Global Mechanical Evolution

Chapter 37 Shock, Official Pilot!
For the rest of the time, Lin Ye stayed outside the yard and waited.

Watching the old man driving the maintenance mecha busy in the yard, sometimes moving parts and sometimes knocking.

He disassembled the Thunderstorm Shield, which was five or six meters high, and then reassembled it. Sparks were scattered all over the process, which dazzled him for a while.

It was not until more than half an hour later that the father's lukewarm voice finally came.

"Boy, the shield has been changed, come and have a look."

Lin Ye, who was sitting in the cockpit looking up information, immediately came back to his senses, and controlled the Black Blade Knight to cross the fence. At a glance, he saw the shield standing on the steel frame, which had changed its appearance.

[Peripherals]: Thunderstorm Shield

[Level]: low level
[Corruption degree]: 10%
[Durability]: 15
[Defense Power]: 2
[Reverse shock]: 25% (not higher than its own destructive power)
[Electric Energy Shield]: Consume 10 points of energy to form a shield that can resist 8 points of damage.

In the new Thunderstorm Shield, the upper and lower mirrors are cut into four pieces, and a micro-particle collider is installed at the middle connection, which looks thicker and more aggressive.

In addition, there is an additional [Reverse Shock] feature, which can rebound 25% of the impact, and even the damage resisted by the electric energy shield has been increased to 8 points.

For an entry-level shield, this is absolutely powerful!

After seeing the performance, Lin Ye was shocked. With such a powerful improvement method, even if he couldn't continue to drive the mecha to fight, he should be able to thrive in the inner city.

How could he be reduced to such a low-level place to make a living?

"The shield has been improved according to your request, a total of 260 federal coins."

At this time, the voice of the old man came again.

"Thank you."

Lin Ye was grateful, and immediately transferred 260 federal coins to the other party.

Then he looked at the remaining [-] federal coins and asked, "Do you accept the improvement of other fuselage components?"

"Go, but I can't change your body." The old man glanced at the Ebon Knight.

"why?"

"I don't have the right materials and parts."

"."

Right.

His Ebon Knight has just gone through an all-round upgrade, and if he wants to upgrade again, he must need more advanced materials and parts.

This is a dump after all.

Although a large amount of mechanical waste is carried over every day, there is not much that can be used.

It seems that we have to find a chance to get a few more corpses of corrupted creatures, or simply buy them with federal currency.

"If you want to get more advanced materials, you can't do it here."

As if guessing what he was thinking, the old man suddenly said again.

"Where should I go?" Lin Ye asked quickly.

He suddenly realized that his father was from the inner city, he must know much more than him, and maybe he could learn some useful information from the other party.

as predicted.

The old man who had made a deal seemed to be in a good mood, and pointed out a way for him.

"It's very simple, go to register as an official pilot."

"A formal pilot?"

"That's right, only an official pilot can truly be regarded as a pilot. After obtaining the certification of the Federation, he can then participate in various suppression missions issued by the Federation."

"Uh, am I not considered an official pilot now?" Lin Ye was stunned.

"You can only be regarded as an entry-level pilot now." The old man curled his lips, "But I advise you to think carefully."

"Why?" Lin Ye asked puzzled.

"Because an official pilot is not as simple as you imagined. Not only do you have to face the monsters outside, but you also have to face creatures that are more terrifying than monsters, humans."

The old man's voice was extremely low, as if a heavy hammer had hit Lin Ye's heart hard, causing his expression to change.

As a man in two lifetimes, he certainly knew what his father meant, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to be an ordinary person and wait to die in the safe area. For example, our D78 area is often invaded by corrupt creatures, but it's still relatively safe."

"It's different in other districts, especially the first 50 districts. The corrupted monsters you have to face there are beyond your imagination. If you are not careful, you will forget it. Don't mention it, you can do it yourself."

At the end, the old man seemed to recall the unbearable past when he was young, waved his hand, and didn't continue talking.

After warning Lin Ye, he left the mech and limped back to the house.

If you look closely, you can also see his right leg, which has been replaced by a mechanical limb, which seems to have been a few years old.

Lin Ye originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing him leave, he had no choice but to give up.

After picking up the Thunderstorm Shield and equipped it, he drove the Ebon Knight back to his residence, thinking about what his father had just said while walking forward.

indeed.

The urban areas within the Star Ring Federation are relatively safe.

After all, what he encountered before was only a relatively small-scale corruption invasion, and basically sending out a mecha troop could solve them all.

But what about further places?
Those areas that have fallen, I'm afraid they have already been completely reduced to a paradise for monsters, right?
You must know that the corrupted monsters in this world are not just the low-level creatures he has seen before.

It's the same as human's genetic awakening.

As the degree of corruption increases, the strength of monsters will also increase, and the range of corruption will also greatly increase.

For the convenience of recording, the Star Ring Federation also divided them into disaster levels.

Low level: 10%-19%
Intermediate: 20%-29%
Advanced: 30%-39%
Commander level: 40%-49%
King level: more than 50%
Among all the information that Lin Ye can find so far, the highest is the king level.

It is also the corrupted creature that currently threatens the Federation the most.

The appearance of each Sovereign Class will often bring devastating disasters to major cities, requiring a large number of armed forces to repel it.

of course.

Lin Ye also knew that this was too far away for him, so he just paid attention to it a little bit.

After all, let alone the king level now, it is estimated that low-level monsters with a corruption level of more than 15% may not be able to deal with them.

Really echoed what my father said, you are just getting started.

"Forget it, let's check how to register as an official pilot first."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye quickly clicked on the federal information interface and began to search.

After a few minutes.

Finally, he found a way to become an official pilot.

The most basic condition is to win 300 battles in the mimic space!
"so much?"

Lin Ye frowned instantly.

Looking at the explanation below, the meaning is very simple. If you want to face vicious corrupted creatures, you must have enough combat experience, otherwise even if you become a formal pilot, you will only die in vain.

Ok.

This explanation is acceptable.

No wonder so many entry-level pilots like him rushed into the mimicry space, because they wanted to quickly get rid of the title of entry-level pilot.

"In order to make money, I can only fight!"

Anyway, with his current level of manipulating mechas, as long as he doesn't encounter too powerful opponents or powerful mechas, he shouldn't have much problem.
