All the other Lizardmen sensed something and gathered around, surrounding Medusa in the middle.
The Lizardmen knelt before Medusa's corpse, prostrating themselves in worship while murmuring “Queen.”
Naturally, Queen was a word Li Zhen had taught them.
It represented their leader, their king.
No Lizardman dared touch Medusa's corpse.
Every night, they would come and kneel in worship.
Two months later, an egg beneath Medusa's corpse hatched. It was a smaller version of Medusa.
Her appearance was more delicate than before, and she looked even more like a Human.
Although she had only just hatched, her eyes were deep and filled with wisdom, exactly the Same as the previous Medusa's.
“Queen!”
“Queen!”
When the Lizardmen saw the newly hatched Medusa, they knelt there and shouted excitedly one after another.
While gently biting off and swallowing pieces of her eggshell, Medusa calmly watched the scene before her.
After eating, she glanced at her own corpse. It had been dead for only a month, and because this place was relatively dry, it had not rotted. It looked like a dried corpse.
She ignored her dried corpse and instead came before the Axe forged by Li Zhen. Gently stroking it, she began humming Bug Fly.
“The dark sky hangs low
Bright stars follow close behind
Little bugs fly, little bugs fly
Who are you missing?”
The sorrow had disappeared from her face, replaced by a Lightly smiling expression. “Zhen, I will wait for you to return.”
Earth.
After Li Zhen completed the Mission and Disappeared from the Cave, he returned directly home.
Having stayed there for so long, he felt somewhat dazed upon suddenly returning home.
Li Zhen picked up his Mobile Phone and took a look.
Before entering, he had made a note, and now he discovered that less than a minute had passed.
“I stayed there for two years, right?”
One year before that, and another year after.
This was the longest Li Zhen had ever spent on a Mission.
Many things had happened, leaving him somewhat emotional.
“Xiao Sha, don't blame me.” Li Zhen then thought of Medusa.
At the time, he had considered taking her away.
After two years of nurturing, even a pet would inspire feelings.
However, he felt that bringing Medusa to Earth was too unrealistic.
Leaving aside all the inconveniences she would face after arriving here, the key point was that, as the Queen of the Lizard Tribe, those Lizardmen could not do without her. If he rashly took Medusa away, it might cause this newly Evolved tribe to perish directly.
He could imagine what Medusa would be like after he left.
“I hope you will get used to it.”
“You are the Queen of the Lizard Tribe. From now on, you must lead the entire tribe to rise.”
“At worst, I can return to see you later.”
Thinking this way, Li Zhen quickly let go of the unhappiness in his heart.
He looked toward his System Panel.
At this glance, he immediately became happy again.
【Li Zhen】
【Level: Level 3 Life Protector】
【Origin Point: 4】
A full four Origin Points!
The original one, plus the three obtained from this Mission, made four in total.
This was the most Origin Points he had ever possessed.
“A Level 3 Mission gives three Origin Points. Not bad, not bad. All my hard work on this Mission was worth it.” Li Zhen gazed at his Origin Points and revealed a satisfied Smile.
This Mission had truly been difficult, and it had taken far too long.
Exchanging it for these three Origin Points now made him feel that it had been worthwhile.
Since he had a savings of four Origin Points, it was naturally time to Copy Mechanical equipment.
“No delays. Act Immediately.”
Li Zhen was a man with very strong execution.
He had already decided which Mechanical equipment to Copy next.
He picked up the phone and began making a call.
“Hello, may I ask whether you are still hiring over there?”
“Where did you see the recruitment information? We are not hiring for any other positions now. Only the Blast Furnace Worker position is open.” A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Yes, I intend to apply for the Blast Furnace Worker position.” Li Zhen replied.
“Blast Furnace Worker? Are you sure? This type of work is very arduous, and it is not something an ordinary person can handle. Moreover, we are hiring long-term workers, not short-term workers.”
“I intend to work long-term.”
“How old are you this year? What is your educational background? What was your previous Work, and why did you stop?” The woman got into character and began questioning Li Zhen.
Li Zhen answered each question.
His answers left the woman on the opposite side very satisfied.
