Chapter 671: Chapter 356 Louise’s Diary_1

[The appearance of the Alchemy Remnants made you realize that this paper mill operates on robots, providing you the possibility to discreetly infiltrate using the TK2300 skin.]

[Just as you were about to act, you suddenly notice an unidentified flying object approaching in the sky. You decide to...]

"Unidentified flying object?"

Mu You was already prepared to take action, but new messages popped up unexpectedly, so he could only wait.

[You choose to bide your time.]

[As the flying object approached, you see that it’s a dilapidated airship, appearing like a blimp covered with metal. Chimneys around it were puffing out rings of smoke as it wobbled toward you from the horizon.]

[Shortly afterwards, the airship landed in the open area in front of Luke’s house’s courtyard.]

[A delivery boy got out from the cockpit and opened the cargo door, taking out all the goods from the storage box.]

[Stacks of brand-new cleaning robots were piled on the ground.]

Seeing the airship, Mu You originally believed that another goblin had arrived, but it turned out to be just a human delivery man. Apparently, this person might be the supplier to Luke’s house, and he happened to arrive during the handover of goods.

This makes things much easier!

[While both sides are conversing, you switch to the TK2300 skin, disguising yourself as a cleaning robot and slowly approaching the pile of goods.]

[You get to the front of the goods, blending perfectly amongst the cleaning robots that are yet to be switched on.]

[You hear the conversation between the two people in front of you.]

["...The quality of the robots recently is so poor. The last batch broke down five times just after half a month of usage. Tell me, are the ones you’re selling me defective?"]

["Nonsense, where else can you find robot production now? These are genuine, directly shipped from the Clockwork City!"]

["If you don’t want to buy, forget it. Let me tell you, there’s been an accident in Clockwork City. The goblins disappeared overnight, cutting off the supply chain. There won’t be any more robot deliveries in the future, and this batch I have is the final one. There are plenty of people who want to buy if you don’t..."]

...

Mu You could see the two arguing non-stop in the text. One was trying to lower the price, the other was trying to hike it up. After wrangling for half an hour, they finally reached an agreement: all the cleaning robots would be bought at the price for a ten-year lifespan each.

[You see the two parties finish their transaction, and the delivery boy flies off in the airship.]

[Luke comes out from the courtyard pushing a cart, loading all the robots one by one onto the cart.]

[Through a quick count, Luke’s face revealed a smile of gratification: "The delivery guy can’t count. I paid for fifteen, but he gave me sixteen. Serves him right to take a loss..."]

[You, along with the other robots, were transported in the cart into the interior of the paper mill. The cart stopped in front of the third row of paper cabinets against the north wall.]

[Luke walks to the front of the cabinets and knocks on the wooden surface thrice.]

[Several seconds later, the cabinet moves aside automatically, revealing a tunnel entrance on the emptied ground.]

[A man of two meters, with a stick-like slender figure, walks out from the tunnel.]

["Sir, these are the new batch of goods, please inspect them," Luke’s voice.]

[Upon hearing his words, the Stick Man walks up to the cart, using the Levitation Spell to unload the robots one by one, inspecting each.]

[Your disguise is impeccable, and he doesn’t detect any anomalies.]

[You notice that there’s a shadow under this man’s feet, a mismatching one of a short boy.]

[After the inspection, the Stick Man plans to take all the robots back into the tunnel.]

[Just as the Stick Man was about to leave, Luke hurryingly came forward to stop him, ingratiatingly inquired: "Sir, about my shadow, when do you think...]

["What’s the hurry?" The Stick Man glared unpleasantly at Luke: "There’s still a line of people waiting, and your Contribution Value is still insufficient. Work hard, and when you’ve accumulated enough Contribution Value, you’ll naturally be assigned a shadow.]

["Understood, understood!" Luke immediately nodded and bowed down, not daring to ask any more questions.]

"Shadow? As in the Shadow Ghost?"

Mu You frowned while watching. Does this mean that the Undead would distribute the Shadow Ghost as a reward to people beneath them?

If people in the Undead have already mastered the technology of controlling the Shadow Ghost, meaning they can arbitrarily graft the Shadow Ghost as someone else’s shadow, then it would imply that there could be multiple Shadow Ghosts inside the Undead, which can be regarded as tangible Combat Power...

[You are manipulated by the Levitation Technique and follow the Stick Man into the deep tunnel.]

[After a long transfer, you arrive at a spacious underground factory. The roads around are clearly layered and sprawling in all directions. The lanes are well-lit, with numerous rooms opened up along both sides of the corridor.]

[The Stick Man issues a work command to all the cleaning robots around: "Your task is to clean the ever-increasing damp spots on the walls of the buildings inside the palace, transport the insect corpses scattered everywhere, along with household trash, and so on. The entire palace is divided into five areas: east, west, south, north, and central. For energy refills, go to the energy room in the central area. You don’t have any fixed working area, every building you see falls within your cleaning range. But remember, do not enter the marked area to the west without an order!"]

As soon as the Stick Man arrived, he assigned a set of tasks to the robots. Clearly, this underground factory produces a substantial amount of trash every day, requiring this many cleaning robots to work non-stop.
