"Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube?!"
Lin Xian realized, and hurried towards Car No.1.
"Hey, didn’t you say you were out of strength?!"
As soon as KIKI entered and saw Lin Xian back on the train, his originally exhausted demeanor suddenly appeared full of life and energy. She immediately realized, was this guy faking it earlier?
Lin Xian was unaware of KIKI’s thoughts, and at this moment quickly arrived at Car No.1, found the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, and activated it.
[Beep! Conducting reflection detection using non-mechanical force.]
[Detection successful, no fear risk inside the train, dark force intrusion shielded.]
[Non-mechanical energy transformed, gained 1000 Mechanical Source Points.]
It seems that last night’s full firepower of the entire team yielded more than just that. So many Abnormal Bodies and human abnormal kills, including the black centipede at Hengshan Pass, were all absorbed and transformed into Evolutionary Power by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum during the night.
At this time, Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin and others hurried over. Lin Xian turned back to look and saw everyone was now vigorous, with no trace of the fatigue from last night’s battle. He immediately felt happy and asked,
"How do you all feel physically now?"
Chen Sixuan did not expect Lin Xian to ask such a question and replied with some confusion: "Pretty good, why?"
Instead, Sha Sha, who was beside her, noticed something: "Sister Chen, didn’t you stay up all night?"
Everyone looked at her in unison, and Chen Sixuan shook her head.
"It’s strange, I really don’t feel particularly fatigued."
"Speaking of which, I have the same feeling." Shu Qin also stood up at this moment: "I haven’t rested for long, but I feel full of energy. Could it be, we evolved from killing the Abnormal Bodies?"
Lu Xingchen now stood with an enigmatic expression: "Eliminating the dark evils at night inherently aids in improving one’s cultivation."
Lin Xian nodded, observing everyone’s condition, the energy transformation of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum indeed benefited those on the Infinity. However, he did not explain about the Hell Black Chrysanthemum or the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube. Firstly, because it’s somewhat difficult to comprehend, and secondly, because Lin Xian hadn’t entirely figured it out himself, only knowing it’s currently something beneficial for everyone.
[Congratulations, Mechanical Heart successfully upgraded to LV.4 and gained passive skill Mechanical Amplification!]
[Mechanical Amplification (Passive)]: Mechanically amplifies Special Skills (Max Level), turning them into mechanical-exclusive skills. Requires consumption of mechanical materials for amplification casting. Note: Using Mechanical Amplification Skill will no longer have proficiency levels, and can gain Mechanical Manufacturing (Active) proficiency.
[Skills available for amplification.]
Wind Cannon (Common) (Level 3, Max Level): Can be amplified into: [Mechanical Energy Cannon]
Amplification Materials: Titanium Alloy *100, Hot Rolled Forging Steel *100
Amplification Time: 20 hours
Ice Wall (Common) (Level 3, Max Level): Can be amplified into: [AT Field Shield]
Amplification Materials: Super Carbon Carbyne Alloy *10, Type I Tungsten-titanium Alloy *50
Amplification Time: 30 hours
Surprises kept coming, and Lin Xian was dumbfounded. He originally planned to return to Hengshan Pass Station to upgrade two locomotives, but upon returning to the Infinity, he unexpectedly obtained the non-mechanical energy transformation of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum via the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, directly boosting his Mechanical Heart to Level 4.
Moreover, this new skill of the Mechanical Heart was precisely what he needed. In recent battles, his Wind Gun felt useless, worrying about not having new skills.
Now, not only did he gain a new skill through devouring the nuclear-powered turbine processor, but he can also mechanically upgrade his previous Wind Gun through Mechanical Amplification, turning it into a mechanical-exclusive skill. This is like receiving a pillow for a nap—just what he needed!
[Commencing Wind Cannon—Mechanical Amplification]
[Mechanical Amplification Commenced: Wind Cannon 19:59:59]
The materials at the Decomposition Center were continuously being consumed. Lin Xian glanced and could only upgrade the Wind Cannon first because the Super Carbon Carbyne Alloy needed for the Ice Wall was something he never had scanned and the Preparation Factory couldn’t convert, so he had to set it aside.
"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian safely returned and immediately synchronized the latest information gathered from the radio, then looked to Lin Xian to see how he would plan next.
"Dalate Town?" Lin Xian asked.
Chen Sixuan replied: "Heading north from Hengshan Pass for about 900 kilometers is the Yunzhou Mountain Range. Dalate Town is a small town; the railroad does not pass through, but it’s not far away."
Lin Xian nodded, his expression serious as he said: "It seems that the Extreme Cold Vortex is getting close to Hengshan Pass. If we head east to the Weihe River, although we won’t pass Bailu Swamp, it’s relatively close, with a risk of encountering an S-Class Abnormal Body."
"In that case, perhaps heading south is the safest." Shu Qin said at this moment: "We’re currently at Qingshui. If we go from Lancheng, through Yunlan, then to Jin Hai, we can return to the main Star Orbital line."
"Where’s the safety in that?" KIKI was sitting on a couch nearby, biting a lollipop, studying a map on her mobile terminal: "The southern line is too close to the edge of Star Abyss No.7; unless nothing happens along the way, we’ll definitely end up inside the Star Abyss Polar Night."
"All the same," Lin Xian said: "Going north means circumnavigating the northern region of Star Abyss No.5, going south means circumnavigating the southern region of Star Abyss No.7, and going east means going between the two Star Abysses. If it weren’t for that S-Class Abnormal Body, the safest and fastest route would be the eastern route along the Star Orbital, but regardless of the route, once we set off from Hengshan Pass, the dark tide will get closer and the nights longer. This could be a very dangerous phase for us."
