From Scrap Mecha to Sci-Fi Heaven

"Hey, is this your weapon? It does look pretty impressive."

Lin Yu's Fangtian Halberd stood upright, instantly capturing the girl's attention.

She smiled and said, "But I wonder if it's really as powerful as the boss claims?"

"Why don't you give it a try and find out?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Alright then."

The girl reached behind her and surprisingly pulled out a highly technological metal hammer. As she swung it, the extendable handle unfolded, and when she lifted it, the hammerhead emitted a faint blue flame at one end.

"A hammer with a thruster, huh? How cheeky!"

Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly as he quickly leaned back into a bridge position, maintaining his balance without losing his center of gravity, while his arms coiled around the long shaft of the Fangtian Halberd like a snake.

As he bent backward, he swung his arm, and the Fangtian Halberd directly struck the girl on her backside.

Heavy weapons like hammers, especially with the added force of a thruster, easily throw the user off balance. While they might not fall, stumbling and the rigidity from the backward force are unavoidable.

Many Fighting techniques often emphasize using seven parts of strength and leaving three parts for adaptability, but the girl used all her strength, even twelve parts, making her most vulnerable during her attack.

Such an obvious flaw naturally did not escape Lin Yu's eyes. With a swift strike of the Fangtian Halberd, he hit the girl squarely on her backside, causing her to lose her balance completely and fall onto the ground.

"Wow, wow, wow, let's do it again!"

The girl spat out a mouthful of grass and dirt, angrily charging forward again.

However, the scene was different, yet the outcome was the same, as Lin Yu once again executed the same tactic.

"I'm not doing this anymore! You're cheating! What kind of weird moves are these? My butt is all swollen!"

After a few rounds, the girl was left crying out in distress, and after being knocked down again, she sat on the ground, kicking her short legs and refusing to get back up.

Ten kills +1.

"Hahaha, I told you it wouldn't work! Let me take over!"

Another warrior, who had been watching for a while, jumped into the fray.

Lin Yu welcomed him without hesitation, brandishing his halberd defiantly.

A few seconds later...

"I give up! I give up! I surrender!"

Ten kills +1.

"Damn, you turned into a softshell turtle on your first mission this month, let me handle it!"

A new challenger appeared once more.

Lin Yu did not refuse.

Ten kills +1.

"We brothers are united in heart; if we fight one, we fight together, and if we fight a group, we still fight together!"

Seeing Lin Yu's strength, the last two members of the Qiao Wa (Jova) team no longer hoped to take him on one-on-one, attempting to engage in a righteous two-on-one.

However, the outcome remained brutal.

The so-called balance in Fighting skills is likely determined by the level of those skills.

But when Lin Yu switched to his Lu Bu persona, the combat techniques and experience he possessed far exceeded that of mere first-level Fighting.

Against these opponents, as long as they didn't use their full-power cybernetic implants to crush him with basic attributes, one or two made no difference to him.

After all, Lu Bu was a general on the battlefield; charging into battle against a crowd was what he excelled at.

"We give up! We surrender!"

In the end, the entire Qiao Wa (Jova) team was taken down one by one by Lin Yu.

Yet, this makeshift camp was filled with laughter and joy, and the distance between them had significantly narrowed.

Strong individuals always command respect, and Lin Yu had thus formed a bond with these people through their sparring.

Initially, they had only met, naturally keeping a cool distance, even carrying some image burdens.

But as they became more familiar, Lin Yu discovered that the members of the Qiao Wa (Jova) team were quite interesting.

Some were lively, others playful, and they shared a deep trust and closeness, completely devoid of the usual scheming and conflicts of interest found among mercenaries and bounty hunters.

"I didn't expect Brother Lin to be so skilled."

Not only the Qiao Wa (Jova) team, but Zhao Xing also regarded Lin Yu with newfound respect.

He couldn't possibly have missed the loud sounds of fighting and commotion just now.

An engineer who built his own Mech and a warrior who owned a Mech were two entirely different realms.

Lin Yu earned the respect he deserved through his strength.

The greatest benefit of this was that Zhao Xing directly opened up many repair and modification tools he carried for Lin Yu during their subsequent journey.

Although there weren't any advanced materials or modules available, many basic parts that needed frequent replacement were at Lin Yu's disposal, allowing him to refine the Lu Bu armor further.

After all, it had originally been cobbled together from scrap parts; no matter how cleverly designed, there were times when even the most skilled craftsman would struggle without materials, leaving behind many hidden dangers and obsolete parts that could only be used temporarily.

Now, with brand new replacement parts, various high-precision processing and calibration equipment, and Lin Yu, who had already mastered Level 4 Mech Engineering, the Lu Bu armor became increasingly perfect.

In addition to the internal structure being improved, the exterior was also further refined.

In a word, the current Lu Bu armor could truly be described as a Mech version of 'Lu Bu.'

Dressed in black armor, it faintly echoed the shadows of ancient battle armor, but the overall style was a mechanical metallic look with jagged blocks, topped with two flamboyant feathers that Lu Bu's persona would never part with.

As he held the Mech Fangtian Halberd in his hand, even Lin Yu couldn't help but secretly admire how cool it looked!

'Lu Bu' had such high aesthetic standards?

Or was it that the visual effect of a mechanized 'general' was just that impressive?

Looking at the two 'chicken feathers' on top of the Lu Bu armor, Lin Yu's thoughts began to drift, recalling two other classic figures who also liked to wear feathers on their heads.

If Mech Lu Bu looked this cool, what about making a Mech version of the Monkey King? How about a Mech Erlang Shen?

Hmm, I feel like Mech Erlang Shen should look even cooler?

Just right, I seem to have a Mimic Personality; can I mimic an Erlang Shen persona?

If Lu Bu's fictional memories can deduce combat experience, what about the fictional memories of a deity?

If my knowledge and brain domain attributes are sufficient, could I create some divine spells or similar black technology?

If worse comes to worst, I could use my Mimic Personality to let the persona design the Mech, creating a perfect match for the persona's needs and combat habits, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Without divine spells, I could replace them with technology, using Mechs instead of divine bodies, and with the Mimic Personality, wouldn't that be equivalent to mechanized deification?

If Mech Erlang Shen is out, why not create a few more deities?

As his thoughts wandered, Lin Yu felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"No, I can't rush this. The Mimic Personality can only deduce during the first mimicry; thinking too much now is useless. I still need to acquire more knowledge skills and brain domain attributes, and it would be best to level up the Mimic Personality a few more times…"

Lin Yu exerted great effort to calm himself down.

Dreaming is beautiful, but reality i

s barren.

Let alone the funds and resources to create a new Mech, he still hadn't sorted out his own identity and illness.
