Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

"Okay, okay! After staying here for so long, it would be a pity to leave without participating in any celebration." Jiang Yan agreed very readily.

Jiang Yan certainly didn't think he was gifted enough to easily master such a divine shield. The pioneer who had successfully sealed the star core must have possessed a protective power no less powerful than his own. Furthermore, since they were both divine weapons of the same origin, wouldn't that make him the perfect forerunner?

The messy reception room was obviously not a good place for a tea party. In addition, Jiang Yan was so impatient to try out his new artifact. After a few pleasantries, he took Sylva's research notes on the shield and left Krippenburg with thanks.

After receiving so many benefits, Jiang Yan certainly felt embarrassed to go to the Silver Mane Iron Guard to help Bronya with her blood pressure and heart rate limit, but who could resist getting a magic weapon and not equipping it immediately to beat the wooden stakes?

He was so itchy that he walked around the entrance of Kripple Castle several times. Suddenly, he had an idea and got on the cable car without hesitation and headed straight to the downtown area.

It should be fine if I can't break the world, explore ancient ruins, or bully the automatic robots!

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 15 Team Action

The various ruins excavated in the lower city of Beloberg have always been a treasure hunting destination for adventurers, as most of them were left before the arrival of the cold wave.

After all, for Beloberg, whose technology has regressed greatly due to the cold wave, "a small screw in the old world is stronger than our armor" is not a joke. Even the automatic robots that Jiang Yan saw in the Silver Mane Iron Guard were mostly acquired by purchasing these "archaeological findings" and piecing them together, not to mention civilian tools and machinery. Finding a dormant automatic machine and becoming rich overnight is not a dream.

Of course, finding an automatic machine in defense mode without the corresponding electronic key and being torn to pieces alive is a more common outcome. Otherwise, the main force of the Silver Mane Iron Guards would have been replaced by a mechanical army long ago.

It just so happened that Jiang Yan had heard some time ago that miners had unearthed a huge underground relic while mining, so he chose this place as his training place without hesitation.

After all, he is now considered a strong man in Beloberg. If the world-ripping monsters are not counted, then only these ancient machines can serve as training.

However, a very realistic problem lies before Jiang Yan:

Even though he can stand on his own on the battlefield, exploring underground ruins is still not a task that can be accomplished by one person, no matter how strong he is.

You have to find someone to get a hurricane lantern!

You can't just carry the pickaxe and dig it yourself!

You have to find an old explorer as your guide!

Otherwise, if you accidentally dig and a landslide occurs and you are buried alive, wouldn’t that be an unjust death?

So Jiang Yan decided to join a team that was already established to explore the ruins, and experience the joy of leading a small account through the map.

After all, secretly exploring the ruins wasn't a safe move. If Silvermane Iron Guards or Earthfire discovered and reported them to the dungeon in Rock Town, Bronya would be in trouble again. So, why not wait for a teammate at the dungeon entrance?

I don't care about money, and I'm strong enough, so who would refuse such a big partner? I'm lucky enough not to ask them for a few thousand credits! Jiang Yan was confident that he would be able to join the team in no time.

However, it turned out that he was overthinking it. Jiang Yan stayed at the entrance of the ruins for a whole day, even wielding his shield and demonstrating his strength for half a day, but still no one paid any attention to him. In fact, many people even took a detour out of caution.

Having never been an adventurer before, he simply didn't understand that the stronger you are, the better.

Just kidding, who would dare to invite a powerful stranger on a quest like this, which could easily get them rich overnight? If they didn't find anything, that would be fine, but if they did, they'd probably kill and rob them right before their eyes.

Jiang Yan never expected that after destroying the ruins, he could still get full plate armor. Seeing that the entrance of the ruins was deserted, he could only sit on the ground and sulk.

At this moment, a wretched figure with blue hair suddenly appeared and came over:

"Hey, adventurer who looks so formidable, are you here looking for a teammate to explore the ruins? You've found the right person. With me by your side, you'll have a traveling merchant, a guide, an expert appraiser, a miner, and a conversation partner to cheer you up... How's that for you? A good deal, right?"

Seeing that someone finally started talking, Jiang Yan jumped up excitedly:

"Okay, how do we divide it? You decide!"

Jiang Yan was almost going crazy after finally getting a magic weapon but couldn't find any chance to test it in detail. If no one came, he would rush in with a shield in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand.

Of course the other person is a liar and doesn’t look like a good person, but does that matter?

