Fifty-one red insect shells can be exchanged for fifty-one blank red blueprints.
In theory, Lucas could create fifty-one different things.
Unfortunately, Lucas didn't have the accumulated materials needed for manufacturing.
It would be frustrating to draw something without the necessary materials for production.
Lucas decided to open the yellow capsules.
Five yellow capsules, and he didn't know what would come out.
The previous one contained nutrient-rich soil, which was a real treasure.
This time shouldn't be any different!
In one breath, he opened them five times in a row.
The first one.
[Congratulations, the host has obtained 3 cubic meters of Level 1 nutrient-rich soil.]
"Not bad, let's continue."
The first one turned out to be nutrient-rich soil again, and Lucas was quite happy.
In the post-apocalyptic world, nutrient-rich soil was something rare and valuable.
After all, regardless of the environment, apart from staying alive, food was the most important thing.
The second one.
[Congratulations, the host has obtained an ordinary clothes set.]
Click for description.
[Ordinary Clothes Set]
Randomly reduces physical damage by 1%-5%, but does not provide immunity against infection. (Upgradeable)
"Is this considered ordinary?"
Lucas muttered to himself, but he was actually quite satisfied with this set of clothes. He planned to take a bath by the river later and wear them.
The bus didn't need cleaning, but his own body did.
Lucas hadn't reached the point of using stored purified water for bathing.
Continuing, the third one.
[Congratulations, the host has obtained an X capsule.]
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"What is this?"
Lucas didn't immediately open the X capsule but went straight to the fourth yellow capsule.
[Congratulations, the host has obtained a pair of ordinary daggers.]
Click for description.
[Ordinary Daggers]
Made from red insect shells, randomly inflicts 1%-5% freezing effect on the target, reducing their movement abilities. (Upgradeable)
Note: Effect is doubled for female users.
"What strange conditions?"
Lucas didn't pay much attention and simply placed the two daggers under the driver's seat of the bus.
These daggers were indeed suitable for female users. They looked cool, with long and narrow blades.
If a woman with a slender and curvy figure carried the two daggers crossed on her back, she would look absolutely stunning.
The reason they weren't suitable for men was that the daggers were very lightweight. With Lucas' current physical strength, he didn't feel anything when holding them.
Only one yellow capsule remained. Lucas silently hoped for a skill like a fire punch.
[Congratulations, the host has obtained a robot.]
Before Lucas could click for the description, a round ball about his height suddenly appeared beside him.
The material of the round ball resembled the shell of a chicken or duck egg, but with an additional black button on top.
"What's going on? Does this mean I have to hatch an egg?"
Lucas had a ridiculous and bizarre idea as he touched the eggshell with his hand.
Click for description.
[Robot]
Forms: ① Humanoid (Male/Female), ② Other biological forms (cannot exceed the volume of the eggshell), ③ Alien or non-biological forms (robot level too low, this option cannot be selected)
Acts according to the host's commands, without the ability to think for itself or self-preservation awareness. Comes with two sets of chips initially: combat and service (choose one). Chips can be obtained from capsules.
The initial physical attributes of the humanoid form are 50% of the host's physical attributes. Note: Initial body resilience is equivalent to the strength of the exoskeleton of the red insect's forelegs. (Upgradeable)
The initial physical attributes of other biological forms are the normal attributes of that species. Note: Initial body resilience is equivalent to the strength of the exoskeleton of the red insect's forelegs. (Upgradeable)
"It's a bit complicated!"
Lucas frowned slightly as he looked at the description.
Lucas was torn between choosing a male or female humanoid form.
As for other biological forms, Lucas didn't bother considering them, especially since the two sets of chips provided were for combat and service. It felt like the system was hinting at him to choose humanoid.
What use would an animal have for service chips?
Should he get a mechanical horse to ride?
Without further hesitation, Lucas clicked on the option.
Female, combat chip.
After choosing, a liquid crystal panel appeared on the eggshell.
Height: 168cm, Weight: 50kg, Long hair, big eyes, round face...
Clothing: Black, tight-fitting jacket, tight leather pants...
It took Lucas ten minutes to make minor adjustments to the female robot's initial settings on the liquid crystal panel.
"D+ cup, peach-shaped..."
"A bit fuller, a little more perky..."
"Done!"
After making final tweaks to the last few details, Lucas pressed the black button on the eggshell.
The moment of witnessing a miracle had arrived!
After pressing the button, a faint halo appeared on the surface of the eggshell, starting from the top and moving downwards, similar to the refreshing of a blueprint.
Five minutes later.
Crack—
The eggshell cracked slightly in front of Lucas.
From the cracks, the first thing that appeared was an exquisite face, with a few strands of black hair brushing across it.
"So beautiful!"
Lucas couldn't help but exclaim.
At that moment, the eyes on the exquisite face suddenly opened, looking at Lucas.
Devoid of any vitality!
Expressionless!
Indifferent!
Seeing the face, Lucas, who had initially appreciated it as a work of art, suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
"Ah, a robot is just a robot."
"How could it have human-like eyes?"
Lucas sighed, and by the time he did, the robot had already walked out of the eggshell. However, Lucas no longer had any interest in admiring her figure.
The "woman" took a few steps and stood in front of Lucas, motionless, bringing them face to face.
Lucas took a step back and looked at the "woman" again.
"Can you speak?"
Lucas asked.
[This robot does not have a language chip installed. It requires a yellow insect shell to obtain one.]
The system replied to Lucas instead of the "woman."
"Oh, a yellow insect shell. Where can I get one?"
Lucas sighed. He didn't expect that even the robot would require a separate language chip.
"Sit on the ground."
Lucas said to the "woman," telling her to sit down.
As soon as the words fell, the "woman" sat on the ground.
"Go get me a bottle of water from over there."
Lucas said, pointing to the box of drinks.
However, this time the "woman" did not react.
Lucas frowned, suddenly realizing that getting the drinks was probably a command that could only be executed after installing the service chip.
"Hit me!"
Lucas suddenly said inexplicably.
As soon as the words fell, Lucas saw the "woman" quickly stand up from the ground, and then her fist came flying towards his face.
Clang—
The fist made of insect legs and the saw made a metallic sound as they collided.
"Stop!"
Lucas quickly shouted, telling her to stop.
Fortunately, to prevent accidents, before pressing the button on the eggshell, Lucas had placed the saw made of insect legs beside him.
Although the "woman" had only half his strength, her body hardness was the same as the saw made of insect legs. If Lucas were hit, it would have been quite disastrous for him.
