Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

If it were a matter of simply accepting money, Li Cunxu would certainly have given it, but what was being asked for were academic credits.

The hundred academic credits he had just acquired had already been used to redeem the opportunity to explore the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm. Where would he find other academic credits to pay?

“Do I need to earn some academic credits, read the remaining information, and then explore the secret realm?”

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Li Cunxu considered it and decided to go directly to the secret realm without reading the remaining information.

Reading the remaining information required ten academic credits.

Ten academic credits… apart from the Freshman Ranking, it wasn't easy to get academic credits through other means. Doing tasks was time-consuming and laborious. By the time he earned ten academic credits, the twenty academic credits for being in the top hundred of the Freshman Ranking at the end of the month would already have been distributed.

It was better not to bother.

As for breaking into the top fifty and earning two hundred academic credits…

Li Cunxu had considered it but gave up. He mistakenly believed that the level of the top hundred was similar to that of Faceless Man.

Little did he know that Faceless Man's ranking would always return to seventh place on the Freshman Ranking at the end of each month.

Besides the difficulty in gathering academic credits, Li Cunxu had another reason for not reading the remaining information.

The remaining information that required academic credits to access probably wouldn't be of much use in the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm.

If it were truly useful, then why hadn't previous explorers successfully cleared the secret realm using this information?

Li Cunxu arrived at the school's portal that managed the secret realms.

The Secret Realm Hall.

Inside the Secret Realm Hall stood many secret realm teleportation gates emitting dazzling light.

After using the opportunity to explore the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm from his school account, the staff gave Li Cunxu a red string with three beads.

The staff introduced it, saying, “The red string is woven from the silk of a special Crimson Fortune Silkworm. Once tied on, even the power of a Gold-level being cannot untie it. It can only be untied here with a special potion.

The smallest green bead on the red string is the 'child' bead of a Mother-Child Life Bead. It can detect your life signs. Once you die, we can know through the 'mother' bead here.

The Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm is quite difficult to explore, so there is no time limit. As long as your Life Bead doesn't go out, the school will not allow other explorers to enter the secret realm.

The red bead, not too big and not too small, is the SOS Bead. Crush it, and you will receive a rescue team's assistance. However, their rescue is within their capabilities. They will also be helpless in overly dangerous situations. Also, do not crush it casually. Rescue is not free. Crushing it will cost you one thousand academic credits.”

Li Cunxu asked, “What if I don't have that many academic credits?”

The staff replied, “It will be owed, but the academic credits you earn later will go to the rescue team until you pay off the one thousand academic credits.

The largest yellow bead is the Secret Realm Guiding Bead. Just hold it tightly for half a minute and say, 'I want to return,' and you can return to the school from the secret realm.”

Stepping into the secret realm, the world spun.

His eyes were met with whiteness, not darkness.

Li Cunxu was immediately relieved.

The Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm is relatively safe during the day and most dangerous at night.

Li Cunxu's location was at the bottom of a ruin pit. As he climbed upwards, perhaps the movement he made caused a broken wall next to him, marked with a red 'Demolish' character, to collapse.

Climbing to the top of the ruins, Li Cunxu saw a city being feverishly built.

The scorching sun baked this city of endless reincarnation. On the empty roads, construction robots using unicycles as their mode of transportation left trails of varying depths on the compacted dirt ground. They were like a group of silent workers constantly working.

Mechanical arms flew up and down, stacking bricks one by one. The position of each brick was so precise. High-rise buildings gradually rose on the horizon, seeming to challenge the sky, declaring that they would build a beautiful city.

Li Cunxu did not act rashly.

“Little Soft, set up a place of rebirth, prioritizing the revival of Iron Slimes.”

One Level 0 Iron Slime after another revived and began to devour the steel bars on the weighing wall of the ruins.

Little White Spider, Shadowcrow, and Tech-Adept worked together with Li Cunxu to build a shelter disguised as ruins. The shelter had several peepholes facing the city, through which they could observe the city's movements.

The sun set, and the moon took the stage.

The construction robots that had been diligently building the city under the cold moonlight now had red, terrifying lights in their eyes. A leading construction robot took out a giant seal, stamped it on the wall, and then took it off. Immediately, a 'Demolish' character appeared on the wall.

The construction robots around him picked up sledgehammers and transformed into demolition robots, tearing down the newly built high-rise buildings they had worked so hard to construct.

Demolishing was much faster than building. In just two short hours, the high-rise buildings and houses built in a day were demolished.

The demolition robots, having nothing to do, began to fight each other. I-beams, hammerheads, electric drills… and so on flew everywhere.

Watching the demolition robots die and get injured, Li Cunxu whispered, “It seems like there is fighting every day, and so many demolition robots die every day. Then the number of demolition robots should be very small. Why are there still so many demolition robots in this secret realm?”

“They recovered? Could it be that sunlight cracks the data virus in the construction robots' bodies?”

These demolition robots that survived until dawn generally leveled up two or three times after a life-and-death struggle.

After a while, a large team of construction robots walked out of a sinkhole leading to the underground, joining the others to help build high-rise buildings.

“The Mechanical Matriarch might be inside.”

“Little Yi, send out a level clone, mimic a demolition robot, and infiltrate the sinkhole to find the Mechanical Matriarch.”

The key to clearing the secret realm lies in the secret realm core, and the secret realm core is often controlled by the strongest creature in the secret realm.

The Mechanical Matriarch of the demolition robots is top-tier Bronze-level, so it is likely to have the core.

After a moment, Little White Spider shook its head.

“In the underground, the demolition robots are even more violent than the ones on the surface. They attack anyone they see. My Black Iron clone was killed by other demolition robots before it could even get through.”

Little White Spider then sent out a Bronze clone, but it was also killed not far away.

Besides its learning and research abilities, Little White Spider is very lacking in other areas. It's normal for the Bronze clone to be killed.

Li Cunxu rubbed his temples.

“My mistake, I should have used smaller insects.”

Little White Spider's two clones were both killed. He could only wait twenty-four hours for them to revive before trying again.

Li Cunxu took advantage of this time to capture a construction robot for experiments.

Knock out… no, the first thing Li Cunxu did upon capturing it was to attach an information-shielding red seal, cutting off its internet connection to prevent it from calling for backup.

Li Cunxu experimented on the construction robot and discovered that the reason why construction robots turned into demolition robots was not due to the absence of sunlight and moonlight.

It was because they reached that time difference, and at the same time, they transformed into demolition robots.
