The First Evolution

The two guys activated by the Star Mind have very low IQs. They are estimated to be at the level of a human child of three or four years old. They cannot do some complicated commands - such as the simple command "Pour me a glass of water". The metal element is only I know how to pour water, but I have to order it again and bring it to me.

At the same time, their life cycle is only five to ten hours.

Its advantages are also obvious: obedient and powerful!

Of course, Xingyi is also very happy and eager to activate metal elements, because she can get great benefits from it.

In the past, Xingyi has always been bad at activating metals. It has tried activating car batteries before and it seemed to work well, but don't forget that the metal content in the battery is probably less than half.

She directly activates gold ingots, iron ingots and the like, and the probability of failure is extremely high.

However, when Fang Linyan was doing repairs, Xingyi accidentally discovered that the scrapped parts disassembled from the damaged Decepticon had an astonishing probability of success in using the activation technique, almost reaching over 90%.

If replaced by other metal materials, under normal circumstances, Xingyi would only have a success rate of 1% at most.

After thinking about it, Xingyi felt that this was probably related to the nature of these parts. They had once "lived"! They are the former limbs of metallic life! !

So what are the benefits of activating metal objects to Xingyi? That is of course very, very important.

First, Xingyi has a special career milestone, which requires the successful activation of metal objects XX times, and the title rewarded by this milestone is to increase the life value of the activated creature by 50%.

Second, if Xingyi wants to continue to improve his activation skills, he needs to increase his proficiency in LV4 activation skills to more than 9,000 points before he can use potential points and general points to upgrade to LV5. Otherwise, he must use gold potential points. .

Although her success rate in activating leaves and the like is high, her proficiency level is very small. If she succeeds, she can only add 1-2 proficiency points. If she fails, she will not add any proficiency points at all.

However, if she succeeds in activating a metal object, she can directly increase her proficiency to an astonishing 30 to 100 points!

It is worth mentioning that there is a cost to cast an activation spell. The MP cost is deducted according to a percentage. With full MP value, you can only cast the activation spell three times. This is not a big deal. The cost of casting materials is also expensive, starting from five thousand. It ranges from universal points to 20,000 universal points.

Take the activated dead leaf butterfly that Xingyi usually uses, for example, it must be added with casting materials such as "Elf Dragon Wing Powder" to give it the ability to fly. This casting material is usually difficult to collect and can only be bought hard. One serving is 7500 universal points.

For example, in order to complete the task before, in order to ensure that the golden seal belonging to Zhang Mancheng could be activated successfully, Xingyi consumed more than 500,000 general points of casting materials!

Therefore, these old parts that Fang Linyan has replaced now are completely Xingyi's meat and potatoes, a god-sent place to practice skill proficiency, and the price-performance ratio is extremely high!

According to her previous calculations, under normal circumstances, the cost of gaining a point of skill proficiency is equal to about 800 general points.

But here, the cost of one skill proficiency is reduced to seventy points!

That’s ten times the price-performance ratio, and this doesn’t even include the corresponding time cost.

Once they leave here, Xingyi will have no place to find this special type of metal. After all, strictly speaking, they should be the remains of Transformers.

According to Xingyi's estimation, his proficiency here can be improved by at least 70% to 80%, saving more than 700,000 general points. According to the original plan, this will waste at least more than half a year.

Of course, Fang Linyan’s salary as a coolie here will definitely be generous:

He spent an hour and ten minutes repairing the first machine and only gained more than 230 reputation points.

But with the accumulation of work experience, his speed is getting faster and faster, and the quality of repairs is also getting better and better. The second body only took an hour, but he gained more than 300 reputation points.

Then Fang Linyan started to take big steps without worrying about holding on to the egg at all, and made an operation that surprised even the scalpel:

This guy picked through the maintenance pile for a while, and directly asked Metal Element to carry three ABC fuselages out. It seemed that he wanted to repair them at the same time, but in fact, he directly dismantled the A fuselage to pieces, and then only used half of it. I repaired both airframes BC using complete parts from airframe A in just a few hours.

It is impossible to achieve such a behavior with a scalpel, because he lacks creativity and can only rigidly follow the operating procedures, and the corresponding operating procedures of the Decepticons were last changed more than 300 years ago.

Therefore, Fang Linyan's reputation is also rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. Of course, Xingyi is also taken away because of the presence of metal elements.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to Fang Linyan's doing this: The advantage is of course that the risk is minimal and the reputation increases quickly. Needless to say, the disadvantage is that there are no trophies or additional rewards.

At this time, Soundwave was standing in the control room in the distance and staring at this side. The scalpel was standing on the table in front of him, looking very depressed. Luan was communicating with Steo:

"Oh! Master Confusion, I didn't find anything suspicious. What they asked me to do was very ordinary. It was nothing more than entering the backend of the website to get some information and querying some call records."

"Stuo, you idiot, do you have any other uses? What I want is something more specific, such as what information they are querying and whose call records they are!!"

"Lord Confusion!! Please don't hit me on the head. I just replaced it with a brand new frequency divider. That is a new product that was just transferred from the Cybertron Space Bridge."

"."

After a while, Luan transmitted some data to Sound Wave, and then said:

"In addition to completing their mission, these two humans are also very interested in a human named Kobe Bryant and several mutants. However, we have not seen any behavior against us for the time being."

Sound Wave said in a low electronic voice:

"The reason why they have no problem at least for a short period of time is simple. It is impossible for the Autobots to find a human with such excellent repair skills to be an undercover agent!"

Then Soundwave looked at the scalpel in front of him:

"I have contacted the planet Cybertron and sent the latest repair video of the demon knife."

