Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 567: Rage Home Appliance Body

Stones with eyes gathered towards the light column and attached themselves to the mechanical monster.

As the number of stones increased, the mechanical monster's movements became slower and slower.

Yanwu seized the opportunity and rushed forward again, jumping onto the back of the mechanical monster, dodging the sneak attack from two air-conditioning outdoor units, and reached out to forcibly pry off a washing machine door on its back.

The hardware store owner pulled out Old Black, who had been unconscious for a long time, and then kicked away a rock man who wanted to cling to him, and swiftly jumped off the mechanical monster and retreated outside the light column.

At this time, the mechanical monster was still trying hard to fight with the Earth Man in mid-air. Its thirteen tentacles were waving vigorously, blowing away the Earth Man who was approaching.

However, there were too many rock men in the crater, tens of thousands of them. When one rock man was repelled, more would come up.

The mechanical monster was outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand. The rock men stuck to its body until it could no longer move.

Malu maintained the beam of light for a short while longer before canceling the illumination spell. He then sat on the ground, holding up his knees and catching his breath.

In order to avoid being stuck by those rock men, he was shining his light on the mechanical monster while running and dodging.

If the gravity on the moon was not only one-sixth of that on Earth, the millipede would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Fortunately, his strategy worked in the end. He used the light-seeking nature of the earthmen to successfully tie up the mechanical monster.

…………

Half an hour later, the lighting in the Pink Whale's bridge command room was restored and the spacecraft's life support system began to operate.

Five minutes later, Millipede saw the green light above his head, indicating safety, and then he took off the frog mask he had been wearing for most of the day.

At this time, Yanwu also came back from outside the door.

"It's fixed?"

"No," the hardware store owner shook his head, "The spaceship was damaged in many places. The Pink Whale smuggling group must have had a fierce battle with those dimensional pirates, but this is not the point.

"Ninety percent of a spacecraft's functions are unimportant and can break down if they do. The only thing that cannot go wrong is the power and energy systems."

"Is the power and energy system of this spacecraft broken?"

"It's not broken, it's gone." The hardware store owner said, "I just went downstairs to check, the energy core and the warp pulse engine are gone.

"I temporarily built a wire and connected the circuit to the backup battery I brought with me, which temporarily restored the life support system and lighting."

"So... the energy core and the engine on the spacecraft were taken away by those dimensional pirates?"

"That should be the case. Isn't there a big hole in the cabin left by them? And these two are also the most valuable equipment on the entire spacecraft."

"So when they come back, I have to ask them about the whereabouts of the energy core and the engine."

"No need to ask, those things have already been sold by them." The speaker was Lao Hei who was still unconscious before.

She finally opened her eyes, sat up from her seat, and rubbed her sore shoulders.

"Those dimensional pirates never leave their loot overnight, especially valuables. They believe in the old tradition of putting everything in their pockets before they run out of money. As long as the loot is not exchanged for something they can use, it is just a pile of useless junk in their eyes."

"That means if I want the Pink Whale to fly again, I have to buy a new energy core and a set of engines?" Malu frowned, "How much will that cost?" "The price of a pulse engine on the black market is about 1200 million star coins. Generally speaking, a plane spaceship needs both a main and a secondary engine."

"And the energy core is about 6000 million star coins." Lao Hei used to be a smuggler and was very familiar with the prices of these things.

Although he was mentally prepared, Malu still took a breath after hearing these two numbers.

This means that he will have to spend at least 8400 million star coins to repair the Pink Whale, which is an astronomical amount of repair costs.

The Infinite Universe Canteen has gradually gained fame among visitors from other dimensions, with its weekly turnover now being stable at more than 10,000 star coins, plus it has contracted the meals for those dimensional pirates.

Every month, goods worth 60 to star coins can be received, but even so, it will take nearly years to collect enough money for maintenance.

Lao Hei saw Ma Lu's dilemma and said, "Boss Ma, you can actually choose to sell the Pink Whale."

Yan Wu also said, "Those dimensional pirates only took away the energy core, the warp pulse engine, and the cargo on the ship. The rest of the things were left untouched. As long as we spend some time, the damaged equipment can be repaired."

"All these things together are worth 50 million star coins." Lao Hei said, "It's also a lot of money."

After hearing what he said, Malu's mood improved.

The Pink Whale was given to Lao Wang by the dimensional pirate king who was moved by Lao Wang's delicious food. If you round it off, it's basically free.

So Millipede had actually made the worst assumption about the situation of the Pink Whale. Before coming, he had thought that the spaceship might have been completely destroyed and scrapped in the battle.

The current situation is actually quite good. The spacecraft still has residual value, and it is quite a lot.

After selling it, not only could he repay the money he owed to Yanwu, but he could also initially achieve star coin freedom.

From now on, I can buy all the interesting high-dimensional creations in Lao Wang’s store, but at least I should have no problem filling up the collection cabinet in the basement of the new villa.

Thinking of this, Malu couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he didn't make a decision in a hurry. Instead, he asked Lao Hei another question first.

"Didn't you say before that there is no other intelligent life on the moon? Then what was that thing that attacked us just now?"

"It's a runaway home appliance. It's definitely not a native of this planet." Lao Hei said.

"what?"

"To put it simply, a runaway home appliance is a primitive silicon-based life form that is transformed from ordinary home appliances by activated energy," Lao Hei explained.

"These modifications usually have serious tendencies towards violence and chaos, but there are people on the black market who need them, and occasionally some purchase information will be posted."

"So that guy is actually from Earth?"

“Yes, it is also one of the cargoes carried by the Pink Whale on this return trip. We even specially converted a prison to transport it.

"I guess the prison was destroyed during the battle, and then the runaway electrical entity escaped from the spaceship."

"So that's how it is," Malu suddenly realized, "No wonder no one was attacked by the pink whale when it docked here before."

Lao Hei was still frightened. “It’s all thanks to you and Boss Yan this time, otherwise I would have died here. To be honest, when I was tumbling in the drum, I really thought I was going to die.”
