Chapter 1704: Chapter 433: Star Fall Message: Buried History

Faced with the fierce counterattack of the mechanical flood, the players’ assault became even more intense.

Once the Free War Mode ended, the United Battle Group swiftly activated their battle formation to fight back.

As one player put it: Avoid the Mechanical Army’s edge? That’s simply defying the heavens. Let’s confront it head-on and see who’s intimidated first!

In "Savageblood", players feared nothing.

Even the Black Tide, which could infinitely counterattack and corrode everything, was treated by them as a regular instance to grind, let alone these mechanical creations that followed fixed logic.

And the Mechanical Army’s combat mode, not understanding the players, opted for an energy-saving mode.

That is, focusing on close combat and reducing large-scale energy releases.

Additionally, by recycling battlefield mechanical debris, they swiftly reshaped and generated new war troops, bursting soldiers on-site.

This cycle of "war nurturing war" is indeed very effective in normal war modes.

But this time, the Mechanical Army faced the players.

Players’ lives are so robust that even Divine Realm powerhouses can’t erase them.

Comparing who has a tougher "fate", engaging in a war of attrition, is just thinking their own resources are too abundant.

The only thing troubling players was just one issue.

The Mechanical Army’s logic determination continually escalated with the intensity of warfare, its speed and strength upgrade too fast, leaving players unsatisfied and getting locked into the Little Black House for self-isolation.

Soon, the Mechanical Army on the battlefield turned into a Destructive Torrent.

When the appearing mechanical troops’ Hunting Level exceeded 150+, and with numerous top-tier Mechanical Soldiers joining the battle, the player army faced complete defeat.

Following the aftermath of the war, discussions on the forum about the Mechanical Army invasion were still fervent.

Players reviewed the war process, complained about the intensity, lamented the loss of sacrificial power, and looked forward to the next raid.

In the meantime, Xie Yu, a member of the forum research group, was also sorting information about various mechanical troops appearing in this battle.

At this moment, a private message notification suddenly sounded.

He opened it to find a message from a player with the ID "Battlefield Scavenger".

"Boss, are you there? There’s something I’d like to ask you to check out, you’re the most knowledgeable about these weird things on the forum."

Then, the person sent over a few screenshots and a brief description.

The pictures displayed a completely black, smooth stone, about the size of a baby’s fist, looking quite unremarkable.

The accompanying decomposition screenshot showed that it was an Information Stone recording data.

Battlefield Scavenger continued to describe:

"I picked this up on the battlefield of the Land of Chasing the Sun just now, completely different from other Energy Stones. I used spiritual power to touch it, and found a whole bunch of chaotic things inside, energy guidance techniques, Qi Blood flow charts, and recipes for various unheard herbs... it looks like a Martial Arts Skills Manual? It seems useless, and practicing with it is very troublesome, far inferior to our Life Soul System, which is straightforward and brutal."

"I asked Guidance about its value... the answer given to me was that it has no value at all."

"But I think perhaps there might be a Hidden Task. The Mechanical Army releasing this item is too unusual. Boss, you’re experienced, could you carefully research this thing for me? Or is this just a garbage database collected by the Mechanical Army? If it’s useless, I’ll toss it to Brother Di Zhao for a bit of sacrificial power, but it won’t be worth much money..."

After hearing the player’s description in the private message, Xie Yu immediately became interested.

Investigating background information is precisely his hobby.

This seemingly ordinary Information Stone storing martial arts system data might have a forgotten history worth researching.

"Brother, if you trust me, why not leave the Information Stone with me for a while? I’ll study it."

"No problem, this useless thing just takes up space here. Boss, you research it at will," Battlefield Scavenger readily agreed.

Soon after, through the game’s trading system, Xie Yu got hold of this black Information Stone.

He eagerly attempted to use spiritual power to touch and read it.

As the player said, the information was extremely vast and structurally chaotic, seemingly having suffered some kind of shock.

The encapsulation technology of the Information Stone itself was extremely primitive and rough.

He could barely capture some fragmented image snippets that resembled simplified diagrams of energy running paths, and a few segments of chanting with oddly tuned tones.

Unable to piece together a complete context.

Unable to find answers, he decisively consulted Guidance, seeking more related information.

Guidance’s reply was that unexplored region information reading required consuming 12,939 sacrificial points.

This made Xie Yu curse bitterly.

Turns out it wasn’t impossible to read, just that reading required payment.

This is not a task for him to research the origin; it’s blatantly looking for a fool.

But driven by curiosity, Xie Yu still wanted to investigate the information behind the Information Stone.

He immediately set off to the Imperial Tomb Village library, where players had organized various illustrations, battle reports, and information deciphered from enemy debris after multiple engagements with the Mechanical Army.

Spending extensive time, he meticulously perused the information storage methods of the Mechanical Army.

But he found nothing.

The library contains no records of this black Information Stone.

The storage media typically used by the Mechanical Army are energy crystal encrypted chips or direct cloud transmissions.

This stone medium with traces of "handcrafted craftsmanship," encapsulating information so primitively and awkwardly, completely clashes with the Mechanical Army’s high-technology style.

Ultimately, Xie Yu, biting the bullet, chose to spend over ten thousand sacrificial power to have Brother Guide provide an answer.
