Chapter 610: Chapter 335: Public Enemy of Clockwork City_1

The time for the meeting ended, and Mu You returned to his room amidst the swirling darkness.

Mu You immediately contacted Lin Xue on the forum, informing her of his previous speculation about her competition.

"A chain that cripples the limbs?" Lin Xue was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

"Yes, I guess. This could be the danger you are about to face. If you fight this person in the future, avoid her as much as possible and don’t get hit," Mu You said.

On Lin Xue’s side, there was a pause of more than ten seconds after receiving the message before she typed a response.

"If that’s the case, evading would only be a temporary solution. External defense would likely be more important."

"Huh?"

"If this person’s chain is similar to my scythe, it most likely needs to come into direct contact with the flesh of a living being to take effect," Lin Xue said.

The Reaper’s Scythe was a tool she had been using, and she was, of course, most familiar with the flaws of this weapon.

Such an item appears to have a formidable function but is not invincible in actual combat. It has two significant weaknesses.

First, there is a cool-down period after each activation, about one second. During this time, no matter how many times the scythe strikes, it will be unable to take effect again.

Second, the scythe only works if it directly hits the flesh of a living creature. If it strikes equipment or armor and does not penetrate, it cannot leave the Reaper’s Mark.

If the chain that Red Sleeve is using has a similar mechanism, it would likely have these two limitations.

"...If it can only cripple limbs, using some hardened protective gear should be able to effectively protect vital parts..." Lin Xue analyzed.

"Protective gear, huh..."

Mu You stroked his chin in contemplation. In short, it was necessary to keep as much of the body protected as possible. In extreme cases, if one’s entire body is encased in armor, making oneself like an iron barrel, it might be possible to directly ignore the chain!

Of course, carrying such a heavy load would drastically limit one’s movement in combat and turn you into a punching bag, which would not be beneficial overall.

However, speaking of an iron barrel, Mu You did think of the mechanical armor skin.

If the chain indeed only works on living flesh, would it be totally ineffective against his mechanical armor skin?

While it’s not certain yet, it’s always good to have a backup plan.

Also, there is another advantage they have — they already know about Red Sleeve’s in-game attributes.

At least in terms of agility, both he and Lin Xue have higher Agility Values than the other party. So they will not be at a disadvantage when it comes to speed.

This topic could only be discussed up until this point for the time being.

After closing the private chat with Lin Xue, Mu You contacted Jiu You, commissioning him to look after Sagittarius recently, and also shared some news about the World Walker.

"Finger? Armor?"

Jiu You was startled when he first heard this news. Did this mean that the god has already met the other party?

"It’s not confirmed yet, just a guess. If you happen to meet the other side unknowingly, you can try using these two methods to counterattack," Mu You said.

"All right, I understand. Don’t worry, god, I will take care of the hidden in mist matter," Jiu You replied.

Jiu You did not ask further since the other party did not openly express any plans. In fact, they really did not have the time to deal with this World Walker recently.

Right after Sun City, will be the cities of Sunset and Twilight. The squads of Dragon and Ice Emperor have been making preparations for the upcoming city capture recently.

Having taken care of Sagittarius, Mu You finally had the time to switch back to the game.

The old man in the game was still sleeping while his character was in the charging station creating parts on autopilot, so there was nothing to do for the time being.

Mu You took advantage of this to rest for a while. After all, when the old man wakes up, he might again make demands on Mu You as if he were a nanny, allowing no time to rest.

Reality proved that his concerns were not superfluous.

Early the next day, not long after Mu You woke up, the text in the game began to change.

[... After waking up, Old Goblin Barney continues to inspect the blueprint notes while enjoying the massage from the helper robot.]

[The Old Goblin suddenly turned around, irritably looked at the helper robot, and ordered it to stop and continue its work.]

[Old Goblin Barney then looked in your direction, his gaze sweeping over the line of robots near the charging station, mumbling to himself: "Who was the one massaging my shoulder last night? That force was just right... Number 13, it was you, wasn’t it?"]

[Number 13, that’s your mecha’s number.]

[Apparently, the osteoporosis-riddled Old Goblin was impressed by your massage skills last night. Among the robots in the room, only you had the ideal strength, and he hopes to continue enjoying your services...]

"emmm..."

Mu You was exasperated.

He had purposefully tried to blend into the crowd, but he was still singled out.

Moreover, the reason he was singled out was his massage skills which had given the other party ’enjoyment.’ Was this the rhythm of promoting him to be the housekeeper...?

Mu You was quite speechless, but also helpless. He had no choice but to obey, otherwise, all of yesterday’s hard work would be in vain.

The following time was spent in a flurry of activity by Mu You.

He was busy meeting the whimsical demands of the old goblin in the game, while in the real world he was constantly checking the forum.

Today was the day the "Sun City" was born, and the time that the Lions requested for support was around 12 noon. Looking at the time, it was almost there.

Indeed, around two o’clock in the afternoon, a system message suddenly popped up in the game.
