"Dammit, Jellyfish! Even if you can't stand me, there's no need to be so petty! I curse you a thousand times!"
King Luo protested loudly, but he unceremoniously dove into the energy weapons and artillery collected by Jellyfish, recklessly gathering them.
However, Jellyfish was clearly more cunning. Just as King Luo managed to collect a large number of items, Jellyfish activated some system, and soon the items King Luo had gathered became transparent and ultimately vanished into thin air.
"Hmph! I was already prepared for you! If you want to get something from me, you'd better bring enough Mission Points!" Jellyfish said smugly. Turning to the somewhat astonished Lin Yuan, he added, "Don't take it personally. In this Training Base, Mission Points are everything. These firearms and Energy Cannons are what I've spent a lot of time and effort accumulating. I'm not boasting; in this Training Base, among those below e-Class, there are hardly any who can compete with me in this regard."
"Papaya, don't listen to this guy's concept-switching nonsense. Sure, when it comes to your mechanical body that’s as dumb as a hen, no one can compare. But do you have the guts to face off against Arena in a one-on-one? Hmph! If I remember correctly, your combat ranking among E-Class Students doesn't even make it into the top three hundred. Even some e1-level Hunters could easily defeat you," King Luo couldn't help but expose Jellyfish's flaws in frustration.
"King Luo, you're the real fool here for switching concepts. How could I be stupid enough to duel with a melee class in Arena? I'm a ranged support class, alright? You ungrateful wretch—have you forgotten how many times I've saved your sorry life during past hunting modes?"
"Hah! You idiot! Why don't you remember that in those hunting modes, Z-19 and I were always at the front shielding you, the coward? Why don’t you charge in with us?"
"Damn it! You moron! How dare you ask me, a ranged fighter, to charge in front? Has your intellect been invaded by Swamp Alien dung?"
...
In an instant, King Luo and Jellyfish were at each other's throats. Lin Yuan couldn't interject, so he ignored them and began examining Jellyfish's extensive collection.
It had to be said that Jellyfish's collection was indeed impressive; there were hardly any worthless items to be seen. Notably, these collections weren't just flashy items amassed through wealth; they were carefully gathered and organized by Jellyfish. Those unfamiliar with the intricacies would only see a pile of complex Parts or individual firearms.
But Lin Yuan could tell that even a single firearm Part here had received Jellyfish's meticulous attention. The half-finished and defective items aside, every finished piece was quite powerful and featured unique design concepts.
Although Lin Yuan was not particularly skilled in firearm modifications, he could still sense the effort and value behind them.
Here, there were plenty of firearms that caught Lin Yuan's interest, but he did not rush to make a selection. Instead, he carefully examined the modification concepts, taking his time to scrutinize each piece. By the time he finished reviewing all of Jellyfish's collection, several hours had passed.
During this process, King Luo had already left, and Jellyfish did not come to disturb Lin Yuan.
"Sir, may I assist you with anything?"
As Lin Yuan concluded his examination, he heard a very pleasant voice. The owner of this voice was a Mechanical Body standing three meters tall, resembling a slender wasp. It had four Mechanical Legs and four Mechanical Arms, but since these Mechanical Arms and Legs were paired together, it appeared quite graceful. Its mechanical head was elongated and layered, with two large eyes—or rather, two enormous light sources of pale green.
For some reason, upon seeing this Mechanical Body, Lin Yuan immediately thought of the mechanical maid that came with the Mechanical House.
In the past, Lin Yuan had a certain admiration for the concept of a mechanical maid. However, he now understood that in Mechanical City, what was referred to as a mechanical maid was entirely different from what Earth Humans imagined.
These mechanical maids were neither Mechanical Warriors nor manufactured Mechanical Soldiers; they were captured Mechanical Creatures from certain mechanical planets. They resembled the infected mechanical mutants found on Earth, formed from a fusion of parts of Mechanical Bodies and biological entities.
For instance, the mechanical maid Lin Yuan saw at that moment was likely a mutated spider or a mutated Anzhela Venom Bee that had been transformed into a mechanical form. After being captured and specially cultivated, they could handle many tedious tasks and serve as excellent assistants.
"Thank you! May I ask where Mr. Jellyfish is?"
Lin Yuan replied politely; it was necessary. While etiquette might not matter much at the lower levels of Mechanical City, it was crucial among the upper echelons, especially for members of prominent families. Thus, these details could not be overlooked.
"You're welcome. Mr. Jellyfish is currently having afternoon tea. He instructed me to let you know that once you have finished your selections, you can go find him," the mechanical maid said gently with a nod. However, this statement left Lin Yuan momentarily stunned—afternoon tea? Surely there must be some mistake.
Curious, Lin Yuan allowed the mechanical maid to lead the way. After passing through several enormous rooms, he finally arrived at the sight of Jellyfish enjoying 'afternoon tea.'
Honestly, Lin Yuan had never seen anything like it. Jellyfish stood in the center of a massive insulated pool, and it was impossible to see what was inside. However, directly above the pool were thirty electric stun guns, which were currently unleashing a furious barrage of lightning that crackled and struck down into the pool. The electric arcs danced wildly around Jellyfish's entire mechanical body, creating a rather terrifying spectacle.
Yet, Jellyfish seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it. Upon seeing Lin Yuan, he immediately called out enthusiastically, "Papaya! Come try this! I spent a thousand Mission Points to buy this Finest Plasma, and it's absolutely delicious! I've also added ten kilograms of Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Granules, ten kilograms of Essence King Water, one kilogram of Bohmian King Cobra venom, and fifty grams of Storm Dragon Snake feces. Oh, it feels like I'm flying!"
Lin Yuan was left dumbfounded. What? Is this afternoon tea? This is a recipe for suicide!
Could Jellyfish not have such an extreme taste?
"Uh, maybe I'll pass. I just remembered I have some unfinished business—"
Lin Yuan resolved to steer clear of disaster; this guy was definitely not normal!
"Hey, hey, hey! Papaya, do you have a soul?"
At that moment, the very pleased Jellyfish suddenly asked this bizarre question. Fortunately, Lin Yuan had learned from King Luo that in Mechanical City, the most basic requirement to qualify as a true noble was to possess a complete soul. (To be continued.)
