"But, Elder, how shall we find them?" a hesitant Goblin Commander asked from the side.
They had already understood the enemy’s ability to disguise themselves, able to take on the appearance of any mecha. This was the most difficult aspect. In order to expose the enemy, they had already lost hundreds of advanced mechas, but to no avail.
What next? Would they need to destroy all the mechas in the city just to find him?
Barney was rendered silent by this question. After pondering for dozens of seconds, he finally lifted his head: "Use the Weighing Robots!"
The enemy’s disguise ability was perfect in replicating appearance, enough to fool the eye, but there was one thing they could not falsify, and that was weight.
All mechas in the city were manufactured under uniform specifications. Each mecha had a standard weight, but regardless of how the enemy changed their appearance, their weight could not change. So, the best way to reveal their deception was to ’weigh’ them. Whoever’s weight was off, must be the imposter!
Soon, all the mechas throughout the city received instructions: except for the guard mechas around the city walls, all mechas must immediately cease operations to undergo weight inspections.
One by one, the Weighing Robots set out. After they had validated each other’s weight, they started to disperse throughout the city under the protection of the Mecha Army, thoroughly scanning the weight of all mechanical bodies in the vicinity and comparing them with the database.
The entire verification process took as long as five hours to complete.
However, even after inspecting the last mecha in the city, they still didn’t find any abnormalities. Shockingly, all the mechas’ weights were correct!
By now, the Goblins were almost going insane. The city had come to a standstill, incurring great manpower and resources, just to arrive at a ’peaceful’ conclusion?
"How is this possible?"
Barney was equally baffled.
Logically speaking, all the exits throughout the city, the airspace, and even underground, had all been completely locked down. The space teleportation was also blocked. The entire city was sealed off like an impenetrable prison while there wasn’t any chance for anyone to escape, but why, just why couldn’t they find the enemy?
While the Goblins were tearing their hair out, Mu You was leisurely having his breakfast at home.
This is all very normal, as the Goblins couldn’t find him because he has gone offline.
The offline mechanism was the player’s most reliable method when dealing with natives of the game world. You simply needed to go offline if you couldn’t fight them. Two different worlds, online and offline. When he went offline, all disturbances were severed cleanly.
About escaping, there was no rush. He didn’t believe that the Goblins could have the spatial blockade activated all the time since this device was power-consuming. He would occasionally log in to check, and when it was off, he would leave.
Moreover, he had other things to deal with today apart from the game.
Today was Friday, the day for Lin Xue’s heritage mission. They needed to enter the door.
Lin Xue and Little Ya arrived punctually at the shop at seven in the morning.
After packing everything he was going to take, Mu You went down to the basement and opened the door.
However, when he turned around and saw the equally prepared Lin Xue, he was speechless.
"You... are you really planning to wear that?" Mu You looked at Lin Xue in front of him with a strange expression.
At this moment, Lin Xue was wrapped in a layer of iron armor, resembling a medieval European knight, the kind where you can’t even see her face.
They had previously discussed how to deal with Red Sleeve’s chain. They guessed that hard armor might be effective, so she really came with a ’barrel-like’ armor outfit...
"Yes, it’s better to be safe than sorry..." Lin Xue’s elongated voice came out through a gap in her helmet.
"Okay then..." Mu You chose not to intervene. After all, she was the one mainly responsible for the mission. She should do it in the way she finds most suitable.
