When the D1-level Mechanical Instructor left, Lin Yuan felt a moment of confusion, as if he were stepping into a middle school for the first time in his previous life—nervous and at a loss, surrounded by unfamiliarity.
Fortunately, this state of mind quickly faded. Just as Lin Yuan was pondering how to greet his colleagues, another burst of laughter rang out. It came from a Mechanical Warrior adorned with the image of a mechanical eagle etched onto its body. If Lin Yuan remembered correctly, this was the same individual whose laughter he had heard earlier.
“Ha! Ten negative reviews, my friend. You must be having a rough time. But I’m really curious—did you really rise from the commoners? You look quite terrible! Of course, no offense intended. I’m 190 from the Mechanical Eagle Family. Nice to meet you! May I take a look at your past?”
The Mechanical Warrior named 190 approached Lin Yuan with an air of familiarity, striding confidently before him. With a tone reminiscent of incantation, he declared loudly, “A180 Punisher, I need his past information!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle light rose into the air and enveloped Lin Yuan entirely, resembling a golden bell jar. Countless streams of data and question marks flowed across the surface of this light shield.
Initially, the data flowing on the shield was abundant, primarily consisting of surface-level information about Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Body—dimensions, Enhancement Level, design features, and other visible attributes.
However, as it delved deeper into the internal workings of Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Body, the question marks multiplied until ultimately there was no data to be found at all, forming one gigantic question mark instead.
A few seconds later, the light shield dissipated into thin air and formed an ethereal silhouette that spoke in a melodious voice: “I’m sorry, sir. My access rights are insufficient.”
“What?”
190 exclaimed in disbelief, “This is impossible! Could it be that his Intelligent Brain System is also A180 Punisher? But… but…”
“Hmph! Ignorant and narrow-minded! 190, do you really think that the Elite Warrior Training Camp of the Empire is a place anyone can just stroll into? If he has the qualifications to enter, he’s certainly not inferior to you!” At that moment, another Mechanical Warrior stepped forward with a cold snort. His Mechanical Body was a blue and white mix, appearing slender and standing nearly eight meters tall. This Mechanical Body was modeled after a Twin-Winged Cheetah, undoubtedly making him an agile Mechanical Warrior. The sharp double blades he carried on his back glimmered ominously; they were precise Blue Light Weapons.
The emblem etched onto his Mechanical Body depicted a mechanical Twin-Winged Cheetah.
"Hello. I am King Luo, currently serving as the Captain. Welcome to my Thirteenth Brigade. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Although I have no particular interest in you, you must understand that your arrival is five Mechanical Years late, which has caused our Thirteenth Brigade to fall far behind in various aspects. Our performance in all comprehensive assessments has been dismal. Therefore, I hope you can keep up with the pace as much as possible. Now, please introduce yourself."
"Yes, thank you!" Lin Yuan quickly replied. He had not realized that this Elite training was not randomly generated but recruited every ten years, similar to school classes on Earth. As a result, he had arrived five years late for various reasons.
"My name is Papaya, number 19011. I am currently at e1 level and specialize in Mechanical Assembly. I previously served as an Executive at s-15 Sub-base but failed. I also joined the Mercenary Association but did not achieve much there, so I hope to learn from everyone."
Lin Yuan introduced himself formally. He understood that the other nine members of the Thirteenth Brigade were entirely different from his previous companions in the Mercenary Group. Each person here came from prominent families, so it was best not to offend them. As for any notions of face-slapping or dramatic reversals, he knew better than to entertain such thoughts; he lacked the protagonist's halo, and they were not foolish side characters who would engage in class conflicts over trivial matters. Moreover, these individuals from influential families possessed terrifying overall strength and resources at their disposal; even if Lin Yuan wanted to confront them, he wouldn't stand a chance.
However, after Lin Yuan finished his introduction, no arrogant individual stepped forward to mock or belittle him with some cliché drama. The remaining seven Mechanical Warriors briefly introduced themselves without revealing their numbers and then turned to leave, including the one numbered 190.
