GOR Chapter 153: Now You See?
The Mech?
A pet?
Chen Xiaolian stared at Roddy as he quickly digested the main issue of the matter.
“You mean to say, that Mech is not simply just a machine? It… it is not an inanimate object?”
“En!” Roddy had a very serious expression on his face. “More accurately, it is a living mechanical object. Perhaps, it is similar to the Floater, a mechanical life form. That is why the system would consider it as a pet.”
“Holy shit!” Chen Xiaolian exhaled deeply and stared at Roddy. Then he said in earnest. “Bro, you’ve hit the jackpot!”
Chen Xiaolian suddenly became excited and he grabbed Roddy’s clothes. “Mech! It is THE MECH argh!”
Roddy snickered. “This time around, the harvest is truly considerable. This Mech is very versatile. It could engage in both air and land battles, and it possesses extremely powerful melee and ranged battle capabilities. According to the system’s evaluation of its initial setting, its melee and ranged capabilities are both at [A] Class. Its Melee Ability is at [A] Class, its Energy Points is at [A] Class and its Growth Capacity is at… [A+]!”
Chen Xiaolian lost his composure.
[A+]?
Holy shit!
This senior had to struggle through so much hardship, nearly losing my life back in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in order to get my hands on that [A] Class Bai Qi!
This little bugger… all he did was sleep his way through… and he got his hands on an [A+] Class Mech!
There is only one step between that and [S] Class argh!
“First Xia Xiaolei, now you! All of you are just bursting with good luck! You fellows are all main characters! Get over here! Let me look at your head, let me see your main character’s radiant aura!” Chen Xiaolian gave a begrudging smile.
Chen Xiaolian then laughed out. “Come on then, summon out the Mech and let me bask in its beauty! This time, there is no need to fear Tian Lie anymore! [A+] Class!”
Roddy’s expression quickly turned somewhat embarrassed. “About that…”
“What is it?”
“There is a restriction to its usage.”
“Of course I know there will be restriction in its usage,” Chen Xiaolian waved his hand. “It is an [A+] Class high-end item after all. What is the restriction?”
After Roddy answered him, Chen Xiaolian’s expression turned awkward.
…
Roddy’s skill was ‘Mechanical Heart’. With this skill, it was inevitable that he would enter the mechanical and technological route of development. Thus, War Pets of the mech type such as the Floater would be most suitable for him.
However, the level for Roddy’s Mechanical Heart skill was not high enough.
As for this Mech, it was of the [A+] Class – what does that mean? This situation was no different to having a loser forcing himself to marry a fair and wealthy miss!
This [A+] Mech was a High-class mechanical life form. In Roddy’s case, it just so happened that his Mechanical Heart skill was able to meet the necessary condition to link up with this mechanical life form, allowing him to acquire this Mech.
Unfortunately, there was a problem… his skill level needed to be high in order to control the Mech. Roddy’s ‘Mechanical Heart’ skill, however, did not make the cut.
Under such circumstances, certain restrictions will be imposed, usually in the form of time limit in usage.
The current level that Roddy’s Mechanical Heart skill has could only allow him to summon the Mech to do battle for…
“18 seconds,” Roddy gave a distressed smile.
Chen Xiaolian: “… … …”
Chen Xiaolian could not restrain himself and he pulled an ‘are you kidding me’ face. “Only 18 seconds? Are you kidding me? Even the ads you get on Youtube are longer than that! [1]”
Roddy spread out his arms. “At present, my skill level is too low. The amount of time I can summon the Mech out to do battle is only that long. In the future, once I increase the level of my skill, the time limit would be increased. En, after summoning it, there will be a cool down period of 24 hours. By the way, the summoning time can be utilized cumulatively. In other words, within the 24 hours, I can summon it out for a few seconds then summon it back. Then, I can summon it out again… in short, as long as the time summoned does not exceed 18 seconds, I can keep summoning it out.”
Chen Xiaolian sighed. “That is quite the good news. However, 18 seconds is just too short.”
…
“So, you were abandoned?”
Tian Lie looked at Nagase Komi who remained huddled inside the pickup truck. Then, he tore out the door of the truck and pulled the bald girl out from the truck. After that, he tossed Nagase Komi down onto the ground. There was a playful smile on Tian Lie’s face. “What a pitiful thing.”
Tears trickled down Nagase Komi’s face as she cried. “Don… do not hurt me… I beg you… I beg you… please do not hurt me.”
Tian Lie looked at the flame tattoo on the girl’s neck and suddenly smiled out. He pointed at the tattoo with his finger and asked. “What does that mean?”
“Just… it is just a totem,” Nagase Komi was momentarily stunned. “I… I do not know the specifics of it. I just… just feel that it looks very cool.”
“Very cool?” Tian Lie gave a faint smile. “Interesting. It is indeed quite cool.”
Tian Lie’s eyes flashed and a flame totem tattoo appeared on his neck. After inspecting the tattoo through the pickup truck’s mirror, he smiled. “Not bad, I like its shape.”
After saying that, Tian Lie patted Nagase Komi’s bald head and said. “Isn’t this better? Hair is such an unnecessary existence.”
“You… are you going to kill me?” Nagase Komi shivered.
“…” Tian Lie regarded her before suddenly saying. “Now that you have been abandoned by your Guild Leader, don’t you feel angry?”
Nagase Komi did not say anything; her lips were pursed together tightly.
“Ha ha ha ha ha,” Tian Lie laughed. “You little brat, I like you. You see, the both of us have the same hair style.”
At the same time, his eyes suddenly turned grim and he spoke out in a low tone of voice. “… being abandoned, that is the kind of thing I hate the most.”
Tian Lie then raised his head and looked at Nagase Komi. “I will give you a choice.”
…
“Hmm?”
Chen Xiaolian’s eyes suddenly flickered.
[System prompt: Your guild member Nagase Komi had left your guild.]
…
“From today onward, you are my pet,” Tian Lie looked at the bald girl and rubbed his own bald head. “Even though the system does not allow the adoption of participants as pets, I, senior Tian Lie cares not! If I say you are my pet, then you are my pet! From today onward, you will be under my protection! If anyone bullies you, just say out senior Tian Lie’s name!”
Nagase Komi looked on with fear at this powerful person who was standing before her.
A system prompt appeared before her.
[System prompt: You have applied to become a member of ‘Thorned Flower Guild’. Please wait for inspection].
“You… are you going to let me go? You are not going to kill me?” Nagase Komi looked at Tian Lie gingerly.
“I generally do not kill women. Naturally… those Floating Angels are an exception. I detest those winged bastards the most,” Tian Lie laughed.
“Then… will you still go and kill my Guild Leader…”
“Listen up!” Tian Lie’s expression suddenly darkened and he reached out to pinch Nagase Komi’s chin. Tian Lie spoke out coldly. “You have already left his guild. As of now, he is no longer your Guild Leader, understood?”
“… yes,” Nagase Komi shrank back and nodded her head. At this moment, this Japanese girl’s submissive nature was forced out.
“All right, for now, you can stay here. I will keep on hunting,” Tian Lie stretched his waist and laughed. “There is not much time left. It is about time I finish up the hunt!”
