51: Chapter 51: The reward is a useless building? Let's just modify the Living Factory!

"Ding!"

"Thirty-one consecutive wins! Your ranking has soared to 890th in the provincial rising star rankings!"

A mechanical synthesized voice echoed over the vast virtual sandbox.

Lin Yuan hovered against the backdrop of the dark starry sky, surrounded by over two thousand murderous Tyrant Demons.

He raised his hand, signaling the Tyrant Demons to restrain their aura.

"Retreat."

The command was issued.

The Tyrant took the lead in retreating, its body merging back into the shadows.

The remaining Tyrant Demons moved in unison, quietly lying in wait on the void platform below Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan did not immediately start the next match.

He stood in place, quickly replaying the thirty-one battles that had just ended in his mind.

Especially the last match against the tech-side heavy armored steel fortress.

"Titan defends, Shadow Lurker attacks." Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. "The practical effect of this dual-line combat system is even more monstrous than I expected."

The tech-side's greatest pride on the battlefield lies in its beyond-visual-range firepower coverage and life radar detection.

But in front of these two types of Tyrant Demons, it barely had any effect.

The Titan Violent Demon's layer of [Living Liquid Metal Armor] has reached the pinnacle of its rank in terms of physical defense and energy resistance.

The traits of the Shadow Abyssal Demon are the bane of all radar and thermal imaging.

On the battlefield, as long as the Titan Violent Demon draws fire from the front.

The Shadow Abyssal Demon can sneak into the enemy's back row and cut off their firepower hub.

Able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

No pain, no fatigue.

"Very strong." Lin Yuan gave an objective evaluation.

However, he did not become complacent because of this.

Lin Yuan looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through this virtual starry sky sandbox.

Looking toward the Interstellar Great Wall spanning the edge of the universe in the real world, and the Abyssal Demon God outside the Great Wall.

"The scene that Commander Xiao showed me is the true greatness."

Lin Yuan secretly warned himself in his heart.

That girl just now, all peak silver-tier believers, plus three gold-tier heavy mechs.

On the provincial rising star rankings, she was only ranked in the eight-hundreds.

"The threshold for the top 1,000 in the province is already this high; how deep must the foundations of the monsters in the top 100 be?" Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.

He suddenly thought of Xiao Ting.

That guy's name is firmly hung in the ranks of the top 100 in the province.

"It seems that the one surnamed Xiao is not entirely a straw bag who only knows how to rely on his father." Lin Yuan reached a rational conclusion.

If he wants to get the incomplete divinity fragment at the top of the rankings, his current foundation is still not enough.

"Ding! It is detected that your ranking has entered the top 1000 of the provincial rising star rankings, triggering the phased reward mechanism."

"The reward has been issued to your Divine Domain terminal, please check it."

The mechanical voice interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

He collected his thoughts and clicked on the virtual interface of the Divine Domain terminal.

The mailbox icon flashed.

Lin Yuan clicked to extract.

"Your exclusive account has received: 10,000,000 faith points."

"You have obtained: Random Silver-tier Building Blueprint x1."

Ten million faith points is a huge sum of money for an ordinary high school student that is enough to change their destiny.

But for Lin Yuan, who had just obtained two hundred million in startup capital from the military, it can only be considered the icing on the cake.

His attention was focused on the blueprint floating in his virtual backpack.

He clicked on it with his mind.

The detailed information of the blueprint popped up.

[Building Name: Fully Automatic Mechanical Smelter]

[Rank: Silver-tier]

[Origin: Edge Star Region of the Mechanical Divine Kingdom]

[Function: Built-in basic forging array. Just input rough iron ore and energy, and it can run fully automatically through an assembly line, smelting and crafting large quantities of Black Iron-tier standard weapons (e.g., standard longswords, standard tower shields, etc.).]

[Prerequisite material requirements: 5 tons of Profound Iron Ore, 1000 firebricks, 1 low-level energy core.]

The moment he saw the blueprint attributes clearly, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. A Black Iron-tier weapon assembly line.

For the vast majority of gods who follow the elite soldier route or high-tier troop route, this thing is extremely useless.

Tasteless to eat, a pity to discard.

