Soon, under Master Zuo An’s manipulation, Nafiboja’s eyes slowly began to glow.

“There, it’s fixed, I’ve just repaired its energy supply system. To fully repair it, you’ll need a large amount of special materials, which you must gather from Scorching Gorge, or you could try your luck at the auction house…” Zuo An nodded, shutting off the equipment on the operating console before saying to Song Jian, “Additionally, please pay a maintenance fee of one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins!”

After paying the money, Song Jian opened his mission panel, only to find that the escort mission was still in “in progress” status, which caused him to frown.

Just as Song Jian was about to put Nafiboja’s mechanical head back in his inventory, he discovered that it had again become an item he couldn’t store.

“Could it be because Nafiboja has regained self-awareness?” Song Jian speculated. Although Nafiboja was just an intelligent robot, its behaviors had always made Song Jian suspect that it possessed a self-awareness not inferior to that of humans.

At that moment, the lights in Master Zuo An’s operating room started to flicker, accompanied by the “crackle and pop” of electrical currents, resembling the state of an unstable voltage.

“What’s going on, why is this happening here?” Zuo An’s brow furrowed as he operated the repair mecha towards the electric control room. After walking just a couple of steps, the entire workshop’s equipment malfunctioned simultaneously, with chaotic lines and unintelligible symbols appearing on all the instrument screens. Some equipment even burst into black smoke with a loud “boom,” apparently destroyed by an electrical short circuit.

“Oh, my God, damn it, what on earth is happening!” Panic spread across Zuo An’s face, he no longer ran towards the electric control room, but towards the workshop’s main door instead.

When Song Jian looked down at Nafiboja’s mechanical head, he saw the same images appearing in its eyes as were on the screens of the surrounding equipment.

“Is all this her doing?” Song Jian’s frown deepened, and he glanced worriedly at Master Zuo An. If Zuo An found out it was Nafiboja’s doing, Song Jian probably wouldn’t be able to leave the building today.

Fortunately, as Zuo An reached the workshop door in a state of panic, originally intending to call for help, he discovered that the entire building seemed to be experiencing the same problem; people in a state of panic were running out everywhere. The smart robots guiding adventurers seemed to have all malfunctioned as well, some were spinning in place, while others continuously crashed into walls and pillars as if all systems had failed.

“Someone is hacking into the building’s control system!” Suddenly someone yelled, the sound echoing through the building amidst piercing alarm bells sounding throughout the structure.

Song Jian quickly walked to the doorway and saw groups of black armored guards wielding energy weapons rushing towards the central control room, while another group of black-armored guards blocked all the entrances and exits of the building.

Song Jian’s worry grew, but soon, after about fifteen minutes, the situation seemed to have been resolved. Both the lighting and the various instruments in Master Zuo An’s workshop returned to normal.

The alarm was canceled, and it seemed like it was just a false alarm. Master Zuo An returned to the workshop cursing and operating his mecha, and when he saw Song Jian, he asked in surprise, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Song Jian, somewhat speechless, bowed to Zuo An and left the workshop. At that moment, he suddenly noticed that the mechanical head of Nafiboja, which had restored its energy supply system, had once again extinguished the light in its eyes, seemingly reverting to its damaged state from before.

Song Jian didn’t dare to return to Master Zuo An’s repair room and tried to put the item in his bag, but found it easily went back in. Moreover, the name of this mechanical skull had changed.

Originally, no matter what state this mechanical skull was in, its name was always “Nafiboja”, but now, the name of the mechanical skull had become “Damaged Mechanical Skull”.

Song Jian hesitated for a moment, then a lightbulb went off in his head, and he quickly opened the quest tab to look. To his delight, he found that the escort quest was marked as “Complete” and he could receive the quest rewards at any time.

Eager to get his rewards, Song Jian immediately chose the “Receive Quest Rewards” option, and two item boxes with a metallic luster appeared in his bag. Both boxes were unlocked, and he could click on them to open and retrieve the items inside. At the same time, Song Jian’s combat experience had greatly increased. The quest rewards were very generous and matched the difficulty of the quest.

When Song Jian opened the two item boxes, one contained the Skill Scroll, Heart of Slaughter, and the other was the Swordsman Immortal set piece he had long dreamt of, the Swordsman Immortal’s Radiant Slaughter Gauntlets.

Swordsman Immortal’s Radiant Slaughter Gauntlets (Legendary): Equipment Requirements: Strength 300, Agility 280, Spirit 300, Level 120;

Item Description: These are the legendary gauntlets of the exclusive Swordsman Immortal profession, embodying the unyielding spirit of the Swordsman Immortal. One must have received the Swordsman Immortal heritage and its recognition to be qualified to wear them.

Item Stats: Physical Defense +550, Resistance +380, Attack Speed increased by 50%, Toughness +30, Strength +100, Agility +80, Spirit +150, 50% chance to block normal attacks, Set component 1/8. Once equipped, the item will bind to the soul, becoming undroppable and untradeable.

Item Special Effect: Peerless (active), when activated, damage increases by 50%, movement speed by 30%, and makes wearer immune to all status effects that reduce movement speed for 10 seconds; cooldown time 120 minutes.

Song Jian looked at the equipment requirements and took a deep breath. To equip this item, not only did he have to meet the level requirement, but also the three stat requirements were crucial, and most importantly, he needed to have inherited the Swordsman Immortal tradition and obtained its approval–what was this nonsense?

“The stat requirements are manageable, I could just gather some equipment that increases stats, but a level requirement of 120? How long will it take me to reach that level?” Song Jian sighed deeply as he looked at the gauntlets shimmering with violet-gold light.

Level 120, which represents the pinnacle of third-tier combat power, would take Song Jian five or six years of tireless leveling to possibly reach, suggesting that this hard-earned piece of the Swordsman Immortal set would be gathering dust in storage for the foreseeable future.

Song Jian sighed, shifting his gaze back to the other quest reward item in his bag, the Heart of Slaughter Skill Scroll. This was a skill many players wished to acquire; what’s more, it was a common skill usable by all professions.

Because of this skill, adventurers had even established a guild named after it, Heart of Slaughter. Almost all of its members were Assassins. In fact, Heart of Slaughter was an assassin organization. Only adventurers who mastered the skill could join, and the most powerful entity in this organization was known as the King of Slaughter, the ruler of the entire organization.

“Let’s see what’s so special about this skill that it has so many people vying for it…” Song Jian mumbled to himself as he carefully examined the properties of the Skill Scroll.
