Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Mysterious Monster, Basic Exoskeleton Complete! (Seeking Initial Subscription! First Update!)

"What happened here?"

After having breakfast, Lin Yue brought Bai to the Ancient Secret Realm Gate by the wall. Seeing that Bai no longer had the same intense reaction as before, he opened the door and entered.

However, what appeared in front of him were white silk-like substances that almost obscured his entire view!

He took out the Iron Spear, attempted to lift a clump, and after identifying it a bit, he immediately understood what it was.

"Spider silk? Why is there so much? Did I enter the Silk Cave?"

Taking out a fiercely burning torch, Lin Yue quickly burned a large hole through the spider silk obstructing his view, the strong stench making Bai hide behind him.

He erected a stone wall in front, climbed a ladder, and surveyed the surroundings from this high point.

"Was this originally a street?"

Standing on this high ground, Lin Yue discovered that the position of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate was right in the middle of a street, but this road had been completely covered by nearly two meters of white spider silk, the surface nowhere to be seen.

"That seems to be a commercial building over there, should I go check it out?"

There weren’t many buildings around, most of them were two-story old red brick constructions, resembling some ancient European city.

The only somewhat modern structure was a tall six-story concrete building not far from him.

From its appearance, the building seemed like a commercial center, but most of its glass curtain walls were gone, making it look dilapidated.

Lin Yue dismantled the stone wall, and with Bai, cleared away the spider silk in the nearby area with their torch, heading in that direction.

Stepping up on the stairs slightly higher than the road surface, they came to the front of the building. Seeing Bai not reacting, Lin Yue boldly entered it.

"This looks like a large mall." Lin Yue walked on the dust-covered floor, finding the inside pitch black. After turning on his flashlight, he saw rows of stores lined up inside the mall.

Taking a closer look, it seemed to specialize in men’s wear, but most of the clothes were already decayed. Lin Yue picked up some, and the system determined them as "rags."

Continuing along the corridor, Lin Yue discovered two escalators, and further inside them was a sizeable atrium.

Around the atrium were more stores. Deep inside, there was an observation vertical lift. Approaching it, he touched the glass outer casing of the lift.

[You have obtained Acrylic Glass X1]

After consecutively collecting three pieces, the interior of the elevator shaft was laid bare.

An elevator... there must be something good inside, right?

Lin Yue thought that since he was in the Secret Realm, he should leave nothing unexplored,

[You have obtained an observation elevator set, including traction machine, guide rails, counterweight device, safety device, signal control system, cab, and hall door]

He stored the entire elevator into his Storage Space, meanwhile, something from above fell heavily, crashing onto the ground with a loud noise but without damage, its quality quite good.

Lin Yue had long known about the existence of the counterweight inside the elevator, so he didn’t immediately enter the elevator shaft, thus avoiding danger.

He looked down to where the elevator was originally located, trying to find anything else worthwhile, his eyes suddenly catching sight of two hydraulic rods.

Hydraulic rods? Hydraulic rods!

Speaking of hydraulic rods, it seems...

Lin Yue suddenly had a hunch that this might be what he was looking for!

Identify it!

[Precision Electric Actuator]

His heart suddenly beat rapidly!

This thing is unexpectedly found here?

Precision electric actuator, the last missing piece to construct mechanical arms and a simple exoskeleton!

Unexpectedly finding it here, it was a fortunate occurrence indeed.

[You have obtained Precision Electric Actuator X2]

Good, just two pieces.

Lin Yue let out a sigh of relief. Being able to find these in the mall was truly unexpected.

"Bai, nothing unusual?"

Lin Yue looked around; the mall was indeed a treasure trove. If there were no enemies, he would gladly scourge it thoroughly.

"Purr." After arriving here, Bai was rather quiet, as it had eaten its fill in the morning and showed no resistance to going to the Secret Realm, behaving like usual.

"Nothing, huh... Well, let’s start looting!"

However, just as Lin Yue headed towards a men’s wear store, Bai by the elevator shaft suddenly halted, looking up at the sky!

"Purr! Purr!"

Lin Yue, hearing Bai’s call, almost instinctively reacted. He looked up and saw a massive shadow crashing toward the atrium’s skylight!

He immediately sprinted towards the main entrance, while a sudden shattering of glass and the crash of heavy objects hitting the ground echoed behind him!

"Run, Bai!"

Lin Yue rushed to the door almost at his fastest speed. Judging from the huge noise behind him, the coming enemy was definitely no small monster!

But he couldn’t resist looking back, seeing a massive black shadow demolishing the atrium where he once stood, only to realize that dozens of blood-red eyes were fixated on him from that shadow!

"Purr! Purr!" Bai beside Lin Yue suddenly released an extreme cold mist. Upon reaching the door, he found it had frozen something wrist-thick, like a syrupy tentacle, clawing at his ankle, preventing it.

Tentacles? A sea creature? Moreover, the tentacles were covered with sharp spikes!

He took a sharp intake of breath, scooped up Bai, and dashed outside into the carved path towed toward the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, flinging the gate open and crawling inside without ceasing.

Forcibly closing the Ancient Gate and leaning against the door, Lin Yue was drenched in sweat, his nerves still taut with fear.

What was that thing?

A massive body, dozens of eyes, viscous tentacles, what kind of monster is this?

And that web of spider silk that can cover the entire street...

Lin Yue had a strong sense the Secret Realm was now more perilous than before. If it weren’t for Bai, he might have already been ensnared by those disgusting tentacles.

However, being able to retrieve something so usable from there, it wasn’t a wasted trip.

Once his wildly beating heart calmed a bit, Lin Yue got up again and walked into the shelter.

To find that the Little Ice Lizards were absent.

Were they out hunting?

Lin Yue sent Bai to check outside while he sat in a chair, opened the system panel, and first used copper ingots to manufacture ten wires, then...

[Basic Exoskeleton: body, arms, legs, feet, connected joints, active joints, elbow joint components (Hard Aluminum Alloy 10/10, Power Controller 1/1, Battery Pack 1/1, Power Cable 10/10, Copper Ingot 15/15, Sturdy Cotton Fabric 5/5, Rubber 1/1), Precision Electric Actuator 1/1]

The materials were finally gathered!

[You have obtained the Basic Exoskeleton!]

A flash of white light passed, a complete set of advanced equipment appeared in front of Lin Yue!
