Just a magical girl who picks up trash

With such a stunned and curious expression, Red Ponytail immediately took the lead and walked outside.

"Whoo~~~"

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the intense desert heat wave hit him in the face. For a moment, Red Ponytail felt a familiar scene, and at the same time, he was almost blown down by the rolling wind.

Outside the elevator, at this moment, it was no longer the futuristic and technological steel city scene like the previous mechanical city. On the contrary, what appeared in front of Red Ponytail was a vast and endless golden desert. Occasionally, one could see desert plants thriving under the scorching sun above their heads.

Weapons manufacturing factory, desert city Giles!

This is the name of this city. As the name suggests, after walking for about a few minutes, the steel city that looked like a huge turtle shell in the vast wind and sand appeared in front of her.

Billowing smoke continuously gushed out from it, accompanied by the seemingly ubiquitous sound of gears and machinery colliding. As his eyes were shocked by the huge khaki city before him, Qiqi on the side bowed slightly to the red ponytail as if showing off an interesting toy, and smiled sideways:

"Well, my dear little guest, we have arrived at your destination, the weapons manufacturing factory. If you don't mind, please let me show you around!"

"Well... since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll reluctantly accept your invitation... and take my maid with me as you take a look around!"

"Well, that's great!"

"(Tilts head)...Maid?"

"Ahem, I was just kidding, Liuli, don't take it seriously!"

71. I feel like I’ve been cheated

(It's already 2.6 million words without me noticing. It seems I should also think about the ending plot... Of course, there is no problem in persisting until at least 3 million words. Xiaoyu's patience (and ability to go off topic) is still very sufficient!)

The weapons manufacturing plant was huge, incredibly large... From the outside, it looked like a tortoise shell, a gigantic metropolis rising from the boundless desert. Only after entering it did Red Ponytail clearly understand what the other party meant by "large"...

Designed like a terraced field, in the center is a large square the size of three football fields. From this square, one can clearly see elevator-like ladders placed in all directions. Where those elevators connect, there are layers of spacious floors that look like they are filled with a futuristic metallic texture.

At the same time, with people coming and going, or various mechanical life forms walking around, although everyone seems to be very busy, the scene presents a certain feeling... like a busy shopping mall.

“What a lively atmosphere!”

She seemed to be saying this with some sigh, while Qiqi beside her had already introduced her familiarly:

"Well~~ After all, it's wartime now, and the supply of weapons is the most indispensable thing on the front line. Therefore, this place is undoubtedly the most peripheral and prosperous area among the current mechanical planets!"

By the way, the city where Red Ponytail lived or was born was named Newborn City. It is the place where the core structure of mechanical life forms and the main brain are placed. It is the real core of the planet and one of the most important cities on this planet!

"Each floor here has different functions and manufactures different weapons. If you want to equip yourself with weapons, you can edit them using the database and then rush to the floor you want to go to to manufacture weapons!"

After all, the battle time causes great damage to weapons. Some weapons need to be replenished due to various reasons when defending against the silver in space, and some new bodies need basic weapons, etc., which created such an atmosphere; and while talking, the three of them had actually boarded a ladder, and did not stay on a certain floor for a long time, but went directly to the roof.

"Xiaobai, you want a custom weapon, right? In that case, you need to come to the top floor. This is where custom weapons are made!"

Because mechanical life forms have a great demand for weapons, although they are divided into many categories and types, in fact, when it comes to weapons, there are only a few simple and clear types. Therefore, in terms of weapon selection, the main brain only sets up a few different categories and places them on different floors. Basically, you only need to go and register to receive them.

However, the aspect of customized weapons is obviously much quieter. After all, with the database as a trump card, each new machine will almost immediately list its best weapons based on the data comparison in the database. In this case, the old model will be directly assembled, and naturally there will be no idea of ​​customized weapons.

It is only when the Red Ponytail idea is so different and the fighting style is so different that it is necessary to customize the weapons!

Just like the design of a pyramid... Although it cannot be seen from the outside, when the ladder reaches the top floor, it undoubtedly gives Red Ponytail a feeling.

