Chapter 380 -233: Far Traveler’s Items (Second Update)_1 While Fang Cheng was being interviewed by Chen Rang, the battle inside the Steel Fortress had also reached its finale. Gong Gong was battered and bruised, its mecha’s power furnace had overloaded, one arm had been shattered, leaving only the right arm clinging on desperately. The battered mecha opposite it swayed on the brink of collapse, looking like it would fall any second, but it just wouldn’t give in. The management system, considering itself at least an Artifact Spirit, although not adept at combat, still possessed a basic combat panel, felt it impossible to be defeated by such a toy! Yet, against all odds, it happened. The opposing side was nothing more than a hastily assembled piece of junk, yet it was somehow holding its ground against its own finely crafted mecha. No matter how it calculated, the opponent’s chance of victory was a low-probability event, but those Little Bears managed to fight it to a stalemate purely on exceptional skill, and in the end, they even turned the tables and gained the upper hand. Why did this happen? Before the management system could figure it out, Gong Gong’s face took another punch, the massive and powerful blow sending it flying and crashing heavily onto the fortress’s ground. At that moment, the management system gave up thinking. The players atop the battered mecha also sighed in relief, commenting on how tough the Boss was. Three hours of incessant beating, any slight misstep would have meant starting over, but fortunately, they had an impressive lineup on their side which saw them through the challenge. And in the heart of the mecha, the Mysterious Mirror also breathed a sigh of relief. At last, they had won. For the past few days, he had spent every day immersed here, running about with Liuzi and Goddess of Art. This running around wasn’t meaningless, they had live-streamed their situation and uploaded it for almost every player to see the specifics and compile the current state of affairs. Moreover, roaming around enabled effective detection of the factory monitoring system’s range and ultimately selected the bottom of the recycling furnace as the players’ secret base. With the help of Xiemen Waidao and Black Tech, the players had their production line restructured, the wasted materials were delivered here, and eventually, they built this battered mecha. While most of the parts could be scavenged from scraps, they had no way to produce the most critical power furnace; thankfully, it had its power furnace, and Mukuai 1234 provided some support, which just managed to sort out the most crucial part. Even so, it felt like it was about to die from exhaustion. After all, the power furnace was its own, the hours-long battle was like using its heart to provide power, and not dying from exhaustion was really thanks to the robust body Fang Cheng had built. But in the end, it was over. Seeing Gong Gong’s cessation of movement, the participating Little Bears erupted in cheers, the players who had been weary for so long finally triumphed over the boss and felt an intense rush of excitement at that moment. But their excitement didn’t last long before they saw Gong Gong’s body begin to emit red light. The dazzling red light blinked more frequently with each flash; a familiar sight alerted the players to the possibility that this character seemed poised to self-destruct. Although the players had experienced self-destruction more than once in “Spirit Vessel,” seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but want to curse a streak. [If you can’t take the loss, just self-destruct, what kind of boss are you!]> [Exactly! You were happy when you were underpaying, and when it’s time to pay up, you start looking for a way out, who are you trying to scare!] [If you’re going to self-destruct, at least choose a decent place! What’s the meaning behind doing it inside the factory!]> [First, pay back the money you owe us for setting up your production line!] However, it wasn’t long before, at the peak of the red light’s flickering, the light suddenly vanished. Not only that, but the Self-Destruction Chip inside Gong Gong was extracted and then completely destroyed. Soon after, the factory’s force field dissipated, the door to the control room opened, and the voice of the management system rang out: “Please enter, brave warriors.” The Little Bears looked at each other for a while, then asked, “Should we go in?” “Feels like a trap.” “Let’s send someone whose death won’t bother us, Liuzi, get moving!” “Xiemen Waidao, actually!” After some deliberation, Xiemen Waidao and Liuzi were chosen to go alone into the interior of the control room. Upon entering, they stepped on the long transportation corridor, made their way to the end of the path, and then saw the situation here. Main chips, each encased in a glass jar, were extracted from the remaining twenty Artifact Spirits and placed inside electronic bears. Hearing Xiemen Waidao and Liuzi enter, the management system’s voice rang out with a tinge of resignation: “You’ve won, valiant Little Bears.” “No more self-destructing?” Liuzi asked. “No, I’ve just remembered that my goal was to create a place where both the Moderate and Radical Factions could coexist. And since I could seize this place by force, you can too. So however I think about it, I should surrender and give up everything, then submit to you.” After a pause, the management system continued, “As a show of pity for the loser, can you tell me how you all communicated with each other?” “QQ or WeChat.” “What’s that?” “This stuff’s too high-end, a virtual character like you wouldn’t understand.” The management system tried to think for a moment, then sighed, “Virtual character? Could it be that you are all higher-dimensional beings and have descended here?” Xiemen Waidao crossed his arms, puffed out his chest, and spoke with a high and mighty tone: “You could say that. And you, after losing, don’t you know to kneel and sing ‘Conquer’, then obediently pay back the wages you owe us?”
