Chapter 285: Heading To the Moon (3)
[Infected by an unknown liquid: Qi +8266]
[Qi +8048; Qi +7926; Qi +…]
In a cramped cave, Chen Yu had finished injecting the last tube of medicine. He put down the needle and tried to stimulate the dantian in his body.
Dong!
The sudden impact blew the cave into dust.
The strength that he displayed had already reached Level 2.5…
A month had passed since the destruction of the capital.
During this one month, Chen Yu did not waste his time. Instead, he injected the A-Grade synthetic fluid in the jar every day and trained hard to fuse it. Finally, he went from Level 2.0 to 2.5.
“Hu…”
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu slowly controlled his sea of Qi to return to his body. He lowered his head and pondered.
After eating that ‘pet egg’, his current physique allowed him to fight against a peak Level 2 martial artist.
At this moment, with the addition of the Level 2.5 strength buff… an ordinary Level 4 martial artist was no longer his match.
Moreover, he still had the Leap of Faith and Enlightenment, these two enhanced martial skills. With the combination of spatial teleportation and the BB longsword, as long as they were not above Level 5, he could fight for a while.
As for those above Level 5, he should avoid them first. Unless he used the national treasure revolver…
After all, the higher the combat power tree of martial arts, the greater the gap between each 0.1 level.
Now, he could easily jump one or two levels and fight above his level.
After he reached the higher level, it would be very rare to be able to jump 0.1 or 0.2 levels.
Especially since high-level martial artists were the true elites of one in ten thousand, which one of them did not have a trump card?
“En…”
“Why does it always have to be compared to martial artists?”
He snapped back to reality.
Chen Yu shook off the wild thoughts in his mind.
The true enemy of civilization was only the Beast Tide. It should be compared to the exotic beasts…
He thought of the exotic beasts.
He recalled that he seemed to have an R skill — Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion!
The attack method of this move was very impressive. It could absorb the force of all the creatures around it until the opponent’s sea of Qi was exhausted.
However, in the early stages, Chen Yu discovered that this thing wasn’t very useful.
It was because his Level 1 and Level 2 strength could only absorb a limited amount of ‘force’. It could only cause a certain degree of shock to the opponent.
However, exotic beasts weren’t afraid of shock.
Therefore, the lethality of this move against exotic beasts was practically zero.
However…
This was only on the surface!
‘Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion’ was actually a true ultimate godly skill!
When his level rose, reaching Level 5, Level 6, or even Level 7, Level 8… then on the battlefield of the Beast Tide, he would become a complete meat grinder.
Wherever he passed, all the exotic beasts within a radius of hundreds of kilometers would be instantly turned into ‘meat jerky’.
Only exotic beasts of the same level and above were qualified to live by luck.
Then, without the intervention of ‘small soldiers,’ human martial artists could launch concentrated attacks on individual exotic beasts!
The threat of the originally invincible Beast Tide would be greatly reduced.
“But…”
Chen Yu frowned. “The problem of top-tier combat strength is still unsolvable.”
Currently, there was only one Level 9 human martial artist left.
But there were always Level 9 beasts in the Beast Tide…
“…”
“…Why am I thinking so much? Anyway, after we immigrate, everything is over.”
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu put the syringe back into his backpack, got up, and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the sun was shining brightly.
Outside the cave, the clouds turned sunny.
He bathed in the cool breeze, and stretched his back vigorously. Then, he flipped over and jumped to the top of the cave, quietly waiting for the spaceship sent by the Origin Robot.
Chen Yu was not very good at math.
He did not know how fast the Origin spaceship was.
He only knew that the average distance from the moon to the Earth was 380,000 kilometers.
When humans first landed on the moon, they flew for a total of 75 hours.
The technology in this world was more advanced, so it could not be more than this time…
“Yawn…”
After yawning, Chen Yu lay on the ground for a short rest, trying to empty his mind.
Recently, he had been thinking about too many things. Although it did not matter physically, he could still feel mentally tired.
But before he could rest for long, he vaguely felt his vision turn black.
Opening his eyes, he saw a round, chubby metal lump standing beside him.
Chen Yu: “…”
The little robot: “…I remember you. The tail… The tail is in front.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Padah!
The round little robot jumped on the spot, seemingly very excited. “Long… long time no see. where… Where have you been?”
Sitting up, Chen Yu sized up the other party. “Why are you here?”
Chen Yu had a very deep impression of this robot.
Back then, BB’s sword had killed the other party’s ‘mother’, and then it had gone around collecting oil and grease in an attempt to revive its mother.
Chen Yu did not know the final result.
He only knew that its mother had exploded…
“My… home is here…” The little robot stretched out a pair of small metal hands and waved them happily. “Are you hungry?”
Chen Yu: “Ah?”
