Regardless of whether Lin Yuan remained calm or not, the 145 Native Mechanical Life forms led by Ruler Shrek were quite composed. They did not give him a chance to revel in joy. Ruler Shrek descended from above; it was an enormous and imposing figure, resembling a colossal gorilla with three heads. The complexity and intricacy of its Mechanical Body were astonishing, akin to a silk thread encountering a B-29 bomber.
With Lin Yuan's level 16 Mechanical Assembler skills, he was utterly unable to discern the origin or structural principles of even a single part of Ruler Shrek's Mechanical Body. It was far too advanced and luxurious.
After approaching Lin Yuan, Ruler Shrek spoke again, "Newborn Papaya, according to the sixth decree of the Peace Council, I need to conduct a full scan on you to determine if you are an adversary. Please open your Intellect."
"Uh—open my Intellect?"
In that moment, Lin Yuan was taken aback. How was this any different from what Snow Wind had done? However, he quickly reconsidered; given the power of these Mechanical Bodies, it was normal for them to do such things—even disassembling him completely would be reasonable. So he decided to go along with it; after all, his A180 Intelligent Brain System was dormant and wouldn’t yield any significant information.
However, what followed was not as Lin Yuan had anticipated. Ruler Shrek merely issued some command, and then a purple light appeared out of thin air, sweeping across Lin Yuan's entire Mechanical Body in an instant. Immediately afterward, the voice of his Intelligent Butler rang out. "Esteemed Ruler Shrek, the ninth scan is complete. No traces of Ancient Protozoan Virus detected; everything is safe. All attribute evaluations for Newborn Papaya have been generated: Intellect rated at F1 level—unsatisfactory; Mechanical Body rated at F1 level—unsatisfactory; integration degree between Intellect and Mechanical Body rated at F1 level—unsatisfactory; skills possessed rated at F1 level—unsatisfactory; bloodline inheritance skills rated at F-Level—unsatisfactory."
Amidst this series of unsatisfactory evaluations, Ruler Shrek had already turned back to his original position. The others around did not mock him either; after all, such results were quite normal. If all attributes had passed, that would have been strange.
"Very well, thank you for your hard work," Ruler Shrek said. "Now, Newborn Papaya, the Peace Council has decided to purchase all the information you possess for 100,000 Wandering Coins. Additionally, if anyone has questions, they will pay a reward ranging from 0 to 10,000 Wandering Coins. Do you wish to begin?"
"Yes, we can start."
Lin Yuan quickly replied, feeling invigorated because the outcome of this segment would directly impact his quality of life for hundreds of Mechanical Years to come. If he couldn’t find a way to leave, this would be the greatest wealth he could acquire in this Wanderer's Paradise—an opportunity that might never come again.
"Excellent. Please describe everything you know about the Mechanical Empire from twenty million years ago until now. However, personal matters can remain undisclosed unless someone asks about them."
"No problem; I understand!"
Lin Yuan began rapidly gathering various pieces of information within his Intellect while slowly revealing the mysterious behind-the-scenes knowledge he possessed. He spoke about the rebellion of the Puppet Mechanism twenty million years ago and how those powerful beings who had been enslaved revolted. He recounted how four out of the Nine Great Mechanical Cities were destroyed and described the current landscape dominated by the Dark Alliance, Light Council Alliance, and Mechanical Council Alliance.
In addition, he emphasized the development of Mechanical City, after all, he was the one who understood it best. He also spoke in great detail about the Dark Demon Race, including their war with Mechanical City, and so on.
However, despite Lin Yuan's desire to uncover more shocking information, this was truly the limit of what he knew.
Fortunately, these few pieces of news were crucial for Ruler Shrek and the Mechanical Life. In an instant, various voices of anger and sorrow echoed throughout the vast square.
"What? How infuriating! The powerful Mechanical Empire has actually collapsed? Those damned Puppet Mechanisms dared to rebel? Those wretched slaves actually dared to revolt?"
"This is unbelievable! Our initial attitude towards them was far too lenient. If we had been stricter, perhaps this wouldn't have happened!"
"Now I understand why we have been forgotten here. The Mechanical Empire has already fallen, and surely everyone who knew about the Exiled World has perished. My mentor, sob, you died such a tragic death!"
...
