[Materials Obtained: 5 Green Rotten Wing Scales]
[Item Obtained: Blood Crystal (Blue) *1]
【Blood Fiend Crystal: A crystal containing pure blood fiend power, which can be used to refine special pills or enhance bloodline skills. It can also be absorbed directly, but one must bear the risk of being corroded by fiend energy】
"A good harvest."
Lu Qingfeng put the items into his backpack.
At this moment, the integrated network notification sounded again.

Item Description: A vacuum cleaner from an unknown civilization, with the words "AL-1S" engraved on its bottom when it was unearthed.
Item Function: Cleaning
P.S.: Bro, which game's dungeon rewards include a robot vacuum cleaner? (Trying not to laugh) — A random passerby
PS: You're already crying – the last words of a passing ant.
[Dungeon teleportation is about to begin...]
The scene before my eyes began to blur.
Lu Qingfeng took one last look at the bloody cave before his figure gradually disappeared.
[Teleportation complete...]
…………
With a twisting wave, Lu Qingfeng returned to his loyal present world.
After bringing out his old friend, the rattan chair, he lay down on it and began to take stock of what he had gained from this dungeon run.
The most important thing is the three skill points that will be obtained; I'll add them up after this is over.
The experience is alright, and the disaster coins are enough to replenish some pills. The materials... are quite useful.
besides……
Lu Qingfeng ran his fingertip over the item description, his gaze lingering on the [Blood Fiend Crystal] for a moment longer. "This thing has too much fiendish energy. Absorbing it directly is too risky. I'll keep it for now. Maybe I'll be able to use it for refining or trading in the future."
As for that [fully automatic sweeping robot]...
Lu Qingfeng wanted to loudly rebuke the network for swallowing his reward, but after thinking about it, he took it out of his backpack instead.
It was a silver-white, disc-shaped mechanical device, about thirty centimeters in diameter and less than ten centimeters thick, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and the tiny inscription "AL-1S" engraved on the bottom.
It lay quietly on the ground, showing no signs of starting, and looked like a slightly more sophisticated metal disc.
"It really is a robot vacuum cleaner..." He squatted down and poked its shell with his finger. It felt cold and hard. "Giving out this thing as a dungeon reward? Did the budget for the online game get embezzled, so they can only give me this stuff to fool me?"
Despite his complaints, Lu Qingfeng still tried to inject a trace of his vital energy into it.
hum-
A pale blue halo instantly lit up the robot's surface, and then three small hovering wheels unfolded from the bottom, silently lifting it about half a centimeter off the ground.
A gentle electronic voice came from inside:
"AL-1S starting up... Environmental scan complete. Cleaning mode is ready, please set the working area."
"It actually works?" Lu Qingfeng let out a strange "Oh my!" "Then... let's clean up the backyard."
"Command received, begin cleaning task."
The AL-1S spun around lightly, and several imperceptible beams of adsorption light emerged from its bottom. Wherever it passed, fallen leaves and dust on the ground were quickly sucked into its internal storage space.
Its movement was efficient and quiet, leaving no corner or crevice untouched. In just a few minutes, the blue brick floor of the backyard was cleaned until it was spotless.
"Interesting..." Lu Qingfeng stroked his chin, looking at this creation of an unknown civilization. "Although it's not helpful in combat, it saves a lot of trouble with daily maintenance. From now on, we can leave the bookstore's cleaning to it."
"But that would reduce the bookstore's cleaning workload. Should we cut Jolyne's salary a bit?"
He told AL-1S to continue working, while he went to sit down in the wicker chair and began to take stock of the overall gains from this raid.
The experience points pushed his level experience bar forward a little, but he plans to hold onto his level for now and doesn't intend to level up. He'll wait and see.
Although the income from disaster currency wasn't substantial, combined with previous savings, it was enough to purchase another batch of cultivation supplies.
In terms of materials, both the Heart of the Earth Dragon and the Corrupted Wing Scales are good forging or refining materials, especially the Heart of the Earth Dragon, which contains rich blood energy and earth vein energy, and may be used to further enhance the Blood Resonance property of the Chongyue Sword.
The Blood Fiend Crystal, however, needs to be handled with care. While the fiendish energy can amplify attacks, it can also easily erode the mind. It is best to seal it away temporarily.
"I should be able to relax a bit over the next few days..."
"I need to practice the new breathing technique I just learned, and keep taking the medicine I just bought. I hope everything will be alright, Amen!"
Just as Lu Qingfeng was thinking, Xu Lun's voice came from the front hall: "Brother Lu! Are you done with your work? I'm starving!"
"Here it comes." He stood up, put the AL-1S back into his backpack. It wasn't appropriate to explain this to others yet. He turned and walked into the bookstore.
"What are we having for dinner tonight? I bought some braised vegetables!"
"I forgot to cook, so I'll just have braised vegetables."
…………
After dinner, Jolyne cleared the dishes and went home, and the bookstore returned to its quiet state.
Lu Qingfeng didn't rush to rest. He returned to the backyard, summoned the AL-1S again, and watched it quietly hovering in the corner, waiting. Suddenly, something occurred to him:
"Does this broken robot vacuum cleaner even need to handle waste?"
He did just that. He lifted the robot vacuum cleaner and searched through the inlet, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the outlet. He even picked it up and shook it a couple of times, but nothing fell out.
"Wow, is this a two-dimensional space?"
"The technology of an unknown civilization... surely they wouldn't even have space compression technology embedded in their waste disposal?"
Lu Qingfeng tried to inject another wisp of blood and qi, this time with the intention of probing.
hum-
The blue light on the surface of the AL-1S rippled slightly, and a soft but flat electronic voice announced: "Energy replenishment appreciated. Current storage space occupancy: 2.1%. Cleaning unit self-test normal, matter decomposition furnace operating efficiency: 100%."
"A matter decomposition furnace?" Lu Qingfeng was taken aback. "You mean you directly decompose the dust and leaves you suck in?"
"Yes," AL-1S replied calmly. "This machine is equipped with a miniature, high-efficiency material decomposition furnace, which can decompose most organic and inorganic waste into basic particles to maintain the machine's basic energy cycle or for harmless emissions. There is no need to manually clean the waste bin."
"Good heavens, isn't this just a low-budget version of a perpetual motion machine? As long as there's still trash, it can keep spinning?"
"What if I sold you to a research institute? How much could I get for that?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but there's an upper limit to the decomposition and conversion efficiency, and this machine mainly relies on external initial energy to start up and maintain core components, so it's not recommended to use it for a long time."
"Based on the machine's scan of its surroundings, the current level of civilization in this plane is low, and it is not recommended to hand over this machine."
"Even if it's just a robot vacuum cleaner, it's enough," Lu Qingfeng said with satisfaction. He was definitely joking about handing it over; he figured he'd probably run into trouble later. Only an idiot would hand it over.
"But it's too troublesome to call you by your code name every time."
"How about this, I'll call you Alice."
