That should last eight minutes with 82% left, which means, a demon crystal could only support his actions for about ten minutes. If he was to fight or use abilities, it would deplete even faster.
Equating the value of his life to one demon crystal, his robot form seemed to drain energy even faster than his actions...
Of course, this was mainly because his current power furnace was broken. Half the energy of a demon crystal probably leaked out, causing such a large consumption.
Therefore, the current priority was to find a functioning power furnace.
Mu You returned to the game and continued scavenging.
However, before he even had a chance to act, a new text suddenly popped up in the game.
[You suddenly notice an alchemy robot approaching your position.]
[Garbage Recycling Robot: One of the basic worker robots manufactured by the goblin race. Its duty is to patrol the garbage dump daily and look for recyclable alchemy parts. Attack power: 10 points. Defensive power: 10 points. HP: 3000 points. Abilities: analyzing garbage, decomposing garbage.]
[The Garbage Recycling Robot has found you and is scanning in your direction.]
["Unknown Mecha detected. Damage exceeds standards, defined as ’soon to be scrapped waste’... Initiating garbage retrieval program!" The robot’s voice mercilessly echoed electronic sounds, it moved towards you with its caterpillar-like tires. At the same time, a metal cutting blade popped out of each of its arms. It was clear that it planned to dismantle you and recycle any valuable parts from your body...]
Mu You was rendered speechless. What the hell? Is it trying to recycle him right after they met?
Although he looked a bit broken, it took him over an hour to assemble. Were they just going to recycle him like that?
Mu You immediately prepared to switch back to his vampire skin and take out the opponent.
[You switch back to your human skin, and suddenly, an alarm on top of the garbage recycling robot starts blinking. It sends out invisible waves, "Enemy detected, requesting backup, Target: Annihilation!"]
[A large number of mechas in the vicinity and within the city received the enemy attack signal, immediately converging in your direction...]
Mu You hastily presses his pocket watch again.
He hadn’t expected these basic robots to come with an alarm. Now he couldn’t switch back, switching would expose his existence, alerting the enemy.
In this case, he can only first destroy the opponent’s alarm, then talk about other things.
[Your mecha stays still, assuming a surrendering pose.]
[The Recycling Robot moves over to you, raises its bladed arms and swings towards your joints.]
[You suddenly lash out, your steel scorpion tail shoots up towards the opponent’s alarm.]
[With a crisp collision sound, your tail-stinger is deflected by the sturdy shell of the alarm, your sneak attack failed.]
[Your attack forcefully inflicts the lowest possible damage of one point. The alarm inside the hard shell shatters upon impact.]
Mu You’s eyes light up, it turns out that the Rule Power is also effective against the robot state!
Rule Power belongs to the power of rules, even if the opponent’s defense is much higher than his attack, it can still penetrate the defenses, forcibly inflicting damage!
This makes things much easier!
With the alarm gone, Mu You no longer hesitates, immediately switching back to his vampire skin, and easily dispatches the recycling robot.
However, he intentionally left it with a few HP, then switched back to his mecha skin, and killed it piece by piece with his stinger.
[You’ve successfully killed your first mecha.]
[T-K2300 Acquired Disguise: Garbage Recycling Robot.]
[You dismantle the carcass of the Garbage Recycling Robot.]
[You’ve acquired ’Garbage Sorting Scanner’, ’intact Power Furnace’, ’slightly damaged exoskeleton’, ’caterpillar type locomotor’, ’metal cutting blade x2’.]
