I can also make some modifications to your combat robot. Allowing it to fly, increasing its speed and power output, and enhancing its attack capabilities. Of course, this will demand a much higher level of piloting skill. In any case, Wang Xia, just redeem the combat robot for him first.” Wang Xia did not hesitate. He stood beneath the "Main God" and closed his eyes.
{Benevolence rests in benevolence_beneficial} Suddenly, a pillar of light shot down. This scene immediately caused Luo Gandao to exclaim in shock. The young man stared excitedly at the light pillar. Then, a bear-shaped robot over two meters tall appeared beside Wang Xia. It was an incredibly cute cartoon bear.
Looking at its honest and lovable appearance, no one would associate it with the word "robot." Luo Gandao turned his head speechlessly, foolishly pointing at the bear robot: “That... is the combat robot you mentioned?” Chu Xuan circled the cartoon bear-shaped robot twice, then stated confidently, “Correct. Judging by its size, you should fit inside easily. Go on in, let’s see what your piloting skills are like.” “No, stop joking!” Luo Gandao immediately roared, “Is this a combat robot? Are you insulting the heart of a zealous fan of the Gundam series?
Do you think someone who watched Gundam from the original 0079 all the way through Seed doesn't know what a combat robot is? At the very least, it should be a metal robot several meters taller than a Gundam! I’m not asking to pilot an EVA or Mazinger Z, nor am I expecting a God Impulse Gundam or Freedom Gundam right away, but you could at least give me a Zaku I, right? Are you expecting me to fight on the battlefield driving a cartoon bear? Even if it’s a robot from the Metal series, couldn’t you give me a unit that can use psychic attacks from the Metal series?
{Benevolence rests in benevolence_beneficial} In short...” Chu Xuan frowned. He flicked his left hand, and a Gauss pistol dropped into his left palm. He immediately brought the pistol up and aimed it directly at Luo Gandao’s forehead: “I am not negotiating with you; this is an order, understood? If you are incapable of handling the task of piloting the robot, I will kill you and pilot it myself. Although doing so will prevent me from simultaneously managing the overall situation and strategy, it is still better than wasting a combat slot.
Have you decided now?” Luo Gandao immediately replied decisively, “No problem, but this is my first time piloting a robot. I don’t know the buttons or how to operate it. Can you give me a manual?” Chu Xuan looked at Wang Xia, and the former special forces soldier nodded: “The manual is all inside the cockpit. You can enter from the back. The first person to pilot it will have their voice print recorded, and after that, only you will be able to pilot this combat robot...
This is the information the ‘Main God’ just uploaded to my mind.” Only then did Luo Gandao finally become slightly serious. Upon hearing this, he walked to the back of the cartoon bear robot. He reached out and fumbled in the thick fur, followed by a faint drip-tick sound. The bear’s back slowly opened, revealing a passage just large enough for one person to enter. Luo Gandao didn't hesitate and immediately squeezed inside.
Then, the bear’s back closed slowly. The cartoon bear, which had only just begun to reveal its robotic characteristics, immediately transformed back into a purely cartoonish bear. Looking directly at its appearance, it was quite comical and ridiculous. The group silently watched the cartoon bear stand there. After waiting for about ten minutes, just as everyone was growing impatient, the cartoon bear finally emitted its voice...
But no matter how they listened, the sound the cartoon bear made was always, “Moo-nee...” “Moo-nee, moo-nee, moo-nee...” The cartoon bear excitedly waved its hands, all the while taking a few tentative steps forward, continuously emitting that “Moo-nee” sound. Zheng Zha turned to Chu Xuan with a look of utter strangeness: “That voice... Why is he constantly making that sound?” Chu Xuan waved his hand: “There’s nothing we can do. I thought this flaw was inherent in the original source material, but it seems the replica redeemed by the ‘Main God’ also has this defect. It’s essentially a flaw built into the robot’s design—it forcibly converts the pilot’s voice into this sound.
If you try to forcibly shut down the voice modulator, the entire robot will freeze up. Fortunately, we have the Mind Link Chain, so we won’t be delayed by being unable to communicate with him. Also, his piloting talent is indeed quite good... He managed to get a preliminary grasp of the robot’s controls in just ten minutes. It’s less about innate talent and more about his aptitude for driving games.” Later, after Luo Gandao’s excitement subsided, Zheng Zha recounted the details of his resurrection.
