This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

The goblin laboratory is the most high-end scientific research institution in Clockwork City, a place that specializes in alchemy.

This kind of important place is naturally extremely guarded, but Mu You has the ability to disguise, so it is not difficult to sneak in.

Now that his needs for weapon accessories are basically settled, Mu You is ready to go to this so-called laboratory.

But before he had time to move, a prompt popped up in the game.

[You saw a mechanical beetle running towards your feet along the gap in the ground, and climbed up your shoulder along the leg bones of the mech. 】

[You scouting beetle has reported to you a piece of news that you may need. 】

[It learned from the conversation of two elderly goblin workers that the 'clockwork clock tower' built 800 years ago is located in the center of the city and is responsible for the timekeeping work of the whole city. 】

[Because of the special significance of the clock tower to the clockwork city, if you want to keep the time accurate for many years, you need an extremely precise and wear-resistant main gear. At that time, the level of alchemy of the goblins was not enough to produce such precise accessories. It is said that in order to build the clock tower, the chief designer had to place a precious "golden gear" in the core mechanism of the clock tower...]

"oh?"

Mu You stared blankly.

He was about to go to the goblin laboratory, but he didn't expect the news of the golden gear to come just in time.

The bell tower mechanism, which needs to maintain a high degree of precision, uses a golden gear, which is reasonable in principle.

But after all, it was more than 800 years ago, and the specific facts have yet to be verified.

After thinking about it, Mu You decided to go to the bell tower first to confirm whether the information is true or not.

【You are walking towards the central street of Clockwork City...】

[You have come to the tower of the Clockwork Clock Tower. 】

[The Clockwork Clock Tower is the core timekeeping device of the entire Clockwork City and one of the most important buildings in the city. All the goblins and machines in the city use its time as the basis for their daily work and life. Once the time of the clock tower is out of order, the whole city may fall into chaos and stop. 】

[You are hiding in the blind spot under the bell tower, and you have activated the 'Detect Sand Spider Nest'. 】

[Mechanical spiders the size of gravel crawled out of the spider's nest, quickly crossed the ground, and crawled towards the top of the clock tower...]

Detecting the sand spider nest, this is a detection device that Mu You accidentally found in the clockwork city, an epic alchemy prop, after activation, it can immediately produce 160 mechanical sand spiders, which last for one hour, and each Only have super climbing, jumping and detection ability.

When these sand spiders leave their nests, they leave behind an invisible spider silk, which can extend up to two kilometers away. Any information detected by the sand spiders along the way will be reported to the main body in real time through the silk thread.

[The group of sand spiders quickly climbed to the top of the clock tower, and penetrated through the gaps in the surrounding walls. A series of complicated and precise mechanical clock structures constantly emerge in your mind...]

[The cluster of densely meshed gears could not prevent the sand spiders from sneaking in. One of the sand spiders finally reached the core of the bell tower after going through many obstacles. 】

[You saw the only small golden light and shadow among the countless gray and black gears. 】

[Golden Gear: A gear with the characteristic of "permanence", which cannot be damaged or worn out in any way. 】

"It really is!"

Mu You's eyes lit up, he didn't expect the rumors eight hundred years ago to be true!

No wonder gears with eternal characteristics are so precious.

This thing is an accessory specially designed for the long-term stable operation of advanced instruments, and there are probably not many in the entire clockwork city.

The first-generation conversion device made by the old goblin before was a test product for pathfinding, just to verify the feasibility of the idea, and replaced it with a lower one. But for formal production, if you want to maintain the stability of the conversion device under high pressure for a long time, you must have something like a golden gear.

In this way, the sources of the two mission props are all found.

However, this clock tower is the timekeeping device of the entire Clockwork City. Once the clock tower breaks, all robots' concept of time will be disordered, so even if they know something is inside, they can't rush to do it, otherwise they will expose themselves in advance.

The golden gear will talk about it later, let's go to the goblin laboratory first.

[You have come to the front of the goblin laboratory. 】

[This is a large academic base covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres. It is one of the areas with the strongest armed forces in the entire clockwork city. There are a large number of heavily armed guard robots patrolling outside, and there are various types of monitoring on the walls of the base. device. 】

[You switch to a disguised form: a cleaning robot. 】

【You swing the dust removal brush on your forearm to clean up the dust along the road, and gradually approach the gate of the base. 】

[You crossed the security line, the surrounding guard robots are doing as usual, continuing to patrol, turning a blind eye to you...]

Sure enough, no matter how tight the defense system is, it is difficult to avoid this basic loophole.

Those monitoring devices on the fence monitor the approach of living things, but the mechanical body is not within their jurisdiction. After all, who would have thought that a mechanical body would have the consciousness of a living person?

And the cleaning robots all over the city are one of the most easily overlooked mechanical bodies. Even a place as important as the goblin laboratory cannot lack the existence of such low-level hard workers.

[Relying on the camouflage form, you successfully blended into the interior of the laboratory. 】

[In the main building of the laboratory, there are many cleaning robots like you, scattered around, busy with their own work, you are mixed in, not conspicuous. 】

[You stick to the wall and sweep past, while taking the opportunity to observe the layout of the building. You see a variety of mecha models on display racks around the building, most of them in an unfinished state. 】

[M-9 guard robot...]

[U-7 flying reconnaissance robot...]

[S-12 goblin manned airship...]

...

In the past few days, Mu You walked around Clockwork City, encountered countless mechas of all kinds on the way, and knew the naming rules of various mechas of the Goblin tribe.

However, the models displayed in this building are all mechas that he has never seen before, and they are often robots of similar models, one or two generations taller, and their functions are also better than the previous generation robots. More or less improved.

Mu You sneaked around through the perspective of the sweeping robot, looking for something good.

As a result, before reading it for a while, a golden word suddenly flashed in the text, which was extremely eye-catching.

[You see two humanoid robots in front of you carefully carrying a glass instrument full of frost. In the middle of the ice and snow inside the instrument, there is a metal sheet the size of a baby's fist lying quietly. The surface of the sheet is shining with a faint golden light. . 】

[Automatic enemy detection circuit: A type of robot combat circuit, a legendary alchemy accessory. The long-range attack triggered by the battle robot can be equipped with the function of automatically searching for the enemy. After the attack is fired, the attack that does not lock the target will automatically chase the random enemy within the range. 】

Mu You was dumbfounded, and automatically searched for the enemy, there is such a thing?

All long-range attacks are equipped with a tracking function, which is too powerful, especially for things like mechs, it is equivalent to all bullets, artillery, and missiles.

Among other things, let's just say that the two shotguns he just bought before were originally range attack weapons, which are not practical when fighting a single target, but with this circuit, the two guns have a total of 400 energy bullets per second. Poured on a target, the damage is absolutely explosive.

[You saw two robots carefully carrying the refrigeration equipment, transporting this precious battle circuit to the depths of the hall...]

Seeing that the item was sent away, Mu You hurriedly manipulated the characters to follow. This item made him jealous and he had to get it.

As a result, he hadn't taken two steps before he was stopped by someone.

[You follow the robot to a workshop deep in the laboratory. Seeing the two robots pushing the door, you hurried to follow, but as soon as you stepped into the yellow line in front of the door, the goblin guarding the door immediately scolded you: "What are you doing, why did the cleaning robot come here?\
