Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Page 97

"Um... I've got some good stuff here."

Chen Yuan casually moved his fingers through the air a few times, as if he were manipulating an invisible interface.

"Take a look, see if it suits your tastes, father and son."

Before he finished speaking, two dazzling streams of light suddenly appeared and coalesced on the open ground inside the room.

"Buzz!"

A deep, resonant sound echoed within the stone house.

As the light faded, two sets of visually striking mechs stood prominently inside the stone house.

A set of armor as steady as a mountain, with a heavy dark gold and black tone throughout. The overall lines are rigid, the shoulder armor is thick, and the arm and leg armor are incredibly sturdy, as if they can withstand any impact.

The core reactor on its chest emitted a calm, orange-yellow light, and there was a clear slot interface on its back, seemingly designed specifically for some kind of long-handled weapon.

The other set is much lighter, with a silver-white body and a streamlined azure paint. It has flexible joints, a more maneuverable design, and a foldable wingsuit structure on the back, making it clearly adept at rushing in and dodging.

Its arms have energy channels on the outside, which shimmer with a faint light.

Ulan Aodeng's wine glass froze in mid-air, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared intently at the dark gold mecha. His instincts as a top martial artist made him instantly sense the terrifying power contained beneath the metal shell.

Ulan Maiduo's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief and shock.

“This…this is…” Old Deng’s voice was a little hoarse.

"Rock-Stone Heavy Assault Mech!"

Chen Yuan pointed to the dark gold suit, his tone tinged with pride, "This is a super alloy mecha, with a built-in micro force field shield generator and a powerful power core. It's especially suitable for you guys who like to play big, sweeping attacks and head-on assaults."

"See that interface on the back? Theoretically, you can connect your precious big gun directly to it. The mech's power assists the swing, and the energy conduction amplifies the penetration. One shot can pierce through the head of a large snake dog. Any gravity object would probably be as easy as piercing paper."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan pointed to the silver-blue suit again, "As for this suit called the Flowing Cloud High-Speed ​​Assault Mech, it has high-frequency blade arm armor, short-range plasma jets that provide explosive displacement and short-range hovering, and a top-notch sensor array, making it excellent at detecting and evading enemies."

"Perfect for someone as agile as Maido. Even if you can't win, you can instantly create distance and slowly whittle them down with the included wrist pulse gun."

Chen Yuan clapped his hands and looked at the father and daughter who were still in shock: "How about we try it? Just bind it with your biometric information, this thing recognizes its owner."

Ulan Aodeng took a deep breath, slowly put down his wine glass, walked to the Rock, and gently stroked the cold, heavy armor with his rough palm, the touch making the muscles in his arm tremble slightly.

He could feel the metal calling to his power.

"Xiao Chen...this...is too precious..."

Old Deng's voice was a little hoarse. He was not a man who had never seen the world, but the value of such a creation that was ahead of its time was immeasurable.

He heard from Boss Bai that Chen Yuan possessed technological power of a higher dimension.

Ulan Maiduo lowered her head and timidly approached the Liuyun, her eyes sparkling with longing and awe.

"Hey, tell me about this."

Chen Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "The safety of Dragon Bone Village and the fighting strength of you two are priceless. Try them on and let me see if our Dragon Bone Village's Guiyuan Physical Training Instructor, equipped with this treasure, can send a large Devouring Beast straight back to its hometown with a single shot!"

Ulan Aodeng said no more, nodded emphatically, and his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

Following Chen Yuan's simple instructions, he placed his palm on the core of the Rock's chest.

The next moment, the mecha emitted a pleasant activation sound, and the thick armor plates unfolded and receded as if they had a life of their own, revealing a cockpit that could just accommodate one person.

Soft light illuminates the interior, which conforms to the curves of the human body.

Old Deng took a deep breath and stepped into the cockpit.

"Crack... Clang, clang!"

The armor plates closed quickly and seamlessly.

