When Lin Yuan's Mechanical Legs reached an Enhancement Level of 5, the Enhancement Level of his entire body also changed, averaging at 188, with an average defense rating also hitting 188. This was primarily due to his Energy Engine Armor having an Enhancement Level of 5.
At this moment, Lin Yuan looked at his overall attributes and couldn't help but feel immensely satisfied. Compared to his initial Mountain Bike, it was more than just a few dozen times more complex.
"F4 level F-Class Melee and Ranged Hybrid Mechanical Warrior, Intelligence Level 10, Intellect integrated with Mechanical Body at 7001%, now equipped with an Energy Engine, grade f+."
"Vitality 800/800 (due to the completion of the Energy Engine modification, based on quality f+, after taking damage, can recover Health Points by 0 each day) Standard Energy 687/800 units."
"Auditory Radar Level 4, Precision Coverage Range 00 meters, generating six Three-Dimensional Projections per second, has initially formed the Auditory Radar System, three virtual external interfaces currently not activated, one wired interface activated, Second Audio-Visual Radar connection successful, signal shared losslessly and without delay."

"Basic Attributes: Attack Power ~108 (Alloy Spike attack points, all Mechanical Arm Laser Gun attack 7 points, Laser Sniper Rifle attack 6 points), average Defense Power 188, average Enhancement Level 188, Movement Speed 16 kilometers/hour."
"Basic Skills: None. Double Jump: Speed +1; when used in close combat, it can increase damage by %, with a 10% chance to produce % critical damage."
"Combat Skills: None."
"Basic Skills: Self-Repair Assembly Level 4; skill clear; possesses complex and vague repair experience; to a certain extent, experienced enough to accurately repair and assemble ordinary Parts; has a degree of creativity; parts modified after repair will have a one in ninety thousand chance of enhancing mechanical properties!"
"Basic repair equipment."
"Combat Equipment: Alloy Spike, F-Class Standard Laser Gun*, Anti-Material Laser Sniper Rifle, F-Level standard Alloy Shield."
"Currently has Modification Points."
"Current mission progress one: Five Razor Beetles killed; killing one hundred Razor Beetles will grant the title 'Filer.'"
"Current mission progress two: Apprentice Mechanic title; growth unknown."
After pausing for a moment, Lin Yuan decided to continue his journey. He now felt that hunting the Razor Beetle was quite a rewarding task; not only could he earn the title of Filer, but he could also gain a substantial amount of Standard Energy. Most importantly, he could refine Biological Alloy!
However, Lin Yuan remained cautious. He utilized the Second Audio-Visual Radar to record the entire Three-Dimensional Terrain Map within a three-kilometer radius into his Intellect before moving forward. He needed comprehensive terrain control without any blind spots to avoid accidentally wandering into dangerous areas. Additionally, this would allow him to escape quickly if he encountered any threats.
As Lin Yuan explored over ten kilometers ahead, he did not spot any Razor Beetles. Instead, he came across a thriving Giant Tree Beehive. Apart from that, the wilderness seemed to have returned to a state of eerie silence. Along the way, he also saw many ruins of human structures, but there was nothing left inside; undoubtedly, these had all been stripped bare by the Razor Beetles.
However, there was an exception. When Lin Yuan ventured north for nearly twenty kilometers, his Second Audio-Visual Radar generated a three-dimensional image revealing a dilapidated yet still-standing Three-Story Building—a miraculous sight.
Lin Yuan observed the building from three kilometers away for quite some time but found nothing particularly special about it and could not determine why it had not been destroyed. Similarly, he detected no immediate dangers.
This was indeed a Three-Story Building. Aside from not being constructed with reinforced concrete, it bore no difference from the luxurious villas Lin Yuan remembered from the 21st century. He even discovered traces of what appeared to be a Swimming Pool not far from the building.
Then, Lin Yuan began to approach slowly, continuously scanning with his Auditory Radar from all directions. As he got within two hundred meters of the Three-Story Building, he still encountered no threats; it appeared to be merely a crumbling relic.
However, at that moment, a detail relayed by his Auditory Radar nearly made Lin Yuan turn and flee. He noticed fresh bullet holes on a set of steps outside the building!
Indeed, they were very fresh. Lin Yuan could tell they were made by a weapon similar to a shotgun; it seemed only one shot had been fired. Yet that solid step, crafted from some kind of rock, had become riddled with holes—like a sieve or more vividly, like honeycomb. What terrifying firepower that must have been! If Wakayama Yuan had faced such a shot, it would likely have taken him out instantly!
In an instant, the excitement and pride from his previous battle vanished without a trace. He seriously considered retreating back to his Fortress Base and hiding for the rest of his life; he did not want to die a second time!
Amidst endless tension and fear, Lin Yuan still slowly moved forward. He knew that if there were any formidable Mechanical Warriors or similar entities inside that building, it would be too late to escape now; it was better to take the risk and find out what was going on.
As Lin Yuan continued to approach, his Auditory Radar finally allowed him to peer inside the building. Fortunately, he did not detect any suspicious dangers, which relieved him somewhat.
Maintaining the highest level of vigilance, Lin Yuan tried not to disturb anything in the area; he was worried about leaving any traces behind.
After three minutes of thorough searching around the front and back of the building without finding any danger, he became increasingly certain that unknown entities had lingered inside not long ago. Besides the shotgun bullet holes at the entrance, there were also some abandoned items within.
Among them were a silver bullet casing about two fingers thick, a blue test tube, and an empty wine bottle!
Lin Yuan could only imagine the shock he felt upon discovering these three discarded items, accompanied by a hint of wild joy, quickly overshadowed by an overwhelming fear.
Humans—these were human belongings! It had to be so; no Mechanical Warrior would ever drink alcohol. Yet, that bottle had caught Lin Yuan's attention for quite some time. He was one hundred percent certain it had been left behind just a few days ago, as the dust on it was minimal.
What should he do? Lin Yuan had no idea how these humans had survived, but one thing was clear: if they encountered him, they would not be friendly, even though he possessed a human soul!
This sense of insecurity was dreadful. Lin Yuan began to imagine the terrifying scenario of his Fortress Base being discovered by these humans. Should he dig a deep pit and bury himself?
After staring blankly for a while, Lin Yuan finally shook off this inexplicable fear. So what if there were surviving humans? He wouldn’t take the initiative to attack them, but if they dared to strike first, he would show no mercy!
With a fierce determination in his heart, Lin Yuan picked up the white shell casing. He sensed that this casing was extraordinary, far beyond the copper shells of the first century.
Sure enough, his Intellect quickly provided an answer.