The young man truly stood there in a daze for a long time. Only then did he burst into hearty, unrestrained laughter. This open-minded attitude surprised everyone, yet it also instantly made them feel favorably toward him. {Benevolence rests in benevolence_beneficial} Chu Xuan, seeing that the immediate tasks were mostly settled, was about to ask the others to carry the robot to his room so he could begin the modifications, as well as create the charging apparatus for the Green Goblin Glider and Wang Xia’s plasma mines and grenades. However, the others hadn't seen this aloof man for several days, so naturally, they wouldn't let him leave the area alone.
At everyone’s insistence, Chu Xuan silently agreed to join them for dinner, taking the opportunity to complete the other two matters concurrently. “First is the ‘Dragon Blood Cultivation Plan.’ Every newcomer must inject Dragon Blood in the ‘Main God’ space. This effectively grants them 4,000 Reward Points. Of course, after the injection, the ‘Main God’ must perform a full-body restoration, which is why it must happen within the ‘Main God’ space.” “Second is the ‘T-Virus Primary Fluid’ plan. The T-Virus Primary Fluid allows every member to unlock the first stage of their Gene Lock.
Given the characteristic that greater danger yields greater reward, this Resident Evil 2 side mission quest is at least a Double-B difficulty. {Benevolence rests in benevolence_beneficial} I absolutely do not recommend engaging with it until we have sufficient strength. However, we can start making preparations for this mission now...” Chu Xuan said calmly to the others while eating. Zheng Zha asked curiously, “Such as? Besides enhancements and redemptions, what else do we need to prepare?” Chu Xuan nodded: “Of course.
The biggest factor is this upcoming Starship Troopers horror movie world. This world is a high-tech future setting. I’ve watched this film twenty-one times, and two weapons left the deepest impression on me: first, the shoulder-mounted miniaturized nuclear warheads; and second, the heavy explosive weapon shown at the film’s conclusion, which can obliterate everything within a fifty-square-meter radius with basically one shot. These two weapons are essentially equivalent to the D-grade high-tech weaponry we can redeem in the ‘Main God’ space, and in that world, they can be acquired infinitely. Therefore, we should acquire a large, unrestricted supply of these weapons there, and we might even be able to establish a tacit understanding with the local government in that space...
Of course, that’s for the future, when we return to that horror world. The goals for entering that specific world this time are threefold: First, complete the horror plot safely, without any casualties—it doesn’t matter if we can’t kill the opposing team. Second, search as much as possible for clues to side quests; if we can complete them on the spot, even better. Third, and most importantly, purchase a massive quantity of these two weapons, at least the miniaturized nuclear warheads.” Although Chu Xuan stated all this so calmly, as if discussing what to eat for breakfast, the people around him stared at him blankly. Luo Gandao immediately laughed and said, “Your words are truly amusing.
It sounds like we’re going to be arms dealers or terrorists, hahaha...” Chu Xuan seriously nodded: “That’s right. We are going to be arms dealers and terrorists. In fact, if we had enough space, I would really like to purchase a small starship in that world. Quite a few horror films involve battles on a massive scale, and as our team’s strength grows, war films like Starship Troopers are already appearing, and similar war films will certainly appear in the future. In that case, acquiring a small starship in the Starship Troopers horror world wouldn’t be an unreasonable consideration, would it?” Luo Gandao immediately broke into a cold sweat and whispered to Ba Wang, who was focused on eating beside him, “Is...
is he joking?” Ba Wang managed a bitter smile: “Stop asking him questions like that. I swear he’s serious... He is very seriously considering whether or not he should buy a small starship. In fact, I have no doubt about his determination or his ability to acquire one... If this man seems zealous about something, I guarantee he’s contemplating some truly insane plan!” Zheng Zha’s ears were sharp enough to catch the conversation between Ba Wang and Luo Gandao.
He could only offer a wry smile in response. It was undeniable that Chu Xuan, usually utterly indifferent to everything, was in his normal state; if he became zealous about something, it usually meant he was contemplating some exaggerated plan, like the time he once set an entire forest on fire... Zheng Zha coughed and finally spoke loudly: “Alright, alright, let’s make a plan for these things first. After we eat, we’ll go test the might of the Tiger Soul Saber. Then, for the next few days...
we must all undergo intensive training until the next horror film arrives... to hone all of our survival skills and combat capabilities!” (To be continued) Jump to
