The Most Random System

When Lin Li lifted this one hundred pounds of gold, he deeply felt the weight of responsibility.

It seemed like it wouldn't even fit under the bed.

"Can I take all of it?" Lin Li asked.

He was already here, taking it in batches would be too troublesome.

"Of course, it's at your full disposal."

Since the ring couldn't hold it, he had to carry it back on his return.

Having said what he needed to, Lin Li returned the marble bow and slingshot he brought as 'gifts', and promised to bring more supplies in the future, then bid farewell to Shi Dongchen, declining his invitation to stay, and left the shelter.

One reason, Lin Li still didn't want to set the return point inside the shelter.

The second reason was Lin Li wanted to test the mecha.

So Lin Li, holding the gold, found a tall ruined building a hundred meters away as cover.

The mecha was in his possession.

This thing wasn't suitable to test back in reality because Lin Li wasn't sure how tall this armor would be.

The ceiling height in his old neighborhood was estimated to be less than 2.4 meters. Since it's his perfect model, undoubtedly it's taller than him; if it exceeds this height, it couldn't manifest at home.

And testing it outside the neighborhood would be too risky; who knows if someone might just be appreciating the night scenery without turning on the lights.

So this world was the most suitable.

When the armor was manifested, Lin Li knew he made the right choice.

It was roughly estimated to be about three and a half meters tall.

It was a humanoid mecha like a Gundam, with an overall pitch-black color, the main body alloy covered with beehive-like patterns, and exposed joints flowed with a metal-liquid texture like mercury.

Underneath the two huge mechanical arms were two machine guns with an overwhelming presence, the dark muzzle very oppressive, and on the outer side of the left leg hung a bizarrely shaped 'knife'. The mecha was equipped with thrusters at the back, uncertain if it could fly.

It looked too cool.

Lin Li reached out to touch it, intending to feel the allure of this technology and metal, but the moment he touched it, the chest armor cracked open, revealing an internal cockpit, and Lin Li immediately felt a suction force pulling him in.

Lin Li did not resist, and actively used force, cooperating with the force to be pulled inside.

The chest armor closed, plunging his vision into darkness, and a jelly-like substance started to flood in from all around, completely enveloping Lin Li.

A very slight pricking sensation came, and Lin Li's vision was no longer just black.

"Connection successful"

"Pilot: Lin Li"

"Mecha synchronization index: 60 (120%)"

When the mechanical female voice sounded inside the armor, Lin Li's vision was restored.

It was the view from a mecha over three meters high, and just by focusing intently, the view would automatically zoom into wherever he wanted to look, with a holographic map currently being drawn floating at the edge of his vision, automatically locking onto several suspected targets and starting analysis.

The sense of technology was overwhelming.

Looking down, Lin Li saw his mechanical arms, and his ten fingers moved with his mind, flexibly without a hint of obstruction.

Moving his legs was the same.

The limbs were so flexible they were as if they were growing from his body, not cumbersome at all.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge to shout, Lin Li began to adapt and practice with this armor.

...

The plasma blade swept through a building, cutting through the wall with a burst of sparks, landing with a loud crash.

The noise was loud, but all the nearby zombies were already dead.

Inside the mecha, Lin Li's face was full of unstoppable excitement.

After spending more than half an hour, he had probably figured out most of the mecha's features.

Under each of the armor's arms is a rifle, with a total ammunition capacity of four thousand rounds, now leaving 3996.

The long-range attack modules are not just these two; pulse cannons are folded inside the shoulders, consuming energy when fired, hence the ammunition is displayed as infinite, related to power levels.

Four small reconnaissance drones are mounted on the back, not equipped with weapons but can self-destruct when necessary.

For close combat, there is a spear that can be extracted from the right palm, and the plasma blade Lin Li just saw on the outer side of the left leg, now in use in his hand.

The defense module features a retractable energy shield affixed to the front of the left forearm.

In terms of speed, without the thrusters, the combat armor's movement speed is not fast, somewhat clumsy.

Obviously, for traveling, low-altitude or high-altitude flight is more suitable.

High-altitude flight can maintain a speed of sixty to seventy kilometers per hour, which is already decent for such a bulky mecha compared to its small thrusters. The maximum speed is two hundred kilometers per hour, but a few minutes later, the thrusters will display an overload warning.

In half an hour, the power level dropped from 100% to 98%—mostly consumed during testing the limit speed.

Without considering the time flow, it was essentially six o'clock in the morning now, yet Lin Li wasn't feeling any drowsiness.

This mecha driving is just too thrilling.

A real man should drive a mecha!

This is the best birthday gift!

Mount Everest is 8,848 meters high, the highest Gundam in the world. Lin Li's Gundam is 3.6 meters, but now it's the highest-tech Gundam in the world!

The only pity is the limited rifle ammunition, and Lin Li currently has no way to replenish it, too reluctant to use it.

Another 'issue' is, when Lin Li is in the armor, items generated by the system manifest inside the armor and can't appear directly on the mechanical hands.
