The sudden appearance of the situation startled Lin Yuan for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He glanced at the figure with the codename "Crow" and coldly said, "I don't care what you are. If you have the ability, hack in again."
Without giving the Crow a chance to respond, Lin Yuan slammed his fist onto the information control panel of the Main Control Center, directly destroying the hardware. Without the hardware, even the most sophisticated software intrusion would be useless.
As for threats, it was laughable—did he really think he would be afraid?
He had anticipated this situation long ago. The quality of the Azure Light Dagger was not high; it could only be considered the lowest tier among Blue Light Weapons. Therefore, it was impossible to attract powerful beings like the Evil Dragon Leader. They would look down on such things; only those mercenaries with strength around e-Class, neither here nor there, would want to get their hands on it.
Of course, this was indeed a significant pressure, but so what?
Life always requires some pressure, whether external or internal—grinding and suffering, worries and sadness. It was like a being with black wings; although it was as annoying as a crow's cawing, once it flew by, all that remained was strength as solid as granite!
At this moment, Lin Yuan had never felt so calm. The sudden intrusion by the Crow filled him with a strong sense of crisis. It was undoubtedly because those hyena-like figures had grown impatient over the past three months. He didn't know how many greedy predators were watching his every move.
This immense pressure only fueled his fighting spirit further and made his thoughts clearer than ever before. The research on the Energy Conversion Generator, which had previously left him feeling overwhelmed and confused, now seemed to find its way out like a dam bursting—everything fell into place naturally!
Within his Intellect, vast amounts of data flowed continuously, including both the massive information Lin Yuan had summarized in the past and the virtual data from his experiments over the last three months.
These data moved through his Intellect like fast-forwarding a movie, yet every piece of information could not escape Lin Yuan's attention. In that endless sea of data, a hidden shortcut slowly surfaced—like a flash of inspiration that felt both miraculous and entirely reasonable.
Ultimately, this was thanks to the Crow; otherwise, Lin Yuan's chaotic thoughts would never have led to such an idea.
At this moment, suppressing his inner excitement, Lin Yuan immediately began to conduct virtual deductions based on this flash of insight. His Mechanical Arms spun and transformed like lightning, creating dazzling afterimages that were almost impossible to track.
With this rapid deduction method under his Mechanical Arms' control modifications, new and old complex parts were continuously selected for quick assembly and elimination!
Never before had Lin Yuan felt such confidence. It was like facing an ultimate life-and-death battle against an overwhelmingly powerful opponent that seemed nearly unbeatable—but he was determined to achieve a perfect victory! A miracle was about to be born beneath his feet!
Just three hours later, a completely reassembled Energy Conversion Matrix emerged from Lin Yuan's Mechanical Arms as if it had come into existence from nothing.
This had nothing to do with time; in fact, he had already thoroughly researched the Energy Conversion Matrix generator over the past three months—the only thing missing was that flash of inspiration.
There was no need for testing; in an instant, multiple pieces of information appeared as expected—this was the greatest affirmation.

"Beep! Your Intelligence Level has increased by 80 percentage points, enhancing the integration of Intellect with Mechanical Body by 80 percentage points."
...
This series of notifications finally allowed Lin Yuan to exhale deeply. Damn, that was not easy. If that damned crow knew that his appearance had helped him break through a critical bottleneck, he wouldn't know what to think.
This breakthrough was more than just a minor change; for Lin Yuan, it was nothing short of revolutionary!
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan chose to donate his unique insights on the Energy Conversion Generator Matrix to Mechanical City. He understood that this was akin to a patent, but his innovation was too insignificant to be rated higher than f1. Nevertheless, the rewards were substantial: Five Modification Points, fifty Merit Points, and Three Million Mechanical Coins, all of which he desperately needed!
As for announcing this information, he decided against it; instead, the prospect of becoming an apprentice member of the Mechanical Assembly Master Association intrigued him.
"Beep! You have chosen to donate. You will receive Five Modification Points, fifty Merit Points, Three Million Mechanical Coins, and the status of an apprentice member of the Mechanical Assembly Master Association. Additionally, as a token of gratitude for your support in the infrastructure of Mechanical City, you will gain 1 point of Invisible Reputation in Mechanical City. This reputation is classified as S-Class. One point of reputation can be exchanged for five million Mechanical Coins or one Modification Point."
