The last building on earth

Wang Xuan took out all these crystal scales. There were not many in total. There were only 152 crystal scales in total, but 23 of them were twice as large as the crystal scales they normally saw. The remaining 129 crystal scales were only the same size as the ones they normally saw. Exactly the same as what they usually see.

"What's going on with this crystal scale?" Wang Xuan took a crystal scale twice as big and asked Yao Tiande.

Yao Tiande hurriedly explained: "This is a medium-sized crystal. It can be exchanged for small-sized crystals in the exchange area. The ratio is one to one hundred."

Wang Xuan nodded and understood that the crystal scales are divided into small and medium sizes. The 1109 crystal scales he now owns are all small crystals. Every 100 small crystal scales can be exchanged for 1 medium crystal scale. .

In Wang Ziren's storage belt, these 23 are medium-sized crystals. If exchanged, they can be exchanged for 2,300 small-sized crystal scales.

Putting away all these crystal scales, he now has 23 medium-sized crystal scales and 1,238 small-sized crystal scales.

In addition to crystal scales, there are also 45 bottles of intermediate nutrient solution and 32 bottles of high-level nutrient solution.

This advanced nutrient solution is a good thing. Each bottle requires 20 small crystal scales.

Wang Xuan also collected them. In his Xumi Mustard Seed space, he now has 60 bottles of primary nutrient solution, 177 bottles of intermediate nutrient solution, and 32 bottles of advanced nutrient solution.

Among the spare pieces of second-level fine-quality equipment, Wang Xuan chose a second-level fine-quality fearless helmet, replacing the second-level ordinary-quality iron helmet he had been wearing. The remaining pieces were distributed to everyone.

Looking at two more parchments, Wang Xuan opened one of them, and Zhao Lei squatted next to him, helping to open the other.

Wang Xuan looked at the parchment in his hand, and there was a line of words written on it.

"Quest name: Call of Cerberus, difficulty: ★★★★★★"

Seeing the difficulty, Wang Xuan was surprised. Looking at the bottom, it read the reward: Cerberus Fang.

"Cerberus Fangs?"

Wang Xuan suddenly remembered that at the end of the corridor on the first floor, there were four districts: southeast, northwest and southeast. The first three districts could be entered freely. Only entering the north district required the Fang of the Cerberus.

"With the Cerberus Fang, you can open the door to the North District and trigger the hidden mission of the King's Legend. We have always suspected that this King's Legend is related to the King's Certificate."

Zhao Lei also came over and saw the parchment in his hand. His first reaction was to scream: "The difficulty is six stars? That's outrageous!"

With the strength of a group of them now, they may not be able to complete the five-star difficulty "Centipede Hunter" task, let alone the six-star difficulty task.

"No wonder Wang Ziren got this parchment but didn't complete this task. Even he can't do it with such difficulty." Zhao Lei shook his head.

Wang Xuan looked at the address of the hell dog summoning mission, which was at the Hell Tower at the end of the Worm Kingdom in the north of Worm Town. Looking at the difficulty, he thought that this Hell Tower must be extremely dangerous.

Putting away the parchment, he looked at the one Zhao Lei had just opened. There were only a few simple lines of words on it.

"Task name: Helping others. Difficulty: None. Task content: Help ordinary people obtain hatching beasts and grow. The more people you help, the higher your growth will be, and the greater the reward you will receive. The minimum reward is to help a person grow to a rudimentary form. , a rust treasure chest will be awarded, and the highest reward is to help no less than ten people grow into a sub-body, and a bronze treasure chest will be rewarded."

Looking at this task, Wang Xuan was a little curious and said, "Helping others? This task is a bit interesting."

Zhao Lei said: "Helping ordinary people get promoted? Where do ordinary people come from here?"

Wang Xuandao: "Did you forget that you can go back to the underground parking lot? You might be able to meet ordinary people who just came in there."

Zhao Lei was moved in his heart and said: "If you put it that way, this task is not difficult. By helping ten people grow into sub-bodies, you can get the same bronze treasure chest as the five-star difficulty task."

Wang Xuandao: "It's a pity that this task is too time-consuming."

As he spoke, he shook his head and temporarily put away the two parchments. The Cerberus summoning task was too difficult, so he was not considering it for the time being. As for the task of helping others, it would take a certain amount of time. He was now in a hurry to get promoted and break through. No time to do it.

