Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 114: One Punch Man

At dawn, the Kestrel returned.

The advanced signal transceiver is also a small black box, but it has two short and thick red cylindrical antennas with a dictionary mark on it, which is also the city logo of Recursion City.

"Zhou, this is the fighting species you want."

The drone's mechanical claw handed over a square disc-shaped object with a silver metal sheet embedded in it.

It looked like an old disk storage device, with the Recursive City dictionary logo and a number printed on the surface.

This is a disposable light disk, specially used to store combat seeds.

Following Hong Shun's instructions, Zhou Yi pulled open the metal sheet.

A green luminous object suddenly and slowly rose from the light disk.

Zhou Yi switched to Unit 2 and grabbed it in his hand.

……

【Light Seed★☆☆】

Damage: 8-13
Cooldown: 0.5
Range: 2
[Frenzy]: Consumes 40 energy points. The body's strength is increased and enlarged in a short period of time. The body will become weak after use.

……

The advanced skill "Life Strike" has not been activated yet. It seems that like "Alertness", it needs to be upgraded to the maximum level before it can be used.

In the initial state, the damage and attack speed of the Dark Soul are far superior to those of the Long-necked Crocodile, but the range is shorter, after all, it is a pure close combatant.

After Zhou Yi absorbed it, this fighting type was integrated into [Machine 2].

Then, the Red Falcon rushed to Yalong Bay to complete the connection with the Poseidon.

Zhou Yi began to prepare for leveling up.

In the past he always sparred with Bone Fish, but now he decided to change his opponent.

……

Under the Dead Sea.

Two figures appeared in the drifting mist.

Zhou Yi and weapons master Xie Xun stood opposite each other.

The two sides squared off.

"Show me the limits of your strength."

"Yes, chief."

Zhou Yi assumed a boxing stance, and Xie Xun drew the sword and shield behind him.

Both of them rushed forward.

Zhou Yi was stabbed in the neck.

However, his fist hit Xie Xun directly but was blocked by the opponent's shield. The two sides separated after a minute of sword and fist fighting.

Zhou Yi calmed his breathing a little and looked at Xie Xun opposite him.

This guy was really ruthless. If he hadn't been unable to break through his defense, he would have died with the first blow. It still hurt.

On the bright side, the Weapon Master's straightforward style of not letting the opponent win or letting the opponent lead is very helpful for leveling. Compared with the E-level Bonefish, the D-level Weapon Master is of course more effective as a sparring partner.

"Come again."

……

three days later.

On a pile of ruins in the Dead Sea.

Zhou Yi opened two cans of beer and sat down to drink with weapon master Xie Xun to celebrate the completion of the leveling task.

Xie Xun's silver eyes showed a trace of trance: "Chief, this water is very strange."

"It's wine, also called Dead Sea wine."

Zhou Yi said: "If you encounter good things, you can come a little. If you encounter bad things, you can also come a little."

"Oh."

The weapon master was puzzled: "So does it represent a good thing or a bad thing?"

This question actually made Zhou Yi ask this question.

He thought about it carefully and took a sip of beer: "What's important is not why you drink, but who you drink with. I am very happy to drink with you. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Zhou Yi clinked beer cans with the other party.

The weapon master also learned to do it, then he raised his beer and said, "Chief, I don't understand, but this tastes good."

"If it tastes good, drink more, just don't get drunk."

Zhou Yi examined the combat equipment equipped on Unit 2.

……

【Battle★★★】

Damage: 101-175
Cooldown: 0.5
Range: 2
"Frenzy"...

"Life Strike": Consume at least 1000 health points and cause an equal amount of health damage to the enemy.

……

The damage of the Dark Soul combat type has exceeded that of the previous Organ main gun, and the cooldown is also shorter.

Just one question.

It would only work if it was face-to-face combat.

This is also its fatal flaw.

But this is not a problem for Zhou Yi.

For the long-range ships, there are the Emerald City and the Ridgehunter, as well as the St. Petersburg which will soon be put into service. We should be prepared for any eventuality and be able to deal with close enemies that cross the line of defense.

With this self-defense skill set, he can go out and explore other cities.

Zhou Yi pulled his thoughts back and looked at the weapon master who was sipping beer next to him: "What is your shield made of? It has good defense."

In the previous offensive phase, although his skills were a mess, his numbers were overwhelming.

But what surprised Zhou Yi was that Xie Xun, relying on his rich combat experience, was always able to use the black shield to block. Although he was often knocked away, his injuries were not serious.

Apparently there was something wrong with the shield.

"Chief, this is the armor shield I made."

The weapon master pulled out the shield on his back and held it out with his claws.

Zhou Yi observed it carefully and found that this armor shield was actually a kind of woven product, made of black strips woven together, with a layer of iron sheet inside.

It's a barnacle beetle.

"Yes, Chief."

The weapon master replied: "When the scavenging team goes to the bottom of the sea to scavenge, they are sometimes harassed and attacked by long-necked crocodiles, so I want to make corresponding weapons."

"I found that the material of beetle shells is very strong, so I used a translator to ask Master Afeng, who is in charge of beetle shells. He gave me a lot of beetle shells and discussed with me how to use this material." "There are no special high-temperature shaping tools, so I used the simplest hand-weaving and knotting to connect them. My claws can avoid being cut and can flexibly wrap and knot them."

