One day passed this way . During their patrol on the second night, Bun-hit-dog suddenly received a headshot .

_____________________

Your teammate [Bun-hit-dog] has died .

_____________________



"What‽" The rest four of them were horrified . They looked in all directions immediately, but the forest was dense . The night was dark, and they had no idea where the enemy was .

Bang!

This time, it was Hao Tian who took a headshot . The rest of the three felt like the enemy was everywhere, and they were understandably anxious .

Hao Tian's voice appeared in the team channel . He said very seriously, "The interface said I received a lethal attack . The person that killed me was Black Phantom!"

They were dazed . It turned out this was a dungeon with Han Xiao in it! And as the enemy!

They were very discouraged .

Han Xiao's dungeon creation function was to cut out an event that would be generated into a mission . The characters in the dungeon were all mirror images, replaying events exactly as they had happened . It had nothing to do with the original person, and they had a certain amount of dungeon enhancement .

After three consecutive shots, all three of them died . Their visions blurred again, and they were back in the square . They had spent one day in the dungeon, but only ten minutes had passed in the outside world; the flow of time in the dungeon was different .

_____________________

Dungeon [Dark Crow Valley Operation] Failed .

Dungeon Cooldown: 3 hours

The five of them all smiled bitterly .

This was way too difficult . They did not even know how they died .

…

On the other side, Han Xiao saw the return of the five of them from his surveillance image, confirmed the dungeon crystal to be effective, and started pondering .

"Dungeon crystals can only be distributed through mission rewards and can't be sold for money . Its use to me is to gather more players and give them more benefit, so the players will be more willing to do things for me . Also, the players will know about my experience through the dungeon, which will in turn increase my position . These are all rather indirect benefits… I can't sell the dungeon crystals, so there's no direct benefit . "

Han Xiao suddenly paused . He slapped his head and laughed . "I'm thinking about this the wrong way . There's no need to sell them…"
