Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 781 - 682: Distant Signal

Kane was at the bar, chatting with Burton for a while before leaving the Guild Hall.

With a flash, Kane once again appeared in his office.

He had finished dealing with the matters that needed his attention.

The territory was developing in an orderly manner, and there weren't many things requiring Kane's attention.

So Kane would typically spend a certain day each month handling some matters that required his decision and the current intelligence.

He got up and walked outside.

Soon, he returned to the laboratory at the center of the cliff.

Although he might have his residence in the land of dual mechanisms, he spent most of his time in the laboratory. Even if he traveled to improve governance or explore space, he would set the return coordinates here.

This saved Kane some time, as he mainly cycled between the Platinum Country, the Guild Hall, the laboratory, and the sealed space.

At this moment, the laboratory was empty, with only the automatic machines and the intelligent core floating in the air, still operating.

It seemed that Star Symbol and Funa were out on some errand.

Kane directly sat down on a nearby chair, and magic power surged from his hand. A machine part gradually started to twist and change in Kane's hand, guided by his thoughts.

This was a way for Kane to relax, preparing to rest for a while before continuing his research.

Honestly, the leisurely days during this period made Kane a bit unaccustomed.

Many preparations before the opening of the Platinum Country had allowed them to achieve what other Explorers saw as their ultimate goal within a few months.

To have their own territory in the Platinum Country.

Kane not only had that but also a vast area.

At this moment, the creature always by Kane's side, Yoyo, raised its head again, its camera-like monocle looking up at the sky.

The top opened with a gap, and a long antenna extended out.

Seeing this, Kane immediately furrowed his brow, then expanded all of his senses. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, he didn't notice anything unusual around him.

Based on Yoyo's current state, it didn't seem like danger was approaching.

It seemed more like it had received some kind of signal and was carefully receiving and probing it.

So, Kane remained on guard, waiting for Yoyo to respond.

About a minute later, Yoyo turned back around.

It said to Kane, "Master, I just received that type of information again, this time clearer."

Information from before?

Kane suddenly remembered, it seemed it was when he had just exited the sealed space that Yoyo received that piece of information.

But back then, Yoyo said it was too far away, and the signal was too weak, disappearing before it could be received and deciphered.

And now it had received it again?

Looking at Yoyo's serious expression, this message might not be simple.

"What did the message say?" Kane asked.

However, Yoyo shook itself: "I don't know, this time I only had time to decrypt a few words before it disappeared.

Moreover, the reason it felt unclear and couldn't be received before wasn't just because of the distance. It seemed to have been interfered with at certain stages; otherwise, it wouldn't be so fragmented now, with only a few scattered words."

"What words were decrypted?" Kane asked curiously.

The fact that this information could be interfered with suggested it was some kind of secretive or potentially a distress signal type of information.

"Come… assist… death."

Yoyo directly conveyed the words it deciphered, yet upon hearing these, Kane had no idea what the message meant.

But looking at these words, it might just be something like a distress signal.

Thinking of this, Kane confusedly asked, "Isn't such information quite common? Why did you react so strongly this time?"

One must know that the World Ring is currently in a period of conflict, and the entire World Ring is engulfed in war.

Moreover, as an area transformed from a Dungeon, many forces might possess technology similar to this.

Such signals can be received at various intervals and aren't really surprising.

So Kane couldn't understand why Yoyo reacted so strongly this time?

There must be some reason why Yoyo cared about this piece of information.

Responding to Kane's question, Yoyo explained, "Because the way this signal was sent, I've encountered it long ago."

"Encountered signal's method?" Hearing Yoyo's explanation, Kane became serious.

After all, in a world of magic, information transmission might utilize magic, magic power, or even divine magic.

And many other unknown forces.

Such state in information transmission offers a certain level of confidentiality; you might know someone is sending a signal, but it's nearly impossible to decipher it.

Yoyo could receive and decrypt because it is intelligent machinery.

Furthermore, it had been modified by Kane, the Mechanical Master, with a communication device decrypted from the God of Machines.

It carries something akin to rules.

And during such information transmission, due to their differences, they bear a very distinct signature, rarely encountered in the exact same form.
