Mu Bai cautiously approached.
After seeing no danger, she took a few more steps to inspect closely.
The pattern on the exterior of this chest wasn’t much different from that of a Silver Chest, and the color was very similar, but Mu Bai felt there was a subtle distinction.
Could it be a mimic or something like that?
Thinking this, Mu Bai shuddered and stepped back two paces.
Tang Shifu stepped forward to open the chest.
No danger occurred.
Inside the chest lay two glass vials containing a wine-red liquid, seemingly a potion.
[Strength Potion. Temporarily increases Strength by 10 points after consumption. No side effects after the effect fades.]
Tang Shifu picked up the test-tube-like glass bottle and read the identification.
“This should be the reward from the Supply Room…”
Mu Bai pondered.
“None of us have outstanding Strength. Let me hold onto it for now.”
Supply Room…
This name is quite interesting.
Precisely because it’s just supplies and not a true Site Treasure, it’s highly likely that only consumables can be drawn from the chest, and maybe some items only usable within the instance.
Otherwise, the total value of rewards obtainable from this kind of game-type trial station would be too absurd.
Mu Bai stepped forward to identify the chest itself.
[Game Supply Chest, can obtain consumables from it…]
Sure enough…
Not a Silver Chest.
Although she had already suspected it, Mu Bai still felt a faint disappointment.
If it were made of Silver, it would be worth bringing back to the train, but it turns out to be such a large lump of iron—even putting it in the [Portable Space] would waste space.
I’ve become picky, even looking down on building materials.
“Let’s move on. Hurry!” Mu Bai decided.
As a strong team on a fourth-level train, besides themselves, they are all top players.
With this lineup, it would be a waste not to compete for the Trial Treasure.
Going slower doesn’t guarantee safety either, so we might as well go all out and speed through!
Even if they encounter spirit-type enemies, Mu Bai doesn’t think a game station would have ghosts or monsters as strong as a boss from a supernatural station of the same difficulty level.
Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to fear!
In the previous room, Mu Bai chose the door to the right of the compass direction.
This time, Mu Bai pointed to the left.
Tang Shifu stepped forward and opened the door.
When all four had entered the new room, Mu Bai expected the other three doors in the previous room to be destroyed, but it was different from before.
Not only were they not destroyed, but the door leading to the very first room had also opened again…
It was easy to guess: the System was increasing the probability of player teams encountering each other.
If everyone minds their own business, it’s fine, but encountering someone intent on plundering would inevitably lead to a fight, and even make them vulnerable to backstabbing.
The door they had just passed through closed automatically.
Mu Bai shook her head vigorously, casting aside the distracting thoughts.
Whether the new room was safe was still uncertain.
She couldn’t afford to be distracted.
The structure of this room was completely different from the previous two.
The shape had become a rectangular prism, about the size of four square rooms, forming a long “corridor” with a door at each end.
The color and texture of the floor and walls had become smoother and harder.
In the center of the room were two enormous, unknown machines.
They weren’t precision instruments; they were roughly one story tall… robots?
As soon as Mu Bai discerned a humanoid outline from the two machines, she became alert.
If this wasn’t a hazard room, then it was most likely a monster room.
To get to the other side, they would inevitably have to pass these two things.
Two-person-tall monsters… and made of metal.
Tough customers.
Not just Mu Bai; the other three also sensed a threat.
They slowed their pace slightly and approached bit by bit.
When the four had covered about a third of the rectangular room, less than ten meters from the two robots, the semicircular, pot-lid-like “heads” of the two machines reacted, lifting upward, and their eye sockets emitted a red light.
Mu Bai instinctively thought the red light was lethal and was startled.
Ye Yin, beside her, immediately grabbed Mu Bai and pulled her back.
Tang Shifu stood still, not retreating with the other three.
“Tang Shifu!”
In her urgency, Mu Bai subconsciously called out her name.
Tang Shifu shook her head, indicating she was fine.
The next moment, the two giant robots charged simultaneously.
The nearest one leaped upward, clasped its fists together, and slammed down hard toward Tang Shifu’s position.
Debris flew.
Fortunately, there was no dust in the room, so nothing blocked their view.
Mu Bai clearly saw Tang Shifu charge forward the moment before being hit, evading the attack while swinging her fist with full force!
duang~~!
A teeth-grinding sound rang out, painfully vibrating their eardrums and even causing great damage to their spirit.
Looking closely, cracks had appeared on the robot’s chest like shattered bones!
Mu Bai immediately felt relieved about Tang Shifu’s safety.
Bang!
The pistol rang out, and compared to the previous spiritual attack, it was actually somewhat pleasant.
Ye Yin fired a shot, trying to hit the other robot.
But the pistol bullets only left a few dents on the gray metal surface.
Meanwhile, Mo Cha had vanished without a trace.
Ye Yin and Mu Bai had already retreated to the door, with no room left to retreat, while the second robot was still charging toward them.
“Give me the sniper rifle!”
The pistol could leave dents, which meant guns weren’t useless—just the caliber was too small and the destructive power too weak!
“Okay!”
A large sniper rifle appeared in Ye Xi’s hand out of thin air.
Since the M110 in the [Portable Space] was always chambered and ready, Ye Xi immediately pulled the trigger and fired!
Boom!
The close-range report of the sniper rifle was deafening, rivaling the sound of the metallic impact.
Mu Bai’s face turned pale, and she belatedly covered her ears.
Without a tripod or support to cushion the recoil, the muzzle jerked upward, and Ye Xi was slammed hard into the wall.
Fortunately, Ye Xi’s Strength was already quite high, and she had professional ways of handling recoil, so she wasn’t injured.
The robot that was just a few steps away had its head sent flying directly.
The “connecting column” linking head and body was broken.
Seemingly losing its main control, it swayed unsteadily, left only with the inertia of its charge, and ceased its attack.
Mu Bai quickly put the sniper rifle away and pulled Ye Yin to the side.
The robot crashed violently into the wall, its torso slightly deformed.
It propped itself on the ground, trying to stand up.
Mo Cha appeared at the right moment and stabbed her dagger with full force into the gaps at the joints of its limbs.
A crackling electric sound came, and gray smoke rose from the severed ends of its arms and neck, giving off a pungent smell.
However… this side was safe for now.
On the other side, under Tang Shifu’s quick and slow strikes, the first robot’s torso was also thoroughly destroyed.
It fell to the ground with a heavy thud, unable to rise again.
