Chapter 6989 The Secret Chamber of Mechanical Puppets

The scene inside the secret room was displayed before Olivia's eyes, but she dared not enter.

She knew in her heart that this opportunity had nothing to do with her and that she was not qualified to receive it.

If you harbor greed and try to take what doesn't belong to you, you'll only invite trouble.

Another reason was that she simply couldn't be sure whether the secret room ahead was safe.

If she were like the Iron Can Puppet, attacked as soon as she entered, she probably wouldn't last even three seconds.

If these terrifying mechanical puppets were to attack together, they could chop her into mincemeat in a short time.

Tang Zhen stepped directly into the newly opened secret room, completely ignoring the potential risks.

Sure enough, the moment Tang Zhen stepped into the secret chamber, runes and magic circles on the ground began to flash.

The row of dusty mechanical puppets standing against the wall were all activated at this moment.

Their manufacturing style is very similar to that of the previous iron cans, indicating that they were all designed and made by the same monk.

Although it looks rough and simple, its combat power is quite impressive, and it is also designed with multiple damage protection circuits.

This visionary design greatly enhanced the combat power of the mechanical puppets, which is why the previous five-person expedition team suffered losses.

Upon seeing this group of mechanical puppets, which charged straight at Tang Zhen, Olivia, who was following behind, felt a chill run down her spine.

"careful!"

Even though she knew Tang Zhen posed a threat to her, she still instinctively cried out, her heart filled with tension and unease.

At that moment, he saw Tang Zhen wave his hand.

The mechanical puppet, which had been activated and entered attack mode, suddenly stopped in place, and then a plume of smoke emerged from the gap.

The menacing mechanical puppet instantly lost its power and remained motionless in place.

Olivia, who witnessed this scene, was filled with surprise and doubt, unable to understand how Tang Zhen had managed to do it.

In addition to brute force, energy blasts can also be used to destroy mechanical puppets.

Alchemical bombs can do that because they can release terrifying energy instantly.

Some practitioners have attempted to use their mental power to cause destruction, but all attempts have ended in failure.

The impact of mental energy is simply incomparable to that of an alchemical bomb, much like the difference between a cannonball and a bullet.

Olivia could see clearly that Tang Zhen hadn't used any props; he had simply waved his hand casually.

Such a casual action led her to suspect that Tang Zhen had destroyed the mechanical puppet using his mental power.

If that were true, it would be a terrifying thing, because Tang Zhen's single thought was comparable to an alchemical bomb.

If he were to launch an attack, he could tear a person to shreds with just a glance.

Another possibility is that there are no visible scratches on the surface, but the inside is riddled with holes.

The sheer power of high-level cultivators filled Olivia with envy, yet also a profound sense of powerlessness.

"You can come in and choose what you want."

Tang Zhen's voice came, causing the alien female cultivator, who was lost in thought, to pause slightly, and even doubt her own ears.

The act of so generously sharing a newly opened secret room with others goes beyond mere generosity.

Under normal circumstances, even if Tang Zhen were to offer a reward, it would have to wait until the item's appraisal was completed.

Wouldn't it be extremely frustrating to accidentally give away your most valuable possession to someone else?

Tang Zhen didn't care about the matter and let Olivia choose for herself, which showed his admirable magnanimity.

The female cultivator, filled with fear, initially wanted to refuse, but swallowed her words back.

If a powerful person like this offers a reward, it's best not to refuse. Refusing valuable gifts from a powerful person may seem like a good thing, but it could actually backfire.

After all, this kind of giving can also be seen as a command.

They dare not refuse the orders of the strong, but dare to refuse the rewards they are given, unaware that this is also a form of defiance.

Olivia realized this and immediately entered the secret room, her eyes scanning the items on the workbench.

She didn't expect to obtain any treasures, but she also didn't want to waste this opportunity. She wanted to take the chance to find a tool that suited her.

Explorers have many tools, each with different functions, and the more sophisticated and complex the tool, the more expensive it is.

Having advanced tools will give you a significant advantage when you're working, saving you time and energy and greatly increasing your chances of success.

Olivia was short of money; although she wanted a few sets of tools, she never had enough to buy them.

This secret room must be the workshop of a puppet mechanic, and perhaps the tools he used are left behind.

With this in mind, Olivia's gaze swept across the workbench and soon landed on an object that looked like a wrench.

This object looks like a wrench, but it has many dense lines, proving that there is more to it than meets the eye.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a combination tool, an important item used to create and dismantle mechanical puppets.

Without this item, cultivators would be unable to dismantle the mechanical puppets.

Although its design style differs from common tools, it does not affect its usability.

These tools used by cultivators from other worlds may have unique features and be slightly superior in performance.

Although she had a goal in mind, she didn't know whether she should speak up, fearing that Tang Zhen might also have his eye on the item.

Little did she know that Tang Zhen had already seen through her thoughts.

"There are seven tools in total, and you can take any of them to use. There is also a space toolbox, which is used to store tools and parts."

Several items flew up automatically and landed in front of Olivia, including the combination wrench she had her eye on.

Olivia couldn't figure out the specific function of the other items either, which proved that her experience and eyesight were simply inadequate.

The spatial toolbox is extremely expensive and is generally only equipped by formal cultivators, but it provides great convenience.

Things I never dared to dream of are now right in front of me, and I've even gained ownership of them.

"Thank you for your generous gift!"

Olivia thanked him without question this time, because this was exactly what she had been dreaming of.

Now that it's presented to her, if she were to hypocritically refuse it and miss out on it because of it, she would never forgive herself.

After expressing her gratitude, Olivia immediately checked the tools, her face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

Tang Zhen chuckled softly, reached for a notebook on the table, and began to read the contents.

Tang Zhen had never seen the words used in the diary before, but there was a special way to decipher them.

The same thing may be recorded by different races using different languages, but in the eyes of the rules, these different written records, once stripped of their outer shells, all have the same core.

Tang Zhen doesn't need to learn to read; as long as he can read the Heavenly Dao runes, he can understand the contents of the diary.

Through the diary entries, Tang Zhen seemed to see a cultivator's daily cultivation and research.

The owner of the secret chamber was a cultivator of the highest level who had a good talent for making mechanical puppets and firmly believed that powerful puppets could be made from scrap metal.

Spend a little money to achieve great things; the main focus is on low investment and high returns.

The ultimate research direction is to create the strongest mechanical puppet at the lowest cost.

Upon seeing this, Tang Zhen couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that this guy was just being stubborn despite his poverty.

Many details in the secret room prove that the former owner was penniless. If he had been richer, he wouldn't have made the secret room so shabby.