“We are relatively strict here, so you will need to undergo an assessment first,” the woman continued.
“I would like to go over and take a look first.”
“That works too. Add me on WeChat later, and I will send you the address.”
“All right.” Li Zhen hung up with a Smile, then added her on WeChat.
After waiting a while for her to accept, she sent Li Zhen a location.
SC Province Yangde City Erzhong Mechanical Group Co., Ltd.
The entire journey from Li Zhen's location to Yangde was 1,989.7 kilometers. Driving would take at least twenty-one hours.
Therefore, Li Zhen did not plan to drive his shabby car there. Instead, he chose to take a plane.
The flight took only a little over three hours.
Although he spent some additional Time traveling by car in between, the total was still only four hours.
That afternoon, he arrived at SC Province Yangde City Erzhong Mechanical Group Co., Ltd.
As far as the eye could see, red flags were fluttering everywhere.
The large office building was extremely imposing.
The person who received him was from Human Resources.
She was a woman with a certain temperament.
Filling out information, completing forms, checking his credit record, and undergoing an employment assessment.
It took Li Zhen half a month to finally get inside.
It had not been easy.
This was only a probationary position, not a formal one, and there was a one-month probation period.
His position was the most grueling. He specifically dealt with blast furnaces and molten iron, making it essentially manual labor.
The temperature at the Work site was frighteningly high, and on top of working in such heat, he had to wear protective clothing. It truly was not a place an ordinary person could endure.
No wonder they were still hiring.
“For me as I am now, it is nothing.”
Looking at the sweaty, pale faces of his coworkers, Li Zhen could not help feeling fortunate that he possessed a Level 3 Steel Body.
“I wonder whether I could endure being thrown inside.” Li Zhen suddenly had a strange thought.
“Hey, do you know about the 100,000-ton Forging Machine?” As he became familiar with his coworkers, he began asking about the goal that had brought him here.
“Of course. It is in the forging department,” a coworker replied casually.
The 100,000-ton Forging Machine was the pride of their Erzhong Mechanical company. There was no employee who did not know about it.
Li Zhen easily obtained the information he wanted.
That was right. His goal this time was the largest Forging Machine in his country, one that ranked first in the World—the 100,000-ton Forging Machine.
The 100,000-ton Forging Machine had been created to forge large Mechanical equipment.
For example, the main shafts and turbine blades of various aircraft; as well as the major components of Aircraft Carriers and Tanks. It covered numerous fields, including aviation, naval vessels, aerospace, Weapons, electric power, and nuclear industry.
This behemoth stood thirty meters above ground and twenty meters below ground, with a total weight of 30,000 tons.
When Li Zhen saw it, he finally understood what a behemoth truly was.
Four massive pillars supported its majestic body. Driven by hydraulic cylinders, the movable beam moved up and down, applying pressure of up to 100,000 tons. Inside, metal was forged into Form as though pressing mooncakes.
What did 100,000 tons represent?
100,000 tons = 100,000 tons.
It was equivalent to the weight of 53,333 passenger cars.
It was equivalent to the combined weight of 2,000 light Tanks.
It was equivalent to the weight of a 100,000-ton Aircraft Carrier.
This was the reason Li Zhen had chosen to Copy it.
Such Powerful force made his Mood surge.
The strength of 100,000 tons—this was the strength a true man ought to possess!
From the first time Li Zhen saw its specifications, he had been captivated by it.
Li Zhen came before the Forging Machine and lightly touched it.
【100,000-ton Forging Machine, Level 3 Machinery, Copyable】
【Copyable Rewards: 100,000-ton strength, Steel Body +1, 30,000 tons of gravity】
When he saw the System prompt indicating that it could be Copied, Li Zhen's body trembled slightly. It was impossible to describe how excited he was.
Although he still did not quite understand what 30,000 tons of gravity meant, that did not stop him from beginning the Copy.
“Copy!”
As Li Zhen initiated the Copy, a phantom detached itself from the 100,000-ton Forging Machine before him. The phantom was identical to the Forging Machine, descended onto Li Zhen's head, and slowly Shrunk while merging with him.
Finally, a flash of light appeared, and it completely Integrated into Li Zhen's body before disappearing.
