The early morning sunlight shines through the half-closed blinds and onto the long solid wood table covered with off-white floral flowers.
Smelling the faint and fresh fragrance of grass and trees coming from the window, Lu Yuan was in a good mood and preparing to enjoy his breakfast.
Of course, everything would be even better if there wasn't that noisy machine roar in our ears.
Breakfast was cooked by a nanny robot, consisting of poached eggs, ham, bread, and a bowl of thick soup made with fresh vegetables.
He casually stuffed a piece of ham and fried egg into his mouth, and heard a gentle knock on the door.
Lu Yuan slowly chewed the food in his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Come in."
The taste of breakfast is actually quite delicious, but it feels hard to swallow after a long journey.
Lu Yuan has never been particularly picky when it comes to eating.
But since inheriting the innate ability of the Soul Devouring Clan, Lu Yuan feels that his requirements for food seem to have become much higher.
I didn't feel it too much when I was at the Lu family before.
After experiencing the recovery of the body last night, and the plummeting standard of living in all aspects after arriving on Lilva Star, this point began to become particularly obvious.
“I feel like this fork actually makes me have more appetite.”
Lu Yuanzhan looked at the metal tableware in his hand and swallowed lightly subconsciously.
He could feel that his desire for metallic substances was now stronger than ordinary food.
Maybe it’s because of the [Soul-Eating God Demon Seed (Super Mythical)] panel.
Lu Yuan casually glanced at his career panel and saw that a black progress bar extending upwards to the right for the lv3 [Swallow] skill had reached almost one-third of the way.
Far beyond the red progress bar on the left.
In other words, as long as he completes the remaining two-thirds of the progress, he can officially unlock the first advanced skill of the Super Mythical Soul Devouring Panel.
If you guessed it correctly, this skill should still be related to the Demonic God's Mecha inheritance unique to the Soul-Eating Clan.
"Good morning, Master."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in Lu Yuan's ears.
Lu Yuan pulled his thoughts back from his thoughts and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
Lu Feng.
Compared with a day ago, Lu Feng seemed to have lost a lot of weight at this time.
His temperament also changed, becoming more gloomy and reserved than before.
Lu Feng's face was not haggard, but his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, which looked a bit eye-catching.
It can be seen that for Lu Feng, who had just been implanted with the [Seed of Doom], yesterday's night was not a pleasant one.
“It was a little painful at first.”
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Feng in front of him with a gentle expression, and said, "When your body is completely transformed by the [Seed of Doom], you will find that all the pain you have experienced before is worth it."
"clear."
Lu Feng replied in a low voice.
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and his face showed a look of relaxation and satisfaction.
His words seemed to be comforting Lu Feng, but in fact they also contained elements of temptation.
He directly confessed that the changes that happened to Lu Feng were his own hands, and Lu Feng didn't have any emotional fluctuations.
It seems that the entire person's spiritual will has been initially successfully transformed by the [Seed of Doom], and he naturally begins to be loyal to him.
"I have a task for you today"
Lu Yuan casually pushed the breakfast in front of him aside, picked up the dinner paper at hand and gently wiped his mouth.
"You go to the nearby bismuth metal mines and let them mine the waste mines contaminated by the source of worms in the future. They do not need to be processed and can be sold directly to us.
You can also consider selling the captured live spores to us. The price is a few percent higher than the market price. It doesn't matter."
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Lu Feng thought about it and said, "If the young master needs bismuth metal waste ore, he can actually go directly to the waste ore processing company."
"Do you have any connections?"
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and was satisfied with Lu Feng's new thinking habit that he did not immediately wonder why he purchased the waste bismuth mine, but instead took the initiative to propose a better solution.
Never question the master's orders and share the master's worries wholeheartedly.
Lu Feng has begun to show his potential to become a loyal servant.
“Every mining site will need to deal with waste ore, and our mining site is no exception.
Just ask the person in charge of this matter at the prospecting site."
Lu Feng answered calmly.
Lu Yuan nodded and said: "Then you go and deal with it.
Two paths, proceed together.
Anyway, I just want to get as many source breath insects and waste ores as possible in the fastest time."
"yes."
Lu Feng nodded, turned around and left.
Before he had gone far, he suddenly called out to him.
"What are you going to do with your mecha? Find a place to repair it?"
Lu Yuan asked Lu Feng.
