Astral Cockroach

A spacious cabin with all the surrounding bulkheads painted black, along with prominent icon text reminders: Heavy Metal Fuel Radiation.

Along one wall, 10 tall humanoid robots stood side by side, their chests plated with red numbers, ranging from TD051 to TD061.

Suddenly, Banbu realized a crucial point: the spaceship wreckage had landed upright, facing downwards.

Inside the cabin, standard-sized decay fuel blocks, each 28cm long, 13cm wide, and 10cm high, were neatly stacked. Originally, the cargo hold should have been full, but over the long years, the robots had automatically added fuel, slowly depleting the supply. Now, only a small pile remained.

The moment Banbu entered, he was immediately drawn to the radiation emitted by these decay energy field fuels.

This level of nuclear radiation had absolutely no effect on cockroaches.

The Azure Mantis King and Princess Jinqiu seemed to be the same, completely ignoring the fuel's radiation.

"Mountain Lord Banbu, they are unnatural life forms, capable of movement, and incredibly strong."

"These neatly stacked metal blocks are not of ordinary weight."

Princess Jinqiu introduced, stepping forward and using her forelimbs to lift, while simultaneously unleashing her metal manipulation ability. Together, they managed to move a decay fuel block and drop it on the ground.

Clank, clank, clank…

Robot No. 1 activated from its standby state.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, the lubricating oil had evaporated or deteriorated, causing the robot to emit metallic friction noises from all over its body as it moved.

The Azure Mantis King reminded, "Mountain Lord Banbu, don't be afraid. They are very stupid, only capable of doing work, and only one type of work at that."

Robot No. 1 stepped forward, picked up the fuel block that Princess Jinqiu had dropped on the ground, and placed it back in its original position.

Standing at attention, turning around, stepping forward, returning to its original position, and re-entering standby energy-saving mode.

"Mountain Lord Banbu, look again." Princess Jinqiu said, and then dropped the fuel that had just been stacked back onto the ground.

Clank, clank, clank…

Robot No. 2 was activated, stepped forward, picked up the object, neatly placed it, returned, and entered standby energy-saving mode.

Princess Jinqiu dropped the object on the ground again.

Clank, clank, clank…

Robot No. 3 was activated…

"Hehe, fun, isn't it?" Princess Jinqiu called out, "Mountain Lord Banbu, you should try it too."

"…" Banbu said, "I understand, I won't try… I probably can't move that thing."

Banbu strongly suspected that these 10 humanoid robots were originally well-preserved, but had been ruined by these unscrupulous fellows.

The Azure Mantis King said, "We should take care of the important things first."

Having said that, he waved his antennae, pointing to a dusty sliding door in the distance.

Banbu had already noticed it, and at this point, he was 100% certain that behind this door was the energy system.

There was a large white skull on the door, a danger warning.

There were also patterns and text labels: Decay Energy Field, Do Not Approach!

Next to it was a string of smaller characters: Maintenance Dedicated Channel, Defense Level Ⅶ.

The purpose of this door was to enter the energy cabin and inspect the unit equipment.

The door had been welded shut.

The entire body was made of a material similar to the Silver Edge weapons, which the insect warriors of this planet could not shake. Banbu's current metal abilities were also ineffective.

Usually, fuel was added from the feed inlet next to the gate.

When the energy cabin equipment malfunctioned, or when it was time for maintenance, this welded door would be opened, and maintenance personnel wearing special protective equipment would enter for inspection.

The Azure Mantis King waited for a while, then asked, "Mountain Lord Banbu, how does it feel?"

"It won't work." Banbu shook his antennae and said, "This kind of metal material is too powerful. My metal conversion ability has no effect on it at all. I'm afraid I'm powerless."

"As expected." The Azure Mantis King was slightly disappointed.

Princess Jinqiu said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, this type of material is similar to the material of the weapons hanging in your cave, right?"

"Yes." Banbu said, "All around the cabin is made of this metal material."

"That's right, this is the most heavily defended nest chamber in the entire wreckage. There must be some kind of precious treasure hidden inside." Princess Jinqiu said regretfully, "At present, I can't think of any way to destroy this material."

What would happen if it was destroyed?

Behind the door was a Level Ⅶ defense system representing the highest level of human technology. No matter what kind of Blade Mantis King or Golden Mantis King you are, you would all be instantly turned into slag, okay?

