Chapter 173
Chapter 173: machine · Star of Transcendence · Eve
His Stamina and Mental Power had recovered to their maximum values.
He took out the Ultimate · Mechanical Life Core from the Train.
Taking a deep breath, this should be the most expensive of all his upgrade rewards so far.
“Sublimation~”
His Stamina and Mental Power were consumed simultaneously.
Under that invisible power, the Mechanical Life Core slowly floated and rotated.
Dropping, dropping…
His Stamina and Mental Power continued to drop at an extremely high speed.
“Holy crap… is this trying to suck me dry?”
Gritting his teeth, Ye Qiyan took out the Mental Power recovery potion Shaya had given him earlier, drank it all in one gulp, and then pulled out a White Forest Fruit to eat.
This Sublimation took a full five minutes.
[Stamina: 170→30][Mental Power: 170→10]
Two hundred and ninety points!
Even more than what was consumed to sublimate the Train’s level!
Ye Qiyan lay exhaustedly in his chair, staring at the pure white mechanical core floating before his eyes, which looked like a constantly twisting Rubik’s Cube, and reached out to touch it.
“I’d like to see just how heaven-defying you are, to almost suck me dry…”
The appraisal Light Screen appeared.
[Ultimate · Mechanical Life Core → machine · Star of Transcendence]
[machine · Star of Transcendence]
[After being used on any mechanical unit, it can cause it to undergo a transformation into a Mechanical Lifeform, greatly enhancing all of its abilities and granting it the special mode: Star of Transcendence.]
Transcendence?
The moment Ye Qiyan saw this description, he didn’t know where he got the strength, but he immediately sat up straight.
“Wait a minute, is it the ‘Transcendence’ I’m thinking of?”
Doesn’t the Hunting Mechadragon also have a Transcendent Mode?
Although the two have different names, they… are both Transcendence!
Hiss! Could it be?
Ye Qiyan’s heart beat rapidly.
He looked up at the Vigilant Sentry on top of the Train.
“You’re in for a treat~”
Issuing the command, the Vigilant Sentry detached from the Train and came to his side.
Its emotionless mechanical body stared at the Star of Transcendence, as if it were a desire arising for no reason from the deepest layers of its code.
“Don’t let me down.”
He placed the Star of Transcendence on top of the Vigilant Sentry’s head.
In the next instant.
A pure white glow diffused outward.
The Vigilant Sentry shattered into countless fragments in an instant.
Dark gold spots of light condensed in the air, blending and reorganizing with the fragments of the Vigilant Sentry.
A stream of data light spread throughout the space.
Countless Light Screens recording completely incomprehensible symbols appeared frantically.
The entire Turtle Island, and even the endless ocean beyond it, was filled with these symbols.
The driving sound of a mechanical structure echoed between heaven and earth.
Countless mechanical parts wrapped around the Star of Transcendence.
It became the heart.
The heart of a Mechanical Lifeform.
Buzz——!!
All of this lasted for a full three hours.
These parts wrapped around the heart, undergoing a combination so precise it made one’s head spin.
When the light dissipated.
The moment everything returned to tranquility.
A robot, entirely white, composed of several mutually attracting ellipses, floating in mid-air with a dark gold halo over its head, manifested there.
It floated in front of Ye Qiyan, reaching out its hand like a newborn, gently grasping Ye Qiyan’s finger.
A Light Screen floated in front of him.
[Vigilant Sentry → Transcendent · Sentry (Level 10)]
[Can be named.]
[Possesses thirty-six weapon slots, capable of proficiently using any weapon, including melee, ranged, magic, mystery…]
[Possesses a detection range that continuously expands with the master’s maximum Mental Power. Within the detection range, it can see through any stealth, sneaking, illusion, disguise, or other hiding effects.]
[Possesses a healing slot, where the master can equip any healing medicine, enhancer, magic potion, or other medical supplies. When needed, they can be retrieved at any time, ignoring distance.]
[Possesses long-duration hovering capability, can be equipped with smart chips]
[Possesses Mode · Overlimit, consuming 10 points of the master’s Mental Power]
[Once this mode is activated, all weapons consume no resources, and all speeds are doubled, lasting for one minute.]
[Possesses Mode · Star of Transcendence]
[Once this mode is activated, all abilities, weapons, and effects are enhanced tenfold, and it gains a Level +2 effect, lasting for ten minutes.]
“Ha~”
After reading all the descriptions, a smile unconsciously appeared on Ye Qiyan’s face.
Extremely strong.
Although the Star of Transcendence mode didn’t allow it to reach a heaven-defying Level 13, Level 12 was already formidable enough.
Besides, he still had Sublimation. Ye Qiyan could feel that, just like the Hunting Mechadragon, it still possessed the potential for Sublimation.
It was just that his Stamina and Mental Power were far from enough to sublimate both of them.
If his Stamina and Mental Power were sufficient in the future, this Star of Transcendence mode might even be able to reach Level 13, equal to the Hunting Mechadragon.
And its power didn’t stop there.
Thirty-six weapon slots meant that it could use thirty-six different weapons at the same time.
The original Overlimit Mode had also received a massive enhancement.
Not only that, but this newly added healing slot was equally heaven-defying.
Ye Qiyan gave it a try. Things like Zhao Xi’s mental recovery potion, Shaya’s Healing Lollipop, and various common medicine for injuries and illnesses purchasable on the Trading Platform could all be put inside without any limit.
Even… the White Forest Fruit and its opposite, the Dark Nether Fruit, could be put inside.
That meant lethal poisons could also be placed in the healing slot.
Furthermore, its alert range was no longer limited to 150 meters, but grew along with his maximum Mental Power.
Currently, his maximum Mental Power was 170.
In other words, its alert range was also a radius of one hundred and seventy meters.
And, the absolute most important point.
It was no longer restricted to the Train.
Nor did it need to use Pursuit Mode to detach.
The Vigilant Sentry—no, current it—had become a true mechanical life, able to follow Ye Qiyan’s side at any time.
He gently stroked its rounded, cool-to-the-touch head.
This feeling was even more interesting than with Wall-E.
“A name?”
Ye Qiyan fell into thought as he looked at the fully transformed Vigilant Sentry.
What would be a good name?
“Eve…”
This name suddenly popped into his mind.
“How about Eve?”
[Naming successful.]
Eve gently placed her hand on Ye Qiyan’s hand.
Though she didn’t possess emotions yet, she could still express loyalty and affection toward her master.
She liked this name very much.
“I bet Wall-E will be startled when he gets back, haha.”
Before Wall-E left, he was the only robot, but when he returned, there would be two.
Eve tilted her head, not understanding.
She simply hovered silently by her master’s side to guard him.
The Vigilant Sentry had completed its transformation.
Now, all that was missing were some smart chips.
“Could today be my lucky day? I feel like I’ve gained so much… heh.”
If one ignored his empty fish keeper, that was indeed the case.
