Open the basic exchange page.
The first thing that appears before is a heap of chanical parts.
These are basically materials needed for chanical type production.
Additionally,
scrolling further down reveals a number of finished artifacts.
Such as fla thrusters, portable hand cannons, stun batons, firearms, electromagnetic shields, vibration sticks, potions, and the like.
Lords from other types can all use these.
However, what surprises Lin You the most is at the bottom of the interface.
There are actually various modern transportation tools available for exchange.
[Vehicle: Battle Axe VR Titanium Steel Motorcycle]
[Speed: 450 km/h]
[Introduction: A lightweight ride made of titanium steel, equipped with the latest K1 propulsion engine, full of power, can only be used within the chanical Empire.]
[Exchange requirents: 20,000 Magic Energy, 200 chanical Core (Ordinary)]
...
[Vehicle: Phantom GT]
[Speed: 600 km/h]
[Introduction: The latest "Phantom" series hovercar, easy to operate, moves like an illusion, can only be used within the chanical Empire.]
[Exchange requirents: 50,000 Magic Energy, 500 chanical Core (Ordinary), 5 chanical Core (Leader)]
...
What surprises Lin You is not the appearance of such items here.
After all, it’s called the chanical Empire, so the appearance of such chanical products is not surprising.
But it’s because of the exchange requirents above.
Besides ordinary chanical cores, leader-level chanical cores are also needed.
It seems the more precious the item, the higher the level of chanical core needed.
Even such a simple ride requires a leader-level core.
It makes one wonder.
What level would the exchange requirents for higher-level treasures reach?
It’s likely that a lord core is needed.
Then,
he continued to scroll down, searching the area, and finally exchanged for two items that were currently quite useful.
[Artifact: Terrain Detector]
[Effect: Continuously detects the terrain within a 5-kiloter range and marks building and street information.]
[Exchange requirents: 5,000 Magic Energy, 25 chanical Core (Ordinary)]
...
[Consumable: Electromagnetic Pulse Interference Device]
[Level: Tier Eight]
[Effect: Upon activation, generates a powerful electromagnetic pulse that disrupts all chanical operations within a 10-ter range, lasting 5 seconds, ineffective on species.]
[Exchange requirents: 2,000 Magic Energy, 10 chanical Core (Ordinary)]
...
No choice.
This chanical Empire is simply too vast.
From the outside, it didn’t seem like much.
But after entering, it’s evident that it’s far larger and more intricate than imagined.
Moreover, with the towering buildings, it’s easy to lose direction within.
This terrain detector would undoubtedly help him avoid many detours and reach the control center quickly.
After all, the skies are filled with patrolling chanical demons and anti-aircraft artillery, making flying almost impossible; he can only rely on traveling by ground.
As for the electromagnetic pulse interference device, it can help him avoid unnecessary battles, so he exchanged five for backup.
After storing the items safely and making so simple preparations,
Lin You set out, leaving the safe zone under the watchful eyes of other lords, continuing deeper into the Empire.
The safe zone is located on the outermost area of the chanical Empire.
According to Lin You’s estimate, it’s at least several hundred kiloters from here to the control center, and he can only advance in the general direction while exploring.
As he ventures further,
the chanical demons he encounters along the way beco more nurous.
The Chaos Level has risen from the original S-level to SS-level, with strength further enhanced.
Tanks and war chas of various shapes can be seen roaming the streets, all out of control.
However, in the eyes of Lin You, they are rely mobile chanical cores.
"Hmm?"
"What’s that?"
Suddenly, while clearing demons along the way, Lin You’s gaze is drawn to a figure that suddenly appeared at an inconspicuous corner of the street.
It is a sphere hovering above the ground, different from other chanical demons.
Why different?
Because although it’s chanical,
it’s not glowing with the red light that signifies being out of control.
Moreover, its body is very worn-out, looking like an old machine that hasn’t been maintained for a long ti, wandering the street corner.
A pair of eyes emitting data-like blue light scans the surroundings.
Seemingly searching for sothing.
"Hold on!"
Lin You imdiately halts the team, instructing them to set up camp and defend the spot.
He then slowly approaches the dark street corner with Lingxi.
No other choice.
Compared to the surrounding chanical demons,
this non-out-of-control chanical sphere is simply too peculiar to ignore.
Could it be...
A hidden task?
Lin You secretly wonders, his eyes becoming progressively brighter.
But at this mont,
the chanical sphere seems to have realized sothing; it suddenly changes direction and flies directly into a nearby alley, disappearing in an instant.
"Quick, chase it!"
Lin You is startled and imdiately recalls all plants to the territory, leaving only Lingxi and the relatively small Mushroom Demon King by his side, pursuing swiftly.
Soon after,
he also rushes into the alley, still able to vaguely see the chanical sphere swiftly moving ahead as if heading sowhere.
Not daring to be careless, he hurriedly follows.
Fortunately, the chanical sphere’s speed isn’t fast.
Probably due to its old-fashioned design, its flying speed is only equivalent to an ordinary Tier Seven Demon.
For Lin You, who is already Tier Eight, it’s not much of a challenge.
But in order not to alert the enemy, he still didn’t rush up directly.
Instead, he kept a distance behind while observing the surroundings.
Compared to the bustling streets outside with neon lights and extravagance.
