Chapter 1256: Chapter 560 Substitute Service
"I won’t eat it if I don’t want to—I’m a person with the System, so I don’t want to eat those fluffy grasses!" Chun Li muttered pridefully, confidently carrying her mining pick deeper into the minefield, looking for an empty spot like the other pandas and began to dig diligently...
Even though in Eden, robots are responsible for arranging basic survival materials daily, it does not mean that the creatures here do not need to work. On the contrary, everyone is assigned a certain amount of work each day, and completing these tasks earns them a certain number of ’evaluation points’.
Mu You had specifically asked Chun Li about this evaluation system, which is essentially a rating system from a robot’s perspective: living creatures gain points by completing their assigned tasks, and points are deducted for breaking rules. Only when someone’s evaluation is positive do robots distribute survival materials daily; the higher the evaluation level, the better the survival materials.
If the evaluation is negative, not only will the supply of materials stop, but they could also be captured by robots and put into the ’dark room’ as a form of imprisonment.
The so-called dark room is not a prison cell but a type of sensory deprivation device. Wearing it renders a person completely immobile and deprives them of all senses; in a sense, it is a more terrifying form of torture than confinement.
According to Chun Li, when she was a child and too mischievous, she got negative points for throwing rocks at a robot and got to experience the dark room, after which she never dared to provoke the robots again.
"...Chun Li is wielding her pickaxe vigorously at the stone ground, when suddenly you feel a faint attraction coming from three meters to your left underground, seeming to hide something that is drawing you..."
"Oh?"
Mu You stared at the sudden prompt in surprise and quickly sent a message to Chun Li.
"Friendly reminder: There seems to be something buried three meters to your left underground, why not dig it out and see," your voice resonates in Chun Li’s mind.
Chun Li hesitated upon hearing this, quickly walked three meters to the left, tested the hardness of the sandstone with her foot, then swung her pickaxe again...
Underneath the sandstone, Chun Li unearthed a sparkling Crystal Stone!
"Healing Crystal!" Chun Li exclaimed, her mouth forming an ’O’.
Healing Crystal: A rare mineral, non-renewable resource, born in energy-rich strata with an extremely low probability, owning a weak ’Real’ attribute, usable for repairing mechanical items, including those from the Real World.
"Real attribute?" Mu You gazed in astonishment, followed by immense excitement.
Can it repair mechanical items from the Real World? That means it could be used to repair the Mechanical Heart?
Mu You hastily clicked on the entry to test it.
Healing Crystal (small): Can restore up to 0.11% damage of the Mechanical Heart.
It really works!
Mu You was relieved. Unfortunately, this small piece could only repair 0.1% damage, and since the damage to the Mechanical Heart was over 2.3%, he would need to find over twenty such stones to fully repair it.
But, nonetheless, he had finally found a way to repair it.
"It’s wonderful, System Master! Giving the Healing Crystal to the robot could add several points to the evaluation!" Chun Li excitedly said.
Seeing the situation, Mu You felt it wasn’t right. He urgently needed that stone; he couldn’t let her give it to the robot, thus he hastily modified the information in the game.
"Ding, a new option for exchanging Healing Crystals added to the marketplace; each Healing Crystal can be exchanged for 500 points, without limit."
"500 points?" The voice in her head startled Chun Li again, she swallowed her saliva: "500 points, that’s like ten servings of stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork... but the evaluation is also important... um..."
Chun Li held her head, caught in a dilemma...
"Ding, friendly reminder, the Healing Crystal can help this system repair its damage and unlock more functions."
"After exchanging the Healing Crystal, next time the host passes by a Healing Crystal, they will receive a system tip for free." Two subsequent mechanical sounds resounded in Chun Li’s mind.
Your continuous temptations eventually made the indecisive Chun Li decide to request an exchange of the gemstone...
You have obtained ’Healing Crystal’ (small) *1.
After gaining ownership of the crystal, Mu You immediately extracted the gemstone.
A crystal that was only the size of a pigeon’s egg, yet incredibly clear and translucent appeared in his hand.
Mu You picked it up and closely examined it with the Omniscient Crystal; this thing truly originated from the Star Spirit World but magically possessed certain properties of real objects.
This could only mean that the soil that nurtured it must contain components from the Real World.
"So the ’core’ of the Star Spirit World is made up of soil separated from the Real World..." Mu You mused.
Suddenly, a caterpillar crawled from his shoulder onto his palm, curiously looking at the crystal in his hand then suddenly tried to bite into it.
Unfortunately, the stone was too slippery and hard; the caterpillar chewed for a long time, leaving only some saliva on the stone, causing no damage.
"This isn’t something to eat..."
Mu You chuckled as he pinched it and placed it back on his shoulder, gave it a leaf from the Tree of Life, and then put the crystal away.
This crystal was precious, and using it publicly would easily attract the attention of robots, so it was better to repair it after returning home.
Next, Mu You hurriedly urged Chun Li to continue roaming in the minefield, looking for other crystals.
"Three o’clock direction, five meters away underground, there is a suspected gemstone..." Your prompt voice resounded in Chun Li’s mind once more.
