Chapter 521 - Divine Mecha I (2/2)

Zhen Hua let out a barking laugh as he went to the door of his office and led the way out.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue followed close behind him. Just the thought of seeing the red-grade mecha made Tang Wulin’s blood boil with anticipation. Even Gu Yue had an air of excitement about her. After all, red-grade mechas were existences that stood at the peak of the world!

When they got on the elevator, Tang Wulin asked, “Uncle-master, do you not have your own red-grade mecha?”

Zhen Hua shook his head. “My mecha is black-grade. You’ll understand why that is when you reach a higher level. Getting a red-grade mecha is a troublesome thing. I can’t spare any of my time because of the forging I need to do. That, and I’m afraid I’ll get too absorbed in it. When a person gets a red-grade mecha, upgrading it to the limit becomes their life. Every pilot I know that has a one is like that.”

“That’s right!” the chef chimed in. Then he sighed. “Red mechas really are a poison!”

Tang Wulin glanced at the chef curiously. He couldn’t fathom just how strange red mechas were. Even his uncle-master didn’t dare make one. He had a feeling they were even greater than the legends made them out to be!

Once they arrived at the roof, Zhen Hua led them to the spot where the spatial gate had been earlier. As soon as they reached it, the gate automatically opened. Zhen Hua didn’t so much as lift a finger, and the red-grade mecha materialized from the gate, feet first.

This time Tang Wulin got a more than just a good look at the mecha, and it was gorgeous. Its sleek frame shone spectacularly in the light. Gold lines ran along its scarlet armor, giving it an aura of magnificence. It was smaller than average mecha, the ankle joints seamlessly connecting its feet with the rest of its legs.

The gate grew bigger and bigger, revealing more and more of its form, and Tang Wulin’s eyes went wide. The mecha looked more like a giant metal man than a robot. Its slender form matched the proportions of a human, and it had no equipment on it. What truly shocked Tang Wulin was that, despite all the experience he had accumulated in blacksmithing, he couldn’t identify what metals the mecha was made from. This meant the metals were far beyond spirit refined. They had to be soul refined at the very least.

In just a few moments, the entirety of the mecha was revealed. It stood about six meters tall, several meters shorter than the usual mecha, but its body was much thinner too.

Tang Wulin was in absolute awe. Unarmed, its scarlet body held a striking grace. He could barely consider it a mecha. It was more like a giant suit of armor that legends would speak of. It lacked the rugged, powerful exterior that other mechas had. Instead, it seemed more like a sculpted piece of art. People with more specific aesthetic tastes would find themselves hard-pressed to identify a flaw in it. This was a divine red-grade mecha!

Zhen Hua walked over to Tang Wulin, amusement in his eyes. “Can you see what’s so special about it?”

Tang Wulin nodded subconsciously.

“Ruby,” the chef said as he stepped forward to stand beside them. The red mecha whirred to life, the golden lines running across its armor glowing brightly. The scarlet armor shone in the light.

Then the mecha spoke, its voice gentle and feminine. “Boss. What is your command?”

It can talk? Tang Wulin’s eyes widened, his jaw dropping as he turned to the chef.

The chef walked forward, stopping to stand right in front of the mecha. “I don’t have a command right now, but some kids here are interested in you. Show them just how different you are from other mechas.”

The mecha replied in a sweet voice. “Roger that, Boss.”
