[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] flipped through the simply bound notebook in his hand and said:
"The prototype assembly is now basically complete, so we still need the harmless Blood Corpse as a power source."
He looked up at [ the Lion Hidden in the Eyes ]:
How many Blood Corpse are on the way?
"Twenty."
"Hmm, more than I expected, and these monsters' output power is also higher than I anticipated..."
He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:
"That's settled then. I'll modify the power compartment to accommodate twenty Blood Corpse; the final product should be quite large."
"How big is 'larger'?"
"Hmm, let me think... it'll probably be about the size of a small pickup truck, and the height will need to be increased a bit as well."
"Good."
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to add:
"Since the prototype has already increased in size so much, why not add some more accessories?"
What are you planning to add?
"Hey, I'm telling you, you don't watch enough zombie movies."
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] did not deny the criticism from its friends.
That's indeed the case; due to his busy academic schedule, he doesn't have much time for leisure.
He chose " World of Disorder " because the game wouldn't interfere with his regular rest time.
As for personal preferences, he does indeed lack experience in the field of zombie movies or zombie novels.
So he looked at his friend with anticipation:
"So what are your thoughts?"
I'll only say two things.
[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] He confidently raises two fingers:
"First, a crash barrier should be added at the very front, preferably the kind with spikes."
"Secondly, a hole needs to be made in the ceiling, and a plant-powered arrow launching device needs to be fixed in place."
"Hmm, that's indeed a very valuable suggestion."
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] noted down these two points, and the two sides split up again.
Two days later, a strangely shaped machine appeared in the backyard of the [ Shit Appraisal Master ] Chamber of Commerce.
The appearance of this thing is really hard to describe in words. At first glance, it can only be regarded as a small mobile fortress that has been scaled down and modified.
Some players with better eyesight can even see the few wheels exposed beneath the thick shell, while most players are only attracted by its cool appearance and the row of nails at the front.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
"Hey, I've seen this before. It looks like it's from 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' have you guys seen it?"
"You know what, even though it doesn't look like it, the style is really wild. Putting this thing in that movie wouldn't feel out of place at all."
A passing player commented, glancing closely at the operator not far away:
"[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], is that you?"
The [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] repairman, who crawled under the vehicle on a sliding cart, poked his head out:
"It's me, what's wrong?"
"Is this finished yet? Show everyone how you've got it working!"
"Okay, wait until I install the last bottom protective plate!"
Soon, the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] emerged from under the vehicle, opened the simple but heavy wooden door, and entered the body of this raging behemoth.
"Everyone, watch closely!"
He shouted and turned the switch integrated into the control panel (electric shock array activation program) with his right hand.
"Awooo!!!!"
With a loud howl, the entire prototype vehicle shook violently, and then began to vibrate rhythmically and at low amplitude, like a gasoline car with its engine started.
The roars of the Blood Corpse and the vibrations of the chariots blended together to form a steady, low-frequency roar.
"Wow, it even has a sound effect? That's impressive, bro!"
More and more players gathered outside to watch the spectacle. Although [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] did not respond to them, the expression on his face was already reaching its tense limit.
"It's not over yet!"
A smile appeared on his face as he stepped on the clutch-like mechanism he had created, a combination of mechanical structures from two different worlds.
The force generated by the electric shocks to the twenty Blood Corpse was transmitted through the mechanical structure to the wheels below, and the prototype vehicle began to move slowly.
"Holy crap, it moved! It moved!"
The surrounding players immediately stirred. Although they could roughly understand the principle, most of them were playing this game just for fun.
While highly trained special personnel, disciplined military members, and elites from various industries are numerous, they are not so common after being diluted by the massive number of players.
As the vehicle, which clearly couldn't possibly exist in reality, slowly started moving, the players' cheers grew louder and louder.
However, the most nervous person at this moment was actually the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] in the driver's seat.
At that moment, he was shocked to discover something—
The excessive power of the electric shocks caused the Blood Corpse to stomp on the pedals beneath their feet like madmen.
The excessive torque acting on the gear set made it difficult for him to perform clutch and gear shifting by himself alone.
"That's terrible..."
Muttering to himself, the first prototype combat vehicle independently developed by the Soul Returner rolled over the wall of the [ Shit Appraisal Master ] Chamber of Commerce's backyard.
Without time to consider the losses he had caused to his brothers' businesses, the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], realizing it was beyond repair, immediately began calling out to its two brothers at full power.
The two had better board the vehicle on the route the prototype would take before it left Valhalla; otherwise, they would have to hire Hoofed Beast transport vehicle to follow behind.
The Gungnir have completed the installation of Stability Anchor along the entire route from Valhalla to Klaf City, but the growth and assimilation of these things takes time, so the teleportation points will not be open immediately.
Urged repeatedly by [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], [ Shit Appraisal Master ] was the first to appear at the door of a nearby house.
He walked briskly, glancing around, but his mouth never stopped talking, as if he were giving some instructions.
Behind him, two NPCs dressed as assistants followed closely, taking notes in small notebooks.
Soon, [ Shit Appraisal Master ] spotted the prototype accelerating forward, waved to the two people behind him, and immediately began to accelerate.
Just before the next intersection, he grabbed the handle on the side of the vehicle and, with the help of the driver who was dangerously leaning out of the car, successfully boarded.
A few minutes later, the two heard a commotion behind them on the outskirts of Valhalla.
"Slow down! I can't keep up!"
The two men poked their heads out from either side, and sure enough, they saw [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] running wildly behind the car.
But the wail just now didn't come from him; it came from two players following behind him.
The two were none other than the senior brother [ Dawn Ah ] and junior brother [ Backstabbing Expert ], who were planning to investigate the underground ecology of the Wilderness of Chaos.
