Chapter 465: Rare Treasure: Mechanical Weapon Protocol, Rail Kinetic Pulse Sniper Rifle |
After settling the Aurora Animal Assistance Association meeting and the Hunter Training Camp, Yu Yuan returned to the shelter.
He began sorting through his spoils from this trip.
By now, most of the supplies in the Motel Main Guest Room and Taotao Hole had been cleared out, with all those resources transferred into the Hunter Training Camp’s warehouse.
The Epic-tier 【'Grim Reaper' Gatling Multi-barrel Machine Gun】 and the Epic-tier Mechanical Armor had also been left at the Hunter Training Camp.
Over the past two days, Masier and her team of mechanical engineers had been studying the body of the Mechanical Vanguard 'Blackfire.'
They were searching for ways to further strengthen the Mechanical Armor.
Now, with the Epic-tier Mechanical Armor as a reference, the Mechanical Armor would surely undergo an iteration upgrade soon.
Thinking this, Yu Yuan summoned a pair of mechanical gloves into his hands.
This was the 【Ruined City No. 7 Single-Person Kinetic Armor】, and then he pulled out three weapons.
An Epic-tier heavy hammer—the No. 15 Steam Kinetic Heavy Hammer from the Ruined City.
An Epic-tier longsword—Frost Shimmer.
This was Yu Yuan’s carefully considered combination.
The 【Ruined City No. 7 Single-Person Kinetic Armor】 could absorb weapons to unlock entirely new weapon modes, and Yu Yuan felt it was worth a try.
As the mechanical gloves fastened, they tightly hugged his palms.
Despite looking quite bulky, when actually operated, they were remarkably lightweight and nimble.
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of world is the Ruined City? Their mechanical craftsmanship is absolutely incredible!"
Then he grabbed the Epic-tier longsword 【Frost Shimmer】 and activated the absorption ability.
He saw the mechanical gloves at the grip transform into metallic fluid, gradually enveloping the longsword.
A progress bar appeared before Yu Yuan's eyes.
3%—6%—13%...
The bar advanced as the metallic fluid spread.
When it reached 100%, the metallic fluid had completely engulfed the longsword, then reformed into the mechanical gloves.
Yu Yuan only felt a slight chill in his palms.
In the description info of the 【Ruined City No. 7 Single-Person Kinetic Armor】, a new weapon option appeared—Longsword·Frost Shimmer.
With a thought, the mechanical gloves transformed into a metallic longsword, held firmly in Yu Yuan's grasp.
Its dimensions, size, and style were identical to the previous 【Frost Shimmer】.
The only change was that the entire blade now gleamed with a metallic luster.
Though it lost a bit of elegance, it gained a sense of raw power.
He twisted his wrist, casually forming a sword flourish.
Wispy cold air emerged from the sword tip, and a cluster of ice crystals burst from the ground.
"Oh? It was definitely enhanced."
Yu Yuan was delighted. Previously, 【Frost Shimmer】 could produce a chill, but it was never this pronounced.
Clearly, after being absorbed by the mechanical gloves, the gloves acted as an energy amplifier, boosting the ice energy.
This was no small enhancement method.
Without wasting time, Yu Yuan absorbed the heavy hammer and the sniper rifle as well.
But he didn't stop there. A metal sphere appeared in his hand.
Small, just the size of a fist.
This was Yu Yuan's true goal.
Rare Treasure: Mechanical Weapon Protocol
Function: ① Can perform a Mechanical Protocol on a weapon to turn it into a Mechanical Armament, and can fuse an Energy Core to grant that Mechanical Armament special effects; ② Mechanical Armament can change forms.
(Tip: Please note, Mechanical Armament is unique, so choose carefully.)
Yu Yuan also pulled out two rhomboid crystals gleaming with purple light—Unye Crystals (Epic).
These crystals were found in Xiao Xi's treasure vault, and they were the perfect choice for the Energy Core of the Mechanical Weapon Protocol.