Looking at the map again, he originally thought it was a map of Insect Town, and was about to take a quick look and put it away. When he opened it, he found that it was not a map of Insect Town, but a map of Scorpion City.

Looking at the map, Scorpion City is very big and looks very complicated inside.

"Map of Scorpion City. This Scorpion City is located to the west of Insect Town. I didn't expect that there is such a huge city to the west of Insect Town." Wang Xuan said while putting away the map of Scorpion City.

Yao Tiande said on the side: "Scorpion City is very dangerous, much scarier than Centipede Island. Only people like Wang Ziren and others who have broken through to adulthood dare to enter. The people who have broken through to adulthood in the entire Chong Town are probably there."

Wang Xuan hummed and said: "So, there are very few people who have broken through to adulthood and stayed in Insect Town?"

Yao Tiande said: "Of course, since they can break through to adulthood, they are all people with extremely high talents, which is equivalent to what we used to call geniuses. Naturally, they all want to become stronger, so they can only go to more dangerous places. Let’s try our luck in Scorpion City.”

Zhao Lei was moved in his heart and said: "It seems that the four directions of this insect town are more dangerous than the last. If we calculate it this way, is the insect country in the north the most dangerous and scarier than Scorpion City?"

Yao Tiande said: "Generally speaking, newcomers will go to the Snake Domain, where there is no danger. When they reach adulthood, they basically enter Centipede Island in groups. Especially if they want to enter the depths of Centipede Island, the more people they need, the better. , the number of people is too small to dare to go in, and the strong ones who have broken through the adult body can go to Scorpion City, but the Insect Kingdom in the north... It is said that it is the base camp of the Insects, and usually no one can go in. I heard Huang Tao I said that you can only enter when there is an insect tide every once in a while.”

"Insect tide?" Wang Xuan, Zhao Lei, Tie Jun and others all looked at Yao Tiande.

Yao Tiande nodded and said: "Yes, I have only been here for more than a month, and I have never experienced it. Huang Tao has been here for a long time, and he said that he has personally experienced two insect tides. I remember that when he said that, he still had a lingering look on his face. He said that when an insect tide occurs, countless insects will appear from the Insect Kingdom in the north, submerging the Insect Town like a flood. The sky and fields are filled with all kinds of terrifying insects, including centipedes, scorpions, spiders, mantises, etc. Waiting for various insects.”

When Yao Tiande said this, he stretched out his hand and gestured: "Although I have never experienced it, I still felt horrible when I heard what he said. He said that whenever the number of people gathered in Chong Town reaches about two thousand, there will be Triggering an insect wave, almost half of the people were killed or injured in each insect wave. The two times he experienced it, he said that the most terrifying one was the second time. In the insect town with more than 2,000 people, only a few hundred people survived in the end. In the end, it seemed that people from above came and things calmed down, otherwise the group would be wiped out that time. It is said that the above took action in this case, which violated certain rules. Generally speaking, the world above cannot interfere here. For this reason, the above world He paid an extremely heavy price, and it is said that he left a message because of this, that it would be the last time to help. If there is another insect wave after that, even if the insect town is destroyed, the higher ups will no longer help."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan, Zhao Lei, Tie Jun, Li Haotian and others looked at each other and saw the shocked expressions on each other's faces.

"There is such a thing..." Wang Xuan murmured to himself, looking towards the direction of Chong Town in the distance. He thought of entering Chong Town before and saw that there were many people active in the square and trading area.

"Then do you know how many people there are in Insect Town now?"

Yao Tiande said: "According to the time mentioned by Huang Tao, the last insect wave was about two months ago. As for the new people who enter here, the average number is estimated to be thirty or forty people every day. If we count based on the number of people who enter, it will be early." It has exceeded 2,000 people. Of course, people will continue to die, and some people will be sent away in half a year, so the specific number is difficult to estimate. But fortunately, the five major forces have strictly registered newcomers. If you join the Xuan Gang, It should also be registered. On the one hand, you can collect crystal scales. On the other hand, it is also equivalent to counting the current number of people in Insect Town. The specific number of people, the core personnel of the five major forces must know."

