Chapter 208: Chapter 209: The Robot Dog Shows Its Skills, I Just Collect a Billion Minerals

Lin Yue guessed correctly.

The large lake at the center, surrounded by ore, was indeed the Acid Rain Lake.

After the last acid rain flood receded, most of it seemed to have evaporated or seeped into the soil, but some entered cracks wrapped by rock layers or were preserved in rocky pits like this large lake.

The Acid Rain Lake in front of Lin Yue’s door was one, and so was this one here.

When Lin Yue, Bai, and Xiao Meng pushed the Lizardman corpses into the lake, they quickly noticed white mist rising from the bodies, and soon the scales began to fall off. As the bodies sank, the mist became denser.

The flesh was continuously corroded by the lake water and eventually disappeared.

The Lizardman’s corpse even turned into a skeleton in the Acid Rain Lake and finally sank!

"Damn, falling in would mean instant demise."

Lin Yue didn’t know how deep the lake was, but regardless, it seemed like any living creature would meet its end.

Wasn’t the previous acid rain equally powerful?

Even touching a little would make one end up like the Lizardman corpse, completely done for.

Lin Yue marveled at the acid rain’s wonder and continued to throw more Lizardman corpses into the lake.

Bai and Xiao Meng worked hard as well, though some corpses were no different from meat chunks, they still followed their master and kept transporting them.

It didn’t take long, with the Lizardman corpses cleared, Lin Yue was finally able to start excavating natural sulfur ore.

"Machine dog, start!" Lin Yue took the machine dog out from the Storage Space and pressed its switch.

Then, setting the program, and marking the natural sulfur ore, ...

After a series of operations, the machine dog took cautious steps towards a rock, the alloy claw on the mechanical arm gripping an iron pickaxe, beginning frequent and forceful strikes!

Piece by piece, the natural sulfur ore was chipped away, and when there was hardly any left, the machine dog moved to the other side of the rock and continued chiseling.

Bai and Xiao Meng stood by, amazed that this iron contraption could accomplish such a feat.

They even forgot to continue tossing Lizardmen, watching as the ore fell to the ground piece by piece, forming a small mountain.

Lin Yue watched with satisfaction, seeing that the machine dog’s mechanical arm could even extend to about two meters in height, making the upper ore easy to handle.

Meanwhile, as the mechanical arm excavated, the machine dog’s four limbs acted as supports on the ground, making it more stable overall, and the falling rubble couldn’t damage its alloy body.

After finishing with a large rock, it followed its program, found a neighboring rock, and continued mining.

"Perfect." Lin Yue was very pleased, the efficiency almost matched him with an Exoskeleton.

Finally, after the Little Ice Lizards became little helpers in the greenhouse harvest, the machine dog became a small mining helper.

Once the parts were gathered, making a second, third mining-specialized machine dog wouldn’t be far off, making the entire Natural Sulfur Ore Mountain just a matter of time to finish mining.

Lin Yue picked up another iron pickaxe, transformed it into a Diamond Iron Pickaxe, and realized an issue.

"Not enough universal upgrade design maps."

Currently, Lin Yue only had two universal upgrade design maps left, and these were very useful for many things after all; being limited by this would definitely be problematic.

As many areas required upgrades.

Bai and Xiao Meng were still throwing Lizardmen into the lake, while the machine dog had already started on the third rock, Lin Yue decided to take this time to check the long-neglected Survival Points Mall.

"Hmm, still have 16,170 points... How many universal upgrade design maps can I buy?" Last time, he bought this item, which increases in price each purchase, from 300 points up to 1000 points, and buying more would likely increase further.

But even if this item rose to 3,000 points, it’s absolutely worth it.

Besides... Lin Yue thought he could trade it using various items since initially purchasing that item only cost 100 survival points, something almost all survivors could afford.

Although he believed the survivors knew how useful this item was, compared to some essentials, this design map wasn’t that important.

"Sure enough, buying one increases the base price by 100 points."

After buying 5, spending a total of 6,500 points, Lin Yue did feel the survival point cost was quite hefty.

"Maybe try trading for some?" He opened the trading panel.

[Seller: Lin Yue]

[Auction item: Wine 1 bottle, total 20 bottles]

[Seeking: Universal Upgrade Design Map]

[Seller’s note: Auction, highest bidder wins]

After setting this up, Lin Yue surprisingly found out that there were already many bids on cylinders, cams, and precision electric push rods needed for mechanical arms.

Lin Yue happily made a wave of trades with a few people, acquiring 5 cylinders, 7 cams, 4 precision electric push rods, and 3 guiding devices.

Now, combined with the original parts, it was enough to immediately manufacture at least three machine dogs equipped with mechanical arms!

"Wonderful." Lin Yue closed the trading panel, feeling quite satisfied.

Once back, he would assemble a team of machine dogs, and tomorrow he might only need to supervise here, perhaps even completing the mining here by then.

With this notion, Lin Yue used the two Shelter Design Maps he recently obtained from Xing Lingfeng to build two new interconnected warehouses, then picked up the Diamond Iron Pickaxe and joined the mining efforts.

Time flew by.

As he placed a large crate filled with natural sulfur ore into the last available space in the underground shelter, today’s mining task concluded.

Bai and Xiao Meng returned too.

While Lin Yue and the machine dog mined the ore, the two little guys searched around the lake for any trace of Lizardmen once they finished throwing work.

They indeed found something, discovering dozens of tunnels going underground, but after digging a few meters, they found them thoroughly blocked, impossible to enter.

Lin Yue knew that as long as he was around, those Lizardmen wouldn’t dare return.

He checked the time, seemingly just reached noon, the ore was plentiful enough to not only fill the large space created by the original four shelters but even the new shelter was packed full.

Although he wanted to continue, there were other important tasks to be done.

After resealing the shelters in both locations and rechecking the surroundings, Lin Yue took the ore-filled Storage Space and restarted the ATV.

Lizardmen...

What kind of technology did these creatures possess? Why could they handle gunpowder yet still use weapons like stone guns and spears?

The sound of the ATV engine roared.

It sped towards the main shelter.
