"Cough, cough... So, a Sniper?"
Lin Yuan felt a bit skeptical; this was not scientific. Ever since his awakening, he had always relied on close combat and rarely used ranged attacks. How could this time, during the bloodline fusion, he lean so heavily towards the Sniper profession?
Take his newly generated Auditory Radar, for instance. At the third-level standard, it surprisingly reached the Secondary Vibration Standard. That was one thing; this Auditory Radar was akin to the human eye and ear, sensitive enough. However, what truly baffled him was that the mechanical bloodline trait he acquired was randomly generated as F-Level Precision—a characteristic that could only be fully utilized by a Sniper. Moreover, it could even enhance the Secondary Vibration Standard.
Combining these two factors meant he had already reached the Fourth-Level Vibration Standard! If he added the second branch title from his Ghost Title—Ghost Eye—he could achieve a Sixth-Level Tremor standard.
A sixth level!
This made Lin Yuan's heart race uncontrollably; he couldn't suppress it!
It wasn't that he was exaggerating; rather, he deeply understood what a Sixth-Level Tremor represented.
What is the Tremor standard? It is a universal sniper calculation method in the mechanical world—no, in the entire universe. It ranges from the simplest arc of a primitive man's thrown Bone Spear to an archer's aim in the cold weapon era, and then to considerations of ballistic trajectories, wind speed, humidity, gravity, and sniping techniques in the era of firearms. Ultimately, it can extend to higher levels. According to the standards of the Mechanical Empire, it means that a Sniper can accurately hit a target traveling at three thousand kilometers per hour from three hundred kilometers away while executing an S-shaped tactical evasion. This would be achieved with no more than 15 units of energy wave shielding activated on a mechanical fly's wing. Achieving this standard means that Sniper has reached a First-Level Tremor standard.
Such standards were unimaginable on Earth in the 21st century. However, the harsh reality is that what is called a First-Level Tremor standard within the Mechanical Empire is merely kindergarten-level standards. Forget about native Mechanical Warriors; even Puppet Bodies or those enslaved lives like Enhanced Humans could easily meet or evade this standard without breaking a sweat.
The Secondary Vibration Standard requires achieving double the difficulty of a First-Level Tremor standard to qualify. To be precise, this isn't particularly difficult; in Mechanical City, even civilian Mercenaries can reach the Secondary Vibration Standard with some effort.
However, standards above Level Three Oscillator become challenging. Not only do they require achieving double the Secondary Vibration Standard, but they also introduce additional difficulties such as Cosmic Rays interference, Energy Shield interference, Gravitational Field interference, tactical evasion interference, and armor-piercing parameters. Don’t underestimate these standards; they signify an elevation to another level.
The First-Level Tremor and Second-Level Tremor merely require consideration of whether one can hit or miss. As long as you hit, you win!
Yet within the Mechanical Empire, many formidable beings possess Defense Power that could be described as monstrous. In such cases, meeting the First-Level Tremor standard or Secondary Vibration Standard would barely scratch their defenses.
At this moment, the ability to break armor, to disable the Energy Shield, to evade the Gravitational Field's interference, and to perceive the opponent's tactical maneuvers are new requirements. Only by meeting these criteria can one be considered at the Level Three Oscillator standard.
The subsequent Fourth-Level Oscillation is similar to the Level Three Oscillator but even more extreme.
However, in the eyes of a sharpshooter, the so-called Fourth-Level Vibration Standard is merely a graduation, just the beginning.
The truly impressive standard is the Fifth-Level Tremor standard. This standard builds upon the Fourth-Level Oscillation by adding two criteria: Weak Point Locking and Tactical Derivation. Although it may seem like only two additional criteria, they are worlds apart from the Fourth-Level Oscillation. If a sniper's Fourth-Level Vibration Standard is about accuracy, penetration, and high damage, then the Fifth-Level Tremor standard is akin to foresight. It not only allows one to see an opponent's physical weaknesses at a glance but also enables rapid judgment of their next move for pre-calculation. This is an incredibly formidable ability. For instance, Lin Yuan once encountered the Crimson Fox, who was at the Fifth-Level Tremor standard. Later, during the Year-End Exam, Hurricane Thunder demonstrated a Sixth-Level Tremor standard. In their hands, a Sniper Rifle seemed almost alive.