In an instant, a nearly three-meter-tall, imposing dark gold steel giant stood in the room, its helmet gleaming with a sharp blue light, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the dust on the ground to tremble slightly.

The mecha moved slightly, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.

On the other side, Ulanmaido also successfully activated and equipped the Liuyun.

The silver-blue mecha suit fit her agile figure perfectly, making her look like an elegant mechanical swift.

The wingsuit flapped gently, creating a subtle airflow.

"Dad...that's amazing!"

From beneath the mask came Maido's voice, filled with surprise and a touch of nervousness.

The Rock-class mech made a gun-wielding motion; although it had no gun in its hand, its imposing presence was already astonishing.

Ulan Aodeng's deep voice boomed through the loudspeaker, filled with barely suppressed excitement and fighting spirit: "Good, good heavens, this power feels like it could shatter that boulder at the village entrance with a single punch!"

Chen Yuan crossed his arms and said, "Old Deng, how about that? I didn't fool you, did I? From now on, when you're training those kids, you can just wear this thing and see who dares to slack off!"

"You little rascal," Ulan Aodeng said with a laugh, but his tone was full of satisfaction.

After saying that, Chen Yuan looked at Maiduo's Flowing Cloud and asked, "Maiduo, are you getting used to the interface?"

"It's...it's amazing, Brother Chen!"

Maido's voice lit up with excitement, "I feel lighter, full of energy, my vision is so clear, and I can see so much data..."

"You'll get used to it. Practice more, and you'll be the fastest swordsman in Dragonbone Village—no, the fastest spearman!"

Inside the stone house, two mechs stood tall.

The cold metallic luster mingled with the warm fire, reflecting Ulan Aodeng's excited feelings. "Little Chen, my Ulan family will remember this kindness."

Chapter 134 Boss Bai's Mecha

And so, Chen Yuan went door to door delivering mechs, one by one, until he finally found Boss Bai.

At this moment, Bai Yuekui sat alone on the rooftop, his short, silvery-white hair fluttering slightly in the wind, his cool eyes gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

Her figure remained as upright as a pine tree, but upon closer inspection, one might sense a deep-seated weariness in the extremely subtle, almost imperceptible trembling of her fingertips.

Cellular deterioration accelerates aging, and even with the Angel Elixir, Boss Bai's lifespan is limited due to his injuries.

There were still many things left undone. Bai Yuekui was unwilling to die like this. She wanted to uncover the truth of this world, to end the apocalypse, and to end this disaster.

Chen Yuanfei went up to the rooftop without disturbing her immediately.

He stood just a few steps behind her, both of them looking in the same direction.

"Everything is arranged?"

Bai Yuekui did not turn around; his voice was calm and even, indicating that he already knew of Bai Yuekui's arrival.

"Yes, everyone seems to like their mechs!"

Chen Yuan smiled, walked over and sat down next to her. "So, Boss Bai, looking at this village that you've risked your life to protect, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Bai Yuekui turned his head, glancing at him with a calm expression. "Speak, what do you want? Forget about delivering the mecha; I had better ones before, and given my physical condition..."

Chen Yuan's smile faded, his expression turning serious as he looked at Bai Yuekui's seemingly unharmed body, which was actually suffering from accelerated cellular deterioration every time he used his true power.

“Boss Bai, I know you are very strong, so strong that you don’t need to rely on external things. There were better ones before, you mean the Abyss Walker, right? But that would require you to consume your life essence, which is a big price to pay.”

Bai Yuekui's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not deny it, only saying calmly, "It's just a necessary price."

"but if……"

Chen Yuan looked at her, his tone sincere, "I mean, what if there was a way to allow you to continue to possess or even surpass your current power, without having to pay that price again, and even to slowly repair the damage from the past?"

"Do you want an opportunity where you can truly unleash your full potential, without worrying about accelerated cell depletion, and fight with all your might?"

