Chapter Summaries

Lin Zhiluo examined and equipped the Epic Grade Pluto Mecha, a liquid-metal creation of the Mechanical God Race that boosted his attributes and could grow by learning abilities. He discovered that it could remain active without draining energy and found an 80%-off shop coupon among his quest rewards.

• Lin Zhiluo learned that the Pluto Mecha came from the Mechanical God Race and saw that its Mimicry and Pluto abilities let it imitate equipment and grow by learning compatible abilities.

• Lin Zhiluo accepted command of more than a hundred elite zombies and led them out to search, choosing their destination himself.

He left Zhou Yiran, Wu Nanqing, Uncle Pang, Hua Xingchen, the other humans with Mechas, Da Sha, and Ghost Child safely hidden as the zombies searched a large cabin.

• Lin Zhiluo waited for the Corpse Emperor, suspecting it wanted to take his Mechas and hoping to learn how to unbind them.
