That's amazing survival skills!

Chapter 82 Sleeping!

"According to your logic, I could just participate in the gambling at the underground casino, win, and have him get me an ID card, right?" His gaze swept over the old man in metal before him. "Why let you, the middleman, make a profit again?"

"This is different." The old man in metal was oiling his prosthetic leg. "For outsiders like you, without an ID card to enter the underground casino and without five wins, they won't even give you a second glance."

"Furthermore, to get an identity card, you need at least ten consecutive wins."

"Looks like this underground casino is pretty shady," Lin Yuan said with a smile, stroking his spear.

"What do you think?" The old man with the metal body closed the gas tank on his prosthetic leg. "You think underground casinos are some kind of charity?"

The old man with the metal frame glanced at the four young faces.

"Young faces like yours, without connections to get you in, you'll just get taken advantage of!"

"We can trade." Lin Yuan looked at the old man with metal and extended his palm. "But you have to get us an identity token first."

"no problem."

The old man with the metal prosthetic arm extended his hand and shook hands with the young man in front of him.

But as soon as the hand grasped it, the prosthetic fingers made a creaking metallic sound. The sound was not the sound of metal colliding, but the sound of being clamped by a huge hydraulic clamp!

The old man's expression changed slightly; this was clearly a show of force from the young man before him!

"Where is that steel heart?" Lin Yuan smiled as she released the other person's prosthetic limb.

With his current defensive capabilities, he could squeeze this inferior metal without feeling any pain from the pressure on his skin. If he wanted, he could crush the prosthetic limb!

"What do you need that thing for?" the old man with the metal body asked cautiously.

"Of course I have my uses." Lin Yuan glanced at his nervous expression. "As for what those uses are, that's not something you should be concerned about."

"The Iron Heart is actually very simple, just buy it."

"Um?"

Just buy it?!

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded. She had been prepared to snatch it, but now she was being told that she could just buy it with money?

"But it's a bit expensive." The old man with the metal body pointed to his modified prosthetic limbs. "This body cost me three thousand mechanical points, and the lowest-grade mechanical heart costs three thousand each."

How much can an underground gambling den earn in one go?

One costs 3,000, and the minimum is 20, which is 60,000 points.

This is no different from robbery, except the method of robbery has changed.

This steel city turned around and robbed them!

"Winning a match usually earns you around 100 points," the old metal man said. "But if you also place bets, then it depends on the odds."

"OK."

"You can stay here for now. I'll get you your identification documents tomorrow." The old man in metal walked over and opened a door. "This will be your living quarters from now on."

The room inside wasn't very big, only about ten square meters.

There was only one large bed, placed against the two walls. The bedding was a bit old, but it was still reasonably clean.

As for food?

Judging from the old man's appearance, he didn't seem to be able to provide food, so they could only rely on the remaining bread to fill their stomachs.

Night gradually fell.

Bang bang bang!

A loud banging sound came from outside the door.

The four men instantly became alert, gripping their weapons tightly in their hands.

"Shh, don't make a move yet, I'll handle this." The old man in metal said, taking out a sphere from behind his back, turning on the switch on it, and then walking towards the door.

A fan-shaped blue optical disc drive instantly enveloped them.

The noise of the front door opening was quite loud.

[Routine inspection!]

A cold, mechanical sound rang out, followed by muffled thumping footsteps approaching from inside the room.

The door was pushed open again.

The cold, metallic policeman stood in the doorway, gun in hand, the green light emanating from his head sweeping across the room.

All four held their breath, gripping their spears tightly in their palms. If the opponent dared to raise their spears, the spears would pierce their mechanical throats and take their heads in the next second.

A green light swept across every corner of the room, and the robotic policeman, gun in hand, pushed open another door, performing the same action as before.

No abnormalities were found.

The robotic policeman left with his gun, and as the old man in metal closed his door, a heavy knocking sounded from the house across the street.

