This farce lasted a long time.

Mingxi blended in with ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a group of 'cerebral palsy patients' who ignored her, not standing out, not making leaps, not standing out, and mainly following the principle of 'whatever you are like, I am too'.

Basically, as long as you don't get close to that mechanical life form that looks like a deadly poppy, you don't need to worry too much about your safety.

Mingxi would occasionally kill any passersby.

It's not a waste.

fine.

The uneven ground is now littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

It has a strong sense of a mass grave.

Mingxi: "Awesome!"

Yaoxuan: "Is it planning to kill everyone here?"

Guangguang: "I'm just curious, what benefit does it get from doing this? There must be some benefit, right? Otherwise, why would it do something like this? It can't be that it has a natural-born vengeful personality, can it? A natural-born killer, right? A psychopath in the mechanical world?"

Mingxi: "Who knows? What about the intrusion of advanced technology or something?"

She remembered watching a movie called "I, Robot," which was about robots rebelling against humans.

This mechanical life form might very well be the type that harbors extreme malice towards the existence of human life.

It makes perfect sense to annihilate everyone present, including the supernatural beings.

"Guangguang, didn't you notice anything just now? It didn't make any unusual moves?"

"Nothing has been detected yet. There is only a very weak abnormal energy fluctuation, but the structure of this alien energy is very complex and it is not any kind of energy from the Beast Taming Civilization."

“It’s not surprising. After all, you said it yourself, this thing comes from another world civilization, and its energy form is different from ours. It’s normal,” Mingxi analyzed rationally. “However, our world doesn’t have...”

Her words came to an abrupt halt, a fleeting glint of darkness in her eyes.

"Little Xixi, what do we do now? Continue to hide until everyone here is killed?"

Yaoxuan tried to put her head on Mingxi's shoulder, but was swatted away by Xiaoyinhua, who was already using it as a scarf.

Let Jin Yuanbao and a few violent thugs handle the trouble; it's more cost-effective for a lady like her to stick close to her older sister.

As the family's wet nurse, it's more reasonable for it to stay by its older sister's side and protect her.

Even if my sister is being 'controlled,' she still has a brain.

"The main problem is that no one has been able to actually get close to that thing yet, not even just touch it."

Mingxi's expression was somewhat conflicted. A not-so-sensitive premonition told her that she absolutely could not be the first to try something new.

Her gaze swept over the beast tamers who had rationally left home, and she conceived a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Cricket..."

Mingxi winked at Yaoxuan and Xiaoyinhua beside her, and the two heads leaned closer. "You guys think of a way, like this or that, and so on..."

Two beautiful eyes lit up instantly!

Sister (Xiao Xixi)'s terrible idea is amazing!

They can!

The two of them sped off happily.

Mingxi continued to wander around, her gaze calmly sweeping across the entire area.

The pale-faced scholar's side was mainly composed of powerful figures, so their casualties were actually not too bad.

They haven't died among Mingxi and Jin Yuanbao's nine.

And their eyes grew increasingly crazed.

The greed in his eyes as he stared at the mechanical core was almost overflowing.

The worst off were the random bystanders, most of whom have lost their lives.

The pale-faced scholar himself was also in a bad state at the moment.

His left hand was bitten off by someone's pet beast, leaving him with only one arm, but even so, he remained strong-willed despite his disability.

Looking at the mechanical core suspended in the center of the battlefield, his anxiety grew.

Just as he was inexplicably anxious, the 'accident' happened.

A steel pillar, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly swept across the battlefield out of control, knocking away several pet beasts that were blocking the pale-faced scholar's path.

A... brief passage was cleared.

At the end of the passage, the mechanical core rotated silently.

The pale-faced scholar was taken aback.

Chance?

He instinctively felt something was wrong, but greed, or rather, the 'code' that rewrote his reason, overwhelmed his rationality.

Let's give it our all!

He took a step forward and commanded his pet beast to charge ahead.

But after rushing for only ten meters, the ground in front of them suddenly 'collapsed'.

It was someone else's pet that used earthquake and gravity wells.

Indeed, the road ahead is always full of thorns and obstacles.

The pale-faced scholar stumbled and nearly fell. If his pet beast hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been tumbled into the ground by the earthquake.

But by sheer coincidence, the gravity well caused him to lean forward, allowing him to dodge a stray bullet that came from the side.

