The moment Lin Yuan chose to exchange, his Intellect and Mechanical Body fusion rate skyrocketed to 9%, naturally elevating him to F5 level.
“Ding! Intellect and Mechanical Body fusion rate has reached 9%, meeting the requirements for the next advancement, evolving into an F5 level F-Class Melee and Ranged Hybrid Mechanical Warrior.”
“Intellect upgrade: 0 percentage points. Reward: 4 Modification Points. Auditory Radar upgraded to level 5, with a precise coverage distance of 0 meters, generating eight Three-Dimensional Projections per second.”
“Ding! Ranged Firearm Attacks proficiency increased. When using Ranged Attack firearms, Attack Power +%, Precision +%, Critical Damage Rate +%.”
“Ding! Melee Weapon Attack proficiency increased. When using melee attack weapons, Attack Power +1%, Hit Rate +1%, Critical Damage Rate +1%.”
“Current total Modification Points: 8.”
“Current Intelligence Level: 105, Civic Induction Transmission Rate: 005%.”
“Current Energy Engine: F1+.”
“Current titles: Apprentice Mechanical Assembly Technician, Pharmacist.”
“Current unfinished title: Filer, Kill Razor Beetle, 76/100.”
...
How wonderful!
Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. The reason he chose to exchange for the fusion rate to reach F5 level was that this upgrade would also enhance his Intelligence Level and Auditory Radar.
Now, his Main Audio-Visual Radar was even more perfect, covering a radius of five hundred meters. Coupled with eight Three-Dimensional Projections generated per second, this was the ideal combination for both melee and ranged combat, especially when capturing fast-moving objects, making it clearer and smoother.
Similarly, the changes in the Main Audio-Visual Radar would also strengthen the responsiveness of the Second Audio-Visual Radar. This wasn't just a simple increase in attributes; at critical moments, it could mean the difference between life and death.
However, Lin Yuan's good fortune didn't end there. Following the information about bloodline inheritance, two more pieces of information appeared.
“Ding! Detected Falcon Type 09 Battle Machine Energy Engine with 8% damage. This engine has been bound; binding rules take precedence, and you will not be able to inherit it.”
"Beep, internal storage items found in Energy Engine: fifteen F-Level Dark Magic Cores, three e-Class Dark Magic Cores, and one D-Class Dark Magic Core. Do you wish to collect them?"
"Beep, data collection for Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia in progress. Data generation ongoing. Dark Magic Core is a dark energy substance condensed within the bodies of the Dark Demon Race. It poses no threat, is non-polluting, and has super explosive capabilities. It can be utilized as a source of Fifth Generation Energy in the universe, with an efficiency 100 times that of Centrifugal Stone Ore. Currently, the military high command of Mechanical City has begun to explore the energy applications of Dark Magic Cores, which can be used to manufacture Dark Matter attack weapons. The Dark Magic Core is classified as an a5-level standard material officially acquired by Mechanical City. The official purchase price for a standard F-Level Dark Magic Core is 1 million Mechanical Coins, five Merit Points, and 500 Mission Points. For a standard e-Class Dark Magic Core, the official purchase price is 10 million Mechanical Coins, fifty Merit Points, and 5,000 Mission Points. For a standard D-Class Dark Magic Core, the official purchase price is 100 million Mechanical Coins, five hundred Merit Points, and 50,000 Mission Points."
"Attention: Anyone daring to smuggle, steal, or covet the Dark Magic Cores will face the harshest penalties from Mechanical City and will be regarded as a traitor! Kill on sight!"
...
"Dammit! How can this be so unfair?"
Lin Yuan had barely had time to rejoice when the last message felt like a bucket of cold water splashed onto his boiling heart. Damn it! Damn it! Strictly smuggling? Strictly my ass! What am I supposed to do now? Is it really necessary to hide this pie that just fell from the sky so obediently?
He was certain that if he simply took this Dark Magic Core to sell it, he would definitely be identified as having obtained it through smuggling or outright theft!
When asked by Mechanical City how he acquired it, what could he say? Even if he told the truth, no one would believe him!
Moreover, what was worse was that he didn't even dare to sell this Dark Magic Core through smuggling channels because, aside from the harsh laws of Mechanical City, those smugglers might get greedy—oh no, they would definitely turn on each other. With his current strength, how could he protect himself?
"Alright, alright, at least this thing is very valuable! Just because I can't sell it now doesn't mean I won't be able to sell it later!" Lin Yuan reassured himself; such extreme highs and lows were truly unbearable.
After a moment of sighing and reflecting, Lin Yuan did not immediately take out the Dark Magic Core. First, he didn't trust that bastard Gatekeeper. Second, although his current Energy Engine could store some precious items, its level was still too low and could easily be detected.
On the contrary, temporarily sealing these precious Dark Magic Cores within the Energy Engine of his Falcon Fighter would be much safer; after all, even if the Gatekeeper stared at it with wide eyes, he wouldn't be able to touch it.
After all this fuss, Lin Yuan was finally ready to embark on a new chapter. He was preparing to create a completely combat-oriented Mechanical Body. Initially worried that it would be difficult, but now with a full eight Modification Points, wasn't this task just within reach?
Of course, Lin Yuan was not reckless. Precisely because he held enough Modification Points, he became even more cautious, striving to ensure that not a single point would go to waste.
After careful consideration, he believed that there was no rush to rebuild the Mechanical Body; first, he needed to sort out the four parallel Energy Engine Matrices. This way, when he did rebuild the Mechanical Body, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Thus, Lin Yuan once again turned his attention to the Energy Engine of the Falcon Fighter. The damage to this device was not severe, only 8%, making it the perfect teacher for him, even though this Energy Engine was an antique from over ten thousand years ago.
However, this was undoubtedly a challenging research topic. Just figuring out how to disassemble this Energy Engine consumed a significant amount of Lin Yuan's time because its configuration was entirely different from any engine he had encountered before—not outdated but rather too advanced.
After a whole week, Lin Yuan finally made some progress; he managed to understand the configuration of this ancient engine.
First, it was a Dual Star Engine and a Nine-Channel Curved Engine, rated d1+, with a power output of approximately 100,000, an energy utilization rate of about 90%, an average burst rate of 90%, maximum energy output at 0%, and maximum overclocked output at 0%.
This configuration was undoubtedly formidable. In terms of power, it was 00 times that of Lin Yuan's Energy Engine. In other words, from the perspective of the Energy Engine, a d1-level Mechanical Warrior would be 00 times stronger than him. If one also considered Intelligence Level, integration, and combat form, the overall combat strength of such a Mechanical Warrior would be over ten thousand times greater than Lin Yuan's—perhaps even more exaggerated since this was just one combat form.
With this initial understanding in place, Lin Yuan's subsequent research gradually gained clarity. Although he still couldn't fully disassemble it, this d1-level Energy Engine resolved many of his confusions, especially regarding the modification of the four parallel engine matrices—it was truly enlightening!
And the specific insight? There was only one: replication. In other words, imitation; or more bluntly put, plagiarism! A blatant act of copying.
There was no need to replicate everything perfectly or to adhere strictly to standards; as long as the general idea was similar, that would be sufficient.