After a full minute, the Mechanical Life finally managed to control their emotions. Lin Yuan found this fascinating because although Puppet Mechanisms also experienced various emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—they were certainly not as exaggerated. In fact, they were somewhat rigid and mechanical. However, the emotional expressions of these Native Mechanical Bodies were very natural; their anger, sadness, regret, melancholy, and disappointment felt incredibly real.
"Very well, Newborn Papaya. You have provided us with the most important information and have thus earned 100,000 Wandering Coins. You can claim them from Administrator Valve later. Now, we will enter the question-and-answer session. All members of the Peace Council are eligible to ask questions. Who will go first?"
At this moment, Ruler Shrek spoke again to regain control of the situation.
"I'll go first. Newborn Papaya, I am F-Level Manager Mapping. I have three questions: Do you know which four Mechanical Cities were destroyed? Also, regarding Native Mechanical Life—oh, you mean the Dark Alliance—what cities do they control? And what exactly is this so-called Light Council Alliance? Thank you!"
The Administrator Mapping was busy at work, pulling out three enormous and unique Alloy jars, each filled with two thousand shiny circular objects. This was none other than the Wandering Coin.
Lin Yuan felt a surge of excitement, but unfortunately, he had no idea what the names of the Nine Great Mechanical Cities were. Had he known, he would have attended the History of Cosmic Life Development class at the Ninth Training Base, as this was basic knowledge, akin to knowing the capital city of a province.
"Uh, I apologize, Administrator Mapping sir. I only know there are nine Mechanical Cities, but I am not familiar with their specific names. However, I can describe their general locations. The four destroyed Mechanical Cities reportedly vanished, and their ruins are lost somewhere. As for my location in the Mechanical Council Alliance, we are situated within the Galactic System. The Native Mechanical Life in the Dark Alliance should be far away in another star system. Additionally, they are said to control the Dark Demon Race. As for the Light Council Alliance, it is formed by a coalition of seventeen powerful life races, but I do not know their exact location."
"I think I know where they are. If they control the Dark Demon Race, haha, where else could it be but at Moya Mechanical City near the Dale Star Rift? Since Moya was preserved during the war, its neighboring cities—Hell City and Prophet City—must have been preserved as well. I can even guess that it is either Hell Duke or his lineage that leads the Dark Alliance, as the Dark Demon Race is essentially an ultimate weapon developed by their family!" At this moment, a Native Mechanical Life laughed heartily. They had much more information than Lin Yuan, so with just a hint, they could deduce everything.
Another voice chimed in: “Newborn Papaya, I have a question as well. How did you arrive in this Exiled World? Your strength is too weak. If I remember correctly, the entrance to this Exiled World was fraught with danger; there were twelve nests of high-level Insectoids and three guarding Mechanical Dragons. With your strength—or even mine as a level executor—anyone who dared approach would be instantly turned to ash.”
“Uh—High-Level Insectoid? Mechanical Dragon? I didn’t see anything like that. I was being chased and accidentally wandered into this star domain. In this area, all the planets' resources have been plundered clean; even some stars have not escaped this fate. Then I found the Exiled World, which is essentially a massive dome.” Lin Yuan replied honestly, though he was deeply shocked inside. The mention of high-level Insectoids sounded terrifying, and those so-called Mechanical Dragons must be killing weapons in the mechanical world.
“A dome? You actually saw the dome? Incredible! Newborn Papaya, how did you pass through the dome's railgun matrix? That’s practically a miracle!”
“Uh, I—I have a Dark Magic Core. I discovered that this substance can disrupt the dome's sensors, allowing me to enter somewhat haphazardly. However, I've also tried that even with a Dark Magic Core, it only allows entry but not exit. Moreover, this core consumes a lot when entering the Exiled World.” Lin Yuan answered sincerely.
At that moment, those individuals became very excited and began discussing not how to escape but how to repair the dome's vulnerabilities. Could it be that they were involved in its creation? After listening for a while, Lin Yuan realized that most members of this Peace Council Alliance were former managers and guards of the original Exiled World, along with a minority of prisoners. Their original task had been to maintain the dome, so even after twenty million years had passed, their ingrained sense of duty had not faded.
Finally, when they realized that further discussion was pointless, everything came to an end. (To be continued...)
