Give Star Iron a little MC shock

"It's normal to get the password wrong!"

Seele frowned and asked, "Is there any other way?"

Xing He pulled out a pickaxe: "Leave it to me. You think a mere iron gate can stop me?"

When Dan Heng saw Xing He take out a pickaxe, he quickly stopped him, saying, "Xing He, don't do anything reckless. We're here for friendly exchanges, not for you to tear down someone's door and provoke them."

Xing He gave him a reassuring look.

Putting aside the fact that he didn't intend to break through the door directly, even if he did, Xing He could have easily lowered the door after everyone had gone in!

“I didn’t go to tear down the door. I just glanced over and saw that Schwarz was inside the house, and there were pumpkins in the field next to the house.”

"Let me dig a hole and sneak over to steal some vegetables."

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Negotiations Break Down, Preparations for Action

Xing He, holding a pickaxe, chiseled a hole in front of the gate right in front of the group and crawled inside.

Watching Xing He sneak into the mansion like a mole through a large hole, Xi'er couldn't help but turn to Dan Heng and ask, "Aren't we going in together? That way, Xing He won't have to open the door for us, right?"

Dan Heng shook his head: "Our purpose in coming here is not to clash with Schwarz. The best option is to stand outside and wait while helping Xing He attract Schwarz's attention."

"OK then."

In the back garden of the mansion, a white-haired girl dressed in red, barefoot on the ground, hummed a cheerful tune as she watered the vegetables in the field.

"Grow up quickly!"

Clara smiled and knelt down in front of a pumpkin, gently stroking it.

Suddenly, Clara faintly heard a rustling sound coming from the soil beneath her feet.

Before she could react, the soil beneath her feet suddenly vanished, and Clara only had time to let out a cry of surprise before falling into the hole.

Clara closed her eyes in fear at the feeling of falling rapidly, but after a while, the pain did not come from her back. Instead, she felt as if she had fallen into a warm embrace.

Clara opened her eyes shakily and saw Xing He, with gray hair and golden eyes, looking down at her.

"Thank you, thank you big brother."

Clara gave Xing He a sweet smile, but the next second Xing He casually tossed her to the ground.

"Ouch."

Clara rubbed her sore bottom, feeling a little aggrieved. When she looked up at Xing He, she found that he had already left the cave using the blocks as stepping stones.

Upon reaching the ground, Xing He saw the vegetable garden full of vegetables and immediately whistled happily.

"Not bad, it's finally starting to look like a village."

Xing He first took out an axe and chopped down several pumpkins next to him, then put them into his backpack. Immediately afterward, he swung his fist and collected all the vegetables in his field of vision into his backpack.

Fortunately, the vegetables in this garden were all familiar ones, such as wheat, carrots, and potatoes; there were no strange vegetables growing there.

While Xing He was still engrossed in harvesting vegetables, Clara struggled to crawl out of the hole in the ground and saw Xing He wreaking havoc on her vegetable patch.

"that..."

Clara, seeing such an unapproachable stranger for the first time, clenched her small hands in front of her with a hint of timidity.

"Big brother? Are you hungry?"

Xing He turned around when he heard the noise, and seeing Clara's petite figure and polite words, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

In the past, if he stole vegetables in front of the villagers, they would only grumble and complain. Even if the other party tried to harm him, he would fight back without fear. At worst, he would slaughter the village and then find the next one.

But this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

Clara, seeing that Xing He remained silent, mistakenly assumed that he was genuinely hungry, which was why he had no choice but to sneak in to steal vegetables.

"Big brother, if you're really hungry, then take these vegetables first. Clara is fine. But could you leave the seeds behind? Otherwise, the land here won't be able to grow vegetables in the future, and if you get hungry again, there won't be any vegetables left for you."

Clara looked timid, as if she were pleading.

Xing He immediately clutched his chest, feeling his conscience pricked.

"Okay, I'll plant it for you."

The other party only asked him to replant the land, and Xing He naturally wouldn't refuse, since he had plenty of extra seeds after harvesting the vegetables.

Xing He quickly replanted the soil, then glanced at Clara's bare feet, thought for a moment, and took out his workbench to make her a pair of iron boots.

