As if to prove himself, Wang Defa suddenly leaped into the air from a hundred meters away and slammed his fist into the ground with tremendous force.
BOOM!!!!
A single punch shook the earth and mountains!
Scar Dog, his expression shocked, grabbed Li Hao beside him to steady himself. After regaining his balance, he stared at the cracked ground nearby, unable to suppress his disbelief.
"You fucking cheating bastard!" he roared.
The ground trembled slightly from Wang Defa's punch. The earth beneath him shattered like a spiderweb, radiating cracks across the surface.
Zhao Ritian watched the scene, his lips twitching involuntarily.
This is absurd.
That's not a fist—it's a human-shaped pile driver!
Chen Jiang's eyes, which had just dimmed, instantly brightened. The power of this punch far exceeded his expectations.
While only fist-kills of mutated beasts rewarded a one-star item, this punch could easily obliterate seven or eight mutated beasts in a single strike, with a speed comparable to firearms.
Chen Jiang nodded in satisfaction at the cracks spiderwebbing across the ground before turning his gaze to Wang Defa.
"Each time you kill a mutated beast, your physical attributes increase, right?"
"Yes."
"I'll send you to a place teeming with mutated beasts."
"You can slaughter them without restraint, rapidly enhancing your physical abilities. But all one-star items dropped by the beasts you kill must be given to me."
"This..."
Standing a hundred meters away, Wang Defa hesitated, unable to immediately respond.
In truth, this deal was highly advantageous for him.
After all, even a mountain of one-star items remained just that—one-star items—offering negligible improvement to his overall strength.
In contrast, the rapid physical enhancement gained from slaughtering mutated beasts was tangible and substantial.
Theoretically, if he killed enough mutated beasts, he could even go toe-to-toe with a titan!
"Alright!"
Wang Defa nodded decisively after only a brief moment of contemplation.
"Excellent," Scar Dog said, nodding in satisfaction. He turned to Chen Jiang. "Brother Jiang, shall we send him in now?"
"Naturally," Chen Jiang replied with a cheerful nod.
"Go ahead."
Wang Defa stood in a white space, staring blankly at the light gate before him. Through the portal, he saw a dense swarm of mutated beasts, sending shivers down his spine.
Are there a few too many mutated beasts in there?
At that moment, a voice crackled through the walkie-talkie in his hand: "The teleportation gate will remain open, and communication will be maintained. If you start feeling overwhelmed, just let us know through the walkie-talkie."
"Oh, and if you get tired or need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
"Your only task is to kill mutated beasts and try to fill all three space bracelets on your arm."
"Alright, good luck, kid."
Wang Defa hesitated briefly before striding confidently through the gate.
To him, this place was paradise.
He could enhance his physical abilities to an absurd degree!
"Whew!"
Scar Dog let out a sigh of relief, leaning back wearily in his chair. He set the walkie-talkie aside and said with a hint of resignation, "I never imagined our fifth teammate would be a walkie-talkie."
"Speaking of which, could we somehow extend the world tree's tireless effect to Wang Defa? That way, he could work 24/7."
"Impossible," Chen Jiang replied, shaking his head. "The tireless effect only masks fatigue; it doesn't prevent it. People would still die from exhaustion, they just wouldn't feel it until their last breath."
"Wang Defa can't die."
"He can kill 30 mutated beasts in a minute. Working 12 hours a day, he could harvest over 20,000 one-star items daily."
"Over 20,000 one-star items a day."
Chen Jiang pondered briefly, then shook his head. "Still too slow. Scar Dog, see if you can design a Perpetual Motion Machine Series Product."
"Doesn't his innate ability only guarantee one-star item drops from mutated beasts he kills with his fists?"
"Figure out a way to help him design a Perpetual Motion Machine Series Product that will let him kill faster."
"Hmm..." Scar Dog nodded thoughtfully. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I think I have an idea, Brother Jiang. Let me think it through."
