Two minutes later, relying on his familiarity with the terrain and the various obstacles he had set up in advance, Lin Yuan finally entered the Underground Warehouse smoothly. However, the Mechanical Spider followed closely behind.
"Clatter!" Although the Mechanical Spider was not very large, it still struggled to navigate through the barrier at the corner of the stairs. Its eight legs could adapt to most terrains, but in such a narrow space filled with bicycles stacked closely together, it found itself at a disadvantage.
Especially since there were large holes all over this barrier, its eight legs would easily get stuck, making it difficult to maneuver. Of course, being a Mechanical Warrior, it only needed a minute to clear away this flimsy barrier.
However, Lin Yuan had deliberately lured it here, so how could he give it a chance to clear the way?
"Die! Bastard!" Lin Yuan immediately launched a counterattack. Using the momentum from his jump into the air, he struck with two Adjustable Wrenches like shooting stars, hitting the joints of the Mechanical Spider's legs simultaneously.
This was a strategy Lin Yuan came up with out of necessity. His attacks dealt only minor damage; even with the Double Jump Skill bonus, they would only inflict minimal damage unless he got lucky and landed a critical hit. But even that would only deal six points of damage. The Mechanical Spider's minimum damage was one point, and if luck was against him, he could even deal zero damage.
So he did not expect to completely take down this metal creature in a short time. As long as he could smash its leg joints, the immobilized Mechanical Spider would no longer be a threat!
This method of attack proved effective since joints were indeed its weakest points.
"Crack!" After Lin Yuan's two Adjustable Wrenches struck that joint five times in quick succession, a crisp sound echoed as the joint broke cleanly in two.
"Huff!" Without pausing for breath, Lin Yuan pressed down lightly with his Mechanical Arms on the ground and then jumped up. At the same time, he forcefully rotated his Mechanical Arms in a circular motion. Just as he flipped them to their highest point, using their downward momentum, he brought both Adjustable Wrenches crashing down onto another leg joint of the Mechanical Spider.
"Crack!" This time, Lin Yuan's attack unexpectedly produced a critical hit effect, effortlessly smashing that leg joint into two pieces.
However, by this time, the Mechanical Spider had nearly cleared away the bicycles piled up around it and began turning its head toward Lin Yuan.
Seeing this situation unfold, Lin Yuan dared not hesitate and quickly turned around the corner of the stairs to run toward another barrier.
But as he passed through the barrier and prepared for his second round of attack, he suddenly noticed that the Mechanical Spider had not followed him. Instead, it stood slowly on the stairs and opened its mouth to unleash a beam of red light that blasted away one-fifth of the entire barrier in an instant.
"What the hell!" Witnessing this scene left Lin Yuan utterly shocked. He never expected this metal creature to be so clever and devise a countermeasure so quickly. If it continued to blast away at barriers like this without restraint, his demise would be imminent.
In a moment of determination, Lin Yuan charged directly at the Mechanical Spider. After all, its attack had a ten-second cooldown, and in this narrow space, the outcome was still uncertain.
It seemed that the Mechanical Spider sensed Lin Yuan's intent and retreated several steps, curling up in the corner of the staircase. This way, no matter which direction Lin Yuan attacked from, it could retaliate, avoiding any harassment attacks from Lin Yuan's agile movements.
As a result, given Lin Yuan's low damage output, it was clear that he would be the first to fall.
The Mechanical Spider's almost shameless tactics left Lin Yuan feeling frustrated. If he fought, he would surely die; if he didn't fight, he would still end up dead.
"How frustrating!" Lin Yuan sighed inwardly but showed no signs of hesitation as he launched an attack on the Mechanical Spider. However, this time, without the barrier created by his bicycle, his two Adjustable Wrenches failed to hit the spider's leg joints.
"Damn spider! Even if I die, I’ll break a few of your legs!" Knowing his life was in danger, Lin Yuan threw caution to the wind and attacked the Mechanical Spider with a frenzied determination that felt like a last stand.
Just as the Mechanical Spider's attack cooldown reached its critical moment, a light beep echoed in his mind, and a piece of information appeared like a lifeline.
"Intellect and Mechanical Body fusion rate has reached %, meeting advancement requirements. You have become an F-Class Melee-Type Mechanical Warrior."
"Intellect upgraded by 0 percent. Reward: 4 Modification Points."
"…"
"F-Level? 4 Modification Points? Ha! I'm not dead yet!" Lin Yuan glanced at the message and quickly understood that this was due to his desperate struggle against death in their previous encounter. He had continuously pushed his Double Jump Skill beyond its limits, resulting in an 8 percent increase in the fusion rate of Intellect and Mechanical Body. In this critical moment, he successfully advanced to an F-Class Melee-Type Mechanical Warrior.
These thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind in an instant, and almost simultaneously, he devised a plan to defeat the Mechanical Spider.
With a spinning jump, Lin Yuan landed next to one of the severed legs of the Mechanical Spider. He immediately touched it with his right Mechanical Arm and without hesitation activated the enhancement for his right arm.
"Beep! Target for enhancement: Mechanical Arm. Original Enhancement Level: 045. Enhancement material: Alloy Steel. Enhancement Level: . Requirements met. Success rate: 95%. Entering enhancement countdown… 1! Enhancement successful! Enhancement Level: 1."
As a white light flashed, Lin Yuan's right Mechanical Arm underwent a significant transformation. The previously slender arm became streamlined and looked much more powerful, while the original Adjustable Wrench was replaced by a sharp conical tip.
The nearby Mechanical Spider seemed to realize what had just happened, and it immediately turned to flee.
However, Lin Yuan would not allow it to escape. After successfully advancing to F-Level, his movements became even more agile. With a few powerful jumps, he caught up to the Mechanical Spider. This time, instead of targeting its leg joints, he swung his right Mechanical Arm and plunged it forcefully into the creature's large abdomen.
"Thud!" The sharp spike penetrated effortlessly for several centimeters, inflicting 8 points of damage on the Mechanical Spider. But the attack did not end there; since the spike was integrated with Lin Yuan's Mechanical Arm, he used the opportunity to climb onto the back of the Mechanical Spider.
Such a prime opportunity was not one Lin Yuan would miss. Once he secured his position, the spike on his right Mechanical Arm began to stab repeatedly. In just two minutes, this Mechanical Spider that had nearly taken Lin Yuan's life was completely defeated.
"Hahaha!" Upon receiving the notification of the Mechanical Spider's demise, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh heartily in his mind. That battle had been incredibly thrilling; if he hadn't advanced to F-Level at the last moment, he might have found himself facing his own soul again.
However, it wasn't all just luck. If Lin Yuan hadn't been busy day in and day out without a moment's rest, how could he have increased his fusion rate from 1% to 6%?
"So! The early bird catches the worm! The lazy aren't necessarily happy!" Lin Yuan muttered to himself as he began to inspect his spoils. According to previous information, this fat spider had an energy level of 190! Even after some consumption, it was still a bountiful feast!
As his Mechanical Arm made contact with the Mechanical Spider's body, a series of notifications appeared.
"F1-level long-range reconnaissance Mechanical Warrior Wreckage detected. Would you like to view all attributes?"
"Energy absorption detected. Would you like to absorb?"
"F-Class Standard Laser Gun detected. Would you like to equip?"
"Mechanical Remains average Enhancement Level 45 detected. Can be used for enhancement; requires Modification Points and a certain amount of energy."
"Wow! I can actually view all attributes of my opponent! So this is what victors get as a reward—how fascinating! Let's check it out! I want to see how this fat spider differs from my Mechanical Warrior." Lin Yuan first absorbed the remaining 170 units of energy from the Mechanical Spider before starting to review its attributes.
"F1-level long-range reconnaissance Mechanical Warrior. Intelligence Level: Intellect and Mechanical Body fusion rate %."
"Health Points: 0/00, Energy: 0/00."
“Basic Attributes, Attack Power 45 (Weapon Attack 10), Defense Power 45, Enhancement Level 45, Movement Speed 5, Auditory Radar Level 1, Precision Coverage Range 100 meters, returning a three-dimensional projection every second.”
“Basic Skills, None. First, Eye of Insight (a non-upgradable skill) allows the user to view eighty percent of the attributes of targets at or below their own level; it is ineffective against targets above their level.”
“Basic Skills, None. Second, Precision Shot has a 5% chance to deal double damage to Target Enemy.”
“Combat Skills, None.”
After reviewing the attributes of the Mechanical Spider, Lin Yuan understood the general situation. Overall, this Mechanical Spider was not much different from himself; both possessed Intellect and required enhancement for upgrades. The difference lay in the skills—one was melee while the other was ranged.
If he had to pinpoint a unique difference, it would be that this Mechanical Spider was likely mass-produced, while he was a super knockoff.
However, one thing puzzled Lin Yuan. He had already encountered two Mechanical Warriors, which indicated that Mechanical Warriors were not rare in this world.
But why was his soul attached to a bicycle also referred to as a Mechanical Warrior? Furthermore, where did the information that appeared in his mind come from? If it were another Mechanical Warrior, it could be pre-programmed, but no one had set anything up for his soul!
“Ugh! This kind of terrifying reasoning problem is really beyond human thought. Forget it! After all, I’ve already died once; what else is there to fear? It’s more important to think about how to allocate the remaining three Modification Points!” Lin Yuan sighed inwardly and turned back toward the Underground Warehouse.
