Chapter 171-172: Free Shopping in Mechanical City

“I can sense the edge of that city. It seems incredibly vast; what we see is just the tip of the iceberg,” Alice said, closing her eyes.

Using her mental sensing ability like a radar, she perceived the surroundings.

The mechanical world gradually appeared in her mind. Behind those Mechanical City walls lay an unexplored new world.

“Let’s go take a look,” Luo Sheng said excitedly upon hearing her words.

He was planning to acquire a large number of cards, and a strange large city meant there would be many invading creatures inside.

He immediately stepped on the accelerator. With a loud roar of the engine, the motorcycle quickly approached the city.

It was an enormous Mechanical City. The building materials were somewhat similar to the Melon Base in Alice’s card world, but the appearance was vastly different. At the center was a huge steel fortress, with metal city walls encircling it layer by layer, spreading outwards.

Solemn and majestic, this Mechanical City stretched for over 10 kilometers, no less impressive than Pingcheng’s core area, exuding an imposing aura.

Luo Sheng frowned slightly, “The creatures here are likely to be high-level. You all need to be careful.”

As soon as he approached the Mechanical City, his spiritual jade began to issue warnings, indicating the danger within.

Luo Sheng put away his motorcycle, planning to explore the Mechanical City on foot. He summoned his mecha suit and put it on, casually tossing out Bai Moxue to hide in the darkness, ready to act at any moment.

Alice and Bai Moxue, his two exclusive cards, didn’t consume much of his spiritual power and could be maintained for a long time, maximizing their strength.

Luo Sheng slowly entered the Mechanical City.

The thick metal outer walls and metal-built houses formed a strange maze.

It gave off a sense of a medieval castle, except all the stonework had been replaced with steel.

“What a strange place. This Mechanical City might be some kind of domain card,” Luo Sheng pondered to himself.

Such a domain card should have surpassed the gold level, possibly even reaching platinum.

“There’s something in here,” Alice said with a slight frown. “It feels familiar to me.”

“A world fragment?” Luo Sheng asked, hearing her words.

Alice shook her head, “I don’t know. We’ll have to go deeper to find out.”

Her feeling made Luo Sheng curious, as previously Bai Moxue could tell him which cards she liked, and they turned out to be material cards.

So if Alice could say this, it meant the mechanical city possessed material cards belonging to her.

Just as he passed through a street block, he saw a mechanical man destroying the card box of a deceased Card Master. Numerous cards were being cut by its metal blade and ultimately shattered.

Alice suddenly rushed forward, her monomolecular wire transforming into a whip that could bend, instantly wrapping around it.

The mechanical man struggled continuously, even taking out an electric saw to try and cut the wire. Unfortunately, the monomolecular wire was extremely tough and couldn’t be cut. Instead, it entangled the electric saw, eventually destroying it.

Alice delivered a heavy kick, sending the mechanical man’s head flying, then immediately turned it into a card.

Luo Sheng picked up the card and looked at its back. It was a bronze 9-star 【A-type Terminator】. Its skills were quite ordinary, with a quality around the excellent level, not particularly powerful.

The card’s enhancement information flooded into his mind, revealing that this card could be fused and enhanced with mechanical worms.

Luo Sheng put these cards away.

He then walked over to the Card Master, who seemed to be from his own academy, but unfortunately couldn’t be saved.

In this world, being weak was a sin. Luo Sheng mourned for him internally and planned to contact the outside world.

However, he discovered that after entering the mechanical city, the signal had stalled or disappeared, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Even satellites were blocked.

“I can only give you a proper burial. May you be free from pain in heaven,” Luo Sheng said.

He summoned a mechanical mole to break through the steel plates of the city floor, digging out thick soil to bury him.

However, Luo Sheng had an unexpected gain. In the deceased’s card box, he found an intact white card.

【Close Door】

Level: White card.

Type: Functional.

Effect: Close doors regardless of any conditions.

Description: As long as it’s a door, there’s a way to close it, hmph! Even the neighbor Wang can’t open my door, and windows won’t work either!

What a great card!

Luo Sheng didn’t expect such an unexpected gain.