I just need a guy who can carry a lantern and wield a pickaxe. As for how much share he wants to defraud, or even when he wants to backstab me to make it more difficult for me, it’s absolutely not important!

Even though he was a seasoned warrior, the blue-haired figure was taken aback by Jiang Yan's unpredictable reaction. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said tentatively:

"50/50 split, appraisal, no extra charge for sales channels, how about that?"

It was a figure that was outrageous, but Jiang Yan, who had an unlimited credit card, didn't care.

Up until now, the amount he'd spent had been extremely limited. He didn't even see the point in buying a killer weapon for such a small sum, but he didn't want to doubt the planning skills of a villainous sister who had blown up hundreds of planets with her tricks. If she said it would work, it would work sooner or later. Jiang Yan, who had never been able to defeat her since childhood and had always been humiliated by her, had every confidence in this.

"Okay, let's go." After saying that, Jiang Yan prepared to walk into the ruins.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, man, I don't even know your name."

"Ban Gaman" Jiang Yan is still upset about the tragedy that he encountered the gathering of slate armor even though he changed the world.

"Okay, Mr. Garman, in Rock Town, everyone calls me Uncle Cold Legs, or just Old Sambo. Let's get going. Old Sambo will tell you everything he knows."

As a large relic, the shallow area had naturally been explored long ago, and even every stone had been checked to see if it was solid. Under the guidance of Sangbo, Jiang Yan walked straight into the depths.

However, after only twenty minutes, Jiang Yan had a painful realization: even if it wasn't about money, teammates were not completely unimportant. At least it was important not to find a chatterbox.

This guy who calls himself "Old Sambo" is really talkative. From the moment he entered the ruins, he never stopped talking, saying "The beautiful feelings between people are developed through chatting."

"Mr. Garman, you're from the upper class, so you must have met the new Grand Guardian. What do you think? Do you think she's beautiful?"

"Mr. Garman, are you married? What's your ideal type?"

"Mr. Garman, do you know why the Grand Guardian's ceremonial attire is so cool? I heard the masters believe that this will freeze to death any unqualified Grand Guardians who don't have enough determination to protect. This ensures that every Grand Guardian ultimately elected is qualified."

"Mr. Garman, have you visited the newly opened museum? Do you know why only the portrait of the previous Grand Guardian is a group photo? Let me tell you, on the opening day, hundreds of miners from the Lower Town planned to spit on her portrait, but when they realized it was a group photo, they had no choice but to give up."

"Mr. Garman, have you heard? Recently, a remarkable figure has emerged from the Silver Mane Guards. They call him 'Iron Wall'. Have you met him?"

"Mr. Garman..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Yan finally couldn't help but interrupt him.

"I mean..." Sambo was still trying to explain.

"I said shut up!" Jiang Yan poured protective power into the shield and directed the attack of the automatic robot that suddenly attacked from the shadows onto the shield. He swung the shield with his backhand and skillfully destroyed the opponent's core chip in the chest, paralyzing it on the ground instantly.

Only then did Jiang Yan say the second half of his sentence:

"Don't worry about the enemy, just focus on leading the way."

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 16 Fun People and Fun

It must be said that having a guide really saved a lot of trouble. At least this familiar man who called himself "Old Sambo" said it was a dangerous place. After Jiang Yan rushed in excitedly, he encountered the enemy as he wished and soon conducted a detailed test of the shield in his hand.

Even without any power injected into it, this shield was incredibly hard. Jiang Yan deliberately blocked a volley from the Iron Wolf's giant blade head-on, and not even a scratch remained on the shield's surface.

However, the shield's strength clearly wasn't its sturdy material. By concentrating a powerful protective force, the shield would shimmer with golden light and generate a powerful invisible force field on its surface that could withstand all energy and momentum attacks.

Even more terrifying, when the force field is activated, a powerful mysterious force absorbs and deflects everything in the direction of the shield. This force isn't electromagnetic, nor is it physical wind, but it's undoubtedly real and difficult to avoid. Its only drawback is its high energy consumption. If you don't want to be drained quickly, you'll mostly just be able to deflect incoming attacks, rather than simply sucking enemies in and flattening them with the shield.

Jiang Yan, who had been using a copycat force field giant shield, found it harder to suppress his excitement the more he tested it.

If Jiang Yan still didn't understand the effect of what he had in his hand, it would be a shame for his two months of hard work in searching for miracles.

