YM778.TV Chapter 117 Upgrading The RV
"This place should be safe for a few years," Maximus muttered as he surveyed his surroundings.
Due to the pervasive danger of the world, no place could be considered completely safe.
Moreover, based on his experience in trials, the longer one remains in a world, the greater their susceptibility to misfortune and various dangers.
Thus, Maximus needed to keep moving constantly.
"First, let\'s upgrade the Mechanical RV."
Although the mechanical RV was already top-notch, it was still no match for Tier 2 and above threats.
"System, scan."
The system scanned all the materials in the vicinity.
"Oh? There are many new materials."
Seeing the new materials, he accessed the Myriad World Mall and purchased information about these materials.
[100 thousand books - Price: 3,500 magic crystals]
"Input the information."
After acquiring it, he had the system integrate the information into his mind.
However, this time, he took it very slowly.
An hour later, all the information about the hundred thousand materials was transferred to his brain.
Due to the leisurely pace, there was no discomfort.
He could even move while the system transmitted the information.
[100 thousand mechanical materials: Initial (0/30 million)]
[+600 Life Points]
[100 thousand mechanical materials: Transcendent (Max)]
After the torrent of information flowed into his mind, he became familiar with the new materials.
"But this is not enough," Maximus muttered dissatisfied.
To ensure his survival for a hundred years, even in the face of Tier 6 biological monsters, he needed to modify the RV to be indestructible.
He started browsing the system for RV modification techniques.
[20 thousand books of Tier 0-6 RV Modification: Price: 2 million magic crystals]
"It\'s really not cheap," Maximus sighed.
But he bought it regardless.
[20 thousand books of Tier 0-6 RV Modification: Initial (0/5 billion)]
"Mastering this will be quite costly," Maximus clicked his tongue.
He checked his points to see if he had enough.
[Life Points: 8,256,831]
[Potential Points: 32,774,717]
"Well, there\'s still plenty to spare," Maximus sighed in relief, seeing the considerable number of points.
Fortunately, he had saved up during these three months.
He selected the option to add life points.
[+3,100,000 Life Points]
As his guarantee to rely on, even if it cost 3 million life points, he was willing to expend them.
Soon, a torrent of information about RV remodeling flooded his mind.
There were countless techniques, even ones that allowed direct upgrades to a spaceship or a destroyer.
From various entertainment facilities to defensive and attack functions.
There were even space-folding techniques that use void stones.
"Huh! That\'s amazing," Maximus clenched his fist.
If he could build his RV as he envisioned, this wasteland world would become like a vacation spot.
As he looked at the surrounding materials, his mind couldn\'t help but race with ideas on how to modify the RV.
"Let\'s get started."
...
Three years later,
The safe area where Maximus was located underwent an earth-shaking transformation.
Within a hundred-mile radius, there was no sign of undead, not even their bodies remained.
The once-ruined buildings were gone and replaced with various mechanical organs.
Making the wasteland, become a huge mechanical factory.
In an energy refining factory, Maximus took out a crystalized energy that took him years of trial and error
"This should be equivalent to a magic crystal," Maximus muttered.
Over the past years, while he was upgrading his RV, he had been pondering the energy problem.
Initially, he had considered using undead crystal cores, but in this world, anything that contained mana seemed to be nonexistent.
Thus, he had to strive to formulate his own energy source.
He once thought of Nuclear fusion.
However, it proved to be much more challenging than he had anticipated.
It was relatively simple for larger reactors, but to use it as an RV energy source, it needed to be compact and portable.
After extensive brainstorming, he conceived a solution.
Harnessing the rich biological energy of the undead and crystallizing and fortifying it.
In his hand now lay the first successful prototype.
"Test," Maximus used an energy meter he had created in passing to measure the energy in the crystal.
[Testing...
0.1...0.6...0.7...0.8...0.8...0.9...1.0...1.1...]
[Result: 1.3 Exajoules of energy]
"So much?" Maximus couldn\'t help but exclaim.
To put it in perspective, Earth\'s yearly energy consumption is only about 500-1,000 exajoules of energy, and this single crystal could generate so much.