Their departure was peculiar; they walked directly to a platform and seemingly activated something before being teleported away.
"Alright, as the Captain of the Thirteenth Brigade, I will now introduce you to the basic situation here. However, this requires you to pay 100 Mission Points."
At this moment, King Luo said calmly. Lin Yuan was taken aback—wasn't this extortion? Just as he thought this, King Luo explained: "This is not extortion; it's standard practice at the Imperial Training Camp. Once you arrive here, you will be cut off from the outside world. Neither Mechanical Coins nor Merit Points can circulate here; only Mission Points can be used. The energy we need daily, weapon repairs, Mechanical Body maintenance, and purchasing various Parts all require Mission Points for payment. In this regard, everyone who enters here is treated equally. The previous training mission was not an assessment but an opportunity for all Target Students to earn Mission Points. Do you understand?"
"So you're quite foolish for thinking about conserving energy when such a great opportunity exists. Didn't you thoroughly review that mission? At the very least, shouldn't you have grasped the basic mission simulation? In fact, you could have completed the mission with 0 Mission Points spent; therefore, you should have fought hard against those Mechanical Insects to earn at least 10,000 Mission Points for your expenses over the next month because the next opportunity like this will only come in a month and will significantly increase in difficulty. If you don't have enough Mission Points to purchase various items or study relevant materials before then, I can imagine that you'll likely face a fate of poor reviews."
King Luo spoke calmly, but Lin Yuan felt a storm brewing inside him; he nearly cursed out loud—wasn't this a scam?
Fortunately, Lin Yuan managed to calm down in an instant; there was no point in dwelling on losses—the key was that he could not afford to lose any more.
Thus, without hesitation, he chose to trade Mission Points with King Luo.
"Very well, now I will introduce you to all the basics of the Training Base. After I finish, you may ask up to ten questions that fall within the scope. For any additional questions, you will need to pay ten Mission Points for each one. Note that this is the normal mode of the Training Base."
"First of all, our Training Base is not the only Elite level Training Base in the entire empire. In fact, there are nine other Training Bases. In the overall ranking, our Training Base is ranked last. The other nine Training Bases are the Punisher Training Base, the Guardian Training Base, and the Judgment Training Base. These three are particularly special, as they train future Punishers, Guardians, and Judges. Among them, Punishers and Guardians are quite unique; they are rare specimens of our Mechanical Life. The remaining six Training Bases are slightly inferior and do not have ranked codes, but every three years there is a competition to determine their specific rankings. From d0004 to d0010, whichever Training Base has the strongest overall strength will receive the corresponding ranking code. Thus, all seven of our Training Bases compete fiercely. However, this ranking has not changed for over a thousand years. Except for the top three Training Bases, d0004's overall performance has always been far ahead of the second place, and so on. Our d0010 Training Base remains at the bottom after a millennium, so do not expect any external rankings."
"However, within our d0010 Training Base, there are still various rankings. You know that every ten Mechanical Years, the empire selects suitable Elite Mechanical Warriors from all mechanical citizens and allocates them based on various data. Naturally, the top-ranking bases among our seven can recruit the largest number and highest quality of Target Students. What remains for us in d0010 are all those who have been eliminated—misfits and rejects. Even so, each batch of selected Elite Mechanical Warriors can number over a thousand, divided into one hundred thirty-two Squads, with ten members in each. Of course, there are also those who were eliminated ten years ago known as Repeaters. Do you understand what that means? It refers to individuals like you who entered the Training Base five years late; they generally cannot pass the assessment held every ten years. When we move into the second phase, which is e-level, you will still be forced to remain at e1 level. This is what we call a Repeater. By the way, no matter how hard you try here, you will not be promoted automatically; you must pass assessments to level up. This creates a certain phenomenon; for example, after 100 years, we will have graduated from this Training Base and successfully transitioned to d1 level as Mechanical Knights, while you will still be stuck at e1 level. This is not me mocking you; such situations do occur in the Training Base, especially when reaching e6 or e7 levels where Repeaters are everywhere—they are destined to become cowards!"
