474: Daqin Xuanji City, No. 007 Demon Suppression Platform activated, obtained the ruins map

Inside the Black Tower.

Everyone looked outside, countless black bats shrieked and roared, some even attempted to charge, but before they could get within a hundred steps, they strangely disintegrated into dust.

“These cursed things can’t get close to the Black Tower, we’re safe for now!”

Flame Emberborn’s tense expression relaxed a little.

Only then did everyone begin to examine the Black Tower. The entire tower had only three floors. The first and second floors were empty.

On the third floor, there was a dust-covered screen, seemingly dormant for countless years. Flame Emberborn waved his hand, sweeping away all the dust from the third floor.

At this moment, the characters on the screen gradually became clear.

“All who enter this place are… destined, invest Spirit Stones, and each person may freely choose one item?”

Flower Gentleman read out each word, looking at the characters on the screen.

“Damn it, where do I put them? Where is it?”

Flower Gentleman scanned the entire Black Tower, but couldn’t find any entrance.

“Are they messing with us?”

“Idiot, look below the characters, there’s a slot!”

Flame Emberborn said in a deep voice.

Chu Jiang remained silent.

The characters on this screen were written in Great Qin language, and they were extremely neat, giving a sense of a television screen.

Had the Great Qin already developed to this extent?

“If my guess is correct, this should be the burial ground of Great Qin Dynasty — Mystic Mechanism City, a super mechanical city jointly built by the Mohist and Gongshu Families.”

Flame Emberborn continued. As the person who discovered this relic, he naturally had some understanding of it. Now, seeing this screen further confirmed his guess.

“Mystic Mechanism City?”

Flower Gentleman and Yue Xuanji had not heard of it and were full of doubts.

“Legend has it that the first Qin Emperor, in order to suppress demons and consolidate his hegemony, issued an imperial decree, commanding the two sworn enemies, the Gongshu Family and the Mohist Family, to jointly forge this super mechanical city, a peerless killing weapon.”

“Later, the Great Qin Dynasty collapsed in its second generation, and this super mechanical city also vanished into ancient history, unseen by anyone. It was rumored to have been destroyed by demons, but I never expected to see its true appearance today.”

Flame Emberborn’s expression was somewhat excited, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

“Brother, watch how I activate this Black Tower. First things first, I get to choose first.”

Flower Gentleman said anxiously, his mind now filled with treasures.

“Go!”

Without another word, Flower Gentleman pulled out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and inserted it into the slot.

“No reaction?”

Immediately after, he inserted a Medium Grade one, but still no reaction.

It wasn’t until a High-Grade Spirit Stone that the slot began to absorb energy, consuming hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones, yet the Black Tower still showed no signs of activation.

“I’m not playing anymore, this thing only takes and gives nothing…”

Flower Gentleman said, exasperated. It had swallowed hundreds of his High-Grade Spirit Stones without giving any benefit. He seriously suspected it was a scam.

Flame Emberborn continued to put in High-Grade Spirit Stones. Having invested so much already, stopping now would be too regrettable, all efforts wasted.

This time, everyone pooled three thousand. After one thousand eight hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones were swallowed.

Suddenly.

The entire Black Tower began to hum, and a mechanical voice sounded.

“Cannon platform detected damage, initiating self-check program… Recovery progress 1%, 2%, 3%… 25%, insufficient energy, repair terminated…”

“Hello, this is Great Qin Mystic Mechanism City, Demon Suppression Platform 007. Thank you all for activating me. Here is the list, you may choose one item from it at will!”

The Demon Suppression Platform emitted a mechanical voice.

As it spoke, a display of treasures appeared on the control panel.

But strangely, the treasures on the screen had no names, no descriptions, only an image.

“Great Lord 007, there’s nothing here, how are we supposed to choose? Blindly?”

Flower Gentleman was stunned.

“Demon Suppression Platform 007, data has been lost and cannot be restored!”

Damn it!

Didn’t that mean they could only choose blindly, based on feeling?

“You’re the one!”

Flower Gentleman pointed with a large hand, selecting a purple Medicinal Pill.

Perhaps this Medicinal Pill could lead to a Breakthrough in his Realm, which would be a huge profit.

A moment later.

A Medicinal Pill, stinking of mold and emitting a faint decaying aura, appeared before Flower Gentleman.

“Damn it, 007, are you sure you didn’t send the wrong one?”

Flower Gentleman’s face was like charcoal. Was this the purple treasure elixir from the image? This was miles apart!

Flame Emberborn saw Flower Gentleman’s Medicinal Pill in this state, and his initial thought of choosing a Medicinal Pill instantly changed.

He directly chose a weapon that was sparking.

Weapons were different from Medicinal Pills. Medicinal Pills required strict long-term storage conditions.

However, once a weapon reached the Spiritual Artifact level, it would essentially remain intact for thousands of years, and Magic Treasures would not suffer much damage even after ten thousand years.

A moment later, Flame Emberborn held a Medium Grade fire-attribute Magic Treasure spear. Although it had a trace of rust, it did not affect its use.

At least it was complete.

Yue Xuanji, on the other hand, received a spirit talisman.

“This is a Divine Speed Talisman, it can increase speed, not bad!”

“Your Majesty, that one looks like an invincible Cultivation Technique, choose it.”

“This one is also good, it must be a peerless killing weapon.”

Flower Gentleman saw that both of them had gained something, and his guts turned green with regret. Why the hell did he choose a Medicinal Pill?

Chu Jiang ignored Flower Gentleman’s words, flipping through and tapping a blank piece of paper. A moment later, a map appeared before him.

“Mystic Mechanism City Full Map!”

It clearly marked the distribution of the entire ruins, as well as the specific location of their Demon Suppression Platform 007, and dozens of other Demon Suppression Platforms, scattered around Mystic Mechanism City.

The other three’s eyes widened. With this thing, they were like a king’s trump card in these ruins, never getting lost.

“My heavens, Your Majesty, you’re truly amazing! How did you know this blank paper was a map?!” Flower Gentleman was stunned. This map was definitely the most precious item, not only pointing the way but also allowing them to go to other Demon Suppression Platforms.

He had initially wanted to get a map, but after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find anything that looked like a map, so he just randomly picked a Medicinal Pill.

“Luck, I guess!”

Chu Jiang said with a faint smile.

He now possessed two Divine Jades, and his Luck was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

He had also taken a gamble.

He hadn’t expected to win.

“Your Majesty, can you share some of your old man’s Luck with me?”

Flower Gentleman looked on eagerly.

“My Luck is poisonous, it can kill people…”

Chu Jiang shook his head.

“Luck, how can it be poisonous? It’s all good stuff. I wish all the Luck in the world were mine.”

Flower Gentleman said.

Chu Jiang no longer spoke, his gaze turning to the outside. That sense of being watched was gone. This Black Tower was not simple.

After everyone rested and recovered to their peak state in the Black Tower, they set off again, heading to the next Black Tower. With the map, they essentially had fixed spring water supplies, like having a full map hack.

Their exploration efficiency surged.

After everyone had moved away, the star map on the dome of the Black Tower shifted three degrees, and a certain gear in the unknown base of the tower quietly rotated half a tooth…

No one knew.
