Chapter 372: Chapter 229: The Thing That the Factory is Producing (Second Update)_2

Although it sounds simple, the amount of computation needed for each process is rather significant. Fortunately, Black Tech is a tough guy who can mentally calculate integrals, able to work it out in a moment’s notice.

Also, because Xiemen Waidao’s pitfall was too excessive, the entire production line became exceptionally rudimentary. Each step was chilling to the bone, and the cost plummeted from the estimated sixty thousand to six hundred.

“We’ve cut costs by ninety-nine percent, we are really awesome.” Watching the materials cart hopping around, Xiemen Waidao couldn’t help but feel impressed.

“Yeah, it’s just a bit tough on the materials cart. Ah, another one broke.”

Mukuai 1234, nibbling on Xiemen Waidao’s merits, felt not a hint of guilt in her heart.

After all, even if she didn’t eat it, he himself could squander it all, so she might as well eat it up.

However, as she kept eating, Mukuai 1234 also started to feel a little confused.

“Happy Adventure” had a clear Great Heavenly Lord vibe to it; even deliberately restrained to some extent, one could still sense the presence of Great Heavenly Lord.

But here, there was no such feeling.

Great Heavenly Lord had no need to conceal the traces of Mana, for that was the lingering charm of the strong. If there was nothing at all, it could only mean this was not the handiwork of Great Heavenly Lord.

So, whose handiwork could it be?

Moreover, coming back to it, even the previous “Fang Cheng My Boss” had some aura of Great Heavenly Lord. Could their appearance here be related to this matter?

As time accumulated, more and more players were sent to the bottom of the factory.

The brand-new construction mode offered them a new point of interest, and many players began to discuss building methods and share their construction designs online.

Every player believed this was an Easter egg from Fang Cheng Studio, and the studio’s members were no exception.

However, there were still two members who found themselves lost in confusion.

After countless challenges, Mysterious Mirror finally found the red Teddy Bear, then endured the fear of the place and, with an extreme stroke of luck, reached the last level and was sent here.

And he was this lucky because he encountered an old acquaintance.

Liuzi, and the Goddess of Art who followed.

One was garishly colorful, the other equally so. The poor artistic taste made Mysterious Mirror’s eyes uncomfortable, and even Liuzi felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, being a comic artist with a bit of taste, it was kind of a letdown for his fans to see him like this.

When Liuzi learned that “Fang Cheng My Boss” was the previous Teddy Bear, he remarked that they played quite fancifully, and felt this gag could work in his own comics as well.

They added each other on the chat app Feixin and began to explore the dark corridors while chatting on the messaging software.

After listening to Mysterious Mirror’s explanation, Liuzi said, “So, you mean you’re a tester, and you’re here to test the game?”

“Yeah.”

“Is the bar for testers this low now? I thought your skills would be a bit better.”

“That’s what you think. Isn’t the Goddess of Art by your side lacking in artistic cells too?”

“Slandering a god will bring retribution!” the Goddess of Art shouted angrily.

“Why don’t you take a look at my ID first, then tell me who’ll get retribution first?”

The Goddess of Art glanced at Mysterious Mirror’s ID, feeling her words just now weren’t very sensible.

Continuing down the corridor, they discovered at the end of the road was the control room for a production line.

Without plugging himself directly in, Liuzi surveyed the surroundings and felt that something was off.

This Easter egg felt a bit rough to him.

An Easter egg from Fang Cheng Studio should feel more natural, giving the impression that it was meant to be, even to the point of changing the whole gameplay of the game.

But this Easter egg seemed like another gameplay mechanic was forcibly added to the original game. It was fun, sure, but it felt like it lacked a bit of impact.

Could it be that Fang Cheng Studio had started playing fancy too and began adding fake Easter eggs?

While Liuzi was pondering, the Goddess of Art, who was idly wandering around, suddenly asked, “Liuzi, why did you suddenly decide to play this game? Didn’t you say you were so rushed with your comics that you were about to vomit blood?”

“Yeah, but Xiemen Waidao actually dared to challenge me. He said I’d never trigger the Easter egg here in my lifetime, so I’m going to show him what a champion is,”

“…Don’t you think this is just Xiemen Waidao using reverse psychology on you?”

“…”

“You haven’t thought of that this whole time, have you?”

“…”

“Or is it that you’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately, so you want to log on and have some fun with him?”

“How could that be!”

Liuzi rudely interrupted the Goddess of Art and pointed to one side, “Is it possible to break through the wall? I want to take a look next door.”

It was highly unlikely for the Goddess of Art to have such power.

Although she was a god, this place had already left the Heavenly Tao network, and her powers were greatly limited, making it difficult to penetrate this area.

But Mysterious Mirror was different.

Its body was personally refined by Fang Cheng. Though it looked just like an ordinary teddy bear, its strength was actually comparable to that of a small mecha.

Confidently nodding, Mysterious Mirror took a fighting stance and threw a furry fist at the wall, shouting, “Little Bear Dark Infinite Break!”

With one punch, the wind surged and the colors of the sky changed!

The solid wall was shattered by its blow, and a five-centimeter-thick steel plate behind it was skillfully punctured, revealing an unimaginable destructive power hidden beneath its cute appearance.

Taking the lead into the hole, Mysterious Mirror waved and said to Liuzi and the Goddess of Art, “Let’s go, let’s continue the investigation.”

“The tester is really remarkable,” remarked Liuzi.

“The Great Heavenly Lord is truly remarkable,” the Goddess of Art couldn’t help but exclaim, then followed Mysterious Mirror inside.

Next door was another production line, but players were no longer visible; only the material carts speeding along could be seen.

Materials were produced on the production line and then transported as raw materials to the next station.

After watching the materials for a while, Liuzi said, “These look a bit like armor plating for mecha. What’s the purpose of manufacturing them here?”

“To make money?” the Goddess of Art asked, puzzled.

“Is there any use for money in this world view? Let’s go look elsewhere.”

Jumping onto a material cart, the three bears followed the cart’s path and soon discovered that the cart quickly entered another location and continued to be processed.

Each production line was part of a large production line, which in turn was part of an even larger production line.

If it wasn’t for Mysterious Mirror breaking the wall, they would never have discovered that these production lines were organically combined and formed a massive and complex assembly line.

Initially, these assembly lines were repaired by the players.

However, as the material carts moved forward, the three bears found that the products of the production lines had merged with an existing line.

This particular line had been idle for quite some time, as it required overly stringent raw materials, and most of it had been damaged.

But with the arrival of the players, this production line finally began operating, continuously bringing in raw materials to produce its items.

Through their observations along the way, Liuzi developed a suspicion.

Even though most of the production lines seemed useless, looking at the big picture, not a single line was without purpose; they were all serving the final product.

The whole factory was like a massive DNA factory, constantly combining its own products using existing templates, spawning their greatest creation.

Riding on the material cart, they continued forward and finally saw a colossal object deep within the factory.

It was an immensely large mecha, with the factory’s products being delivered without end to construct this massive mecha.

Its location was so hidden that it would be utterly undetectable by non-professionals.

It was the true object of production in this factory.
