Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

I remember when he first arrived in the wasteland, he obtained the electromagnetic laser gun by opening the newbie gift pack. He then hunted down monsters and gradually accumulated experience and resources to grow to where he is today.

Time reverses, returning to one year ago.

(The main character in this book is somewhat abstract.)

Milky Way, a fraudulent planet.

Another all-night battle.

The computer screen displayed the dazzling flames of the exploding mech wreckage, while excited cheers came through the headphones.

Yay... I beat the game.

Chen Yuan took off his headphones and rubbed his dry, red eyes.

He leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat weary, and sighed, "If only... I could actually pilot a mecha... how wonderful that would be..."

The thought, as usual, quietly slipped through Chen Yuan's mind, but the internet is still just the internet, and reality will slap you in the face and bring you back to reality.

"Ever since the fortune teller told me that I would have great luck in the next few years, I've been lying at home playing games and don't want to work hard anymore."

"Just today, as soon as I stepped out, a Dayun car rushed towards me without hesitation. At that moment, I had only one thought in my mind: He is indeed a master, his prediction was really accurate."

In his final moments, Chen Yuan vaguely saw an extremely dazzling white light flying towards him.

"Do you believe in light?"

As Chen Yuan was about to die, he thought he was about to transform into Ultraman Tiga, but the white light pierced through his arm and went straight into his brain.

Suddenly, an indescribable, tearing pain swept through my body, as if every cell was being forcibly dismantled and reassembled.

Chen Yuan felt the pain and screamed loudly (he was only conscious but unable to scream), as if he had been thrown into a bizarre, rapidly spinning vortex.

The concepts of time and space are completely confused.

Chen Yuan felt as if he were mentally deranged and had a split personality.

It was as if I saw countless fragmented images: my father's withered face before his death, my mother's resolute back as she left, the slow-motion of the mechs exploding in the game, and finally, an endless, gray wasteland filled with twisted flesh and rusted steel.

When the pain that a human can endure reaches its peak, Chen Yuan loses consciousness, and his eyes turn a deathly white.

……

Icy.

When Chen Yuan regained consciousness, the biting cold, as if he had been hidden in a refrigerator, mixed with an indescribable stench, like rust mixed with rotting flesh, roughly pulled Chen Yuan from his coma.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

Chen Yuan struggled to open his heavy eyelids, feeling as if he'd drunk too much horse urine the night before and was about to vomit bile. (What kind of ridiculous analogy is that?)

What came into view was neither the familiar ceiling of the rented room nor the bright lights of the city at night.

Instead, it was a leaden gray, like a frozen sky, unable to let in a single ray of sunlight.

As far as the eye can see, there are twisted and broken giant metal skeletons, bizarrely shaped "flesh-and-soil" figures half-buried in the sand, and scattered, rusty vehicle wreckage...

The scene was desolate and deathly silent.

It carries a suffocating, apocalyptic atmosphere of utter abandonment.

It's not an illusion, it's the end of the world.

"Where...where is this?"

"What are you doing for me?"

"Holy crap, is this still in China?"

Chen Yuan struggled to sit up, but found his whole body aching and weak, as if he had been run over by a heavy truck. (Uh, it seems like he really was run over.)

The fragmented memories are chaotic, like playing a jigsaw puzzle.

Blinding white light, tearing pain, a spinning vortex...

game?

Dreaming upside down?

Or is it what they call wearing?

[Beep, host's vital signs are stabilizing...]

[Environmental scanning in progress... High radiation, low oxygen, and the presence of unknown high-threat biosignatures confirmed... Consistent with post-apocalyptic wasteland and mana ecological erosion characteristic models.]

[Ding, Future Technology Assistance System... Creator Protocol activated. Bound host: Chen Yuan.]

A cold, emotionless, synthesized electronic voice suddenly and without warning rang directly in his mind.

Chen Yuan froze abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracting.

This isn't a hallucination?

The Universe has arrived!

[The onboarding process has started.]

[New player survival gift pack being distributed...]

[Ding, the gift pack has been delivered to the host's consciousness space. Please check it.]

With this sound, Chen Yuan felt as if a small, softly blue virtual interface had appeared in his "consciousness".

The words "Newbie Survival Gift Pack" are clearly displayed at the top of the interface.

The immense shock temporarily overshadowed the physical pain.

