Three hours later, a strange and enormous machine stood in the air, assembled by Lin Yuan. From a distance, it resembled a hippo that had grown ten times its size—clumsy and bulky, lacking any distinctive features, making it immediately clear that it was nothing but junk.
"Lord Papaya, is this what you boastfully refer to as an efficient rock smelting machine? Should I take this as an insult to our intelligence? Is this the level of your so-called Level 1 Mechanical Assembly skill?"
At this moment, the Crimson Fox and the crows, along with other mercenaries responsible for mining, had already excavated a massive amount of ore, equivalent to a mountain. However, the smelting process had yet to begin, which undoubtedly left them feeling dissatisfied. One mercenary sarcastically remarked.
Even Bison and Thomas found it strange; it shouldn't be like this. From what they understood, Lin Yuan's assembly skills were not that poor. Was there something amiss?
Crimson Fox and the crows were also puzzled since they had witnessed Lin Yuan's assembly skills before.
However, Lin Yuan did not retort; instead, he spoke with embarrassment, "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. I couldn't assemble this smelting machine and ended up damaging a lot of parts. Although the machine is now assembled, its smelting efficiency will likely be reduced."
"What? Papaya, are you joking? Didn't you claim to have Level 1 Autonomous Assembly Skill? Are you playing with our lives here? Do you realize that the four hours you've wasted could put all of us in extreme danger? I suggest we hold a vote to revoke Papaya's Mechanical Assembly qualifications. He needs to pay for his mistakes and absurd boasting!"
Before Crimson Fox and the others could react, Anson, who was assembling the Energy Defense Matrix from a distance, rushed over in a fit of rage. He was understandably furious because they were trapped here with limited resources. Damaging one part could mean losing an entire segment. Previously intimidated by Crimson Fox's pressure, Anson had reluctantly agreed to let Lin Yuan keep ten Energy Engines to assemble Ore Smelting Machinery. In his view, Lin Yuan's assembly skills should have been adequate for such a task.
But who would have thought that Lin Yuan would mess things up so badly? What was that monstrosity? A hideous abomination? Even a random Mechanical Warrior would not be this incompetent after grasping the basic principles!
"Yes, Lord Anson, I have deeply realized my mistake. You are right; I should pay the price. Therefore, I request self-exile to build the outer fortress as a way to atone for my errors. Although I know it will never truly compensate for what I've done—thank you all!" Lin Yuan unexpectedly confessed and hurriedly left before Anson could respond, feeling guilty and flustered.
Anson took some time to comprehend what had happened but soon disregarded everything else and rushed to inspect the enormous, strange, ugly contraption that Lin Yuan had cobbled together as an Ore Smelting Machinery. But upon inspection, he was immediately infuriated because the machine was essentially worthless—having zero kinetic energy. Stupid, bloated, disgusting—none of these harsh words could adequately describe how terrible this machine was.
To make matters worse, while the ten Energy Engines were still intact, many crucial components inside them had already been damaged or outright lost.
"Dammit, dammit! How could I ever think that such a poorly assembled piece of junk could be compared to me!"
Anson cursed for a while, but in the current situation, he had no way to deal with Lin Yuan before all his plans were fully executed.
As for Crimson Fox and the others, although they also looked down on Lin Yuan's methods, they didn't intend to take his life.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, with Hal's assistance, silently disappeared from the Fortress Base. At this moment, even Sir K150 had no intention of doubting anything. After confirming Lin Yuan's shoddy assembly skills, he found him to be of no further use and regarded him as insignificant.
"Haha! Captain, your escape was beautifully executed. Anson's clone probably never expected that you had already stolen all the important parts while that strange machine continued to operate normally without raising any suspicion from Anson, the assembly expert. I'm curious how you managed to pull that off?"
Hal said with admiration. The machine Lin Yuan had assembled appeared to be garbage and ugly to those unaware of the truth, but for those in the know, it was a miracle—a true distinction between a master assembler and a mediocre one.
A true master can turn decay into wonder, while a mediocre assembler can only turn wonder into decay.
The value of the strange machine Lin Yuan assembled lay not in its potential performance but in its ability to deceive Anson. And it seemed that he had succeeded.
"Hey! Stop flattering me; our time is limited. Besides, I don't have much confidence. You need to return immediately and provide cover for me while keeping close communication. At the right moment, contact Crimson Fox and the others. By the way, these guys are no pushovers; we must be cautious. In short, it's wise to always have backup plans," Lin Yuan instructed quickly.
In the previous three hours, Hal had taken advantage of mining operations to locate the wreckage of the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter at Bison Base, which allowed Lin Yuan to slip away unnoticed.
"Understood, Captain. Just keep in mind that we're far from Fortress Base. If Zerg show up, we won't be able to support you in time."
Hal replied solemnly; their survival on RZ Planet depended entirely on Lin Yuan now.
"I understand, you all have heart!"
Lin Yuan immediately sent Hal away and turned to look at a cave behind him. Inside was the wreckage of the Pterosaur H-Strike Fighter. This was something he had not expected; he originally thought that the Pterosaur H-Tank had been destroyed here, but it turned out that it had been transported from somewhere else and hidden here.
However, it made sense. The news had come from Bison, who got it from Old Cucumber. It was likely that Old Cucumber had already done some work on this wreckage, perhaps even considering repairs and assembly. But unexpectedly, the enigmatic Punisher appeared, scaring off the trolls, Old Chris, and Old Cucumber in a hurry, leaving Lin Yuan and his group with the advantage.
