Life Dungeon Game

Li Cheng turned his head and glanced out the window.

The view outside the window had somehow transformed into the restaurant he had just left before getting into the car. He slowly stood up, smiled and said goodbye to He Ao, "Looking forward to our next meeting."

He Ao escorted him to the car door and then watched him get out of the car.

Li Cheng turned around and glanced at He Ao, watching the seemingly ordinary young man, holding onto the car door, disappear into the void along with the enormous mechanical beast.

He looked up at his watch; it was 11:30 a.m., which meant they only had three hours to prepare the materials list.

In fact, since the ruins will open tonight, they must also finalize the quotas and candidates before the ruins open.

At this moment, He Ao, who was standing on the street outside the window, withdrew his gaze from the moving shadows on the street and glanced at the quiet interior of the restaurant.

Jodan National Park

In a secluded mountain forest, a colossal mechanical beast burst forth from the void and came to rest in front of a cliff face riddled with narrow, deep caves of varying sizes.

He Ao disembarked from the Verola and walked to a deep cave with a diameter of about thirty centimeters.

Standing at the entrance of this cave and looking inside, the cave becomes narrower and narrower as you go in, making it impossible for a normal person to pass through.

And this is where the 'boss' stored the 'central processing unit' that he brought out from the ancient tower.

He Ao gazed at the cave, donned a black cloak, and walked step by step toward the narrow entrance.

I've written too much. I'll post a super long chapter later, please vote!

I'd like to recommend a friend's book, "Celebrity Wives Have a Thousand Layers of Tricks."

Chapter 609 Creations from the Ruins (Two-in-One Super-Large Chapter, Seeking Monthly Comments)

The Verola behind them once again entered the void, and as Heo's figure gradually approached the narrow cave, his body began to twist in a way that defied common sense.

His entire body was elongated, like an acrobat on stilts in a circus performance. His waist and chest began to shrink and become thinner, and his overall body began to flatten.

The cloak he was wearing at that moment was a B-grade extraordinary item called the 'Substitute Cloak,' which was an extraordinary item formed from the talent sequence left behind by the boss after his death.

Using the Substitute Cloak, Heo's body can twist into a long, thin, dark shadow, allowing him to pass through narrow areas that are inaccessible to ordinary people and move quickly within them.

In the end, He Ao's body transformed into a pure black shadow, rushing into the narrow cave like a streak of light.

The interior of the cave became increasingly narrow, as if it were a dead end. The narrowest part was not even as thick as He Ao's calf. Even with the life-saving cloak, He Ao had to be very careful to barely pass through.

As He Ao passed through the cave, he also used his divine sense to quickly scan the internal structure of the surrounding rock layers.

These rock formations appear to be naturally formed, but their internal structure shows numerous traces of artificial construction.

It was likely that natural rocks were later artificially reconstructed to resemble the original. Beneath these rock layers are densely packed sensing devices, with one device at almost every certain depth.

If a person of 'normal' size tries to dig into the deepest part of this cave, he will inevitably trigger these sensors.

These sensors may be connected to some kind of alarm device or a self-destruct device.

Based on the boss's personality, it's highly likely that he has both.

After traveling for about a hundred meters along the narrowest, winding passage, the passage ahead gradually widened, like a funnel.

Soon, a passageway, a little over a meter high and large enough for an adult to bend over and pass through, came into He Ao's view.

However, He Ao did not return to his normal human form, but remained at the entrance of the passage as a shadow.

He used his divine sense to scan the surroundings of the passage.

In this pitch-black cave, the power of divine sense can easily penetrate the rock and then discover the infrared sensor device embedded inside the rock.

The infrared light emitted by these sensors passed through the channel from various directions in a dense array. He Ao could not see these lights with his naked eye, but he could roughly deduce what the infrared light emitted by these sensors looked like based on their structure and location, and then build a model in his mind.

Long-term use of hyper memory has improved his memory and thinking abilities to a certain extent, enabling him to better process complex information and models.

A dense, overlapping grid of infrared light, composed of invisible energy, appeared in his mind.

The grid was denser than he had imagined; at its narrowest point, it was no wider than a baby's arm.

However, He Ao did not proceed directly, but waited for a while in front of the passage, about two minutes later...

Then, the infrared light in the entire channel changed, and a completely different infrared cross grid appeared in his field of vision.

After waiting for about six more minutes, the infrared grid changed five times, each time with a different interval.

This change appears to have been implemented using some kind of random algorithm.

Because the body shape changes when using the life-sustaining cloak, He Ao did not bring a mobile phone or other smart devices that could keep track of time when he came in.

