GOR Chapter 149: Test of Luck

Roddy laughed before turning around to face the metal support’s lift. He got on the lift and pressed the button upon it, causing the lift to slowly rise up, bringing Roddy upward to the upper half area of the Mech.

Chen Xiaolian then turned around to look at Fujino Masayoshi. “Does this place have anything else? Considering how big this warehouse is, surely it does not only house this Mech, right?”

“Err… there should be a weapon armoury here. Those weapons are all meant for military testing, especially the military weapon devices. Those are used to debug the resulting data. They should be somewhere in another warehouse within this area.”

Looking around, Chen Xiaolian found much of what he needed from a small-scale weapons warehouse located roughly 50 meters away from the Mech warehouse.

Nagase Komi watched as Chen Xiaolian picked up a 20mm gatling-style rotary cannon with his hands – Chen Xiaolian was never a tall person to begin with. For someone like him to be carrying the rotary cannon like a Terminator, the image he exhibited was one of awkwardness.

However, his bodily attributes have been enhanced to [B] Class. Thanks to that, the act of carrying the huge rotary cannon was not a problem for him. The long line of ammunition belt hung over Chen Xiaolian’s body and dangled down onto the floor.

Additionally, he stuffed in a good number of hand grenades onto his tactical vest.

Chen Xiaolian also picked out a Howa Type automatic rifle for Nagase Komi; it was one that could be installed with grenade launchers.

After busying himself with the weapons for around five to six minutes, Chen Xiaolian turned around to look at the Mech. “Roddy?”

Chen Xiaolian called out twice, but no reply was forthcoming.

…

Roddy stood upon the lift as he moved it to stop before the chest area of the Mech.

Standing there, Roddy raised his head to look at the head of the Mech. The coating of the head was a mix of blue, black and silver colours, which looked exceptionally clear.

The external armour of the Mech was tightly melded together. Even its joints did not reveal any gap in between, causing him to be at a loss at how this technology was able to achieve that.

The material used for the external armour of the Mech was extremely durable. Extending his hand to feel it, he felt a cold sensation that was equivalent to ice.

Roddy even produced a military knife to swipe across the surface of the Mech a few times. However, the sharp military knife was unable to leave any trace on the surface of the Mech!

“This is definitely not a level of technology that this world should possess,” Roddy let out a sigh.

At that moment, he felt himself losing control over his mind.

It was as though there was an irrepressible impulse surging through him, slowly guiding his hand out to press onto the surface of the Mech.

Although Chen Xiaolian had warned him not to, at this moment, Roddy could not suppress the impulse within his heart.

Roddy activated his skill!

Mechanical Heart!

…

Weng!

It was as though an extensive amount of information was being crammed into his consciousness as streams of data inundated Roddy’s mind, just like waterfall!

The feeling was akin to having a person tossed into the confines of a giant bell before proceeding to ring the bell!

Roddy could feel humming sounds reverberating through the inside of his ears, throwing him into a spiral of dizziness.

In that instant, a consciousness seemed to have appeared within his mind.

“What. Are. You?”

Hmm?

…

Chen Xiaolian ran to the area beneath the Mech and raised his head to look upward.

He saw Roddy standing upon the raised lift, his body leaning forward and one hand was placed onto the surface of the Mech.

Once again, Chen Xiaolian called out twice toward Roddy. However, he saw that Roddy was not responding.

Chen Xiaolian immediately sensed that something bad was happening.

That fellow’s chuunibyou syndrome was acting up again! Roddy had ignored his warning!

“Roddy!”

Chen Xiaolian howled loudly. Then, he picked up a hammer from the nearby tool station and smashed it onto the rails of the lift a few times.

Clanging sounds echoed throughout the warehouse. However, Roddy who was standing on the lift continued to show zero response.

“Damn it!”

Chen Xiaolian cursed out loudly and looked at the rails of the lift. He spat out fiercely and his arms and legs began to move, climbing up the rail.

After Chen Xiaolian reached the lift, he leapt over the fence of the lift and landed on it. As he was trying to pull Roddy over, he suddenly found Roddy’s body to be abnormally heavy!

Roddy’s entire body appeared stiff and he was glued stubbornly onto the Mech!

Chen Xiaolian tried pulling him a few times but Roddy’s hand appeared to be firmly stuck onto the surface of the Mech, not showing any sign of movement at all.

Chen Xiaolian’s heart became tense and he exerted more strength through his hands in his attempt to pull Roddy over. Still, he was unable to move Roddy.

What is going on here? Chen Xiaolian cursed inwardly.

Chen Xiaolian smacked Roddy’s back a couple of times, attempting to wake him up. However, this fellow remained in a comatose state.

“Damn it!” Chen Xiaolian shouted in anger.

Then, as his hand slapped down onto Roddy’s back once more…