"But if calculated based on time, the interval between the two insect tides Huang Tao experienced was three months, so a new insect tide should not be far away."

Zhang Haofei's injuries recovered a little. He stroked his chest and walked over. Hearing these words, he took a breath and said: "Damn, this insect town is really not a place for humans. There is actually an insect tide. I originally thought If I really can’t go out, it’s not bad to retire here. Anyway, I don’t have the love of my parents outside, so it doesn’t matter where I go. It’s better to fight for dominance here and raise a few women to live happily.”

Gu Manyao also regained some energy. When she heard Zhang Haofei say this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said: "How many more do you want to raise? You are so shameless."

Zhang Haofei laughed and said, "Aren't all men the same? There are regulations outside that say you can't marry more than one, but there shouldn't be that here. Wang Xuan, you're right."

Gu Manyao said unconvinced: "I think there are more men than women here. How many more do you want to marry? Who will marry you? I think it's enough for women to find a few more husbands."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Wang Xuan couldn't help but look at Gu Manyao and said, "Gu Manyao, how many more husbands do you want to find?"

Gu Manyao blushed and spat: "Wang Xuan, you are talking nonsense. I am not talking about Zhang Haofei just saying that he wants to marry more people. Who said that I think so? Of course I hope to be able to be together for the rest of my life. But in a place like this... it’s too luxurious to talk about love, and it’s more important to think about how to survive.”

Zhao Lei sighed and said: "Yes, people outside used to say that love needs a material foundation, and love without bread has no future. Only when I got here did I realize that any material foundation, bread, and love are all bullshit. Getting down is the most important thing.”

Wang Xuandao: "You can't say that. Fighting and killing every day makes people feel too tired. It would be good if they could really find a woman to talk about love and spice things up."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "So Wang Xuan, you want to fall in love?"

Wang Xuandao: "Don't you want to?"

Zhao Lei thought for a while and then said: "I don't know, it seems that I really haven't had this idea so far. Maybe I am nervous every day, thinking about what to do tomorrow, and I don't have time to think about it."

Tie Jun coughed lightly and said: "Wang Xuan, if you want to fall in love, you have it ready in front of you. I think you and Gu Manyao are a good match. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match."

As soon as he said this, Gu Manyao blushed immediately, but did not say anything against it.

Wang Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Tie makes sense, otherwise it will be settled like this."

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Gu Manyao, what do you say?"

Gu Manyao blushed, neither objecting nor agreeing.

Yu Shanshan looked at Wang Xuan and Gu Manyao with envy, and then quietly glanced at Bai Yan beside her.

Bai Yan still sat silently and watched.

Tie Jun smiled and said: "If you don't object, it means you acquiesce. I have been through this matter and I am familiar with it."

While chatting with them, Wang Xuan continued to check the remaining items in the intermediate storage belt. In addition to some daily necessities, the most important ones were five bottles of glassware filled with liquid and four crystals.

He took it out, opened the eye of the illustrated book, and looked at them one by one.

Among these five bottles of glassware, there is one bottle of primary physical strength water, one bottle of primary night vision water, and three bottles of primary healing water.

Wang Xuan originally also received a bottle of primary physical strength water. He knew that after drinking this physical strength water, he could quickly recover his physical strength. And after drinking primary night vision water, he could temporarily obtain the effect of seeing in the dark for a long time. For six hours, if you drink the primary healing water, you can recover from any serious injury in an instant.

In the previous battle, Wang Ziren was hit by Zhao Lei's Holy Cross Light and his internal organs were seriously injured. He once drank a bottle of primary healing water.

These five bottles can be regarded as treasures. This Wang Ziren is indeed not simple. These treasures must have been opened from treasure chests obtained by completing tasks or hunting certain powerful monsters, and the level of this treasure chest is definitely not low.

Looking at the remaining four crystals, one is an initial alloy mechanical armor, one is an explosive crystal, and two are initial mechanical head armors.

This initial-state alloy mechanical armor is the same as the initial-state mechanical head armor and the Goblin mechanical armor equipped on Xiaoguai. They are all shells used to equip mechanical beasts.

Picking up the heart of the mechanical beast that was peeled off from Wang Ziren's body on the ground, the owner died, and the mechanical beast became an ownerless thing again. Wang Xuan opened the heart of the mechanical beast, and the crystal mask inside appeared. Four of the six crystal slots are inlaid with crystals.