But as Lin Yuan looked at the words "fully automatic assembly line" on the blueprint, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"For others, it's a garbage dump that produces junk, but for me, it's like sending a pillow when I'm sleepy."

The Abyssal Blood Living-Metal Tyrant Demon wants to strengthen the Living Liquid Metal Armor on its body surface.

Besides devouring flesh and blood, the simplest and crudest way is to devour high-strength metal.

"This smelter can only craft Black Iron-tier weapons because its internal array is too low-level to withstand the melting point of high-tier metals."

"But what if… I modify it into a living building?"

A feasible idea flashed through Lin Yuan's mind instantly.

The Black Blood Drill Ground and Abyssal Carrion Tree in the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Both underwent terrifying mutations after fusing with the [Living Metal] trait extracted from [Abyssal Star Meteor Liquid Gold].

The organisms in his current Divine Domain also possess the genes of this living metal.

With his train of thought cleared, Lin Yuan stopped wasting time.

"Disconnect."

With a flash of light before his eyes, Lin Yuan's consciousness exited the starry sky war chess.

Returning to the bedroom of his independent villa.

Lin Yuan casually clicked on the Pantheon Trading Network.

"500 tons of Profound Iron Ore, 100 tons of Red Copper Essence, 50 tons of Deep Sea Sunken Silver…"

"Ten Silver-tier energy cores, give me ten directly."

"All sorts of messy high-tier scrap alloys, as long as the price is right, sweep them all."

Lin Yuan's fingers swiped rapidly across the light screen, and in less than a minute, a full seven million faith points were spent.

"Beep! The supplies you purchased have been delivered to the designated Divine Domain coordinates via a spatial wormhole."

After confirming receipt.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and sank his consciousness.

The gray sky, dark red blood rain falling.

Lin Yuan descended over the Wasteland Divine Domain.

His gaze locked onto a circular volcanic belt in the far north of the Divine Domain.

The crust there was extremely thin, with dark red magma rolling in the crystalline scorched earth cracks, and the temperature was extremely high.

"This is the most suitable place for a forging area."

Lin Yuan raised his hand, and with a thought.

The mountain-like ores and materials he had just purchased, along with the Silver-tier blueprint, all fell from the void onto the edge of the volcanic belt.

"Build."

Lin Yuan let out a low shout.

Silver-white light enveloped all the materials.

The earth trembled, and the crystallized crust was reshaped by an invisible force.

Under the reshaping of divine power.

A vast mechanical factory full of heavy metal industrial style rose from the volcanic rocks.

A fifty-meter-high chimney pierced the sky.

Crawler conveyor belts intertwined with each other.

Hundreds of mechanical arms hung upside down from the beams and columns inside the factory building.

In the center of the factory was a blast furnace with a diameter of over thirty meters.

"Start." Lin Yuan issued the command.

"Rumble—!"

The meshing of gears made a harsh grinding sound.

The energy-absorbing pipes at the bottom pierced into the magma pool below, extracting geothermal energy.

A raging fire ignited inside the blast furnace, and the assembly line began to operate.

Lin Yuan stood in mid-air, coldly watching this newly built Silver-tier building.

It had a strong industrial atmosphere and looked very intimidating.

But as the first batch of Profound Iron Ore was fed into the blast furnace, after a dozen processes.

And finally, when a dozen rough Black Iron longswords were spat out from the end of the conveyor belt.

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Too brittle. With so many impurities in this mortal iron, the Tyrant Demons wouldn't even have the interest to chew it up."

He did not hesitate any longer.

His gaze turned, locking onto the Endless Slaughter gladiator cage several tens of thousands of meters away.

There, the Tyrant Demons were conducting their daily life-and-death struggle.

Amidst the flying flesh and blood.

A Tyrant Demon that had just broken through to the Silver Seven-Star rank had most of its body torn off by a companion, and blood was spilled all over the ground.

It fell to the ground, its chest heaving violently, and its vital signs were fading rapidly.

The compressed strong acid and liquid metal fragments inside its body had already begun to emit a dangerous red light.

"Deadly Poison Explosion" was about to be triggered.

Just at this critical moment.