"Here, take this as compensation."

Xing He handed the iron boots to Clara; such a polite and gentle little girl deserved four iron ingots from him.

"Huh? Is it for Clara?"

Clara took the iron boots from Xing He's hands, somewhat bewildered. She had never seen this style of shoe before.

Although Clara dislikes wearing shoes, she politely accepted them and thanked them.

"Thank you, big brother. Clara likes it very much."

"If you like it, then I'll be going now. I have a friend waiting for me to open the door."

"Open...open the door?"

"Of course, they're waiting for me to open your door."

Clara: ?

Just as Xing He was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that a marker on his minimap, marked with the name Schwarz, had suddenly flashed to his vicinity.

Immediately afterwards, a tall mechanical figure slowly emerged behind Clara. Its crimson single eye flashed after glancing at Xing He, and then it swung its iron fist at Xing He.

"Leave Clara!"

Xing He reacted quickly by blocking with his shield, but Schwarz's swift punch only made a dull thud when it hit the shield, and Xing He didn't even take a step back.

Seeing this, Schwarz immediately stepped back and shielded Clara behind him.

"Get out of here, Clara, this human is a huge threat."

Clara, only now recovering from the sudden exchange between the two, quickly explained to Schwarz, "Mr. Schwarz, please don't attack. This older brother is just hungry; he didn't hurt me."

Swallow's one eye flickered: "Analysis: Breaking into a private residence to steal food without the owner's permission constitutes a violation of the law; Conclusion: Arrest on the spot or kill."

Xing He wanted to take action immediately, but then he suddenly remembered what Dan Heng had said.

'We are here for friendly negotiations.'

"That Schwarzkopf guy, right? I'm here to negotiate!"

Swallow's one eye flashed again: "Hand over the food you stole, and I'll give you a chance to explain yourself for Clara's sake."

Xing He remained silent for a moment.

I'm sorry, Danheng, the negotiations have broken down.

Xing He took out a pumpkin and placed it on the ground, then made a pair of scissors and carved it.

"I'm sorry, it seems we'll have to fight first. Tell me, Schwarz, will you be defeated?"

Schwaro and Clara were completely baffled by Xing He's words, but Schwaro had already assumed a fighting stance, ready to strike at any moment.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Danheng's voice came.

He emerged from the burrow in the farmland, and together with March 7th and Seele, they crawled out of the burrow one after another.

They were still worried and decided to crawl in through a tunnel.

Seeing the tense standoff, Dan Heng quickly explained to Schwarzro in a deep voice, "Mr. Schwarzro, right? We just wanted to ask if you had any information about [Star Cores], we meant no harm, and I will compensate my companion for taking the food."

Schwarz turned to look at him: "Let's put the food issue aside for now. According to database analysis, the success rate of what you're trying to do is zero."

Schwarzschild's gaze slowly swept over the group.

"A Seele from the subterranean fire, and three unknown individuals, have departed. No one will be injured, otherwise..."

“You will all be punished.”

Chapter Forty: Help Me, Mr. Iron Puppet

"Then it seems there's no point in talking."

Seele was the first to grab the scythe and sling it over her shoulder, looking like she would immediately attack if Swallow dared to lift a finger.

Schwarz only glanced at her, his one eye flashing, when a roar sounded near the mansion, and a dozen automatons rushed in and surrounded them.

Seeing this, Dan Heng sighed helplessly and gripped the spear in his other hand.

"Xing He, San Yue, it seems we have no choice but to subdue them first."

"uniform?"

March 7th turned her head and glanced at the group of automatons that far outnumbered them, as well as the obviously difficult-to-deal-with Swaro.

"Are you sure you want us to subdue them under these circumstances? Destroying them all would already be quite an achievement!"

March 7th seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Xing He: "Xing He, where are the reinforcements you asked for!"

"Don't rush, let me send out reinforcements."

After Xing He removed the carved pumpkin from the ground, he took out a pre-prepared iron block and placed it in a T-shape in front of everyone.

Schwaro and Danheng looked at Xing He in confusion, wondering why he would build iron blocks at this time.

After arranging his body, Xing He looked at Schwarz and grinned, saying, "Swarz, your opponent isn't us."