Bai Yuekui finally turned around completely and looked directly at Chen Yuan. Her gaze was sharp as a knife, as if it wanted to pierce through Chen Yuan's heart: "Chen Yuan, the things you have brought out are far beyond the understanding of this era. Just how terrifying is the technology of a higher dimension?"

"None of that matters."

Chen Yuan looked back calmly, "You just need to know that I, like you, hope that the lights on this land can continue to shine. And I, now, have flesh and blood and can live according to my own will. That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuekui fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "You're right. Living like this is enough. I hope no one can live like this."

"This is a gift I prepared for you, the Pure Candle mech. Although its combat power is not as good as the Abyss Walker, it is the best choice for your current situation." Chen Yuan directly opened the system shop and clicked to redeem.

In an instant, a gentle, pure white light, seemingly capable of washing away all pain, slowly descended.

An exquisitely elegant pure white mecha, perfectly combining a sense of power and holiness, quietly coalesced in the radiance, as if born from nothingness.

Its entire body is a flawless, holy white, adorned with ever-changing pale gold energy patterns that spread throughout the body like the meridians of the human body.

The lines retain the fluidity and grace of female mecha while also conveying an explosive sense of power.

The helmet is streamlined and shaped like a phoenix crown, and the faceplate is a dark gold curved mirror, giving it a mysterious and noble appearance.

The shoulder armor resembles outstretched wings, both light and sturdy.

At the center of the chest armor, a huge, slowly rotating, golden-blue energy core, resembling a yin-yang symbol, is most striking, surrounded by incredibly intricate bio-energy circuits.

The mech's arms and legs are fitted and long, combining protection with flexibility, while energy rings at the wrists and ankles increase stability.

Behind it, four flexible wings of light, made of pure energy and resembling phoenix tail feathers, swayed gently, scattering specks of light dust.

Overall, it doesn't look like a killing weapon; it looks more like a sacred creation with life.

"Don't be fooled by appearances. The Pure Candle bio-energy synchronized and cell-sustaining mech is specially tailored for you, Bai Yuekui."

Chen Yuan felt a pang of heartache; Boss Bai's mecha set had used up all of his remaining survival points.

Bai Yuekui's usually calm face finally showed some emotion.

She could clearly feel the energy fluctuations emanating from the mecha resonating with her own life essence, even making her dormant and tired cells begin to flutter slightly.

"The Yin-Yang pivot in the chest is the life core of the entire mecha."

Chen Yuan pointed to the Tai Chi-shaped energy core, "It can perfectly synchronize and amplify your life essence and spiritual power, making your attacks twice as powerful, while reducing consumption. Most importantly, it can continuously release a special life field. This energy field can effectively inhibit or even reverse the abnormal depletion of cells in your body, repair old injuries, and replenish vitality."

"These four energy wings, designated as the Returning Origin Wings by your Returning Origin Technique, can greatly enhance your mobility and levitation ability. They can also actively absorb and purify the surrounding Mana energy, transforming it into pure life essence to replenish you, allowing you to be virtually inexhaustible in battle."

"besides……"

Chen Yuan pointed to the flowing golden patterns on the mecha arm, "The Tracing Light Bio-Nano Coating can freely switch between the physical blade, your Tang Dao Alaya Consciousness, and the energy attack form according to your will, with power far exceeding your current weapons. The mecha itself also has extremely strong adaptive defense capabilities."

Looking into Bai Yuekui's increasingly bright eyes, Chen Yuan solemnly said, "It won't replace you; it will only become a part of your body, an extension of you. It will help you master power, instead of being devoured by it. From today onward, you can truly fight without any worries."

Bai Yuekui slowly stepped forward, extending his hands—hands that had slain countless Devouring Beasts and trembled slightly from excessive power—and gently touched the outer shell of the Pure Candle mech.

"Crack!"

The mecha emitted a soft, pleasant hum, the golden energy patterns on its surface brightened slightly, and the Yin-Yang core on its chest rotated a little faster, as if responding to her touch.
