Universal Mechanic

Luo Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and said: There is a desert behind the lava. If we are not careful, we may run out of water.

Xi Qiling said while drinking milk: Do you want milk?

Luo Yuan: That’s not necessary. I’d rather drink energy drinks than milk.

Ashtar: Those two can't get enough water, right? We should have some water with us.

Luo Mengli: And if all else fails, I can also use alchemy to make water.

Charlotte: If there were cacti, we could save a little.

Luo Mengli: The prerequisite is that it must be available, and I don’t know if it can be eaten.

Luo Yuan: Compared to this, there are no other living creatures here except a few rabbits.

Xi Qiling: When it comes to desert terrain, the most classic thing is the sandworm.

Luo Yuan: It’s just a sandworm, not a burrowing demon worm.

Asta: That would be fun, right Ross?

Ross: Don't be boring. After all, ordinary burrowing insects are no match for us.

Finn: But there is definitely no smell of any living thing... Hmm? Is there anything moving at one o'clock in front of your partner?

Asta looked in the direction Finn said and said: What is that? A huge cactus?

In front of everyone was an extra-large cactus that was five meters high and three meters wide.

Luo Mengli: It’s really big. How did it grow so big?

As Luo Mengli spoke, she walked towards the cactus and wanted to study it. At this moment, the spikes on the cactus suddenly shot out!

Luo Mengli instantly took out her spear and swung it to deflect the spikes, while Xi Qiling used a barrier to seal the cactus so that the spikes would not fly towards them.

While studying the spike he had just caught, Luo Yuan said: Paralyzing poison, it seems like this is how it kills prey.

Asta: The effect is quite good, almost comparable to Fenghua's paralysis poison. Could it be naturally generated?

Luo Mengli: That should be the case, but this cactus? It should drop something related to paralysis poison.

Xi Qiling: You’ll know after killing him.

As he spoke, Xi Qiling shrank the barrier and pressed the cactus into a specimen. In the end, only a bottle filled with green liquid was left on the ground.

Luo Yuan looked at the spike in his hand and said: How interesting! Is this also considered a dropped item?

Xi Qiling: Sometimes this situation happens. Do you want to collect some?

Luo Mengli: Well, this thing is very suitable for tricking people. Luo Yuan, do you want it?

After Luo Yuan handed the spike in his hand to Luo Mengli, he said: It’s of no use to me.

Asta: I'm also a hound, and it's much more convenient than this.

Luo Mengli: Then I’ll accept it!

Xi Qiling: But it’s strange that there is no such thing in the information I received. Basically, on the desert floor, sandworms or sand rabbits, poisonous snakes, giant ants and the like will appear occasionally.

Luo Yuan: It is indeed a special monster. After all, although it is a desert, there are still too few living creatures here.

Xi Qiling: Most likely it was absorbed by the cactus, right? But it's a bit strange how such a thing could appear here? This should be the outermost layer with the least number of monsters.

Luo Yuan: It probably takes a lot of time to absorb. But if this is the case, it is impossible for only one cactus to make this place so clean. In other words, there are other cacti here.

Just as everyone was discussing, countless spikes flew towards them but were blocked by Xi Qiling's barrier.

Xi Qiling: It’s indeed a large group.

It was at this moment that they saw the true identity of the people coming. It was a large group of cacti with legs.

Luo Yuan: Hey, has this God-like-looking O plan been wholesaled?

Xi Qiling: Be careful of infringement, but it’s not easy to move like this.

Luo Yuan: It’s not difficult, Asta, let’s go.

Asta: Got it.

After saying that, Asta raised his crossbow and shot an arrow. Then Asta and Luo Yuan suddenly appeared in the group of cacti. With a swing of the sword, they directly cut down a large area of ​​cacti, and the other cacti were blown up by the black energy bullets when they turned around.

Then there was only a pile of fallen objects left on the ground.

Luo Yuan: Oh, the equipment exploded!

As he spoke, Luo Yuan picked up the rapier that had fallen to the ground.

Luo Yuan: He is quite simple. I don’t know what abilities he has. Can Xi Qiling identify him?

Xi Qiling took the rapier and said: Yes, let me take a look. It has a paralyzing effect, but it is useless to us at this level. Do you want it, Charlotte?

Charlotte took the rapier and tried it out for a while before saying this.

Charlotte: It's not too heavy, which makes it perfect for thrusting, and its ability is also suitable for me.

Luo Yuan: Then it’s yours. So where are you going?

Xi Qiling: Generally speaking, if you keep going forward on this kind of floor, you will definitely find the boss room, but I'm a little curious about the direction these cacti come from.

Luo Yuan: These guys look like puppets, right? Do you think there might be something controlling them?

Xi Qiling: That’s right. If it’s a new boss, I can use it to do a favor for the Adventurer’s Guild.

Luo Yuan: Then let’s move forward.

When a few people were running in the desert

Shen Yanyan lay on the sofa tiredly and said: I'm so tired! There are so many fugitives!

