Rather than fleeing for his life, it felt more like flying a kite. Lin Yuan's combat abilities had improved significantly, and more importantly, his running speed could reach kilometers per hour, giving him a substantial advantage to maneuver.
With the Laser Sniper Rifle firing once every two seconds and delivering powerful damage, Lin Yuan could take down a Mechanical Mouse every three minutes on average. It was simple and easy; all he needed to ensure was his accuracy and to avoid being caught by the Mechanical Mice.
By the time the Mechanical Mice had chased him down to within fifty meters, he had already eliminated six of them. Excluding the two severely injured ones that had fallen behind, only four remained.
At this moment, Lin Yuan stopped. This was not an act of desperation; rather, he believed that some close-quarters training was essential for his growth. After all, no one knew what challenges lay ahead. Mastering both melee and ranged combat would be beneficial. Moreover, during his recent hunts for Razor Beetles, he had primarily relied on melee attacks, so he felt somewhat confident.
In an instant, four Mechanical Mice charged at him like mighty bulls. Based on past experiences, these creatures were standard melee fighters. Their three-meter-long mechanical tails were particularly nasty and could launch surprise attacks.
As the four Mechanical Mice charged forward, they aimed to crush Lin Yuan into pulp while their mechanical tails swept through the air as a double insurance—truly insidious.
At that moment, Lin Yuan activated his Main Audio-Visual Radar to its fullest extent, generating six Three-Dimensional Projections per second. He understood all of the Mechanical Mice's charging movements perfectly; this was the foundation for his melee engagement and guaranteed his next offensive move!
In a split second, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body leaped bizarrely into the air, defying gravity as he launched himself at a forty-five-degree angle—a remarkable feat made possible by his rapidly rotating waist!
Following this, Lin Yuan's four Mechanical Arms spun in the air like propellers for a second. As he unleashed attacks from three Laser Pistols and the Sniper Rifle into one of the Mechanical Mice's heads, he also dodged a massive sweep from a mechanical tail!
Then, Lin Yuan closed in with a perfectly executed Knee Strike directly to the Mechanical Mouse's eye. The twenty-centimeter-long Alloy Spike pierced through without hesitation. This was entirely different from hitting a target from afar with a Sniper Rifle; it was thrilling and bloody. Amidst the screams of the Mechanical Mouse, Lin Yuan felt a surge of adrenaline. Without mercy, the Alloy Spike from his First Mechanical Arm plunged into the wound of the Mechanical Mouse's head, stirring it violently while his right Mechanical Leg delivered rapid Knee Strikes—mainly to complement the sharp Alloy Spike in front of his knee.
In almost no time at all, that unfortunate Mechanical Mouse was left in a bloody mess and entered a state of death.
After landing a successful blow, Lin Yuan immediately jumped away to escape as the remaining three Mechanical Mice regrouped around him. One of them swung its thick mechanical tail with force, striking against Lin Yuan's Alloy Shield on his back and inflicting 45 points of damage. Comparatively speaking, his Mechanical Body still felt rather fragile.
At this moment, Lin Yuan had begun to master the rhythm of battle. With his current jumping height and the ability to perform a double jump and drift in mid-air, he could easily evade the encirclement of the three Mechanical Mice, constantly maneuvering around them while keeping his Laser Sniper Rifle firing continuously.
Whenever a flaw appeared in the united defense of the three Mechanical Mice, he would quickly dart in, landing two or three Knee Strikes followed by piercing attacks, then swiftly retreat. Occasionally, he would get scratched by the claws of a Mechanical Mouse, but overall, the tide of battle was slowly turning in Lin Yuan's favor.
Fifteen minutes later, the entire battle came to an end. By this point, Lin Yuan had successfully taken down ten Mechanical Mice.
With a triumphant chuckle in his heart, he began to collect his spoils. The danger level of the Mechanical Mouse was rated at two stars, and correspondingly, its value should be decent. For instance, the armor on its body and its sharp claws were all infused with Biological Alloy, yielding more than what he had harvested from Razor Beetles.
Just from these three Mechanical Mice alone, Lin Yuan had collected 488 grams of Biological Alloy.
But this was just the beginning. After stripping off the Exoskeleton Armor and cutting off the claws, what remained was essentially a ball of meat. Of course, this so-called meatball had an Enhancement Level exceeding 5, making it tougher than century-old refined steel. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of glutton could possibly digest it.
However, this meatball provided Lin Yuan with some intriguing information.
“Ding! Detected polymer fiber hardened meat. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress. Data generated: Origin - Earth Colonization Star; Mutated Mechanical Field Mouse; classified as F1 standard material purchased by Mechanical City. Can be used to provide delicious dishes such as mouse soup, braised mouse, sweet and sour mouse, breaded mouse scraps, shredded mouse meat, and home-style stir-fried mouse for Carbon-Based Life Citizens and Silicon-Based Life Citizens of Mechanical City. Purchase price per kilogram is 10 Mechanical Coins…”
“Wow, people actually eat this!” Lin Yuan found it quite fascinating. He wondered how this hardened mouse meat could be processed to be edible for those Carbon-Based Life forms—presumably humans. How could they possibly consume it? Unless they evolved into beings with iron teeth and steel jaws!
This train of thought led Lin Yuan to ponder another question: it was indeed possible for humans to evolve. Given the technological level of Mechanical City, unless they chose to become rebels, they should have the means to enhance their lifespan or physical strength through various methods. Otherwise, life as citizens would be quite miserable.
In any case, they couldn't be weaklings.
Setting that thought aside, Lin Yuan faced another dilemma: each of these Mechanical Mice was quite large. After removing the Exoskeleton Armor, each one still weighed around three hundred pounds due to the hardened meat. How was he supposed to transport them? And this wasn't just one; it was a total of ten mice—three thousand pounds altogether. If sold, that could easily fetch him 100 Mechanical Coins—a significant amount he had no reason to pass up.
At that moment, Lin Yuan truly missed his Mouse One. If only Mouse One were here, no problem would be too difficult to solve!
With a deep sigh of frustration, Lin Yuan could only laboriously dig a large pit to hide the three Meat Mice inside, hoping they wouldn't be discovered by other Carnivorous Mechanical Beasts.