Chen Yuan was extremely excited, so excited that he immediately wanted a set of great swords.

cross?

system?

Wasteland world?

Mana ecology?

He felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen a similar plot in an anime on some pirated website before.

It had been too long, and Chen Yuan vaguely remembered the characters in that anime. They seemed to be something like the White-Haired Girl (Bai Yuekui), Piccolo (Mark), Shar-Pei (Shalif), Chelsea (Charles), Wolverine Morgan (Lord Morgan), and so on. In short, he couldn't remember them very clearly.

He vaguely remembered the plot, but his memory would probably become clearer when he saw the anime characters.

"Open...open...open the gift pack!"

Chen Yuan tried to communicate with the system, his words slurred and hesitant, trying to confirm if it was real, as this might be his only hope of survival.

[Command confirmed, New Player Survival Gift Pack now available...]

[Obtained: Basic Nanosteel Suit (Set) x 1.]

[Received: Hummingbird Portable Electromagnetic Gun x 1.]

"Swipe!"

Two soft yet undeniably present beams of blue light appeared out of thin air, half a meter in front of Chen Yuan, hovering in a strange manner.

On the left, a fist-sized, silver-gray metallic sphere with a liquid metallic sheen on its surface floats in the air.

It rotates quietly, at a moderate speed, yet exudes a sense of technology that seems to transcend this era.

On the right is a laser pistol with an extremely futuristic design.

The gun has smooth lines and a matte black finish. Key parts are inlaid with a dark blue energy conduit, and there is a miniature electromagnetic acceleration track below the barrel.

"This is what the system was talking about, nano... what Iron Man suit? And the Hummingbird electromagnetic laser gun?"

Chen Yuan's heart pounded wildly, almost bursting out of his chest.

Although it was the most basic model, it was exactly the power he had always dreamed of.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, overwhelmed by the sheer technological feel of these things. He had fantasized countless times about owning them in the game, and now, they were right before his eyes.

Snapped!

Chen Yuan slapped himself hard. Ouch, this pain was real. His dream had come true. It seemed like fate had its own plan.

He practically lunged forward, his trembling hands first grasping the "Hummingbird" electromagnetic laser gun.

It feels cool to the touch but not heavy, and has a premium feel.

An indescribable sense of security instantly welled up in my heart; even men playing with guns can be a kind of romance.

Chen Yuan raised his gun, struck a pose, then pointed it at thin air and said dramatically, "I don't eat beef, I don't eat beef, I bet your gun isn't loaded, say thank you, say thank you..."

Um??????

Then, he carefully touched the silver-gray metal ball.

The moment Chen Yuan's fingertips touched the sphere.

"laugh!"

The metal sphere disintegrated instantly, like flowers blooming and growing.

Before his eyes, it transformed into a silvery, liquid metal that seemed to be alive. Upon closer inspection, it was made up of nanoparticles that were almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly covering Chen Yuan's entire body.

The whole process was incredibly fast. Chen Yuan didn't even have time to exclaim. He only felt a cold fluid envelop his entire body, which then quickly solidified, shaped, and hardened.

A few seconds later, a figure covered in streamlined silver armor replaced Chen Yuan, who was wearing a cheap T-shirt, and stood on this desolate wasteland.

Nanosteel Suit, Basic Type (Number 1)

It wasn't the massive, heavy gravity suit Mark wore in battle, but rather a more body-hugging exoskeleton.

The overall design presents a simple and efficient silver-gray color, with subtle blue energy patterns flowing at the joints.

The helmet is full-coverage, and the faceplate is made of a dark, one-way visible material.

The mech's surface was smooth, reflecting no light even in the dim light, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced its stealth capabilities. (I know that the Devouring Beasts rely on emotional fluctuations and the sensing of human life essence.)

Basic functions have been activated...

[1. Basic Protection: The nanoalloy structure provides effective protection against physical impacts, energy sputtering, and mild corrosion (such as acid rain and weak acidic fluids).]

[2. Nanopulse Power Amplification: When the neural link is activated, the nanounits synchronize with high-frequency pulse oscillations at the moment the host exerts force, significantly enhancing muscle explosiveness and limb speed (an increase of approximately 400%). This enhancement is further amplified after the suit is upgraded.]

3. Environmental Filtration: Built-in breathing circulation system filters toxic gases, dust, and some radioactive particles.
