Similarly, [Scorpion Dragon]'s [Stone Phantom] will also face similar restrictions.

When it is summoned during the action phase, it will automatically bear the damage for the card behind it.

And because it is summoned only after all card actions have been determined, it cannot even assume a [Defense] stance in this action phase.

This change is quite alright.

Li Pu feels it is more reasonable and fair, and it doesn't really hinder his constant bug-exploiting.

However, he truly believes that each update seems to be related to his recent gameplay, which is quite peculiar.

After digesting the version update, the next task lies in the rewards from the dungeon.

The first thing, of course, is to use the S-level skill light orb on the little ugly wolf.

Li Pu sensed the position of the three summoned beasts, all within the campus.

The scarecrow is with Bu Bu, and they are moving quickly.

He speculated that the scarecrow is probably carrying Bu Bu to execute the task he assigned before entering the instance: Assassinate Wu Guinan.

As for the little ugly wolf, it is likely busy marking territory, and it's quite close to them.

There is enough distance to transmit specific telepathic information, so Li Pu called it over.

After dealing with that, there were two other spoils left.

The unknown metal piece and the large pearl radiating energy.

"I don't recognize this thing of yours."

When Li Pu took it out, Ah Yajun just waved his hand.

"But I know someone who does, don't bother asking the teachers."

"She's probably more efficient than the trading post."

But he immediately added.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Pu became interested.

"You can find Xiu Lijia, she specializes in Life Systems Mechanical Subjects."

"Their department spends their days researching these peculiar things."

Ah Yajun provided the answer.

"Is that right."

This reminded Li Pu of Wang Nuonuo's senior roommates.

At that time, they were also in some mechanical department, constantly tinkering with strange stuff and doing various research and experiments.

It seems Xiu Lijia's position at Imperial University is quite similar to those seniors.

Looking for her might truly yield an answer.

"Then help me make a call to ask."

Sensing that the little ugly wolf had already arrived downstairs, Li Pu promptly dragged Ah Yajun along with him.

[Howl Bo Bo!]

Upon arriving at the door of the card room, the little ugly wolf immediately called out to Li Pu joyfully.

But seeing its posture of lifting its hind leg, it was clear it was preparing to urinate at the card room door.

"Don't cause trouble."

Li Pu reached out with his foot and nudged it aside gently.

This guy has recently urinated on many street lamps, caught multiple times but still unrepentant.

This kind of place, can it urinate freely?

[Woo Bo Bo!]

Having just felt the urge to urinate, it was abruptly interrupted halfway through, and it couldn't help but shiver on the spot.

Li Pu didn't waste words with it, directly took out the skill light orb of [Soul-Eroding Electricity] and pressed it against its forehead.

As expected, the little ugly wolf met the acquisition conditions, so the light orb directly fused into it.

[Bo the Bo?!]

The surge of sudden power caused the little ugly wolf's eyes to brighten.

It had changed!

Got stronger!

Really wants to urinate!

"Hold it back."

Li Pu directly lifted it up by the neck.

Then he checked its panel, and sure enough, there was an additional skill.

Not bad, an S-level skill is indeed powerful, elevating the little ugly wolf's strength almost up to Bu Bu's level.

Unfortunately, there's no current place to experiment, and Rolling Turtle is probably busy.

Rolling Turtle: Stop chasing! Help!

"Go, find some secluded area to urinate."

"That's where the real unmarked territory is."

After throwing the little ugly wolf out, Li Pu planned to accompany Ah Yajun to the Mechanical Department.

The Mechanical Department sounded like a place with various mechanical instruments.

He really dared not bring the little ugly wolf there, as any damages to precision machinery would bankrupt him.

[Howl Bo Howl?!]

But his words unwittingly gave the little ugly wolf a new idea.

So it cheerfully went to find some remote campus area to urinate.

Unexpectedly, the Mechanical Department was not far from the card room, the two reached it in less than 10 minutes.

The massive, technological-looking hemispherical building had already caught Li Pu's attention long ago, though he didn't know its specific purpose.

"This way."

Having received the call, Xiu Lijia was waiting at the door, waving to the two upon seeing them.

Unable to have a conversation at the door, she led them inside.

"So many robots."

Entering the building, Li Pu saw all kinds of robots.

There were humanoid ones, and non-humanoid ones.

Standing on two feet, treaded, hovering – everything was there.

Moreover, quite a few of them seemed intelligent, receiving orders from individuals in white coats.

"Feels like I'm engaging in research too now."

Ah Yajun glanced at the white coat he was given upon entering, Xiu Lijia had given each of them one.

"So, what brings you to me?"

Upon reaching the lounge, Xiu Lijia poured them cups of self-service coffee and sat down.

"Want you to take a look at this."

Li Pu directly took out the piece of metal.

After a month in the dungeon together, everyone had become familiar, so he skipped any formalities.

"Oh?"

Seeing such a large piece of metal, Xiu Lijia's eyebrow raised slightly.

First, she touched its texture, then knocked it lightly to test hardness, and closely examined it for a moment.

"Please wait a bit, I need some identification equipment for this thing."

Leaving this statement, she stood up and left.

Five minutes later, Xiu Lijia returned with a laser gun equipped with a small display screen.

"Step aside a little."

She handed each one a pair of safety goggles, then signaled them to stand behind her.

"This surface layer is actually impurities."

Explaining as she activated the laser gun in her hand.

"Impurities?"

This explanation came as a surprise to Li Pu.

He had judged the quality of this metal based on its weight and surface appearance, yet... it's just impurities?

The laser beam shone upon the metal surface, burning for nearly 30 seconds before gradually melting a small hole.

Then the three present smelled a peculiar metal scent, neither good nor bad.

Revealed within the small hole was a part that emitted a dark gold light.

Which looked greatly different from the metal's entire outer shell.

"They really are impurities."

Even Li Pu could see it now.

Following, Xiu Lijia turned off the laser and scanned the small hole.

[Beep!]

The laser gun's screen displayed a string of gibberish that Li Pu and Ah Yajun couldn't understand.

"Wow, where did you find this thing?"

But Xiu Lijia could understand it.

"Have you heard of You Shijin?"

"This is an extraordinarily durable inter-world metal."

"Primarily used for nurturing metal-consuming summoned beasts or as reincarnation material."

"But under certain conditions, it also possesses excellent deformability."

"Thus it can be used as auxiliary material to enhance metal-type inscribed devices."

"It can not only improve the hardness of inscribed devices but also make them flexible."

"The specific flexibility can't be clearly explained at the moment."

"In general, it's considered between B~A level material, judging by its size, it could be significant."

Initially, when Xiu Lijia mentioned it could be used for reincarnation, Li Pu first thought of the scarecrow preserver.

But listening further, he conceived new ideas.

"As for metal-type inscribed devices, I do have one."

The scarecrow's [Iron Bone], was it possible to enhance it?

So he sent out Telepathy, calling the scarecrow who was conveniently running nearby.

But the scarecrow still needed some time to arrive, so he took out the second item.

"Could you also have a look at this?"

The large pearl emitting energy glow.

"Ah, this!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Upon seeing the item, Xiu Lijia's expression immediately changed.
