Game: Civilization Paradise

Watching them pick up the Blue-grade items, the corner of Long Ming’s mouth twitched. He said,

"Don’t just pick up these Blue-grade items. They aren’t worth much. Only grab the good stuff."

"Huh? These aren’t valuable?"

"No way, right? This stuff is priced in Three-dimensional Coins, and a Blue-grade item is equivalent to a Red-grade item from a Level 1 civilization!"

"Yeah, usually when we come here, it’s hard to even find White-grade items."

Xiaoqi and the others looked at Long Ming, stunned.

Hearing Xiaoqi’s words, Long Ming was a little speechless, but he couldn’t really blame them.

After all, they rarely entered such a lucrative dungeon.

"How about this: throw away all the White-grade items,"

Long Ming said to Xiaoqi and the others.

"Alright."

Since Long Ming had said so, Xiaoqi’s group, though reluctant, took out the items and tossed them away.

Long Ming quietly watched as Xiaoqi and the others threw out a large pile of White-grade items.

Just then, he saw Johnny toss out a map, so he walked over and picked it up.

"That’s a White-grade item. Didn’t you tell me to throw it away?"

Johnny looked at Long Ming in confusion.

"It’s fine. Let me see."

Long Ming examined it and found that it was a map of the city. He immediately raised his wristband and scanned it.

"Alert: You have unlocked the map for the Kamoto Mechanical City."

A notification instantly popped up on his wristband.

Seeing that the map was unlocked, Long Ming tossed it aside and said to Xiaoqi and the others,

"Let’s go. On to the next place to search."

"Okay!"

Xiaoqi and the others followed Long Ming out.

As they walked out of the building, they suddenly heard a huge explosion in the distance.

Long Ming immediately turned to look and saw thick black smoke billowing in the distance.

"What’s going on?"

Xiaoqi and the others were also startled.

"Let’s go check it out. Cloud Fish might have run into enemies."

Long Ming immediately led his group, running toward the direction of the explosion.

「As they neared the battle zone.」

RUMBLE~

A distant building collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Damn, this fight is intense!"

Johnny said, his face full of astonishment.

Long Ming’s brow furrowed. He said to Xiaoqi and the others,

"You guys hide here. I’m going to take a look!"

"Okay!"

Xiaoqi’s group quickly agreed.

Long Ming cautiously crept forward, flying to the top of a commercial building to survey the battle zone.

He saw a mechanical warrior and Oritta locked in a fierce exchange of blows.

Oritta desperately swung his long spear, trying to kill the mechanical warrior, but its combat skills were superb, and it easily parried every attack.

At the same time, humanoid sentinels and mechanical dogs were surrounding and attacking Oritta’s other team members.

Long Ming spotted Cloud Fish hiding within their team, a look of surprise on his face.

’I can’t believe they actually saved Cloud Fish.’

Long Ming then decisively flew down from the rooftop and cautiously moved closer.

At that moment, Cloud Fish was hiding nervously behind Sang Rui and the others, gripping a Light Beam Gun and occasionally firing at the sentinels.

BAM!

When a sentinel was hit by the Light Beam Gun, a hole was blown through it, revealing the circuitry inside.

But as long as a vital point wasn’t hit, it wouldn’t fall.

Just then, Sang Rui and Kolei charged forward in their Destroyers, swinging their Metal Blades to cleave a sentinel in two.

"GROWL!"

Mechanical dogs pounced at them.

Sang Rui spun around, grabbed a pouncing mechanical dog, and slammed it to the ground. He stomped on its head, then swiveled his Shoulder Cannon and blasted the other approaching dogs.

BOOM!

The massive explosion sent three mechanical dogs flying.

Just then, several mechanical crates slid in along the bottom of a track.

K-CHANK!

The crates opened, and more humanoid sentinels jumped out.

They opened fire on Sang Rui, who was on a killing spree.

BANG! BANG!

Sang Rui’s mech was hit several times.

"Dammit! Captain, enemy reinforcements keep coming!"

Sang Rui turned his Destroyer and fired wildly at the approaching sentinels, shouting anxiously.

Hearing Sang Rui’s words, Oritta’s heart sank.

He glanced around. The number of enemies gathering had grown from a dozen to nearly a hundred.

Oritta’s eyes sharpened. He charged forward in his Shadow, thrusting his long spear fiercely toward the mechanical warrior.

The mechanical warrior raised its blade to block the spear.

Oritta tilted his spear.

SCREEECH!

The spear scraped along the blade, heading straight for the mechanical warrior.

The mechanical warrior leaped back to dodge, simultaneously raising the machine cannon on its left arm and firing furiously at Oritta.

BANG! BANG!

Oritta’s expression changed drastically. He immediately activated his thruster wings and leaped away.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The dense barrage of attacks struck the building behind Oritta, setting off a series of explosions.

Just then, Long Ming, piloting his Gale, swooped in low from behind. By the time the mechanical warrior sensed the danger,

Long Ming was already upon it, raising his Metal Blade for a vicious strike.

SLICE!

The mechanical warrior’s body was instantly sliced diagonally in two.

Oritta was stunned.

When he saw Long Ming, he exclaimed with delight,

"Mr. Long Ming."

"Let’s hurry and take care of these small fry,"

Long Ming said to Oritta.

"Right!"

Oritta nodded.

The two of them immediately charged toward the other sentinels.

BANG! BANG!

The sentinels swiveled their guns and fired fiercely at Long Ming.

Long Ming dodged the attacks at high speed, getting in close to slice a sentinel apart.

With Long Ming’s help, the pressure on Oritta and his team drastically decreased, and the tide of battle gradually turned.

But just then, a sudden roar came from the sky.

Long Ming and Oritta instinctively looked up to see a gray, bat-shaped aerial carrier approaching.

The carrier opened rows of deployment bays.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Hundreds of small, bat-shaped suicide drones swarmed out, heading for Long Ming and Oritta.

"Dodge!"

Long Ming’s and Oritta’s faces paled. They turned and ran.

The suicide drones crashed toward Long Ming and Oritta one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A dense cluster of explosions erupted all around them.

Seeing they couldn’t possibly dodge them all, Long Ming and Oritta, with a shared understanding, dashed into a nearby building.

Instantly, the swarm of drones followed them inside.

RUMBLE~

The entire building collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Long Ming!"

"Oritta!"

Cloud Fish, Sang Rui, and the others cried out in alarm.

Fortunately, at that moment, Long Ming and Oritta burst out from the back of the ruins.

WHOOSH~

Just then, more mechanical crates slid in, and more sentinels jumped out.

"More of them!"

Looking at the newly arrived sentinel reinforcements, Long Ming felt completely helpless.

"Aargh!"

Just then, a pained scream rang out.

Long Ming whipped his head around.

A man in a second-generation mechanical exoskeleton armor had been shot through the shoulder by a sniper rifle.

"Sang Rui, go save Kula!"

After giving Sang Rui the order, Oritta immediately scanned the surrounding tall buildings, locked onto a humanoid sentinel wielding a sniper rifle, and fired his Shoulder Cannon.
