“Five Times Variant?”
Lin Yuan began to understand. Claire had mentioned something similar before. The Ancient Protozoan Virus was like the Earthlings facing an alien army—difficult to kill, rapidly reproducing, and capable of continuous evolution, growing stronger with each iteration.
In this Exiled Subworld, the easiest to deal with would be the first and second variants of the Ancient Protozoan Virus. The Mechanical Dragon Helphis could easily eliminate such Original Parasite Virus Variants.
However, when it came to the third variant and the Four Times Mutant, they would be utterly powerless, let alone the Five Times Variant.
Moreover, according to this standard, could the Ancient Protozoan Virus undergo a sixth or seventh mutation?
Indeed, the depths of this Subworld were profound!
“Alright, my second question is, what are we going to do next?”
This time, Lin Yuan focused on a more practical situation.
“Hehe, that's right! There are countless secrets in this exiled Subworld. Why worry about your pudding when preserving your life is paramount? As far as I know, our Peace Council Base will head towards the Dark Council. You must have guessed it; not only our base but also the Dark Council Base and the Allied Council Base. These three major bases were all transformed from a single Elite Mechanical Dragon. According to Ruler Shrek, these three Elite Mechanical Dragons will combine into one giant Mechanical Dragon, becoming even more powerful. Then, the three bases will unite their forces to charge through the ars-9 Checkpoint, which is a critical node that once served as a protective center for the Subworld Exile Prison. There may be many crucial supplies stored there, and reportedly, there is also a wreckage of an Elite Mechanical Dragon. If we can repair this Elite Mechanical Dragon and combine it with the giant Mechanical Dragon, we could obtain a B-Class Mechanical Dragon. That would be a cause for celebration because a B-Class Mechanical Dragon is far more powerful than an Elite Mechanical Dragon, capable of charging through numerous third-level variants of the Ancient Parasite. Uh, that’s what we’re going to do next. Alright, you have one last question.”
Patroller Black Whirlwind answered quite thoroughly; it was unclear whether he was bored or had other reasons.
“Thank you. My final question is, what should I pay attention to?” Lin Yuan asked again.
“Well, this question is a bit tricky. Since you are too weak, there are countless things you need to be cautious about. Given your current situation, I have three suggestions. First, after the three Mechanical Dragons combine into a giant dragon, its size will become enormous. Additionally, lacking one more Elite Mechanical Dragon, certain areas of this giant dragon will have weak defensive gaps. This requires members from each base's council to defend those positions or control some powerful long-range weapons for attacks. Therefore, you can seek out Administrator Valve and ask him to assign you some tasks in that regard. After all, at this time, having an extra cannon fodder is something everyone welcomes.”
“The second suggestion is that if you can complete some simple defense tasks to gain energy for normal combat, I recommend you find ways to master higher-level Mechanical Assembly skills. Because if you survive the battle at ars-9 Checkpoint, once we discover that wreckage of the Mechanical Dragon, a large-scale Mechanical Assembly repair task will soon commence. Although you are not very skilled, as long as you can contribute even a little during this assembly and repair process, even if you don’t earn high rewards, at least others will begrudgingly acknowledge your value. Otherwise, who knows which big guy might take offense and squash you with one step.”
“As for the third suggestion, assuming your luck holds out and you survive until we successfully assemble the B-Class Mechanical Dragon, I suggest you find ways to hide during upcoming battles—squeeze into any gaps. Surviving for as long as possible would be a gain; haha, what a pitiful fellow.”
Once Patroller Black Whirlwind finished speaking, he exited the meeting room and cut off the communication link.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan directly entered the Half-Folded Space. Although the information conveyed by Patroller Black Whirlwind felt quite despairing, who knew what would happen before the last moment?
The space within this Half-Folded Space was as large as twelve football fields but overall shaped like a piece of white paper folded in half at a five-degree angle. From the perspective of that fold as the first viewpoint coordinate, all edges of space in front and on both sides were voids—like an invisible wall that appeared very unfamiliar.
Even Lin Yuan could sense that this space was not very stable. It was fine to daydream here, but if he were to engage in combat or sniper training, it would surely collapse in an instant.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yuan asked, "Hey, Claire, can I enter the Source Code World? I want to conduct sniper training."
