Chapter 1026 - 573: Iron Hand Bucklon, Points Exchange Begins!

He quickly scanned the goblin engineer with his eyes.

He found its initial loyalty was only 70.

As for the attributes, they were quite ordinary as well.

Only strength and wisdom reached 23 and 30 respectively.

Furthermore, the goblin engineer did not possess combat skills.

But it could operate most magic energy vehicles and mechas up to Tier Six.

It also had the technical ability of a [High-level Engineer].

Clearly, it was purely a technical talent.

"Welcome to our ranks, Iron Hand Balunke!"

"I’ll call you Tiezi then!"

"Tiezi, in fact, our territory has quite a few good things."

"I believe you will definitely be very interested."

Zong Shen curled his lips into a smile and gave it a nickname with an Earthly flair.

At the same time, he leaned forward, speaking mysteriously in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the guy showed interest.

"Things that would interest me."

"You...are you serious?"

Iron Hand Balunke widened his eyes and asked repeatedly.

Goblins are inherently a curious race.

And Zong Shen’s words obviously piqued its curiosity.

At this time, Zong Shen just smiled without saying a word and stepped forward, arriving at the open space of the central district.

He swiftly raised his right hand and waved it.

Taking out the Tier Five [Earth Shaker Tank] that he previously acquired from the storage grid.

As a combat-type magic energy vehicle, this thing would definitely drive any goblin engineer crazy!

This Tier Five tank certainly represents a fairly high technical level in mechanical engineering.

When the enormous Earth Shaker Tank appeared on the open space.

Zong Shen immediately heard the exaggerated shriek of goblin engineer Iron Hand Balunke from behind.

"My gosh! Look at what I’m seeing?"

"It’s actually a large magic energy vehicle!"

Then, Zong Shen saw the goblin engineer skillfully dash towards the tank, quickly climbing onto it.

With his rear sticking up, his body crouched as he meticulously observed the tank.

Zong Shen smiled without saying a word, not at all surprised by Iron Hand Balunke’s exuberant reaction.

After all, goblin merchants love money, and goblin engineers love these mechanical wonders.

Zong Shen didn’t mind at all, letting him crawl around the Earth Shaker Tank, studying its mechanical structure.

At this moment, Iron Hand Balunke crawled into the cockpit and emerged after a minute or two.

His face filled with surprise, leaping back towards Zong Shen, falling to his knees.

Holding Zong Shen’s left foot with his hands.

[High-level Goblin Engineer Iron Hand Balunke’s loyalty to you increased by 10, current loyalty 80]

A loyalty notification appeared.

Zong Shen just glanced at it, his mind dispersed the notification.

Such loyalty change prompts appear at least dozens of times a day, he was long accustomed to them.

The attitude of Iron Hand Balunke in front of him did a complete one-eighty.

"Master, please entrust this vehicle to me for research!"

"I am willing to pilot it for you!"

His tone was urgent, tinged with a pleading emotion.

Zong Shen curled his lips, speaking in a captivating tone.

"As long as you work hard for the territory, there will be more good things in the future."

"Moreover, outside the territory’s living area, there is an ancient combat puppet."

"I believe you will be interested in that too!"

Upon hearing this, the goblin engineer’s eyes lit up again.

"Wonderful!"

"Iron Hand Balunke will do his utmost to serve the territory!"

He bowed his head again to show loyalty.

Although Zong Shen didn’t know in which era this guy was sealed away in the Other Dimension, that combat puppet, simply repaired by the Dwarf Uncle, was perfect for this guy to practice on.

"Stand up, you can study this tank for a day."

"The territory currently lacks a mechanical workshop, but I’ll arrange for someone to set up a simple shelter where you can conduct your research."

"Here are some magic energy crystals, charge the tank a bit first."

Zong Shen said pleasantly, casually handing over some high-level magic energy crystals to Iron Hand Balunke, who was gripping his foot, causing quite a bit of awkwardness.

Receiving his promise, the goblin engineer stood up, took the magic energy crystals, and eagerly climbed up to the cockpit entrance on the tank, diving inside to start fiddling.

At that moment, a beam of white light appeared before Zong Shen’s eyes.

He flinched his eyebrow, knowing that it must be midnight.

This was characteristic of the time stop state.

It indicated that the Heat Wave Challenge had been ongoing for 36 hours.

In essence, this was the clearest time he had experienced among the three challenge events.

The various flashy props and resources he had stockpiled were used to great effect in this challenge.

What’s called foundation? This is called foundation!

If he hadn’t acquired the [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow] and hadn’t conquered the Griffin’s Nest to obtain a large quantity of magical gemstones, the harvest from this challenge wouldn’t have been as substantial.

Without time for detailed thought, the white light rapidly expanded before his eyes.

The appearance of the time stop state meant that the temporary points exchange for this round of challenges was about to unlock.

As the white light dissipated, announcements began appearing before Zong Shen’s eyes.