"It's alright now." The old man with the metal body retrieved the sphere and closed the door behind him.

"You've got some skills." Lin Yuan sheathed his spear and looked with interest at the metal sphere in the old man's hand.

This thing can block the other party's scanning, so it must be a pretty good item.

If we have this, wouldn't it save us 60,000 points if we went to get the Heart of Steel?

The old man put the metal ball back and glanced at Lin Yuan, whose eyes were burning with desire. "Don't even think about it. This thing can only fool this kind of basic scan. If it's upgraded, it won't be able to fool anyone."

"Moreover, a store that sells Heart of Steel is not as simple as you think."

"There are dedicated guards there, plus plasma pulses and fully automated defense robots. With your current weapons, you can be easily cut to pieces by the sharp scythes of the fully automated defense robots."

"I'm just a little curious," Lin Yuan explained with a smile, "Do I look like the kind of person who robs and plunders?"

"I don't know you," the old man with the metal pointed at Lin Yuan, "but the look in your eyes just now was no different from those idiots who came before."

"You mean... before?"

The old man with the metal nodded. "You think you're the first group? A group came before, otherwise why would I do business with you?"

"Could you elaborate?"

The group of people they were referring to as "the previous group" were likely the survivors from the same group as the woman in red.

If you want to get the information from the previous batch, this old man in front of you seems like a good choice!

"Sure," the old man with the metal body replied with a smile, extending his palm. "Ten thousand mechanical points, and I'll tell you."

"Never mind then."

"Alright, you guys get some rest. I'll take you to the underground casino tomorrow night. I hope you won't disappoint me."

The four of them looked at the bed, which wasn't very clean.

Lin Yuan simply lay down in the very corner, patted the empty space next to her, and asked, "Who's going to sleep with me?"

Han Miao pouted and went to sleep in the outermost area, saying, "Who wants to sleep with a jerk like you?"

Wang Xi smiled and lay down next to Han Miao, leaving the remaining space for Gu Siyu.

Look at the area in the middle that is right next to the edge of the forest.

Gu Siyu took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, then opened them again, lying flat and shifting her body towards Wang Xi.

"Alright, time for bed."

[Daily settlement in progress...]

You entered the Steel City, killed seven low-level mechanical creatures, and hid in the room of a cyborg.

Overall rating: 3

[Reward: None]

Lin Yuan, who was still awake, was speechless upon hearing the broadcast.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the window above Lin Yuan's face. Just as he was about to rub his eyes, he pinched his fingers and felt a fluffy, soft, and well-fermented steamed bun in his hand.

"Hmm~"

The soft murmur began.

Lin Yuan was immediately jolted awake by the faint drowsiness that had just appeared. She opened her eyes and looked down at the person in her arms.

Wang Xi!

What the hell!

Just as Lin Yuan was about to pull her hand back, she felt someone playing tricks on her, and Wang Xi opened her eyes in a daze.

With her head tucked in, she saw the large hand landing on her. The hand was heavy, pressing down on her chest and making it hard for her to breathe. She froze for a moment, then quickly looked up and met Lin Yuan's eyes. Her mind was buzzing.

"Um, if I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

Wang Xi took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel the rise and fall of his chest with his palm, and his fingers mischievously squeezed it.

Wang Xi's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She forcefully slapped away the troublesome hand and quickly sat up.

Snapped!

The noise was loud and woke up the other two who were sleeping. In their groggy state, they saw Wang Xi sitting up, swinging her arms back to them as if she was tidying her clothes.

The rustling sound was exceptionally clear.

Han Miao and Gu Siyu sat up abruptly. As soon as they poked their heads over, they saw that Wang Xi had already straightened her disheveled clothes, her face as red as a monkey's bottom.

"Were you taken advantage of?" Gu Siyu whispered in her ear.

Wang Xi felt a tingling sensation near her ear, took a deep breath, and said, "Nothing of the sort."
