Chapter 883: Chapter 397: Customization (Five-in-One)

Inside the underground parking lot.

Lord Okens led Su Ming out of the elevator and headed straight towards an inconspicuous black hovercar.

Standing in front of the black hovercar was a man in a black suit with an unremarkable appearance.

Seeing Okens and Su Ming approaching, the driver hurriedly opened the car door.

Okens and Su Ming immediately got into the back seat.

The driver closed the car door properly and promptly sat in the driver’s seat, speaking respectfully.

"Lord Okens, where should we go?"

"Lei Luo, head to the X District, the Xiguang Laboratory Mechanical Department."

Okens said simply.

"Yes!"

Lei Luo responded respectfully, then started the vehicle, heading towards the expressway entrance.

At this time, to be cautious, Okens gave Su Ming some preliminary advice.

"Su Ming, let me tell you, the folks at the Xiguang Laboratory Mechanical Department have quite the tempers, each one being more arrogant than the last. So, if they say anything unpleasant, don’t get upset."

"Understood, geniuses tend to be quite unique."

"Don’t mention the word genius to me. Every time I hear it, I instinctively think of Blakes from the Xiguang Laboratory Biological Department, who’s scared me half to death several times. In short, there’s hardly anyone easygoing in the whole Xiguang Laboratory."

"Hehe, Lord Okens, you are right."

Listening to Okens’ complaints, Su Ming’s mouth involuntarily twitched.

...

Over an hour later.

The black hovercar exited the expressway and arrived directly at the X1 District.

A spectacle of giant architectural buildings made of black metal, mimicking the shape of flower buds, came into view.

In the central area of many buildings, there stood a kilometer-high obelisk-like metal tower, with a transparent ring of energy floating above its top, exceedingly dazzling.

"Is this the Xiguang Laboratory Mechanical Department? These buildings look so advanced!"

Su Ming exclaimed in admiration.

"Of course they’re advanced; the Mechanical Department is, in a way, the predecessor of the Xiguang Laboratory, and the Biological Department was only established in the last century."

Okens introduced to Su Ming.

"Hmm."

"By the way, once inside, just stick by my side. Remember what I said, if you can avoid speaking, don’t speak, and leave everything to me."

Okens cautioned Su Ming anxiously.

"Understood."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

Soon, the black hovercar parked at Building No. 1.

Okens and Su Ming got out of the car and went straight into the building.

Many doctors in white research suits glanced at Okens and Su Ming as they entered, then continued their work as if nothing had happened.

Okens was long used to this; he took Su Ming onto an elevator that goes directly to the third underground floor.

Ding!

When the elevator doors opened.

Okens led Su Ming out, arriving at a huge circular transfer hall.

The entire area was filled with various mechanical equipment, and busy researchers bustling everywhere.

Su Ming surveyed his surroundings in amazement, noticing that there were far more personnel in the Mechanical Department than in the Biological Department, making the entire area exceedingly noisy.

"Lord Okens, who are we looking for next?"

"The Xiguang Laboratory Pure Mechanical Mecha Department has three chief doctors, all of whom can independently manufacture V Generation Mechas. You need to customize a high-level Fake V Generation Mecha, so you must find one of them. Let’s approach them based on their technical expertise, starting with the best."

Okens pondered for a moment and told Su Ming.

"Hmm."

Su Ming quickly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a young man wearing a white research suit and glasses, holding a pile of documents, walked by. Okens promptly stopped him, asking kindly.

"Hey, young brother, do you know where Dr. Faruga is?"

"Over there."

The young man replied impatiently and hurriedly left.

Okens didn’t mind and spoke to Su Ming.

"Let’s go."

"Okay!"

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

Soon, Okens led Su Ming to Manufacturing Zone No. 3.

Su Ming was greeted by the sight of a fifty-meter tall V Generation Mecha, with a metal eagle-like head, humanoid body, covered in golden armor with twisted red patterns scattered on its surface. Four pairs of dark golden light wings were embedded in its back, with a metal chain tail extending a hundred meters, exuding a chilling presence, seated at the construction position and connected to various lines, being debugged and tested by many mechanics.

In front of the V Generation Mecha was an old man with a thin body and bald head, holding documents and wearing a white lab coat, busy verifying construction data.

Su Ming couldn’t help but gasp, as this brand-new V Generation Mecha looked almost complete.

"Oh my, Dr. Faruga!"

Okens instantly wore a beaming smile and walked over, greeting warmly.

Dr. Faruga completely ignored Okens, continuously studying the documents in his hands.

Okens wasn’t annoyed and kept chatting cheerfully.

"Dr. Faruga, how have you been lately?"

"Hmm."

Dr. Faruga responded, holding the documents and moving around the V Generation Mecha, constantly observing the operation of the power plant.

Okens followed closely beside Faruga, continuously jabbering.

Yet, Faruga behaved as if he hadn’t heard at all, ignoring him entirely.

As for Su Ming, he stood in place, staring up at this V Generation Mecha. Although it wasn’t fully constructed yet and lacked weaponry, the mecha was fascinating, making him want it desperately.

...

About half an hour later, Faruga closed the documents in his hands and then looked up at Okens.
