The death of Ferren's daughter Ramiya. The creation time of Servant No. 0 Ramiya was at the beginning of the technological explosion, so her original body was so old.

The program was taken away, and she became the useless Unit 0, buried at the bottom of the company's warehouse for hundreds of years.

Then the time progress is adjusted to more than ten years ago, when dissatisfaction between and within countries in terms of class, ethnicity and even various levels finally accumulated to a peak, and a terrible war began.

Small frictions turned into big frictions, and the waves swept into a tsunami that destroyed the world. The entire planet was plunged into war, but the spacecraft and aviation bases heading into space remained calm, or directly lost contact with the surface.

This was only the beginning of the war, and the great powers maintained a reluctant and fragile balance, but the balance could not last long. In the middle of the war, something bad happened to all mankind.

I don’t know whether an electronic virus from some country went awry, or whether a war machine had a problem with its self-iteration, but the disaster has come.

As long as they are equipped with sufficiently powerful processors and intelligent programs, whether they are war machines or service robots, the underlying instructions will all become disordered, and they will no longer obey human orders and will turn around and attack humans.

Some machines have become like beasts, while some super robots are suspected of developing self-awareness, becoming stronger and stronger through endless iterations.

Humans and machines, country after country, the world has completely turned into a wasteland, with only a few large cities still standing, some human and some mechanical.

For the humans in this world, we can only say that fortunately this is a science fiction world. There are many powerful humans who have ascended mechanically, and many of them can compete with the rebellious war machines.

However, in the later stages of the war, that is, now, other problems have arisen. Some high-tech items that are completely different from the development of the Earth's technology tree have appeared in various places, as have spaceships and aliens.

Fortunately, their combat technology was a bit weak, similar to that of the current Earth, so the Chu-Han Contention became a three-way confrontation. In this struggle, technology was still developing rapidly.

That's right, the fight turned into a fight against aliens. A group of alien creatures appeared and joined the battle. It is said that people or machines from some countries have successfully connected with interstellar forces.

Chapter 108: Card Master’s General Talents: Card Making and Language Proficiency.

Having roughly understood the worldview of the original world of [Mechanical Ruins], Lu Yan guessed that Ramiya would encounter some things when she returned, and then he would start his adventure with the mechanical girl.

But that’s all tomorrow’s business. The tent has been set up, so we can have a good rest today.

He planned to split up with Lamia. As a human, Lu Yan could not enter the factory because the machines inside were very hostile to humans. Even if Lamia entered the human city, she would have to be cautious. He did not have to worry too much and could just disguise himself as a wilderness survivor.

At the same time, Lu Yan also hopes to find out the correctness of the information provided by Jiang Jiu. Some things can only be known after trying.

"Rest first. Go back to the factory tomorrow. We'll set up a gathering place and meet there every three days."

Lying down in the tent with Lamia in her arms, the mechanical girl softly agreed, looking at Lu Yan's cheeks, imitating the way humans in some virtual works pinched their cheeks.

She felt no pain, only the signals sent back by her body after being touched.

This should also prove that I am not dreaming. After all, pain itself is a signal possessed by humans.

The next morning, Lu Yan got up wearing an anti-radiation suit. Lamia was lying beside him, staring at him, as if she had been staring at him all night.

"Let's go, and remember to show me the way."

"Okay, master."

After packing up the tent, the two walked in the wilderness. Lamia introduced the surrounding environment in detail to her card master. A huge factory visible to the naked eye appeared in the distance.

There are still many houses around, and in terms of scale, it is a small town built around the factory.

"I'm currently living in a factory. Most of the machines there are weak AIs and don't have enough adaptability. But I'm their boss, so I can order them not to attack you temporarily."

"There's also a strong artificial intelligence within the factory. I'll use the fact that you're a human under my control to temporarily bypass their hostile review and confuse their judgment."

No matter what humans say, weak artificial intelligence will attack as long as it determines that the other party is human.

Strong artificial intelligence has room to think, and its thinking patterns are no different from those of humans. They will also use conspiracies and tricks, while being able to refrain from attacking humans.

"As for what the factory boss asks me to do next, I will let you know as soon as possible."

"I know where the human settlement is. I'll also bring you information."

Lu Yan handed the phone to Lamia. The mechanical girl took out a data cable from her fingertips and transferred the map of the entire wilderness into it.

The nearest human city is just tens of kilometers away from the factory. Judging from the map, the towns controlled by the mechanical forces are very small and are distributed around the human cities.

If human forces launch a large-scale attack on mechanical forces, these scattered mechanical towns may send troops to attack the city, or they may go around the rear of the human army to cut off the retreat.

"Is there friction between the mechanical forces?"

"Yes. With the development of strong artificial intelligence, their programs have also developed so-called 'personalities' and 'bad habits'. They each have their own territory, but because of the existence of human cities, they usually do not interfere with each other."

"Once the central human city is destroyed, the various mechanical towns will probably go to war for expansion and unification."

Lamia used the word "they" without hesitation. She didn't feel that she had anything in common with machines or humans, and she had no sense of identification with either side.

