Lin Chen's fireball completely burnt away the clothing on Meizi and Ye Mei, leaving him shocked to discover that standing before him were not beautiful women, but two figures made of steel.

God damn it, they were actually two mechanical beings.

Gazing at the two human-like figures made of steel before him, Lin Chen was stunned.

These two mechanical beings were incredibly lifelike, and weren't such things supposed to only appear in movies?

It should be noted that these two mechanical beings, in both appearance and movement, were almost indistinguishable from real humans. If Lin Chen hadn't burnt away their clothing, he would have never suspected that he was fighting against mechanical beings.

"Clap clap clap!"

While Lin Chen was in a daze, applause suddenly rang out from the forest.

"Well done, Mr. Lin. Impressive! You actually defeated my two mechanized warriors," Lin Chen looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man wearing glasses walking out.

The young man wasn't tall and wore thick prescription glasses, and following behind him were four breathtakingly beautiful women.

At first glance, Lin Chen felt amazed, but then he remembered that underneath their attractive exteriors were heaps of steel, and at that moment, Lin Chen lost all interest.

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked the young man warily.

The young man smiled faintly, "My name is Geng Hao: these are all my mechanized warriors."

"Dude, you've got some pretty heavy tastes. Aside from fighting for you, these mechanized warriors don't… do anything else, do they?" Lin Chen said with a somewhat speechless look at the young man before him.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, the young man smiled lightly, "Of course not. They're cold and unfeeling; inflatable dolls would be more pleasurable than them. I simply created mechanized warriors according to my preferences. We have many movie stars in our home, too."

"Damn!" Lin Chen muttered with an expression of speechlessness.

Thinking of a house full of movie stars and alluring figures, Lin Chen felt an odd sensation.

"You wanted to see me for something?" Lin Chen watched Geng Hao with vigilance.

Lin Chen had already found it somewhat challenging to deal with two mechanized warriors. If he were surrounded by dozens of female movie stars and beauties, he'd truly need to exert some effort to get out.

Geng Hao smiled faintly, "Relax, I bear no ill will towards you. I attacked you with the mechanized warriors just to test your strength. Now that you've passed my test, I would like to invite you to join my organization."

Another one trying to woo him. Just a few days ago, it seemed he had just joined some department 118. What kind of organization was this kid talking about?

"Join an organization? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested," Lin Chen shook his head.

For some reason, the young man always gave Lin Chen a very sinister feeling, so his instincts told him the farther away from this guy, the better.

"Hey, it's quite impolite to refuse before letting someone finish speaking," Geng Hao said coldly with a smile.

"I just don't feel much for those mechanical beings, that's all," Lin Chen said with an awkward smile.

Geng Hao continued, "The reason I chose you is because you and I are of the same kind."

"The same kind?" Lin Chen paused and looked at Geng Hao.

Geng Hao offered a light smile, "Of course, we're both inheritors of ancient legacies. You possess the mysterious Tianyan inheritance, while what I have is the divine skill of mechanical creation."

As soon as Lin Chen realized that the beautiful woman he had just battled with was a mechanical human, Lin Chen had already figured this young man was also a successor of an ancient inheritance.

After all, given the current level of science and technology, such highly intelligent, highly realistic mechanical humans could only exist in movies.

"Oh, then what kind of cooperation do you have in mind?" Lin Chen asked nonchalantly.

Geng Hao's eyes shone with a hint of mad joy, "For thousands of years, we, the people with special abilities, have been oppressed by ordinary humans. Why should they rule the world and not us? Why must we hide in the dark world like rats?"

Lin Chen's gaze slightly narrowed, and from Geng Hao's eyes, he saw ambition.

Madness and bloodlust filled Geng Hao's eyes.

Geng Hao continued, "As inheritors of ancient secret techniques, we should be the favored children of the gods. We possess divine skills that ordinary people can't have, and so we should be the rulers of this world, the pinnacle of the food chain."

"Lin Chen, as long as the eight of us with divine skills unite, we can dominate the world of those with special abilities, dominate the world of ordinary humans, and the world will belong to us," Geng Hao's gaze held madness as he excitedly continued.

"Just think about it, it will be an era-defining transformation, and the world will become even more splendid because of us," Geng Hao said with fervent eyes.

Looking at Geng Hao's crazed expression, Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, but we are not from the same world, so our worldviews differ. I have no interest in joining any sort of mad organization you're talking about."

"What did you say?" A hint of icy coldness surfaced in Geng Hao's eyes.

Lin Chen, staring intently at Geng Hao, said word by word, "As far as I know, for thousands of years, every realization of ambition has been achieved with the blood of countless innocents. From the Battle of Muye between King Zhou and King Wu to the Chu-Han Contention, these bloody historical events all have involved individuals with special abilities who aspired to rule the world, but which one of them succeeded?"

"Indeed we possess special abilities, but I only want to be an ordinary person, using my insignificant powers to contribute to the world. As for ruling the world, that holds no interest for me, so I'm sorry," Lin Chen said indifferently.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Geng Hao suddenly laughed. With a wave of his hand, the four gorgeous women immediately surrounded Lin Chen, "He who follows me prospers, he who opposes me perishes. Since you can't be my ally, Lin Chen, today shall be your grave."

Lin Chen scoffed, "I, Lin Chen, don't look for trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. They say 'If no one offends me, I offend no one, but if someone offends me, Lin Chen, I am not just here to eat my fill."

Having said this, Lin Chen no longer held back and let the Spiritual Energy swell in his hand.

"You won't be able to withstand my fatal attack," Geng Hao stared at Lin Chen, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"Then let's try and see how I turn these things into scrap metal," Lin Chen snorted coldly, with the Thunder Sword appearing in his hand.

The entire jungle was fraught with a murderous aura, as four enchanting women approached Lin Chen slowly from all directions.

"Dada dada!"

The steps of the four women were in unison, each step filled with boundless killing intent.

Geng Hao raised his hand high and shouted coldly, "Lin Chen, let me show you my most powerful strike, the Seduction Technique!"

As his words fell, the four women, who looked like celestial beings resembling movie stars, suddenly stopped moving and began slowly stripping off their clothes.

The actions of the four women were synchronized; as their clothes gently came off, Lin Chen's nose began to bleed.

Damn, this time it wasn't just pitch-black steel, but skin that was as smooth as jade.
