This sounded unbelievable, as it was likely that nine out of ten of the Target Students entering this Training Base hailed from the noble class of Mechanical City, with prestigious backgrounds that were beyond words. How could they lower their status like this in everyday life?
However, it seemed that the upcoming Year-End Exam was the reason behind this. This was a real environment assessment, one that could be deadly, especially since they could only obtain some basic materials from the outside world. Therefore, they couldn't care less about appearances; they needed to seize the moment to purchase materials and equipment that could enhance their abilities or engage in important assembly tasks. This was the true reason for the bustling atmosphere here.
At this moment, Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry to head to the front platform to buy materials. Instead, he strolled around carefully, checking out the items for sale at these stalls.
The vendors and wanderers here ranged from E1 to E7 levels, representing nearly every tier of Target Students. The variety of items for sale or trade was vast, but there was one commonality: Mission Points were the most valuable currency.
Almost all the stall owners needed Mission Points, clearly related to the regulations of the Training Base. They had to use Mission Points to purchase various legal supplies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' warehouse.
However, there were hardly any buyers for Advanced Points; in fact, many were selling Advanced Points. This left Lin Yuan feeling quite frustrated. It seemed his initial thoughts were somewhat misguided since Advanced Points held little allure in this Year-End Exam. Nevertheless, even so, the exchange rate for Advanced Points was astonishing. Normally, one point of Advanced Points could be exchanged for zero Mission Points, but even in this bear market, it still took only 400 Mission Points to exchange for one point.
Lin Yuan even considered that if he had enough Mission Points on hand, he could hoard supplies at this time. But therein lay the problem: this was the Year-End Exam—a life-and-death situation—where no one could guarantee their survival. Thus, it was still necessary to prepare with Mission Points.
After wandering back and forth several times, Lin Yuan ultimately decided that his few Advanced Points would have to be kept unless he was willing to sell them at an extremely low price of either Mission Points or 00 Mission Points. But that wouldn't be worth it.
As for finding more ways to acquire Mission Points, Lin Yuan had not discovered any until he was about to give up when something at a stall caught his attention, prompting him to walk over.
Of course, it wasn't anything particularly special. Given the Training Base's frustrating review system, neither Lin Yuan nor anyone else could trade even their most precious items if they possessed them. After all, how could he part with treasures from his Five-Dimensional Key Space?
Thus, what was sold at these stalls were mostly ordinary and mundane items; good things were kept for oneself.
However, what Lin Yuan saw at that moment was different. He sensed a faint trace of Meta-Magnetic Waves emanating from it.
The stall owner was an E4-level Mechanical Warrior, specializing in Long-Range Sniping. Of course, it was hard to judge, as he might possess even more terrifying specialties. His stall displayed around fifty to sixty items, half of which were miscellaneous materials, while the other half consisted of Mechanical Parts and some protective potions he had concocted.
"Hello, what do you need?"
Seeing Lin Yuan approach, the E4-level Mechanical Warrior asked casually. For someone of his level, a target student at E1 was a big customer since higher-level target students would likely not be interested in his wares.
"Yes, may I ask what this is? It looks interesting." Lin Yuan picked up a Mechanical Part roughly the size of a coconut. From its appearance, it resembled an old clock, crafted with decent assembly skills that hinted at a master's touch. However, even so, its value wouldn't be high; otherwise, it would have passed inspection and been placed elsewhere.
Lin Yuan's curiosity was piqued solely by the faint Meta-Magnetic Waves emanating from it.
"Oh? You have a good eye. You can call me by my code name, Yellow Goat. This is a Heavy Iron Magnetic Detector. You know about Heavy Iron Magnetism, right? It's a rather precious material and energy source with significant applications. However, Heavy Iron Magnetism mines are hard to find in the universe. This detector can sense the fluctuations of Heavy Iron Magnetism. Although its effectiveness is minimal, it's still quite good, isn't it? Perhaps one day you could gain fame through this device. If you discover a Heavy Iron Magnetism mine and contribute it to the Empire, you could at least earn a Marquis title and enjoy 15% of the profits. Isn't that wonderful? But all of this requires this detector; it's like a key to unlock treasure. Right now, I only need 100 Mission Points for it, and then this future treasure will be yours."
The E4-level Mechanical Warrior enthusiastically introduced the item to Lin Yuan, who found it amusing. However, 100 Mission Points was indeed very cheap, so he bought it without hesitation.
Of course, he wasn't interested in the so-called key to unlock Alibaba and the Forty Thieves' treasure; what truly intrigued him was the assembly craftsmanship of the detector. He believed that if he could successfully disassemble it, its value would far exceed what that guy had claimed.
The Mechanical Warrior named Yellow Goat didn't expect Lin Yuan to be so decisive and immediately began recommending other items enthusiastically. However, Lin Yuan politely declined and left.
Afterward, Lin Yuan wandered around for a while longer and purchased some parts for assembling shotguns at an extremely low price from several stalls. He intended to redesign his Devourer into a Mechanical Tail shotgun; after all, having an additional attack method was always beneficial.
Of course, to redesign the shotgun, specially made shells were necessary. However, although the special shells sold at these stalls were powerful, they were also incredibly expensive. Even the most ordinary shell required 5 Mission Points for just one; this was quite unusual since even close-combat Mechanical Warriors couldn't resist such temptation!
More importantly, shotguns varied in caliber depending on their modification plans; custom orders were often the best option. Thus, Lin Yuan had no choice but to give up on that idea for now. (To be continued...)
