Chapter 98

The Adventure contributed a shipment of Energy Crystals, which were ruthlessly hijacked by the Quest and placed in the Energy Crystals Reserve.

Tang Bai talks to the captain about how he's going to make a mecha pet that will cost him some energy crystals.

At this time the old captain knew nothing of the egg's appetite, and with a wave of his hand, he let it go.

Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang walk into the energy reserve together, and the moment they enter, the mecha egg, which has been lying quietly, suddenly begins to shake slightly, and rolls out of Tang Bai's hand with such joy that it is ready to roll out.

"Look at how hungry the child is." Tang Bai put the mecha egg on a pile of energy crystals, and the moment the black metal egg touched the energy crystals, the energy crystals, which were originally as crystalline and moist as jade, turned into powder with a swish.

A sheen flashed across the shell and the mecha egg automatically rolled towards another pile of energy crystals that hadn't been scourged.

Where did Tang Bai find this mecha egg?

"This egg is so edible.

[A little too edible, consuming one-tenth of the energy crystals in the energy bank in one go]

"...... I think the boat of my friendship with the captain might capsize." Tang Bai sorrowed.

Xie Ruhang consoled, "It's a blessing to be able to eat."

"No way!" Tang Bai grabbed the heavy mecha egg, "There won't be much energy left in the Explorer if we keep eating it!"

At this moment, the mecha egg had already eaten all the energy contributed by the Adventure, plus one-third of the Exploration's own energy reserves, the egg shell was full of luster, and there was also a subtle rattling sound, which seemed to be showing signs of breaking the shell.

Tang Bai, who has not yet seen the mechanical Teng Man break its shell, holds the egg in his hand, and Xie Ruhang holds Tang Bai's hand in his, as the three members of the family come together in harmony.

"Thump." A thumping sound came from the mecha egg.

Tang Bai's eyes showed a touch of love and emotion: "It was as if a little life had come to us, knocked carefully on our door, and asked timidly if we could let it in."

Xie Ruhang, not quite able to understand Tang Bai's slender and romantic thoughts, told Tang Bai, "When I hatched him before, he used to make that sound."

"Hmmm ...... It should mean that the energy crystals aren't enough to eat, and they want more."

The Mecha Egg shifted slightly in excitement, as if in agreement with Xie Ruhang's words.

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai placed the heavy egg in Xie Ruhang's hand, he stretched out his fingers, and while flicking the mecha egg's brain, he coldly said, "It's gone, shut up!"

The egg continued to make a reluctant knocking sound, as if the little beggar were knocking on an empty rice bowl.

Xie Ruhang frowned when he saw that the mecha-egg actually dared to challenge Tang Bai's educational authority, "Don't contradict your little father."

Eggs commiserated and quieted down.

Tang Bai walks vainly out of the Energy Reserve under the pained gaze of the old captain, who is beginning to wonder if he'll ever be able to pull the mechanical Teng Man up.

"Attention all players! The virus has traveled to the vicinity of the Energy Star! In order to contain the virus, we have decided to implement the Mechanical Teng Man Program! All players please hand over 90% of the ship's energy to the Explorer ......"

Tang Bai was relieved to hear the system's announcing tone; crowdfunding his cubs had taken a lot of pressure off him.

Nearly half of the ship's NPCs are ready to return, and now that these NPCs and players are arguing on the ship, Tang Bai decides to take the mechanical Teng Man to these ships first to dilly-dally.

The Explorer's mechs followed Tang Bai on the other ships, outnumbering the npc's and being able to suppress them by force if necessary.

Gu Tunan and the others are very skilled at this kind of NPC intimidation, a bunch of alpha's armed to the energy reserve, with the players of the ship "mutinied" and the bandits of the foreign ship, these NPCs watched in grief as the energy of their ship was swept away by the mecha-eggs.

After the Mechanical Teng Man had wrecked the energy reserves of two more ships, the eggshell finally cracked and a slender Mechanical Teng Man drilled its way out, followed by a second and third ......

More and more Teng Man topped off the eggshell, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it stretched out a tender Teng Man and rubbed the tip of Tang Bai's finger affectionately.

[It's kinda cute, but can such a tiny one really stop the Bugs?]

[I realized that it looks a little bit like God Xie's real-life mechanical pets... wait, it seems to be the data import of God Xie's mecha pets]

Nowadays, Teng Man carries with him the innocence of a newborn baby, very different from the old colorful batch of temperament he had when we first met.

The more Tang Bai looked at it, the stranger it got, quite a good cub, how come when he met with Mechanical Teng Man at that time, Mechanical Teng Man was so nasty?

Anyway, the cub has a lot of saving to do, and Tang Bai goes out of his way to tenderly pet little Teng Man, making the little leaves on Teng Man quiver with delight.

"You have to work hard to grow up and defeat the Bugs!" Tang Bai said softly to Teng Man.

Teng Man responded to him with an even more intense clatter.

"Brother Xie Look, it's promising me." Tang Bai said in relief.

Xie Ruhang was silent for a moment, but ultimately refrained from telling the brutal truth that the voice was Teng Man still trying to eat.

*

"Do you think that they will succeed?" Ms. Zheng said nervously.

The Headmaster looked at Tang Bai and Mechanical Teng Man in the live broadcast, Mechanical Teng Man had grown to the size of a small flat building and was doing friction training with Xie Ruhang.

