Chapter 6 Summoning Gold-eating Ants (Please recommend, collect.)
"After absorbing, get 0.3 points of metal ability."

An extremely mechanical voice came from Yang Ming's mind. Hearing this, Yang Ming closed his eyes and entered the Metal Heart interface. Sure enough, the metal ability value originally displayed as zero has now become 0.3.

"Haha, three or four kilograms of scrap iron is gone like this? It has only been converted into a metal ability value of 0.3. Even if it is sold for scrap iron, it can probably be sold for about [-] cents."

Yang Ming thought about it depressingly, but he couldn't resist his curiosity about this mysterious thing. He saw that he could summon a mechanical life form of gold-eating ants with only a little metal ability value. He didn't know what this mechanical life form was What the hell.

Yang Ming rummaged around in his room. Although there were some metal objects, they were all bought with money. If he could absorb them all, he would lose a lot of money.

Yang Ming seemed to remember that there was an old-fashioned bicycle with beams in the storage room that had been abandoned for many years. It had been kept in the storage room for many years without being touched. I don't know if it was sold by parents as scrap iron.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming got up and went out and asked his mother for the key to the storage room. When he opened the door of the storage room and saw that the old bicycle was still lying in the corner of the storage room, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Yang Ming looked around and no one closed the door of the storage room with his backhand. He cleaned up the mess and pulled out the still dilapidated car frame.

"Metal found, is it absorbed?"

When Yang Ming touched the frame with his hand, a notification sound followed.

"absorb!"

Yang Ming said softly without hesitation.

I saw the worn-out frame quickly turning into gray airflow and pouring into Yang Ming's body. In less than 3 minutes, the worn-out frame completely disappeared, leaving only some non-metal parts scattered on the ground. superior.

"The absorption is complete, and the metal ability value is 3.4."

After the absorption was complete, such words came from his mind. Yang Ming closed his eyes and checked the metal heart. The original metal ability value of 0.3 was changed to 3.7.

"Now I can finally see what that mechanical life is."

Yang Ming cleaned the battlefield to cover up the traces, locked the door and returned to his room.

"Son, what are you doing, you are so mysterious?"

Yang Ming's mother had always felt that something was wrong with her son after he came back, so she couldn't help asking.

"Mom, I didn't do anything. I was a little dizzy and fell asleep for a while. Remember to call me when you have dinner."

Yang Ming shouted in the room.

"This child is mysterious. Could it be that he is talking about a girlfriend?"

When Yang Ming's mother thought of this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she continued to sweep the ground, but at this moment, she was wondering what the girl who might be her future daughter-in-law looked like.

Yang Ming sat down in front of the desk, closed his eyes again and confirmed that his metal ability value was enough to summon the mechanical life form of gold-eating ants.

"Summon gold-eating ants."

Yang Ming didn't know how to summon this thing, so he tentatively called out in a low voice, almost silently in his heart.

"Please indicate the number of summons."

That cold voice still appeared in Yang Ming's mind.

"Summon one."

Yang Ming heard the prompt and added.

"The current metal ability value meets the summoning requirements, and the summoning is successful."

As the prompt sounded in Yang Ming's mind, a tiny black light flashed in front of Yang Ming's eyes. After the light disappeared, a black ant about two centimeters long appeared on the desk. From a distance, the black ant is not much different from the ants crawling on the ground, but if you get closer, you can see that the entire body of the ant is made of mechanical metal, especially the head, The connection between the three body structures of the chest and abdomen is relatively obvious, and the front end of the body has a molar tooth that is extremely huge compared to its body, like two guillotines.

At this moment, the tentacles on the top of the gold-eating ant's head swayed slightly, as if waiting for Yang Ming's next instruction.

"Since this mechanical life is called a gold-eating ant, it must be able to devour metal."

Thinking in his mind, Yang Ming took out a small stainless steel spoon from the teacup and put it on the table.

"Give me the spoon to swallow."

Yang Ming gave an order to the gold-eating ant on the table. After receiving Yang Ming's order, the tentacles on the top of the gold-eating ant's head swayed twice, and then walked towards the stainless steel spoon. , the extremely hard stainless steel spoon was swallowed by the gold-eating ants like eating tofu, and the whole process took just over a minute.

"After devouring, get a metal ability value of 0.01."

After the gold-devouring ant swallowed the whole spoon, a reminder sounded in his mind again. What Yang Ming didn't expect was that after the gold-eating ant swallowed the metal, it could also increase his metal ability value.

"This thing can't reflect its horror even if it's just one. What will it be like when I summon thousands of gold-eating ants after my metal ability increases?"

Thinking of this, Yang Ming felt as if the blood in his body was boiling. He could vaguely feel that his life was changing because of the appearance of this metal heart.

"Why did I suddenly acquire such a strange ability? I don't have any memory of where I went in the past few months when I disappeared. Could it be that I was captured by aliens for experiments? What the hell is this metal heart?"

Yang Ming took off his shirt and looked at the position of his heart. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. But when he looked carefully at this moment, he was shocked, because at the position of his heart, there was a very weak ring. There was a mark like a red line, and it felt as if someone had taken out my heart and replaced it with a new one. Now the wound has healed, leaving only an imperceptible mark. This mark may not be visible in a few days. It's completely undetectable.

"It's really fucking evil."

Yang Ming only felt a lot of cold sweat on his forehead. He put his hand on his heart. Fortunately, he felt the beating of his heart.

"Fortunately, my heart is still beating, otherwise I wouldn't be regarded as a monster."

Yang Ming said to himself, but at the moment he was thinking about a problem, that is, all the abilities of this metal heart must depend on the metal ability value, and the metal ability value must be obtained by absorbing metals. Where can I find so much metal?

And based on the two times he absorbed the metal, he roughly concluded that one kilogram of scrap metal can be converted into 0.1 points of metal ability value after absorption. In other words, summoning a gold-eating ant requires about ten kilograms of metal, and It takes 100 metal ability points to upgrade the first-level metal heart to the second level, which means that you need to absorb 1000 kilograms of metal. This ton of metal does not sound like too much, but it does not seem to be easy to obtain.