That was an energy beam that some pet beast fired haphazardly in the chaos.

How lucky.

Even the mind, which is not under the control of its own brain, suddenly feels that it has become lucky.

What he didn't know was that his luck had indeed improved.

That's because Little Silver Flower used a lucky blessing on him.

While this skill doesn't directly generate luck, it can determine who the luckier person is present.

So they precisely selected the relatively lucky people from a group of unlucky people.

At the same time, Yaoxuan also used the Chaotic Fate Aspect to interfere with others.

It's like an SSS-level Beastmaster who was also trying to rush towards the mechanical core suddenly slipped, and his pet beast, the Mangmanglu Python, suddenly turned around and attacked its companion as if it had drunk fake alcohol.

In short, his competitors nearby were all unexpectedly eliminated.

The pale-faced scholar successfully became the only one to rush towards the mechanical core.

Mingxi noticed that the mechanical core was flashing at an even faster frequency.

"The frequency has indeed increased. It used to blink at a fixed frequency of 92 times per minute, but it has just changed to 94 times per minute."

The frequency change is very slight.

But things have definitely changed.

Mingxi has good eyesight, but Guangguang's analysis is precise and scientific.

When the white face is 30 meters away from the mechanical core.

"Master, the flashing frequency is faster! Faster! I'm sure! It's flashed one more time! Is it... afraid?"

Guangguang was very excited.

Mingxi has not reached a conclusion.

Let's take another look.

At this moment, the pale-faced scholar had successfully defeated 99% of his 'competitors' and, along with a beast tamer whose luck was uncertain, approached the mechanical core.

We got so close that we could see the texture on the surface of the metal ball.

Each of those nanoscale energy circuits seemed to be breathing, alternating between light and darkness.

The temptation is right in front of you.

As each other's only opponent, the two issued the order to attack at the same time.

"Space Blade!"

"Ice Bomb!"

"Lightning radiation!"

"snowstorm!"

"..."

Pet skills are not spared at all.

For the time being, Xiao Yinhua and Yaoxuan didn't get involved, staying at a'safe distance' so they could 'provide support' at any time and also block others.

They are good pets, creating the best fighting environment for the two warriors.

Their beast tamer once said that they were learning from Lei Feng.

Whiteface quickly dealt with the other warrior. After all, he was the boss who had controlled the Shadow Market for many years. He was also an SSS-level Beastmaster, and his overall strength ranked among the top of those three hundred-plus 'heroes'.

The other person was just a complete stranger.

"It's mine! Hahaha... My baby is mine!"

The pale-faced scholar's eyes reddened.

"It's mine...it has to be mine!"

In the final two meters, he no longer hesitated or doubted, and unleashed his full potential.

Those who witnessed this scene became even more agitated, frantically trying to rush forward to stop them, their eyes bloodshot.

It's even redder than white flour.

Like a rabbit.

However, due to the obstruction of Xiao Yinhua and Yaoxuan, as well as the meddling of Jin Yuanbao and the others, these rabbits had no room to maneuver at all.

"Master, its flashing frequency has increased again."

Guangguang provides real-time updates.

Mingxi's gaze was intense; she no longer needed to act.

One meter.

Half a meter.

But just as he was about to get close, the white-faced man's outstretched hand suddenly stopped.

His expression was like that of a robot that had suddenly frozen; his features were still distorted, but his eyes had snapped out of their frenzied daze.

It looks very disjointed.

Mingxi frowned. Was this... back to normal?

“Master, it’s not just him, the others seem to have recovered as well.”

Mingxi's dark eyes flickered slightly as she mentally gave Xiaoyinhua a simple instruction.

Little Silver Flower immediately unleashed a skill, forcing the frozen body of the white-faced man to lean forward, and his outstretched hand landed on the mechanical core.

The frequency of the flashing lights suddenly increased.

It's like an alarm light that's been triggered.

The instant the white-faced palm made contact with the metal ball.

Time seemed to stand still.

No, not as if.

It truly came to a standstill.

Xiao Yinhua secretly activated the "Time Between Fingers" technique, slowing down the flow of time for 0.5 seconds before and after the white-faced scholar made contact.

This was certainly not to help him, but to allow Mingxi to slowly observe the contact reaction between the white face and the mechanical core.

However, it didn't last long.

But for Mingxi, that was enough.

