75: Chapter 75 High-Tech Department Store
But that much energy is enough for someone to break through to the Ninth Rank... there's simply no need to create some mecha.
“This... with over a hundred energy sources at the ten-million-year level, wouldn't it be better to just find someone to break through to the Ninth Rank? However, while the Ninth Rank might be out... creating Third, Fourth, or even Fifth Rank ones shouldn't be much of a problem.” Mu Cheng said as he suddenly snapped out of it.
“Wait... according to what you mean, as long as there's enough energy it's fine? What would happen if I provided the energy?”
“In theory, there's no problem, but first you'd have to create a Ninth Rank mecha, and I can guarantee it wouldn't be able to withstand your energy; even if it barely worked, it would be a single-use item!” Peppa also felt this method was feasible.
Mu Cheng, who possessed the Devouring Bloodline, had an infinite supply of energy himself; he could even provide energy for something like the nebula, that peerless divine artifact of a spacecraft it knew of.
Not to mention... a tiny Ninth Rank mecha.
“Is now the time to talk about this? Shouldn't we be thinking of a way to get back?” Chu Yaoyao was in no mood to listen to any of this.
This was indeed quite unrealistic; using a person's Bloodline Power to provide energy? You're dreaming... maybe in your sleep.
“About ten days or so! You'll be automatically teleported back then, but don't worry, there's a time difference here; when you go back, it will still be the moment the Talisman Array was broken.” Peppa explained.
This was actually a good opportunity; entering such a secret realm required luck, and some people might never get this chance in their entire lives.
“Even mosquito legs are meat; how about during this time... we do a good job of scavenging some black gold iron stone!” Mu Cheng said as soon as he heard this.
Since they couldn't go back yet, they obviously had to learn to adapt and do something meaningful.
After saying that, without even asking for details, he began to smash away at the black gold iron stone...
“Where's your brain... if I didn't know you, you'd really look like a fool.” Chu Yaoyao expressed her speechlessness.
Sometimes she even failed to understand what was so good about Mu Cheng's character. What kind of dumb luck did he have to be favored by the Lu family?
And he's also the man behind Menglou Pavilion... can't he use his brain even a little bit?
“What's the situation here?” Mu Cheng heard Chu Yaoyao's inner thoughts and naturally stopped to ask for clarification.
Looking like a simpleton... he still didn't understand the situation.
“What do you mean 'what's the situation'? Obviously, there are people in this secret realm; didn't you observe carefully to see if the surroundings have been mined by others?” Peppa was also very helpless.
This brain of his was truly something else... but that's one thing; Peppa had naturally seen all of Mu Cheng's current strength.
“Fine! Where are we going next?” Just as Mu Cheng finished asking... this hidden prompt suddenly popped up.
[Warning! Warning! A large batch of Ghost Wolf Clan is approaching, level unknown, quantity unknown, please pay attention to safety.]
A hidden prompt for a danger warning; Mu Cheng calculated the time, and it hadn't appeared for a long while.
Just as he was about to speak, Peppa beat him to it. “It's the Ghost Wolf Clan army, I see, I see. Listen to me and head east quickly!”
Seeing such a serious manner, Chu Yaoyao's first reaction was that things were about to go south.
She immediately took out her flight backpack, put it on, and soared into the sky.
“Don't just stand there, the Ghost Wolf Clan army isn't something we can afford to mess with.”
Others might not know, but she knew very well that generally, for a Ghost Wolf Clan army, the leading Great General would truly be a genuine Ninth Rank.
And even a Ghost Wolf Clan soldier had strength above the Sixth Rank; such an army...
Now, besides listening to Peppa, there was no other choice!
“Mm-hmm, then let's leave this place quickly!” Mu Cheng didn't hesitate for a moment, releasing his Purple Cloud Wings to follow closely behind.
Sure enough, before long, the two of them saw a city ahead, and a very, very large one at that.
It was full of high technology; the city walls alone were five or six hundred meters high, and its scale was more than ten times larger than Xinning City!
“This... it's actually a city.” Chu Yaoyao looked on in great surprise.
She was considered someone with broad horizons, so for her to be this shocked, it was obvious this city was definitely not simple.
“Good grief, this city shouldn't be simple, right!” Mu Cheng was naturally also incomparably shocked.
“Don't be so dramatic, and think about the Ghost Wolf Clan army; if it didn't have some strength, this city would have been gone long ago.” Peppa had seen all sorts of storms.
It was just a small city, and Peppa wasn't interested in the slightest!
“Pah~ true, let's go in first to understand the situation, but here's the problem... how do we get in?” Mu Cheng was also quite anxious.
The city before them... not only were the walls high, but there was also a giant energy shield protecting it.
Trying to force their way in was almost impossible.
“Just pass directly through the city wall; it's high-tech stuff, there's no need for me to explain too much, right?” Peppa replied with a counter-question.
They had encountered quite a lot of high-tech things: high-tech rice balls, high-tech tents, high-tech bathtubs, and so on...
The existence of these things couldn't be explained by science at all, and this city before them was all high-tech.
Naturally, the city walls were the same...
Soon, the two people and the Little Piglet passed through the wall, and upon seeing everything before them, instantly...
Both Chu Yaoyao and Mu Cheng were so shocked they couldn't speak.
A bustling modern metropolis, flying cars coming and going, and many, many large battleships...
They thought these things only existed in sci-fi movies, but they never expected... they truly existed.
Not long after, as vibrations were felt, it was obvious that a fight had already started outside...
“Has a fight started?” Although Mu Cheng had already guessed that a fight had broken out, he still asked subconsciously.
Peppa: “Aren't you just stating the obvious? Besides, you guys should just forget about a battle of this level! Go to that tallest tower; that's where the black gold iron stone we need should be.”
“Then what are we waiting for, let's go!” Chu Yaoyao didn't waste words... and once again soared into the sky.
The city looked quite luxurious, but it wasn't actually that large inside; in less than ten minutes.
The two people and the Little Piglet had already arrived at the central tower.
This tower was about a hundred meters high, and it could be clearly seen that the energy shield was being projected from here to form the defense.
“It seems... this place shouldn't be simple.” Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and entered directly.
Chu Yaoyao followed closely behind, only to see something quite eye-searing before her... it was actually a department store.
The people coming and going were all ordinary people; there were simply no ability users or those with awakened bloodlines.
“What's the situation now?” The more Chu Yaoyao thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out.
There were actually ordinary people here? And by the look of it, their lives were quite good...
“It is indeed quite strange.” Mu Cheng couldn't see anything special about it either.
It was clearly a department store, yet there wasn't a single waitress; it was all high-tech robots busy moving about.
“Where's your brain? Isn't there an elevator over there to go up? That's all there is to it.” Peppa said.
Only then did the two of them realize that this department store did indeed have many, many elevators.