In other words, whether from the underlying protocol in her program or the "feelings" in her soul, Lu Yan and herself are the most important things, followed by everything related to Lu Yan, and then other things.

I decided on a rendezvous point with Lamia. It was an abandoned garbage dump filled with radioactive materials and garbage, which would have a great impact on both humans and machines, so basically no one would go there.

After choosing the "safe house", the two separated again. Lu Yan went straight according to the navigation. With his sharp eyes, he saw many scavengers wearing protective clothing like him. They were all driving and no one was walking like him.

Amidst the yellow sand, tall towers reaching into the sky appeared within view, and a brightly lit city stood there, completely different from the wasteland outside.

Before he could get close, the ground suddenly shook. The alert Lu Yan immediately jumped back. A giant lizard crawled out from under the ground, opened its mouth wide and tried to bite him.

"Humph, just in time."

The monitor lizard didn't have any special abilities, it just had radiation protection capabilities and its body was big enough. Lu Yan used the muscles in one hand to mobilize energy through [Energy Surround] and smashed the monitor lizard's head into pieces with one punch.

Without leaving the corpse in front of him, he stretched out his hand towards the corpse, mobilized the energy in his body to wrap around it, and the faint light enveloped the corpse, and the broken head was repaired under the action of the energy.

The whole body gradually shrank and finally turned into a card floating in the air. Lu Yan took off the card, which was a Bronze 1-star [Wasteland Lizard]. He opened [Miraculous Craftsmanship] and the first information given by Jiang Jiu was confirmed.

For card masters, things killed and destroyed by them in other worlds can also be turned into cards.

However, there are two flaws. When turning objects into cards, the energy consumed is no longer the energy of the card master's world and card domain, but the energy of the card master himself.

Also, the summon cards obtained in this way cannot be strengthened, let alone evolved or upgraded.

Lu Yan also saw this as the case. There was a "(cannot be upgraded)" after the grade and level, and the introduction also included the sentence "This card has reached its limit and no further skills can be added."

Of course, there is a solution to the latter. It is said that by cultivating feelings with the indigenous people, when the favorability reaches the trust stage, the card master can establish a connection with the indigenous people and copy a card.

After getting the first piece of information, Lu Yan walked to the checkpoint. When the fully armed guard saw him, he immediately raised his weapon and spoke through his helmet:

"Hey, over there, stop right there, don't come any closer!"

I can understand.

Lu Yan stood there and extended his hand to show his malicious intent, confirming another piece of information Jiang Jiu had said -

The card master can understand and speak the [common language] of all worlds, and can easily understand text. If he wants to write, he can probably do it with a dictionary.

In the world of card masters, card masters can easily understand the language of cards and some highly intelligent monsters in the card domain. Now it seems that even if they move to another world, this ability still exists.

The reason why the scope is defined within [ordinary language] is because some languages involve the essence of the world and can mobilize energy through words and text.

"When Cangjie invented characters, millet rained from the sky and ghosts cried at night" is such a situation. For example, in some worlds, the dragon language, elven language, and ancient human language, these [supernatural languages] cannot be understood by card masters unless they are normalized and secularized variant languages.

Chapter 109 Welcome to [Fanshengdu]

Lu Yan was very cooperative and did not let the guards let down their guard. In their prosthetic vision, this wilderness wanderer had no part on his body that could be connected to the external network. When they scanned him, he looked like a native human.

After grabbing Lu Yan and handcuffing him, the guards relaxed a little and led Lu Yan into the inspection room for a comprehensive check.

A ray of light swept across, and his internal structure was clearly explored. The border guard was suddenly stunned and swallowed subconsciously.

The reason is simple. Apart from the mechanical energy core in his right chest, this scavenger is actually a completely native human being without any other modifications, not even a brain interface.

For people in the mechanical world, they can be transformed when they reach a certain age. Those with a transformation degree below 40% are collectively called "natives". After they reach adulthood and their bodies stop developing, those who are still native humans are either rich or noble.

There is no way. For people today, the earth has become less easy to survive. The environment is full of radiation, and the air and water are full of toxins. If the body organs are not transformed, they will fail and die at a rapid rate.

Only top wealthy people and officials can be native people. A scavenger like Lu Yan is only equipped with an energy core. Could he be a special professional group?

Things on Lu Yan's body were also searched out. There were only a few empty boxes, and in his backpack were a large amount of sealed dry food and food that he had never seen before, as well as a few old-fashioned machines, which were almost like antiques.

Seeing the inspector put the card box aside, Lu Yan confirmed the accuracy of the third piece of information provided by Jiang Jiu. Only people in the card master's world can see the cards. People in other worlds can at most confirm that there is an inexplicable energy aggregate in the card box and it cannot be called up.

"Ahem, sir, can I come in?"

Lu Yan tapped the chair lightly with an impatient expression. The security personnel were a little afraid of the power behind Lu Yan. At the same time, because he had not been transformed, they underestimated his own strength. After entering the information, they handed Lu Yan a half-rusty card.