As for the reason, she was down to earth at this moment. She only needed to lower her head slightly to instantly see clearly beneath the transparent floor beneath her feet. From a distance, the first floor hall looked like a small plate... Could the so-called top floor really be directly above the square?!

Thinking of this, she almost subconsciously reached out her hand to cover the hem of her red and white dress to prevent her private parts from being exposed. However, seeing that Liuli and Qiqi seemed to be indifferent, Red Ponytail immediately remembered the scene of the teleportation array.

This should be some kind of reflective glass!

Thinking this in her heart, Red Ponytail, who was slightly relieved, immediately looked around and asked with some doubt:

"So... didn't they say it was a weapons customization factory? Where are the weapons? I haven't seen any weapons since the beginning!"

Leaving aside the lobby on the first floor, the mechanical life forms coming and going had probably already been put into the space box. However, after taking the ladder to the top floor, Red Ponytail found that there was no trace of any factory, forging table or even weapons around her.

All I could see was a room as big as half a football field. Rows of huge nutrient tanks like pillars stood in all directions. They seemed irregular, but every distance seemed to be placed just right. Below them was something that looked very sophisticated. At first, Red Ponytail thought that some powerful weapons were placed inside.

However, when I looked closer, I found that they were just tiny dots of light that looked like fireflies... no, they were even smaller than that.

"It's right in front of us!"

The one who answered Red Ponytail was Qiqi who was standing beside her. The next second after she answered, Red Ponytail felt as if she was picked up and gently placed in front of a random huge culture tank. In front of her were turned-on electronic instruments. In one of them, an electronic helmet that seemed to be connected to countless tubes was quietly sitting there.

"..."

I feel like I have understood what so-called customized weapons are!

As expected, just as the red-ponytailed girl was looking at the helmet in front of her, a white hand had already taken it out without hesitation, and then directly placed it on the red-ponytailed girl's forehead. After covering her entire forehead and most of her face, he smiled at her and said:

"Okay, don't be nervous. You'll enter the virtual space later and build the weapon style and functions you need. The factory will take care of the rest... Don't worry, I won't do anything strange to you while you're making weapons!"

She said so, but the red-tailed girl couldn't help but twitched her lips and said without thinking:

"No, I was quite relieved at first, but now that you say that, I'm a little worried!"

As she said this, before Red Ponytail could take off her helmet and glare at Qiqi, she felt extremely sleepy the next second, and then she fell asleep little by little...

"Okay, now all I have to do is wait quietly for Xiaobai to wake up. As for now~~"

Looking at the girl with red ponytail who seemed to be sleeping soundly, Qiqi suddenly showed an expression on her face that could be said to be obscene and cute. She immediately wanted to stretch out her evil hand towards the girl in front of her, but just when she was halfway, another white hand suddenly grabbed her.

"Ugh?"

When he turned around, it was none other than Liuli, and looking at the confused look on her face... it seemed that she was also curious about why he had grabbed Qiqi.

"Hoho~~That's quite interesting!"

72. Reconnaissance

"Tianling, tell me what's going on!"

"Alright, dispatch one hundred units of the Shumagia Force, divided into ten teams. Currently, the first team (the reconnaissance team) is still observing the Alliance's battle, and it seems they have the upper hand!"

"The second team (reconnaissance team) has currently found and marked one hundred and thirty-two temporary bases of the Sand Bandits!"

"Teams 3 to 9 are currently clearing these marked locations, and the current progress is 73%!"

"Team Ten is on standby, invisible and on standby!"

After the report was completed, Yu Yuan in front of the light curtain nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad, he doesn't look injured. He is indeed the gem of our Tianyu City!"

With words of sighs and pride, of course Yu Yuan himself was not idle either. After listening to Tian Ling's report, he jumped down from the stone he was sitting on, and with a wave of his hand, several cards appeared in his hand.

"Clearing the bandits seems to be no problem. The next thing is the strange beasts gathered in that unknown area... Although we will have intelligence from the alliance by then, I prefer to act alone!"

As he said this, the card in his hand slid slightly through the crack in the center of the heart-shaped belt that had appeared at his waist. The next second, cursors like playing cards suddenly appeared on all sides of Yu Yuan, and roars came from them.