He took out the 【Open Door】 card that had always accompanied him, and now that he had found its nemesis 【Close Door】, he had a way to make others’ lives dysfunctional in the future.

“A large number of creatures are coming,” Alice warned.

“Attracted by the sound,” Bai Moxue also emerged halfway from the darkness.

Luo Sheng immediately felt the impending danger, but he remained calm and said, “Then I’ll prepare for battle.”

After speaking, he had Dongfang Muqing enhance Alice and Bai Moxue, and activated 【Fire Mage – Acoley】. Acoley in her purple magic robe appeared before everyone’s eyes.

As soon as she appeared, she frowned slightly, “Luo Sheng, you’re in danger.”

Bai Moxue immediately glared at Luo Sheng, her almond eyes narrowing slightly, her fire-red thin lips slightly pouting, carrying a faint hint of danger.

“Hmm, not bad, another beautiful lady~”

Luo Sheng coughed dryly: “She was the first card girl I acquired. Alright, we’ll talk about this after it’s over.”

Bai Moxue still glared at him disapprovingly, giving his waist a hard pinch.

Suddenly, red eyes appeared above the metal city, revealing half of a mecha robot’s head, followed by its body. The blue nuclear energy device in its heart was quite conspicuous.

Three more mecha robots appeared on both sides of Luo Sheng, with thin but sturdy armor.

Their movements were very agile and flexible.

The four mecha robots surrounded everyone.

They immediately activated the pulse engines in their hands, gathering strong electric currents to produce beautiful electric arcs.

Then they fired ion cannons at Luo Sheng and his group.

Luo Sheng and Alice leaped high simultaneously, Bai Moxue vanished into the darkness, Dongfang Muqing also quickly dodged, while Acoley summoned a fire wall for defense.

Instantly, explosions rang out incessantly.

These ion cannons were quite powerful, blasting craters in the metal walls.

Then they automatically tracked and locked onto targets, orange flames erupting from their feet as they quickly jumped into the air, each locking onto one of them.

Numerous micro-missiles appeared on the shoulders of the mecha robots.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

After a string of white smoke, these micro-missiles shot out, like sidewinder missiles, quickly pursuing their locked targets.

“I didn’t expect they would use this tactic too,” Luo Sheng was slightly stunned at this sight.

It was almost identical to his own mecha.

Perhaps they were a more advanced form, but Luo Sheng didn’t back down. As he activated the mechanical wings on his mecha, he also deployed the missiles on its shoulders, launching four micro-missiles.

They instantly collided with the missiles fired by the mecha robots.

Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions erupted one after another, causing the surrounding metal walls to vibrate from the shock waves.

After a cloud of black smoke, that mecha robot kept following Luo Sheng.

It approached with an upward thrust, raising its palm to lock onto Luo Sheng’s mecha, immediately accumulating energy for another shot.

However, Luo Sheng suddenly turned his head and smiled.

“You fell for it!”

The mecha robot that had been persistently chasing him was confused, this scenario clearly not within its calculated range.

Luo Sheng was seen holding a card 【Divine Arrow of Destruction】 between his fingers, which began to glow.

At a distance of less than 5 meters between them, an extremely high-temperature crossbow bolt shot out.

Before the mecha robot could react, it was pierced through. Even with its hard armor, it couldn’t withstand the 【Divine Arrow of Destruction】, instantly turning into a card.

Just as Luo Sheng finished his battle, Acoley also announced her victory.

Her battle was very nimble, constantly releasing fire walls, gradually restricting the mecha’s movement range, using high-temperature flame hurricanes.

She directly destroyed the mecha robot’s chips and wires, causing it to short-circuit, and finally melting it into a card with high-temperature flames.

Bai Moxue was about the same.

Hidden in the darkness, the mecha robot had difficulty locking onto her, so it could only trouble Dongfang Muqing.

Then Bai Moxue decapitated it with a golden pair of scissors, also turning it into a card.

Poor Dongfang Muqing could only serve as a target.

Only Alice’s battle was slightly slower.

She fought while circling in the air, entangled with her opponent.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Alice finally shot it down.

Luo Sheng picked up the card.