This illustrates just how terrifying the Sixth-Level Tremor standard is!
But therein lies the problem: the Sixth-Level Tremor standard is merely a benchmark. It's akin to Lin Yuan's memories of university English exams; passing Level Six does not mean one can immediately converse fluently with foreigners. Of course, there are exceptions—some individuals grasp languages effortlessly—but most people who pass Level Six still require extensive oral practice and often need to live abroad for three to five years before they can express themselves fluently.
Lin Yuan now faces a similar dilemma. He indeed possesses the Sixth-Level Tremor standard, but if he believes he can perform at that level in sniping, he would be sorely mistaken. In reality, he can only reach the Fourth-Level Vibration Standard—just the basics. Achieving higher difficulty levels will require continuous training and at least a reasonably competent Sniper Rifle to barely approach the Sixth-Level Tremor standard. If he encounters a particularly skilled opponent, he would be left helpless. To reach Li Feidao's level of never missing a shot would require at least one hundred Mechanical Years of training and substantial battlefield experience!
Yet now, where does he have time for such endeavors?
Where could he find an exceptional Sniper Rifle?
Thus, it’s easy to imagine Lin Yuan's frustration at this moment; he would rather trade his Sixth-Level Tremor standard for advantages in close combat since that is where his true strength lies!
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yuan understood that things were as they were and could not be changed. At this point, he first negated the formatting and activation of his Intellect because his main Intellect, the a180 Punisher First Generation System, was currently dormant—he had no idea when it would awaken. However, according to Claire, this Original System seemed to be under her control, so all he needed was to wait patiently.
Now that he had fused with the F-Class Mechanical Bloodline, he had essentially become a standard Primitive Mechanical Warrior. Therefore, he should be able to complete a task he had previously left unfinished: dismantling that B1-class Energy Engine.
However, Lin Yuan did not act immediately. He first took a moment to observe the previous battle and found that it had long since ended. The Peace Council Base had not suffered much impact, and no one seemed to care about his presence. Claire remained silent, seemingly occupied with something else.
It seemed he truly was a pitifully weak ant!
With a self-deprecating smile in his heart, Lin Yuan focused his attention and slowly placed his first Second Mechanical Arm on the broken B1-level Energy Engine. As expected, a very peculiar sensation began to transmit through him. This feeling was faint, almost like an illusion, yet it was undeniably real. The reason for this was that Lin Yuan had now become a Primitive Mechanical Warrior, and the damaged Energy Engine was part of the Native Mechanical Body, creating a subtle connection between the two.
This situation was unimaginable for those who did not understand the context. It was similar to how, previously, if Claire had not reminded him, even if he had leveled up his Mechanical Assembly skill to level 100, he would have been unable to grasp its essence. It was simply two different matters. To put it simply, it was like a man placing his hands on a beautiful woman's body; he would certainly feel a lot—softness, elasticity, curvature, fullness, and so on. However, if he placed his hands on a rock, there would be absolutely no resonance.
Of course, at this moment, Lin Yuan would not have any thoughts about placing his Mechanical Arms on a beautiful woman; he was merely establishing a shaky bridge through this faint connection with the broken Energy Engine. It was rudimentary and fragile, but it was enough. Through this incredible bridge, Lin Yuan finally gained a preliminary understanding of the damaged Energy Engine. As his understanding deepened, his Mechanical Arms began to move and change slowly. Initially clumsy, they quickly became skilled and gentle.
A minute later, something bizarre happened. Lin Yuan found that he did not need any disassembly tools; with simple movements alone, he managed to detach an inconspicuous Part from the broken Energy Engine—an intact Part—completely different from the violent disassembly methods he had used before!
With the first Part removed came the second and third! More and more parts were coming off at an increasing speed and with growing proficiency!
Eventually, after one hour and fifty-two minutes, this B1-level Energy Engine that had taken Lin Yuan five or six months to deal with was perfectly disassembled so easily!
In comparison, it felt like a miracle!
However, Lin Yuan knew very well that things were not as complicated as they seemed; it was simply because he had become an Original Mechanical Warrior. Once he entered this Checkpoint, he naturally grasped its secrets. Of course, for any life form other than an Original Mechanical Warrior—even Puppet Body Mechanical Warriors—it would be utterly impossible to unravel these mysteries! (To be continued...)
