The moment he stepped into this space, a system notification sounded in Shen Ru's ears:
"Player Shen Ru's degree of mechanicalization has increased to 20%."
Shen Ru said nothing, but he could feel the metallic streaks on his thighs spreading wildly. The farther they ventured in, the more his mechanicalization increased.

That also happened to put them halfway across the space.
They exchanged points for flashlights in the Shop. The moment they illuminated the space, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.
Everything within sight was surrounded by constantly writhing flesh. Even the distinct muscle fibers and the blood vessels buried in the flesh lay plainly exposed.