Luo Cangyue: Have some ice water to cool down.

As he spoke, Luo Cangyue handed a glass of ice water to Shen Yanyan.

After taking the cup of water, Shen Yanyan said: Thank you, it’s really troublesome. In order to prevent the fugitives from escaping in the chaos, I can only take a small number of elite troops to catch them.

Luo Cangyue: Everyone is so busy. It would be great if I could help, even though I’m under house arrest and can’t go out.

Shen Yanyan: Speaking of going out, they haven’t come back yet?

Feng Xiaoyu: After all, that place is very big and even it would take us some time to move. They might not have reached their destination yet.

Shen Yanyan: Is it that big?

Feng Xiaoyu: Yes, I probably won’t be able to see them until tomorrow.

Luo Cangyue: It sounds fun.

Feng Xiaoyu: It won’t be fun when you get lost. Besides, there is a desert floor over there, so be careful about the lack of water.

Luo Cangyue: ...The desert? Forget it. What is this in your hand? A cactus?

Feng Xiaoyu said as she held a few pieces of cactus flesh that were as long as a person.

Feng Xiaoyu: Oh, yes, I just picked some fresh cacti. Xiao Mingqin, where should I put these?

Xiao Mingqin: Just put it on the table. It’s much bigger than I thought. Why doesn’t it have any thorns?

Feng Xiaoyu: The thorns were too long so they were cut off. What’s the point of having a cactus anyway?

Xiao Mingqin: I suddenly thought of using it to make smoothies, ice cream and popsicles. Of course, it is also suitable for adding to salads, which is sour and sweet and very appetizing.

Feng Xiaoyu: Now, let’s take a look at this: a local dish I’ve eaten before used cactus to stir-fry dishes, but I remember that I could hardly taste any cactus flavor.

Xiao Mingqin: Oh, that’s a good idea. I’ll try it out when the time comes.

At this time in the maze

Luo Yuan looked at the human-shaped cactus in front of him and said: Why is his little brother so big and the boss's body so small?

Xi Qiling: Maybe it’s concentrated?

Paji.

Luo Yuan tossed the arm of the cactus he had just broken off and said: But it's not that strong, is it?

Xi Qiling: Maybe it’s because all the nutrients were used to increase the number of troops?

As he spoke, Xi Qiling fired a shot and blew up the cactus that was trying to attack him from behind.

While smashing the boss in front of him, Luo Yuan said: Your shooting skills are okay, but it seems that you still have to kill these soldiers.

Xi Qiling: Please, I haven't used a gun for a long time. This is already pretty good, okay? Guns are not as useful as magic.

Luo Yuan: But it turns out that a gun is a good choice in this special situation.

Xi Qiling: If I can use magic, would it be so troublesome? By the way, can I remove the barrier?

Luo Yuan: Retreat, it’s time for the mopping-up!

As they spoke, the two began to increase their efforts to clear the cactus cluster.

At this time in other places

Asta swung his sword and chopped the cactus in front of him, then said: This is the last one. I didn’t expect that so many hounds are tired of eating these cacti.

Ross: Don't let us eat this weird stuff! And we are wolves! Not dogs! Those damn second creators made up the story!

Asta: Okay, okay, calm down. Now we can finally move to the next level. Maybe there will be meat to eat on the next level.

the other side

Charlotte: Okay, let’s go back now.

Luo Mengli said while picking up the fallen items: Is it over?

Charlotte nodded and said: Well, a treasure chest has appeared over there and they are waiting for us to go over and open it.

Luo Mengli: What are you waiting for? Let’s go!

Ten minutes later, in the boss' room

Luo Yuan: Now that everyone is here, let’s unbox it!

As he spoke, Luo Yuan opened the treasure chest and was pushed aside by the three girls to eat dirt.

Luo Mengli took out the things in the treasure chest and said: Huh? Why is there only one thing? There must be something wrong with the design!

Xi Qiling took the green gem from Luo Mengli and said: "Maybe it's not a design problem, but we won the jackpot! This is a good thing that the Creation Stone can use to create a small world!"

Luo Mengli: Create a small world? But it is useless to us. The newly created small world is not as comfortable as the small world of the end.

Xi Qiling: I don’t deny that, but this thing is very valuable or it cannot be measured by money?

Charlotte: Who do we have available to us?

Xi Qiling: Uh... not at the moment. After all, creating a small world is too troublesome to deal with and we don’t have the patience.

Luo Yuan: So a rare but useless item came out. Is this considered lucky or unlucky?

Asta: Probably... half and half? After all, it seems to be quite valuable.

Luo Yuan: That's fine! But this level took quite some time. If we keep going like this, we'd better find a place to rest when we get to the next level.

Xi Qiling: This is the fifth floor and it's normal that the difficulty is a bit high, but I also agree that we should take a rest. The difficulty of the next floor should be similar to this one. As long as it is not a strange terrain, it should not be difficult to find a place to rest. It would be strange that we ran through five floors without a place to rest.

