Chapter 721: Chapter 505: Angry Iron Plate Stands Firm on the Earth (Break)_2

"Huff..."

In the cockpit, the short-haired girl exhaled a breath of turbid air, her pupils flickering with indigo light, as she turned to look at the boy beside her.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Guang’s expression was relatively calm, the dark golden color in his eyes flickering like a poor signal, the brilliance of True Intent flashing intermittently.

In the radiance, their Spiritual Power maintained a linked state.

"...The restriction is indeed a bit strong, but once you adapt, it’s okay."

"Hmm."

The girl suddenly grasped Lin Guang’s right hand on the control stick with her left hand, her palm feeling slightly slippery from the sweat that had seeped out, and said softly:

"...I was really excited just now."

—Her combat experience wasn’t much, in the past, piloting mostly required core assistance to judge the situation.

But this time.

The addition of Lin Guang turned what was originally a dual-core system into a tri-core one.

On the surface, performance seemed similar due to system suppression, but in reality, there was now a brain that commanded the entire situation, suddenly causing a qualitative change.

The accuracy during the earlier outburst was precisely due to this reason.

"With you here, it’s much stronger than when I was alone."

Lin Guang was slightly taken aback, then the corner of his mouth lifted: "This is just the beginning."

Zumama nodded, also revealing a bright smile.

"That’s right."

In the next moment, under external observation, the [Angry Iron Plate] leapt down from the volcano’s mouth.

It ignored the blue-green treasure chests on the rock wall, its leg booster module already activated, fiery flames shooting out as it flew through the air to the purple resource box surrounded by lava, extending its sturdy right hand to lightly touch the energy shield of the resource box.

The entire resource box popped open with a "boom," then transformed into countless points of light and disappeared.

A large, flickering purple backpack phantom appeared directly in the cockpit, at the top right of Zumama and Lin Guang’s view.

"Oh oh!"

The second unit’s Remyu immediately began commentary.

"The Angry Iron Plate contestant has also opened their own purple treasure box!"

"For those viewers who just didn’t switch perspectives, take a look!"

"This is the tactical backpack used to store supply items in this competition!"

"In the arena, all items are divided into three levels: green, blue, and purple, with purple being the highest grade level three backpack!"

"If there’s a backpack in the treasure box, all resources will automatically be stored in it! It seems Zumama’s luck is quite good, getting the highest level backpack right from the start, and the supplies inside..."

"Wow! It’s two purple, one blue!"

In the cockpit, with a single thought from Zumama, the purple backpack phantom unfolded in front of her, displaying a series of resource lists below.

Aside from having ten Tier Five General Ether Crystals, the most conspicuous items were the blue and purple tools.

—The former was a blue wrench icon, while the latter was a purple shield icon.

Meanwhile, Remyu also cast the supply system of this event to her livestream.

"The wrench icon represents the [Portable Retracement Device]!"

"To put it simply, it can use the power of the system to ignore common sense and repair the damaged parts of the machine. You can simply think of it as a health pack in a game!"

"A blue wrench can unconditionally repair 15% of machine parts, while a purple-grade one can repair up to 25%!"

"Don’t think that’s too little, as it’s equivalent to restoring a quarter of a machine out of thin air! If used well, it can even repair important modules all at once!"

"However, using it requires the pilot to focus and guide the progress bar for one or two minutes, so it can’t be used in battle!"

The red-haired girl shook her side ponytail with a smile and explained:

"As for the shield icon, it’s the [Barrier Energy Shield]!"

"A purple-grade shield, once installed, can withstand a lot of attacks, and even resist corrosive toxic fog to some extent! However, it requires caution, as although it’s faster than the portable retracement device, deploying the energy shield still requires a few seconds, making it very risky to use during intense battles, and the shield will thin and disappear over time."

"Additionally, though destroying other machines can gain their supplies..."

"Any machine can only carry one backpack with limited space!"

"Anything that doesn’t fit in the backpack, except for Ether Crystals, will be destroyed!"

Watching the Angry Iron Plate scour all the embedded treasure chests in the volcano’s mouth, Remyu’s energetic voice sounded again:

"Okay, so what will the Angry Iron Plate do next?"

"Will it continue searching the outer circle, or preemptively determine the first circle shrink position to move forward? Or perhaps hunt other contestants?"

The red-haired girl’s charming face showed a perfectly timed look of confusion: "...Hmm?"

Her reaction perfectly aroused the audience’s curiosity.

Under the confused and amazed gazes of everyone focused on this machine, this rough Steel Giant unexpectedly turned off the boosters under its feet.

The flames extinguished.

It descended straight down into the volcano’s mouth like free fall, into the still boiling hot lava.

"Whoa whoa whoa?!"

[Ah?!]

[Damn, I had my perspective locked on it. When it dropped, I thought I was going to get burned to death!]

[Wait, is it... absorbing energy?]

[Such fast speed! Such high conversion rate!]

Some commentator noticed something, immediately adjusted the angle to follow along.

—It was seen that the originally extremely active boiling magma of this volcanic mouth, after the Angry Iron Plate submerged, began to slowly stagnate, as if gradually losing its activity.
