Technological advancement begins with devouring.

Bang~!

A huge metal fist slammed into the forehead of a gray wolf, denting its skull.

Blood- and brain-stained fragments of flesh and bone flew everywhere.

The gray wolf's hard head couldn't even withstand a single blow.

Even without using firearms like the "Ripper," the sheer power of their fists and feet is something that ordinary monsters cannot contend with.

However, combat is not Jarvis's forte.

The boxer controlled by the subroutine moves quickly and powerfully, but occasionally feels stiff and reveals some obvious weaknesses.

In a battle of equal skill level, this brief opening can often be fatal.

However, artificial intelligence also has top-notch learning capabilities.

Jarvis's growth was almost visible to the naked eye during his battles with the wolf pack.

From the very beginning, facing close-range attacks from three to five gray wolves simultaneously will leave the opponent with openings that can be directly attacked.

In the end, even when facing six or seven gray wolves, the [Boxer] could easily dodge every attack and seize the opportunity to quickly kill the enemy.

In just a few minutes, the wolf pack was reduced to only a dozen or so.

The Silver Moon Wolf, hidden in the building, realized it couldn't break through this tough nut and let out a long, unwilling howl, ordering the pack to retreat.

[Boxer] noticed the presence of the Silver Moon Wolves, but did not pursue them. He simply fired a few shots, killing a few slow-moving Grayback Wolves, and continued to advance deeper into City 003.

As for the corpses scattered on the ground, [the boxer] showed no intention of cleaning them up.

Monsters of the Beast Soldier level are not valuable as materials, and there are too many of them, making it too troublesome to bring them back. There is no need to collect them.

[The Boxer] continued forward, along the way eliminating several more ignorant beast packs and even killing two beast general-level monsters.

Unfortunately, they were all only low-level beast generals, and the integrity of their corpses was also low, which greatly affected the value of these materials.

However, the Boxer carefully dismembered the corpses of the two Beast General-level monsters and took out the most valuable materials, placing them into the storage box inside the mech.

Seeing this through remote video, Jiang Chen looked surprised and asked, "Jarvis, your subroutine can also determine the value of monster materials and collect them as needed?"

“Yes, the data I left for the subroutine includes the prices of monster materials. As for collecting valuable materials, that should be its own judgment,” Jarvis replied.

After the network connection was disconnected, Jarvis was unable to determine what decisions his subroutine would make.

However, Jarvis was still confident in the general direction, since the most crucial instructions were implanted into the subroutine before the network was disconnected, which was bound to be error-free.

As for other minor details, even if mistakes are made, they won't cause too much of a problem.

"However, the energy consumption is still a bit high. We've already changed the batteries four times since leaving the forward base." Jiang Chen frowned, looking at the various parameters of [Boxer].

Among them, the functional modules bear the heaviest burden. Relying on batteries for power, the [Boxer]'s continuous combat ability is greatly reduced, and batteries must be replaced frequently to maintain full combat effectiveness.

The consumption of bullets was also considerable.

While the [Boxer] can engage in close combat, their primary means of eliminating enemies still relies on the [Ripper] rifle.

No matter how accurate the shot, the probability of hitting a vital spot is only about 50% when facing a horde of beasts that can move and dodge at high speed.

Add to that the sheer number of beasts, and even a small-scale battle can consume hundreds of bullets.

Only because the boxer is mechanically driven and has a much higher load-bearing capacity than human martial artists can he maintain a good fighting ability after so many battles.

However, even the strongest load capacity has its limits.

This means that while the standalone Boxer mech is quite powerful, it still has obvious weaknesses.

Only by establishing a robust logistics system and other essential components can we guarantee a sufficiently reliable combat capability.

While Jiang Chen was pondering, [Boxer] had already penetrated into one of the most core areas of City 003, in front of a landmark building in the city before the Great Nirvana, a tall, pointed tower.

According to the intelligence provided by Li Dawei, there is a mid-level lord-level monster called 'Giant Rock Black Bear' inside this tower, which is also the target of [Boxer]'s hunt.

After a series of battles, the boxer's body was covered in filth, blood, and bits of flesh.

These were left behind by monsters killed in close combat by the [Boxer], giving the mech a more ferocious look.

Upon arriving at the tower, [Boxer] paused for a moment, seemingly contemplating his next move.

-

Inside the studio, Jiang Chen stared nervously at the large screen.

Given the performance of the [Boxer], it has a good chance of winning against a high-level lord-level monster.

Dealing with mid-level lord-level monsters, as long as they are not flying monsters, is practically a sure thing.

However, this is just a calculation based on data such as speed, attack, and defense on paper.

Real-world combat is not just a game of comparing data.

Jiang Chen wasn't sure if a single Boxer could defeat or even kill the Giant Rock Bear leading a large herd of beasts.

Only performance in actual combat has sufficient value and significance.

"We still have 1132 bullets left, and the batteries are newly replaced. That should be more than enough to sustain us through this battle. Ordinary beast soldiers and beast general-level monsters won't pose much of a threat. I just don't know if we can successfully take down that 'Giant Rock Black Bear'."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

In the scene, the boxer has broken through the defenses at the bottom of the tower and entered the third floor, where the 'Giant Rock Bear' is located.

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' is nearly ten meters tall, three times taller than the 3-meter-tall 'Boxer', and its massive physique is incredibly imposing.

Upon witnessing the [Boxer] slaughtering his subordinates, the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' immediately let out a roar, the powerful sound waves causing cracks to appear on the walls.

Boom~!

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' stomped its feet hard, leaving a crater in the ground, and its entire body accelerated to supersonic speed in an instant. Its two furry paws slammed down on the 'Boxer' with the force of a thunderbolt.

The force of that slap was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks; even a warrior at the level of a war god wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on.

In terms of design performance, the [Boxer]'s armor is indeed not afraid of this level of attack, but it has no intention of taking it head-on. It immediately dodged to the side and raised the [Ripper] to fire continuously at the 'Giant Rock Black Bear'.
