Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Ever since he took the shield out of the blacksmith's shop this morning, he has been unable to finish a conversation with anyone without saying:

"How did you know I had a 1.5 meter shield?"

So when he heard Lemon's question, he immediately stuck his big shield into the ground, skipping even the time to exchange pleasantries. He just patted the shield and said excitedly:

"My shield is very powerful. Not only can it block gunshots, but even low-level to mid-level demons can't break my defense."

"Think about it, if you were out hunting monsters, wouldn't you really want a tank who could withstand all the damage?"

"I do."

"That's right, my shield is pretty good..."

Seeing Lemon listening there very enthusiastically, [Lazy Ramen] and [Uncle Potato] walked to the wreckage of the flying car again, and once again stood on tiptoe to look at the robot inside.

"Save me, I am the fortune of Daxing City..."

"Why is this robot still saying this?" Lazy Ramen looked back at the potato. "Is it broken?"

"how could I know."

Potato shook his head, then he carefully looked at the space in the wreckage, touched his chin and suggested:

"The data cartridge should be on this robot, right? How about I jump in and look for it?"

"walk slowly."

Seeing Lazy State Ramen nod, Potato didn't waste any words. He simply supported himself on the edge of the wreckage, then flipped hard. After successfully avoiding stepping on the robot, he finally landed inside the flying car.

He did not look for the data box immediately, but instead looked around the surrounding environment.

There were white metal walls, a chair that was no longer recognizable, and some broken ropes, but no signs of cargo.

So, the transport was shot down on its way back?

Potato nodded, took note of the information, then retracted his gaze and slowly squatted down.

"By the way..."

He looked at the robot's body for a moment, then turned back to Lazy State Ramen and asked, "Is the data cartridge in its brain? Or in its chest?"

"how could I know."

"Uh... I'll just look for it slowly."

Potato carefully touched the robot's chest, which was already full of cracks, then selected a piece of the almost completely broken shell, gently broke it off, and looked inside carefully.

Unlike what he expected, the robot's body did not have complicated circuits, but was filled with metal plates with light purple patterns.

And right in the middle of these metal plates, there is a square black object floating and slowly rotating.

"That should be it." Potato nodded slightly.

However, to be on the safe side, he still asked a few newbies who were resurrected in the gathering place to go to the mission hall to inquire in detail.

Only after receiving Song Lian's affirmative answer did he reach out and slowly take out the black object.

There was no resistance, and the block was still a little warm. After a careful look, there were no other discordant marks on the six sides except for the fine patterns, so it should be undamaged.

He tiptoed to hand the data box to Lazy State Ramen who was waiting outside, and then climbed out of the wreckage again.

"This thing is a data cartridge, right?"

After finally finishing talking about the shield, Dandan also came over. He looked at the black block in Lazy State Ramen's hand, then looked back at the two sections of wreckage in front of him.

"This car wreckage and robot corpse should still be useful."

"Let's leave a few people to guard here, so that the group of people won't come back again." Lemon suggested immediately.

So Dandan, who possessed the "absolute defense", was left here, and they also assigned ten players to escort Lazy State Ramen and the data box back to the gathering place.

However, before they could go far, players coming to support from the south sent battle reports.

They encountered the group of invaders on the road, and the two sides exchanged fire on the spot. The player's side lost nearly ten people, and the other side left two bodies and continued to flee to the southwest.

Without the possible threat of the enemy, Lazy State Ramen and his men immediately increased their speed a lot. In less than half an hour, they returned to the gathering place.

"Back! Back!"

"Chief, Sister Keyu, and Engineer Song are waiting for you in the mission hall!"

A group of players who couldn't catch up immediately surrounded Lazy State Ramen and others, and then followed them all the way to the mission hall.

The mission rewards have nothing to do with them, but they can’t miss the story CG!

Chapter 207: It can be repaired, but it is not necessary

In the open space in front of the mission hall.

"Warriors, you did a great job! Thank you for once again defending the safety of the gathering place!"

After taking the data box from Lazy State Ramen, Tang Yi also spoke solemnly to the dozen or so players in front of him.

Under the gaze of other players around them, these people also straightened their backs.

This is a critical moment to improve the leader's favorability, but no one will let down at this time.

"You can choose to receive the corresponding amount of Alliance Coins from the mission hall as your mission rewards, or have them directly transferred to your account at the Chamber of Commerce..."

“I choose to remit directly to the merchant!”

"Me too!"

“Cancel subscription!”

The players didn't hesitate at all and everyone chose the latter.

Are you kidding? With mobile payment, who would carry so much cash on them?

You don't mind it being troublesome, but I do think it's too heavy!

However, a few newbies who were shouting "skip" and "unsubscribe" instantly revealed harmless expressions under Tang Yi's gaze.

Well, they just made a few jokes, the leader probably won’t remember them for it.

