Honestly, the surname of this Earth woman left Lin Yuan quite surprised. It wasn't just her ordinary E6-level strength evaluation, but rather the fact that sixty percent of her body was mechanically modified. This made Lin Yuan wonder, could she still be considered human?
While Lin Yuan was lost in this private contemplation, Thomas approached with a beaming smile, like a courteous gentleman.
"Hello, Wansdell. It is truly an honor to meet you here."
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't recognize you. May I ask why you are here?" The woman named Vansdell remained unfazed, her expression indifferent. Her gaze lingered mostly on Lin Yuan, clearly indicating that she found Lin Yuan, who seemed more powerful and enigmatic than Thomas, to be the one worth paying attention to.
"Uh, please don't misunderstand. We mean no harm!" Thomas quickly interjected, showing no signs of embarrassment. "In fact, a hundred years ago, I applied to join the Viper Mercenary Corps, and you were the examiner at that time. It was your earnest teachings that gave me the courage to persevere in the face of countless dangers and never abandon my beliefs..."
"Enough about your intentions!" Vansdell subtly furrowed her brow and looked back at Lin Yuan. "Sir, are you a mercenary?"
"Oh, well then, let me answer!" At this moment, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile inwardly. No wonder Thomas praised the Viper Mercenary Corps so highly; it turned out there was this connection.
"First of all, we mean no harm. Secondly, we are lost. Thirdly, we want to return to Mechanical City. I remember that this place has a sub-base of Mechanical City that should have teleportation capabilities. Fourthly, we are mercenaries."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, the woman slightly tilted her head and scrutinized him once more before saying, "I'm afraid the S-15 Sub-base was destroyed twelve Mechanical Years ago. Therefore, you cannot return to Mechanical City via the Transport Platform. However, if you can provide reasonable identification and guarantees, we at the Viper Mercenary Corps wouldn't mind giving you a ride for a fee since we will soon conclude our mission here and head back to Mechanical City."
"That's wonderful! No problem at all! Thank you so much! If Wansdell could issue a sub-Mercenary Mission, we would gladly assist as well. Rest assured, our team's strength is absolutely formidable!"
Before Lin Yuan could make a decision, Thomas had already enthusiastically agreed without any conditions.
"Please don't be too optimistic; I am not responsible for this matter. Follow me!" Vansdell said no more and swiftly turned towards the nearby star patrol ship.
At that moment, Thomas finally remembered Lin Yuan's presence and awkwardly chuckled, "Captain, you don't mind, do you?"
"Not at all. Since we have the Fair Wind Ship, why not take advantage of it?" Lin Yuan replied with a smile. Although he had enough energy stored to fly back to Mechanical City, the journey would undoubtedly be arduous. If they encountered star-level pirates, it would be troublesome. However, he wasn't in a hurry to return to Mechanical City, so it didn't matter much.
As for figuring out why the S-15 Sub-base was damaged and where Gatekeeper and the others had gone, that wasn't important. Lin Yuan wasn't the type to seek revenge without reason; as long as he didn't run into them, he wouldn't care. What he needed most right now was some quiet time to digest the gains from his previous experiences in the Dark Nebula. Additionally, he needed to find out Claire's current situation and eventually head to Mechanical City for the so-called Elite training.
In short, Lin Yuan preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble and wouldn't engage in any antics.
At this point, Lin Yuan and his two companions followed Vansdell to an interstellar patrol ship. Out of professional habit, he instinctively began scanning the six-tenths new vessel.
It's worth mentioning that in Mechanical City, ships capable of faster-than-light travel must meet high standards. Generally speaking, they can be divided into civilian and military categories. The civilian category typically includes Interstellar Transport Ships, interstellar patrol ships, interstellar guard ships, and Interstellar Exploration Ships. All five types of vessels are allowed to be equipped with various weapons without significant restrictions; as long as one has the capability, they can modify and assemble them freely. The military in Mechanical City never worries that these modified civilian starships could surpass their battleships in performance.
The military side is much more complex. Star Destroyers and Interstellar Battleships are standard battleships, along with many more hybrid battleships. Of course, the most terrifying are those battleships transformed from certain Mechanical Warriors; any one of them could dominate the Galactic System.
The Viper Mercenary Corps' interstellar patrol ship belonged to the civilian category—average performance but capable of continuous modifications. Lin Yuan quickly scanned it and discovered that the modifications on this interstellar patrol ship were extensive and comprehensive. It seemed to conceal some very powerful attack capabilities.
Given Lin Yuan's current level of modification expertise, the person who modified this patrol ship was quite impressive.
"Hey! Vansdell, who are they? Don't tell me there are other mercenaries coming here to stir up trouble on this desolate planet? Damn it! I still don't know what we're doing here! We're the Viper Mercenary Corps! It's been three whole months; it feels like we've been exiled! I need a fight—fight!"
At that moment, a voice like a bison's roar echoed from beneath the interstellar patrol ship. A burly man emerged from below deck; it seemed he had been repairing something. What truly caught Lin Yuan's attention was how strong this guy was—extremely strong.
He was a Caucasian with European ancestry, towering at three meters tall, bald-headed with a face resembling a marble sculpture—very three-dimensional. However, his eyes were peculiar, emitting a deep crimson glow like a demon's. Aside from that, his face could only be described as perfectly handsome.
Unlike Thomas, Thomas's arms had been enhanced to resemble those of Popeye's uncle, even more muscular than a Gorilla.
This giant's body was remarkably well-proportioned, lacking any explosive muscle bulk, yet he exuded an oppressive presence akin to that of a tank.
Most importantly, he had not undergone any mechanical modifications; there were no mechanical devices on his entire body, yet his attributes were astonishing.
"Perfectly Enhanced Carbon-Based Lifeform, Muscle Enhancement Level 45, Bone Enhancement Level 55, Maximum Burst Power 15, Profession: Brute Assault Specialist, Overall Strength Evaluation: D1 Level Ordinary."
This time, Lin Yuan couldn't help but retract his gaze. It was clear that the Viper Mercenary Corps truly harbored hidden talents. Just this one Bald Man alone, if he donned all his gear, would likely pose a challenge even for Lin Yuan. (To be continued.)
