The scheme involving the Gatekeeper and the Slime ultimately turned into a joke, because if Lin Yuan refused to pay, no matter how beautifully they spun their tale, it would be useless.
The Gatekeeper might have wanted to hold on a bit longer, but unfortunately, he encountered a useless ally. After reaching a verbal agreement with Lin Yuan, the Slime somehow managed to retrieve a discarded Wreckage of the Fighter Jet from Mechanical City. Of course, it was nothing more than trash, utterly worthless, and they planned to use it to exchange for Lin Yuan's One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins. If this transaction succeeded, they would have truly struck gold, considering that the Wreckage of the Fighter Jet held no value in Mechanical City.
However, Lin Yuan had no intention of trading at all, so that piece of junk remained stuck in the trading System's logistics warehouse, accruing a daily storage fee of ten thousand coins.
For the Slime, this was indeed a costly mistake. Eventually, the Gatekeeper could no longer bear it and, after pleading with Lin Yuan in vain, revealed the truth about their situation, including the Slime's so-called Secondary Citizen status and its supposed noble title—both were fabrications.
In the end, Lin Yuan used One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins to rescue the two from this predicament.
Of course, for Lin Yuan, this was quite a bargain. No matter how dilapidated the Wreckage of the Fighter Jet was, it originated from Mechanical City. A little research could yield immeasurable benefits.
However, Lin Yuan wasn't in the mood to study the Wreckage of the Fighter Jet just yet; he was still reeling from his shock regarding Mechanical City's Elite Warriors.
He even went so far as to dissect the corpse of a Mutant. It sounded disgusting and was indeed quite gruesome to perform, but there was no choice—Lin Yuan needed first-hand information about these Mutant Humans. He was also curious about how these Mutants had become so powerful.
Take this e1 level Swift Hunter as an example; although she was a Female Mutant, her physical strength was almost unimaginable!
Standing nearly two meters fifty tall and weighing two hundred kilograms, she had an incredibly slender figure with harmonious proportions—indeed, she perfectly embodied the golden ratio. Her face was stunningly beautiful, seemingly combining all the best traits of both Eastern and Western features. Lin Yuan could confidently assert that aside from this Mutant's terrifying height, she was undoubtedly more beautiful than any woman from the 21st century!
But therein lay the problem: such a seemingly delicate woman with harmonious proportions weighed two hundred kilograms—equivalent to four normal humans. Therefore, Lin Yuan felt compelled to dissect her for peace of mind.
The final result left Lin Yuan astonished; she appeared to be an ordinary human being except for her exceptionally high muscle and bone density, which had reached an Enhancement Level of 15.
Even more ferocious than the four Mutant Brutes Lin Yuan had encountered before.
Perplexed, Lin Yuan had no choice but to give up. He discarded the corpse of the Female Mutant to the trading System in exchange for Mission Points and Mechanical Coins. Mission Points were quite valuable; just a small amount could be exchanged for Mechanical Coins in the black market of Mechanical City. Moreover, accumulating 10,000 Mission Points would grant one merit point, which could then be exchanged for precious Modification Points.
Additionally, Lin Yuan learned that killing an ordinary Mutant would yield a certain number of Mission Points and 100 Mechanical Coins, which was a decent income.
It seemed that the previous Executives of the S-5 Sub-base had prioritized killing those Mutants as their main task. No wonder the Mutants regarded Lin Yuan as their sworn enemy; this was the reason!
With a deep sigh, Lin Yuan honestly wished he did not have to be enemies with those Mutants. All he wanted now was to repay the debts of the S-5 Sub-base, discard this damned Executive position, and take a trip to Mechanical City. Along the way, he hoped to earn enough Mechanical Coins for basic upgrades to his Mechanical Body.
He now understood that the so-called upgrades for Mechanical Warriors were akin to human growth. For instance, F1-level to F7-level Mechanical Warriors corresponded to human children, while E1-level to E7-level Mechanical Warriors represented human teenagers, and so forth.
However, unlike human children who inevitably grew older over time, transitioning from youth to old age, Mechanical Lifeforms needed to strive for their growth. They had to work hard to advance from F1-level to F-Level; if they did not put in the effort, they would remain stagnant.
In the human world, youth was an asset and a source of pride; the younger one was, the more popular they became.
In contrast, in the world of Mechanical Life, being young represented shame and incompetence—an aura of ridicule associated with being weak and useless. If one did not strive hard enough, they would forever remain in a childlike state.
Thus, Lin Yuan realized that his current growth level had nothing to do with that of Elite Warriors; it belonged to an entirely different system.
Understanding this made Lin Yuan feel that he had a lot of work ahead of him. He needed to struggle hard—not only to transform himself into a respected Old Man but also into an Elite Warrior. Even that lecherous Gatekeeper once aspired to bask in the glory of being an Elite Warrior; how could he remain indifferent? Clearly, in Mechanical City, one truly needed formidable strength to survive. He did not want to worry about suddenly going bankrupt one day and ending up like an Exile such as the Gatekeeper.
After dealing with the corpse of the Female Mutant, Lin Yuan began to study the low-grade Hunter Equipment. These items were not something even the Gatekeeper could easily explain, as they were not accessible to ordinary citizens of Mechanical City.
According to the Gatekeeper, the Hunter Equipment worn by the Female Mutant was second-hand, acquired through smuggling channels, and would be extremely expensive—likely exceeding one million Mechanical Coins. This scoundrel had the audacity to sell such equipment, but Lin Yuan chose to ignore that.
The set of Hunter Equipment consisted of four pieces: a very light and thin Blue Armor with an Enhancement Level of several points, a Blue Helmet, a pair of peculiar Battle Boots, and finally, an exceptionally sharp Blue Longsword.
Though simple in appearance, these four pieces were quite complex. Lin Yuan had previously studied heavy Exoskeleton Armor, which had an Enhancement Level of 5 points, but it was incomparable; it was like comparing exquisite handmade craftsmanship to rough mass-produced imitations.
The Blue Armor featured radar invisibility, infrared stealth mode, temperature protection capable of withstanding up to 1000 degrees Celsius and as low as 10 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it had automatic micro-repair capabilities and low-altitude gliding functionality, all while weighing only three kilograms.
As for the helmet, it possessed all the aforementioned features along with remote targeting, dynamic tracking, information connectivity, data analysis, and collection functions.
The Battle Boots offered a fifty-meter jump capability and spider-like walking functionality. In emergencies, they could even deploy gliding like a rocket when combined with the armor!
In summary, they were incredibly powerful!
Lastly, the sharp Blue Longsword was specially crafted. Its overall Enhancement Level was not very high at just 5 points; however, its true strength lay in its immunity to extreme temperatures and high corrosion damage. Made from high-density materials, it could enhance weapon attack by eighty percent when bearing energy strikes. This was why Lin Yuan's Laser Sniper Rifle could do nothing against the Blue Longsword.
