Chapter 882
Chapter 882: Chapter 838 Bronze City_1 Chapter 882: Chapter 838 Bronze City_1 For the sake of playing alongside Shuihua, Lincoln naturally progressed a bit slower.
But Warehouse Bird didn’t have these love affairs to distract him, and with his solid technical skills and hard grinding, he pushed himself once again to the forefront.
And after successfully completing the challenge of kicking in 18 dojos, he received an incredibly special reward—
[Smart Heart]
This is a perpetual status buff, which can be added to any martial art the player possesses.
The martial arts that receive the [Smart Heart] status buff have their proficiency increased by 100%!
This is a reward that the development team has meticulously prepared for players.
Because at this stage of the game, the highest level a player can reach has already crossed over from [Beginner] and [Intermediate] to reach [Advanced] level.
To progress further, a lot more experience will be needed.
The [Smart Heart] status can help players maintain a relatively fast improvement rate in their specialized martial arts.
If players find a weapon they prefer more during their dojo challenges, they can use this status buff to quickly level up their newly learned martial skills.
However, Warehouse Bird didn’t need it.
He resolutely added [Smart Heart] to his major sword skill [Sword Shadow Meteor] and then rushed off without delay to the next mission—[City Defender].
The mission asked him to go to [Quchi Alley] to find a man named Francis.

Quchi Alley is right next to Furong Garden, which contains the largest body of water in Chang’an City—Qujiang Pool.
It took Warehouse Bird quite a bit of effort to find Francis in a nondescript carpentry shop hidden within Quchi Alley.
When he first saw the shop, Warehouse Bird was a bit incredulous: Why a carpenter?
Didn’t he already do a carpentry-related task during the [Wooden Puppet Crisis]?
He had always assumed that each stage of the main mission would expose him to different game content.
However, after mentioning his sister’s name and his purpose of visit, Francis put down his tea, closed the shop door, led him into the backyard, pulled open a hidden door revealing a long staircase, and took the lead in lighting a lamp and going down.
Not knowing what was going on, Warehouse Bird followed.
After walking for a full 5 minutes, the staircase finally came to an end, revealing a massive underground space, lit up by ever-burning lamps, in front of Warehouse Bird.

All kinds of objects were crammed in this space.
Warehouse Bird could recognize some of them: intricate hand crossbows, huge bed crossbows, a variety of unintelligible cold weapons accessorized with parts, as well as tools for carpentry and blacksmithing, and piles upon piles of materials.
However, there were many items whose use he could not decipher just based on their appearance.
Even in the middle of this gigantic space, three full-body armor sets were on display!
These things were completely different from the armors NPCs wore.
Nor it was like modern industrial designs — to be honest, Warehouse Bird couldn’t figure out what style these bizarre things were.
However, a fan in his live streaming room provided a fitting description — [Ancient Punk Style].
“What is this?” Warehouse Bird asked Francis immediately.
The moment he laid eyes on these objects, he couldn’t resist thinking about what Lincoln had mentioned online — [Full-Covered Humanoid Mecha].
Even though he couldn’t picture what powered these things, it didn’t hinder his desire to own one.
After all — they looked so cool!
Moreover, you would practically be invincible once you put this on, right?
“Mechanism Armor.” Francis answered.
“Could it be… one of these is made by my sister?” Warehouse Bird asked excitedly.
Only he didn’t blame him for thinking so, as his previous missions were all crammed with things his sister had left behind-
The [Liquor Gourd] she’d created in the tavern, the [Talismans] she’d drawn in the dojo, the [Mechanical Birds] she’d made at the carpentry shop, the [Flying Axes] she’d forged at the blacksmith, and the mature horses she’d raised at the racetrack…
Now that his sister had learned Mechanical Techniques from Francis and left him with a set of Mechanical Armor, it was completely logical and reasonable!
Unfortunately, Francis shook his head and denied it: “No, she only studied with me for one year.
Even with her background in carpentry and blacksmithing which accelerated her learning, it still could not allow her to learn how to craft Mechanical Armor within a year.”
“Is this thing for sale?” The Warehouse Bird had just opened his mouth when he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly slapped his own mouth, “I mean, where has my sister gone?”
——First complete the main missions, then find a way to get this thing in hand.
“She went to Tokyo.”
“???” A few big question marks popped out of the Warehouse Bird’s eyes, “Tokyo??”
Are they going abroad now?
Francis couldn’t understand what Warehouse Bird was surprised about: “What’s wrong?”
Just as Warehouse Bird was about to ask why his sister would suddenly go abroad, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t stand it anymore and took the initiative to send conspicuous messages to educate him: [It’s Luoyang!
Chang’an is the Western Capital, Luoyang is known as Tokyo, the Eastern Capital or Divine Capital.]
Upon hearing this, Warehouse Bird suddenly understood and then asked, “Where in Tokyo?
What’s the address?”
Francis blinked, “How should I know?”
Warehouse Bird was dumbfounded.
Francis then continued, “But before Shirley left, she gave me a strange card.
There’s a blood dot on it that constantly points to her location.
Initially, this was to help me find her, but if you help me with a favor, I will give you this card, how about it?”
“No problem!
Just give me your orders!” Warehouse Bird agreed right away.
Francis then pointed towards the other side of the lobby, “Go through that door there, walk one kilometer, and you will enter the ruins of Mechanism City where the relics of generation after generation of mechanism technique masters are stored.
You can go in and just bring out any relic.”
“That simple?”
Francis shook his head, “Not simple at all, it’s dangerous.”
“The thing I fear least is danger!” Warehouse Bird didn’t care.
He pulled out the [Amulet of Repelling Evil] that could foretell danger and wore it, then set off confidently.
…
…
After a long journey underground, from the quiet silence to the sound of trickling water echoing in his ears, Warehouse Bird finally arrived at the gate of Mechanism City.
The underground lights were bad, he had to try hard to lift the lantern high, but could only see a huge bronze wall extending up, down, left, and right, stretching all the way to the dark beyond his sight.
The two giant bronze doors in front were tightly closed, the bronze beast’s face on the gates had two giant rings in its mouth.
It took the combined effort of Warehouse Bird to barely push open a crack in the bronze door, and he then slipped in through the crack.
As soon as he entered, he was taken aback——
It wasn’t dark inside at all!
Staring up, he could see giant mirrors hanging from the roof and the sides of the tall buildings, reflecting bright white light.
This network of reflection surprisingly illuminated the entire Mechanism City!
This ingenious spectacle left Warehouse Bird in awe.
Then he took out a Mechanical Bird, wound up the clockwork with a creaking sound, and then forcibly threw it into the sky.
He then took out a talisman and held it between his fingers.
As the Mechanical Bird took flight, the yellow paper talisman ignited without fire.
Warehouse Bird’s consciousness then came into the air and he saw through the eyes of the Mechanical Bird.
What came into his view was a huge maze, unprecedented and made of bronze!
He himself was no more than a tiny, insignificant ant in this giant maze.
Seeing this, Warehouse Bird was stunned speechless.
He just controlled the Mechanical Bird to keep flying towards the distance, greedily overlooking this city of wonders.
It wasn’t until the clockwork reached its end and the Mechanical Bird automatically returned that Warehouse Bird took a step forward to find the “relics” left by the masters of the Mechanism Technique over the generations.
