The instant the Zod energy wave struck the nano-sized mechanical queen Masina onto the giant mosasaur, the overlord of Island A, its dark scales immediately gleamed with a crimson brilliance.
The psoriasis was spreading visibly. The nanoscale mechanical queen, Mahina, was infected with one mosasaur scale after another.
From the outside in, once the outermost dense dragon scales are assimilated, the Mechanical Queen Masina can quickly penetrate deep into the flesh, nano-ifying the entire giant mosasaur. At that point, the giant mosasaur will completely transform from a carbon-based life form into a mechanical being. Then, with just a little "mechanical magic," it can transform into the "Beast Rider Divine Arm Dragon King"!
This is similar to activating what players often call "wheelchair mode": in the context of the game, "sitting in a wheelchair" is used to describe gameplay or equipment that is simple to operate, extremely difficult, and has a very high margin for error, so that even "clumsy players" can easily pass the level or win.
In short, wheelchairs = a powerful means of extremely simplified operation. Originating from the joking nickname "even disabled people can play," it actually emphasizes the brainless and efficient characteristics of "you can do it even without hands" and "you can win with your eyes closed." In addition, it has led to various other modes: "stretcher," which requires less effort than a wheelchair and can be completed while lying down; "ambulance," which has a pre-set automatic process that doesn't require looking at the screen and relies on hearing or timed completion; and "skipping class," which uses mechanisms or bugs to skip normal battles, and so on.
Here, the "Beast Emperor Great Beast God," now partially paralyzed and without the Power Rangers, rides on the back of the "Beast Rider Armadillo King," merging into the "King Ultimate Great Beast God." This achieves an extremely simplified, "wheelchair-bound" operation—a mindless and highly efficient method that allows for "winning even with your eyes closed." It's essentially the same old trick with a different name. If nothing unexpected happens, the "biological core" of the supercomputer currently "brain-connected" to the giant mosasaur is undoubtedly Dr. Henry Wu.
This is yet another key piece of information that Wu Chen "spoiled" during the process of exploring and solving the mystery, thanks to the "eyes and ears" of the female warriors.
However, this was a detail even the triumphant goddess was unaware of: "My lord, what should we do now?"
Wu Chen then presented a detailed research report on the giant mosasaur, the overlord of Island A, with a pop-up message: "Look, this is a top-secret document from the Bai Xian research ship that was tracking the overlord of Island A."
So, Caroline O'Hara, a former senior employee of Biosyn Genetics, Denise Roberts, the female head of the "ADS Air Deterrence System," Nima Cruz, a female mercenary from the original island, Sonia Durant, an African female guide, and other remaining Biosyn employees had previously occupied a research ship to track the giant mosasaur that ruled A Island. As the adventurer camp gradually fell into disrepair, trading and searching for supplies became increasingly difficult. After receiving a live warning from WNC TV, they immediately decided to go ashore to avoid the impending supervolcano eruption crisis. Thus, with the help of Kayla Watts, a former employee of Biosyn Genetics and the pilot of the Fairchild C-119 cargo plane "Midnight Tanker," they parachuted into the Pyramid Camp and temporarily resided in "Global Street" in the central container area.
Meanwhile, the unmanned system of the Bai Xian research ship, temporarily abandoned on the shore of C Island, was breached by the "Superbrain Blockchain" in minutes, and all encrypted data was packaged up. Because Wu Chen is the master of all the female warriors and possesses supreme top-level authority, even the Triumphant Queen, who was formed by combining the architects of the Cybertronian Vortex Fox "Superbrain Blockchain," was completely unaware of Wu Chen's "cross-level call."
"'Detected gene fragment of the scaly-footed snail...'" The triumphant goddess immediately grasped the key point of this giant mosasaur research report.
The scaly-footed snail (Chrysomallon squamiferum) is the only known animal on Earth whose skeleton and scales contain iron.
Its shell consists of three layers, the outermost layer being rich in iron sulfide, giving it extremely high hardness and magnetism. Its foot is covered with dense scales, also containing iron sulfide, used for defense against predators. Inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents in the Indian Ocean (depths of approximately 2400–2800 meters), it relies on minerals ejected from hydrothermal vents (such as hydrogen sulfide and iron ions) to form an iron-rich shell. It possesses specialized esophageal glands containing sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide and iron ions into non-toxic iron sulfide, which is then deposited on its shell. It is also currently the only known animal to have integrated iron into its exoskeleton structure. The scaly-footed snail's shell is extremely hard; rifle fire only leaves scratches, attracting the attention of the US military for research into biomimetic bulletproof materials.
"That's right. The 'DNA optimization selection' caused by infection with alien genes allowed the giant mosasaur, the overlord of Island A, to acquire hard scales comparable to those of a scaly snail during the mutation process. Not only can it withstand the extreme water pressure at the bottom of the sea, but it can also protect her from weapons and allow her to survive in extreme environments."
"It's equivalent to wearing a suit of 'hard-scaled exoskeleton' armor." The Triumphant Queen then emphasized another point: "'The outer shell consists of three layers, with the outermost layer rich in iron sulfide, giving the shell extremely high hardness and magnetism.'"
“Yes, it’s magnetic.” Wu Chen smiled and ended the telepathic communication.
By this point, the battle was actually over.
The little black bird, its optical camouflage activated, perched quietly beside the highest stone step, guiding Wu Chen as he stepped into the gate of Fulong Temple. The final mystery, crucial to the ending, required his personal solution.
Soon, Wu Chen arrived at the main hall, which was filled with cyberpunk cultivation style, and came to the reception hall, which was very deserted during the closure.
It is said that on the day the crimson crystal cone fell from the sky, Fulong Temple was fortunate enough to escape unscathed. Its interior remained completely undamaged.
The receptionist from "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women" – the River God of the Forgotten River – saw Wu Chen first: "Ah, welcome, new guest."
"Hello, ma'am," Wu Chen greeted with a smile, but did not rush to state his purpose.
"New guest, what would you like?" The receptionist, the River God of the River of Oblivion, had a more sincere smile.
"Ah, I've come to retrieve the Halloween Dragon Ball as agreed beforehand," Wu Chen said, using dialogue to advance the plot.
"You've already reached an agreement with the hostess, haven't you?" Wu Chen's player identity had long been seen through by the receptionist, the River God of Forgetfulness.
“Yes,” Wu Chen laughed, “I didn’t expect that ‘the Seven-Tiered Tower has seven levels, each one more difficult to climb.’ It takes too long, and time waits for no one.”
"Understood." The receptionist, Wangchuan River God, subconsciously glanced at the terminal tablet under the counter. The mistress of the Southern Dynasty Star Hotel, 0606 Lolita, had already sent an encrypted email. Everything was as Wu Chen had predicted; 0606 Lolita directly instructed the receptionist, Wangchuan River God, to retrieve the Halloween Dragon Balls, ending this pointless Dragon Ball competition prematurely.
"New guest, please wait a moment. I'll go and fetch the Dragon Ball right away." The receptionist, the River God of the River of Oblivion, smiled warmly and naturally, without any sign of reluctance.
"The Broken City has no anniversaries." Watching her retreating figure as she turned away, Wu Chen said meaningfully, "What do you mean?"
"I won't reward you for your efforts; I'll only record that you're still alive," the receptionist, the River God of Oblivion, replied without turning his head.
“Yes. No matter how hard you try, if you can't survive Cleaning Day, you're destined to be forgotten,” Wu Chen said, echoing her words.
"So, try to live." The receptionist, the River God of the River of Oblivion, remained calm, as if he were detached from the situation.
"Agreed." Wu Chen ended the conversation at just the right moment.
