Chapter 316 If I Were a DJ
Buck lay on the edge of the charred crater, peering down with half his body out.
He rubbed his eyes and slapped his cheeks hard, looking completely bewildered.
"Sir, this is impossible." Buck swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
"I've worked here for decades. I know every single mine tunnel and every abandoned ventilation shaft like the back of my hand."
"Beneath the reactor in the power room is a solid vein of black iron ore; there is no underground passage whatsoever."
Chen You ignored Buck's shock.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and he opened his system inventory, his gaze fixed on the item called "Damaged Turntable Parts".
The edges of the prop were shimmering with a faint purple light.
Chen You instantly grasped the logic.
If a regular player manages to defeat this mutated mechanical boss in a team, they will only get regular equipment and materials.
However, he carried with him the quest clues and items given to him by the Lord of Cangxing City.
The system's judgment conditions were met, forcibly triggering the BOSS's core self-destruct mechanism, using the explosive force to blast open the path to the hidden map.
Chen You cursed inwardly.
Right now, my clone only has 1 point of health left and can't recover. What if some AOE attack comes and wipes it out?
Although there was no real loss, he still had to wait for the clone to do it again.
"Let's go." Chen You drew his Jade Emperor Sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the dark entrance.
Buck's legs buckled, and he knelt down on the ground.
"My lord! I have elderly parents and young children to support. This unknown area is definitely terrifying; going in would be suicide!"
With a flick of his wrist, Chen You sent a heavy bag of gold coins crashing onto the scorched earth in front of Buck.
"Scouting the way."
Chen You's voice was completely flat.
Buck glanced at the gold coins on the ground, then at the Jade Emperor Sword emanating a chilling aura in Chen You's hand.
He quickly grabbed the money bag and stuffed it into his pocket, then stood up deftly: "It is the greatest honor of my life to serve you, sir."
Buck pulled a glow stick from his waist, broke it in half, and threw it into the pit.
The glow sticks tumbled in the air, illuminating the metal walls of the passageway.
After falling about twenty meters, the glow stick landed on a metal grid floor with a crisp sound.
"Highly safe, sir." Buck jumped down first.
Chen You followed closely behind.
The metal mesh echoed dully as my feet touched the ground.
The passageway is not narrow; it is wide enough for two heavy trucks to pass side by side.
The walls on both sides are forged from an unknown black metal, with intricate patterns covering their surfaces.
As the two entered, the sensor system inside the passage seemed to be activated.
"Whoosh—"
Red and blue interwoven light strips lit up on both sides of the wall.
The light strip stretched forward, illuminating the entire passageway.
The light flickered at an extremely high frequency, with a strong cyberpunk style.
At the same time, a rhythmic, deep bass voice came from deep within the passageway.
"Thump—thump—thump—"
The sound was deep and muffled, with a strong penetrating power.
The metal mesh beneath Chen You's feet resonated in sync with the rhythm of the bass.
Buck covered his ears, his face pale. "Sir, it's that mental pollution again! What's up ahead is definitely more terrifying than the monster on the reactor!"
Chen You remained silent.
He assessed his own condition.
There was no loss of health, and no negative buffs appeared.
"Keep going, keep moving forward."
The two walked deeper into the neon-lit area.
The slope of the passage gradually descends, and the smell of engine oil in the air is replaced by a strange fragrance.
After walking for about five minutes, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
Chen You stopped and looked at the scene before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
At the end of the passage is a huge circular space with an area larger than a football field.
Dozens of huge spherical spotlights are suspended from the ceiling of the space.
Multicolored laser beams intertwined and cut through the air.
At the edge of the circular space, there is a semi-circular row of wooden chair booths.
In the center of the space is a huge sunken dance floor.
The dance floor floor is made of transparent reinforced glass panels, beneath which is a dense array of subwoofers.
There are no monsters.
There weren't even any NPCs.
This place feels like a fully equipped and luxuriously decorated underground nightclub.
Deafening electronic music echoed throughout the space, and spotlights flashed wildly in sync with the music.
Buck crouched next to the booth, trembling, with his hands covering his head.
He shouted with his eyes closed, "My lord! This is an illusion! It's definitely an illusion set up by a high-ranking demon! Don't be fooled by these illusions!"
Chen You ignored Buck's screams.
He carried his sword and walked down the steps to the dance floor.
The music kept playing on a loop.
It's a fast-paced heavy metal electronic track.
Chen You stood in the middle of the dance floor and listened for half a minute.
He couldn't help but frown.
Although he wasn't a musician and usually only listened to pop songs, he still noticed something unusual about the piece.
The rhythm of the music is not continuous.
At certain specific points, the bass may experience brief stuttering.
The synthesizer sound in the accompaniment crackles and breaks when it goes up to higher notes.
The whole piece sounds like an old, scratched vinyl record, with a distinct sense of incompleteness.
Chen You's gaze was fixed on the high platform directly in front of the dance floor.
There was a five-meter-long metal workbench there.
Chen You strode up to the high platform.
The control panel is covered with a dense array of pushers, knobs, and buttons.
The indicator lights on many buttons are off.
There is a square recess in the very center of the control panel.
The groove's edge is covered with metal contacts, and its interior emits a faint red light.
Chen You opened his backpack and took out the [damaged turntable part].
The size and shape of the parts fit the grooves perfectly.
It seems this is where it will be used.
He aligned the broken turntable part with the groove and pressed it down hard.
"Click".
The sound of perfectly meshing machinery rang out.
The moment the part came into contact with the groove, a blinding blue electric arc erupted.
The electric arc spread rapidly along the wiring of the control panel.
The indicator lights that were originally off lit up one by one.
"Buzz—"
The lights in the entire underground nightclub went out instantly.
The deafening, broken electronic music abruptly stopped.
In the darkness, only the center of the control panel emitted a faint blue light.
Buck let out a terrified scream from below.
Three seconds later.
Above the control panel, dozens of blue beams of light intertwined and projected.
A holographic projection slowly took shape in mid-air.
It was a humanoid image wearing an exaggerated reflective jacket and a huge mechanical helmet.
On the helmet's display screen, green sound wave frequencies were flashing.
The holographic projection raised its hand, holding an exaggerated microphone.
"Welcome to the Starry Night Carnival."
The raucous sounds echoed through the empty nightclub.
Immediately afterwards, a flawless and explosive new electronic track exploded into the air.
All the spotlights on the ceiling lit up, focusing on Chen You.
The green sound waves on the helmet pulsed violently.
"Let's hand the stage over to tonight's special guest DJ—Chen You!"
