Chapter 8
A cry of astonishment escaped Victor.
Red glow meant this Source Crystal was an advanced-grade crystal.
Ordinary Source Crystals are white, intermediate ones are yellow, advanced ones are red, epic ones are purple, and legendary ones are rainbow-colored.
Victor thought the
Source Crystal might contain something good, but he didn’t expect it to be this good.
Mechanical rats were among the lowest-tier mechanical creatures. Even if they dropped an advanced Source Crystals, the chances of it yielding something valuable were quite low.
“Is it because we’re in the exploration phase? Ah, who cares?”
Victor eagerly picked up the war scythe.
[Fine Electric War Scythe (Two-Handed)]
[Combat Power +50]
[Attacks are imbued with electrical energy, doing extra damage]
“Nice.”
Victor immediately discarded his custom-made saber and shield. Compared to the war scythe, the saber and shield might as well be trash.
The war scythe was an impressive ten meters long, matching Victor’s height Grasping it in his hands, he felt like a war god holding an immensely powerful weapon. He looked intimidating.
Electric currents danced along the scythe like wild silver snakes that emanated a thrilling electrical energy.
Victor was very pleased with the scythe and felt a tinge of gratitude for the mutated mechanical rat. After all, a tiny creature like that managed to drop such a massive weapon. It was quite a feat.
Although the war scythe was merely fine-grade, Victor was content.
He knew that getting a piece of fine-grade equipment at the start of the apocalypse was already a massive stroke of luck.
Equipment was divided into ordinary, fine, excellent, epic, and legendary grades, each grade representing a different tier of power. While this war scythe was only fine-grade, it significantly enhanced Victor’s combat
power,
“I’ve never used a war scythe before, I have to get used to it.”
Victor stood atop the mountain and swung the scythe as the wind whistled around him. The memories of wielding various melee weapons from his previous life flooded his mind.
He understood the commonalities of melee weapons, and with each swing of the scythe, a familiar feeling gradually revived within him. As time passed, Victor’s control over the scythe became increasingly deft.
What once felt like a strange weapon began to move fluidly and powerfully in his hands. Each swing sliced through the air, leaving sharp arcs in its wake.
Only after Victor had reached a certain level of proficiency with the scythe did he cast his eyes towards the rest of

the Source Crystals scattered on the ground.
In total, he had acquired over 800 Source Crystals.
From that, it could be deduced that the mechanical rats that had attacked him must have numbered over a thousand since five or six hundred had fled.
“Absorb Source C
“Ding! Mecha leveled to
Level 9. Combat power +2.”
“Ding! Mecha level increased to Level 10. Combat power +2. Mecha can now evolve.”
After 750 ordinary Source Crystals, Victor’s mecha reached Level 10.
He didn’t immediately opt for the mecha evolution. Instead, he first ran to the mountaintop and looked around New Wind Mountain. Only after confirming there was no danger did he choose to evolve.
Evolving the mecha required some time, and during this evolution process, the mecha was immobile. If any dangerous creatures were nearby, he could be attacked.
Fortunately, there were no wild animals on New Wind Mountain, just rats, which he had already driven away, so there was no potential danger.
“Evolve mecha.”
A mysterious energy seemed to surge forth from the void and descend on him like ancient magic.
He watched as his towering ten-meter mecha slowly got lifted off the ground, gradually floating into the air.
As it slowly rotated, its form began to undergo transformation, bit by bit. Every inch of steel seemed to be reshaped by this mysterious energy, and each joint was seemingly endowed with new life.
About ten minutes later, as the last wisp of energy dispersed in the air, the transformation of the mecha was finally complete.
Victor’s mecha was completely renewed.
The most striking change was its increased height. It had grown from ten meters to twelve meters, making it look even more imposing and powerful.
Its limbs had also become sturdier, as if they contained limitless strength.
“Evolution complete, Combat power +30. Mecha’s internal storage space expanded. Internal and external equipment slots activated, Gained ordinary external defensive armor, ordinary external thruster.”