In the battle last night, Lu Feng's level five Wind Raider mecha was almost smashed by him. Even the cockpit was cut open and it was no longer able to be driven.
Now that Lu Feng is his own, his combat power has been seriously affected, so Lu Yuan naturally has to consider this.
"We have contacted the nearest maintenance point, and they should send someone to take the mecha away for repairs in the next few days.
During this period, Lu Feng may not be able to help the young master much in the battle."
Lu Feng hesitated to answer.
"Um."
Lu Yuan understood clearly and waved his hand to let him leave.
After Lu Feng left, Lu Yuan was the only one left in the room.
Lu Yuan had no intention of continuing to have breakfast, and set a task for the home smart butler to clean the room, and then went out of the house.
The residence Woolf arranged for him was far away from the mining operations and also far away from where many miners lived.
I don't know if I don't want the noise to disturb him, or if I don't want him to get too close to the mine.
Not far from the house is a dense virgin forest.
Lu Yuan walked slowly along a path. As he walked, he called up his career panel to check.
The main gains were sorted out last night, and now I’m looking at some improvements that I didn’t notice before.
For example, the [Pilot (Extraordinary)] profession.
After experiencing the battle with Lu Feng last night, Lu Yuan's original lv2 [Pilot (Extraordinary)] career level was directly upgraded to
Gain 2 attribute points and 2 skill points.
In addition, there is a newly unlocked high-level skill on the career panel of [Pilot (Extraordinary)] - lv1 [Wind Demon Mad Ax Style].
When he was fighting Lu Feng last night, he spontaneously used the Lu family's traditional mecha combat method [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style] that he had practiced for a month.
Because I was used to slashing people with an ax in the elephant god Shura form, I changed the two training heavy swords that originally came with the Blue Falcon Type 4 into the most convenient double ax form.
When practicing Lu Yuan's [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style] fighting method, he tried to constantly integrate the ax technique he learned and the martial arts of the Grandmaster Divine Elephant Style into it.
During the battle with Lu Feng, some of the immature aspects were initially completed, and the prototype of Lu Yuan's original [Wind Demon Mad Ax Style] battle method was naturally born.
"Although it is just a rough creation now, the ability to easily defeat Lu Feng's [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style] at the technical level proves that the potential of my dual-axe style combat method is not low.
If we improve it in the future, we may have the opportunity to be promoted to the top mecha warfare school."
Lu Yuan is more of a martial arts master, not a master of cold weapon tactics.
I dare not say anything if I am too full.
If it were a bare-handed style of fighting, then he would indeed be confident that he would be among the best in the world.
It's a pity that mecha combat is not discussed with bare hands.
Controlling a mecha to fight with bare hands is no different from using a Barrett as an iron rod to hit someone.
"If I have the chance, I still have to fight more with other pilots. Last night's battle seemed like I was crushing Lu Feng from start to finish, but in fact there were still many mistakes and mistakes.
I have too little experience in actual mecha combat, which is a major shortcoming of mine at this stage."
Lu Yuan likes to treat mechas as martial arts.
Different schools of mecha combat methods are like different schools of martial arts inheritance. Different types of mechas can also be equated to martial arts fighters with different physiques and different styles.
When he first learned fighting, a very important stage was that he accumulated a lot of practical experience in Mosa's fighting ring and met many fighters of all kinds.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly couldn't help but think of Lin Zhiqin.
My introduction to martial arts was a rigid and stubborn middle-aged man who was a heavy smoker and whom I always called my coach.
After taking her daughter to Huang Xiong for treatment, she never saw him again.
And teacher Liu Doyuan
"call--"
Lu Yuan let out a breath and put aside the many distracting thoughts that surged up in his mind.
Some people say that worry is an obstacle for a person to go higher.
But Lu Yuan feels that caring about these people and things is his biggest motivation to move forward at this stage.
"I wonder how Hitomi-sama is doing now?"
Thinking of this name, Lu Yuan became more and more worried.
Lu Yuan stopped on a lawn covered with morning dew, breathed in the air full of the smell of grass and earth, and closed his eyes.
The mind returns to the mind.
At this time, there were two spiritual cores in his mind - the golden whirlwind representing the [Rhythmic Wind], and the transparent ball representing the [Zero Form] cultivation method.
