Chapter 1 The Glory of Mecha
"For survival and glory, let's join the glorious evolution."
Listening to the propaganda broadcast echoing in the streets, Xu Jiang felt dumbfounded.
When he heard it for the first time, he almost took out his phone and called the police. It took him a while to realize that he had traveled through time and entered a chaotic and dangerous world.
In three months, he gradually adapted to the life here. If he wants to live well, he must awaken his talent and become a strong person.
"No. 8778, Xu Jiang."
"exist."
"You have read the Awakening Manual thoroughly, please enter this door and complete the job change."
The beautiful specialist who led the way showed a professional smile and patiently arranged the transfer work.
Xu Jiang nodded, followed the guidance, and walked into the small room on the side.
The room was very empty, with only a purple-red flame floating in the center. I couldn't feel the hot breath, but it exuded a blurry look.
This thing, called a spiritual seed by people in this world, has the ability to awaken human talents.
Slowly stretched out his hand, as if a burst of electricity washed through his body, and the cold mechanical sound sounded in his mind.
[The potential has been activated and talents are being drawn.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the B-level talent: Mecha Overload. 】
…
…
[Congratulations, you have obtained the SSS-level talent: General's Order.]
It’s actually dual talents! It also has the highest SSS level!
Could it be that the obvious lag in the voice was because he traveled through time? Xu Jiang was secretly happy.
[Talent extraction is complete, it is strongly recommended to choose the Mecha Master profession. 】
"Just the mecha master."
[Confirmation completed, job transfer successful, may the glory of machinery be with you.]
After receiving a cold blessing, Xu Jiang felt like a spring breeze. He opened his eyes again and a piece of information appeared in his mind.
【Name】:Xu Jiang
[Level]:Level 1
[Occupation]: Mecha Master
[Talent]: Mecha Overload, General's Order
[Skill]: Simple Repair Lv1
[Mecha Overload]: After overloading is turned on, the effectiveness of the mecha is doubled, and the lethality of the weapons equipped with the mecha is doubled. It lasts for 10 seconds and has a cooling time of 6 hours.
[General's Order]: The mechanical soul, high-spirited and immortal. As a mechanical general, you can point some weapons to general, and after clicking, you will be completely bound to the host.
[Simple Repair Level 1]: No need to be proficient in mechanical principles. Through special abilities, you can repair machinery that does not exceed your own level and is below green quality. Material consumption is increased by 100%.
…
One [Mecha Overload] has a long cooldown time, and the other [Simple Repair] is purely for logistical purposes, which doesn't seem very practical.
Fortunately, there is also an SSS-level talent [General's Order], which should be very powerful.
How to use it?
Xu Jiang looked at the mecha box beside him. The metal shell was more than one meter high and looked very strong. This should be the equipment given after changing jobs.
After pressing the opening button, a dull mechanical deformation sound sounded, the box was gradually opened, and a set of mecha appeared in front of you.
After all, it is given for free, and it is impossible to have advanced mechas. Xu Jiang's set is the most basic exoskeleton mecha.
The black tactical uniform is lined with skeleton-like support structures, made of dark gray alloy, and looks full of technology.
Xu Jiang put on the tactical uniform and pressed the confirm button. The mecha began to shrink and cling tightly. The first feeling was... it was so heavy!
The dark gray alloy structure tightly locks the legs, elbows, ankles and other power-generating parts. It has strong protective armor on the chest and back, and a silver pistol hangs on the waist.
It's like a heavy hard leather coat. It doesn't affect your movement when you wear it, but it's really heavy.
If Xu Jiang remembers correctly, this style should be the first-generation standard mecha with a history of hundreds of years. This is no longer a matter of elimination, but can be displayed in a museum.
【I found a machine that can be clicked, do you want to click it?】
A notification sound was triggered in his mind. Xu Jiang kept patting the mecha on his body without saying a word.
【Congratulations, the click will be successful.】
Huh? It’s so simple and successful? Look at the properties.
[T-1000 Exoskeleton Mecha (Admiral)]
[Type]: First generation light skeleton mecha
[Quality]: White
[Weapon position]: Sand Eagle pistol, empty, empty, empty
[Mecha weight]: 40kg
[Attribute]: Increase the explosive strength of the limbs by 80kg.
…
[Sand Eagle Pistol (Colonel)]
[Quality]: White
[Magazine capacity]: 12.7mm bullets, 7 rounds
…
Seeing this attribute, Xu Jiang's heart dropped.
Is there any difference between before and after this point?
It's still a blank slate of equipment, it still doesn't have many attribute bonuses, it's just rubbish.
Just when Xu Jiang was struggling, an urging voice came from the radio, and he could only quickly remove the armor and leave the job transfer room.
Outside the door, there was still the receptionist with a sweet smile, but his smile was a little stiff when he saw him pulling the mecha box with the name T-1000.
"Mr. Xu, have you successfully changed jobs? Do you need vocational training? Let me fill out the form for you. What occupation is it?"
"Mecha Master."
"What is talent?"
"B-level [Mecha Overload]."
"Skill?"
"[Simple Repair Lv1]"
"Take the form and fill it out yourself. I'm very busy. Next one."
"..."
Is it so real? His face changed faster than flipping through a book. Xu Jiang shook his head helplessly.
It can be seen that the beautiful woman at the front desk wants to find a rich husband. Her smile just now is a kind of investment.
It was obvious that Xu Jiang's talent and profession were such that he would lose all his money. His face was stunned, and he immediately kicked him out in disgust.
"Hmph! Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty. One day, we will rise!"
"That's right, if you ignore us today, you won't be able to reach us tomorrow."
Xu Jiang felt a little embarrassed when he heard the passionate vow to be a good middle school student. What's more important is: he didn't say these words!
Xu Jiang walked to the corner and patted the mecha box next to him.
"Were you talking just now?"
Although the sound came directly into his mind, he could clearly feel that the sound came from his new equipment.
"Hello general, I am your subordinate Sha Ying. You can just call me Xiao Sha."
The Desert Eagle shook slightly, and a sonorous and powerful voice of a young man came out, which felt like a solemn salute to him.
"Can you speak?" Xu Jiang's head was a little confused.
"Reporting to General, yes, your power has allowed us to successfully awaken, and the glory of machinery will surely bloom."
Such fervent passion, Xu Jiang couldn't help but look at the attributes again, okay, it's still two pieces of blank equipment, with this kind of combat power, can it really rise?
As if sensing Xu Jiang's suspicion, another female voice sounded in his mind.
"General, we will definitely help you get back the humiliation you suffered today. As long as we continue to upgrade, we will become stronger."
Well, that sounds very reasonable.
According to Xu Jiang's knowledge, many special professions will appear when changing professions, but only the mechanical profession has the fastest upgrade speed.
Replacing a layer of alloy armor and carrying a large-caliber gun barrel can be considered an improvement! It is much cleaner and neater than those professions that require meditation and practice.
What's more, his [General's Order] can channel psychic energy to machines. With the help of a group of weapon spirits, his combat power will definitely soar.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiang felt confident, filled out the form, found the deserted registration window in the corner, and handed the form over.
Unlike the enthusiastic and beautiful salesperson outside, the receptionist here is obviously shabby.
A chair, a table, and an old man drinking tea.
Chapter completed!