They are the initial state power assembly, the initial state alloy mechanical armor, the initial state mechanical head armor, and the initial state mechanical leg armor. It is precisely because of these mechanical shells that Wang Ziren's mechanical beast is so huge. If these shells were removed, his mechanical beast would not be much bigger than Xiaoguai.

Wang Xuan took off the four crystals embedded in them one by one, and then opened Xiaoguai's crystal faceplate.

The initial Goblin mechanical armor did not need to be replaced, so he installed the crystals of the initial mechanical head armor and the initial mechanical leg armor.

Then started Xiaoguai.

Immediately, the heart of the mechanical beast began to change violently. With a crackling sound, the little boy continued to expand, and soon turned into a dog made of metal machinery, and then a goblin mechanical armor made of green scales. Covering the body, the initial mechanical head armor was wrapped and fitted to its head, while the mechanical leg armors were connected to each other, covering its originally slightly slender and short legs.

Immediately, Xiaoguai's body seemed much larger. Although it was still in the form of a dog, its body was already the size of a small calf, making it a true giant mechanical dog.

It moved slightly, and there was a sound of mechanical gears turning all over its body. Wang Xuan was very satisfied. The current Xiaoguai was a qualified mount. He could definitely ride on it, just like the mechanical solo horse ridden by Xiao Bichen of "Phoenix". wildebeest.

Others looked at Xiaoguai's real form and looked envious. Wang Xuan took out another mechanical beast heart, added the mechanical beast heart left by Wang Ziren, and said: "Now there is an initial power assembly. You can activate another mechanical beast, Gu Manyao, do you want it?"

He remembered that Gu Manyao couldn't put it down when he saw Xiaoguai, and now that he had another initial powertrain, he thought of giving it to her.

Gu Manyao looked at him with surprise and nodded.

"There are two mechanical beast hearts, one is a wolf, and the other is unknown."

"Once a drop of blood goes in, it can't be changed. Just pick one."

Gu Manyao thought for a while and chose the unknown.

Thinking that the wolf used to be Wang Ziren's mechanical beast, she was a little reluctant to take it. It would be better to choose this unknown one, which might give her a surprise.

"Then you drop blood on it and activate this mechanical beast."

Under Wang Xuan's guidance, Gu Manyao dripped blood onto the heart of the mechanical beast and opened the heart of the mechanical beast.

Wang Xuan gave her the extra initial power assembly, initial mechanical head armor, and initial mechanical armor.

Gu Manyao put these three crystals into the crystal list of the heart of the mechanical beast. Unfortunately, the leg armor was missing.

Wang Xuan also had an initial mechanical head armor and an initial alloy mechanical armor in his hand, so he put them into the crystal surface of the mechanical wolf. However, without a power assembly, the mechanical wolf could not start. .

Yao Tiande watched on the side and sighed: "The heart of the mechanical beast is not uncommon. It must be sold in supply stores, but the powertrain is scarce and difficult to get."

Gu Manyao activated the heart of the mechanical beast he had just obtained, and soon a huge mechanical fox appeared. However, it lacked leg armor, making it appear huge in body, but its limbs were slender and short, like a giant dachshund.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

Gu Manyao said with joy on her face: "Why are you laughing? It's because I'm missing leg armor. Maybe I can get it soon, hum." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. The mechanical fox connected with her and immediately pounced on her. In front of her, he made a coquettish gesture in her arms.

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Would you like to give it a name?"

Gu Manyao said happily: "Of course, yours is called Xiaoguai, and mine is called Daguai."

Wang Xuan was speechless and said, "Why is mine called Xiaoguai, but yours is called Daguai? Are the names reversed?"

Gu Manyao smiled and said: "Don't you know that ladies are given priority? Seeing how elegant my little boy is, she must be a vixen. I believe my little boy will agree too, right?"

As she spoke, she looked towards Xiaoguai. Wang Xuan never expected that Xiaoguai was really nodding his head as if he understood, making a sound of metal turning.

"This guy is crawling all over the place." Wang Xuan was so happy that he couldn't help but want to kick him.

Zhao Lei laughed loudly and said: "Is this mechanical beast divided into genders? Are there male and female ones?"
