Thump thump...
Thump thump...
Accompanied by a special digging sound, solidified blue-gray metal blocks fell from the wall and flew into Yang Tao's body.
Another half an hour passed, and Yang Tao had already dug out a huge space.
Waving the Builder Staff in his hand, transparent glass instantly enveloped the space.
"Indeed, the efficiency of digging with a pickaxe is too low; it still has to be liquid gallium…"
For convenience of acquisition, Yang Tao did not use glass but directly replaced the wall with a wooden door, so that he would not have to worry about liquid gallium flowing in, and it would also be convenient for Villagers to acquire liquid gallium in the future.
He took out a bucket of milk from his backpack and drank it, dispelling the Poisoning effect on him.
"Metal Poisoning…"
Level 75's tags are [Unsafe] [Unstable] [Entity-Free].
Although there are no Entity infringements, the liquid gallium and metal poisoning phenomena make it almost impossible for a Wanderer to survive on this level.
He looked at the safe base with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to go to the Spider-Man world to have Doctor Octavius get a few industrial heaters, a sound similar to raindrops came from outside the base.
The solid gallium began to melt, dripping like wax. Looking at the world outside that was gradually turning into liquid, a scene appeared in Yang Tao's mind.
A Wanderer who accidentally entered Level 75's Gallium Cave explored within the cave, then found that the surrounding temperature gradually increased, and drops of unknown liquid metal dripped onto his body and the ground…
Then the ground under his feet also gradually softened from solid, and the Wanderer had no way to escape, being swallowed by this level in despair.
Just as he was letting his thoughts run wild, the melting speed of the liquid gallium became faster and faster.
"The conversion cycle is so fast? What kind of Wanderer could survive here…?"
Yang Tao took out a bucket and walked to the entrance.
Energy Value +320
Energy Value +320
…
Just as Yang Tao was happily earning Energy Value, a hint of orange appeared in his line of sight.
An irregular orange metal block flowed over with the liquid gallium.
"Orange metallic gallium? How come this thing didn't turn into liquid?"
Finding and touching a small piece of orange gallium in Level 75 will take you to Level 16.
This is considered the 'key' to leaving Level 75's Gallium Cave.
Yang Tao first summoned a wooden door to prevent being accidentally teleported away. Looking at the orange metallic gallium constantly tumbling with the flow, he carefully used an Iron Skin to aim at its location, silently thinking of using it.
The liquid gallium disappeared, and the orange metallic gallium was left in place.
Seeing this, Yang Tao breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"That scared me to death. It would be troublesome if the Villagers were sent away while working later."
Yang Tao continued to excitedly scoop up the surrounding liquid gallium. As time passed, the Poisoning effect appeared on him again.
He took out a bucket of milk and drank it, and a new orange metallic gallium appeared before him.
"Is this trying to send me away?"
Not only did orange metallic gallium appear in front of him, but through the glass ceiling, more orange metallic gallium could be seen tumbling on the ceiling.
After a moment of thought.
Yang Tao decided to go to Level 16 to check the situation.
There were very few records about Level 16 in the database, and even its specific form was unclear, with only scattered fragments of information remaining.
Yang Tao reached his hand into the liquid gallium and grabbed the orange metallic gallium. The next moment, the surrounding environment changed.
He appeared out of thin air in a dense rainforest. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and scattered raindrops were falling sparsely.
[Special Gallium Patch]
Value: 3240 Energy Value
"So valuable? I should have grabbed more earlier…"
Looking at the orange metallic gallium in his hand, Yang Tao never expected this thing to be so valuable.
He directly exchanged the metallic gallium for Energy Value. Yang Tao looked at the surrounding rainforest, which looked similar to the Amazon rainforest seen on television.
Dense trees, rushing rivers, and the sounds of unknown animals.
He lightly leaped into the sky.
'The gravity feels off…'
The gravity in this Level 16 seemed much lighter than in the normal world and other levels. He only leaped lightly and jumped to a height of over thirty meters.
The rainforest was vast; he couldn't see any boundaries at a glance. Although various animal sounds filled the surroundings, Yang Tao didn't see a single living creature.
"Rainforest World…"
Suddenly, an abnormal patch of white caught his attention—a building hidden within the rainforest.
"A building? Level 16 has this kind of thing?"
Using the Moonwalk skill, he flew towards the building hidden in the rainforest, and a hospital occupying a very large area appeared in his sight.
The hospital's exterior walls were pure white, with dense windows, and through the windows, he could see some figures moving inside the hospital.
The hospital and the rainforest, two completely mismatched things, were thus forcibly put together.
'Jili Mental Hospital'
A huge sign stood at the hospital entrance.
"An F-version mental hospital??"
He landed at the hospital entrance, summoned a wooden door leading to the Overworld, and then walked towards the interior of the hospital.
Passing through the open glass doors at the hospital entrance, a unique hospital disinfectant smell entered his nose.
He looked back, and the scene outside the door had not changed; it was still the rainforest scene.
'It seems these two really count as one level…'
The hospital lobby was very empty.
Just as he was about to explore, an adult Faceling wearing a patient gown walked out from a distant corridor.
[HP 62/62]
When the Faceling saw him, it did not hesitate and rushed towards him.
The bright red border indicated that this guy did not want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
"Its HP is indeed at least one-third higher than a normal Faceling. It seems this place has also been affected."
He raised his hand and extended his index finger.
"Bang…"
Yang Tao made a
bang
sound from his mouth, and a faintly visible phantom flew from his hand, hitting the Faceling's head.
Rokushiki: Finger Pistol.
The Faceling's body flew backward and slammed heavily onto the ground, losing all signs of life.
He brought his index finger to his mouth and lightly blew away the non-existent gunpowder smoke. Yang Tao smiled and murmured, "Finger Pistol is quite effective."
He stepped over the Faceling's corpse and walked deeper into the hospital corridor. On both sides of the hallway were numerous doors, and through the glass panels on the ward doors, he could see the scenes inside the wards.
Some storage cabinets were arranged irregularly in the hallway, with some cabinet doors wide open, revealing various items placed inside.
He reached into a cabinet and took out a bottle of gray almond water. It was clear that these storage cabinets were where this level 'refreshed' its supplies.
He continued walking forward, habitually glancing into a ward through the glass window on the ward door.
A glowing Smiler was pressed against the glass.
"Holy crap!"
Startled, Yang Tao kicked the ward door.
Bang…
The ward door, along with the Smiler behind it, flew directly into the dark ward.
"You scared the hell out of me!"
