This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1257 - 560 Substitute Service_2

[Chun Li’s face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly rushed forward to begin mining...]

[Underneath the sandstone, Chun Li once again unearthed a Healing Crystal...]

This kind of Crystal Stone was indeed rare; according to Chun Li, this minefield spanning tens of miles could only produce one crystal per month on average, and whoever found it was considered to have hit the jackpot.

And now, just by walking around the periphery of the mine for half an hour, Mu You had once again received a treasure notification.

This suggested that the mechanical beings here also lacked the means to detect the location of these gems, whereas the Mechanical Heart could, which could only mean that the technology of the Mechanical Heart was more advanced than the standards of Eden, implying that the Mechanical Heart was likely not created by these mechanical beings.

["Eh? It’s a Healing Crystal!" Just as Chun Li was about to carefully remove the crystal from the ground, a voice rang out, followed by a broad palm reaching in, rudely grabbing the Crystal Stone along with the soil before Chun Li could.]

[Through Chun Li’s perspective, you see four burly Tauren youths standing in front; the gem was in the hand of one of them.]

["Give it back to me, I found that crystal first!" Chun Li immediately shouted in anger.]

["What’s the use of you finding it first? Whoever gets it, it’s theirs!"]

["Exactly!"]

["I could also say we saw it first, too bad you were too slow..."]

["The object is in our hands now, so it’s ours!" The Tauren youths laughed jokingly, not taking Chun Li seriously at all.]

[Chun Li, flushed with anger, clenched her fists tightly, glared at the four with a fighting stance, but after hesitating for a moment, she chose not to continue the argument and silently walked away...]

[Seeing Chun Li retreat, the four youths burst into loud laughter.]

[Chun Li’s face grew even redder at the sound of the laughter, but all she could do was cover her ears and walk away faster.]

["Not going to snatch it back?" you suddenly ask.]

Mu You was somewhat surprised, given the situation just now he had thought the girl was about to erupt, but she backed down instead?

["Granny said, the Tauren are the first among the seven races to have entered Eden; in a few days, they will be arranged to enter the hibernation zone, so the Tauren have been acting more blatantly recently. Granny told us to try to avoid conflicts with them as much as possible lately..."]

Mu You expressed his understanding; it’s like those students who just got their diplomas and are about to leave school, with no concerns left, they would naturally behave more recklessly than usual.

["Also... I can’t beat them..." Chun Li added reluctantly, grinding her teeth.]

Mu You found it amusing; obviously, the latter reason was the real cause of her hesitation to strike.

The girl knew when to be humble and was ready to back down, however, Mu You couldn’t let her just walk away like this.

This gemstone was a non-renewable resource; who knows how many more could be found in this mining area, and each one was precious to him, how could he let these kids take it away?

["Temporary mission issued: Retrieve the Healing Crystal!"]

["As a protagonist blessed by the system, how can you be humiliated? Teach the Tauren a lesson and take back what’s yours. Mission completion reward: one Invisibility Cloak."]

["Invisibility Cloak!" Upon hearing your voice, Chun Li was immediately overwhelmed with joy, hurriedly turning back to look at the four Tauren, but upon comparing the size difference between them, she lowered her head in dejection: "But I can’t beat them..."]

["The system can provide a ’substitute fighting’ service, which can be exchanged for just 10 points, would you like to exchange now?"]

["Substitute... fighting service?" Chun Li seemed puzzled.]

["You just need to grant the system access to control your body, and let it guide you without resistance."]

Substitute fighting, this was also a new function that Mu You had just discovered.

Currently, Chun Li was like his external power source, continuously providing energy for him, but as a living person, her functions weren’t limited to just being a power supply.

To put it simply, the Mechanical Heart’s role was to assemble various mechanical components and control these components to perform various actions.

And since Chun Li had arms, legs, a torso, she could be considered a ’mech’ with all internal organs included, so naturally, if the Mechanical Heart could operate a Mecha in battle, it could also use her as a Mecha to fight.

Of course, a Mecha was an inanimate object, hence it could be controlled without restrictions, whereas Chun Li was a living being - her brain always had a higher priority for bodily operations. The precondition for manipulating her was that her conscious mind couldn’t resist Mu You’s will; any slight refusal would render this possession-like control impossible.

["Okay, if you can really snatch it back... I’m willing!" Chun Li, seeing the Tauren youths still mercilessly mock her from afar, spoke resolutely.]

[You have obtained temporary control over Chun Li’s body!]

[Under your control, Chun Li became expressionless, her every move mechanical.]

[While the four youths were leisurely leaving, you suddenly made Chun Li rush forward, swinging in a full circle, hitting a Tauren in the face and knocking him to the ground.]

[The struck Tauren youth, clutching his swollen cheek, turned around, staring at you in disbelief, the other three also looked at you in surprise.]

[After a few seconds, they realized what had happened, and immediately got furious, all charging towards you with a rain of fists aimed at you.]
