The mere two pieces of incomplete information once again shocked Lin Yuan.
First was the so-called Phantom Alloy. With an Enhancement Level of 789, it was already terrifying. Compared to Lin Yuan's average Mechanical Body Enhancement Level of 188, it felt like a bicycle facing a Ferrari supercar—he felt incredibly insecure and overwhelmed by a severe sense of defeat.
What was even more alarming was that this material was merely used for making shells. Even with Lin Yuan's nonexistent imagination, he could guess how terrifying the destructive power of this so-called Firestone High-Explosive Weapon could be. Not to mention that this thing could even resist Cosmic Rays and other chaotic elements, remaining unharmed in both extreme heat and cold!
Next was the Firestone Energy. The Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia surprisingly provided an explanation for this special energy, suggesting that this extremely unstable energy could rival Centrifugal Stone Energy in some respects.
Moreover, this substance was incredibly expensive; one kilogram of Firestone sold for ten thousand Mechanical Coins. Ten thousand Mechanical Coins! Who could afford such a Firestone High-Explosive Weapon, especially one luxurious enough to use Phantom Alloy? What kind of monstrous existence was this?
Lastly, there was one point that left Lin Yuan utterly perplexed: Firestone could only be produced in Mechanical City. This raised a question!
Since Lin Yuan had already confirmed that the beings present here were surviving humans, how did this individual manage to purchase Weapon Equipment from Mechanical City? Or did Mechanical City not only produce Mechanical Warriors but also welcome surviving humans for drinks and casual chats?
If this speculation held true, then where exactly was Mechanical City? Was it on Earth? If it wasn't on Earth, how did that surviving human get there?
This series of questions drove Lin Yuan nearly mad. However, he forced himself to set these inquiries aside; now was not the time for endless questioning. The urgent priority was to ensure he wasn't discovered by that unknown human, regardless of whether their intentions were good or bad.
Secondly, he needed to become more powerful to maintain his voice in this situation; otherwise, he could be taken out in an instant—how unfair would that be?
After storing away the shell made from Phantom Alloy, Lin Yuan carefully examined the test tube. It was clearly meant to hold some kind of liquid, but unfortunately, his Intellect couldn't provide any explanation.
Then Lin Yuan quickly withdrew from the area, uncertain if the surviving human with powerful Weapon Equipment would return to this building.
Lin Yuan decided not to venture further north but instead to explore deeper to the west, as he felt that the dangers seemed to increase the farther north he went.
Like a frightened mouse, Lin Yuan wandered through the desolate land, always on high alert. At the slightest rustle of grass or whisper of wind, he would quickly hide under nearby cover.
Fortunately, the survivor who had been described in his mind as a terrifying demon did not appear. Instead, it was Lin Yuan himself who transformed into a demon, slaying one Razor Beetle after another.
Now, this kind of combat was no longer a challenge for him. Having mastered the attack patterns of the Razor Beetles, all he needed to do was raise his blade and leave no survivors.
Twelve hours later, Lin Yuan had moved one hundred thirty kilometers away from the abandoned house. He had killed fifteen Razor Beetles along the way, which was an impressive haul, yielding a total of 19 grams of Biological Alloy. He then melted down all this Biological Alloy into his entire body, including his four Mechanical Arms. Ultimately, aside from the Engine Armor, his Mechanical Body's overall Enhancement Level had reached an impressive seven, while his average Enhancement Level soared to 199.
Of course, this frenzied refining and melting consumed a significant amount of Standard Energy. It required 1 Standard Energy to refine each gram of Biological Alloy and 0.1 Standard Energy to melt it down. The total energy consumed had reached an astounding 608 units of Standard Energy—an undeniably large number.
Fortunately, during these battles, Lin Yuan also discovered some metallic dung balls containing Razor Beetle eggs, which helped sustain this terrifying consumption to a certain extent and prevented him from going bankrupt.
As night fell again and the terrifying storm approached, Lin Yuan chose to hide in a Razor Beetle cave to avoid the storm while also taking the opportunity to practice various combat techniques.
Currently, Lin Yuan's primary attack method relied on ranged attacks. However, due to his lack of speed, he sometimes found himself in close combat with Razor Beetles. In such situations, having precise and agile reflexes along with explosive power became crucial while maintaining a good balance with Ranged Attack and Firepower.
Additionally, he focused on training his double jump technique. Now that he had melted Biological Alloy throughout his body, there were significant changes in his Civic Induction Transmission Rate. He could perform many complex movements with impressive proficiency!
If there was one regret, it was that Lin Yuan's integration between Intellect and Mechanical Body was progressing at an infuriatingly slow pace. Previously at F-Level, although the integration rate increased slowly, it could still be improved through extensive training and repairs.
However, now at F4 level, despite engaging in large-scale physical training and intense battles over the past two days, the overall integration rate had only increased by 0.01%.
This is definitely a frustrating piece of data. At this rate, Lin Yuan would need to maintain his current training intensity or combat strength for at least ten years to raise the integration level of Intellect and Mechanical Body from 701% to the next level of 9%.
Isn't that just ridiculous? Even though Lin Yuan currently has no limitations on his lifespan, ten years is still a long time!
When the second day's storm subsided, Lin Yuan crawled out of the Razor Beetle's cave once again. The advantage of being a Mechanical Warrior is quite remarkable; he would never feel fatigued as long as he had enough energy to sustain him. Therefore, Lin Yuan couldn't come up with any excuses to slack off.
After emerging from the cave, Lin Yuan instinctively activated his Auditory Radar to scan the surroundings, starting with a radius of two hundred meters and then expanding it to three kilometers.
"Two hundred meters scan complete. Safe, no anomalies!"
"Three kilometers scan in progress. Three minutes required. 00000°, safe. 0115°, safe... 18000°, beep! Anomalous object detected, moving at approximately forty-five kilometers per hour. Target direction: 00000°. Warning! You have been locked onto by the target. Please exercise caution!"
As a series of information rapidly generated within Lin Yuan's Intellect, six Three-Dimensional Projection images quickly appeared. In an instant, the appearance and various basic data of the uninvited guest were displayed before him.