This alley was obviously much more worn and old.
The buildings were corroded and riddled with holes.
Through the sunlight shining in from outside, one could faintly see signs like "Club," "Massage," "Night Venue."
It seems this was once a place where people ca for leisure.
But now it’s all closed, with only soulless greeting robots twitching slightly outside, seemingly not far from being scrapped.
Continuing to move forward all the way.
They quickly followed the chanical sphere through the alley and arrived at a container shipping terminal.
This terminal seed to be a place for storing supplies, with large vehicles loaded with goods parked everywhere.
But what Lin You couldn’t have imagined was.
Aside from containers and vehicles, there were also many towering War chas roaming the terminal, blocking his path.
Yet the chanical sphere continued flying into the terminal as if no one was there.
Just as he was about to pursue it, a War cha’s scanning red beam had already swept over him.
"Intruder detected, initiating annihilation protocol!"
The synthesized chanical voice suddenly sounded.
The War cha suddenly drew an electric saw and machine gun from its body, charging towards him with booming footsteps.
[Na: Annihilation cha M1 Model (Leader)]
[Race: chanical]
[Level: Tier Eight (SS-level)]
[Power: 2500 ( 2250)]
[Constitution: 2500 ( 2250)]
[Agility: 2500 ( 2250)]
[Spirit: 2500 ( 2250)]
[Skills: Tracking Missile, Electric Saw Cutting, Overload]
[Chaos: All Attributes Increased by 90%]
[Introduction: The most original Annihilation cha, with formidable combat power, once served as the backbone defensive force of the chanical Empire.]
Goodness.
A full-attribute Leader Demon!
This single one is on par with an ordinary Tier Nine Soldier, and the terminal is filled with them, a typical Tier Eight Lord would likely have to avoid it.
What on earth is hidden inside this terminal?
To warrant such a heavy guard of Leader Demons, making Lin You increasingly curious.
But there was no ti for him to think.
Hundreds of Annihilation chas nearby were already drawn by the commotion, swarming from all directions.
In an instant, the entire terminal was thrown into chaos.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Sparks erupted, and a volley of Tracking Missiles shot from the backs of the Annihilation chas.
Trailing long tails of flas, they locked directly onto Lin You’s position.
Several chas leading the charge raised their electric saws high.
With a resonating buzz, they slashed down towards Lin You.
"Retreat!"
Lin You made a quick decision, abandoning the chase of the sphere, and withdrew with Lingxi and the Mushroom Demon King.
Simultaneously, activating the Power of Rule, he gathered several Turtle Shield Mirror Walls in front of him.
"Boom!"
The air shook violently.
Under the enhancent of three Divine Fragnts, the Mirror Walls were shattered with a "crack" sound, destroyed by missiles and electric saws, turning into countless fragnts.
The skills of Leader Demons were indeed far stronger than ordinary Demons.
Lin You dared not be careless, with a thought, bright lights flashed, and the Plant Legion was summoned, clashing madly with the advancing Annihilation chas outside the alley.
Though the Leader-level Demons were powerful, they weren’t yet at a level to pose a threat to him.
So soon, the situation gradually stabilized, advancing towards the interior of the terminal.
But just then.
The Annihilation chas suddenly emitted massive electrical surges, forming a terrifying electric net around their bodies.
Their aura sharply intensified as well.
Overload Skill!
Lin You couldn’t help but be startled.
Overload Skill is considered the signature skill for chanical Types.
Just like the Undead Summoning for Undead Types or egg-laying for Insect Types, it provides a trendous boost to chanical Types.
Its effect is simple and brutal.
Basically, it doubles the attributes!
Once the effect ends, it enters a period of overload, unable to fight during that ti.
But even so.
A doubled attribute Annihilation cha becos extrely terrifying, reaching the level of a sa-tier Lord Demon.
And there’s over a hundred of them!
In the blink of an eye, the situation shifted.
Lin You’s Plant Legion, bombarded by hundreds of Annihilation chas, began to suffer heavy casualties.
Even those species with Symbiotic Moss support were riddled with wounds from electric saws and shells, retreating step by step.
"Heaven-Devouring!"
Facing such a formidable offensive, Lin You dared not hold back.
With a shout, Heaven-Devouring and the Life Elental Spirit activated their skills simultaneously.
The next second, two shields deployed, enveloping all the remaining plants.
The Elf Masters in the team also began desperately healing, swiftly repairing the plants’ injuries.
After five seconds passed, the Guardian Barrier shattered.
All the plants had shields form over them as well.
However, Lin You didn’t imdiately launch a counterattack, but instead held his ground, using the lingering effect of his skills to withstand the torrents of artillery fire.
Because the best way to deal with chanical Overload skills is to drag it out!
As long as they wait for the effect to end, all the chanical units will be paralyzed, making it much easier to pick them off individually than to engage in a direct confrontation now.
It’s also the thod to minimize casualties.
Fortunately, his quick reaction earlier ant that only the Reproduction Species and Immortal Flowers were lost.
So main bodies suffered severe injuries.
But with the doubling Healing effect of the Life Curtain, they were nursed back to health by the Elf Master unit.
"Boom!"
Another round of collective bombardnt rained down.
The shield over the plants finally shattered, disintegrating into fragnts that scattered into the air.
And the overloaded state only lasted 15 seconds!
