Chapter 587: Chapter 326 My Mecha Can Upgrade_2

[You have begun rummaging through the stinking junkyard, searching for any useful alchemy rubbish...]

[Under a heap of garbage somewhere, you unearthed the wreckage of an engineering robot and found a ’Leaky Power Furnace’ within the wreckage.]

[Leaky Power Furnace: The surface of this old power furnace has some obvious holes, but overall, it’s still intact. The power furnace serves as the source of power for all alchemy robots, akin to the heart of a biological being. Mounting it can provide a weak power source for your mecha...]

...

[You are drawn to some reflection at the top of a heap of garbage, upon investigation, you are lucky to find a well preserved focus chip. Mounting it can provide vision for your mecha...]

...

[Inside a rusty copper box, you discovered an exoskeleton made up of rusty metal pipes. The exoskeleton, the ’Skeleton’ of the mecha, supports all the parts of the mecha and protects the core. This exoskeleton is made with common material and is on the verge of falling apart due to aging. If possible, you’d better replace it, otherwise, your mecha might fall apart in action at any moment...]

...

You’ve searched with greater efficiency than Mu You had initially imagined. After all, his expectations were quite low, he merely required the mecha to be ’Operational’.

Within just over an hour, Mu You, amidst heaps of garbage, had assembled the six basic components of a mecha.

The power furnace is the ’Heart’, the focuser is the ’Eyes’, the exoskeleton is the ’Skeleton’, the robot coil is the ’Blood and Nerves’, the two types of alchemy circuits then are the ’Brain and Cerebellum’.

In addition, Mu You had luckily found two additional attachments, a tail weapon, the ’Scorpion Tail Sting’, and a leg attachment, ’The self-propelled Cannon Quadruped Walker’.

Mounting these two contraptions to a humanoid mech might seem incongruent... But Mu You couldn’t worry about that. He hadn’t found anything yet, and now that he had, he rushed to fit them in.

[TK2300 has sequentially integrated the eight components that you found, finally taking the shape of a mecha - albeit a grotesque one.]

[You inserted a demon crystal into the power furnace. The power source was obtained, the whole body made a dull sound, and then slowly began to move...]

"This must constitute successful activation, right?" Mu You wondered.

The mech he was making, a true amalgamation created by his ancestors, was really compatible with all sorts of things.

Alchemy is a very rigorous discipline, where even a single misaligned gear or bolt can cause the entire mech to stop operating. However, his mech was able to operate with a bunch of assorted junk from the garbage heap!

Still pondering over this, Mu You put down his phone and walked to the center of the room to try changing the mech’s skin again.

As his figure shrank, he was immediately hit with the sensation of losing all feeling in his limbs. This time, however, his vision remained clear, allowing him to have a sharp view of his surroundings.

Not wasting a moment, Mu You quickly ’moved’ in front of the mirror for a quick look.

Not surprisingly, the mirror reflected a metal robot. From head to toe, there was not even a trace of human flesh left.

However, the first thought that came to Mu You upon seeing his current skin profile was... it’s quite ugly!

Overlooking the worn-out upper body and the semi-absent head, the upper part still managed to have a human semblance.

But what was up with those crab-like metal legs attached to the lower half of the robot body? With one of the four legs missing, the otherwise stable robot was hobbling around on three legs.

And even more strangely, a steel scorpion’s tail was protruding from the robot’s back. This tail was designed as an attack weapon meant to puncture the enemy upon approaching it. But the bizarre fact was that it was attached to a humanoid robot’s back. Mu You wondered if the tail will first pierce through his own robot’s head while attacking.

"What a weird-looking hybrid thing..."

Returning to reality, Mu You muttered under his breath, then switched back to his real body.

No matter how things had proceeded, the fact was that he had managed to get the mech moving. His next steps would be to find more powerful and visually appealing parts for it.

Moreover, now that he had a robot skin, to other robots he had become a member of their own kind. He could unapologetically enter the city. Who would care enough to attack a harmless robot like him?

Prompted by such thoughts, Mu You returned to the game, let the game character switch to the mech skin, and then opened the panel for a look.

After losing the flesh body, the panel had undergone a dramatic change.

He had lost all levels, attributes and action capabilities from his character interface and which was replaced with a monster-like attribute interface instead.

...

The combat power was indeed pitifully low, but the even more noticeable change was in the action capabilities. The action capability disappeared altogether and was replaced with an ’energy level’.
