Chapter 161 -134: The Monster in the Smelter Factory Basement_3
[You are inhabiting the shell of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’!]
[You roar in fury, your feet firmly planted on the ground. The full force of the ‘Blessing of Mother Earth’ activates, and the amplified strength of the ‘Tiger Beast King Belt’ is channeled throughout your entire body!]
[Your muscles swell and bulge. You lift your foot and kick fiercely. Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the heavy workbench flies out like a torn cardboard box…]
[A staircase leading underground appears on the ground. Bright kerosene lamps hang on either side of the steps, illuminating the path to the basement…]
[You carry the ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ in your hand and descend the stairs…]
[A gigantic door appears at the end of the path. The door built entirely of refined copper is extraordinarily heavy. The average person would struggle to push it open, let alone break the giant’s entrance.]
[Such a monumental door blocking the entrance to the basement makes it hard to imagine what it protects or holds captive…]
Lin Xun thinks back to the text he saw earlier in the office.
He’s possessing the body of a technician. The factory owner instructed him to move all the refined copper bricks produced from smelting to the basement to feed the creature there.
He suddenly realizes and looks back at the previous texts.
[The ‘Curious Smelter Factory Owner’ … tells you to carry all today’s smelted copper bricks to the basement to feed that creature.]
[…]
[He complains incessantly that the creature’s appetite is growing, having already consumed all the refined copper inventory in the factory…]
The key information lies in the final sentence. The factory owner has been feeding the creature in the basement, draining the factory’s entire stock.
Isn’t the 999 inventory listed on the owner’s transaction slip a lie?!
Fortunately, Lin Xun is frugal, no, he is poor; he couldn’t afford so much spirit energy.
Otherwise, he would be swindled by this shady NPC in the underworld game again.
Lin Xun narrows his eyes. In the underworld game, one should only spend money when absolutely necessary. This was learned through experience…
[You take out the ‘Key to the Smelter Factory Basement’, insert it into the lock on the refined copper giant door…]
[You turn the key, with a click, the lock is opened. You slowly push open the gigantic door…]
[Within the vast chamber, all four walls are built from unyielding refined copper. A colossal figure is trapped in a lattice of pure white light.]
[The lattice appears to be made up of countless flickering characters of light, the densely packed bars, as thick as a finger, stabbing into the floor, reaching up to the dome of the basement.]
[The colossal figure reflects a dark golden color; that’s the hue of refined copper. It is a humanoid creature built from countless blocks of refined copper.]
[The ‘Refined Copper Beast’ picks up the only two remaining refined copper bricks from the ground, stuffing them into its mouth to violently chew…]
[The hard refined copper in its mouth appears as tofu, being chewed and swallowed after grinding…]
[Your arrival has attracted the attention of the ‘Refined Copper Beast’, but seeing you empty-handed, it roars in anger. The piercing sound of metal friction echoes off the walls of the chamber!]
[The ‘Refined Copper Beast’ pounces at you, but is held back by the slim lattice. It roars at you constantly through the lattice, seemingly urging you to bring ‘food’!]
[Would you feed it with refined copper bricks, or kill it?]
Lin Xun smirks.
He doesn’t have enough refined copper, let alone spare change to feed the monster.
He decisively chooses the second option.
This creature has eaten so much refined copper; it should drop some materials when killed!
[You roar in anger; the ‘Blessing of Mother Earth’ activates with full force. The ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ in your hand produces an astonishing wind pressure…]
[Your attack triggers the special effect of the ‘Giant Beasts Chieftain’s Spirit’!]
[Your attack will cause double damage!]
[The speed of the mace intensifies by a factor of three, causing the surrounding air to emit distressing shrieks…]
[Accompanied by an enormous roar, your ‘Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ hits the lattice!]
[Ripples appear on the lattice, like those on the surface of water…]
[The moment the ripples die out, the lattice returns to its initial state. Your attack did not hit the ‘Refined Copper Beast,’ unable to cause any damage.]

???
Lin Xun slowly types out three question marks.
The full-force attack of an Earth Giant, coupled with the double attack effect of the ‘Giant Beasts Chieftain’s Spirit,’ can’t break the lattice and hit the creature inside.
How is he supposed to play this?