However, by listening to his own heartbeat, he roughly determined that his current heart rate was around 90. Then, by working backward from his heart rate, he discovered that the intervals between changes in the infrared grid were all multiples of 5 seconds. In other words, the smallest unit of this random number might be '5'.

So after the next change in the infrared network, the grid will likely remain unchanged for the first five seconds.

He Ao only needs to seize these five seconds to get through this passage.

He would then be able to go deeper without triggering an alarm.

He Ao wasn't actually afraid of the damage to his body caused by triggering the alarm. With his current physical condition, few objects could harm him, and what was coming at this moment wasn't his physical body.

However, he was somewhat worried that the 'boss' might have placed some kind of trigger-based self-destruct device in the deepest part of the space, where the central processing unit might be located.

The boss is very likely to do things like, "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it."

He Ao maintained the structure of the black shadow and used his divine sense to scan the entire dark passage. The passage was about twenty meters long, and the infrared network inside was very dense.

His figure transformed into a streak of black light and entered the passage.

Throughout the passage, he struggled to find the wider grid openings he could pass through, and carefully controlled his body to avoid touching the infrared rays that were invisible in the void but actually existed.

Several times he had to forcefully change his body shape so that he could barely squeeze through the flat, narrow passage.

Five seconds felt longer than an hour.

However, he still managed to pass through the passage in five seconds, and almost the instant he passed through, the structure of the infrared device in the passage changed instantly.

The interval this time is five seconds.

He looked back and continued forward. Ahead was still a narrow passage, seemingly only wide enough for a child to pass through.

There were many trigger mechanisms in this passage, but He Ao easily avoided them all.

Soon, he arrived at a narrow but normally high porch space.

A metal door stands at the deepest part of this porch.

He Ao scanned the area with his divine sense and found that the porch was indeed a normal porch space without any traps or mechanisms.

Then he deactivated the life-saving cloak's power, returned to his original physical state, and walked step by step to the metal door.

He was now taller and thinner than before.

This is a side effect of using the Life-Supplement Cloak; after changing form, it affects a portion of the normal body.

The structure may change, but as long as the overall structure is not altered too much, the body will gradually return to its original state over time.

He Ao focused his gaze on the metal door in front of him.

This metal door has a handle.

He Ao scanned the metal door with his divine sense and found that the internal locking mechanism was a simple mechanical lock. There was a mechanical keyhole above the door handle. Inserting the key and turning the door handle should open the door.

There were no sensors on the door lock, but He Ao was able to figure out the internal structure of the lock with his divine sense. It was actually very easy to make a master key; he could just modify the handle of the metal zipper pull on his body.

Generally speaking, the flexibility of this type of metal handle is quite good; it can be easily adjusted by pulling or rubbing it slightly.

However, He Ao did not immediately make a master key. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the corner in front of the door.

His fingers groped on the ground, then he slowly picked up the corpse of a small, dead insect.

The insect's entire body was charred black, and He Ao crushed it to dust with a gentle pinch of his fingers.

It's burnt.

He Ao looked up at the metal door in front of him.

His divine sense swept around and found the corpse of a small insect among a pile of rubble. The corpse was not completely charred and still contained some moisture.

He flicked his finger, sending the insect's corpse flying toward the metal door.

Shila-

A crisp sound, accompanied by specks of orange-yellow firelight, appeared in the silent darkness.

The insect's body seemed to crackle with tiny arcs of electricity, which then turned into a pale yellow flame, scorching its entire body.

Sure enough, the metal door was electrified.

That's why there are no electronic sensors on the door, only a simple mechanical lock.

However, this door should be connected to a sensitive resistance sensor. If a large animal from the outside comes into contact with this door without insulation protection, the current will flow through the animal's body, causing a change in the resistance of the entire circuit, and the sensor will naturally trigger an alarm.

The 'boss' is still the same old dog.

He Ao withdrew his gaze.

Even with his divine sense, which is a kind of 'clairvoyance' ability, he could still be tricked if he wasn't careful.

Once you know the boss's methods, the rest isn't difficult. There are many ways to deal with high voltage; you just need to find a suitable insulator.

He Ao's gaze shifted to the rocky passage behind him.

Most rocks are good insulators and hard enough to move the mechanical structure inside a lock.

However, if the rock has a high metal content, it may lose its insulating effect.

He Ao turned around, found a dry rock, inserted his fingers directly into the rock, avoiding the sensors placed inside, and carefully pried off a small piece of solid rock.

He then searched the ground again and found an unburnt insect carcass. He walked to the door, leaned the insect against the rock, and then released the rock, letting it fall onto the metal door.

There was no discharge behavior.

He Ao stretched out his finger and quickly touched the rock, but did not feel any electric shock.

It appears to have excellent insulation properties.

Then he picked up the rock and broke it in two.