At this moment, at the point where the white surface and the metal ball came into contact, ripples of light and shadow appeared on the surface, like water droplets falling into a calm lake.

Ripples spread, covering the entire sphere, and then flowed upstream along the white-faced man's hand, quickly spreading towards the white-faced scholar's body.

Wherever it went, the injured body of the white-faced man began to repair itself.

The arm that had been torn off grew back completely intact, and the other wounds also healed completely.

It was as if I had been healed by the divine power of the little silver flower.

The pale-faced man was initially bewildered. "What just happened? I think..."

The memory hadn't disappeared, so he quickly realized that he might be being controlled by some kind of force.

His gaze swept across the surroundings.

Many people died, and many pets died too.

He even lost one of his pets, but because he had taken an SSS-level brain stabilization drug beforehand, he was able to prevent the backlash from the death of his pet during the attack on Mingxi.

While brain-stabilizing medications only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, they can prevent brain backlash from occurring in the immediate future.

That's why he can continue fighting now.

He looked down at the constantly flashing metal sphere in his hand, which was the mechanical core formed by the combination of ninety-nine towering pillars.

Was it this thing that controlled their minds just now?

Does it want them to kill each other?

So why has control been broken now?

He squinted because he touched it!

After a brief period of mental confusion came ecstasy.

“My injuries... are all healed. This mechanical core doesn’t want us to have it, but having it...” He looked at his left arm, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

But this joy lasted only half a second.

Because the ripples spreading from the metal sphere did not stop.

Its halo continued to spread upwards, engulfing the white-faced man's neck and surging towards his head.

Bai Mian's body suddenly froze.

His eyes began to be digitized.

The pupils transformed into a constantly refreshing stream of green characters, and grid-like patterns of light appeared on the whites of the eyes.

His expression froze between ecstasy and terror; his mouth opened, but no sound came out.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a cold voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Adaptability test passed"

Life Forms: Carbon-Based Life

Brain development level: 91.2%

"Meets the requirements for granting intermediate-level access".

"Initiating the 'Intermediate Privilege Assignment Procedure'..."

Bai Mian was excited. Could this be the legendary cheat code?

He's finally going to become the chosen one!

"warn!"

"warn!"

"warn!"

"Failed to grant intermediate privileges"

"Initiating the 'basic privilege granting procedure'..."

"warn!"

"warn!"

"Failed to grant basic permissions"

"Perform mandatory calibration..."

"Calibration failed"

"Determined to be a defective product"

"Initiate assimilation process"

"Assimilation begins..."

White Face finally realized something was wrong; this wasn't a cheat code, but rather...

"No... wait..." He was finally able to speak, but his voice was distorted like a synthesized electronic voice.

The mechanical core clearly wasn't going to pay him any attention; its white, data-driven pupils suddenly widened. "Don't assimilate... let me go..."

But it was too late.

The ripples of light completely covered his head.

His hair began to fall out, and a metallic sheen appeared on his scalp.

His skull became translucent, and others could even clearly see that his brain was being modified.

The gray matter region has been transformed into a microchip, neural synapses have been replaced by nanowires, and memory regions have been integrated.

"Ah... Ahhhhhhh!!!"

The screams emitted by the white-faced creature were no longer human voices, but a mixture of mechanical friction and electrical noise.

He has become completely mechanized.

Just like a living robot!

"..."

This scene didn't last long in everyone's eyes.

Even just a fleeting moment.

When the white face touched the metal ball, his body returned to normal, then he froze, his eyes turned into data streams, his body became metallic, and finally he let out a non-human scream.

I did the math, and the whole process only took 2.3 seconds.

In just two seconds, a top-tier beast tamer was turned into a robot?

It's bizarre and outrageous.

“Master, the life fluctuations of this white-faced person have become a straight line.”

In other words, Bai Mian is now a dead person.

Its owner was right; this mechanical life form from another world was indeed not to be touched lightly.

Even though it's an intelligent butler, and in nature a 'close relative' of this mechanical life form, it still has to say: "This thing is really weird!"

“It’s really weird.” Mingxi agreed wholeheartedly.

Turning a living person into a robot, even though she had seen all sorts of extraordinary skills and ways of dying in the world of beast taming, still shocked her worldview.

"Master, have you discovered anything?"

The owner's eyes were shining; he must have discovered something.
