Chapter 12 The advanced route of mecha

After coaxing Winky, the battle on the other side is coming to an end.

Pang Shi was worthy of being born into a big family. He calmly responded to the situation and finally led the crowd to defeat the Faceless Men.

After a fierce battle, he clearly saw Xu Jiang's potential. As soon as he put away his sword, he came over to say hello.

"Brother, thank you so much for just now. If you hadn't solved the monster, we would all be in danger. Let me introduce myself. My name is Pang Shi. Nice to meet you."

Xu Jiang had been wearing the dark goggles in his supply bag and couldn't see clearly. Pang Shi could only try to find out who the rookie was by making connections.

Xu Jiang didn't want to introduce himself. He glanced at the other person up and down. Well, he is a rich man. I like to make friends with rich people the most.

"You're welcome. There are many dangers in the spiritual realm, so we should help each other."

After chatting with Pang Shi for a while, Xu Jiang felt that this person was worth getting to know.

The key point is that this man is very rich and will not covet his things. He actually reminds him that there are treasure chests in the caves for powerful monsters like the Frost Giant Ox that can be opened.

This is quite enough, buddy.

Hearing this, Xu Jiang quickly ran into the cave and groped around, and sure enough he found a silver box. It looked very beautiful, and there were good things at first glance.

In order to thank Pang Shi for reminding him, Xu Jiang decided to open the box in front of Pang Shi and let his new friend see the creation of the best equipment.

The box was opened, and three shining treasures appeared in front of them.

The first item is a bottle. The bottle contains a blue liquid, which is shown as [Breath of Life]. It seems to be an alchemical material and is useless to him.

The second item is a small bag containing 10 gold coins. It does not have any special properties, but it is Xu Jiang's favorite because gold coins can be exchanged for credits.

The third item is an important treasure, a level 15 purple dagger [Minotaur's Blood Sword], which is a very good weapon for swordsmen. The only pity is that Xu Jiang himself cannot use it.

As a mecha master, the combat power is of course concentrated on the mecha. As the mecha is innovated and upgraded, the bonuses of mechanical weapons will also increase.

In his hand, the dagger was no more than a kitchen knife.

Wait, a kitchen knife? It seems that a kitchen knife is pretty good too!

Xu Jiang looked at the weapon in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he murmured to himself: "A level 15 dagger, this is exactly what I need."

When the onlookers saw Xu Jiang firing the purple weapon, they all looked envious.

The level can be practiced, but the equipment is hard to come by. Everyone, including Pang Shi, is a little greedy for this [Minotaur's Blood Sword].

Although his family is very wealthy, the best equipment is hard to come by.

Even if you buy purple equipment, it will be leftover from previous generations, and its durability will drop a lot, so you don’t have this best equipment.

I just heard Xu Jiang say that there is also a demand for this weapon?

It should have been reserved for a friend. It was really regrettable. He still wanted to buy it. Pangshi shook his head helplessly...

Bang! Bang!

Pangshi:???

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Huh~ These horns are really hard. If you pack them up, they will definitely sell for a good price."

The whole body of the cow is full of treasures, especially those three things, which cannot be wasted. Xu Jiang is diligent and thrifty in his household and does not want to miss any of the ingredients.

But you can’t cut it with a sword!

"Wait! Wait a minute, stop cutting, what are you doing!" Pang Shi pulled Xu Jiang back sadly.

"Huh? What's wrong? I'm cutting materials! Do you want to share some too?"

"I...I'm not interested in the materials. I mean, your dagger will lose its durability if you use it to chop horns!"

"Oh, that's it! But I don't have any other tools in my hand. If I don't need him, what can I use?"

"You don't have it, I do! I'll find someone to help you split the materials. Don't use this sword indiscriminately. If you don't need it, sell it to me."

If he had said this earlier, it would have been over. Xu Jiang put away his weapon and stood aside waiting comfortably. If someone was willing to help, it would save him a lot of effort.

