Living a life devoid of resources was tough, Lin Yuan sighed as he prepared to embark on his first transaction since taking office as Executive.
The Material Information Transmission Trading System was located next to the Energy Source Tower, shaped like a semicircle. When Lin Yuan accessed the management options in his Intellect, a white light slowly rose, accompanied by a gentle voice echoing in his mind.
"Esteemed Executive of Sub-base S-5, welcome to the ninth generation Material Information Transmission Trading System of Mechanical City. Please select the type of service you require. This System offers both free and paid services. Information transmission and material trading fall under free services, while citizen transportation, latest information collection, and data inquiries are paid services!"
"Damn, this is surprisingly user-friendly!" Lin Yuan thought to himself as he placed the Mechanical Formic Acid he had collected onto the platform. He still had several kilograms left, and according to Mechanical City's purchasing price, he should be able to obtain 640 Mechanical Coins. He also wanted to check his credit status; currently, he was at negative ten thousand points, with two thousand points left before bankruptcy—so it wasn't as dire as it could have been.
The trading System worked remarkably fast; within less than a second, it provided a conclusion.
"Esteemed Executive of Sub-base S-5, the material you are trading is classified as E-Class Standard Supplies purchased by Mechanical City. The purchase price is 0.1 Mechanical Coin per gram, resulting in a total of 640 Mechanical Coins. Upon verification, your account's credit limit has exceeded negative ten thousand points. Would you like to use the remaining Mechanical Coins to repay your debts? Alternatively, you can choose to postpone repayment and purchase other materials directly with Mechanical Coins."
Hearing this prompt, Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Mechanical City would unceremoniously use all his Mechanical Coins to settle his debts—now that would have been tragic!
Of course, these Mechanical Coins were meant for purchasing other materials. Lin Yuan eagerly began fantasizing about the powerful equipment he could buy. However, when he chose to purchase materials, a harsh reality struck him and made him fully aware of the price levels in Mechanical City.
"Esteemed Executive of Sub-base S-5, given your current rank and total amount of Mechanical Coins, you can purchase the following three items: a) F-Class Energy Block, containing 100 Standard Energy per block, priced at 0 Mechanical Coin; b) F-Class Mechanical Warrior Standard Activity Parts, used for replacing F1 to F4 level Mechanical Warrior's easily worn-out Parts, priced at 0 Mechanical Coin; c) F-Class Energy Laser Gun Standard Replacement Parts, used to enhance the range, power, and cooling time of Laser Guns, priced at 1000 Mechanical Coins."
"Damn... this is outrageous!"
Lin Yuan cursed inwardly; that was over two thousand Oceans! And he could only buy these three items. Even these scraps were ridiculously expensive—no wonder this trading System service was free; they must be cutting corners here.
Despite his immense frustration, Lin Yuan reconsidered and eliminated option b. His current Mechanical Body was still in decent condition, and from what he saw in that Three-Dimensional Projection regarding replacement Parts—it seemed inferior to what he had modified himself. On the other hand, the standard replacement Part for the Laser Gun was a model he had never seen before; it looked promising at first glance—no wonder it cost one thousand Mechanical Coins.
After making his decision, Lin Yuan purchased two parts for the Laser Gun, deducting two thousand Ocean from his account. With the remaining six hundred Mechanical Coins, he bought three Energy Blocks, which were urgently needed; at least until his Energy Source Tower was restored, he had no choice but to rely on this method of purchase.
Fortunately, the Energy Blocks were not too expensive, and he could still afford them.
Once the entire transaction was completed, the white light on the platform began to slowly rotate. In just three seconds, the Mechanical Formic Acid vanished, replaced by the items Lin Yuan had purchased. The whole process was incredibly simple and quick, leaving him in awe of the technological advancements in Mechanical City. It was no wonder they could colonize the entire Galactic System; compared to Earth's former technology, it was like night and day!
With this sense of wonder, Lin Yuan casually picked up the Energy Blocks and one of the Laser Gun parts.
The three Energy Blocks were each about the size of a matchbox, a silvery-brown color that looked quite elegant, and they could be absorbed immediately—very convenient. As for the two Laser Gun parts, they appeared ordinary at first glance, but based on Lin Yuan's countless experiences with disassembly, he knew they were quite different.
This difference was directly reflected in their Enhancement Levels; both parts had an Enhancement Level of 89, nearly half higher than the Laser Gun he currently possessed. Moreover, these two parts were crucial components responsible for the Energy Conversion Generator within the Laser Gun, making their benefits obvious.
After carefully reviewing all the parameters and various diagrams of these two parts, Lin Yuan felt confident. Without hesitation, he immediately began installing them onto a Laser Gun and a Sniper Rifle. Improving his combat power was something he had always sought after.
This task was hardly challenging; it took him only a minute to complete.
Lin Yuan internally praised himself as he finished up and raised his weapon. At that moment, the Intellect Exiles-5 unexpectedly emerged from somewhere, exclaiming in astonishment, “What? You actually know how to repair and assemble? And you seem quite skilled at it—this is incredible!”
Seeing this guy made Lin Yuan furious; without even looking at him, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
However, that fellow seemed completely unfazed; after all, he was merely a signal now and not a Mechanical Body—he wouldn't die.
“Hey, hey, hey! Esteemed Executive, please don't be angry. I apologize for my previous mistakes. Can you tell me your repair and assembly level? If your level is high enough, I think we might have a chance to make a fortune together!”
Hearing the condescending words of the Exile-5, Lin Yuan felt a stir in his heart. Could it be that he couldn't see his own status? But then again, he was a Fifth-Class Citizen and an Exile; here, he was nothing more than a prisoner. How could he have the right to check the status of someone like this Executive? It was likely that he didn't have that authority.
As for the so-called opportunity to get rich, Lin Yuan scoffed at it now. Damn it, he had fallen into this pit because he was tempted by the prospect of easy gains. Did they really expect him to fall for the same trick again?
Firing another shot, Lin Yuan paid no attention to the Exile-5 behind him who was shouting and trying to persuade him endlessly. He simply left the Sub-base, determined to return to the Fortress Base, a thousand kilometers to the south. He intended to move all his belongings there. Even though they were outdated relics from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, it was still better than being empty-handed and broke!
