Facing the charge of Lin Yuan, the Blade Shield Warrior showed no signs of fear. Instead, it boldly stepped forward, making it clear that no matter how Lin Yuan attacked, he would not be able to break through the defenses of this Mechanical Warrior.
However, Lin Yuan had no intention of engaging head-on. As he closed the distance to within three meters of the Blade Shield Warrior, he suddenly executed a powerful jump. Utilizing the unique capabilities of his Mechanical Legs, he leaped a full four meters high, not only evading the incoming slash from the Blade Shield Warrior but also soaring over its head.
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Yuan wasted no time. His Laser Gun, fully charged and ready, fired instantly, striking the Mechanical Warrior's neck with a direct hit.
This attack was fierce, dealing thirty points of critical damage and pushing the Blade Shield Warrior two steps forward.
As Lin Yuan landed on the ground, he didn’t even need to turn around. He rapidly rotated his Mechanical Arms 180 degrees and simultaneously attacked with a large wrench and a sharp spike resembling a spear tip, inflicting one point and eight points of damage respectively.
With his first strike successful, Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Legs sprang into action again, allowing him to dodge the Blade Shield Warrior's counterattack. Taking advantage of his speed, he quickly recharged his Laser Gun while continuously finding openings to attack.
In this manner, Lin Yuan managed to gain a slight upper hand. His jumping ability was exceptional, and combined with the flexibility of his Mechanical Arms that could change attack directions at will, he achieved unexpected results. The large Blade Shield Warrior struggled to keep up with Lin Yuan's rhythm; it couldn’t land a hit on him, and its Block skill was nearly ineffective since Lin Yuan always found a way to strike its back.
When another Blade Shield Warrior charged in, Lin Yuan’s Laser Gun was once again ready. Seizing the moment, he fired and then swiftly turned to escape. At that point, the health points of the first Blade Shield Warrior had already dropped by eighty.
Having tasted success, Lin Yuan felt exhilarated. He continued with his previous strategy of separating the two Blade Shield Warriors and quickly focused all his attacks on one. In less than five minutes and three strikes later, he managed to eliminate that Blade Shield Warrior using this underhanded tactic.
With only one Blade Shield Warrior remaining, things became even simpler. Five minutes later, the battle concluded. Lin Yuan was filled with excitement; he hardly paid attention to the Remote Mechanical Warrior in the distance that had already lost its combat capability and hurriedly moved forward to loot the spoils.
As soon as Lin Yuan touched the wreckage of one Blade Shield Warrior, a message appeared in his mind.
"Detected Low-Level Energy: 190 units. Would you like to absorb?"
"Discovered F1 level standard Standard Battle Blade, currently cannot be equipped!"
"Discovered F1 level standard Alloy Shield, currently cannot be equipped!"
"Discovered enhancement materials, currently cannot enhance!"
Seeing these messages, Lin Yuan was not surprised. Undoubtedly, the standard Standard Battle Blade and Alloy Shield required Modification Points to equip. After all, his current Mechanical Body was quite rudimentary. Fortunately, he still had 190 units of Low-Level Energy, bringing his total energy to 90 units.
However, when he attempted to absorb energy from the second Mechanical Warrior's Wreckage, the information in his mind changed.
"Discovered 190 units of Low-Level Energy, do you wish to absorb?"
"Warning, the Primary Energy Furnace can no longer accommodate this. Would you like to condense the remaining energy into Standard Energy Units? It can be condensed into 08 units of Standard Energy. Using Standard Energy Units will greatly enhance the power and combat ability of the Mechanical Warrior."
"Warning, the target's Mechanical Body's Energy Furnace is at the lowest standard level and cannot accommodate Standard Energy Units. Would you like to upgrade to a First-Level Energy Furnace? This process requires 100 units of Standard Energy, with no time limit; Standard Energy can be accumulated."
"Huh? Energy Furnace, Standard Energy?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback. He had always been curious about where his Mechanical Body stored so much energy. It seemed there was a minimum level Energy Furnace, but where was it?
Suppressing his curiosity, Lin Yuan carefully read through the information regarding upgrading the Energy Furnace. He calculated in his mind that although this upgrade required a full 100 units of Standard Energy, it wasn't too difficult; he just needed to keep accumulating it. In fact, he was eager to see what the First-Level Energy Furnace looked like.
After making his decision, Lin Yuan allocated 100 units from his current 400 units of Low-Level Energy to condense and compress into Standard Energy.
However, the entire process was completely uneventful, and Lin Yuan didn't even know where the Standard Energy unit had gone.
At that moment, he didn't have time to think about it. He quickly returned to kill the Remote Mechanical Warrior that had already lost its combat capability, earning another 160 units of Low-Level Energy.
Next, Lin Yuan employed the same tactic again, eliminating the remaining two groups of Mechanical Warrior Patrol Teams and acquiring a total of 1,080 units of Low-Level Energy. After reserving enough for his own use, he compressed the rest into Standard Energy. By now, he had accumulated 1 unit of Standard Energy, which was quite a harvest.
However, Lin Yuan felt somewhat regretful that despite killing nine Mechanical Warriors this time, the integration of his Intellect and Mechanical Body had only increased by 0.5 percent. He wondered how long it would be until his next upgrade.
After clearing out the outer patrols, Lin Yuan did not recklessly delve deeper into the object resembling an Iron Giant Wheel. Instead, he dragged all nine Mechanical Warrior wreckages back to his Base Camp. This process was naturally exhausting; while the Mechanical Spider was manageable, the knife-and-shield Mechanical Warrior weighed a hefty fifty kilograms, making it quite a struggle for Lin Yuan.
The entire collection process lasted over twenty hours and consumed more than fifty energy points. Yet Lin Yuan found joy in it; the pleasure of collecting filled him with motivation. Of course, the greatest benefit was that it significantly improved the integration of his Intellect and Mechanical Body.
Previously, after killing nine Mechanical Warriors, his integration had only increased by 0.5 percent. However, this arduous collection effort allowed his integration to rise by 0.4 percent quickly, bringing him one step closer to his next upgrade.
During this time, the F1-class intelligent mining vehicle collected enough steel from the ruins based on Lin Yuan's instructions and crafted a rather rugged large door for him. Lin Yuan marveled at this and immediately issued another command for the mining vehicle to create a complete set of repair and disassembly tools. He realized he needed to find a way to make use of his somewhat lackluster repair skills through continuous training to gradually become proficient and continue upgrading. His next target for disassembly and repair would naturally be those nine Mechanical Warrior wreckages.
