But giving up, Li Cunxu was reluctant.
After all, credit points were hard to co by.
Don’t be fooled by how easily a hundred credit points seed to co; that was due to the rewards from the freshman list. Without that, Li Cunxu would have to complete tasks for at least six months to accumulate enough.
"Xiaoyi, the strategy seems hopeless. Do you think I should give up on it?"
Li Cunxu inquired of the smartest person among them.
Xiaoruan pondered for a mont, "There might still be hope. I suggest monitoring for a while longer; circumstances might change."
At this ti, demolition robots covered the ground, searching for Li Cunxu. Among every hundred demolition robots, there was one bronze-level with a radar scanner.
Li Cunxu wasn’t too worried, having hidden in a deeply dug tunnel, lined with electronic shielding fabric of the sa material as electronic shield clothing.
The demolition robots couldn’t find him.
After five days, failing to locate Li Cunxu within the secret realm, they retreated and returned to their normal routine.
Construction robots by day, demolition robots by night.
After seven days, Li Cunxu only then released Xiaoruan’s clone to scout if it was safe above.
Xiaoruan suddenly exclaid with delight, "Master, look quickly, the Iron Slis weren’t wiped out; they’re actually being fed."
The construction robots, running over a tire mark on the road, placed the I-beams from their shoulders and deliberately rolled them towards a group of feeding Iron Slis.
Li Cunxu noticed there were many Iron Slis everywhere.
The proliferation rate of Iron Slis seed slow among the various Sli species, but in truth, it was the fastest proliferating Sli.
However, Iron Sli proliferation required sufficient iron, and Li Cunxu didn’t have mines at ho. The iron ore the Miner Sli dug up was just small iron ore, which limited the proliferation of Iron Slis.
As long as there’s enough iron, an Iron Sli with homogeneous splitting talents can split into fifty small Iron Slis in a day.
The next day, each of those fifty Iron Slis can split into another fifty.
Fifty tis fifty equals two thousand five hundred.
That’s only three days.
This is the terrifying proliferation capability of Iron Slis.
The scrapyard in chanical City was also an excellent breeding ground for Iron Slis. Why didn’t their numbers increase?
Most of the scrapyard was under the control of gangs ford by Scrap Kids. While Iron Slis consu chanical scrap parts, Scrap Kids also need these parts, leading to an irreconcilable conflict between them.
Scrap Kids consciously kill Iron Slis.
Iron Slis only know to harden and charge, and their bodies are very cumberso. In the junkyards, Scrap Kids possess surprisingly nimble footwork, easily dealing with Iron Slis, these iron turtles, which only know to retract and charge.
A quick maneuver around the back and a swift kick turns an Iron Sli into a football.
Co night, demolition robots didn’t attack Iron Slis either; instead, they tossed the bodies of dismantled companions to be consud by the Slis.
"I understand why normal construction robots didn’t target Iron Slis, but why didn’t the aggressive demolition robots attack them either; instead, they coexist peacefully?"
Xiaoruan explained the puzzle to Li Cunxu.
"I think the demolition robots are doing it for this reason."
Following the direction Xiaoruan indicated, Li Cunxu saw a demolition robot bending over to pick up leftover iron blocks the Iron Slis couldn’t fully absorb.
"So that’s it, for the iron blocks."
Under the deliberate feeding by the demolition robots, the Iron Sli population expanded at an exaggerated speed.
Xiaoruan said, "The original purpose of raiding the secret realm seems to have been achieved. It appears irrelevant whether the Secret Realm of chanical Demolition is even conquered now."
"Oh! It really seems so," Li Cunxu exclaid joyfully.
The initial goal of raiding the secret realm was to find a secret place to proliferate the Sli numbers and allow Xiaoruan to collect more attribute taxes.
Now, even without conquering the secret realm, that aim has been achieved.
"It seems there is no need to raid it."
"Yes, and I can achieve the raid if I want to," Xiaoruan confidently stated.
The sinkhole passage leading to the underground city had bronze demolition robots acting as guards, and they allowed just one type of creature to pass — the Iron Sli.
Xiaoruan’s clone could mimic Iron Slis, infiltrate the underground city, and poison the chanical Mother.
Poison the chanical Mother, and the demolition robots beco rootless water; as Xiaoruan keeps bombarding, rootless water eventually evaporates under the sun.
Once the raid succeeds, there’ll be tal mines at ho providing a steady supply of weaponry to the chanical Pupil.
Li Cunxu contemplated, "There’s no need to complicate matters, abandon the secret realm."
Xiaoruan agreed as well.
Raiding the Secret Realm of chanical Demolition, the chanical Mother was crucial but not the most critical link; the key elent was the one manipulating the demolition robots behind the scenes.
Both Li Cunxu and Xiaoruan realized soone was controlling the demolition robots.
Evidence one: Iron Slis could coexist peacefully with all the raging and mindless demolition robots at night.
Evidence two: After demolishing city buildings every day, demolition robots start brawling, during which a few get promoted to bronze rank through combat, and by dawn, they enter the underground city. This clearly indicates soone behind the scene is training soldiers, then collecting the trained troops.
... There are nurous other pieces of evidence.
Li Cunxu didn’t want to raid anymore, partly because of so apprehension toward the person manipulating the demolition robots.
Originally, it was the chanical God Sect of the Crowned Evil God who wrested this secret realm from Shendu and infected the construction robots, turning them into demolition robots.
The individual behind controlling the demolition robots is undoubtedly deeply connected with the chanical God Sect.
Moreover, the initial aim had been fulfilled, so risking one’s life to explore what cards the adversary holds was unnecessary.
Before leaving the Secret Realm of chanical Demolition, Xiaoruan stumbled upon a good fortune.
An Iron Sli injected with a Mutation Needle mutated into a tal Sli.
tal Slis can digest a variety of tals and distinguish different tals from an alloy part.
It has two skills.
The first is tal Decomposition, a gold trait.
It can quickly decompose various tals within alloys.
The second is tal Armor.
This skill is quite interesting.
Like a Constant Light Armor, it’s a growth skill.
By absorbing various tals, it enhances the defense strength of the tal Armor.
tal Armor skills require investnt; the more tals absorbed and the more diverse the tal types, the stronger the defense.
However, the tal Armor, despite the investnt, still can’t match the Constant Light Armor.
The rate at which tal Armor absorbs tals is like a snail’s pace; the growth period is simply too long, which is why only older beast pets apply it in battle.
There is a way to increase the absorption speed of tals for tal Armor, which is through skill proficiency. The higher the skill proficiency, the faster the tal absorption.
With Xiaoruan collecting skill experience taxes from tal Slis, tal Armor proficiency isn’t a worry, aning that the slow growth period of tal Armor won’t be an issue for Xiaoruan.
"With two growth defense skills, Xiaoruan, you’re getting tougher and tougher. How about you switch roles with the chanical Pupil, you beco the tank, and it becos the Mage?"
