You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 12 Taking Stock of the Loot

In the abyss of the mysterious realm, in the atrium of a shopping mall on the outskirts of the Steel Empire.

Li Zhe walked up to the huge warhammer.

He crouched down, reached out, and gently touched the hammerhead.

It feels cool to the touch, has a heavy texture, and its surface is covered with scratches and dents left from the battle just now.

After being detached from the mech, the gravity hammer seemed to undergo some strange change.

It is no longer a "weapon module" that can be directly loaded, but has been transformed into a kind of... material.

A line of information appeared in Li Zhe's field of vision.

【Name: Gravity Hammer Remains】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Core Material]

[Effect: Core material containing trace amounts of gravitational elements can be used to produce and synthesize other types of weapon modules]

It turned out to be the case.

The modules that break off from the mechs will become core materials that can be reused.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Zhe directly put the "remains of the gravity hammer" into his maintenance hangar.

He readily accepted the material as a token of gratitude from his ally.

In this environment where the end is near and everyone is in danger, talking about returning lost property to its owner seems too old-fashioned and naive.

The battlefield of the abyss is fraught with danger; to survive is to win.

Since I found this thing, it must be my good fortune.

This item is destined for me, and it would be disrespectful of me to refuse it!

After carefully storing his spoils, Li Zhe did not linger on the spot.

The large rats swarming around were already close at hand.

He flexed his wrists, a smile that closely resembled the expression on his face.

With a swift movement, he charged headlong into the swarm of rats.

"Oh!"

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

For the next few minutes, the entire mall atrium became Li Zhe's one-sided slaughterhouse.

Punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes...

Each move is simple and direct, yet contains explosive power.

Those steel rats that are ferocious and terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people are as fragile as paper in front of him.

One punch, one kill; one kick, a whole group.

No mouse could survive a single round against him.

He stomped the last steel rat's head into the ground.

The world is finally quiet...

He opened the system panel, where the task completion notification was already waiting.

[Limited-Time Elite Challenge: Trial of Entering the Abyss for the First Time (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: 2 Rare Blueprint Supply Boxes have been delivered to the Maintenance Hangar. Please check.]

"It's done."

Li Zhe clapped his hands, glanced at the monster's gradually dissipating remains scattered on the ground, and at the swarms of rats still pouring in from afar, and decisively chose to retreat.

There's no need to waste time on these trash monsters.

He once again displayed his superhuman jumping ability, leaping a few times to easily leave the mall and disappear into the concrete jungle of the abandoned city.

……

Ten minutes later.

Li Zhe found a relatively safe hiding place—

The rooftop terrace of a high-rise office building.

This place offers a wide field of vision, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, according to reconnaissance, there are no high-threat monsters within a one-kilometer radius.

He walked to the center of the rooftop, sat down cross-legged, and let out a long sigh of relief.

It's time to take stock of this spoils.

He first opened the maintenance hangar and took out the two core materials he had acquired.

One of them was dropped after killing the elite giant rat.

【Name: Chainsaw Core】

[Quality: Rare] [Type: Core Material]

[Effect: The chainsaw structure with a built-in miniature power furnace is full of ferocious cutting power and can be used to produce melee cutting weapon modules]

The other item, naturally, was the "remains of the gravity hammer".

Both of these materials are of pretty good quality.

In particular, the "Chainsaw Core" is of rare quality.

It seems that even the loot dropped by elites is a level above that of ordinary apostles.

Li Zhe examined the two pieces of material for a moment before putting them back into the hangar.

Now is not the time to study how to use them.

Right now, the most important thing is the rewards from those two systems!
He rubbed his hands together, a look of anticipation on his face.

Their gazes were drawn to the two supply crates emitting a purple glow in the maintenance hangar.

【Name: Rare Blueprint Supply Box】

[Quality: Rare]

[Drawing Type: Random]

[Effect: Upon activation, randomly obtain a weapon module blueprint of rare quality or higher.]

Guaranteed rare!
The worst-case scenario is two purple drawings.

If you're lucky enough to get another Golden Legendary card, then you'll take off!

"Come, witness the moment of miracle!"

Li Zhe took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.

I gently clicked on one of the supply crates.

Unboxing!
With a touch of the fingertip, one of the rare supply boxes suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light!

Amidst the light, the futuristic silhouette of a box slowly emerged.

The lid clicked open!
This time, there was no exaggerated sound effect like "Wow, the golden legend!"

A steady and elegant purple light shot into the sky.

A drawing shimmering with a mysterious purple glow slowly rotated within the beam of light before finally falling into his hand.

Li Zhe suppressed his excitement and looked intently.

The corresponding information then emerged—

[Rare-grade power module: When installed, it grants the mech a brief period of levitation and significantly enhances its mobility.]

[Production Materials: Core Material of Any Quality x1, Energy Supplement x3L]

[Production Method: In the maintenance hangar workshop, consume materials and this blueprint (72 hours; using core materials containing gravity factors can reduce the time to 30 minutes)]

[Loading Notes: (Impact on Appearance) This module will generate a pair of foldable vectoring jet wings on the back of the mech.]

Levitation capability! Vector jet wings!

Li Zhe's eyes lit up instantly.

This is a real upgrade from slingshot to cannon!

Although my jumping ability is already amazing, I am still a ground unit, and my movement is greatly restricted by the terrain.

Once you have the ability to levitate, it means you will break free from the constraints of gravity and gain three-dimensional mobility!
By then, whether it's traveling, reconnaissance, or fighting, everything will become more flexible and efficient.

If you can't beat them, just fly away; the enemy can only watch helplessly from below.

This power module is awesome!

I have all the materials needed for production on hand.

The "gift" from friendly forces came in handy.

Moreover, as remnants of a gravity hammer, they can also speed up the production process!
As for the three liters of energy supplement...

My "private's energy supply pack" is enough.

Although using it as a production material is a bit extravagant, it's totally worth the price in order to be able to fly!

The 30-minute wait for production is just enough time to farm materials, so it won't cause any delays.

After a series of clicks, this "vector jet wing" was added to the production list of the maintenance hangar.

Then he turned his attention to the last supply crate.

I've just finished the first one, and my luck is on fire, so I need to strike while the iron is hot!

"Hopefully, another good item will come, preferably a weapon..."

Li Zhe silently prayed, then stretched out his finger again and pointed at the box that was shimmering with purple light.

Click to unbox!
"Om-!"

A dazzling purple light suddenly erupted!
Within the light, there seemed to be a faint hint of noble gold...
