They had just spent so much time on it and couldn't do anything. If it could be worn, their own defensive power would surely increase several times.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Look, there's an entry here."

Just as these words were spoken, someone beside them chimed in.

Underneath the surface of this entry robot, there was yet another entry.

Entry: The flesh is weak.

Effect: You transcend the mortal flesh, no longer subject to hunger, pain, or lifespan limitations brought by the body.

Negative Effect: You become integrated with machinery, your functions affected by machine aging, requiring regular maintenance and component updates.

"By looking at this entry, this thing is originally integrated with the robot. If we take it away, it will have no effect."

Someone studied the explanation on the entry and drew a conclusion.

The others, hearing this, looked at the entry and then nodded, realizing this was indeed accurate according to the entry's description.

Everything on the robot needed to be in sync with the robot to work effectively; once dismantled, it would naturally lose its effect.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually some fine conduits on the surface, connected to the robot's body.

They themselves didn't have such conduits or the corresponding ports, so wanting to harness this thing's function was truly impossible.

In this way, it's quite a pity.

Having confirmed they couldn't use this thing, everyone stopped dwelling on it and started researching how to bypass this surface and directly strike the inside of the opponent.

They could tell that the thing was just formidable on the outside. If they could bypass this layer of defense, the robot would be easier to deal with.

With this in mind, a group immediately began discussing.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yingting sat to the side, staring at the robot, seemingly deep in thought.

When someone noticed Zhou Yingting hadn't spoken for a while, they glanced over in curiosity and asked.

"What's wrong? Is there something off?"

The man sitting next to Zhou Yingting asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and said, "When we came in, Xiao Yuzhu said that people in this instance chose mechanical ascension to escape the negative effects of the entries, right?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

The people around all looked over, puzzled, asking Zhou Yingting.

"Now, in front of us is an entry robot. So, isn't this entry robot originally one of the people from this instance?"

Zhou Yingting's words prompted everyone to ponder, but soon someone shook their head and said.

"Who knows, Xiao Yuzhu only mentioned that the natives of this instance uploaded their consciousness to the brain, right? Their consciousness might be in the brain, not in the entry robot."

Someone thought for a moment and replied.

Actually, whether the entry robot was a native or not, it didn't matter much.

Regardless, they still had to complete their task.

This matter wasn't worth agonizing over.

"These entry robots didn't show human-like intelligence nor attempted to communicate with us during combat."

Not far away, Xiao Yuzhu explained after hearing Zhou Yingting, and then continued bandaging the injured nearby.

So, were these entry robots not the natives?

Zhou Yingting mused inwardly upon hearing this.

There was neither any communication nor display of human-like intelligence.

From what was said, these entry robots didn't seem like native consciousnesses transferred to machines.

"You all say, if the natives could transfer their consciousness into these robots, could their learned entries follow into the robot?"

"And what about their own attributes, could they transfer into the robot?"

Everyone hearing Zhou Yingting felt their minds momentarily blank, then shook their heads repeatedly.

"Who knows, none of us have ascended mechanically."

"If it's possible, then the robot would be formidable, but I'm not willing to ascend mechanically."

"Me neither, look at the robot's entry description, it's one thing to ignore pain, but it lacks taste and touch, how can that be acceptable."

"I feel becoming a robot basically extinguishes human desires."

On careful thought, none of them is willing to become a robot.

There are just too many downsides to becoming a robot.

Zhou Yingting silently sat aside. Since they all said so, Zhou Yingting did not dwell on this matter.

Once everyone thoroughly studied the entry robot, the sun in the distance was slowly setting.

The crowd simply ate a little, arranged for a few to take watch in turns, and the others began to rest.

...

The following day.

Upon waking, Zhou Yingting and the others started preparing their portable gear, ensuring nothing was amiss, then ate briefly.

Then they set off directly.

According to last night's discussion, today they plan to head to a place with few entry robots for practice.

"Did you all remember what I talked to you about yesterday?"

Xiao Yuzhu walked ahead, turning her head as she spoke.

It was her first time here, the leading person was someone who had escorted them yesterday.

The person was quite familiar with the instance.

"We seem to understand the robots' weaknesses, but knowing them and executing them might be different when it comes to action."

Everyone nodded in response, speaking up.

Xiao Yuzhu acknowledged this; those words were indeed correct.

Previously, club members didn't know these robots' weaknesses, resulting in a tragic outcome when surrounded by entry robots.

This current group must avoid mishaps; if issues continue, the consequences would be grave.

This is their only reserve force.

The group journeyed for about half a day, finally reaching their destination.

From the hillside looking down, the bottom seemed to be a factory.

As per Xiao Yuzhu's prior information, this below was indeed a factory, which produced some components for entry robots.

"It's right below."

Wang Xin locked his gaze on the factory below, then spoke, "Based on what we know, there should be ten entry robots inside the factory."

"Ten entry robots?"

Everyone looked at their own group and felt, with just ten, that it was manageable.

But just then, Zhou Yingting gazed at the robots below and said puzzledly, "Why do the robots below seem like more than just ten?"

"What?"

Wang Xin was startled by this and quickly shifted his gaze downward.

Upon clearly seeing the scene below, his face changed abruptly.

Down in the factory, shadowy entry robots were moving back and forth, and at a glance, more than ten entry robots could be seen.

That's what's visible, but it's unknown how many unseen entry robots are inside the factory.

Witnessing this, Wang Xin was momentarily stunned, then frowned.

"How come there are suddenly so many robots? Previously when we eliminated the entry robots here, no new entry robots supplemented for a long time?"

Wang Xin stared at the robots below, utterly perplexed.

Others, hearing this, also looked down and saw quite a few entry robots.

Seeing this, their expressions shifted.

"What do we do next?"

Others turned to Wang Xin, now considering him as their leader.

Since he was the most familiar with the place.
