Chapter 796: Mad King Castle’s First Mad Facility, the Mad Gear!

Midnight.

Tong Qi and the other women returned one after another. When they heard about Zhang Liang, they immediately wanted to go see him.

Zhang Liang now held a status similar to a national treasure and a mascot.

“Hubby, are you coming too?” Xu Ruyan looked at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang was speechless. “Why would I go? I’m the one who brought him here. And if you want to see him, why not just have him come over himself?”

The women realized he had a point. But after Xu Lang put it that way, Zhang Liang’s air of mystery instantly faded, and they weren’t so eager to see him anymore.

After that, they each began asking about the matter of connecting with Earth.

“It’ll only take a day or two. There’s no need to rush.” Xu Lang shook his head, then asked, “How did your exploration of the world go this time?”

Although he had kept an eye on the women’s movements, he hadn’t watched them frame by frame. He only peeked in when something unusual happened to one of them.

“Haha!” At that, Xu Xiaomeng perked right up. “We completed three Legendary missions and one Epic mission this time. And Sister Yazhi even brought you something good.”

Han Zhixiu smiled. “We were doing a Mythical mission at the end. Gathering information took a little extra time, or we’d have finished it by now.”

“Mythical missions aren’t that simple. Be careful.” Xu Lang shook his head, then looked at Wang Yazhi.

Wang Yazhi hesitated, but finally spoke. “Xu Lang, there’s something I need to tell you. It’s about Aunt Luo.”

“Hmm?” Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.

When Wang Yazhi said that, the women all fell silent.

“The Demigod Serum Aunt Luo made is called Prometheus. Every serum needs an original subject.” Wang Yazhi carefully chose her words. “And it seems the original subject for the Prometheus serum was Tao Tao’s father!”

A flicker of surprise crossed Tong Qi’s eyes. She hadn’t expected Luo Lin to be hiding such a huge secret.

Xu Ruyan looked intrigued.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly burst out laughing.

“And then?” Xu Lang asked.

Wang Yazhi took a light breath. “The Mythical mission we’re doing is to kill Prometheus!”

All the women stayed silent, waiting for Xu Lang to say what he thought.

Seeing that, Xu Lang shrugged. “Why are you all looking at me? You chose the mission yourselves. You can deal with it yourselves.”

The situation was certainly surprising, but Wang Yazhi and the others had the freedom to choose what to do.

“That’s good.” Seeing that Xu Lang had no particular inclination, Wang Yazhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Noticing the serious atmosphere, Xu Lang smiled. “Tell me about this great thing you brought me.”

Wang Yazhi smiled too and took out a pile of raw materials. “These are the materials for a Mad Facility. We can make a Mad Turret now!”

They had drawn up a complete plan before heading to the Zombie Attack world this time, with a clear objective in mind.

“Not bad.” Xu Lang’s eyes lit up. “But I don’t think this counts as a gift for me, does it?”

With Wang Yazhi leading the team, things couldn’t go too far off course. So Xu Xiaomeng managing to gather the materials for a Mad Facility was something he’d expected.

“And there’s this, too.” Wang Yazhi took out an Ability Potion. “This is a biological force field Ability Potion. I think it could be a big help to you.”

Xu Xiaomeng eagerly added, “DC’s Superman has this power too. You can’t develop the skill the way you can a Sequence ability, but if you keep leveling up, Lang Ge, you might become a god among men!”

Xu Lang took the potion and examined its information.

【Nightmare Eye · Ability Potion: After injection, awakens the ability “biological force field.” Spreads the user’s life force outward, extending it to disperse pressure and reduce impact. The force field can also cover other beings and interfere with matter...】

“Very nice. This fills out my Tech-side abilities!” Xu Lang smiled and injected himself with it.

According to the system’s rating, biological force field was a Level 25 Epic skill, in the same tier as Electromagnetic Force Manipulation.

Although both were science-side skills, they weren’t suited for Fusion. That is, unless Xu Lang could also find gravity, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction. Then he might be able to come up with something interesting.

It was worth noting that on Earth, the four fundamental forces were gravity, the electromagnetic force, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction. But on other Tech-side worlds, the fundamental forces weren’t necessarily the same.

Even science differed from one world to another.

“Hahaha, right? Right?” Xu Xiaomeng laughed. “Other people might not be able to balance the mysterious and the scientific, but Lang Ge, you’ve said that your Spirit talent lets you use many different kinds of skills.”

“Thanks for thinking of me.” Xu Lang nodded.

“Xu Lang, let’s start making the Mad Facility.” Han Zhixiu’s eyes sparkled as she suggested, “A turret with no attack-speed limit. I really want to see what it looks like!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

After Mad King Castle had been upgraded, it gained two more Turret Slots. Now, four whole Turret Slots were empty!

……

【Description: Look at how rusted I am. Can’t you let me stop working?】

The Mad Gear was a bizarre turret made of twisted sheet metal and gears. Its barrel had no rifling, and its inner walls were covered in reverse-threaded grooves.

A monkey doll wearing an asylum straitjacket sat atop the turret. Its mouth opened and closed, its shouts keeping time with the firing rate.

“Kill! Slash!”

“Die, all of you! Hahaha!”

“Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!”

“Red light, stop; green light, go. I say, pick up the pace and fire for me!!!”

The monkey doll shouted, its voice shrill and filled with boundless madness!

The test subjects were the Bio-Androids mass-produced in Luo Lin’s dormitory!

With every attack, the Mad Gear’s attack speed increased. In less than thirty seconds, nearly a hundred Bio-Androids were dead!

In Dormitory 30-29, Luo Lin was dumbfounded.

Its attack speed had already surpassed that of ordinary turrets by far!

“Don’t stop. I want to test it out!” Xu Lang was eager to try. He called out to Xu Xiaomeng, who was operating the turret, then charged straight out of the dormitory.

Xu Xiaomeng understood at once and aimed the barrel at Xu Lang.

Purgatory’s Master left its sheath. Ghost Qi and scarlet Blood Qi wrapped around it as it carved dazzling arcs through the air.

Xu Lang slashed at the bullets!

The Mad Gear’s Lethality was only eight thousand. He could take it.

Thirty seconds later, with ten bullets firing every second, he was starting to struggle!

A minute later, with thirty bullets firing every second, the monkey doll’s frenzied laughter rang through the entire corridor!

Players poured out of their rooms to watch Xu Lang VS the Mad King Turret!