Lu Yuan's mind turned slightly, and the golden whirlwind in his mind suddenly trembled.
Then the volume suddenly expanded to at least three times its original size.
The transparent ball representing [Type Zero] is divided into two, and a new transparent ball emerges. There seems to be a white silk thread connecting the two balls.
Look at the career panel again.
[Rhythmic Wind] and [Zero Form], these two mental power cultivation methods have both entered the stage.
Lu Yuan was not surprised by all these changes.
His intelligence attribute increased to 25 points after last night's devouring and absorption, and he already has the strength of level two mental power.
Going back and revising these two mental power cultivation methods, improvement and changes are all natural things.
Lu Yuan tried both of his improved mental powers.
[Rhythmic Wind] increases the speed more and more obviously, reaching about twice as much as the first level.
[Type Zero] is similar, the increase is still very comprehensive and very mediocre.
"Lu Feng also practices [Rhythmic Wind], and he's already at level five.
But after fighting against him last night, I felt that his peak speed when controlling the mecha in battle was only seven or eight times the speed of sound, so it wasn’t that exaggerated.”
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
You know, when he has level one mental power, he can control the Blue Falcon to reach more than three times the speed of sound. However, at level five, Lu Feng's speed is only twice that of his level one, which doesn't feel in line with his strength.
After thinking about it for a while, I figured it out quickly.
"Yes."
"Lu Feng is controlling a level five mecha. The sophistication, complexity, and control difficulty of a level five mecha are far superior to those of a level one mecha.
And the higher the speed, the harder it is to increase it.
I am not an ordinary person, and Lu Feng is not an outstanding and talented pilot.
Comparing one upper limit and one lower limit, the gap will naturally appear smaller.”
Lu Yuan found that he always habitually ignored a key issue.
Because he uses a mecha to transform, he has completely reached the realm of "human and machine integration".
But for other pilots, there is also the issue of resonance.
The same pilot controls different types of mechas, and the resonance levels are completely different.
And this resonance is the key to how much a pilot can unleash his own strength.
"The Wind Attack Swordsman is only a fifth-level standard mecha. It is not tailor-made and unique. It does not perfectly fit with the Lu family's [Wind Spirit Sword Shadow Style]. Lu Feng's ability to reach this point may be considered very good.
Not bad”
The advantage of Lu Yuan's "mecha transformation" is reflected at this time.
Although after some devouring and transformation, most of the mecha's original abilities were gone, leaving only a hard shell.
It is equivalent to knocking something with a delicate structure and originally having many functions into a discus.
Abandoned everything and only added defense.
But this also means that Lu Yuan's special mental power amplification effect can directly affect himself.
Just like in the battle with Lu Feng last night, he only had level 2 mental power, and [Rhythmic Wind] hadn't been upgraded yet, so his speed was not much slower than Lu Feng, who had level 5 [Rhythmic Wind].
The reason is that he has two levels of speed increase.
The first level is the master-level muscle exertion.
The other layer is the effect of [Rhythmic Wind].
The superposition of the two directly allows him to reach a speed comparable to a level five scout mecha.
In the future, he can still do this.
As long as the strength of the mecha body can withstand it, with several levels of his mental power, he will be able to fully demonstrate the amplification effect of his current level of mental power in actual combat.
There is no need to consider the issue of resonance or non-resonance at all.
This is a huge advantage compared to other pilots.
"Based on this alone, I already have the capital to gain a foothold in this world where mechas are king.
Not to mention that in the future, you can unlock the Soul Devourer clan’s exclusive Demon God mechs.
I don’t know what kind of power the Demon God’s mecha will have.”
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful.
After adjusting his mental strength, Lu Yuan silently practiced Xingwu for a while.
After his mental power increased to level two, his efficiency in using star points to absorb cosmic energy also increased several times.
Although compared with directly absorbing the life energy contained in the waste mine, this is still a drop in the bucket, but at least it can be regarded as changing from mosquito legs to fly legs, and may evolve into grasshopper legs in the future, with thicker, stronger and meatier thighs.
"Hurry up! Move quickly! Haven't any of you had breakfast?"
We were walking and stopping along the way, doing morning exercises in the forest.
Suddenly I heard a loud noise coming from a distance.
Some of them were shouting and shouting, and there was a faint sound of engine roaring.
Lu Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he slowly leaned towards the direction of the sound.
