Looking at Rio Castros, who seemed to hold an impregnable sign, Yang Tao, sitting on the soft sofa, reached out, picked a grape, and threw it into his mouth.
Eric was already in a state of frenzy, diving into a first-floor exhibition area, continuously recording information about various Entities.
"Want some?"
Yang Tao pushed the grapes towards Rio Castros.
"Thank you!"
The other party reached out, picked up a grape, and put it into his body. The grape was enveloped by his body and then decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yang Tao's eyelids twitched as he watched.
The most intelligent race in the Backrooms only possesses a basic single-cell structure…
Slime people really are just slime.
"What do you usually eat?"
"Death Moth. The acid in their bodies is very useful to us. According to you humans, we can obtain magnesium by decomposing the acid, and then mix it with our own mucus to obtain chloroplasts."
"Then, the Lost Clan will quietly stay in a place with light to perform photosynthesis. Regarding the Lost Clan, there are also detailed records on the second floor."
Yang Tao: "..."
So not only are they single-celled, but they're also vegetative.
"Eric! Eric! Go to the second floor first to check the information about the Lost Clan. The first-floor Entities aren't important. If I have time, I'll catch a live one for you."
Eric, who was looking at the Bone Thief's data, immediately responded when he heard Yang Tao's voice.
"No need to rush. I have lived here for hundreds of years, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will still live here for hundreds of years."
Rio Castros reminded him softly. Yang Tao nodded slightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about you Lost Clan."
"How much do you know about the Pantheon's information?"
Hearing the name Pantheon, Rio Castros was noticeably hesitant. Hmm… at least his digestion speed slowed down a bit.
"Pantheon…"
"In front of Them, we Lost Clan are just ants… No, we're not even ants."
"Even at our Lost Clan's most glorious time, we couldn't even glimpse a corner."
"The only thing that can be confirmed is the Lost Land, well, the Backrooms. This is just Their playground and petri dish."
Yang Tao curled his lip in disdain when he heard Rio Castros's words. Whenever he asked about such 'god-level' matters, all the informed people became vague.
But then again, it was reasonable.
When Yang Tao placed the Sculk Catalyst in the One Piece world, he didn't consider the feelings of the Mary Geoise ants.
Even some slaves and even ordinary Celestial Dragons didn't know what happened before they were crushed to death in Mary Geoise by his transformed crab.
"Don't ask about Them anymore. Those guys don't show their faces easily anyway."
Just like the Crimson Moon of level 14, their concept of time might be completely different from ordinary humans.
A month passes like an hour.
Sleeping for a while, he wouldn't know if several months or even years had passed.
Yang Tao stood up, stretched, and said to Rio Castros, "I'm leaving my person to you. I hope you can communicate well. He may not be as smart as you, but he is very serious…"
"Adhering to the principle of equivalent exchange, if you need my help with anything, you can tell me or Eric. I will definitely help you if I can."
Rio Castros reached out upon hearing this, and a mass of green mucus emerged from his palm.
"This is my mark. If you hold it, all members of the Lost Clan will recognize you. I hope you can live in peace with my people in the Backrooms."
Yang Tao hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the jelly-like substance into his hand.
He gently squeezed it. The elastic feel was very good.
"Okay, I promise."
As his voice fell, the health bar border above Rio Castros's head also changed from white to green.
Yang Tao smiled and said, "You can come to my place as a guest sometime."
He exchanged for a glittering golden key and handed it to Rio Castros.
"Okay."
"Then I'll go first."
With that, Yang Tao flew directly to the second floor, found Eric who was looking for information on the Lost Clan, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Eric, I'm going back first. Don't get too engrossed. Don't forget, you still have a wife and children."
Eric nodded slightly and smiled, "I know."
At this moment, Eric was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice bin. The mysterious Backrooms had finally revealed its skirt to him, giving him a feeling of exhilaration.
Returning to the Overworld.
Yang Tao did not stop but went straight to the Wandering Earth world, immediately teleporting to Mars using the fireplace brick.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Bumblebee and Jetfire engaged in a fist-to-fist exchange.
The two were clearly sparring and were not using any weapons.
The battle between the veteran leader-class Jetfire and the enchanted Bumblebee was extremely exciting. Unfortunately, Bumblebee was still a bit young. Although his size was growing rapidly, the power gap between him and Jetfire was still quite large.
Coupled with the leader-class bonus, Jetfire clearly had the upper hand.
Yang Tao took out a piece of watermelon from his backpack and munched on it with a crunching sound.
"Bumblebee, get up quickly!"
"Let Jetfire know what a tornado destroying a parking lot is!"
Jetfire: "..."
As for Bumblebee, Jetfire was also shocked. This kid was clearly a new-generation Autobot, but his strength surpassed many veteran Decepticons.
Moreover, the other party was clearly a young hothead.
When Bumblebee grows up to become the new leader of the Autobots, accepting the inheritance and advancing to a leader-class Autobot, it will be a disaster for the Decepticons.
But…
He retired, what did that have to do with him?
Jetfire threw Bumblebee out with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Alright, stop. Young people are just different, full of vitality!"
Jetfire walked over to Yang Tao, sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?"
"I suddenly remembered something, so I came back."
Yang Tao said as he walked towards the Star Extractor.
"If I can accelerate the Star Extractor, do you think there will be any danger?"
Jetfire was stunned when he heard that.
"The Star Extractor was jointly created by the Seven Primes. Besides me, others don't even know how to activate it, let alone increase its power?"
Hearing Jetfire's words, Yang Tao stood under the tall Star Extractor, pointed his finger at the Lever above, and gave Jetfire a benevolent smile.
Jetfire: "..."
Activation method? Yang Tao didn't use the Matrix of Leadership to activate it at all.
"I mean to accelerate time, not directly increase its efficiency. I can make its time flow rate 400% faster."
"Time?"
Looking at the incredulous Jetfire, Yang Tao took the blue Acceleration Torch from his backpack and shook it in his hand.
"Any machine within its 9×9 range can get a 400% time bonus."
Jetfire walked over to Yang Tao and leaned down to look at the 'small wooden stick' in Yang Tao's hand: "I'm old, don't make such jokes with me…"
"Even at Cybertron's strongest, it couldn't master the power of time!"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Jetfire, don't always think about Cybertron's past glory. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean others can't."
With that, Yang Tao no longer hesitated and directly inserted the Acceleration Torch into the Star Extractor.