An hour later, Chen Jiang glanced at the blueprints in Scar Dog's hand, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Can these modifications actually work?"
"Trust me," Scar Dog declared confidently, patting his chest. "My perpetual motion machine is called the 'Humanoid High-Speed Automatic Pile Driver.' It's guaranteed to work."
Meanwhile, Wang Defa, drenched in sweat, had been brought up and was standing about a hundred meters away from Chen Jiang and the others, clutching his walkie-talkie. "What's up, Brother Jiang?" he shouted.
He was enjoying the slaughter even more now, the sensation of his strength constantly surging was utterly intoxicating.
"How many mutated beasts have you killed in the past hour?" Scar Dog shouted into his walkie-talkie.
"Lost count," Wang Defa replied, tossing the space bracelet toward Chen Jiang and the others. "Check how many are in there."
Scar Dog picked up the bracelet and carefully counted the items. "Over 900?" he said, slightly surprised.
"Not bad. 900 items in just one hour."
Of course, most of these one-star items were trash, offering little to no combat enhancement.
But who cared?
As long as they were one-star items, that was enough.
Scar Dog nodded in satisfaction and planted a massive steel pipe upright in the ground.
The pipe, roughly two to three meters in diameter, had a large hole drilled about 1.6 meters above the ground.
"Brother Jiang, see this pipe?" Scar Dog said, his voice tinged with pride. "I'm going to place the exit of a phantom gate at the top, making all the mutated beasts from the white space fall out of it."
"This setup has three advantages."
"First, Wang Defa won't have to defend against attacks from all sides. He won't have to keep switching between bombing the front and the back. Instead, he can focus on punching the mutated beasts as they emerge from the hole, like playing whack-a-mole."
"Second, the air here is fresher and cooler, not stuffy and hot. This will keep him comfortable and boost his efficiency."
"Third, the world tree here will prevent Wang Defa from feeling fatigue. Of course, we won't make him work all day, but at least we can guarantee he won't tire during his shifts, further enhancing his efficiency."
"That's it?" Chen Jiang frowned slightly. "If that's all, it doesn't seem particularly special."
"How could it not be?" Scar Dog shook his head earnestly. "Brother Jiang, remember this: Scar Dog's creations are always top-notch."
With that, Scar Dog crushed an energy stone, and a metal frame suddenly materialized beside the hole.
Zhao Ritian and Li Hao rushed over to nail the frame securely to the ground, then wrapped it in layers of thick foam padding.
Without pausing, the two men pulled out two 1.5-meter-tall frames from their chests. Each frame had a concave, curved plate at the top, which they inserted between the cage and the steel pipe.
Having completed these preparations, they immediately ran to Scar Dog's side.
Scar Dog nodded in satisfaction, then raised the walkie-talkie to his lips. "Brother, see that cage? Go inside."
"This one?" Wang Defa stepped into the cage, his expression odd as he scanned his surroundings.
The cage was small, barely large enough to hold him alone, giving it a strange appearance.
At that moment, Scar Dog spoke again. "Soon, many mutated beasts will fall from above the steel pipe in front of you. Your job is to aim at the holes in front of you, like playing whack-a-mole, and smash the mutated beasts with your fists as they appear."
"This cage will keep you steady, preventing you from wobbling or falling."
"See those two frames with curved iron plates wrapped in foam at the top?"
"Those are armrests to help you conserve energy!"
"I see!"
A flicker of understanding flashed in Wang Defa's eyes as he gazed resolutely at the cave entrance before him. Scar Dog was indeed a clever man; this setup would significantly improve his efficiency in killing mutated beasts.
Moreover, he wouldn't need to worry about his rear. He could simply focus on the cave entrance and keep throwing punches, like playing whack-a-mole—much more convenient.
Besides, the ground was noticeably cooler than the white space he'd been in earlier.
At this rate, his physical conditioning would undoubtedly improve even faster.
He nodded in satisfaction and called out to Scar Dog, who was standing nearby, "I'm ready. Let's begin!"
