Due to this sudden turn of events, Lin Yuan decisively chose to abandon his initial plans. After all, he was now an F6 level Mechanical Warrior, holding one Modification Point and possessing three Combat Skills. Although the Knee Strike Skill was rather unimpressive, only at F1 level, the Charge Slash and Jumping Spin Slash gave him immense confidence!
As the saying goes, with great power comes great boldness!
Now that Lin Yuan's strength had surged, he had no qualms about storming the Sea King Underground Base. The war had already begun; who was afraid of whom?
Thus, Lin Yuan directly infiltrated the Sixth Zone of the Sea King Underground Base. Based on the Three-Dimensional Map he had previously obtained, this area was the largest and most complex within the base. Although all the research equipment had been cleared out, it would not be easy for the Mutants to search through it.
The more critical issue was that the entire Sea King Underground Base was enormous. The Mutants would have to search cautiously without knowing Lin Yuan's exact location, which would undoubtedly buy him a lot of time.
However, Lin Yuan also understood that he could not afford to linger here for more than three hours. He needed to escape before that time was up because once he exceeded three hours, all Mutant bases on Earth would likely know he was hiding here. By then, not only would a swarm of Mutant soldiers come rushing in like ants, but even more Elite Warriors would appear. Although he could face an E1 level Hunter one-on-one now, facing two or three at once would quickly overwhelm him.
Therefore, what he needed now was to act swiftly and consolidate his combat power!
The first thing he did was spend one Modification Point to heal his First Mechanical Arm. This device was truly miraculous; it seemed capable of anything.
Once his First Mechanical Arm was restored to its former glory, Lin Yuan could wield the Hunter's Longsword with both hands, significantly enhancing the power of his Jumping Spin Slash.
However, this also meant that Lin Yuan would be without a Feathered Shield. This item was not just for show; it could block Firestone High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Rounds at critical moments.
But Lin Yuan had no time for meticulous refinements now; he had to use his precious Modification Points despite feeling a pang of regret.
As for the materials for modification, they naturally came from stripping the Hunter Armor off a Hunter.
The specific modification would still be on the First Mechanical Arm but instead of being handheld, it would transform into an arm shield located on the upper half of the First Mechanical Arm. This way, it could provide excellent defense without hindering the attack capabilities of the Hunter's Longsword—both aspects could be achieved simultaneously.
However, just as Lin Yuan prepared to proceed with the modification, an idea struck him: why not assemble a Feathered Shield on top of his Second Mechanical Arm as well? This would enhance his defensive capabilities even further; if both arms were stacked in front of him, they could shield against most Mechanical Body attacks.
It was a brilliant idea but potentially wasteful in terms of Modification Points. After all, this was his first time having more than ten Modification Points!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan recognized the importance of addressing this issue promptly and not delaying too long.
Once he confirmed the modification form in his Intellect system, a message appeared simultaneously.
"Beep! Dual Wing Shield modification starting. Requires six Modification Points and 1000 energy units. Estimated modification time: fifteen minutes. Since more than five Modification Points are used at once, you will receive three special reward modification modes. Please choose: A) Additional consumption of five hundred energy units; upon successful primary modification, overall optimization will occur with effects as follows: Dual Wing Shield will adopt a twelve-wing mode with varying lengths for each wing; width will be a standard eighteen centimeters and thickness 0.5 centimeters. When deployed, overlapping width will be ten centimeters and defense will double."
“An additional two thousand units of energy will be consumed, and at least one kilogram of composite material with an Enhancement Level above 5 must be prepared. The modification effect will not only include the effects of mode A but also enhance the three-dimensional effect of the Dual Wing Shield, making it more aesthetically aligned with the Mechanical Warrior design and streamlined. When running in the First Combat Form and releasing the Dual Wing Shield, it will help with balance, increasing Movement Speed by 10%, and allowing for short-distance high-speed gliding, with a maximum glide height of ten meters and a maximum distance of 100 meters, except in special circumstances such as high altitudes or extremely steep peaks.”
“An additional two thousand Standard Energy will be consumed, and at least five kilograms of composite material with an Enhancement Level above 5 must be prepared, along with a type of high-purity material, such as the Dark Magic Core. The modification effect will include both mode A and B, enhancing the average Enhancement Level of the Feathered Shield, effectively resisting damage from Energy Weapons and Firestone High-Explosive Weapons. Additionally, the edges of the wings will possess extreme physical sharpness, allowing for cutting attacks when the Feathered Shield is released in battle!”
“Damn!”
Lin Yuan was truly shocked. Although he had long known that using more Modification Points for a single enhancement would be impressive, he never imagined it would be this extraordinary. It was truly surprising.
