Chapter 339: Chapter 201: Mechanical Brain Worm’s No. 1 Machine (6k)_2

This so-called "Humanoid Mechanical Armor No. 1 Machine" is said to be a Gundam, but it should actually be called exterior armor.

——Although it’s not meant for humanoid use, but rather equipment exclusively for Mechanical Brain Worms.

Currently, however, this No. 1 machine is really just a display piece, with not many powerful devices added to it.

It’s just based on the accumulated technology from eight iterations of Knight’s civilization, assembled into a basic model.

It doesn’t even have many of the jets or chest energy cores that most Gundams have.

After all, the former might as well use the magical version of the Sky Control Technique or the Floating Island’s Anti-gravity Array instead, and the latter is a clear weakness, so Bai Yi wouldn’t add it just for style...

Wait a moment...

Maybe it actually can work?

Anyway, we don’t really need an energy core, making a big light bulb isn’t impossible.

It can also be used to confuse the enemy, making them mistake it for the core!

This current plain No. 1 machine isn’t particularly strong in its attributes, roughly equivalent to the constitution of a 5th Rank Beast King of the same size, and still needs improvement.

The only special feature is that it relies on the Mechanical Brain Worms themselves, using their control over metal to achieve a sort of self-healing, even liquid metal effect.

And because this mecha isn’t truly mechanical, apart from the Mechanical Brain Worms’ bodies, it has no structural weaknesses at all.

The Brain Worms’ bodies can also hide in any part of the mechanical body through their control, making them difficult to locate.

But compared to the strong Life Force inherent in Bai Yi’s species, their attack capabilities are virtually nil.

Or rather, like the Sea Son, they are only given a solid foundation, with further enhancements left entirely to the Mechanical Brain Worms themselves.

Originally, they were not stupid, and after gaining superpowers, they could manufacture mechanical parts by hand and could completely improve accordingly based on needs.

Whether in humanoid Gundam form or various beast-shaped machinery, it can be melee or ranged, modified according to the Brain Worms’ preferences.

This can be considered a form of evolution to some extent.

Although this evolution isn’t traditional "biological" but mechanical, Bai Yi still holds high expectations for this species.

Even Knight himself, having now completed the conversion system allowing seamless transition from electronic devices to the biological network, has applied for a Mechanical Brain Worm body.

However, these Mechanical Brain Worms still lack what it takes for actual combat, like the witch and the Insect Swarm, needing to learn and practice new abilities.

Even the remaining Tree-men are of the same situation; having obtained the same genes as the Insect Swarm, they are now also entering a learning phase.

But unlike the Insect Swarm that can gather together for offline learning, the Tree-men are too large and many need to perform guard duties, so they can only choose "online learning," absorbing knowledge through the network.

Bai Yi estimated that this round of comprehensive territory study might need to continue at least until the end of the Battle Zone challenge.

A rare chance for strengthening all the species within the territory, the contraction of activities brought the whole territory into a sort of silence, and even external communications began to decrease.

Except for a few witch squads left to test new faith weapons, previously active witches outside have become nearly impossible to find.

Even many of the Lords in White Poplar City are surprised, wondering what mischief Fan Mao is up to.

However, because of Fan Mao’s lingering influence and the remaining battles in the Battle Zone, few dared approach to inquire about the activities of the witches outside directly.

But for those who openly and covertly showed interest in Bai Yi on the leaderboard, this period has indeed become lively.

Not daring to ask the witches directly, a Tier Three Lord makes a good target for inquiries.

Initially, Youming was quite happy, being a marginalized Lord yet receiving so much attention, even managing to gather information only known to a 4th Rank in the process.

This eventually led to him knowing that he could exchange Task Settlement Cards to replace certain conditions, thus leaping to a 4th Rank Lord.

But this excitement lasted just a few days before Youming could hardly bear it.

Finally, under the guise of combat, he fled to the front lines of the Battle Zone, accompanying a witch squad to test weapons.

Leaving with the witches, no Lord dared follow, allowing him a period of peace.

With Bai Yi’s involvement, even with less than a thousand witches participating, the progress in the Battle Zone steadily improved.

Even though the Iron Blood command focuses on stability, avoiding rash actions.

Over the past week, the front line has advanced to the camps in several regions, with only the final "decisive battle" left.

Today’s combat mission for Youming, as well as the weapon testing site, is an outpost on the periphery of a regional camp.

Though called an outpost, due to pressure from the front-line witches and other Lords of White Poplar City, this outpost has more than five hundred people, nearly a small camp.

After all, without convenient channel communication in the Battle Zone, if a Lord doesn’t constantly monitor their soldier numbers, an outpost with too few people could be easily swallowed unnoticed.

The presence of five hundred people is reluctantly necessary.

Even though in recent times two new 5th Rank Lords have successfully emerged in those regions, several 5th Rank Lords on the White Poplar City side have also grown.