“Are you hungry?” The little robot knocked on its round iron stomach and opened a drawer-like thing. It took out a battery and handed it to Chen Yu. “Eat.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Chen Yu: “…Thank you.”
He reached out and took the battery from the other party. Chen Yu stuffed it into his mouth and chewed hard.
Kacha.
Kacha…
[Ingestion of a highly toxic substance: Constitution +12; Stomach Health +218; Body Cancer Rate -34%]
[Strength +494; Kidney Failure -16%…]
“Hey.”
The little robot was happy and swayed left and right. “Is… Is it good?”
Chen Yu: “It’s good, but it’s a little astringent.”
“What is… astringent?”
“You’ll understand when you grow up.” Standing up, Chen Yu touched the top of the little robot’s head. “Has your mother been resurrected?”
“Oh…”
Hearing this, the little robot bent down dejectedly. “No. Mother always… always explodes. All… All the parts are gone.”
Chen Yu: “…Good child. If your mother knew that you were so filial, she would definitely be very happy.”
“Mn.” The little robot nodded vigorously. “Mother will… be happy in the deity world.”
“Deity world?” Chen Yu was stunned.
“Yes.” The robot closed the drawer at its abdomen and turned to point ahead. “I… I like you. I want to bring you to the village.”
“Village? Is it the one you took me to before?”
“No. That… That village was destroyed by the demons. It’s… It’s our new… established village.”
Hearing that, Chen Yu took out his phone and looked at the time. He estimated that the Origin spaceship would take a long time, so he nodded. “That’s fine. Let’s go.”
“That’s great.”
Click!
The little robot jumped on the spot again and turned to lead the way.
“How many people are there in the village?” Chen Yu asked as he walked.
“So many.” The robot flexed its fingers clumsily and the chip in its brain began to calculate. “There are… there are billions of them.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“It could also be tens of megabytes.”
Perhaps it was because the amount of calculation was too much, but there were actually quite a number of sparks above its head…
Chen Yu: “Alright, don’t calculate anymore.”
“Okay.” The little robot nodded and knocked on its head. “It seems like there are two… two… two capacitors inside.”
Chen Yu: “…”
The robot’s movement speed was not fast. It swayed like a penguin.
But fortunately, the village was not too far away.
In just half an hour, they reached their destination.
“We’re here.”
Stopping, the little robot proudly stretched out its hand and pointed at a thatched cottage at the bottom of the canyon.
Chen Yu took a step forward and narrowed his eyes to observe.
The village was not big.
It was about a kilometer in length.
It was situated between two mountains.
There were houses, roads, a square, and even a swimming pool…
A spherical robot was wandering around the village. It was either strolling, staring blankly, talking, or sprinting.
There were at most a few hundred of them, but it appeared to be extremely lively.
“Front tail monkey, have you ever seen such a magnificent village?” asked the little robot.
“Haven’t seen.” Chen Yu scratched his chin. “Is really quite strong… Wait a minute, front tail monkey? Who the hell do you call front tail monkey?!”
“You.”
“…My name is Chen Yu. If you are blind, you can call me Chen Yu later.”
“Idioms.”
“Chen Yu!”
“Chen Yu…” The little robot muttered, “I’ll remember it.”
“Mm. What’s your name?”
“I… I don’t have a name.” The robot tilted its head. “But… but now… I’ve thought it through. My name is front tail monkey.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Clang!
He pulled out his long sword.
But after thinking for a while, he stuck it back in.
‘Calm down.’
‘Calm down.’
‘I must be magnanimous…’
After taking a deep breath and completing the three consecutive ‘peaceful’ steps, Chen Yu walked along the small steps towards the village. “Let’s go, bring me around.”
“Yes, yes.”
The small robot nodded repeatedly and hopped over to lead the way in front of Chen Yu.
The steps were not long, but they were very steep.
As Chen Yu walked, he discovered something that was ‘shocking’.
He saw that on the mountain walls on both sides of the steps, there were groups of murals!
The contents of the murals were very abstract, and Chen Yu did not know the meaning of most of them.
There were only a few pictures with good ‘kung fu’, and he could vaguely tell that it was two humans fighting.
“Who drew these?” Chen Yu stopped walking and asked.
“Many people… drew them,” the little robot replied. “I… I usually draw too.”
“…Where are you drawing it?”
“Below. Do you want to see it?”
“Let’s go look.”
“Okay.”
The robot suddenly retracted its head and limbs. Like a ball, it rolled along the steps to the bottom of the canyon.
Chen Yu: “…”
Squeak —
With its limbs and head stretched out, the little robot stood up again and staggered. “Another… Another capacitor exploded.”
Chen Yu: “…”
The robot: “Come quickly! It’s… It’s right here!”
