"Hahaha! What a great feeling!"
Lin Yuan was so excited at this moment that he didn't know what to do with himself. He even thought about celebrating with a cold beer, as this battle was vastly different from his previous encounters!
His opponent was stronger, the situation was sudden, and it had all unfolded in a near ambush. This was enough to prove that Lin Yuan was no longer the same Mountain Bike he once was. His relentless efforts during this time had finally transformed him from an unremarkable lump of metal into a fairly competent Mechanical Warrior.
If this battle were a midterm exam, Lin Yuan confidently believed he had scored eighty points!
The significance of the Auditory Radar became particularly evident in this fight. Without the six frames per second of comprehensive Three-Dimensional Projection, Lin Yuan would not have been able to accurately grasp the attack patterns of those four Razor Beetles!
Next, the importance of his Intelligence Level had risen significantly. If the Auditory Radar allowed him to grasp external details, then Intellect was responsible for internal analysis. Without the rapid calculations and coordination provided by Intellect, even six frames per second of Three-Dimensional Projection would be overwhelming for Lin Yuan. After all, that meant thousands of pieces of information were being processed every second; just the sheer volume was enough to be daunting.
The third crucial factor was a unique part of Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body: his waist. This waist could rotate flexibly in three hundred sixty degrees, even up to seven hundred twenty or one thousand eighty degrees. It was truly marvelous! With this special feature, Lin Yuan's four Mechanical Arms could adjust their direction freely—up, down, left, right, north, south, east, west—hitting targets precisely when needed! In critical moments, it looked incredibly impressive!
Moreover, during this battle, Lin Yuan discovered another pleasant surprise: a double jump. It sounded unscientific; even legendary martial artists might not be able to jump again while airborne because it defied conventional physics.
However, Lin Yuan's unique Mechanical Body could do just that. When he jumped up and rotated his waist while balancing with his four Mechanical Arms, he could change his landing direction within a certain range and even shift laterally toward a specific direction.
This maneuver was extremely advantageous in combat, especially in close-quarters fighting!
Of course, so far, Lin Yuan had only mastered the basics of this double jump. To make it more effective, he would need to practice continuously in the future.
In short, the future looked bright!
Amidst his joy, Lin Yuan did not forget to remain vigilant about his surroundings. He first gathered the bodies of the four Razor Beetles but did not immediately purify the Biological Alloy. Instead, he cautiously approached the mound ahead. There were twelve openings behind that mound; now only four Razor Beetles had emerged. He had every reason to believe there were more Razor Beetles inside!
As the saying goes: eradicate evil completely and cut off its roots. Lin Yuan had always disliked leaving potential threats behind, even if they seemed insignificant.
Encouraged by the results of his previous battle, Lin Yuan felt a surge of confidence. He deliberately made a loud noise outside the entrances of the burrows, hoping to lure out any Razor Beetles inside.
However, after quite some time of making a racket, not a single Razor Beetle appeared.
"Could it be that there are only these four?" Lin Yuan thought to himself. Still feeling uneasy, he decided to pick the largest Razor Beetle burrow and squeeze himself inside. Fortunately, his Mechanical Body was not overly bulky, and since the Razor Beetles themselves were not very large, he managed to enter with ease.
The Razor Beetle was undoubtedly a skilled architect; the interior of the burrow was smooth and polished, and the entrance was perfectly vertical. It was slippery, but that didn't pose a challenge for Lin Yuan. After all, he was now an arthropod himself, equipped with four Mechanical Arms and two Mechanical Legs, which were sufficient to handle most difficulties.
The vertical entrance extended a full five or six meters deep. Once Lin Yuan landed on the ground, his Auditory Radar began a comprehensive scan. The Three-Dimensional Image that returned surprised him; he hadn't expected the Razor Beetle's burrow to be so vast. In terms of height, it was at least two meters tall and over twenty meters wide—essentially a spacious living room.
Inside this "living room," Lin Yuan spotted at least five enormous Metal Balls. These were likely the Razor Beetle's dung balls. He wasn't particularly interested in them; after all, any normal person would probably find little fascination in Scarab dung balls, even if they had transformed into Metal Balls.
Next, Lin Yuan searched around but found no other Razor Beetles. Instead, he discovered several smaller burrows in the corners of the chamber that seemed to serve as storage spaces. Each burrow was blocked by a massive metal dung ball.
Seeing this situation left Lin Yuan somewhat disappointed. After pondering for a moment, he attempted to move one of the metal dung balls to see what peculiarities lay within the burrow.
However, as soon as Lin Yuan's Mechanical Arms made contact with the Metal Ball, an intense message flashed in his mind.
"Beep! Beep beep! Detected Standard Energy: 56 units. Would you like to absorb it?"
The sudden appearance of this message startled Lin Yuan, but he quickly became even more astonished—there was Standard Energy hidden within this metallic substance? Goodness! This Razor Beetle truly was a treasure!
How could Lin Yuan refuse such good fortune? He immediately chose to absorb it; he was in dire need of this resource!
In an instant, as his Energy Engine operated within his Mechanical Body, the Standard Energy from the Metal Ball was completely absorbed. Then came a loud cracking sound as the once incredibly solid Metal Ball shattered into countless metal fragments. That wasn't all; what drove Lin Yuan wild with excitement was that among the shattered pieces lay five black eggs about the size of sweet potatoes belonging to Razor Beetles!
In that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly cursed himself for being so foolish, almost missing out on such a great opportunity. The Scarab rolled dung balls solely for the purpose of reproduction, and although the Razor Beetles had mutated, they still retained this characteristic. Their offspring were certainly hidden within the Metal Balls, and their favorite food was the Centrifugal Stone Ore. Therefore, the eggs they consumed had to be refined Standard Energy!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan hesitated no longer. He lunged forward and absorbed all the Standard Energy from the remaining Metal Balls. At that moment, his Energy Reserve finally returned to full capacity, reaching 800 units.
With ample Standard Energy at his disposal, Lin Yuan wasted no time. He emerged from the Razor Beetle cave and immediately began refining the Biological Alloy from the corpses of the four Razor Beetles.
“Ding! Detected a small amount of Biological Alloy. Refinement estimate: 15 grams. Consuming 18 units of Standard Energy. Refinement time: three seconds! Proceed with refinement?”
“…”
This felt like striking gold while mining; Lin Yuan was in an exceptionally good mood. Without hesitation, he proceeded with the full refinement and ultimately obtained a total of 41 grams of precious Biological Alloy.
The miraculous nature of this substance was second only to Modification Points. After a brief contemplation, Lin Yuan decided to melt all 41 grams of Biological Alloy into his Mechanical Legs. Although he was dissatisfied with his current Movement System, he had noticed during the recent battle that jumping ability was crucial, but the wear and tear were significant. His waist had been modified and reinforced without issue; thus, the remaining focus needed to be on strengthening his Mechanical Legs. As long as they were sturdy enough, it would ensure his basic combat effectiveness.
Without delay, Lin Yuan began melting the Biological Alloy. The entire process was brief; it took less than two minutes for the melting to complete.
At that moment, significant changes occurred in his Mechanical Legs. Although their appearance remained grotesque, their Enhancement Level increased from its previous state to an average of 5 points. Despite only a two-point increase in Enhancement Level, it represented a transformative change—like turning a piece of wood into a chunk of steel.