This idea came from the suggestion of Patroller Black Whirlwind. Since he couldn't engage in close combat with his current physique, he needed to find a way to improve his ranged attack capabilities without drawing too much attention and also to earn some energy for himself.
Originally, after merging with the F-Level Bloodline and acquiring a series of abilities including the Ghost Bloodline Title, he had already reached the sixth-level Tremor standard for snipers.
However, this sixth-level Tremor standard was not just a rigid numerical value; it required extensive training to perfect. Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, he would only barely reach the Fourth-Level Oscillation. At that level, he would be far from enough against numerous skilled opponents.
"Beep! Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, the a80 Punisher First Generation System is at your service. Sister Claire is currently in seclusion and cannot receive messages. However, your request can be fulfilled. Please list the specific parameters for the training space you need to simulate. As long as the difficulty does not exceed A-Level, it can be completed within ten seconds."
"Oh, um... let's start by simulating the difficulty of Fourth-Level Vibration Standard for sniper training."
Lin Yuan was still not very confident and had no idea how effective his last-minute preparations would be.
"Beep! Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, the Source Code World has the ability to slow down and accelerate the flow of time. Please set the time flow rate for the training space. Based on your Energy Reserve and the stability of your current Half-Folded Space as well as external environmental standards, you can set a double time flow rate."
"Agreed!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel excited; he hadn't expected that the Source Code World had such an advantage.
Just as he issued this command, he felt energy being deducted from his Energy Engine. Immediately afterward, slender black and white lines appeared in his Half-Folded Space, constantly intertwining and changing shape as if countless invisible knitting needles were weaving something.
Even more bizarrely, these black and white lines could completely construct the core essence of that Half-Folded Space without leaving a trace or even a hint of fluctuation.
Having gained much experience now, Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel at this scene. Although it looked simple, it involved dimensional spaces that could boggle countless minds. Perhaps every single line here had undergone billions of calculations to be determined.
It was truly breathtaking!
No wonder this was created by the former Nine Great Mechanical Goddesses!
In an instant, what was once a rough and unstable Half-Folded Space transformed into a cube composed of black and white colors, measuring two meters in length, width, and height. It looked exquisitely crafted. When Lin Yuan lightly touched it with his Mechanical Arms, he suddenly found himself in another independent space.
"Beep! Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, this is the training space you requested. The area here is 00 square kilometers with a dimensional area of 00 kilometers. It features a Magnetic Field and includes sound, atmosphere, light effects, radiation lines, and 231 types of obstacles. The sniper rifle you will use is the Mechanical Empire D-Class Standard Sniper Rifle. The qualification requirement for training is that you must kill one hundred D-Class Mechanical Warriors located five hundred kilometers away and one hundred Raptor Assault Fighters as well as one thousand D-Class Drones within thirty seconds. Only upon completing this standard will it indicate that your Fourth-Level Vibration Standard has been achieved. Shall we begin training immediately?"
……
“……”
Lin Yuan was at a loss for words. What was going on? Why was it so difficult? Was this really the Fourth-Level Vibration Standard? Damn it!
Despite his frustration, he immediately began his training. There was no other choice. He activated the Third-Level Special Dynamic Radar and also unlocked the Ghost Eye bloodline title. This title had three active characteristic skills:
Ghost Perception, which allowed him to sense the target's movements more clearly;
Ghost Simulation, which required tactical skills to execute, primarily predicting the target's next steps and further movement trajectories. However, for Lin Yuan, this was something he had to give up on;
The third skill was Ghostly Critical Strike, which doubled the damage of his Sniper Rifle—a rather underwhelming feature.
That wasn’t enough. The real boost for Lin Yuan came from the precise characteristics he grasped after merging with the F-Level Bloodline, a lethal technique that increased his Secondary Vibration Standard.
Additionally, there was Lin Yuan's a80 Punisher First Generation System. This Intelligent Brain System's high-speed reaction capability allowed him to respond faster and more accurately.
With everything ready, the training space underwent an immediate transformation. Lin Yuan's Third-Level Dynamic Auditory Radar quickly detected and locked onto an Enemy Hovering Warship located a thousand kilometers away.
“Attention! Attention! The enemy has mobilized. You will have thirty seconds to counterattack. If you exceed thirty seconds or if any enemy approaches within five hundred kilometers of your location, your position will be locked by the enemy Battleship's Main Cannon and destroyed within 0000 seconds. The mission will fail!” To be continued…
