Chapter 58 – The Powerful Level ４ Mech

Xiao Wuwang activated his Talent, and his Fatigue Points sharply dropped by a large margin.

At the same time, the T-800 was enveloped in a beam of white light.

But unlike usual, the white light did not quickly fade away.

Instead, a notification sound echoed in Xiao Wuwang’s mind—

[Ding!]

[Talent triggered successfully. T-800 Mech upgraded successfully. Two upgrade paths are available: T-1000 Basic Liquid-Metal-State Mech / TX Liquid-Metal-Shelled Nanobot-Skeleton Mech.]

[Please choose!]

This was the first time he had encountered a Talent-triggered upgrade with a choice of upgrade paths.

But this also left Xiao Wuwang in a dilemma.

If the system had automatically chosen for him, he would have gladly accepted either option.

But having the choice laid out before him made it difficult to decide.

Undeniably, the TX had stronger overall combat power and a more advanced built-in system, which would be more helpful to Xiao Wuwang in future sci-fi worlds.

However, the T-1000 also possessed unparalleled abilities in concealment, disguise, infiltration, and even more formidable recovery capabilities.

The worlds Xiao Wuwang would encounter in the future were unpredictable, and in certain situations, the T-1000 might play a more unique role than the TX.

Moreover, Xiao Wuwang had a premonition that the fully liquid-metal T-1000 might bring him unexpected surprises after further upgrades.

Thinking this, Xiao Wuwang gritted his teeth and made his choice.

“I choose the T-1000 Basic Liquid-Metal-State Mech!”

[Selection completed. Upgrading…]

After a while, the white light dissipated.

A humanoid metal model appeared before Xiao Wuwang.

This was the T-1000 Basic Liquid-Metal-State Mech.

Xiao Wuwang immediately took out an Intelligent Chip and integrated it directly into the T-1000 Basic Liquid-Metal-State Mech.

After fusing with the Intelligent Chip, the T-1000 Mech instantly transformed into Xiao Wuwang’s likeness and spoke: “Greetings, Master!”

Seeing a “person” identical to himself standing before him, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. He said, “Change your appearance. Switch to a Chinese-style beauty!”

The T-1000 Mech replied, “Yes, Master.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the mech, which had been identical to Xiao Wuwang, began to flow and transform.

In no time, a Chinese-style beauty with a graceful figure, delicate features, and dressed in ancient-style robes appeared before Xiao Wuwang.

Her appearance was flawless, but her face showed no expression whatsoever, completely failing to convey the gentle and refined temperament of a Chinese-style beauty. It felt jarring no matter how he looked at it.

Xiao Wuwang spoke again, “Forget it. Change into a modern, capable female agent! Remember, don’t make it too ugly!”

The T-1000 Mech obeyed and immediately began transforming again.

In the blink of an eye, a woman dressed in a black tight-fitting combat suit, black high leather boots, her hair tied high in a ponytail, with eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, appeared before Xiao Wuwang.

Her posture was upright, and she exuded a cold, sharp aura, which matched the mech’s temperament quite well.

Xiao Wuwang nodded in satisfaction. “Good, this appearance will do. From now on, your name is Han Xing!”

“Yes, Master.” Han Xing’s voice was clear, crisp, and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Finally, Xiao Wuwang opened Han Xing’s Attribute Panel to take a look:

Item Name: T-1000 Basic Liquid-Metal-State Mech

Designation: Han Xing

Level: 4

Quality: Common

Durability: —

Traits: Concealment+1, Transformation+2, Disguise+1

Description: Can freely alter form and appearance, adept at infiltrating enemy camps for covert reconnaissance and assassination missions. Equipped with quantum tunneling nanoscale nuclear energy, capable of automatically absorbing nuclear-energy-containing substances to replenish energy, possessing nearly limitless power. Vulnerable to strong magnetic fields, strong acids, temperatures below -200°C, and temperatures above 1500°C.

——————

The T-1000 Mech’s lack of durability doesn’t mean it’s indestructible. If exposed to strong magnetic environments for extended periods, or immersed in strong acids or high-temperature solutions for long durations, its metallic structure can suffer irreversible damage.

As long as these environments are avoided, the T-1000 Mech remains exceptionally formidable—killing it is extremely difficult!

Closing Han Xing’s panel, Xiao Wuwang had Lao Tie use a Basic Acceleration Card before succumbing to drowsiness and collapsing onto the comfortable large bed to sleep.

Now, Xiao Wuwang’s train base speed had reached 60 km/h. With the addition of a Basic Acceleration Card, the speed increased to 72 km/h.

Almost double that of most players!

Even without using Acceleration Cards, it’s unlikely anyone could surpass him in the first round’s distance traveled ranking.

Nevertheless, Xiao Wuwang used one because the respawn rate of treasure chests during the novice period is relatively high—the farther you travel, the greater the quantity and quality of chests.

He didn’t mind using one or two more Acceleration Cards to go even farther.

The train raced through the pitch-black wilderness, not disturbing Xiao Wuwang’s slumber in the Living Carriage in the slightest.

A good night’s sleep.

Early the next morning, after instructing Lao Tie and Han Xing to collect treasure chests, Xiao Wuwang began attending to his own affairs.

With the cooperation of Lao Tie and Han Xing, two Intelligent Machinery units, tasks like collecting treasure chests no longer required Xiao Wuwang’s direct involvement.

After finishing his morning routine and breakfast, Xiao Wuwang naturally resumed cultivating the Azure Dragon Sinewed-Bone Body Art.

On this second day of practicing the Azure Dragon Sinewed-Bone Body Art, it felt noticeably smoother than the previous day.

Completing one full circuit took 10% less time than the day before, and the drop in Fatigue Points and Health Points wasn’t as severe as yesterday.

Of course, as the residual effects of the Evolution Potion diminished, the attribute gains weren’t as pronounced as before.

After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Wuwang opened his personal Attribute Panel to check.

——————

Constitution is about to break through 30!

With the Azure Dragon Sinewed-Bone Body Art, it’s unlikely he’ll encounter a bottleneck when his Constitution surpasses 30.

After concluding his practice, Xiao Wuwang wiped off his sweat and had another breakfast to replenish the energy consumed during cultivation.

With all tasks completed, he checked the time—it wasn’t even 7 o’clock yet.

With no need to collect treasure chests himself, he seemed to have nothing left to do.

Just as he was pondering what to do next, he suddenly slapped his forehead and headed straight for the Planting Carriage.

He hadn’t checked on the Nether Ghost Vine Seed and cabbage seeds since planting them.

I wonder how they are growing now.

On the way to the Planting Carriage, Xiao Wuwang did not forget to call Han Xing along.

Han Xing has a strong learning ability, and Xiao Wuwang intends to cultivate its skills in various areas.

In the future, tasks like planting and breeding can also be entrusted to it.
