Global Mechanical Evolution.

Chapter 5 The First Pot of Gold
The invasion of corrupt creatures continued until evening.

Lin Ye didn't know how the battle was going over there.

But from the sound of the movement and explosions, as well as the continuous deployment of additional support teams, he knew that the process must be very intense.

Especially the terrifying roar of the beast sounded in the middle, as if the sky was about to collapse.

That is definitely a more terrifying existence than the crypt beast!

Fortunately, the battle did not spread to this side again.

When the sun went down and the mecha troops evacuated with a large number of corpses, the low-level citizens in the outer city of D78 finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to rush back from various places.

After all, this is the place they depend on for survival, even Lin Ye.

But now he encountered a problem.

His Ebon Knight was exhausted and could not be activated.

With his thin body, he couldn't get back this giant iron bump that was nearly ten meters high.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Ye? So you're still alive."

Suddenly, a voice came from a distance, interrupting Lin Ye's thoughts.

In the ranks of lower-class citizens who rushed back, a dark brown mecha walked towards this side with heavy steps.

It was an industrial mech equipped with an alloy chainsaw and steel pliers, a logging machine model named "Tearer".

"you are?"

Lin Ye looked at the visitor suspiciously.

"Why, you don't recognize me after you haven't seen me for a while? I'm Zhou Xian."

The Ripper's cockpit opened, and a man in his 30s poked his head out.

Lin Ye was taken aback for a moment, his thoughts turned sharply, and then he smiled.

"It turned out to be you, what's the matter?"

Whether you recognize it or not, in short, pretend to know it first.

Generally, when encountering relatives and old classmates whom they do not remember, in order to avoid embarrassment, people will always pretend to be familiar with them and say a few polite words.

In fact, they don't even know who the other party is, and they don't even know what their name is.

Lin Ye was very familiar with this trick, and he entered the play in a second, covering up the fact that he did not inherit the memory of his predecessor.

Zhou Xian obviously didn't notice this, and said with a smile: "I see that your mecha is broken like this. It was broken when you just escaped? Do you want to help?"

It can be heard that this person should be very familiar with the predecessor, and seems to have a good relationship.

He was worrying about how to get the mecha back, but he didn't expect help to come so soon, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, I'll treat you to a good meal some other day."

"That's what you said."

Zhou Xian's eyes lit up, and without talking nonsense, he closed the cockpit again, controlled the Ripper to come to him, and gently lifted Lin Ye's Black Blade Knight with steel tongs.

"Hiss, it's still quite heavy."

Looking at the prompt of full kinetic energy on the interface, Zhou Xian couldn't help but take a breath.

Defensive mechas are generally much thicker than other types, and it is naturally a bit difficult to lift a logging mecha like his.

However, after some operations, he successfully lifted it up and walked towards Lin Ye's residence.

Wherever he went, the ground shook, leaving deep footprints.

The two of them worked like this for a long time before they finally put the black blade knight away and stood beside Lin Ye's container house.

Low-level citizens like them cannot afford to hire a repairman to help them repair their mechs, nor can they afford expensive mechanical parts.

So basically self-sufficient, simple tinkering by collecting discarded parts from the junkyard.

As long as the most critical power core is not damaged, it can be rescued, repaired and continued to be used, but it cannot be used for high-intensity battles.

"Okay, let me put it here for you, I have to leave beforehand."

After setting up the black blade knight, Zhou Xian looked around again, bid farewell to Lin Ye and left, as if he had something urgent to do.

"Okay, I'll invite you another day."

Lin Ye watched him leave until the tall Ripper disappeared among the garbage mountains, and then dragged his tired body back to the bedroom on the second floor to lie down.

Just then.

A reminder sounded in his ear.

[Citizen D78-5430, due to your good performance in the invasion of corrupted creatures, the Star Ring Federation will issue rewards to you, please pay attention to check. 】

reward!

Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sat up excitedly on the bed.

The big man I met today really didn't lie to him, and gave him a reward when he said he would be rewarded.

I don't know how much resources can be exchanged for a corpse of a crypt beast. He doesn't ask for anything else, at least it can temporarily solve his problem of food and clothing.

After all, he had heard that most of the meat of corrupted creatures was inedible.

The value will naturally shrink greatly, and it's really hard to say how many things can be exchanged.

After thinking about it, the reminder sound finally came again.

[Given your performance, you will receive the following rewards:]

[1000 federal coins, one free armor repair]

[Congratulations, your personal assets exceed 1000, and the function of the Mimic Mall is open. 】

1000 federation coins!
And it also comes with a free mecha repair!

Seeing these two rewards, Lin Ye was overjoyed.

Although the money was not much, it solved his urgent needs at once. At least for the time being, he no longer had to worry about being hungry.

What surprised him even more.

After obtaining Federal Coins, a function called "Mimicry Mall" was even opened up.

Quickly calling out the digital interface to see, in addition to several basic functions such as personal information and federal network, there is indeed a new option.

[Mimicry Mall]: You can purchase specified items through the digital interface, such as mecha parts, basic materials, vehicle machinery, maintenance services, etc., or conduct transactions with other citizens.

Looks like something like a trading platform.

Sure enough, the development of science and technology will bring great convenience to life.

Lin Ye tapped his fingers and opened the [Mecha Parts] interface at the front. Suddenly, a large number of parts of different shapes came into view, ranging from head to toe, as well as body parts of various corrupted creatures.

It even came with the whole mech assembly, which dazzled him.

However, his current authority can only purchase the lowest-level column, and the rest are all gray, and he cannot view the information.

And even the cheapest parts would cost at least 1000 federal coins, which he couldn't afford with his current financial resources.

"Forget it, this is not something poor people like me can watch"

After exiting the mecha interface, Lin Ye looked around again, and finally entered the [Basic Materials] interface, searching carefully.

Finally, when I pulled down to the bottom, I found the cheapest two things.

[item name]: Nano compressed dry food
【Item Price】: 10 Federal Coins/block

【Purchase Permission】: Unlimited

[item name]: ionized drinking water

【Item Price】: 15 Federal Coins/bottle

【Purchase Permission】: Unlimited

Compared with food, the price of drinking water is obviously much higher, but it is still within an acceptable range.

Lin Ye thought for a while, and spent 250 federal coins to buy 10 yuan of compressed dry food and 10 bottles of drinking water, which should be enough for him to last for three days.

[The purchase is successful, the supplies will be delivered within an hour, please wait patiently. 】

One hour.

So fast!

This speed was beyond his expectation.

Sure enough, not long after, a delivery machine flew from the direction of the city, and parked a small box of supplies firmly on the location he designated, containing the supplies he had just purchased.

this night.

Lin Ye finally had a good meal.

Although it was only the roughest dry food, it allowed him to temporarily escape the plight of starvation and thirst.

After eating and drinking enough, it was completely dark, so I didn't do anything else, and went back to the second floor to rest.

It was also his first night in this world.

only.

The night didn't seem peaceful.

Not long after Lin Ye lay down.

Next to the garbage mountain in the distance, three moving figures suddenly appeared, slowly approaching his residence.
