MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

The others also felt it was not enough. These scrolls were consumables, and they were such nice things, a lifeline for mages.

This especially applies to the priest types like Light Flower. They might have a high Magic Strength, but their damaging spells were quite limited.

If used well, these scrolls could produce unexpectedly good results. So for her, these one-time consumables aren’t about how much they cost anymore. She practically wouldn’t sell them. These are nice things, how could one be enough?

Li Yao took back the hand he had extended earlier and frowned in thought, “You’re right. I myself only have a thousand. That’s far too few. The magician’s reminder was very appropriate. Let’s just forget it this time.”

Li Yao said, then put away all the scrolls.

“Master…” Magician World was about to cry, What on earth… We didn’t mean that.

“Alright, don’t say anymore. I appreciate that you’re looking out for me. Good, you have potential.” Li Yao patted him on the shoulder with his mechanical arm, then went to the side. Li Yao closed his eyes to rest, with Death God 4000 standing guard in front of him.

The few players glanced at each other. Little Cold Hands gave Magician World an indifferent look as she moved away as well, Ephemeral Bloom gave him a look as if he was an idiot and followed Little Cold Hands to study the blue puppet.

“Didn’t expect Master to misinterpret. Don’t blame me. Why are you all looking at me?” Magician World was speechless.

Light Flower said, “Not blaming you. But this is Master warning us.”

“Warning. What warning?” Magician World was puzzled.

Light Flower said, “Master is trying to make us understand that we don’t have the privilege to negotiate with him.”

“It’s not that complicated, is it?” War Horizon wasn’t good at these convoluted concepts.

“Why not? You need to understand that we accepted an escort mission, and missions come with rewards. Whatever we get from monsters is for ourselves. But according to the mission, all the loot belongs to the NPCs. It would be normal for them not to give us anything.”

Magician World finally understood. Anything Li Yao gave them was an unexpected boon. If he gave them nothing, there’d be nothing wrong.

War Horizon lowered his head and said, “We weren’t decisive enough just now. We even wanted to negotiate and take a few more. Now we have none. I guess there won’t be any extra tips in the future.”

No one had gotten scrolls, and their spirits were dampened. Each of them found a corner and took out their sleeping bags.

“The monsters are in their frenzy period, so let’s rest for tonight.”

Despite being underground, the monsters’ frenzy period was still going on. They had already completed the tasks for two doors today, which was beyond his expectations. As long as they managed to deal with the last door tomorrow, Li Yao decided to head back.

After all, once the task was done, he could choose any blueprint of Miller’s. There was no need for him to risk entering the core area to look for blueprints. Even with his current level and the Golden Puppet, it would be extremely dangerous to venture into the core area rashly, let alone for the five players.

With Death God 4000 standing guard, Li Yao quickly logged off to deal with a real-world problem, then logged back on to replenish his spirit. Having been on the go until now, his spirit was tired.

The players dealt with their own business too. By midnight, Li Yao was refreshed.

He looked at Death God 4000 standing in front of him and smiled slightly.

With nothing to do, Li Yao decided once again to make minor adjustments to Death God 4000. He decided to turn Death God 4000 into a high-firepower weapon.

The weapons we used by the two players could naturally not be used anymore. He rummaged for several mechanical arms.

In the end, he decided to install a rocket cannon on one arm and a power drill flashing with electric light on the other.

The rocket cannon could fire powerful Rocket Bombs, while the electric drill that emitted electric arcs, besides physical attacks, could use two lightning skills similarly to the Cave Puppet he initially defeated, making it a decent area-of-effect attacker.

With these changes, Death God 4000’s combat power had once again been raised a notch.

During his modification of Death God 4000, Little Cold Hands and Ephemeral Bloom both ran over to join in and help, which saved Li Yao quite a bit of time.

“Master, I don’t think puppet modification is that hard.” Little Cold Hands asked when she saw Li Yao dyeing Death God 4000.

Li Yao said, “That’s because we have ready-made parts. Follow a certain rule, and naturally you can install them properly.”

“What should I do if I want a stronger mechanical pet?” This was Little Cold Hands’ most pressing question.

At the sight of a good prospect in the Hunter, Li Yao was not stingy with his advice, “If you want a good puppet, you need a good blueprint. In this regard, your mechanical bear is not too weak, but because you didn’t make it yourself, it does not resonate well with you. You also can’t establish a mental connection with it. Only a puppet you make yourself is the best. Apart from that, you need materials. The process of making any puppet is the same, but the results will vary with different materials.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Master.” Little Cold Hands gratefully said.

“No need for thanks. You helped me a lot today too. Little miss, you’ve got talent and good comprehension. So, work hard to find blueprints, and also pay attention to gathering high-level ores and gemstones, and that sort of things. These aren’t things you can accomplish overnight, just pay attention to it normally.”

Actually, that’s what Li Yao was doing as well, accumulating materials continuously, preparing for the evolution of his mechanical pet.

The Fire Eagle, Death God 4000, and the new mechanical puppet all required a great deal of resources, and the materials might not necessarily be available to purchase. Although he had gathered a pile of materials this trip, they were definitely not enough to construct high-quality puppets.

“Alright, I’ll remember.” Of all the players, the one who gained the most this time was Little Cold Hands.

“Alright. Let’s also get going. This time we’ll venture deeper, nearing the true Titan remains. This time we need to face not only cave dwellers, but also Mechanical Gnomes, so be alert and don’t drop your guard.” Li Yao said.

War Horizon smiled wryly, “How are we supposed to know which way is deeper? This place has too many intersections, and it’s like a huge maze.”

“Having opened two doors, I’ve already assembled some of the electronic map. It’s not hard to go deeper. Just so you know, this last door isn’t easy to open, so gear yourself up for the possibility of dying.”

Having said that, Li Yao led the way away from there. He decided to tackle one door near the center where Mechanical Gnomes were most likely to be, hoping to get some good stuff. If he couldn’t, he would retreat and just randomly open a door to accomplish his task.

The players, having been reminded twice by Li Yao, were also on their toes, all alert…