...
"Beep! You have chosen not to name your creation and have received an additional 10 points of reputation with the Mechanical Assembly Master Association. This reputation can be accumulated to enhance your qualifications or used for discounts on various materials in the association's Trading Platform."
"Beep! Your donation has been successful. The r-a8 Energy Conversion Generator Matrix has been updated successfully. The specific parameters are eight linked units with a fusion reaction, capable of converting a maximum peak value of 0 units of Standard Energy per second, with an average conversion rate of 100 Standard Energy. It features twelve conversion standards and six major standard interfaces, suitable for powering various external equipment such as the Energy Sniper Cannon, long-range energy Sniper Rifle, energy storm flow, Energy Shield, and the Ion Laser Sword. Note that this Energy Conversion Generator Matrix requires a separate support from an Energy Engine."
...
Awesome!
Lin Yuan silently cheered within himself. The r-a8 model of the Energy Conversion Generator Matrix he assembled had only seen a 15% overall quality improvement, but it was already astonishing. Most importantly, due to his modifications, three additional standard interfaces were added, and the maximum conversion peak had exceeded the original 400 units per second, fully meeting his usage requirements.
Without further ado, Lin Yuan immediately began installing this Energy Conversion Generator onto his Mechanical Body. Originally, it could only connect with the Energy Shield, but now it could output power to at least five types of external equipment simultaneously.
This undoubtedly required him to revise his original modification plans for his Mechanical Body, but he didn't need to overthink it.
After carefully reviewing the design, his latest concept for the shape of his Mechanical Body was finalized.
The focus of this change was on the torso and four Mechanical Arms, so there were no alterations made to the two Mechanical Legs. However, there were significant changes to the upper body.
First and foremost, considering the primary form, the Second Form, and the installation of the Energy Conversion Generator, he would need at least three or even four powerful Energy Engines. Without them, it would be impossible to support that r-a8 Energy Converter.
He also planned to install two Energy Shields, along with a Dual Wing Shield, creating a triple layer of protection with energy defense, physical defense, and additional energy shielding.
Finally, he aimed to assemble a super-damaging Energy Sniper Rifle, which required leaving space in the torso. In short, once the modifications were complete, his entire Mechanical Body would undergo a significant transformation.
After finishing the current assembly, Lin Yuan tidied up and finally left the Mousetrap Three Tank. He needed to go out and purchase some important Parts for assembling the Energy Engine. Fortunately, he had recently acquired Three Million Mechanical Coins; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.
As soon as he appeared in the Assembly and Repair Center, three extremely stern notifications entered his Intellect. Clearly, the Kangaroo and Crow had already begun their actions.
“Beep! g-715 Sub-base identity verification notification. Please proceed to Sub-base B Zone Central Intelligence for identity verification within three days. g-715 Sub-base will provide all Mercenaries with permanent free basic services, but this does not apply to exiled laborers, fugitives, rebels, insurgents, or those marked for extermination. You have been reported for not having obtained formal Mercenary status.”
……
“Beep! You failed to proactively go to b Zone Central Intelligence for identity verification within three days. According to Mechanical City laws and regulations, you will be considered to have waived your opportunity for automatic appeal. The report is now valid, and the penalty is as follows: one Yellow Warning. Please obtain Mercenary qualifications within fifteen days or apply to be a resident miner at g-715 Sub-base; otherwise, you will face new penalties.”
……
“Beep! You failed to obtain Mercenary qualifications within fifteen days or apply to be a resident miner at g-715 Sub-base. Your attitude is extremely poor. According to Mechanical City laws and regulations, g-715 Sub-base will impose further penalties on you: one Yellow Warning. g-715 Sub-base Central Intelligence has listed you as a preliminary undesirable individual. You must obtain formal Mercenary qualifications within thirty-five days or apply to be a resident miner at g-715 Sub-base; otherwise, you will receive a third Yellow Warning, and g-715 Sub-base will proceed with ground expulsion!”
……(To be continued.)
