Chapter 146 -129: Brass Carriage Beacon, Puppet Factory_3

[Amid the heavy and sharp sound of metal friction, you gradually push open the brass doors of the factory…]

[A pungent smell of machine oil hits you straight on, as lamps light up the scenery inside the factory…]

[Large, messily placed brass lathes, and various unidentified machines are all halted, leaving only the spaces amongst the large equipment as narrow pathways.]

[You faintly hear tiny footsteps coming from deep within the factory…]

[Upon entering the factory, a familiar glow is right next to you, a large page floating in mid-air.]

[You found a page fragment of the Book of Salvation—the Rest Page!]

Lin Xun’s heart leapt with joy.

If the Puppet Factory has a Rest Page, even if he dies, he can respawn instantly, without wasting time on traveling.

[You reach out to touch the Rest Page, and the mysterious residual power within it makes your heart throb. The ordinary Wandering Souls resonate strongly with this book page.]

[You are resonating with the Rest Page of ‘Sofia City’s Puppet Factory’…]

After setting the Rest Page as his new respawn point, Lin Xun decides not to switch back to his Dancer Shell, but to continue exploring in his Earth Giant Shell.

[You squeeze past the messily placed lathes, unavoidably getting some black grease on yourself.]

[After traversing these massive machines, there are assembly line after assembly line, what’s strange is that parts on the workbenches have mostly disappeared, leaving only rusted, damaged brass limbs.]

[Your arrival seems to have caught the attention of some existence deep within the factory!]

[Soft footsteps are heard, and three figures rapidly approach you…]

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

[As the figures get closer, you realize those are three young girls draped in black-and-white maid attire.]

[However, all three maidens suffer from varying degrees of limb loss. Under the lamp’s light, their severed section reflects a metallic sheen.]

[Facing you expressionlessly, the ‘Junior Combat Maid Dolls’ surround you. Their slender arms and straight legs transform into sharp blades with a click…]

[What will you do?]

[1. Raise your colossal ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’, engage them in an epic battle, and let the Maid Dolls learn about your special prowess.]

[2. Kneel and beg for mercy. Perhaps the Maid Dolls will spare you, given your good looks, and engage you in a deep conversation.]

[3. Shake your ‘Brass Sand Hammer’, summoning a ‘Support Maid Doll’. Maybe something wonderful will happen when they meet.]

Lin Xun initially wanted to choose the first option and confront them head on.

But the appearance of the third option dissuades him from that thought.

Perhaps summoning the ‘Support Maid Doll’ may make these ‘Combat Maid Dolls’ submit to him, or unveil some hidden subplot.

He chooses the third option.

[You pull out the ‘Brass Sand Hammer’ and shake it lightly…]

[Accompanied by a rustling sound, you’ve summoned the frail and petite ‘Support Maid Doll’.]

The Maid Doll, who was studying the dictionary in the living room, disappears in a flash.

[Upon seeing three dolls with blade-transformed arms, the ‘Support Maid Doll’ gets scared and hides behind you, refusing to come out.]

[The ‘Junior Combat Maid Dolls’ seeing a doll with complete limbs and intact parts, their pitch-black eyes gleaming with greed, they all pounce on you…]

Damn!

Do the dolls also cannibalize each other?

[With your feet rooted to the ground, endless power surges in your Shell…]

[You let out a roar, the ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ in your hand comes crashing down with immense force!]

[Amid the loud boom, brass parts explode everywhere, scattering across the ground.]

[You’ve defeated a ‘Junior Combat Maid Doll’, your experience slightly increases.]

[You acquired a ‘Common Refined Copper Gear’ (material).]

[A transformed brass blade darts at you, but is blocked by a ‘Dragon Knight’s Regenerative Scale Mail’, unable to advance an inch.]

[With mace in hand, you smash each of the other two dolls that dare to attack you, one by one.]

[You’ve defeated a ‘Junior Combat Maid Doll’, your experience slightly increases.]

[You’ve defeated a ‘Junior Combat Maid Doll’, your experience slightly increases.]

[You acquired a ‘Common Refined Copper Connecting Rod’ (material).]

[You acquired a ‘Common Refined Copper Mainspring’ (material).]

The game didn’t provide any Shell text nor possession options.

It’s natural not to see text since the three Maid Dolls have been smashed into parts.

Given that three complete Maid Shells are probably not possessible, as puppet dolls are not considered living beings, one certainly can’t become a robot.

Lin Xun opens up his inventory.

[‘Common Refined Copper Gear’ (material), a gear made from the most inferior quality of refined copper. It can be used in some form of machinery assembly.]

The description for the other two materials is similar to this one.

Lin Xun has a hunch about these three materials.

Whether this speculation is correct or not, he’ll have to meet the ‘Puppet Craftsman’ Bennett mentioned to find out.

Having stored the materials, he continues to explore deeper into the factory…
