The shock of the Troll Captain and the Kangaroo, along with the other Mercenaries, lasted only a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, various thoughts began to sprout among them. They were seasoned veterans, and without needing to guess, they all understood the unspoken ideas swirling in each other's minds.
As soon as Lin Yuan was teleported out of the Fighting Arena, the Troll Captain rushed forward, his voice exaggeratedly warm and friendly as he exclaimed, "This is truly a miracle! Brother Papaya, you have demonstrated a perfect peak showdown for us with your actions. Oh, this is simply a classic battle! I believe that years from now, it will be spoken of among all Mercenaries! You are undoubtedly a Heroic Figure who slays demons and a pride of the Troll Mercenary Team! Congratulations, brother! From now on, you are the third member of the Powerful Mercenaries in the Troll Mercenary Team, aside from me and J. Who dares to disagree? Who dares to harbor any ill thoughts? We'll take care of them together!"
True to his cunning nature, the Troll Captain's passionate praise was completely devoid of guilt. He seamlessly pulled Lin Yuan into the Troll Mercenary Team's fold under the guise of righteousness. It was a clever calculation; Lin Yuan's displayed strength was enough to suppress Thomas and Shield Warrior Bison. Moreover, he possessed the Azure Light Dagger, which was crucial. Even someone as powerful as Lord J did not have the right to wield such a weapon. Thus, bringing Lin Yuan on board would ensure that his strength would inevitably rise to match Lord J's over time, which was vital for expanding and upgrading the Troll Mercenary Team.
How could someone as shrewd as the Troll Captain fail to see this? He subtly pointed out that many were coveting Lin Yuan's Azure Light Dagger. The best course of action was to join the Troll Mercenary Team and share in the risks!
The Troll Captain's words caused Kangaroo and the others to change their expressions instantly. However, before they could react further, Lin Yuan calmly declined, saying, "Thank you, but for now, I do not wish to join any Mercenary Group. Let's leave it at that; thank you!"
The last "thank you" was directed at Lord J and Thomas in the distance, who were still somewhat dazed. Regardless of everything else, their performance warranted Lin Yuan's gratitude.
Lin Yuan turned to leave, but at that moment, Kangaroo Captain and several other powerful Mercenaries stepped forward to block his path with forced smiles. "Congratulations! You truly surprised us. It must feel great to play the pig eating the tiger. But do you think that after slapping our Kangaroo Team and SY Team in the face, you can just walk away? Cut the crap; I want that Azure Light Dagger. I'll give you five million Mechanical Coins for it—take it or leave it. If you agree, we all win. I can guarantee no one will dare bother you again under my name as Kangaroo Captain. Otherwise... well, think carefully!"
Hearing such blatant extortion made Lin Yuan feel a wave of disdain wash over him. As expected—dogs never change their ways—but they were being overly presumptuous. Though this Azure Light Dagger was of poor quality compared to an Assault Longsword, it could still fetch tens of millions of Mechanical Coins or even more; after all, it was priceless! That precious Dark Magic Core required D1-level Mechanical Warriors to fight in the Dark Demon Race's star domain just to obtain it—extremely rare!
Characters like Trolls, Lord J, and Kangaroo had no chance of ever coming into contact with such things.
"Thanks! My name is Papaya; remember it well. Also, I love trouble! If you're capable, come find me!" Lin Yuan retorted without holding back. He wasn't worried about Kangaroo's threats at all; if this were out in the wild, he wouldn't expose his Azure Light Dagger even if they killed him.
However, this was G-715 Sub-base; aside from the Fighting Arena, fighting was strictly prohibited. At most, Kangaroo and his crew could grind their teeth and throw some insults around—but would they dare bite him?
As long as Lin Yuan digested all those parts from the Integrated Information Vehicle, who would be chasing whom was still uncertain! He was confident that by then he could swiftly advance to F7 level. Coupled with an Assault Longsword and fully repaired Hurricane Hammer along with enough ammunition purchased—let them come! He would take down one if they sent one and two if they sent two!
"Make sure they die with their eyes wide open, etched in their memories for a lifetime! They'll carry the shadows into their next lives!"
