Mechanical Reconstruction has leveled up!
Compared to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Mechanical Reconstruction's proficiency is not as easily accumulated. This is because each time maximum proficiency is reached, it signifies a quality upgrade, and there are not many such upgrades, thus the quantity requirement is relatively high.
Bai Ye was able to upgrade so quickly thanks to the great battle in the Ruined City. Secondly, the area that previously faced sea beasts, while a doomsday zone, was also a future technology zone. Bai Ye, having nothing else to do, constantly dismantled things, keeping his proficiency steadily increasing.
The act of dismantling does not involve a "power" of strength or weakness; therefore, an increase in Mechanical Reconstruction means a reduction in the mental energy consumed during dismantling.
Concurrently, the mechanical products that could be reconstructed have advanced from small to medium-sized, and the manufacturing of electromagnetic cannons has been added.
Of course, the greatest improvement is the increase in reconstructable targets from 50 units to 150 units.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had earned the title "One Man Army" solely through his Mechanical Reconstruction ability.
Fifty units were indeed a bit lacking, but one hundred and fifty units held a certain significance. The title "One Man Army" could be considered to have taken its initial shape.
As Bai Ye mused, he looked down at the pile of parts at his feet.
The next instant, those parts were drawn by an invisible force, trembling on the ground. Subsequently, they began to assemble continuously, forming combat robots one by one.
Bai Ye chose the Medium Ground Strike Robot and the Rapid-Fire Turret.
The lower body of the former resembled a tank, while the upper portion was an irregular vertical cuboid, equipped with two rapid-fire laser guns, a plasma energy cannon that required charging, and a six-shot small grenade launcher.
Although it moved on tank-like treads, making its turns appear rather clumsy, its upper body could actually rotate 360 degrees, so its movement did not affect its targeting.
As for the turrets, there was little to say about them. They were fixed, only able to stand in place, and could fire continuous laser beams. Their power was similar to the laser guns of the Medium Ground Strike Robots.
However, the core advantage was that the turrets used nearly half the materials, naturally allowing for the manufacturing of more units.
Soon, two rows of turrets appeared on Bai Ye's and Li Jiayi's left and right sides, opening fire on the mechanical monkeys.
Simultaneously, the Medium Ground Strike Robots also began to assemble, advancing towards the alley entrance under the cover of the turrets.
Bang, bang, bang...
Laser beams constantly crisscrossed, striking the surrounding walls, and barriers quickly materialized, continuously rippling outwards.
The Medium Ground Strike Robots behind them began to advance, pushing forward and firing continuously.
The mechanical monkeys repeatedly swung their clubs to block the lasers. Eventually, they seemed to give up pretending, and two mechanical monkeys suddenly fired lasers from their eyes, leaving two deep gouges in the ground as they swept across.
Then...
Boom, boom!
Two Medium Ground Strike Robots exploded with a roar, engulfed in flames and black smoke.
However, Bai Ye quickly waved his hand, and new Medium Ground Strike Robots immediately replenished from behind, continuing to fire forward.
The terrifying aspect of Mechanical Reconstruction was not merely the limitation it imposed on dismantling mechanical objects.
One must understand that mere dismantling was only a defensive measure, and if the quantity was sufficient, it would eventually exhaust Bai Ye's mental energy.
Defense was important, but defense was never the key to winning a battle.
The terrifying aspect of Mechanical Reconstruction was that after dismantling the opponent, one could also turn the opponent to their own use.
In the end, the opponent's numbers dwindled, while the combat robots around Bai Ye increased.
But...
Bai Ye found that the situation seemed to be deteriorating.
The number of mechanical monkeys far exceeded Bai Ye's imagination. Even if he continuously dismantled and reassembled Medium Ground Strike Robots, their numbers seemed to show no decrease.
This was somewhat troublesome, as it indicated that the number of mechanical monkeys was beyond imagination.
Li Jiayi said, "This isn't working. We have to charge through."
Bai Ye nodded, pointed, and said, "Go!"
"It's fine for me to go," Li Jiayi said indignantly, "but can you stop using that tone, like you're commanding a hound?"
"Alright!" Bai Ye agreed, then waved again and said, "Go!"
Li Jiayi cursed but still advanced.
To put it bluntly, the effect of Mechanical Reconstruction was a war of attrition. However, in the current situation, if attrition was not feasible, then burst destructive attacks were needed.
"Weihe - Nine Tails!"
Li Jiayi roared, unfolding his Weihe behind him. Nine crystalline tails unfurled and danced continuously behind Li Jiayi.
"Consecutive Spear!"
Li Jiayi roared again, and those nine tails shot up into the sky simultaneously. After tracing an arc in the air, they continuously stabbed downwards.
Boom, boom, boom...
Each time a tail struck the ground, it created a deep pit and shattered the mechanical monkeys.
The previously stalemated situation was finally broken.
Bai Ye swiftly redeployed the Medium Ground Strike Robots, positioning the turrets at the rear, and the Medium Ground Strike Robots also turned to attack from another direction.
Bai Ye used this opportunity to intercept the mechanical monkeys in the back alley, while Li Jiayi took the chance to charge out of the alley entrance.
Then...
"Holy crap!"
Standing at the alley entrance, Li Jiayi was stunned. Bai Ye, who followed him out, also felt instantly overwhelmed.
The street outside the alley was densely packed with mechanical monkeys, filling the street at the alley entrance, and even spreading out to both sides of the street, with no end in sight.
The sheer number was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Li Jiayi glanced at Bai Ye and said, "So many, can you handle it?"
Bai Ye grinned. His mental attributes were indeed outstanding, but he couldn't withstand this kind of strain. If he dismantled so many mechanical monkeys, he might turn into an imbecile.
"You're a God Disciple," Bai Ye said. "I don't believe you don't have any hidden trump cards."
