Chapter 76: The Tower of Babel (Part 2/2)

If Jack wasn’t carrying so many useless components, he would completely be taken for a mighty Deep Blue Walker with his helmet on.

However, this Deep Blue Walker’s mind was stretched extremely taut. The suspicious signal had given him an intense unease that wasn’t easy to eliminate.

Installing the robotic eye was just a start.

There were still several advanced detection instruments within Jack’s previous body. Right now they took priority. They were disassembled and integrated into Jack’s current exoskeleton armor.

Jack constantly turned his head during the installation process. He let his robotic eye guide all the detection instruments within his body, surveying the inner environment of the vehicle over and over again.

But no matter how many times he surveyed, Jack was unable to seize the suspicious signal once again.

But from another perspective, every detection survey wasn’t completely meaningless. Large quantities of data passed through the Tower of Babel using this method. A highly efficient convergence and combining were realized through this unique structure. Every survey stood for a deeper level of understanding towards the world by Jack.

This was something Jack had never experienced before.

Luo Nan’s evaluation towards this was as follows: Jack was on the right path.

After being frightened by Luo Nan, Jack’s altered train of thought clearly exhibited changes. He no longer chased after increasing his immediate combat strength; he integrated the detection and scanning equipment to the best of his ability to guard against the incorporeal and traceless threat.

From Luo Nan’s perspective, this stuck closer to the essence of configuration over the military fort-style alteration. Namely, Jack was raising perception and awareness capabilities, he was endlessly enriching the source and level of information, he was strengthening the quality of integrated thought. He was climbing upon this grand Tower of Babel from the bottom levels to the top levels, from the concrete to the abstract, to reach the absolute mental domain.

Looking at the long-term, Jack would certainly be able to reap some gains if he were to persevere in this sort of alteration method. He would find it easier to exhibit power on the mental plane.

Was Luo Nan helping Jack make a breakthrough? Obviously, he wasn’t.

He was just looking favorably on Jack’s alterations. There was something that existed within Jack’s body that made it impossible to make up for an error…… His emotional thought process still had no defenses whatsoever. It would be hard for him to find a suitable medium within a short timeframe.

It didn’t matter whether it was his emotions or his thoughts, they were all the foundation of the soul and they were all laid bare in this way. Jack’s soul was tantamount to being completely defenseless. At least in Luo Nan’s eyes, Jack was incomparably weak.

Luo Nan didn’t intervene before because Jack was maintaining a good habit. Jack was doing the utmost to maintain a synchronized tempo between his body and mind. It was like Rui Wen’s body and soul merging. He possessed a powerful defensive strength against purely mental attacks.

But this kind of synchronized tempo possessed extremely harsh demands.

For instance, Rui Wen, who was stronger, needed to constantly adjust the state of her body to constantly maintain her calm and level mental state. Only in this way could she maintain her peak level within intense combat.

Compared to Rui Wen, the current Jack’s range of emotional fluctuations was huge. At the same time, Jack was endlessly altering his ad hoc body. His line of thought over the alterations was not completely the same from the start to the end. Even if he had the Dynamo Core in the middle as a mediator, there was a large probably for it all to come apart.

Jack had found the proper direction; he endlessly raised the strength and level of his soul. But the failure fort-style alteration he made before would eventually cause more and more serious influences towards his synchronized tempo.