The solidity of the Tianhui Star Wall, the force field of the Sub-Space Crystal Wall, the suction force of the Great Attraction Base... This shield must have come from a city builder at the level of a Protector! Even if it was just a fragment of a Star God's creation, it was still a Star God miracle, the ultimate goal he had dreamed of coming to this planet!

Jiang Yan couldn't contain his joy at winning the grand prize. He secretly tapped his scabbard with his fingertips and muttered silently:

"Wake up, wake up, is it really okay for me to hold this thing?"

Although he knew that if there was really a problem, his sister would have been furious in the scabbard, but it didn't stop Jiang Yan from waking her up. He had no other intentions, just to chat with her. "How did you know I got a magic weapon?"

"Why, do you want me to burn it to ashes so that you, Xiao Jiang, can understand this small stone more thoroughly?" As expected, the familiar sweet voice rang directly from the bottom of my heart.

Unfortunately, Tingyun, who had kept his promise since arriving at Beloberg and had done nothing but eat and watch shows, did not give Jiang Yan any chance to show off. One sentence frightened him so much that he subconsciously hugged his precious shield tightly:

"No, no, sister, just continue to watch me perform."

It was not until he heard a series of laughter from people who had successfully teased him that Jiang Yan realized that the other party could not have done that. Just as he was about to get back at them, the blue-haired figure behind him had already approached him.

"Hey, Mr. Garman, we're here to look for treasure, not to dismantle robots. You can't just go where I say it's dangerous! If it had been any more dangerous just now, we would have been dug out by others."

In front of his teammates, who had no time to die and were focused on flashing forward to fight five people alone, all his calculations were meaningless. No matter how many ideas he had before, the only thing left in Sambo's mind now was to trick this spirited young man back to the surface first, and then think about how to have fun.

However, his rare sincerity was not appreciated by the other party:

"But the most valuable things here are these ancient mechas. Instead of going through all the trouble of digging for ancient relics, appraising them, and finding a market, how can we just dismantle them and make quick money? Follow me, we'll land a big order directly with the Silver Mane Iron Guard!"

Jiang Yan's self-righteous rhetoric of "Why would a mouse steal cheese? Bad habit! Cats can eat it too!" might have been abstract, but facing Jiang Yan's overwhelming strength, Sambo couldn't find any reason to refute it. He could only continue to follow the young man, who was so intent on swinging his shield, with a gloomy face, trying to find some topic to distract his wild heart.

"Hey, buddy, where did you get this ancient relic?" Sangbo rubbed his hands and asked in a familiar and familiar manner, pretending to be very fond of it.

"It's a gift for gaining admiration on the battlefield." Jiang Yan, who was being attacked by several ancient mechas while practicing the timing of opening the super-mini version of the sub-space crystal wall, answered casually.

Of course, he couldn't keep the power in the shield activated during the battle, but according to Sylva's idea, by instantly opening and closing the force field at critical moments to deflect and rebound the opponent's power, it was still enough to easily change the situation of the battle.

However, it is obvious that if one does not practice a lot to estimate the cost-effectiveness of this skill with an astonishing "starting price", it is easy to lead to two tragic outcomes: although the skill blocks the attack, it will suffer a huge loss in terms of consumption; or one may not be willing to block the attack, and the shield is still there, but the person is gone. This is exactly why Jiang Yan is practicing hard here.

However, even though the true source sounded ridiculous, it still did not make Sambo give up:

"Haha, buddy, you're quite humorous. But seriously, wouldn't you consider selling this shield for a fortune? There's no deal that's off-limits. As long as a master is interested in an ancient relic of this caliber, why would you even bother exploring caves with me? Wouldn't it be nice to just enjoy the fireplace and lounge chairs in the upper area?"

"Oh? How much do you plan to pay for the Winter City Shield?" Jiang Yan suddenly became curious. In this country that has been protected by the power of preservation for seven hundred years, how much are merchants willing to pay for this amber shield?

"You changed your mind? That's great!" The other person suddenly came closer with a lantern in his hand, his eyes shining. His excited expression scared Jiang Yan.

"Back off, it's dangerous here!"

However, Sangbo completely ignored the nearby automated soldiers and gesticulated to Jiang Yan:

"Old Sambo never lies to his friends. How could you possibly exchange your shield for the Winterfell Shield? Looking at how it looks, people would even believe it's the Amber King's artifact! If you present it to the newly appointed High Guardian, that young lady will be so happy that you could easily become an earl or baron. My friend, you're so handsome, and if the High Guardian takes a fancy to you and you become a prince, don't forget to lend a hand to me, Old Sambo!"