"It took a lot of effort and time to make, but the finished product is very useful. The giraffe's bite and claw attacks can't break this shield, and with the defense of our own shell, it's difficult for them to hurt us now."

"Since our scavenging team has been equipped with armor and shields, the long-necked crocodiles will choose to retreat when they see us."

Zhou Yi looked at the armor and shield in his hand.

The first application and manufacturing of the insect armor material was actually completed by Xie Xun.

By manufacturing and assembling specific tools, the Weapon Master and his group of D-level lifeforms directly defeated the C-level long-necked crocodiles.

This means that Xie Xun and others are creative and have strong subjective initiative.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is everyone in your branch good at making weapons?"

"No."

Xie Xun said: "Our innate defense is not as good as that of the hammer soldiers, and our attack is weaker than that of the double-bladed soldiers. We make up for our innate deficiencies by tempering our own bodies and making tools and weapons."

"I belong to the latter category. Because we found that there are many powerful creatures that are beyond the capabilities of the black warriors. We are simply useless when dealing with them. So we need to find other abilities to gain your recognition and reuse."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that the weapon master was indeed wise.

He looked at the captain of the scavenger team in front of him and said, "I heard that you like reading."

"Yes, Chief, but I don't understand. I have tried every angle and method, but I just can't understand."

Xie Xun said honestly, "There is only a copy of 'Tools and Tools' in the office. I can see the pictures on it. I consulted Master Gong Zheng and Master Yuan Tong before I understood what it meant."

"The book contains a great deal of wisdom, and it is very powerful."

Zhou Yi remembered that he had bought this book from Cui Mao and placed it together with the "Dead Sea Atlas" in the box-style office for employees to read.

"I think the warrior crab is still very weak even if it transforms into a black warrior. We need stronger tools and equipment."

Xie Xun mustered up his courage and said, "So I am discussing and trying with other weapon masters. If the armor can be used to make shields, then armor can be made, which is very useful for protecting vital parts. I believe we can make it."

Zhou Yi patted its right-angled shoulder and said, "Go ahead and try. If you need anything, ask Gong Zheng for it. I'll talk to him about this."

"Yes, chief."

Xie Xun was very happy to be recognized.

"Chief, I want to bring some beer back for everyone in the scavenging team to taste, is that okay?"

It wanted to share the remaining half can with its companions.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Go get it from Gong Zheng. Just ask for Tsingtao beer, one can per person."

"Thank you, Chief!"

The weapons master's eyes narrowed with a smile and he waved his claws.

……

Return to land.

In the howling cold wind, Zhou Yi felt a little melancholy.

After mastering the skills, I couldn't find a suitable opponent.

When "Frenzy" and "Fatal Strike" are activated, even the Black Samurai can be killed instantly with a minimum of 1000 points of damage.

The risk is too high.

The opponent Zhou Yi originally chose was the Spine Hunter. After all, it was a B-level creature and could withstand some beatings.

But Lie Hai became scared when he heard it.

"Chairman, I haven't been feeling well lately. My condition is very bad. If I fight with you... I might die. Please spare me."

Zhou Yi couldn't force it either.

The Emerald City.

As a structural life form with strength reaching Class B, it has extremely strong natural defense, so there shouldn't be any problem.

On a dark and windy night.

Zhou Yi asked Emerald City: "Are you ready?"

"Be prepared. All lights and water supplies have been temporarily shut off."

Zhou Yi directly activated [Frenzy], and his whole body suddenly grew larger and his clothes exploded, turning into a nearly six-meter-tall figure. The surface of his entire body turned black and blurred, just like an ink painting drawn with a brush.

At this time, my attack distance has increased to 4, the damage limit has increased to 200, and other values have also increased slightly.

Zhou Yi punched into the outer wall of Emerald City.

【Fatal Strike】!
A large hole was blasted into the outer wall, and spider-web-like cracks formed by white light appeared on the gap.

The defense layer was breached.

Emerald City feedback: "1.25% damage to the main body."

This is just a critical hit damage of 1000 health points.

Zhou Yi threw a few more fatal punches of the same magnitude.

"2.5% of the main body is damaged."

……

very stable.

To put it in perspective, the health value of Emerald City is just over 8.

Finish work.

One Punch Man was initially created.

Zhou Yi recovered immediately, put on a bath towel, and started repairing the Emerald City.

However, this late-night practice still attracted the attention of many employees.

Through the Red Falcon's bird's-eye view, Zhou Yi saw the various thoughts of the onlookers.

A Jin: The chairman even beat up Emerald City. He is so powerful.

Nightclaw: What's going on? The Emerald City didn't do anything. Is it because it's not good for disciplining other little Emerald Cities?

Gong Zheng: Be careful in what you say and do. Be careful in what you say and do.

A Feng: What happened? An earthquake? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

Cao Dayuan: Building No. 1 will be destroyed, and the other buildings may also be demolished by the chairman. The residents have to behave themselves.

Yuan Tong: The chairman has been a little angry lately, so it’s better not to provoke him.

Zheng Tao: Aliens are really tough. It would be nice if we could grow crops on them... but that would probably be a waste.

Qiansu: It turns out he is quite big. It’s better if he is bigger. It’s better if he is bigger.

……

Zhou Yi felt that it would be a better idea to choose Yalong Bay for practice next time.