Fortunately, they were only creatures of the Primordial Force level, and didn't have the ability to seek death.

Banbu knew what was behind the door, and asked listlessly, "Princess Jinqiu, are there any other doors that look easier to open?"

Princess Jinqiu said, "No, except for this one, all the others have been opened."

If you can't open the door to the energy cabin, then there's definitely one cabin door on this fragment that you can't open, okay?

After all, they are not of the same race, and they are not willing to trust 100%!

Banbu then asked, "I don't have the ability to shake this door, so what should I do next…"

Banbu knew that the Azure Mantis King had already guessed the result, and was probably deliberately tricking him over to help with other things.

Sure enough, the Azure Mantis King said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, next, I would like to trouble you to study that… metal thing that can move on its own and sweep the ground together with Princess Jinqiu and the others."

"…" Banbu said helplessly, "Alright."

The newest and most complete novels are at Liu 9 Shu Ba, first published!

The Azure Mantis King noticed that Banbu wasn't very interested, and added, "Many of these things have been found in the wreckage. Mountain Lord Banbu, if you can figure out how to use it, we can give you an extra one."

The lowest-end floor-sweeping robot, take it back to sweep the floor? What's the use of that?

You guys aren't planning on selling the robots for money, are you? Have you gone crazy for money?

Banbu frantically complained in his heart, but then he thought again, and felt that it was wrong: simple floor-sweeping robots were indeed worthless in human society, but on this planet, if someone's cave had such an interesting high-tech toy, then the entire cave's status would instantly increase by several levels!

Floor-sweeping robots have no practical use, but in the eyes of some particularly wealthy insect warriors with a lot of raw stones to spend, they have another value.

Princess Jinqiu added, "There is also a considerable raw stone reward!"

Raw stone reward? The Blade Mantis tribe is very stingy, okay.

Banbu asked, "How much would it be?"

Princess Qinggou said, "It will not be lower than 10 Primordial Force Crystals. You and Princess Jinqiu and the others will study it together, and the reward will be divided equally. The prerequisite is to figure out how to use them and ensure that they can still be used after leaving the wreckage."

That means several warriors per group? 10 Primordial Force Crystals divided equally? How many will there be when divided?

Sure enough, he was pulled over to do hard labor again.

"Understood." Banbu was unhappy, tapped the floor with his antennae, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, "Azure Mantis King, are there any nest chambers below? Why do I feel like there's something below?"

"No." The Azure Mantis King said, "It's empty below, there's nothing."

This Mantis King is not good at lying, he seems very unconfident.

Princess Jinqiu quickly changed the subject and said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, you must be curious about that particularly cold room, right? Come on, I'll take you over to take a look, and introduce you to another warrior in our group by the way."

"Alright." Banbu stopped asking.

Following her back to the previous level.

The Azure Mantis King didn't want to squeeze into the elevator, and left in advance.

Princess Jinqiu took Banbu on a quick tour of the food refrigeration warehouse, and took the elevator to the 4th floor of the spaceship wreckage, entering a spacious cabin.

The martial arts cabin where human warriors usually practiced.

Inside the warehouse, there were two types of robots: 4 disc-shaped floor-sweeping robots and 2 humanoid utility robots that organized weapons and repaired equipment.

The martial arts cabin did not use the energy of the food refrigeration warehouse, so the cabin was pitch black and there was no electricity.

There was also a Dark Night Golden Mantis tribe warrior who was fiddling with several small electrical boxes with level three source crystals, conducting tests and research in a serious manner.

Princess Jinqiu warmly greeted as soon as she entered the door: "Princess Fengyang, this is Mountain Lord Banbu of Lizhu Peak, the one I told you about, who simultaneously masters metal and fire abilities and possesses many God-given species."

"Oh." Princess Fengyang raised her head, glanced at Banbu, and simply greeted, "Hello!"

After speaking, she continued to bury herself in research.

"…" Banbu stuttered, "Y-you, hello."

Princess Jinqiu said, "Princess Fengyang likes to think and doesn't like to communicate. She has already figured out many useful things. Our group relies on her to compete for the Primordial Force Crystal reward. Mountain Lord Banbu, you won't mind, right?"

Banbu nodded his antennae to show understanding.

Princess Jinqiu said, "Come, Mountain Lord Banbu, let me introduce you to some of the results of our current research. In addition, I also hope you can tell me what you have mastered… what is that thing? I feel it is very useful, I hope you can tell me."