The "clear path" that Sangbo pointed out to Jiang Yan almost made him laugh out loud. "Give back the shield they gave me? You're such a talent!"

As for the idea of ​​being favored by the Great Guardian, he wanted to laugh. That girl, whom he had only met a few times but was certain had devoted her entire life to Beloberg, couldn't she even think about romantic relationships? It didn't exist.

So he just smiled and tapped the shield lightly: "Those things, I can easily get them with this shield, right? As for the Great Guardian, is it something people like us can dream of? Old Sanbo, you should just stick to your promising job as an adventurer."

"That's hard to say..." Sambo muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" The huge collision and explosion made Jiang Yan unable to hear what the other party said.

"No, nothing. I was just lamenting that today is my old Sambo's lucky day."

So in the following time, although Sangbo was still talkative, he kept asking Jiang Yan to tell him, a poor man who had never had a good look at the upper area, the stories that happened on the surface.

Seeing him constantly flattering and begging for pity, and thinking about the miserable life of the lower class who were always exposed to the sun, Jiang Yan would certainly not refuse such a simple request.

Jiang Yan quickly recounted everything that had happened around him, except for the parts involving Jeppard, Bronya, and the others. Before they knew it, the area they were exploring was already littered with corpses. After Sambo dug a large pit with the fallen automatons, filled it in, and left a mark, waiting for the Silvermane Guards to arrive and remove the remains, the two of them left the ruins contentedly, saying goodbye to each other like true friends.

"What on earth is this guy doing here?"

Seeing the other person walking away without a trace of footprints on the road, Jiang Yan scratched his head in confusion.

I originally thought that the other party was nothing more than a robber who killed and robbed, or a swindler who bullied strangers, or a lobbyist for some force.

In the end, he had been on guard for so long in vain. Those nimble hands did not deliver a sharp blade from behind to attack him, and those clever mouths did not utter any substantial traps or solicitations.

So what was he doing here? Playing the long game?

Forget it, never mind it!

After undergoing actual combat testing, Jiang Yan couldn't wait to defeat all the powerful men that Beloberg was familiar with, and use the most stringent standards to test his new fighting methods! Who has time to deal with some wretched mysterious person?

Let’s go to Panyan Town!

However, what Jiang Yan didn't know was that the mysterious guy named Sambo had also arrived in Panyan Town just before him. In an unknown corner, he complained to a seemingly damaged TV:

"It was a close call. I've been enjoying fun for half my life, but I almost ended up being the one to turn to ash. But, considering it's a rare opportunity for me to make a fool of myself on stage, Brother Giovanni, could you please do me a small favor?"

And from the TV came an equally exaggerated voice:

"That won't do, Brother Sambo. I prefer to see a naturally developed happy ending to a drama that is not artificially choreographed. Unless, the fun is great enough."

"Don't worry, you'll see. It's fun enough that a clown like me will have to take back my mask before I can go on stage." Sambo said with a wry smile.

"Oh? I'll have to reserve a front-row seat for this. I'm really looking forward to it. How much fun would it be to make you, brother Sambo, willing to meet [that person] again..." The voice from the TV laughed happily.

"Well, if possible, I would rather never have anything to do with her again in my life...Okay, bye. Say hello to my brothers and sisters in the tavern for me, and don't forget to tell them - just say that you can look forward to the next show after my return!

After saying that, Sambo turned around and left quietly, and no one saw him again for a long time.

But the fun he left behind still came to Yalilo No. 6 and Xianzhou Luofu at the same time without any warning with the help of the "Tavern Brothers".

Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 17 The Fun Spreads

Almost overnight, a story about a brave warrior fighting for a star core on a planet frozen for seven hundred years began from Epsilon and spread to various planets along the galactic trade routes.

The story is simple: a young man, through an accident, arrives on the planet Yarilo VI, a planet on the brink of extinction, plagued by centuries of stellar destruction. But relying on his courage and unwavering willpower, he leads the local natives in defeating countless rift monsters and ultimately wins the heart of the planet's queen. As a token of their love, she gives him the Amber King's power, a secret treasure left behind by the planet's builders. From then on, he achieves both planetary and human life, reaching the pinnacle of his life.

This extremely clichéd Dragon Quest story would be disliked by children even in children's theaters. However, unlike children, some key words in this old story make it impossible for profit-conscious adults to ignore them.

Will the mineral star that has been frozen for seven hundred years restart its orbit?

A successfully sealed star core?