"I hope you will keep up the good work and continue to fight for the future of this world." Tang Yi added at the end.

"it is good!"

"Fight for a better tomorrow!"

"Dawn is just around the corner!!"

"For! Piltover... cough cough, this won't work."

Without continuing to watch the players shouting all kinds of strange slogans, Tang Yi took the data box and walked straight back to the office on the side of the mission hall.

At this time, Song Lian was sitting in Xia Keyu's seat, checking the screenshots sent back by the players one by one, while Xia Keyu was sitting beside him, looking confused and occasionally asking a question or two.

"Do all the flying cars in Daxing City look like this?"

"Emmm... I can only say that most of them look like this, because they are all modified from land vehicles. After all, as long as a floating air array is installed and a propulsion system is developed, the car can go directly into the sky." Song Lian said after thinking for a while.

"But I've also seen flying cars in other shapes, like teardrop-shaped, cone-shaped, and capsule-shaped."

"Those are probably specially designed for special purposes, and I guess they can't be called flying cars..."

"Click."

Before Song Lian could finish his words, the office door was pushed open.

When she saw that the person who came in was Tang Yi, she stood up immediately.

"Did you get the data cartridge?"

"got it."

Tang Yi nodded, then handed the data box to Song Lian, who immediately checked it and confirmed that the surface was not seriously damaged and the data inside should not be affected.

Then she looked up at Tang Yi.

"The operating principle of this thing is not much different from before the war, so Xiaoxing can definitely read it. I just don't know whether to send it to Research Institute No. 7."

"Do you want it?" Tang Yi also picked up Xiaoxing who was waiting on the side very straightforwardly.

This little star's outfit seems to be a new style. It is wearing a one-piece white dress with a light blue overall color, but there is a large oval white area in front, the opening of the screen above its head has decorative white teeth, and there is even a short shark tail behind it.

So this is a...

Shark Star?

Feeling lifted up, Shark Little Star instantly exited the standby mode, then recalled the conversation between Tang Yi and Song Lian in less than a second, and immediately shook his head.

"Report to the Director! No need to send it back to the institute! The data can be read directly!"

"How do you read it?"

Tang Yi looked back at the data box, then looked at Xiaoxing in his hand. There was no data cable interface on his body.

Is it blocked by clothes?

"Just put it directly on the body." Xiaoxing answered immediately.

Oh, it’s wireless, so convenient.

"Don't you need to enter a password?"

Tang Yi placed Xiaoxing in the slot next to the table, and then Song Lian immediately placed the data box on its head.

"Theoretically, a password is required, but the research institute has a very high level of authority. If this data cartridge indeed uses the underlying logic of pre-war robots, the institute can bypass the password system and read the data directly."

As soon as the data box was placed on Xiaoxing's head, even through a layer of clothes, it began to emit a faint purple light. As the light gradually grew brighter, it slowly floated up and began to rotate slowly.

Xiaoxing's screen instantly turned into an animation of flowing data.

Uh... I don't know when I learned this sense of ritual.

"Read successful."

The screen in front of Xiaoxing turned into (^O^) again, and at the same time, the display screen on the desk immediately showed various information in the data box.

"Robot No. 3 of the Transport Department of Research Institute No. 5 is carrying out transport mission number 43962200. The item has been confirmed delivered and is in the process of returning..."

Judging from the general information, this robot is actually an ordinary transport robot in Institute No. 3.

Apart from being numbered relatively early, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

And judging from the information in the data box, it doesn't even know what it is transporting.

As for what it had seen and heard in Research Institute No. 3 over the years...

It would be too troublesome to turn these things over. After all, as a transport robot, it is either on the flying car or on the way to the flying car every day.

Dull and uninteresting, and without a life of my own.

Xia Keyu looked at the screenshots sent by the players again. One of them showed the robot's broken body at close range. She turned to look at Song Lian and asked:

"Can its original body be repaired?"

"It can be repaired, but it's not necessary." Song Lian shook his head slightly.

Even in Daxing City, if a robot suffered such severe damage, the owner's first reaction would definitely be to replace it with a new body.

Electronics are like this.

Sometimes repairs can cost more than buying a new one.

"Just give it a new body. If you're a little lazy, you can even equip it with a screen and a speaker, and it will be able to complete most of the work in the mission hall." Song Lian said very skillfully.

When she was studying in Daxing City, her monthly living expenses were not enough, so when her assistive robot broke down and she had no money to repair it, she had no choice but to deal with it this way.

You know what, this method really saves money.

She had to do some of the physical work that was originally done by robots herself, which made her stronger during that period.

But now it seems like a win-win situation!

Without this strength, she would not have survived the attack by refugees.

"Um……"

Tang Yi thought for a moment, then looked silently at Xiaoxing who was on standby and swaying gently left and right.

"Can its data cartridge be placed in one of your backup bodies?"

Xiaoxing stopped moving in an instant.
