Chapter 8: Tentacle At The Mouth of The Cave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing Grimm’s message, the players instantly started discussing.

[ Trading a portion of nutrient water for a seed, he’s too good at doing business! ]

[ Who doesn’t know that seeds can grow food, it’s simply wishful thinking! ]

[ Exactly! A profiteer! ]

While the few of them were discussing animatedly, suddenly, a player sent a message.

“I have seeds. I’m going to trade now. I’m dying of thirst!”

“What the f*ck? You’re really going to trade seeds for a portion of nutrient water? Are you crazy?”

“I don’t have fresh water. Try being thirsty for such a long time!”

“I got it, I got it, thank you, big brother!”

Grimm smiled slightly. Those players who were gossiping probably still have plenty of fresh water and food. Therefore, they could not understand the players who did not have fresh water and how anxious they were when they saw the trade.

No matter how they commented and held grudges, it was their business. The key was to get what he wanted.

In less than ten minutes, he got six mutated seeds. And those players who successfully made the deal not only didn’t feel they were at a loss, but also expressed their gratitude in the transaction remarks.

Grimm smiled and planted all eight seeds in the planting base.

Then he took eight more portions of nutrient water and poured them into the water tank of the plantation base.

After that, Grimm opened the technology construction interface again. He needed to find a tool that could be used to dismantle the wreckage of the spaceship.

Soon, a manufacturing principle caught Grimm’s attention.

[ Disintegrator mechanical arm: basic energy 20 points, mechanical module x10, compact alloy x 5, energy raw ore x 5]

[ Description: installed on the arm and used to disintegrate various materials. Efficiency is average. ]

Although the description said that the efficiency was average, Grimm didn’t mind at all. He had to make it first. There was still a 100-fold increase.

He gave the order and consumed 20 points of basic energy., Soon, a heavy mechanical arm was made in front of Grimm.

In the next moment, the 100-fold enhancement took effect.

[ The 100-fold enhancement has taken effect! ]

[ The disintegrator mechanical arm has received a 100-fold enhancement, acquired disintegrator exoskeleton! ]

The disintegrator mechanical arm in front of Grimm turned into a huge metal exoskeleton.

This thing looked mighty and domineering. Opening the top, one could directly climb in and operate it.

He checked the attribute description.

[ Disintegrator exoskeleton ]

[ Description: one charge can be used for 24 hours and consumes 100 points of basic energy. It possesses great strength and two multi-functional mechanical arms. Its defensive performance is average. Although it is not a combat type exoskeleton, it still has a certain amount of offensive ability. ]

Grimm smiled. With this thing, it would be much more convenient to disassemble materials in the future.

It was just that the power consumption was really not ordinary.

If it was not for the collection vehicle and the exoskeleton coming with power, charging would have consumed 200 points of basic energy!

Grimm did not hesitate to put on the disintegrator exoskeleton. He barely got into the collection vehicle and left the spaceship. He went all the way to the location of the previous spaceship wreckage.

Next, he disassembled and collected materials!

As the two mechanical arms began to cut the hull, Grimm kept pieces of materials into his bag.

[ Acquired: dense alloy x 2! ]

[ Acquired: Chip module x 1! ]

…

In less than three hours, the entire spaceship wreckage was about to be disassembled completely.

But at this time, Grimm suddenly heard a muffled crash sound.

Bang!

In an instant, the remaining wreckage was sent flying by some force. Meanwhile at the original location of the spaceship wreckage, there was a cave.

[ Warning: unknown dangerous creature detected! ]

Grimm immediately became alert. In the next moment, he saw a huge tentacle stretching out from the cave. The thing’s flesh was a black-gray color. Its movements were abnormally swift and violent. It fiercely whipped towards Grimm’s location.

He immediately extended his mechanical arm to block, but the strength of the tentacle was too great.

He was instantly knocked flying and almost flew out of this planet.

Fortunately, Grimm’s movements were very fast.

With force, the exoskeleton grabbed the ground.

But he knew clearly that he simple wouldn’t be able to deal with this enormous creature relying on the exoskeleton.

“Retreat!”

Grimm quickly snug into the harvester and immediately started to accelerate.

In an instant, the harvester’s propeller spewed out two beams of light and flew straight towards the location of the spaceship.

However, the tentacle in the cave was extremely fast and actually kept chasing closely behind.

Although Grimm pulled away, he found that the tentacle did not give up.

Moreover, that tentacle was too long!

Grimm rushed straight into the spaceship. Seeing Grimm enter the spaceship, the Tentacle did not give up and instead chased even more closely.

He suddenly understood something.

The wreckage of the spaceship that he saw before probably did not crash there. Instead, it was captured by the tentacle and pulled to the entrance of the cave.

“Danger!”

Grimm ordered the spaceship to take off as soon as he entered the spaceship.

The five thrusters spat out white flames at the same time. In an instant, the spaceship took off.

The tentacle did not give up. It reached toward the spaceship.

Grimm sneered.

“Now, I’m not afraid of You!”

He gave the order.

“High-energy pulse heavy cannon, shoot the monster!”

As he gave the order, the high-energy pulse heavy cannon turned its muzzle and shot out a white light toward the tentacle.

Boom!

The white light shot toward the tentacle and directly penetrated it.

Not only that!

The planet that Grimm had docked on just now was instantly penetrated by the high-energy pulse.

The tentacle instantly turned into thick smoke. It’s body inside the planet was also burned.

The damaged flesh could not withstand the vacuum of the universe and instantly exploded, spraying out a large amount of black liquid.

At this time, Grimm ordered to capture the nearby resources.

The Mechanical Claw moved out.

[ Captured: poisonous liquid x 1! ]

[ Poisonous liquid x 1 has a 100 times amplification, poisonous liquid x 100! ]

[ Captured: Bone Shard x 1! ]

[ Bone Shard x 1:100 times enhanced. Bone Shard x 100! ]

…

Within a short while, Grimm had obtained a large amount of resources.

But he scratched his head.

“What can poisonous liquid and Bone Shard Do?”

[ Poisonous liquid]

[ Description: can be used to create biochemical weapons. ]

[ Bone Shard ]

[ dDscription: it can be used as bait to lure all kinds of monsters in the universe. ]

Grimm nodded.

“It seems that these things are somewhat useful.”

He piloted the spaceship and collected some supplies nearby. After all the supplies here had been cleared, he ordered the spaceship to continue sailing in a certain direction.

The universe was very quiet. Grimm had been busy for several hours. He was tired and hungry, so he ate while studying the schematics of the technological interface.

He wanted to see what kind of biochemical weapon the poisonous liquid could create.

“This thing is not bad!”

[ Poisonous liquid explosive bomb: 10 points of basic energy, common alloy x 5, poisonous liquid x 5]

[ Description: a special kind of artillery bomb. After attacking the target, it will explode and release poisonous liquid. It can only be used with a fort. ]

“As for fort… Let’s see if we can make it!”