But for this sword, Xu Jiang didn't agree to trade it.

After all, he didn't know much about the market, so he had better ask Uncle Lei for reference prices first.

…

For the next time, Xu Jiang would rest and wait for the end of the spiritual realm.

After killing the Frost Giant Bull, his score will definitely be the highest.

On the contrary, Pangshi's plan failed, and now he is hurriedly looking for monsters to kill, hoping to improve his score as much as possible before leaving.

Xu Jiang lit the fire comfortably and roasted game while discussing the future path of advancement with Qianji.

"Qianji, now that we have obtained the spiritual seed, what should we do next?"

[Back to the general, spiritual seeds are the source of power and possess extraordinary evolutionary power. There are now two evolutionary routes, and the general needs to choose.]

Is he here so soon? He is only level 4, and he has actually started the mecha advancement route.

"Which two routes?"

[Liquid Mecha and Power Mecha.]

Listening to Qianji's description, Xu Jiang looked at the fire without focus and fell into deep thought.

…

The next choice is very important, as it will determine the core of his future tactics.

Each profession has various advancement and development directions. As far as mechas are concerned, they are roughly divided into four types: driving mechas, powered mechas, liquid mechas, and exoskeleton mechas.

Let’s not talk about piloted mechas. That kind of mecha is only about ten meters tall and weighs several tons. It is a strategic weapon and will not be considered for the time being.

Exoskeleton mechas are a type that has been eliminated. They only rely on simple mechanics to increase the human body's strength to a certain extent. This is Qianji's current state.

The liquid mecha can be regarded as a portable battle suit that can be carried with you. With just a few buttons, the liquid mecha can be quickly prepared.

It has strong flexibility and high controllability, and can complete various difficult movements.

Facing the cruel world outside, a set of mechas that can enter battle at any time is the dream of all mecha masters.

In contrast, powered mechas abandon the portability feature.

With the power reactor as the core, it provides powerful energy support.

Laser cannons, jets and other high-power equipment require a power core to support them and are full of lethality.

…

Both routes have their own merits, so it’s really hard to choose!

"Qianji, you are a mecha. You should have the most say in this aspect. Which one do you think we should choose?"

"Back to General, I think: I want them all."

Xu Jiang:???

"You want them all? Can you still want them all?"

"Other mechas can't do it, because the more powerful the weapons and equipment are, the more they need strong power core support. But we have spiritual seeds, which can use spiritual seeds as the power core while ensuring lightness."

Xu Jiang felt that his IQ had been crushed. Why would you ask for it if you can ask for it all?

Are you kidding me?

Even a fool knows that everything should be the best, right? Why do you still need to consider it?

"General, taking both into account is indeed the best upgrade route, but the material requirements for upgrades will also become higher."

Qianji explained patiently, but the bottom line is: Xu Jiang has no money and no power.

Without money, it is difficult to obtain valuable materials for double upgrades.

If there is no potential, then the next spiritual seed will be even more distant.

"The materials can be found slowly, but what do you mean is that every upgrade in the future requires the support of spiritual seeds?"

"Yes, General, once it is confirmed that the spirit species is the core of power, then I will upgrade in the most perfect manner. Every future advancement will also require the support of the spirit species. Only in this way can I be called the strongest mecha.

.”

The sonorous and powerful declaration was recalled in Xu Jiang's ears.

It feels like...like you are trying to persuade me to spend money?

Although his wallet is empty, he is seduced by the beautiful female general in front of him with the prospect of a promising future.

If it's just materials, it's pretty good. The world is so big, and as long as you make money, you can always buy the materials.

But spiritual species are different.

Whether you can find it all depends on luck. If someone gets there first, it will be very difficult to spit it out.

"General, please give me your instructions."

[Congratulations, Qianji is about to advance. Please choose the advancement route: A. A liquid mecha with insufficient firepower, B. A power mecha with poor maneuverability, and C. All of them are perfect. 】