Tightening his loose backpack, Chen Yu jumped up and landed beside the robot with a plop.
“Wow…”
The little robot was shocked. “Su… Sugoi.”
Chen Yu: “…You even know Japanese?”
“Japanese?” The robot was puzzled. “What does that mean?”
Chen Yu explained, “Japanese. It’s used in Japan. It’s called Japanese for short.”
“Oh…” The robot seemed to understand but not really.
“Let’s not talk about this. Where’s your painting? Where is it?”
“Here!” Coming back to its senses, the little robot squatted down and pointed at the rough mural in front of it.
Chen Yu also squatted down and observed it carefully.
The structure of the picture was not complicated.
It was a small ball. It was obviously a little robot.
It was a damaged semicircle. It was obviously the mother of the small robot.
It was a monkey with a long tail in front. It was obviously him…
Chen Yu: “WDNMD.”
“Ah? What… What did you say?”
“What are you drawing?”
“This is me, this is my… Mom, this… This is you.”
“…Even if it’s a tail, there’s no need for it to be long enough to mop the floor.” Chen Yu was in pain.
“No… You didn’t mop the floor?” The little robot looked at Chen Yu’s lower body. “I remember… You did.”
“No.”
“Is that so…” The robot hesitated. “Let me see.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Who are you?”
At this moment, a mechanical voice came from behind.
Chen Yu turned around and saw a ‘normal’-sized robot with a plunger on its head. It stared at him with its red eyes and observed him up and down.
“Village… Village Chief.” The little robot immediately stood up and used its round belly to bump into the other party’s belly. “He is my… friend. His name is front tail…”
Chen Yu: “Chen Yu.”
“Oh right. His name is… Chen Yu. I am the front… front tail monkey.”
“Chen Yu.” The village chief robot circled around Chen Yu. “What a strange name.”
“Hello.” Chen Yu waved his hand in a friendly manner.
“Hello.” The village chief nodded. “I am the… village chief of the village. What are you?”
“He… He said he is a human,” the little robot interrupted. “But if he is a human, what are we?”
“We are the humans.” The village chief said seriously, “You are not a human.”
Chen Yu: “I am a human.”
The village chief: “You are not.”
Chen Yu: “…Alright, it’s up to you. None of this is important. I just want to ask you what that thing above your head is.”
“It is?”
The village chief pulled out the plunger on the top of his head and held it carefully in his hand. “It is my… our human holy weapon.”
Chen Yu: “…There’s nothing wrong with it.”
“I dug it out with great difficulty… and got it. It is a symbol of honor and power, so I… Put it on my head.”
Chen Yu said, “As long as you’re happy.”
“I’ve collected a lot of such holy artifacts.” The village chief pulled open the drawer at his abdomen and took out all kinds of miscellaneous items.
There were glass bottles, plastic bags, and metal lumps.
In short, there was nothing serious.
But what they had in common was that they used to be used by humans.
“Let’s go.” Closing the drawer, the village chief put the plunger back on his head and turned around. “I’ll show you around my village…”
…
It was different from the outskirts.
The interior of the village was very ‘bustling.’
Following behind the village chief, Chen Yu entered the Grand View Garden. As they walked past, he was shocked beyond words.
Other than the murals, he actually saw the art of various civilizations.
There were words.
There were sculptures.
There was music.
There was even a dance that was ‘full of ugliness’.
Art was both a macro concept and an individual phenomenon.
This meant that the robots’ perception, consciousness, thinking, operation, and expression had all reached an extremely outstanding level.
Moreover, from the attitude of the robots towards the village chief, even class had appeared in this village.
“How… How is it?” The village chief was proud. “My village, is it… big or not?”
“Big.” Chen Yu nodded.
“As long as the demons don’t come, the village will definitely get bigger and bigger.”
“Demons?” Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. “What demons?”
“It’s a kind of evil creature. Very few people have seen… them.” The village chief explained, “Because those who have seen them have all died. We are very… many of our kind have died at their hands.”
“Is it the Glorious Army?”
“Yes! It’s called the Glorious Army. Evil demons.”
“How long has it been since they’ve come?”
“It’s… It’s been a few months since we’ve heard any news. Because they’ve all been destroyed by the ‘gods.'” The village chief was dancing with joy. “Long live the gods.”
“Gods?” Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed. “The gods have destroyed the Glorious Army?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the demons come? It’s the gods that protected us.”
“The gods you mentioned… Have you seen them before?”
“We haven’t. But there are traces of gods everywhere.” The village chief once again pulled out the plunger on top of its head and held it high with pride. “This holy weapon is the weapon of the gods!”
“…”
Looking at the plunger, he stood on the spot.
Chen Yu felt a wave of absurdity and strangeness surge into his heart.
