Chapter 53: The eerie silence brought by the Transformers, is this the work of a Mechanic?

Jinsha City, having received feedback from the Inspection Division.

The eyebrows of the city's guardian furrowed, realizing he had overthought the situation. How could such an exaggerated creature be the work of a student?

He glanced at the elderly man in a purple robe beside him.

"Elder Qingyun, have you been able to access the opponent's information panel?"

The elder shook his head with furrowed brows.

"It's strange. I, an S-class wandering Daoist, have never failed using the Eye of Truth skill. Yet I can't see any information about this creature. General Qi, are you sure this isn't a weapon developed by your military?"

General Qi shook his head repeatedly, a bitter smile on his face.

"Ever since powerful professionals have taken up a larger role in our military's combat capabilities, we've stopped researching such things, instead focusing our funding on cultivating elite professionals within the military."

"Moreover, Elder Qingyun, you've been a special advisor in our military for years now. Have you ever seen a war machine so exaggerated?"

The old Daoist was at a loss for words. After a moment, he sighed heavily, gripping his whisk.

"General Qi, if that's the case, you might need to request an emergency War God Order!"

"A War God Order?!"

General Qi's expression changed drastically.

The War God Order wasn't something that could be easily applied for. Once approved, it would mobilize the top ten professionals of the Dragon Nation.

Each of them was an SSS-class powerhouse with high ranks.

Not only were they influential in the Dragon Nation, but they also represented the pinnacle of this world.

"Elder Qingyun, you can't be too careless with your words. You know how terrifying the War God Order is. Unless there's a city-destroying danger, it cannot be used."

The old Daoist's eyes grew deep and distant.

"Would a monster of at least level 80 be considered city-destroying danger to you, General Qi?"

Seeing the General's face turn pale, the old Daoist clenched his whisk and gritted his teeth.

"My Eye of Truth can see through all information of creatures no more than 20 levels above me, even those with Red Hero or Legendary rank concealment artifacts, but right now, I can't see anything about this unknown monster... and I'm exactly level 60."

Now, General Qi's face was completely pale.

He wasn't afraid to die. He had chosen to be stationed at Jinsha City, on the edge of the monster-infested region.

What worried him were the staff members of the major schools in the city and the students in the desert.

This was the examination site for the top universities of the Dragon Nation.

If such a monster of unknown information and at least level 80 were to enter the desert, it would be a major catastrophe for the entire Dragon Nation.

An entire generation of promising professionals would be wiped out.

That would mean a lost generation of high-level professionals.

"No! We can't let that happen! Everyone prepare for battle! Immediately contact the Inspection Division. We might be in big trouble. Tell them to urgently recall all students!"

"Even if all 20,000 soldiers of Jinsha City die, we must buy them enough time!"

As General Qi considered the horrific consequences, he pushed aside his concerns about personal life and death and commanded his deputy.

However, the deputy seemed to have seen something terrifying and ignored the general's orders.

Instead, he pointed in the direction of the monster outside the city.

"General, look quickly..."

"Look at your grandmother's leg, it's an emergency, and you want to... holy crap!"

General Qi scolded, his heart filled with anxiety and a determination to face death. However, when he turned to look outside the city, he couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

"Clank clank clank..."

The heavy metallic sounds came from the giant vehicle that had been motionless until now. To everyone's astonishment, it began to transform right in front of their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, a sci-fi and military-style villa appeared before them, blocking the evacuation route.

The elderly Daoist beside him began to perform a technique with his fingers, his eyes emitting a burst of light as he used the "Eye of Truth" once again.

However, unlike the previous attempt, this time a few pieces of information appeared in his vision.

[Name: Transformers Base]

[Type: Mechanical Creation (Creation of Mechanic Zheng Mu)]

That was all. But it was enough to excite the elderly Daoist. He urgently pulled General Qi, who had been stunned by the sight.

"Quick, ask the examiners if there's a candidate named Zheng Mu, whose profession is a mechanic! Hurry!"

"Zheng Mu? Mechanic? Right, right, go ask!"

General Qi snapped back to his senses, carefully glancing at the massive structure outside the city, which took up at least a square kilometer. "Elder Qingyun, did you see anything?"

The elder nodded but murmured to himself, "A mechanic? If I remember correctly, isn't that a rather lackluster profession? One that can't create any mechanical creations and doesn't even have a chance to grow in the early stages?"

"How could this be..."

Although he could only see the name of the transforming behemoth and its creator, Elder Qingyun's mind was racing with thoughts.

Just based on the scale of this mechanical creation, it must be at least of a purple rarity level. If this was truly the work of a new professional in this year's elite university entrance exams, it would be quite a spectacle.

Meanwhile, representatives from various universities who had been closely monitoring the situation in Huangsha City were also shocked by the sight of the base vehicle transforming into a massive building.

The astonishing scene left everyone speechless.

Aboard the Southwest Military Academy's Flying Cloud Boat, even the experienced General Qin was shocked by the scene, his mouth agape.

"What is that?!"

At that moment, an urgent inquiry from Huangsha City came through. He Guang, who was standing behind General Qin, immediately stood up when he heard the name "Mechanic Zheng Mu."

"General! Zheng Mu is one of our people!"