【Do you want to perform the Mechanical Weapon Protocol on the 'Ruined City No. 7 Single-Person Kinetic Armor'? Do you want to choose to fuse Unye Crystals (Epic) as the Energy Core?】
—【Yes】
As Yu Yuan confirmed, the metal sphere floated before him, and the two Unye Crystals fused directly with it.
Then the sphere split in two, winding around the mechanical gloves.
Yu Yuan's hands were shrouded in streams of code and data. He could feel the gloves transforming, but he couldn't see what was happening clearly.
Until, over ten seconds later.
The code and data streams vanished. The mechanical gloves were completely renewed, their surface now a black-gold hue, and embedded in each glove's palm was an 【Unye Crystal】.
The mechanical armor's stats all upgraded.

————————
"Destiny Armor, not bad."
Truly a reward item from completing the Fate Card.
Still just as powerful.
"Enter combat form."
With the thought, the mechanical gloves immediately began to expand—from forearm to shoulder, then neck, and finally covering his entire body.
In the blink of an eye, he was encased from head to toe in black-gold mechanical armor, cold to the touch.
But strangely, Yu Yuan felt no heaviness on his body at all.
He made combat movements on the spot, incredibly agile and light, and his perception was enhanced, giving him a clearer awareness of his surroundings.
Not only that, but in armored state, he could also summon weapons, no longer limited to choosing between weapon and armor like before.
Yu Yuan raised his palm.
Thinking of a weapon, three options appeared before him—Hammer, Sword, Gun.
He naturally chose the heavy hammer, which he was most familiar with.
The next moment, he felt a weight in his hand as a kinetic heavy hammer materialized.
The hammer was a size larger than before, and its surface was wrapped in a faint, light purple glow, like a weapon after being enchanted with a buff.
It looked very high-end.
The hammer's current attributes appeared before him. In addition to the previous abilities 【Shatter】 and 【Skull-Crusher Hammer】, there was a new one.
【Shockwave]: When attacking a target, it causes high-frequency oscillation in the target's internal structure for 3 seconds, ignoring defense effects; when 【Shockwave】 effects stack, each stack increases the oscillation effect by +40%.
Ignoring defense effects? Wasn't this just hitting a cow through a mountain?
Great ability.
Then Yu Yuan checked the effects on the longsword and the pulse sniper rifle.
The longsword gained an additional +5 Sharpness.
The pulse sniper rifle's change was also impressive.
Unlike conventional firearms, it was far more futuristic in design, at least in Yu Yuan's eyes.
Its lines were sharp, its entire body a matte dark gray, with no wooden components or protruding structures; all functional parts were encased in a smooth shell.
The muzzle had no complex openings for traditional flash suppressors or compensators, only a multi-layered concentric ring structure wrapped in a pulse excitation ring, with a rail extension inside.
The barrel was a composite material encasing the magnetic rails and cooling pipes, with evenly spaced heat sinks.
On the gun body, a high-power optical scope, capacitor bay, rail generator, control panel, and sensor array were all seamlessly integrated.
Yu Yuan looked at the weapon's information.
Weapon: Rail Kinetic Pulse Sniper Rifle
Introduction: This is a weapon not to be underestimated.
Overall length: 1850mm
Effective range: 5000m
Muzzle velocity: 3000-5812 m/s (adjustable power)
Firing mode: Single shot
Magazine capacity: 8
Bullet caliber: 13.2×85mm
Drive method: Electromagnetic energy / Unye Energy
Functions:
① Plasma Pulse: During supersonic flight, it isolates air friction. Upon hitting a target, the plasma strikes before the core projectile, instantly softening or destroying the target's surface structure, melting surrounding tissue or electronic components. Gains 【Penetrate】, 【Splash】, and increased stealth effects.
② Electromagnetic Pulse Effect: The ionization trail generated as the projectile travels at high speed through the atmosphere, along with the energy release upon impact, can cause short circuits, localized interference, or damage to precision electronic equipment.
