236: Chapter 236 Mechs: A Man's Romance!

[Ding—Mythical-grade treasure chest opening complete!]

[Congratulations to player Red Wolf, you have obtained...]

[Mythical-grade vehicle plugin: Mecha Core!]

[Activation effect: Vehicle reconstruction.]

[Can convert the bound vehicle into mecha form; mecha volume is adaptively bound to the current total mass of the vehicle.]

[Attribute boost: Attack power increased by 5 times! Defense increased by 5 times! Mobility increased by 10 times!]

[Unlock core skill: Energy Matrix!]

[Fuel stored within the vehicle will automatically be converted into energy exclusive to the mecha at a certain ratio.]

[System warning: In mecha form, energy consumption increases exponentially. Please activate with caution!]

Lu Yuan looked at the light screen panel flickering with blinding red light before him, his breathing becoming heavy.

Mecha!

The ultimate romance of steel and artillery; no man in this wasteland could refuse such temptation.

"Install!"

Lu Yuan decisively gave the command.

A blinding crimson light instantly surged from the treasure chest, completely sinking into the heavy armor of the Red Wolf Tank.

After the light dissipated, the tank's external armor seemed unchanged.

But on the control console in the cockpit, a crystal button emitting a faint blue glow had appeared.

Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with fanaticism as he slapped it without hesitation.

"Activate!"

Rumble—!

The ground of the entire central square began to tremble violently.

The entire Red Wolf Tank, weighing over a hundred tons, suddenly let out a roar of steel that shot straight into the clouds!

Under the gaze of 300,000 people, it began an incredible physical reconfiguration.

Countless thick pieces of Crimson Armor, as if possessed by life, rapidly disassembled, flipped, and interlocked.

The chassis tracks broke and reconstructed, turning into thick, powerful steel legs that heavily crushed the hard stone slabs of the altar.

The turret lifted upward, splitting into a broad and imposing mechanical chest plate.

That absurdly large death god main cannon, amidst the sound of interlocking gears, perfectly merged into the right mechanical arm.

And the left hand section was equipped with the Electro-Storm secondary battery.

In just a few seconds.

A crimson steel behemoth nearly thirty meters tall, like a true ancient war god, rose from the ground!

Cold red light suddenly lit up from the mecha's electronic eyes, looking down on the entire scene.

The area around the square fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately after, a frenzied cheer that threatened to tear down the dome erupted!

The 300,000 members of the Red Wolf Guild were completely boiling over.

"Holy shit!!!"

Lin Zihao and Zhao Meng looked up, watching this steel behemoth radiating immense pressure, trembling with excitement.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Gundam!"

"A mecha! Boss's tank turned into a Gundam!"

"Cool! Too fucking cool! I'm going to suffocate!"

"This is the ultimate romance of men!"

"Tank to mecha, Boss's life is complete!"

"Awesome! Boss is awesome! Red Wolf is invincible!"

"Red Wolf Guild is the best in the world!"

The communication channel was briefly paralyzed at that moment.

The fanatical cheers and roars of 300,000 thugs almost shattered the blood clouds in the sky.

And at this moment.

Inside the mecha cockpit.

The moment the transformation was complete, a massive stream of operational data was directly implanted into Lu Yuan's brain via the system.

It was as intuitive as moving his own limbs.

He gripped the control sticks with both hands and pushed them forward forcefully.

"Boom—!"

The turbine engine behind the mecha erupted with a brilliant blue exhaust flame.

The powerful thrust directly shattered the altar's foundation.

The crimson mecha shot up from the ground, turning into a red meteor, heading straight for the sky!

The biting cold wind of the high altitude whistled outside the armor.

Lu Yuan looked down at the tiny ruined city below, experiencing the extreme speed brought by the tenfold mobility boost, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh ho ho!"

"Awesome!"

The mecha traced a perfect arc in the sky, with sonic boom clouds exploding layer after layer behind it.

The 300,000-strong army below watched, mesmerized, wildly waving their weapons.

Their eyes were filled with worship!

At the same time.

In a secret monitoring room deep underground.

The Black-robed Man watched the red mecha soaring in the sky on the screen, his entire being numb.

"Damn it..."

"Mecha Core... He actually drew this unique, game-breaking cheat?!"

The Black-robed Man bit his thumb, his expression shifting from shock and resentment to a twisted, sinister sneer.

"Fine then..."

"Go! Take your mecha and go to the World Center!"

"Let those self-important old ghosts taste this kind of despair too!"

"I can't be the only one suffering; let's all go to hell together!"

"Hahaha...!"

In the sky, Lu Yuan was weaving through the clouds with delight.

Suddenly, the cold system notification sound rang out frantically.

"Beep beep beep!"

[Warning! Warning!]

[Energy Matrix reserves are critically low!]

[Estimated remaining operating time: 1 minute!]

[Please land and replenish energy as soon as possible!]

The smile on Lu Yuan's face instantly froze, his brows locked in a frown.

Consuming energy this fast?!

The Red Wolf Tank had a super-large custom fuel tank with a capacity of up to 5,000 liters!

Even if a heavy tank was speeding, that would be enough to run in the wilderness for several days.

Yet now, a full tank of diesel couldn't even last two minutes?!

The energy bar was dropping rapidly at a visible speed.

Just at this critical moment, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since I can't afford the energy cost of normal flight..."

"Then I'll try my old trade!"

He controlled the mecha to turn sharply in mid-air, leveling the main cannon on its right arm toward the rear.

Charging!

"Fire!"

Boom—!!!

A black and white destructive beam of light spewed out.

The terrifying recoil exploded instantly.

At the same time, the V-200 energy storage engine mounted on the back of the mecha let out a low roar!

This god-level engine perfectly absorbed the massive recoil generated by the main cannon firing.

The massive kinetic energy was instantly converted.

On the system panel, the mecha energy bar, which was about to bottom out, suddenly surged upwards by a large margin!

It soared right back to 60%!

Lu Yuan looked at the once again full Energy Matrix, the corners of his mouth curling into an arrogant arc.

Recoil converted into power, and power recharging the mecha.

A perfect perpetual motion circuit!

"In that case..."

"Wouldn't I be truly invincible?!"

Rumble.

Test complete, the Crimson Armor mecha landed steadily in the central square.

The huge mechanical legs smashed deep pits into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The surrounding Red Wolf Guild members instantly swarmed over, frenzied and chattering as they gathered around.

"Boss, this mecha is simply invincible!"

"That round you flew in the sky just now was so fucking cool it was explosive!"

"With that main cannon's power, one shot could probably blast through the Earth's crust!"

Everyone gathered around, their eyes filled with fanaticism and worship for the power.

Just at this moment.

The resource radar on Lin Zihao's motorcycle suddenly started beeping without warning.

The sound was exceptionally urgent, even drowning out the surrounding noise.

Lin Zihao looked at the green dot lighting up on the radar screen, his eyes widening.

He abruptly looked up and excitedly looked at Lu Yuan: "Boss, why don't you fire a shot at the ground?"

"My radar shows that right beneath us, there seems to be a hidden secret base!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

In the monitoring room one hundred meters underground.

The Black-robed Man, who had been biting his finger and gloating while preparing to watch a good show, suddenly shuddered.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

"No, dude! People will die!"

"Let's talk this out properly!"

At this moment, he was genuinely so scared he almost pissed himself on the spot!