Data import is to import the real Teng Man into the game, the real Teng Man is still recognized by Xie Ruhang, only Xie Ruhang can use the full power of Teng Man.

The mechanical Teng Man's strengths are fully realized when paired with a mech. The Teng Man's roots are parasitic on the mech, and countless Teng Man weave new bodies, allowing the mech to achieve gigantic proportions.

The mechanical Teng Man itself has a strong defense, comparable to that of the Bug Virus, and each Teng Man can be fought individually, but together they are even more powerful.

When Xie Ruhang pilots a mech parasitized by the mechanical Teng Man to fight the Bugs, he doesn't need to defeat the Bugs, he just needs to stall that Bug to buy valuable time for his teammates to reach the Energy Star in their ships.

The survival rate of this battle plan, called Mechanical Teng Man, is infinitely close to one hundred percent, the highest survival rate of any of the countless scenarios.

In fact, at that time, in addition to the decoy plan, they came up with a plan with a higher survival rate called the self-destruct plan.

All students who could pilot a ship maneuvered it to the Bugs to initiate self-destruct mode, a plan with the same ninety percent survival rate.

This plan was not taken up for three reasons, one being that there were very few students who could pilot a spaceship, and even fewer who could and were willing to self-sacrifice (death in a game infected by a bioinformatic infection virus has a certain chance of leading to brain death in reality).

Third, Tang Bai is one of the few students who can pilot a spaceship.

He is the sole heir of the Tang family, the most influential mecha maker of the new generation of the Federation, and will most likely be the future master weapons maker who will inherit His Excellency Tang Rong's Weapon Institute.

His Excellency Tang Rong has made great contributions to the Federation, while his wife died in the Empire's early hunting program against the Federation, and the Federation would be ashamed of its hero if they let His Excellency Tang Rong's only grandson die in the hunting program again.

So of the thirteen scenarios that were uploaded to the military, that self-destruct plan was sneakily scratched out by one of the higher-ups in the Federation.

The principal once again opened the document that was sent in the first place, "His Excellency Tang Rong also believes that there is no need to take special care of Tang Bai, that there is no nobility or inferiority in life, and that he (Tang Bai) is ready for sacrifice since he chose this path, the Tang family understands and obeys all the arrangements made by the military and the school."

The next part of the passage reads, "His Excellency Tang Rong is in favor of the self-destruction plan, and His Excellency Tang Rong believes that Tang Bai would have chosen the self-destruction plan if Tang Bai could have made his own choices. His Excellency Tang Rong said not to dictate anyone's life and that children should be allowed to make their own choices."

The principal raised his head and looked at Tang Bai, who was smiling brightly on the screen, and in the middle of the day, he let out a very, very soft sigh of relief.

His Excellency Tang Rong still guessed wrong.

Instead of choosing any of the thirteen plans, this kid came up with a brand new one.

A program that can save everyone.

What does everyone call this kid?

Looks like ..... .omega light?

Tang Bai stood in the doorway of the mech training room and watched Xie Ruhang and Teng Man go through their bonding training. At this time, Teng Man's mech was limited by the size of the space in the mech training room, and did not turn into its maximum size.

Getting the Mech's ideas down to the Mechanical Teng Man in time without causing time lag is the focus of the current grind training.

Tang Bai establishes a neural link between the mechanical Teng Man and the driving helmet, so that any ideas in Xie Ruhang's mind can be communicated to the mechanical Teng Man and executed in a timely manner.

Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai smiling at him through the display in the cockpit, "How are you guys getting along?"

Xie Ruhang controlled the mecha and extended his mechanical arm surrounded by emerald green Teng Man to Tang Bai, he stopped his mechanical palm in front of Tang Bai and flexibly maneuvered his palm to make a hooking finger motion to Tang Bai, "Come up."

Tang Bai didn't come up first, poking his turquoise Teng Man finger in novelty.

Not long ago, Teng Man had just broken out of his shell, and Teng Man was slim enough to wrap around his fingertips, but now his size has been reversed, and Tang Bai can only wrap his arms around this "finger" that has been reconstructed from the mechanical Teng Man.

This is what adults often say to their juniors when they say, "You've grown up so much in the blink of an eye".

Old father Tang Bai smiled with relief.

Xie Ruhang in the Teng Man mech is enjoying a giant's view at the moment, and Tang Bai in the display looks small, like a delicate hand puppet.

Tang Bai touched the giant "finger" with his tiny fingertips, and then, not knowing what came to his mind, he bent his eyes and smiled a sweet smile, and then obediently climbed up to the giant mechanical palm, and sat on his knees on the palm of the mechanical Teng Man's hand, curiously caressing the leaves that greeted him.

The image was so adorable that the corners of Xie Ruhang's lips rose wildly, and a feeling of pleasure arose in his heart as he held Tang Bai in the palm of his hand.

I can't imagine that Teng Man has this kind of role, all he has learned before is ......

Just as Xie Ruhang was lost in his memories, countless mechanical Teng Man suddenly emerged from the hand mechs, first instantly weaving a semi-circular cover, lightning-like inverted to cover Tang Bai, and then in a flowing manner, tied and pulled Tang Bai's limbs apart with thin and tough branches.

Tang Bai : "......?"
