1168 The Thing on the Fourth Level
Sima You Yue turned around, drawing her hair along which also pulled him up. “Let’s go, I don’t know what it is.”
Wu Lingyu was pulled along with her. They went to the small tower in the Spirit PaG.o.da.
Sima You Yue seldom came here. She usually had Little Spirit take whatever she needed from there and wouldn’t come here specially.
Every time she came here, she would remember how she said those words and was struck by lightning and got an afro.
Little Spirit appeared. “I thought you forgot about this.”
“I have been busy lately?” Sima You Yue said. “Why don’t you tell me what’s in it instead of having me come.”
“You’ll know when you look through.” Little Spirit kept her in suspense. “Let’s go.”
He led Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu in. They ascended level by level and stopped when they were between the third and fourth level.
A faint cloudy mist enveloped the upper stairs. Since Sima You Yue hadn’t gone up before, it hadn’t dispersed.
“Go up.” Little Spirit said to her.
Sima You Yue nodded and stepped up.
Those cloudy mist slowly dispersed as she ascended to the fourth level. All the cloudy mist dissipated the moment she reached.
Wu Lingyu followed. The two of them stood in front of the gate of the fourth level, waiting to see what was inside that caused Little Spirit to be so mysterious.
Sima You You took a deep breath. She stretched out her hand and slowly opened the door.
This floor was different from the other floors. IIt wasn’t a mountainscape world nor was it a mine. It was just a big dark room. A very, very large one at that.
“It’s so dark. It’s covered entirely in dust.” Sima You Yue waved her hand in front.
“You became stupid after getting injured.” Little Spirit said contemptuously.
She had been getting better and better recently, which he almost forgot about the times he always despised her.
“…” Black lines formed on her face. This guy was trying her again.
Didn’t he say that she could control it? He could just remind her instead of giving her such undisguised contempt.
She willed and the dark room immediately became bright. But the sudden scenery stunned her. Even Wu Lingyu was surprised as well.
After a while, Sima You Yue came back to her senses. She looked at the pile of sc.r.a.p iron in front. She asked in disbelief, “Is this the thing on the fourth level?”
“Yes!” Little Spirit replied affirmatively.
Sima You Yue’s mouth twitched. No wonder this guy wanted her to come see for herself. If he told her that, she wouldn’t believe it.
Little Spirit looked at her disdain and rolled his eyes. “You really think they are a pile of sc.r.a.p iron?”
“Isn’t it?” Sima You Yue turned around confused.
Little Spirit couldn’t help rolling his eyes again. “That is treasure!”
“Treasure?” Sima You Yue picked up a piece shaped like a hand. She really didn’t see how it was a treasure.
“I said your stupid and you’re acting dumb!” Little Spirit reproached. “The real thing is inside, not here! behind!”
Only then did Sima You Yue know behind the room, which was bigger than a few football fields filled with broken sc.r.a.p iron, was a door.
“Why didn’t you say earlier?” She rolled her eyes back at Little Spirit. Holding Wu Lingyu, she stepped past the pile of sc.r.a.p iron.
“They are all treasures. But you don’t have the ability so you can only regard them as broken pieces of metal.” Little Spirit said.
“Really? Then you try, turn them into treasures and let me see.” Sima You Yue retorted.
“If I had that ability, would I still be an artifact spirit?” Little Spirit glared at her.
Sima You Yue curled her lips and ignored him. The broken sc.r.a.p iron under my feet was very uneven. She had to walk carefully. Hmm, it was just like that.
They walked for a while before they came to the opposite side. After treading over a pile of sc.r.a.p iron, she finally saw something that resembled a door.
They went down and Wu Lingyu went to open the door. But the door remained motionless.
“You can’t, only she can open it.” Little Spirit said.
This was her place, only she can come and go freely here.
Sima You Yue walked over and pushed gently. The door opened.
Behind the door was a dark area. With her previous experience, Sima You Yue willed and it became daytime.
“Hiss—–”
After seeing the things here, she took a deep breath. Machine-like people stood neatly in line while outside was just a combination of broken sc.r.a.p metal.
“Are these mechas?!” She covered her mouth in disbelief.
“That’s right.” Little Spirit confirmed. “I said those were sc.r.a.p metals. But you don’t know how they are used so that’s why you thought so.”
“Okay, I admit you are right this time.” Sima You Yue came over and reached out to touch one of the mechas.
These mechas in the opinions of the people of the continent and that of the previous life’s robots for ordinary people. They were a tall existence. It is said that the fighting power of a mecha is more powerful than the spirit beasts of the same level.
“This is really surprising, there are actually mechas.” Sima You Yue exclaimed. “But how do you control these?”
“How do I know.” Little Spirit replied. “No one among my former masters did those.”
“Do you know?” Sima You Yue asked.
“I know a bit. But I’m particularly familiar with it.” Wu Lingyu answered.
He had only heard of this before going to the Devil Realm. He hadn’t encountered this before, even after he went to the Devil Realm, he didn’t find out more.
“What do you know?”
“I am the control method of the lowest level mecha.” Wu Lingyu replied. “It seems that different levels had different control methods.”
“Oh.” Sima You Yue never thought that Wu Lingyu knew everything. “Then tell me the basics. When I go out, I will go look in the books for more information.”
“Then you still have to differentiate the levels.” Little Spirit said.
“Where does it require me to differentiate levels? Isn’t it obvious? You can easily tell.” Sima You Yue replied.
“Oh? You became smarter?” Little Spirit asked.
“…”
Sima You Yue couldn’t bear it. She pulled him into her arms and rubbed his face vigorously.
“These mechas are in different appearances. It’s impossible that the finer they are, the lower level they are? I can still understand this!”
She had noticed the appearance of the mecha in each area was different. Some were rough and some were fine. They were easily ranked at first glance.
Some even look similar to real people, but they lacked expressions.
Suddenly, her hand stopped. Her face was surprised as she held Little Spirit and walked towards one of the mechas.