"The lizard (2 of Spades), the lion (3 of Spades), and the wild boar (4 of Spades) are responsible for physical strength, the frog (3 of Diamonds), the woodpecker (4 of Diamonds), and the chameleon (10 of Diamonds) are responsible for reconnaissance, and the plant (7 of Hearts) is responsible for command... That should be enough!"

Talking to himself or as if giving some kind of order, the next second after Yu Yuan finished speaking, a group of strange-looking figures slowly walked out from among them, and at the same time set their eyes on Yu Yuan. Although they did not speak, the low growls they made were undoubtedly full of respect.

"Let's explore the unknown territory. Using the identity of a 'strange beast' as a cover should be enough to bypass the alien beast army. If possible, it's best to observe other changes around the ruins in advance. I don't want anything unexpected to happen during this search for my sister!"

She has been separated from her sister for a long time. As Yu Huan's system elf, this is obviously a very disqualifying thing for Yu Yuan. Therefore, although she did not show it on the surface, she couldn't help but feel a little impatient in her heart.

A total of seven undead beasts were summoned. Their appearance was similar to those strange beasts in the desert, and they were undoubtedly the most suitable ones to be sent there. In addition, the undead beasts were conceptual entities in the setting themselves, and one was equivalent to an entire race, so there was no need to worry about death. If possible, Yu Yuan even wanted them to help explore the ruins first.

"Roar~~"

After receiving the order, the undead beasts immediately began to move. Some of them bent down and ran towards the vast desert like wild beasts, some transformed into real plants and disappeared in the desert, and some gradually disappeared like camouflage... After each of them left in their own way, Yu Yuan here finished the action at hand, looked at the clear sky above his head, and immediately walked silently in one direction.

That was not the way back to the base. Although she had completed her mission and could go back at any time, it was obvious that Yu Yuan had other purposes. As for what it was... it was a secret!

"As you said, there are indeed ruins that have appeared in the ruins world. Not long ago, Tianyu City mobilized some people from the Jing Organization and seemed to be preparing to go there together!"

"Yeah, I know, Kuanglong told me!"

"So…are we going?"

"...Forget it. After all, if 'she' goes, then we don't have to worry about getting my sister out safely. Let's just keep hunting down Shirogane's clone... Speaking of which, I've been thinking lately..."

"what?"

"Let's not even mention how many worlds Silver had devoured before I traveled to this world. Even with our efforts to stop it over the past hundred years, there must have been at least a dozen worlds completely devoured by Silver, right?"

"According to statistics... it's almost close to a hundred!"

"So... with all this energy and silver, where exactly is it hidden? What is it used for? It can't possibly be used to create clones! And most importantly..."

Yu turned around and looked at Zero, who was also looking thoughtful, and suddenly asked a question that she had been very curious about for a long time:

"As something that exists from the same 'origin' as the system, what exactly is its purpose, or rather, its 'mission' to collect the essence of the world through various methods?!"

She used to think that Baiyin's goal was to devour the world. This was her nature and it was natural. However, since she met Yuhuan, she always felt that some things seemed to be different in some aspects. The most important thing was that when Yuhuan was Amy, although she might not have taken it seriously at the time, Yu remembered that she once said that she had a dream.

A dream about three objects that seemed to have a mission and left the destroyed world after it was destroyed!

what is that?

In fact, Yu obviously already had some guesses about this, but it was a pity that the clues were not complete yet. When she was summoned by her sister a thousand years ago, it seemed that she had a lot of information, but now because she could not contact Yu Huan, she could only guess.

"I always feel like I'm missing some crucial clues, and the gears aren't meshing together enough!"

As he muttered to himself, Ling fell into silence as he looked at Yu who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"That child isn't dead... he's back!"

It was impossible to hide Yu Huan's affairs from her after all. After all, he was the high priest of the Mirror Organization. Although she didn't know where Yu Huan had gone before, judging from his attitude of not concealing anything during this period, it was obvious that he had some relationship with Bai Yin.

But come to think of it, with such power, it is only natural that he would be related to silver, but...

"She...really won't harm the Saint?"

