Chapter 44: Chapter 42 He Really Cares About Me!_1

Translator: 549690339

The development of transcendent abilities is not something that can be completed in a mere moment.

Moreover, the core strength of a mecha pilot will always be their Mecha.

Jiang Chen didn’t rush to learn the methods of cultivation. Instead, he summoned the repaired model Zero Mecha and said to Laila,

“Now it should have awakened. Try to feel it again.”

Laila nodded, extended her right hand, and touched the purple and white Mecha in front of her.

It was as though a baby was born; from the moment the Mecha was summoned, a sprout of consciousness burgeoned into existence.

A sprout is simply that, chaotic and confused…

Like a blank sheet, empty, awaiting to be inscribed upon.

Until at one moment, the deepest pain struck, causing consciousness to lose itself in unconsciousness, yet it broke the chaos apart.

The concepts of “shattering,” “pain,” and “death” began to take root.

When consciousness awakened once more, it instinctively longed for strength, unwilling to endure that kind of torment again.

It reached out to the closest and most beloved presence, crying out for its longing.

The other seemed to understand its yearning and granted it strength, making it rapidly become powerful.

Even giving it the ability to heal itself, as though it would never have to sink into the agonizing cycles of shattering and death again.

It joyfully absorbed this strength and happily protected that being, helping to dispose of enemies.

However…

Shattering came once more.

It couldn’t understand, having absorbed so much power, why it still fell into a state of disintegration again.

Fortunately, that being didn’t give up on it.

It not only fully repaired it, but also brought a plethora of extraordinary materials to enhance its strength.

It strived to cooperate with the one enhancing it, greedily drawing in every bit of nourishment.

It could feel that it had become extremely powerful, surely capable of protecting that being!

It shattered again.

The third time it broke, the pain was not as severe, but the sense of defeat grew stronger.

It was supposed to be the adult’s Mecha; why did it always end up shattered?

Thankfully, the adult repaired it personally and told it that he wanted to fight alongside it, to let it catch up with his pace…

That was difficult, the adult was becoming stronger and stronger.

But it would definitely try hard!

It shattered again.

The enemy was too powerful, it couldn’t withstand even a moment, which was truly embarrassing.

But the adult had defeated the enemy and received the deserved reward, so it was all worth it.

Moreover, the adult also told it the story of Phoenix Nirvana today.

Shattering is not the end, nor can it bring one down; instead, it makes one even stronger.

The adult would also help it become stronger.

It would surely catch up with the adult’s pace!

It shattered yet again.

A mix of complex emotions flowed into her heart through her fingertips.

Laila could not know Zero’s experiences, but she felt emotions like “resilience,” “affection,” “admiration,” “struggle,” and so forth.

These emotions were rich and passionate; they almost made her believe she was facing a living creature instead of a Mecha.

Jiang Chen, meanwhile, watched her hopefully.

“Did you feel Zero?”

“How is it doing, is it sad, is it upset?”

“Tell Zero for me not to be sad about what happened before—”

“Even though it shattered, it managed to save a mecha pilot’s life, and that is certainly not a failure…”

[Whimper, that’s great, the adult truly cares about my feelings!!]

[But it’s okay, I won’t be brought down by such trivial matters!]

[I will definitely strive to follow at the adult’s side!]

As Jiang Chen spoke.

The emotions of the mecha soul that Laila felt surged to more than ten times their strength.

But after all, she was still young and her development of transcendent abilities was not considered high.

Like the “Origin of Life” trait, she could feel the emotions of the mecha soul but could not, like the most exquisite traits, hear the mecha soul’s “inner voice.”

Therefore, there was a certain margin of error.

She pondered for a moment before speaking.

“It’s not sad at all, but rather very… happy?”

“There are also emotions like resilience and admiration…”

“…Happy?”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

When a Mecha is completely shattered, the mecha soul directly loses consciousness.

Even Bai Ying had said that the process was extremely painful.

So, after shattering, Zero was not only not in much pain but actually overjoyed?

Jiang Chen was flabbergasted.

Bai Ying is a natural airhead, but could Zero be a masochist?

Wait a second, I named you Zero because you were my first Mecha, with no other implications!

However, the mecha soul’s personality had already taken shape.

Instead of forcibly changing it, it was better to continue guiding it toward a suitable path to strength.

For example, being a masochist could be guided into being tenacious and enjoying pain…

That seems quite fitting for the path of a Life Force Mecha with strong recovery abilities, indestructible…

After some thought, Jiang Chen decided to respect and bless it.

“That’s good.”

“Zero, do you remember the story of the phoenix I told you about?”

“The process of Nirvana and growth is unavoidable; injury and pain come with it, but you see pain as joy and enjoy the pain.”

“Then, nothing will ever be able to bring you down.”

“Eventually, you too will become strong, able to calmly face all enemies.”

“Although you have not undergone a mecha upgrade now, all that you are experiencing will transform into nutrients for your growth…”

Jiang Chen, looking at the purple and white Mecha in front of him, said seriously.

“Zero, do you wish to stay by my side, to continue fighting with me no matter how many times you are taken down?”

[Zero is willing!!]

[As long as Lord Tian Qi does not give up on Zero, Zero will always stay by Lord Tian Qi’s side!]

[Zero will try hard to enjoy the pain!]

Laila conveyed the mecha soul’s emotions with a refined summary.

“It is willing.”

Jiang Chen also smiled.

He extended his hand to rest it on the purple and white Mecha, silently chanting in his mind.

Model Zero Mecha, unite!

The purple and white Mecha instantly dispersed into countless components, not broken but connected together by purple vines.

In the next instant, the vines wrapped around Jiang Chen, and the white rock also closed in suddenly, transforming back into a complete Mecha.

Laila stood by enviously watching this scene.

The Mecha that Lord Tian Qi wore was not only gorgeous in appearance but also so full of spirit.

If only her steam mecha could be that cool…

Having completed the mecha soul communication, Jiang Chen was completely reassured.

Now there was no need to worry about the mecha soul slacking off due to too much shattering.

Of course, communication needed to continue.

In these ten days, with Laila’s ability, he should communicate more with the mecha soul, bond with it, and improve the bond to facilitate the mecha upgrade.

Whether it is Pokémon or Digimon, bond evolution is always the coolest thing!

Next was the practice and control of transcendent abilities.

Jiang Chen followed the method of the tailcoat gentleman to try developing the abilities of the Seed of Flames.

The results were quite pleasing.

Although there was no change in power due to the limited time.

However, Jiang Chen’s control over the abilities of the Seed of Flames had greatly improved.

Originally, he could only perform the simplest operations like fire attachment, fire launch, fire extinguishment, and fire concentration.

Now, he could transform the fire into various shapes.

Whether it’s a fireball, a fire serpent, or even scattering into a small fire rain, it all came easily to him.

Although the Seed of Flames was just a transitional ability,

it also proved that the Mecha Module absorbed by Jiang Chen had truly transformed into his ability, not just a simple enhancement.

After all, improving module ability through practice is something that, when applied to a Mecha, is absolutely impossible!
