The mechanical limbs were still twitching and convulsing, and the steel knuckles scraped across the gravel, making a metallic whine.

The severed joints were stacked at twisted angles, like an altar at which pilgrims bowed.

In the gray haze of smoke and dust, the energy core flickered like a dying firefly, and the iron fragments surrounding it gave rise to the solemn beauty of the Throne of Thorns.

Yu Xiuwen supported his neat face with one hand as he sat on top of the ruins. The wreckage of more than a dozen Ruins Guardians piled up like a steel base at his feet.

The space was closed, there was no wind to spread the victory, and it couldn't dispel the smell of burnt metal in the air.

When the last gear stopped turning, he kicked the cannon barrel away, which had stopped whining.

Yu Xiuwen held back.

He at least allowed these ruins guardians to get within a few meters of him and mercifully gave them the right to fight.

Just treat it as a stretch. This battle was just a joke to him from beginning to end.

Just a notice to the seventh puppet.

And the puppet did receive it. Shortly after Yu Xiuwen sat on the "throne" of the winner, a huge humanoid machine appeared.

Its appearance is much more delicate than that of the Ruins Guardian, and its workmanship is more careful.

On its broad, solid palm sat a girl.

She had brown hair and clear blue eyes. She wore a maid-like hat and a long dress, spotless and completely out of tune with the gloomy surroundings.

But after seeing Yu Xiuwen, her ruthless eyes finally showed some changes.

Half anger, half fear, and other than that there was only a cold light.

"You said you were visiting," the girl said in a pleasant but slightly sharp voice. "A visitor wouldn't be so rude."

"Oh, is it so?"

Yu Xiuwen nodded indifferently, "I'm sorry."

"... "

His indifferent attitude made Sandoni's eyes even colder.

"I've already told you, I don't welcome you here, and I have no interest in so-called new colleagues. If you're here to intimidate me and show me how powerful you are, then congratulations, you've achieved your goal, and you can leave now."

Isn't it?

More than a dozen Ruins Guardians were dismantled, and it had only been a few minutes since the battle began, but the opponent didn't even have a scratch. The little dust he got on was because he sat on the ruins of the machine.

Judging from the results, it can indeed be considered a warning.

After hearing her words, Yu Xiuwen's originally calm face suddenly thawed like the spring lake water and was filled with smiles.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Legally speaking, I was just acting in self-defense. Of course, it was my fault for trespassing. If you're upset, I'm here to apologize."

The voice was gentle, even a little playful, and the initial dominance and coldness seemed like an illusion.

Only the discarded steel on the ground warned Sandonie that the man in front of him was no pushover.

Perhaps out of consideration for his strength, Sandoni restrained his edge and continued after a moment of silence:

"My response remains the same. You are not welcome here. However, I can't do anything about it. I can only give in and let you walk around here."

"But please remember, if you damage the machine again, I will give up all my research materials and I won't let you off easily."

"Yes~"

Yu Xiuwen nodded with a smile.

His expression made Sandoni feel that he really deserved a beating, so he simply turned his head away to avoid being offended.

The huge robot slowly turned around and took Sandone back to the research site.

Yu Xiuwen jumped down from the Iron Mountain and followed leisurely.

------

Sandoni is indeed a research maniac. Yu Xiuwen didn't know how many kinds of machines he had seen along the way.

He didn't recognize most of them.

"Sandonie, what's that big hand for?"

"Sandonie, if I throw a stick, can that robot dog pick it up for me?"

"Sandoni, will the Ruin Patrol suddenly take flight? If it loses control, what will you use to bring it down?"

He is like a curious baby, asking questions whenever he gets the chance.

Ordinary people would probably be annoyed by him, but Sandoni was like a cold machine and never spoke.

Yu Xiuwen didn't care about the cold reception, and she had no obligation to chat with him.

After a few minutes, the robot sped up and Yu Xiuwen caught up, and soon they arrived at an open space.

In the center of the rare open space that was not surrounded by machines, there was a very small house with probably only one or two rooms inside.

In front of the house was a huge platform with a lot of strange parts piled on it.

It was probably a research table or something like that. There were several robotic arms of different sizes next to the table.

After arriving here, Sandoni was put down by the robot. After giving Yu Xiuwen a warning look, he went to the operating table and started working.

Yu Xiuwen didn't expect to have a good relationship with this research fanatic who had left a bad impression on the other party the first time they met.

Since she ignored him, he could just walk around on his own.

Thinking of this, he wandered around.

Sandoni, who had been glancing at him warily, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he did not follow him.

Phew, that’s okay. I was worried that this strange guy would come over and cause trouble, but if he’s just taking a walk, then so be it.

As long as it doesn't affect your own research.

It was a bit annoying, but there was nothing she could do about it, as she couldn't beat this mysterious man.

Research, keep researching.

Sandoni completely ignored Yu Xiuwen.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Xiuwen was driven out by the desperate Sandoni.

The reason was that during these twenty minutes, Yu Xiuwen felt that simply watching was boring, so he looked around for some parts, or something that Sandoni had already made, and started tinkering with it.

Then, inexplicable explosions occurred from time to time.

More than a dozen ruins guardians were unable to embarrass Yu Xiuwen, and he himself got himself into a mess.

Sandoni couldn't help it, and after Yu Xiuwen almost blew up an iron bridge, he started to drive him away.

It’s amazing that he can put these things together and start them up!

It turns out there's nothing good about letting this person in. More things were damaged today than in all the previous years combined. I don't know how much trouble it will take to deal with it later.

Especially those dozen or so ruins guardians, her heart was bleeding - even though she had no heart.

(The puppet, Sandoni, shouldn't be made of flesh and blood, right? If there's a backstab, it's completely normal.)

Yu Xiuwen, who was kicked out of the small factory and stood in front of the cold iron gate in disappointment, felt that his heart was as cold as the iron gate.

He touched his nose, brushed off the dust on his body, took a breath of fresh air, and kicked the door angrily.

Humph, he was just playing around out of curiosity, so heartless!

You can let him go, but the problem is with him. Can't you be more gentle and tactful?

He felt like Sandoni was going to eat him alive.

"Wait for me to come next time."

After leaving behind some harsh words, Yu Xiuwen walked away.