"Alright, alright! Are you planning to hide like a turtle in this Sub-base for the rest of your life? Tsk tsk, what a clever calculation. But do you really think you can stay safe like this, you idiot? In less than six months, we'll find a way to force you out of here to complete missions. Do you believe me? The moment you step out of the Sub-base, you'll wish you were dead. Not even the King can save you then. You'll be finished. Just remember to beg me like Pug when that time comes!" Kangaroo laughed sinisterly as he left, and his threat was not without substance. It seemed he truly had a way to drive Lin Yuan out of the Sub-base within six months.
However, for Lin Yuan, six months was more than enough.
With a cold sneer in his heart, he did not linger and quickly departed.
The remaining two hundred thousand Mechanical Coins he had won from the gambling fights had already been credited to his temporary account in the Sub-base. This was a financial institution established by the Sub-base, distinct from Mechanical City, where all funds could circulate freely within g-715 Sub-base. Of course, they could also be withdrawn entirely, but Lin Yuan did not care about those Mechanical Coins. After all, he had once been an Executive in the Sub-base; despite his current plight, he had owned millions of Mechanical Coins before.
His most pressing issue now was to race against time!
Upon returning to the Assembly and Maintenance Center, Lin Yuan entered his Identification Number and immediately notified the Intelligent Butler to transport his Integrated Information Vehicle over. Then he opened the transparent garage and slipped inside; it was absolutely safe here with no disturbances. Regardless of how chaotic things were outside, stability within remained perfectly balanced.
First, Lin Yuan conducted a thorough cleanup, clearing away all the Mechanical Parts debris. Then he used some useless Mechanical Parts to seal up the torn openings of the Tank, even though he could have utilized those free Repair Mechanical Arms for assistance.
However, the interior of this Tank held secrets that he did not trust to anyone else. If there were any internal recording functions, it could lead to unforeseen disasters—especially since he had exposed a Blue Light Weapon. If that information got out, it wouldn't just be Kangaroo Team and SY Team looking for trouble; many other Mercenaries would likely come knocking as well.
So he needed to proceed with caution and keep everything close to his chest.
After taking care of that, Lin Yuan's first task was to install the Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar System he had dismantled from the deceased Yellow Sparrow's Mechanical Body. This treasure was similar to the Main Audio-Visual Radar and could scan everything within a twenty-five-kilometer radius—an essential tool for Long-Range Sniping.
The Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar perfectly compensated for Lin Yuan's current awkward situation of only having a three-kilometer visual range. If enemies were sniping him from beyond that distance, he would have no way to defend himself.
Of course, to return to the topic, the Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar is far inferior to Lin Yuan's Main Audio-Visual Radar. Its response speed is only half as fast, and it cannot coordinate with the various weapons of the Mechanical Body. The only function it serves is early warning.
If one were to use it for Long-Range Sniping, that would be a disaster. In Mechanical City, Long-Range Snipers are one of the six major professions, equipped with a complete set of skills and gear. Their response speed must be at least on par with that of a Swift Hunter; otherwise, they would be deemed unqualified. It is not enough to simply wield a heavy sniper rifle and claim to be one.
Therefore, Lin Yuan's plan is to allocate time in the future to focus on this aspect, integrating the Main Audio-Visual Radar, Second Audio-Visual Radar, and Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar into a comprehensive system. This should yield much better results, but it is also a significant project that won't be easy to accomplish.
The Medium-Range Visual-Audio Radar is quite a cumbersome component, resembling a bulky speaker. After careful consideration, Lin Yuan decided to place it in parallel with the Energy Engine Armor, specifically in the area on the back of his Mechanical Body. His plan is to connect an entire set of components there to house the more fragile parts and then install a full set of armor on the outside.
He has already envisioned its shape: that of a turtle shell. Although this might not look very appealing—more like a pot—it must be admitted that this semi-circular raised armor offers superior defensive capabilities compared to flat armor.
Of course, an Energy Shield is also a possibility Lin Yuan has considered. However, this option has significant limitations and demands high requirements for the overall Energy Reserve of the Energy Engine and its unit output power. To install an Energy Shield for himself would necessitate completely reassembling a new Energy Engine.
All these plans are interconnected; changing one part requires upgrading the entire corresponding system.
Lin Yuan honestly feels a bit pressured by all this, but he has no choice. Within six months, he must complete the overhaul of his entire Mechanical Body; otherwise, what awaits him could very well be disaster.
In addition to this, he also needs to find ways to earn more Mechanical Coins; otherwise, purchasing shotgun ammunition will become quite troublesome. (To be continued.)
