PDLP Chapter 1131 made even the system feel a little physically uncomfortable.
Chapter 1131 made even the system feel a little physically uncomfortable.
For the past few years, the system has been controlling small robots to explore the lair of small monsters.
Because of the little sparrow's exposure, the little robot has changed its appearance twice in three days.
It is now a bat whose diameter is not even as long as Liang Chongyue's thumb.
Liang Chongyue would occasionally glance at the system screen to see what the monster's lair actually looked like.
But as soon as the little robot enters the little monster's lair, the panel goes completely black.
The internal structure can only be seen using the infrared function of the small robot.
The infrared images on the panel made Liang Chongyue dizzy.
The important task can only be entrusted to the system.
"These monsters live in the mountains year-round and can see at night. Help me carefully observe when they leave their caves."
The system listened to the host's tasks, its eyes never leaving the screen.
The monsters on the screen looked alright during the day, but once inside the cave, they looked like little devils.
"Host, they're eating people!"
The system was originally just controlling the small robot to explore the terrain when it was startled by a chewing sound.
They immediately followed the direction from which the sound came.
Then they saw those monsters gnawing on a leg bone.
The system feels a bit physically uncomfortable.
"How disgusting."
Liang Chongyue glanced to the side, realizing that her plan was still too late.
The first group of mountain hunters among the people living near that mountain range have already entered the mountains.
Liang Chongyue looked at the panel and saw that the monster was grabbing and gnawing on one of the legs, which had a long knife tied to it.
When the monsters got close to the long sword, they pulled on it and chopped the leg in half.
Liang Chongyue waved to the system panel, and the system panel flew towards Liang Chongyue on its own.
Liang Chongyue stared intently at the system panel, using her consciousness to control the little dragonfly to change direction and survey the entire cave where the monster was feeding.
"There were at least ten mountain herders in this group, and they were all captured by these monsters."
Moreover, the earliest group of people to go into the mountains are usually the most experienced among the local people.
"Host, should we move up your plans? If this continues, before you even lead your army there, all the mountain herders in the nearby mountains will be wiped out."
After sitting silently on the dragon throne for a moment, Liang Chongyue turned to the system and said:
"Show me the footage of these monsters capturing the mountain herders. The plan remains unchanged for now. You need to work hard recently and figure out these two nests as soon as possible. Have the machine generate blueprints according to a certain scale."
The system responded quickly, noticing that the host was looking at its screen.
I simply created a split screen for myself.
As long as it's viewable, that's fine.
Such a disgusting scene looks the same on any screen.
Liang Chongyue sipped her milk tea, watching the bloody and brutal scene before her.
The system felt nauseous just looking at it and smelling the aroma of milk.
Well, its host has always been such a formidable being.
Liang Chongyue finished her milk tea, and the fierce scene on the panel also came to an end.
Seeing the blood still clinging to the monsters' mouths, Liang Chongyue slammed his teacup onto the table.
The teacup made a crisp sound, attracting the system's attention.
"Host, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Liang Chongyue continued watching, and the scene rapidly rewinded, returning to the moment when these mountain herders were captured by the monster.
Looking at the terrified expressions on their faces.
Liang Chongyue's expression grew increasingly grim.
These monsters are smarter than she thought.
They use tools and traps to catch people.
Moreover, these traps look like the kind set by mountain herders and hunters in the mountains.
These monsters learned it.
They were reused.
These monsters were far more intelligent than Liang Chongyue had originally imagined. They had an extremely keen sense of smell and could locate the mountain herders simply by smelling them.
They caught none of them, even those that were about to run down the mountain.
"I suddenly think Li Yu'an's suggestion is quite good."
The system looked at its host with some confusion, while Liang Chongyue wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Send me the blueprints for the two nests, and I will go to the camp outside the capital."
When Liang Chongyue left Yangxin Hall, it was already close to evening.
Yunling was carrying afternoon snacks to deliver to His Majesty.
Then His Majesty changed out of his dragon robe and walked outside in casual clothes.
"I have some business to attend to outside the palace, so I won't be able to have dinner with the Empress Dowager. Please come to Cining Palace to invite me; just tell them the truth."
Yunling watched His Majesty's departing figure.
She's used to it.
His Majesty always has endless things to deal with.
It was perhaps a little better when Her Highness the Crown Princess was still alive.
Yunling gave all the pastries prepared by the imperial kitchen for His Majesty to the puppy. Originally, less than one-tenth of these pastries would have actually reached His Majesty's mouth.
In the end, the puppy ate most of it.
The system was eating while looking at the panel.
In Yunling's eyes, this looked like a puppy getting distracted while eating.
This scene has been happening frequently lately.
Yunling got used to it.
After patting the puppy's head and giving it a few words of advice, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation to stand guard outside.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at the camp on the outskirts of the capital, it was already mostly dark.
The magnificent sunset hung in the sky, looking absolutely beautiful.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue raised his hand and headed straight for the weapons battalion of the main camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Summon Xiang Zheng to see me, and also bring several other officers and soldiers in charge."
Upon seeing this, all the soldiers were on tenterhooks.
I couldn't help but start to worry.
Everyone sprang into action, some calling for help, others relaying messages.
When Xiang Zheng received the news and rushed back, His Majesty was sitting in the largest weapons battalion looking at blueprints.
"Your subject Xiang Zheng pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Liang Chongyue didn't even raise his head, but gestured for Xiang Zheng to get up.
"I think there's something wrong with this inventory. I need to use it. I need to investigate it thoroughly. In half a month, I will take this whole batch with me. Not a single piece can be missing."
Looking at Xiang Zheng, he saw gunpowder.
This item needs to be strictly guarded in military camps.
How could the inventory not match?
Could it be that someone has embezzled funds?
Liang Chongyue glanced at her sideways, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
“I know this wasn’t your responsibility before, but now this whole area belongs to you. I can’t show you favoritism just because I like you. I think you wouldn’t want me to do that, would you?”
Xiang Zheng understood.
His Majesty wants to capture the monsters in the mountains, and this gunpowder is intended for use on those monsters.
His Majesty's sudden arrival so late today may indicate a change in plans, but it certainly isn't directed at her.
"Your Majesty understands, and I will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."
Liang Chongyue nodded in acknowledgment of her response.
They then proceeded to inspect the other inventory.
After marking all the missing items, close the notebook.
"You can investigate this matter at your own pace. In the meantime, you need to replenish that batch of gunpowder for me."
