Chapter 101 Wakan Transformation: The Mechanical Cyclops
Chapter 101 Wakan Transformation: The Mechanical Cyclops
With the items distributed, the matter was considered settled. Fan Knight and Ignition Sword Saint agreed to help Zhang Deshuai level up, and the three of them quickly teleported away from Chaos City.
Li Hanqiang switched to single-player mode again. He went to Chaos City Square, but instead of rushing to claim the city defense reward, he designated the locations for building barracks for the little monk Huixin and Xiang Mang.
The current architectural layout of Chaos City is such that the Time-Space Wormhole, the City Gate, the Heart of Chaos, the City Defense Center, and the Endless Tower are all in a straight line. Further behind is the Mysterious Shop. To the left of the Mysterious Shop, there is a passage leading directly to the entrance of the Azure Wave Pool, and to the right, there is a passage leading directly to the Demon Mountain Cave.
To the left of Chaos City is a building called Chaos Treasury, and to the right is another building called Defense Tower Shop. For the sake of symmetry and aesthetics, Li Hanqiang ordered the little monk Huixin and Xiang Mang to oversee the construction of barracks next to Chaos Treasury and Defense Tower Shop, respectively.
The little monk Huixin mobilized Xiaozuanfeng's patrol team to help, and Xiang Mang brought Xiao Tuolei's robbery team to help. The construction of the barracks will take five hours to complete.
After a brief observation, Li Hanqiang entered the Endless Tower. A new leaderboard called the [City Defense Leaderboard] was opened in the Endless Tower, and the top 100 players who resisted the most waves of monster attacks could be listed on the leaderboard.
Li Hanqiang glanced at the list and saw that it was full of anonymous players. He couldn't help but scoff. What's the point of a leaderboard if everyone is anonymous?
The player ranked first on the city defense leaderboard has defended against the monster siege up to the 19th wave, while the players ranked second to thirtieth have defended against the monster siege up to the 18th wave, and the remaining 69 players have all defended against the monster siege up to the 17th wave.
"I can rank tenth in the gold coin challenge, but I'm over a hundred in the city defense ranking. I imagine that many of those on the city defense leaderboard must have relied on player city defense," Li Hanqiang thought to himself.
Looking at the coin challenge leaderboard, apart from the person in tenth place, the other nine are all anonymous, and the person in first place has already earned 280 coins.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Li Hanqiang sighed. After leaving the Endless Tower, he saw Wakan II circling the Cyclops, making a beeping sound like an alarm clock.
"Could it be...?"
Li Hanqiang was overjoyed and quickly went to Wakan II, asking, "Little Wakan, can this cyclops be transformed into a mechanical life form?"
Wakan II stopped beside Li Hanqiang and said, "Wakan thinks it can be modified, but Wakan doesn't have the materials for modification."
"What kind of modification materials do you need?" Li Hanqiang asked.
"Metal materials, mechanical parts, mineral crystals, weapons and equipment, and so on, Wakan's modifications are unique, all thanks to inspiration," Wakan II said earnestly.
Li Hanqiang hurriedly said, "All based on inspiration? Then come with me."
After saying this, Li Hanqiang led Wakan II and the Cyclops to the Demon Mountain Cave.
Curious, the terrifying, chubby cannibal also followed.
Little angel Eileen watched secretly, hesitated for a moment, and then followed at a distance.
Upon arriving at the foot of Demon Mountain, Wakan II began wandering around the goblin vendor's stall, remarking, "Looks like there are usable parts. Wakan's inspiration is bursting forth..."
He suddenly looked at Li Hanqiang: "Lord City Lord, may I use these miscellaneous goods?"
"Use it, use it as you like!" Li Hanqiang said. "Bai Pang, you go with the Wakan governor and help him carry things!"
"Okay!" The chubby guy happily followed behind Wakan II, and a moment later he picked up a bunch of odds and ends, including gears, iron bars, patches, hammers, wrenches and so on.
After a while, Wakan II finished selecting the groceries and said to Li Hanqiang, "Lord City Lord, this isn't enough!"
"I still have some equipment here!" Li Hanqiang threw out all the equipment dropped by the monsters during the siege, but unfortunately, Wakan II didn't choose any of it.
"Then come with me to the top of the mountain, there are plenty of ores there!" Li Hanqiang said.
Wakan II understood and immediately set off, with the chubby man following behind, carrying a pile of miscellaneous goods. He looked rather resentful and turned to Li Hanqiang, saying, "The little demons finally managed to push it down..."
He glanced at the Cyclops again and said, "This stupid giant has no intelligence and doesn't even know how to help this general share the burden."
Since the Cyclops has no personality, he naturally cannot help the chubby guy carry items.
Upon reaching the mountaintop cave, Wakan II collected all the ores that Little Drill Wind had gathered during his patrol, but left the black iron ore untouched. Then, he performed a miraculous operation, stuffing the parts and ores into the Cyclops's body.
Under Wakan II's manipulation, the Cyclops's body was as smooth as water, with little resistance to its skin, and it stood still obediently.
The chubby man stood beside Wakhan II, acting as his deputy and constantly handing him items.
Seven or eight minutes later, Wakan II stuffed all the items into the Cyclops's body, and one of his arms turned into a small hammer, which he used to continuously hammer around the Cyclops...
Bang bang bang bang...
Two minutes later, Wakan II stepped back three meters and said to Li Hanqiang, "Reporting to the city lord, due to limited materials, Wakan can only complete the first stage of modification on the Cyclops. We will continue the modification when Wakan has another burst of inspiration."
After saying this, the Cyclops' body emitted a white light, its body visibly began to grow taller, its arms swelled up as if inflated, and its huge single eye flashed with fire.
After a short while, when the light dissipated, the Cyclops had reached a height of six meters. His two arms had completely transformed into mechanical arms, gleaming with a silver metallic luster. His fists were as big as a small car, hanging naturally, almost touching the ground.
Its head also turned into a silver alloy, and its huge single eye became an electronic eye that emitted a red light.

"Not bad, not bad! The attack range has increased, and there are two more skills. Laser Eyes is very strong! This is only the first stage of modification. Wakan II will probably be able to modify this Cyclops into a BOSS in the future!" Li Hanqiang nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Wakan II's modification capabilities.
The chubby guy next to him looked at the Cyclops with envy. He stood next to the Cyclops and compared his arm to its own, then trotted over to King Wakan II and said, "Your Excellency, please do me a favor and transform my mace-wielding arm into a mechanical one, okay?"
Wakhan II shook his head repeatedly: "It can't be modified..."
He then moved to the back and approached the little angel Eileen, asking, "Eileen, don't you think Wakan's technique is pretty good? Wakan works very hard!"
Little Angel Eileen quickly hid far away, peeking out from behind a rock with half her head, secretly watching Wakan II without saying a word.