Furthermore, it was composed of only hundreds of thousands of Tier 0 to Tier 2 undead.
If he could use a higher-tier undead, he was confident that he might be able to create an energy source comparable to the sun.
"I can use this for a few years," Maximus said as he clenched the crystallized energy.
"I\'ll call this energy crystal from now on."
Upon stepping outside, he was met with a sight vastly different from the previous wasteland.
"Robot No. 2, what\'s the situation with the RV?"
"The energy reactor is already installed, we\'re just awaiting the energy source," the robot replied.
Throughout these years, he couldn\'t transform the city on his own, so he created these robots.
Although it\'s not too advance and practical, but in the early stages it\'s already very good.
Fortunately, this world was once a mechanical world, filled with various materials and debris everywhere.
With abundant material, he can let go of his hand and feet, and create whatever he thought of.
The only issue was the presence of biological monsters; otherwise, this would have been a paradise for mechanics.
"Take me there."
"Right away, host."
Soon, they arrived at the city\'s center.
What greeted him is the RV like a heart connected to various mechanical arms and devices.
The RV had undergone a dramatic transformation.
If the wheels were arms and legs, no one would doubt that this thing was truly a monster.
Its size surpassed that of a mansion.
The entire interior formed a comprehensive system, producing food, clothing, materials, and more.
Essentially, it contained everything he would ever need in life.
This transformation was accomplished in just a year.
The only challenges that remained were its defense, attack capabilities, and energy.
As he stepped inside, he entered the RV\'s energy reactor.
Placing the energy crystal, the entire structure lit up, as if an ancient beast had been awakened.
[Booting...]
[Booting Successful]
[Welcome, host...]
The entire RV seemed to come alive, even greeting him.
The entire vehicle\'s functions were facilitated and controlled by this intelligent program.
Given the vehicle\'s immense size, it was practically impossible for him to control all its functions manually.
Fortunately, he had previous experience in creating an intelligent program.
"From now on, I will name you Wanderer," Maximus said.
[Wanderer greets the host]
"Hahaha, now I can truly settle in this world," Maximus celebrated.
*Rumble*
Just as he was celebrating, a rumble sounded in the distance.
"What\'s happening?"
"Wanderer, scan and see what\'s happening," Maximus commanded.
Since his system could only scan a few kilometers, it was more reliable to use the scanning device he had created.
[Host, a Tier 4 biological monster, along with a group of Tier 3 monsters, is approaching.]
"What? Such bad luck," Maximus complained.
He had just finished modifying the RV, and now monsters were coming his way.
"It seems like this world doesn\'t want me to get too comfortable," Maximus sighed.
"Retreat! Instruct the robots to evacuate the important materials," Maximus ordered.
Wanderer complied with the command and sent signals to the robots in the city.
"Unfortunately, there are no stronger materials available," Maximus muttered.
The RV\'s defense could only withstand Tier 3 attacks.
Regarding the weapons, they were only effective against Tier 3 biological monsters.
Of course, if he didn\'t care about the RV\'s destruction, the weapons could be overloaded to fend off Tier 4 biological monsters.
However, he had dedicated three years to reaching this stage, so he wasn\'t willing to do that.
A few minutes later...
[All important materials and items have been stored.]
[Are we ready to go, host?]
"Go! It\'s time to find stronger materials," Maximus ordered.
His primary limitation now was that only Tier 2 materials were available here.
He only made them as strong as Tier 3 materials due to his transcendent mastery.
Now, it\'s time to go out and explore to find more advanced materials.
...
On the other side of the world.
"Huff, this world is too dangerous," Silas muttered as he narrowly escaped danger.
Despite spending millions of years studying in the time chamber, especially in the field of mechanics.
It was still a drop in the bucket when it came to the multitude of materials.
Now, in this wasteland world, he was unfamiliar with the materials.
He can only fumble around and attempt to use similarities in the materials to create something.
"I wonder how Maximus is faring in this trial," Silas thought as he observed his state.
"Damn, another Tier 4 biological monster," Silas cursed as he jumped into his modified vehicle to quickly escape.
