Subverting Everything, Machine Race Clone

This world is terrifying. Knowing the entire plot, Liu Yun naturally understands that the Golden Horned Beast will soon attack Earth, bringing a massive catastrophe to the entire world.

Familiar with the plot and possessing the capabilities of a powerful War General level martial artist, Liu Yun must plan ahead. After all, the disaster of the Golden Horned Beast is too perilous; he must race against time, otherwise, his wealth will be nothing more than an illusory dream when the time comes.

There are only a few years left until this disaster. If he were to indulge in the comfort of his successful recovery, Liu Yun would likely die in the chaos before long.

The Crystal Ball can replenish its energy simply by being exposed to sunlight; originating from a similar parallel universe, it can be considered the Evolution Heart of the Machine Race in this world. Liu Yun set the Crystal Ball aside and began to ponder his next move.

Just then, the Crystal Ball emitted a sound. The emotionless computational power of the Machine Race began to take effect, as it still retained some special abilities.

"Major hidden dangers detected in the host's body. Activating auxiliary medical functions. Based on current energy levels, only the most basic treatment can be provided."

"Activating combat auxiliary functions. From now on, the host will automatically receive computer assistance during combat. Auxiliary content includes combat power detection, holographic situational awareness, attack assistance, and analysis of enemy techniques!"

The Crystal Ball emitted a mechanical voice, and a blue radiance flashed, directly healing Liu Yun's body. It seemed that high-tech capabilities were truly formidable; it instantly cured illnesses that Earth's medical technology could not resolve.

Moreover, this was only the most basic and simple treatment. Compared to it, Earth's medical technology looked as crude as the witchcraft of cavemen.

However, the most heaven-defying ability of the Machine Race Clone was actually the combat assistance. With this aid, Liu Yun would truly be invincible in terms of technique; in the future, Liu Yun would be unable to function in combat without the computer's assistance.

"Inspection complete. The technological level of the world where the host is located is extremely backward. Please collect resources as soon as possible to build a simple primary base and obtain other basic assistance."

As it spoke, the Crystal Ball provided the construction method for a primary base, but this was still quite difficult at the moment; going out into the world alone would be certain death. This Machine Race Clone had many other incredible functions, and Liu Yun thought he should first use this thing to boost his strength.

At this moment, the scheduled news feed turned on, pulling Liu Yun back to reality.

"A Dragon-like Monster has appeared in the wilderness, killing several War General level martial artists before making its escape. A crusade team is now being recruited to hunt down the evil dragon."

"The military has announced significant progress in laser weaponry, which may allow for ultra-long-range strikes against monsters, improving the ability to contain Earth's monsters."

"The HR Alliance has announced the development of Cell Active Substance, which is expected to assist human activities and completely change the situation of the war."

The world is cold and indifferent. Because he had previously lost all his strength, his status as a martial artist began to waver. After all, he had truly become an ordinary person, and now, to make a comeback, he even required some basic assessments.

This assessment was merely to confirm Liu Yun's physical condition; it wasn't meant to make things difficult for him. After all, when martial artists go out, they must ensure their backs are covered by trustworthy people. If he couldn't even pass the tests within the base, there was really no point in going outside to die.

To this end, he needed to recover some strength first. After all, his consciousness was no longer the original one, and the current Liu Yun knew absolutely nothing about martial arts.

"Being abandoned doesn't matter, but if I want to develop a base, I must first have my recovery of strength acknowledged so that I can legally and reasonably enter the wilderness! Right now, I'm afraid no one will acknowledge my ability. What should I do?"

Liu Yun did not fear hardship, nor did he feel ashamed, so he quickly took action! First, he used some corrugated cardboard to patch the windows and block the cold wind, then he rummaged through the refrigerator for various cooked foods, tearing open the packaging and devouring them.

"It's truly amazing. I don't feel that sense of powerlessness in my body anymore!"

After eating and drinking his fill, he felt refreshed and full of energy, with no trace of being a patient left. This was a testament to the power of the Machine Race's auxiliary medical function.

This clone possessed many other magical abilities, but due to insufficient energy, they could not be used. Liu Yun had digested a portion of the Machine Race's memories and knew that solar charging was actually a very low-level energy source, only to be used when there was no base available.

If he could have a primary base, he could manufacture primary energy blocks, or even provide the Machine Race Clone with a physical shell, and then this Machine Race Clone would truly be able to recover more powerful abilities.

As the energy of the Machine Race Clone recovered, Liu Yun also felt a hint of warmth. He prepared to buy more food, as he had eaten everything just a moment ago.

Liu Yun opened the safe and checked it; there was still about a million left, lying there in the safe. He wouldn't be short of money for a short time.

He checked a few other rooms, all of which he had bought when he was earning big money. There were three rooms: one was his own bedroom, one was a storage room, and the third was a place for practicing martial arts, which had been modified to be suitable for basic training.

The training equipment left over from when Liu Yun was a powerful War General level martial artist was still there—knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and clubs; everything was available. Liu Yun began to train according to the memories of his original self.

The computational power of the Machine Race was very strong and served as excellent assistance for Liu Yun's training. It could quickly analyze the flaws in his movements and identify areas for improvement, which was of great help to him.

This Machine Race Clone could even generate a nutritional list, allowing Liu Yun to combine ordinary ingredients into food that would improve his strength. This point allowed Liu Yun's strength to rise rapidly.

When he went out, he bought a pendant made of silver. The Crystal Ball could shrink and expand, so Liu Yun shrank it and placed it inside the pendant, where no one could notice it.

Every time he went out, he could carry the pendant, and this thing could help him monitor people in all directions, detect their strength, plan routes, and avoid traffic jams. These functions seemed simple in the city, but if he were in the wilderness, they could truly save Liu Yun's life!

Liu Yun didn't just sit still. When he went out to shop, he also got a taste of the bustling life, as if it were the old Huaxia, with all kinds of people gathered together, performing a tragicomic human drama.

"Cloud Sea Crab Cream Potato Pancake!"

"Torrig Style Tartari Roasted Meat!"

"Stir-fried Snowflake Horned Lamb Leg!"

Liu Yun ignored all of this and went straight to the butcher shop, buying nearly a hundred pounds of beef and lamb. He also bought out all the various medicinal herbs from the pharmacy.

These beef and lamb were already expensive, and the medicinal herbs were even more so. Due to the breakdown of transportation, many unique herbs from various places could not be shipped in at all, costing Liu Yun nearly thirty thousand.

On one hand, he needed to eat well; on the other, he needed to take supplements to nourish his vitality, which could slightly increase his strength.

In the kitchen, Liu Yun used the analytical capabilities of the Crystal Ball to quickly concoct food that could slightly increase a martial artist's strength using ordinary herbs. Amidst the wisps of medicinal fragrance, Liu Yun once again recovered the capabilities of a powerful War General level martial artist.

Just as he was decocting the medicine, a knock came at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Liu Yun? Are you home?"

The person called out Liu Yun's name. Liu Yun was very puzzled upon hearing this. What was going on? Who on earth was looking for him?