Although she is the Saint's sister, and although she is the one whom the Saint relies on wholeheartedly, in terms of jealousy, envy, and stance, it is obvious that Zero still has a skeptical attitude towards Yuhuan's holder.

Especially now that Yuhuan’s power and strength have gradually taken shape!

73. Once

Putting aside the threat of Zero, under Yu's leadership during this period, the two have already eliminated the clone of Silver that was living in the desert ruins. Now, even with their strength, they can't find many traces of Silver. They have been wandering in the ruins for more than ten days, but they have gained nothing.

"There really isn't anything left... This is a bit troublesome!"

The sound of talking to himself came out of Yu's mouth, which made Ling behind him a little confused:

"All the clones have been destroyed. As long as we find the main body, we can defeat Baiyin. Isn't this a good thing?"

She asked this, but Yu shook his head slightly, rejecting Zero's overly idealistic idea:

"I've said before that while Baiyin's clones are powerful and possess immense energy, they're clearly not on the same level as the World Origin... In other words, these are merely clones created by Baiyin using her own energy... or rather, they're a kind of decoy, intended to trick us into thinking she's devouring the World Origin in order to create these nearly inexhaustible clones."

However, Yu was obviously very concerned about what happened before. After using the system to conduct precise analysis, he also found many doubts. He even had some guesses about the connection between his system and Baiyin. But because of this, the mysteries became more and more.

"Ah~~ It's a pity that my system isn't the 'main body', my sister's is. And Yuanyuan's current level is still a little low after all. Otherwise, I should be able to know more!"

Her system and Yu Huan's system are of the same lineage, or in other words, their systems are actually one and the same, and the person this system has been bound to from the very beginning is actually Yu Huan... or rather, her previous life. It's a pity that Yu Huan in her previous life died young due to a defect in her soul, so the system also fell into a dormant state in her body.

However, it happened at the right time. In this world, the rampant spread of silver had reached a point where it was about to overthrow the main world. In this critical moment, the system could only split itself into two. One part continued to protect and repair Yu Huan's damaged soul, while the other part connected with Yu Yuan, who was a relative of Yu Huan, and brought him into this world.

Strictly speaking, Yu Yuan a hundred years ago was like a substitute for Yu Huan, and the system she controlled was not so much the same as Yu Huan, but rather a mirror image created by the system itself. This was also the fundamental reason why Ling's attempt to steal the system a hundred years ago ended in failure.

She only took away some of the permissions of the mirror system. As long as the main body is still there, it is naturally impossible for her to take away all of it.

After shaking his head gently to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind that were no longer a big deal, Yu Yuan looked at the completely destroyed silver wreckage in front of him and fell into deep thought.

She used to think that Silver devoured the world out of some kind of mentality similar to that of a demon king who would destroy the world... But it was not until now that she realized that this was reality. Reality was not a game, and destroying the world would not bring any benefits to the "demon king". Therefore, Silver must have a purpose for being so active in devouring the origins of various worlds.

And this target system... Yu Yuan must know the real system, but unfortunately, because she was separated from Yu Huan, she has not upgraded it for a long time, so the permissions she knows now are very limited, so the clues can only be implemented by relying on guesswork.

"Forget it, don't think about it for now!"

No matter how hard he thought, he had no clear clue. Finally, he shook his head and stopped thinking for the time being. He turned and glanced at the silver wreckage below. After thinking for a while, he spoke decisively:

"Forget it, I guess this guy has gone into hiding again. My sister seems to be in some trouble... Anyway, I have nothing to do. After all, I am the Saint of the Mirror Organization, so... I'll go and join in!"

"Continental United Conference!"

As he said this, Zero behind him didn't object, but he showed a hesitant expression:

"Do you really want to join? You know, the Mirror Organization is..."

Terrorist organizations and the like, it was obvious that Zero still had some self-awareness, but before he could finish his words, Yu immediately rolled his eyes:

"Whose fault do you think this is? You've ruined an organization that was founded to save the world..."

Her original purpose in taking over the dilapidated Mirror Organization was to use it to train Rangers and Guardians to deal with the encroachment of the Silver Clones in various worlds. Unfortunately, as a boss in her previous life, although she was quite talented in management, being responsible for a large force that guarded various worlds was obviously still a headache.