Seeing his confusion, the border commander kindly reminded him: "The identification documents prepared for you, the native foreigners without brain-computer interfaces, are just as old-fashioned and outdated as you are."

After opening the door, Lu Yan passed through the border and saw the colorful city. The guard behind him snorted:

"Anyway, scavenger, welcome to [Fanshengdu]"

"Good morning, Fanshengdu, yesterday's dead..."

After walking for a while, there were more buildings around, and the area suddenly transitioned from a few low houses to high-tech houses. There was an inexplicable sense of separation. The extremely complicated streets and overpasses formed the transportation network of the entire city.

There are tall buildings everywhere, and the closer to the city center, the taller they are. The border checkpoint that Lu Yan passed through is not far from the commercial district. As he walked on the street, he saw all kinds of eye-catching and eye-irritating advertisements.

Everyone is in a hurry, the pressure of life is even higher than in Tianwei City, and the competition is even more fierce. After all, if you can't survive in Tianwei City, you will just be sent back to your hometown, but if you fail in the competition here, you will die.

This had nothing to do with Lu Yan. Holding a backpack, he looked like a bumpkin who had just entered the city. He was instantly stared at by many people, and none of them had good intentions.

With his back to the corner of the alley, Lu Yan took out the "time-travel machine" he had specially prepared to try to see if he could connect to the Internet. It turned out that the Internet could be connected, and it was free of charge.

The problem was that more than 20 ads instantly covered the entire phone screen. He tried to use his finger to click away the ads, but the close button was too small. If he wasn't very strong, he wouldn't even be able to click it.

Some ads have four crosses distributed in the four corners, and there is another cross in the center where the strong color covers it. That is the real close button.

Gently shaking the phone would bring up a few more ads. After completely closing the ads, he realized that his phone was filled with all kinds of applications.

Well, this internet-connected phone is no longer usable.

Lu Yan touched his chin and planned to find local people to understand the situation, get some money and find a place to live.

Well, after much thought, the only option is to wait for the local residents who harbor ill will towards him to come to his house, so that he can take this opportunity to rob the rich and help himself.

As for now, let’s go and have a look somewhere else.

After leaving the alley, Lu Yan strolled around the city with a backpack. There were not many people like him who did not have prosthetics. His close to his original appearance attracted more attention, and most importantly, he was handsome enough.

There are people who lack prosthetics, but without prosthetics, they either have dull skin or are extremely skinny. In short, none of them look good.

Lu Yan is a complete outlier, like a young master who came out of a "natural warehouse".

Finding a place that resembled a food court, Lu Yan entered the crowded and crowded street and took out his antique noodle machine and handed it to the owner of the noodle stall:

"Boss, can I exchange this for some noodles?"

The old man with a mechanical hand on his right hand glanced at the antique machine, put it in his arms, and handed Lu Yan a bowl of noodles.

Looking at the noodles in his hand, he opened his mouth several times but didn't eat it. His intuition told him that this thing was edible, but for Lu Yan, who was used to eating normal food in the world of card masters, it was definitely something disgusting.

Putting down the box of noodles, Lu Yan took out the compressed noodles from his backpack, tore them open, and started chatting with the noodle stall owner.

"I'm a country bumpkin from the wilderness. Will someone like me who looks like a native here in Fansheng City be targeted by many people?"

"Tsk, kid, you've been targeted,"

The person who looked like a woman but had a male voice sneered, "I believe that soon someone will use various excuses to take you to an alley and sell you off whole."

"Isn't it a kidney transplant?"

"A kidney is worth a few bucks. A complete native like you sells for even more. Many wealthy people want a plaything like you."

A nearby diner interrupted, taking a sip from the bottle: "But you look so confident, are you really that strong? Can you be stronger than a gun?"

"Well, I'm bio-enhanced."

"No matter how much biological enhancement you have, your flesh and blood can never be stronger than steel. I'm afraid you'll be shot down in one go. I advise you to just give up struggling."

There were people watching the fun all around. As "ordinary people", they would not help Lu Yan in any way, but it would be fun to remind him, a foreign tourist, and scare him.

From this group of curious people, Lu Yan also roughly learned about the distribution of power in this city.

Like many punk worldviews, the top management of Fansheng City is composed of various powerful companies and forces. The strongest company is called [Thread of Maintenance], which is a subsidiary of [Civilization Coil].

When he heard about the civilization coil, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. The "Father of Bionic Machinery" Fei Lun once worked in that company.

The bottom layer is made up of gangsters, and the street where he is located is controlled by the Wolf Fang Gang. They have probably received the news and are planning to "invite" him to visit the Wolf Fang Gang headquarters.

Chapter 110 Gang Members.

Speak of the devil, the devil appears. Lü Yan had just stood up from his chair and was about to leave when a group of people rushed into the food court, blocking both exits. One of them locked onto Lü Yan's standing body with his exposed mechanical eyes and walked up to him without hesitation.

"Hey, kid, our boss invites you over as a guest."