This was a significant opportunity; however, this modification mode was undoubtedly extravagant. For instance, the Dark Magic Core was not something just anyone could use casually. Even in Mechanical City, only those elite families' Mechanical Warriors would have such privileges.
Taking a deep breath inwardly, Lin Yuan immediately retrieved a low-grade Dark Magic Core from his Energy Engine storage space and selected the modification mode option. He was taking a considerable risk; if a Mutant arrived within these fifteen minutes, he would be in serious trouble. However, he had no choice; nothing in this world was perfect. He had to take the risk!
As soon as Lin Yuan entered this modification process, he fell into a deep sleep state, completely unaware of what was happening outside. In fact, the high-ranking Mutants at the Sea King Underground Base reacted quickly; they had already sealed off all entrances and exits to the base and called for assistance from Mutant bases worldwide. In no time, at least a hundred Battle Machines converged from all directions, including a Sea Swallow Fighter that could rival Mouse One.
However, due to the distance involved, even the nearest and fastest Battle Machine would take two hours to arrive.
At that same time, the Sea King Base was entangled with hundreds of Mutant Guards who began a cautious full-scale search under the leadership of several Elite Hunters. Despite their large numbers, they were still clearly outmatched in this vast maze-like Underground Base. Progressing even slightly toward Lin Yuan's location in the Sixth Zone would take considerable time.
In this situation, Lin Yuan's Dual Wing Shield modification was steadily progressing.
Fifteen minutes later, once the entire modification was complete, Lin Yuan awoke from his deep sleep. The first thing he did was immediately contact Claire stationed three kilometers away to confirm the situation in the Sixth Zone. Only after confirming that no Mutants had appeared for now did he begin to inspect his newly modified Feathered Shield.
He couldn't help but marvel at how incredible Modification Points were. Lin Yuan was curious about what technological means Mechanical City used to produce Modification Points. This must be one of Mechanical Life's most core and secretive top secrets.
However, if viewed from another perspective, it wasn't so strange. It was akin to how Carbon-Based Life forms might struggle to understand the wonders of Mechanical Life regarding Modification Points; similarly, Mechanical Life might find many mysteries within Carbon-Based Life—like how an embryo could grow into a Ginseng Tree.
What seemed obvious from one perspective could appear bizarre from another!
Thus, there was no need for astonishment; there were countless unsolved mysteries in this world. Existence itself is reasonable; if something were to emerge that made sense of it all, that would indeed be troublesome. Lin Yuan wasn't a scientist; he had no interest or mood for such things. What mattered to him were only those things he currently possessed and those he needed to master in the future—anything that affected his interests.
For instance, his newly successfully modified Dual Wing Shield appeared unremarkable at first glance if not activated. However, once released, two oval-shaped Feathered Shields emerged on either side of his Mechanical Body—perfectly sized—and their edges were indeed sharp enough to easily tear through a Mutant's Exoskeleton Armor. It was both offensive and defensive—convenient and swift!
With the appearance of this Dual Wing Shield, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body's average defense increased by three points to reach a total of one point—a significant improvement indeed.
After getting familiar with the surroundings for a few seconds, Lin Yuan immediately set off, aiming for the lowest level of the Sea King Base, where he had discovered the Mutant Robot.
He was going to give these Mutants a little surprise!
With Claire by his side, Lin Yuan burst out of the Sixth Zone, only to be met by five Mutant Guards who were on high alert and searching for him.
In an instant, the five Mutants let out loud cries to report Lin Yuan's location while quickly seeking cover and opening fire with all their might.
They weren't foolish; after witnessing the recently killed Mutants, they already knew that Lin Yuan's ranged and melee attacks were extremely powerful. Thus, they aimed not for glory but merely to stall Lin Yuan temporarily.
However, they had no idea that in just a few short minutes, Lin Yuan had undergone a magnificent transformation!
Facing the intense barrage of attacks, Lin Yuan showed no intention of dodging. The Dual Wing Shield unfolded instantly like two wings. At the same time, his Mechanical Legs accelerated and jumped up. The gliding effect of the Feathered Shield activated immediately, allowing him to soar from above. In a flash, two bright blades followed a graceful spin, and within moments, the five Mutants found themselves decapitated.
The entire battle lasted less than three seconds before it concluded.
Quickly retrieving the Firestone ammunition from the five Mutants, Lin Yuan moved slightly and increased his speed, disappearing once again into the darkness ahead.
For the first time in his life, Lin Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of confidence! He could finally stop playing hide-and-seek! (To be continued.)
