Devouring City: My Mobile Town Evolves Infinitely - Chapter 15

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

While thinking, Luo En walked towards the storage area where the ores, which had just been mined, were placed.

Looking at the pile of ores before him, Luo En said without hesitation, “System! Devour!”

[City Lord System: Devouring…Devour successful!]

[City Lord System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining 18,200 Evolution Points!]

Luo En looked at his 56,400 Evolution Points and said, “System! Purchase the blueprint for caterpillar tracks!”

[City Lord System: Purchase in progress…. Purchase successful!]

As soon as the System finished speaking, a blueprint appeared in the storage space of the System. Luo En took out the blueprint and examined it.

It was similar to the design blueprint of a small detector. It also described in detail the step-by-step operation to manufacture tracks. The blueprint also stated specifically the quantity of ores required for each step; there would be much more savings compared to the original blueprint for the tracks of the mobile city!

However, it was also relatively more complex and complicated.

With this blueprint, the tracks can be made!

Luo En looked at the blueprint in his hand and thought to himself.

Then, Luo En kept the blueprint and headed towards the mobile city.

Soon, Luo En arrived at the mobile city. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Engineers, come to the conference room!”

With that, he headed straight for the conference room.

“Captain Wang Cheng! Do you know why the City Lord had called us here?”

“Right, Captain Wang Cheng! Do you know? I was building a transport vehicle when I was suddenly called over.”

At this moment, a group of people had gathered in the square. Everyone was saying something to the person in front.

“Alright, stop making noise, we’ll know in a while!” Wang Cheng replied sternly. His heart was also filled with puzzlement, but the City Lord’s order was everything.

After being reprimanded by Wang Cheng, everyone stopped talking and continued to walk towards the conference room.

When everyone arrived at the conference room, Luo En was already sitting inside.

Everyone took their seats. At this moment, Wang Cheng asked puzzledly, “City Lord! Did you call us here for something?”

Looking at the puzzled looks before him, Luo En smiled and replied, “I called all of you here to tell you good news! We can make new tracks now!”

After hearing what Luo En had said, Wang Cheng was even more confused. He could not help but ask, “City Lord! Making new tracks is indeed good news, but where do we get so much ores to make them? As far as I know, the ores we have mined till now in our mobile city are only enough to make a quarter of the tracks!”

Upon hearing, Luo En laughed and said, “Since I’ve said so, it means that it can be done! Look, this is the design blueprint for the new tracks!”

With that said, Luo En took out the blueprint for the new tracks and placed it on the table.

Everyone moved forward curiously; they crowded around to look at it carefully.

After just one glance, a shocked look appeared in everyone’s eyes. Then, the more they looked, the more shocked they became.

“City Lord! This… this is the blueprint for the new tracks? This is unbelievable!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Look here, every step is so clearly written. The design concepts are completely different from the blueprint of the tracks of our mobile city!”

“This step can actually be done like this! It’s so amazing!”

Everyone spoke excitedly.

At this moment, Wang Cheng asked in surprise, “City Lord! Is this blueprint reliable? This… this is too unbelievable!”

Luo En replied gently, “Don’t worry! Just follow the blueprint!”

“If we use this blueprint, the ores in our mobile city will be enough to support the manufacturing of new tracks!” Wang Cheng exclaimed happily.

Luo En then asked, “By adhering to the blueprint, how long will it take you guys to make the new tracks?”

Wang Cheng thought for a while and said, “City Lord! It will take about four to five hours!”

When Luo En heard this, he asked doubtfully, “Oh? Why has it taken all of you a day to build the small detectors in the past, yet these more complex and complicated tracks will only take four to five hours? Shouldn’t they take longer?”

Wang Cheng explained with a smile, “It’s like this, City Lord! We have never built small detectors before, so we need to work out the details carefully. However, the tracks are different. After all, we have manufactured them before. Even if the design concepts are different, we still have the experience, so we’ll only need four to five hours!”

Upon hearing this, Luo En became enlightened. He then said, “In that case, you can start making the new tracks now!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

Wang Cheng took the blueprint and led a group of engineers to the manufacturing plant and started the manufacturing process.

Luo En basked in the sun on the square and waited.

Five hours passed quickly as Luo En waited.

“City Lord! The tracks have been made!” Wang Cheng hurriedly ran up from the ground, came to Luo En’s side and said happily.

Upon hearing, Luo En laughed and replied, “That’s great! Follow me to the control room. Let’s try them out now!”

Thus, Luo En and Wang Cheng quickly walked toward the control room.

Luo En found the power button on the console and pressed it down. Soon, the mobile city suddenly shook and rumbled as it slowly moved.

“What… what’s going on?”

“Aren’t the tracks of the mobile city broken? Why do I feel that the mobile city is moving now?”

“I can feel it too!”

The people in the city felt the movement and had come to the square talking about it.

At this moment, Luo En picked up the walkie-talkie beside him and said, “Everyone, listen up! I’ve already made the tracks. I was testing the effectiveness of the tracks just now. Don’t panic. Continue with your work!”

Then, Luo En steered the mobile city towards the basin.

The trees on both sides flashed past quickly and soon, they had arrived at the basin.

“Isn’t… isn’t this our mobile city? Why is it here?”

“Aren’t the tracks broken?”

The workers in the basin had, of course, noticed the massive object, and they all chattered in bewilderment.

Luo En walked out from the mobile city and came to the ground.

“City Lord! Our tracks have been repaired? That shouldn’t be the case…” Zhang Bo came up and asked, puzzled.

“No, we have made a set of new tracks!” Luo En answered.

Zhang Bo was even more puzzled. Without sufficient ores to even support a repair, where to get the ores to make new tracks?

Luo En looked at Zhang Bo’s puzzled expression and said gently, “We made them according to the new design blueprint!”

Only then did Zhang Bo understand, and he tactfully did not ask where the blueprint came from.

Luo En noticed that Zhang Bo did not continue to ask questions and nodded in satisfaction. He then asked, “How is the progress of the mining?”

“Reporting to the City Lord, everything is going smoothly! Currently, we have already mined the second batch of ores, and there are more than the first batch. Originally, we had planned to transport them over later, but since we have made the tracks of our mobile city, we will transport them up now! It will save the workers a lot of work.” Zhang Bo replied.

“Well! You guys continue!” Luo En said.

“Yes!”

And so, Luo En walked towards the location of the second batch of ores that had just been mined.

No one noticed Wang Yun who was at a distant corner. At this moment, he took out the small token from his pocket and pressed it a few times before saying, “Hei Long City Lord! The opportunity has come!”

He had been waiting for Luo En to drive here in the mobile city.

Upon receiving Wang Yun’s message, Hei Long from the other side immediately said, “Get ready for battle! Set off!”

Then, the Black Dragon Mobile City slowly advanced toward where Luo En was.

After a short while, the Black Dragon Mobile City had arrived at the place, a kilometer away from where Luo En was, and blocked the only exit squarely!

“Aim! Fire!” Hei Long commanded.

There was a sudden boom, and a shell shot out and landed near Luo En.

At this moment, Luo En and the others had no idea what was happening. All they saw was a shell coming toward them.

Following the explosion, dust was all over and the scene became chaotic.

After the dust had settled, Luo En and the others were already afflicted by the explosion. Fortunately, the shell did not land where they were, or they would have probably died here.

Of all the people present, only Wang Yun had not been affected because he had already taken shelter early.

“Who! Who is it!” Luo En said furiously.

Then, he stared in Wang Yun’s direction.

As expected… Seeing Wang Yun hiding in the distance, Luo En knew that the shell earlier must have had something to do with him..