Luo Yuan: Anyway, let’s go down now?

When several people moved

Anna, who was enjoying her boneless fried chicken steak: Hmm? I feel like they have something fun to bring me.

While eating the salad Chu Yunqi prepared for him, Lin Changye said: What kind of strange premonition do you have? Aren't you tired of eating like this?

Anna said while eating fried pork chops: It's not greasy and very delicious.

Lin Changye: I feel sick of looking at it. By the way, I have designed what you want, but the size is a bit big.

Anna: It doesn't matter. As long as it's powerful enough, I don't mind carrying a star destroyer around.

Lin Changye: The power is calculated according to the amount of holy light you inject, but there is still an upper limit, so when it reaches a certain level, the alarm will sound and you can pull the trigger.

Anna: I like the simple and clear operation.

Lin Changye: After all, it’s good enough if this kind of thing is useful. By the way, I wonder what those guys are doing now?

Anna: Don’t worry. You won’t die anyway.

Chu Yunqi: But will they eat well?

Anna: Luo Yuan can cook, right?

Lin Changye: He and Asta can, but conversely, they are the only two who can do it.

Anna: Oh, so that's true. But it shouldn't be a problem if there are two people who can cook, right?

And now in the maze.

Luo Yuan and Asta looked at the pot in front of them with flames spewing out of it, and then they looked at each other and decided decisively that they would cook the meal.

Some distance away from the women's group

Luo Yuan said as he rearranged the fire: ...Luckily I still have a set of kitchen utensils with me.

Asta said as he used a knife to process the ingredients: Although I can have the meal thanks to you, why are there two sets?

Luo Yuan: Because one set is used for poisoning and the other set is normal. By the way, the set they used is used for poisoning, because the metal used in that set of kitchen utensils can determine whether the food is poisonous.

Asta: ...No wonder you dared them to try to cook.

Luo Yuan: Otherwise, are we going to let them ruin our dinner? You can see that they still haven't figured out what the problem is. They can just cook soup with water and milk, why add alchemical potion...

Asta: I also want to know why... By the way, should the shrimp be cooked into soup or grilled?

Luo Yuan: While you are picking out the shrimp thread, please twist off the shrimp head and give it to me. I will fry it and use it to make soup.

ten minutes later

Luo Yuan took a sip of the soup and said: Well, it's just for the sake of dealing with it, so this should be fine, right?

Asta put the slate on the simple grill and said: I have also prepared the slate, you can start grilling.

Luo Yuan: I think they have almost given up.

Charlotte: I surrender!

Xi Qiling: We’d better not come into the kitchen again…

Luo Mengli: I agree...

Luo Yuan: I’m glad that you still have some self-awareness. However, let’s eat first because we still have to run some maps.

Half an hour

Luo Yuan said while packing his things: Then we can almost set off.

Xi Qiling: Judging from the monsters that appear in the maze, the boss of this floor is a Cyclops, although I really don’t understand why it is in this order.

Luo Yuan: Maybe the floors are in a mess.

boom! ! !

At this moment, an explosion was suddenly heard.

Xi Qiling: Is there a magical fluctuation? There are people here?

Charlotte: Maybe it was already here, but I don’t think I should worry about it, right?

Xi Qiling: Well, it’s hard to say. After all, I can feel the breath of life approaching this side.

Luo Yuan: Let's get ready to save people. This after-meal exercise is really too hasty.

At this time, a group of adventurers in front were being chased by a Cyclops holding a mace.

The people in front are running away! The Cyclops is going berserk!

Luo Yuan: Who’s going to go up?

Xi Qiling: Ah, first of all, if the eyes are not blown up, the probability of dropping will increase.

Luo Mengli: Asta, come on! Cut off my head cleanly!

Asta: It sounds terrible, but it works. I'm lucky it was exactly 120 degrees.

As Asta spoke, he suddenly turned around above the Cyclops and chopped off the Cyclops' head with one swing.

Then Asta landed easily with the Cyclops' eye in his hand.

Asta: I have to say it is really big, Li, catch it!

As he spoke, Asta threw the huge eyeball directly to Luo Mengli who opened the special storage bag, and the eyeball fell right into the bag.

Luo Mengli: Nice three-point shot! I'll give you a bottle of the next potion after it's made!

Asta: It's all right, but the medicine that cures my illness needs to be better.

Luo Mengli: That's fine. By the way, why are these people standing there like idiots? The Cyclops's skill hasn't been activated yet?

Xi Qiling: The contrast is too big, your brain must have frozen, right? After all, it is impossible for them to chop off the head of the Cyclops with one sword!

Luo Yuan: Anyway, there is a safe area ahead, so we can just leave it there and go. If it is just this serious, we can just kill our way through.

Charlotte: I don’t really want to do strenuous exercise right after eating and sitting for a long time…

Xi Qiling: Don't worry, with our luck, it won't happen that we can defeat the boss just by taking two steps.

As they spoke, they left the adventurers standing there in a daze and walked forward.