"Shockwave's feedback is that Garn, the repair master in Iron Castle, is very interested in some of his repair techniques and thinks there is something remarkable in them. Comments say that this is a spark of wisdom from another race! "

"As you know, Master Garn is the master of the ambulance. Needless to say, his accomplishments in maintenance are needless to say. More importantly, he can make up for your greatest characteristic, which is your outstanding creativity!"

When Scalpel heard this, he could only make a series of electronic sounds of "chichijigugu", which should be the Transformers' unique way of venting their swear words.

Sound Wave simply looked at the scalpel and said:

"It is a virtue to admit that others are better than yourself! Scalpel, not to mention it should be able to give metal another life form. Have you ever thought about it, this means that it is possible for him to treat you, and even your scalpel family A logic bug that lacks creativity?”

"Go to work honestly! Don't waste time on these useless things. Just let these two humans waste some parts. We don't lack metal parts, but we lack people who can make these damaged guys move! "

"If you can repair those damn scraps in advance, then I will increase your energy block quota by 30% this month! But if you still fall behind even with help, I will punish you with an electric whip. ”

After hearing Sound Wave's words, the scalpel's four crab-like eyes suddenly shone, looking like the hard drive light on the computer was flashing. Then he nodded and jumped towards the workshop again. passed.

Although this short and thin guy is also very skilled in maintenance skills, he has many bad qualities: irritable, jealous, and selfish.

When it was shocked to discover that Fang Linyan, a human being with amazing repair talents, actually came to Sound Wave and did something very Decepticon-like, reporting that Fang Linyan had embezzled damaged parts (actually he was practicing the activation technique for Xingyi) , wanting to drive it away.

In order to get rid of it, Soundwave also used hard and soft tactics, and finally managed to get it away.

***

Fang Linyan was not clear about these things that happened behind the scenes. He was working hard on repairs at this time, shouting loudly for the two metal elements activated by Xingyi to work, and commanding them to carry a new piece of metal. The poured components arrive at the designated location.

Then Fang Linyan held the welding gun and stood there motionless like a sculpture. Even Xingyi observed it for more than ten seconds before he discovered that Fang Linyan was not motionless, but only his hands were moving.

To be precise, his right hand holding the welding gun was moving at a speed of almost one millimeter in ten seconds, and it was not moving in a straight line, but in a horizontal figure-eight trajectory similar to ∞.

This is also the chain welding method that Fang Linyan has studied carefully before. It has many advantages. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. It places high demands on the welder and consumes materials and hands.

Less than five minutes later, Fang Linyan's breathing began to become heavy, and beads of sweat fell on his forehead. For a space warrior with a digitized body, he should not be so weak, but one thing is very important. Fang Linyan used But it was not his usual familiar tools, but the welding tools provided by the Decepticons.

These things were not originally designed for human use! The light ones weigh dozens of kilograms, and they can use tools without hands in a short period of time to achieve results that impress even the professionals in Transformers. In addition to Fang Linyan's own extraordinary excellence, his newly upgraded talent also plays an important role. .

After Fang Linyan successfully welded the component, Xingyi said:

"There's going to be movement over there."

Fang Linyan said:

"Is it Kobe's side?"

Xingyi said:

"Yes, so far, three teams have paid the advance payment and purchased the corresponding materials four hours ago."

"Five minutes ago, I received a final payment. This means that a team has successfully verified our information and confirmed that the information is correct. The contract between us is also over. And as long as they make a move, they will inevitably involve someone. The hair moves the whole body.”

Fang Linyan said concisely and concisely:

"Then without further ado, let's go."

Xingyi said:

"And there's some bad news."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"you say."

Xingyi said:

"Do you still remember the ultimate secret of this world that I mentioned to you before?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Of course, this kind of opportunity is rare. So far, I have only come into contact with a similar secret once."

Xingyi said:

"There is a very important prop when it comes to this ultimate secret, and that is the thing called the Relic Crystal that I hold in my hand. I thought it was the only one before, and there is sufficient information to prove that my view is correct. ,but"

Fang Linyan smiled when he heard this:

"But the previous information was wrong?"

Xingyi shook his head:

"No, the information is not wrong. This relic crystal is indeed unique, but it was broken into three pieces in an accident seventy years ago!"

Fang Linyan frowned and said:

"So theoretically, there are two other people who are also your competitors?"

Xingyi sighed:

"The latest news I got is that this guy walked in front of me - he brought this thing in front of Optimus Prime, and then the fragment of the relic crystal in his hand emitted a dazzling light! It can even be read from the light provide some important information."

"It's just that the next step is for Optimus Prime to go and help. Obviously, a guy like Optimus Prime will not take action easily, and this person's own strength is still relatively weak, so he still has to think about it now We must try our best to increase the friendship with Optimus Prime, otherwise, we can admit defeat directly. "

Fang Linyan thought for a while and said:

"Let's go, there's no point thinking about this now. We can't control the other party's progress, so we can only do our own thing step by step. After all, the ultimate secret of the world depends entirely on luck, and we can't rush it. "

At this time, Kotiya had transformed into a motorcycle and slowly drove here to a stop. In the busy urban area of ​​New York, apart from helicopters, motorcycles are obviously the most convenient and quickest means of transportation to reach the destination. .

After the two got in the car, Kotiya started driving automatically. Looking at the steel factory gate that was quickly going away, Fang Linyan suddenly said:

"Do you know what those Desert Snake people are doing?"

Xingyi said:

"I don't know the specific tasks very well, but they are just the same types as before, killing, kidnapping, and destruction."