"One more thing!" Scar Dog shouted into his walkie-talkie. "See those two nooses hanging from your cage?"
"Put them around your arm joints."
"Yes, exactly there."
"Perfect. Now, there are two more nooses in front of you. See them? Put those around your wrists."
"Excellent."
Scar Dog nodded approvingly, then growled, "Tense up!"
The next moment—
The four nooses around Wang Defa's arms suddenly snapped taut!
Wang Defa stared in bewilderment at his arms, now suspended in mid-air, utterly confused. He hadn't yet grasped the purpose of these ropes.
But at that moment...
A voice boomed from the distance:
"Machine No. 1, activate!"
As the command echoed, Wang Defa felt a sudden, telescoping tension in the joint of his left arm, forcing his hand into an involuntary fist.
"Machine No. 3, activate!"
Thump!
The moment the words left the speaker's lips, the rope around Wang Defa's left wrist snapped taut, jerking his arm into another uncontrollable punch.
"Machine No. 2 and Machine No. 4, activate!"
As the rope around his right arm tightened, his right arm also swung into an involuntary punch.
Wang Defa stared in shock, following the taut ropes to their ends. There, he saw upright circular rings, each connected to one end of his ropes.
As the rings spun continuously, the corresponding ropes on his arms tightened, loosened, tightened, loosened in a rhythmic cycle.
And within those spinning rings, countless green jelly-like creatures bounced and leaped, seemingly driving the rings' rotation.
Soon, voices echoed from all directions, reaching Scar Dog's ears:
"Machine No. 1 calibrated and functioning normally."
"Machine No. 3 calibrated and functioning normally."
"Good."
Scar Dog, his expression satisfied, crushed another energy block. Instantly, a phantom gate invisible to the naked eye materialized above the massive steel pipe in front of Wang Defa.
In an instant!
Mutated beasts began plummeting from the pipe's opening like carcasses on a slaughterhouse production line, falling relentlessly to the ground.
At that moment—
Scar Dog gripped his walkie-talkie, his voice booming with anticipation, "Machine No. 1, Machine No. 2, Machine No. 3, Machine No. 4, activate all units! Maximize power output within three minutes!"
"Yes, sir!"
As Scar Dog's command echoed, the four slimes perched on the circular platform began bouncing faster and faster, while the platform itself spun with increasing velocity.
As the platform's rotation accelerated, the ropes binding Wang Defa's arms tightened and loosened at an ever-quickening pace.
The combined effect of these forces resulted in—
Wang Defa's punches accelerating to an unimaginable speed!
In less than three minutes—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Jiang, standing nearby, stared in stunned disbelief at Wang Defa's relentless punches. He could no longer discern the individual strikes, only a blur of afterimages flashing before his eyes.
Faint sonic booms echoed as Wang Defa's fists tore through the air.
Wang Defa exerted minimal effort, yet his fists moved with astonishing speed, targeting the constantly falling mutated beasts with a relentless barrage like a violent storm.
"What do you think?" Scar Dog asked, his face beaming with pride, his grin stretching from ear to ear as he turned to Chen Jiang. "How about it, Brother Jiang? My Perpetual Motion Machine Series Product—the Humanoid High-Frequency Four-Cylinder Pile Driver—is pretty good, right?"
"And it's incredibly energy-efficient too. Only a few hundred slimes per hundred kilometers!"
"..."
Chen Jiang remained expressionless for a long moment before finally clicking his tongue in grudging admiration. "I have to admit, this Perpetual Motion Machine Series Product of yours is actually quite impressive."
"It's finally proving somewhat useful."
Just then—
Chen Jiang suddenly noticed a stream of water materializing high above and pouring directly onto Wang Defa's head. His brow furrowed slightly as he asked, "What's this?"
"Oh, that?" Scar Dog replied with a serious nod. "That's the water cooling system."
"Just like with graphics cards, high-speed friction and rotation generate heat. We need water cooling to keep things cool."
"That's science."
