I have a space station

Xue Fu quickly stepped forward and frantically tapped Nata's body with his fingers.

“Pa pa pa ~”

He tapped Nata's left chest, seemingly along a vertical line.

After tapping more than a dozen times in succession, he slapped out a palm again, shouting at the same time:

“Explode!”

“Ah ~”

Nata's figure was completely out of control, flying along the passage into the distance.

However, no explosion was heard.

“As expected, there's a problem!”

Xue Fu was trying to seal Nata's meridians by attacking his acupoints.

Under normal circumstances, this would cause a cultivator's energy to accumulate in the chest due to poor circulation.

If he detonated this energy with a palm strike, the attacked person's meridians would be shattered instantly.

However, this strike still had no effect.

Now he was certain that these two little guys hadn't cultivated some technique to hide their pulse; they really didn't have meridians.

“Nata!”

Mengka quickly chased after him.

“Go!”

After Nata landed, Mengka didn't bother asking if there was anything wrong with his body, but directly dragged him towards the Mercenary Guild.

Seeing that they were about to escape, Xue Fu sped up his pursuit.

Both of them knew that being constantly pursued by Xue Fu wasn't a solution.

So Mengka decided to take Nata into the Mercenary Guild's secret passage.

This secret passage led to a secret control room below the living area and above the Queen Bee.

This was the control room with the highest internal authority in the base.

Xue Fu wasn't very familiar with the underground base and soon lost them.

“Nata, are you alright?” Mengka asked after entering the secret control room.

“I feel like there might be something wrong with my body; I can't mobilize the energy of the vibration crystal in my left arm,” Nata said, raising his left arm.

“What's going on?” Mengka asked Dongfang Chen, who was nearby.

“Your bodies also referenced human meridian science during the manufacturing process. It's possible that Xue Fu's attack caused a problem with the energy circulation in Nata's body,” Dongfang Chen speculated.

The reason he wasn't certain was that he hadn't completely copied human meridians when designing the simulation body, but only borrowed the idea.

Why borrow the idea of meridian science? Because simulated cells needed energy to simulate muscle tension. But how to supply this energy to the simulated cells?

Of course, by using the connection surfaces between simulated cells to form complex energy transfer and circulation routes—this was the meridian.

This was much more reliable than using electronic circuits to transmit energy, as in ordinary mechanical components. Simulated bodies made with electronic circuits couldn't withstand this kind of abuse; they would fall apart quickly.

Now Dongfang Chen had already ordered the base's Queen Bee to test Nata's body, but the results hadn't come out yet.

“I see,” Mengka nodded.

Ten minutes later, the test results came back.

Some simulated cells in Nata's chest were damaged, leading to a decrease in energy transmission efficiency.

However, their bodies had self-repair capabilities, and the damaged simulated cells would be gradually repaired over time.

So Nata wasn't in any danger.

“Even though he's also a Tier 9 cultivator, this Xue Fu is much harder to deal with than those two ordinary cultivators outside,” Mengka sighed.

“Perhaps he's a good whetstone,” Dongfang Chen smiled.

“Do you mean to let Nata fight Xue Fu? But how is that possible? If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. What change can come from fighting again?” Mengka didn't understand.

On this point, the two of them were very different.

Mengka's innovation ability was very low, and he would also think that Nata couldn't solve this problem.

But Nata wouldn't see the problem that way. Under a certain amount of external pressure, he would naturally think of new strategies. It was just that the thinking time was hard to control.

So Dongfang Chen decided to give him a hint.

“Of course there will be changes. Don't you think the moves that Xue Fu uses can also be practiced by you?” Dongfang Chen hinted subtly.

“We are robots, how can we use his moves?” Mengka asked back.

“Then let's wait and see,” Dongfang Chen said, stopping there and not saying how to use them.

He believed that Nata would understand something after hearing this idea.

Inside the secret control room.

After 10 minutes of rest, Nata's left arm had clearly recovered its movement.

“Nata, what's your next plan?” Mengka asked.

She could also see the new mission issued by Dongfang Chen, that they had to find out who was recruiting normal people in the base within the next three days.

So they couldn't just hide here all the time.

“I want to start with that old man I saw during the day,” Nata replied.

“That's a good idea,” Mengka nodded.

That old man was ordered to collect normal people, so he must have a way to contact the upper levels.

“Also, this control room can monitor the situation in the base. We can also search to see how many normal people are hidden in the base and where they are hidden,” Nata added.
