Contaminated Alchemy Type C Machine (Canine Type)

Upon entering the shield, Lister felt no sense of falling and keenly sensed a Twist in the surrounding space.

The next instant, he was standing on the ground, and Wang Yue appeared behind him as well, seemingly having been teleported there.

The sky was overcast, and as far as the eye could see, darkness descended.

In Lister's memory, the alchemical ruins were in this environment year-round, underground and without starlight or simulated sunlight.

Looking around at the surroundings, I saw that the yellow sand beneath my feet was still the familiar ground.

I bent down and pinched a handful of sand; it was drier than the sand on the riverbed.

There were no familiar buildings around, but instead various abandoned machines, metals, and even irregular crystals scattered throughout the desert.

It seems I'm currently outside the city, in the area where players are farming monsters.

The entire underground alchemical ruins are divided into two parts: the area outside the city and the Alchemy Ruined City.

In his previous life as a player, Lister was directly teleported to the 31st district of the ruined city.

The entire Alchemy Ruined City has no inner or outer city distinction; it consists of forty-nine districts in total. Apart from the core area of the first district, the rest are all functional areas.

Of course, regular players are only allowed access up to the twentieth server; access to the servers beyond that requires skill verification.

In his previous life, Lister didn't meet the standards, so he lingered in the 20th district, spending most of his time grinding experience outside the city.

He paid no attention to the environment of the entire alchemical ruins, and was now carefully examining everything around him, including the sand and gravel under his feet.

Speculate on the past and reasons for the demise of the entire Alchemy Civilization, and at the same time consider clues that could connect the Alchemy Civilization with the galactic civilization.

"I feel like this is no different from the one above!"

"Are the ruins you mentioned really there?"

Wang Yue had already switched back to his boyish face, and it seemed he did indeed prefer using that face on ordinary days.

The expectant look on his face had long since faded.

Facing the endless yellow sand and the deserted environment, a sense of disappointment inevitably crossed my mind.

The new continent was indeed a new continent, but it still didn't meet her expectations.

However, the next moment, Wang Yue frowned.

Similarly, Lister's right hand was already on the hilt of his sword, his gaze fixed on the left front.

Both of them possessed extraordinary sensory abilities, detecting any movement in the distance the moment they did.

More than 200 meters away, a patch of gravel was constantly surging, and a dark red light was flashing rhythmically from within the gravel.

They all stood patiently in place, and a silver metallic luster rose continuously under the flash of the red light.

Immediately, a giant mechanical dog, about two meters tall, appeared in their line of sight.

The mechanical dog didn't look refined; in fact, it could be described as rough, as if various pieces of silver and black scrap metal were piled up and lumped together on its body.

However, when viewed from a distance, the whole thing has a strange sense of harmony, and even a kind of mechanical rhythmic beauty.

The red light was flashing from the red crystal on its forehead, Lister knew that this was the other party's energy core.

"Reconnaissance of enemy and friendly forces is underway... Reconnaissance results have been obtained..."

[Overall Rating: C (Boss Level)]

The Alchemy Ruins are part of the fourth act's setting, and the monsters there are between level 60 and 80.

At the same time, the monster's strength is more clearly defined than in other scenes. The overall strength of the C-type machine is C-level, and you can roughly know it by glancing at the target's name.

Wang Yue's face was somewhat grim at this moment. Now everything was truly as she wished, and before her was the new world with greater power that she had been searching for.

Unfortunately, the power of this new world is somewhat beyond her current capacity to withstand.

The mechanical dog in front of her was far beyond her ability to contend with, even with her mere fourth-tier combat strength, despite her overall rating being A.

Although he didn't have Lister's ability to scan specific information through the system, Wang Yue had his own way of judging the opponent's strength through perception.

Just by looking at the mechanical dog in front of her, she could keenly sense that there was a significant gap in strength between them.

Only when he looked at Lister beside him did his tension finally ease.

Lister also frowned, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the mechanical dog in front of him.

This mechanical dog posed no challenge to him, even though it had a whopping 70,000 HP and extremely high skill damage.

But it's still no match for Lister, a level 60 Overlord Tier unit.

Even without a second job advancement, this mechanical dog posed no threat to him.

Lister was more concerned with the mechanical dog's name at this moment: "Contaminated" alchemical machinery.

In his memory, all the machines outside the city were "contaminated," but in his previous life, he hadn't paid any attention to these game details.

Now he needs to pay attention to all information, for fear of overlooking any important or crucial details.

"Whoosh!"

The mechanical dog charged toward the two of them at incredible speed, weaving through the various abandoned machines and metal objects in the desert and quickly blending into the environment.

As he ran, he could only hear the faint sound of mechanical gears grinding together, as if all the abandoned machines in front of him had come to life and were rushing towards him.

If it weren't for their exceptional perception, it would have been very difficult to spot the mechanical dog among them.

The mechanical dog leaped up and pounced on Lister.

The jagged, sharp blades form the teeth in the mechanical dog's long mouth.

There was also a circular blade in its throat, spinning rapidly as if it were already prepared to cut.

Unfortunately, it was facing Lister.

Just as it lunged at Lister, less than a meter away, a flash of silver light appeared.

The blade sliced through the mechanical dog's open mouth in an instant, severing all the blades, teeth, and the cutting blade in its throat.

This is the sharpness inherent in Sharp Blade; Lister naturally possesses a significant advantage in the clash between machinery and blades.

Attack: Deals 3301 damage, 12067 damage ignoring defense, and 20111 additional true damage.

One strike dealt 35,000 points of damage to the opponent, and that was without hitting any vital points or causing a critical hit.

Even though there is a 14-level difference in level, Lister's Overlord Tier strength is beyond doubt.

Even though these enemies in Act 4 are significantly stronger than those in the previous acts, reaching C-rank, they still wouldn't be able to withstand two of his attacks.

After the attack, the mechanical dog quickly retreated several meters.

The mechanical pupils stared silently at Lister before them, locking onto him once more.

Like all the other machines outside the city, even though they were outmatched, they had no will to flee and would only continue charging until they died.

When it pounced again, before it could even get close, Lister's Iai Slash had already been unleashed.

The Iai Slash, an extension of the A-rank Merrick Saber Technique, already possesses the ability to attack at medium to long range.

With a sharp whistling sound, a huge silver blade of light sliced the C-shaped mechanical dog in two from its neck.

Congratulations, you have gained 210,000 experience points.

Despite the generous experience points, Lister did not show any surprise.

Players are leveling up their Merrick Saber Technique quickly; his experience points are already close to 600 million, so he doesn't need them for now.

The current task is to get closer and examine the dead mechanical dog.

With the mechanical dog's death, the irregular red crystal on its forehead, no longer firmly attached, was ripped off by Lister.

Now, the crystal has turned colorless.

It is no different from other irregular crystals that can be found everywhere in the desert.

[Contaminated Alchemy Grade C Energy Crystal: 1% Energy Remaining, Depleted. (Note: This energy crystal can be recycled twice more.)]

This item was quite popular among players in its previous life.

The prerequisite is that the energy crystals are uncontaminated and have a high number of cycles.

Players specializing in mechanical engineering, as well as those with specific secondary professions, will create alchemical pets.

While contaminated energy crystals can be created, they lack rationality or logic and will attack anyone indiscriminately.
