Chapter 129: Eating Scrap Metal (1/2)

-----

After everyone went to sleep on the second floor, where I gave everyone some leather beds and put them on the chimney so they could sleep more comfortably, I decided to assess what I got.

A pile of scrap metal and all types of mechanical pieces… and a large mana core battery shattered into pieces.

Oh right, there are also the small drones I got… those also had small mana cores on them.

I decided to eat all the mana cores. The big one was the tastiest, and it granted a nice amount of stats.

…

Now, what do I do with the scrap metal? I just ate the mana cores, and I didn't get any skills like [Living Mechanical Body], [Gamma Blade], or anything, so I don't think I will get any of such things from eating these robots either.

But why not give them a try? They seem to be made of magic metals even rarer than what I found with Mining. Oh right, when I mined days ago, I got a pile of metals, although I have not been using them because it is frankly easier to use Icesmith to make weapons and armor…

I have eaten a few of these metals, but they are not tasty, nor they gave me anything. Well, I guess like any other cultivation material.

But maybe it could be different this time?

Hmm… Well, I will eat three drones and an entire arm of the big one, how about that? Maybe if I ever find a Technomancer, he could build me a mech or something… Is there another Technomancer? I hope so… Wait, no, I don't hope so. I don't want to fight with overpowered mechs again.

Anyways, I started munching.

It was very hard to eat.

Ugh.

But I continued to devour it all and swallowed it for some time… Uegh.

After around an hour, I finished.

…

And nothing!

Okay, this was a total waste of time-

Ding!

<You learned the following Skills>

[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]

[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]

[Mithril Ore Shell: Level 1]

[Photon Bullet: Level 1]

…

What?

So I got something?! Not what I had imagined though, I didn't instantly become a robot or something… But this is way more than I thought I would get, which was just nothing.

This is… Also very strange, is this the first time I am getting element-based skills that are not of ice and wind?

[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]

Manipulate the magnetic energies around your body to a lesser extent. Can be improved through the use of Gravity Magic, a branch of Spatial Magic.

…

So this one is related to Space Attribute! Well, it is not as if I suddenly gained space magic though, it is limited to a certain use.

[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]

Rearrange your metallic parts for greater efficiency when moving or fighting.

…

Eh? This one is definitely for a robot, it shouldn't work for me, right?
