You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 61 is fantastic; I'm gradually understanding everything.

Lu Ke took a deep breath and said in an extremely solemn tone:

"Activating the beacon will make you a key target for the Abyss forces to monitor and analyze."

"To protect the activator and the security of their plane, the system will impose the strongest confidentiality mechanism on the activator's identity. As long as you do not actively expose yourself, no one will know that you did it."

"It is said that before mechs possess the power to grab the galaxy and use it as a frisbee, actively revealing to any intelligent life in your universe that you have activated the beacon... will have serious consequences."

Li Zhe: "Wait... grabbing the Milky Way as a frisbee? Is the Milky Way you're talking about the one I understand?"

Lu Ke: "Yeah, I heard that such terrifying power is equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage monster..."

"Nascent Soul stage?!" Li Zhe's lips twitched. "Aren't we supposed to be piloting mechs? How did we get onto the topic of cultivation?"

"This is a metaphor; you might understand it this way—"

"The so-called Golden Core stage is equivalent to having a star inside your mecha."

"A Nascent Soul cultivator has the power to control an entire spiral arm of the Milky Way, while a Nascent Soul cultivator can play with an entire galaxy like a frisbee! As for the super-gods above the Nascent Soul stage... that's beyond our comprehension."

"Then those of us whose mech combat power is still hovering below 10 are the little Karami in the Qi Refining stage."

"To be honest, although my mecha's combat power is as high as 6, in the entire universe, it is only equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Refining."

Li Zhe slapped his forehead.

That's great, I'm starting to understand everything.

After much trouble, he devoured a legendary battleship from Earth.

It turns out that he had only reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, just barely touching the threshold of the "Cultivation World" in the universe!

The road ahead was long, but Li Zhe became excited instead.

I'm only a Qi Refining stage cultivator now, and I can already dismantle warships with my bare hands. Just imagine how far Dio will go in the future!
“This world is vast, far beyond our imagination,” Luke continued, “and once entangled in the abyss, the situation becomes delicate…”

"Our mechs need to be at least at the Nascent Soul level to be fearless against certain threats."

"Before this, once our identities and the activation of the beacon formed a strong connection in the minds of people in our respective worlds, they would be detected by certain high-level beings in the Abyss..."

Luke didn't continue, and the consequences were self-evident.

The Abyss will use reverse analysis to locate the universe emerging on the battlefield and launch the most direct and fatal attack.

"This is a secret we will have to bear for a long time."

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Ke's face.

"To be honest, I was the first person in our Universe 8 to activate the beacon."

"This feeling is like carrying a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment, but you can't tell anyone..."

"But it's alright, I can share this with you neighbors from other worlds here, so I won't feel too stifled."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe fell silent.

He suddenly understood why Lu Ke was chatting with him, a newcomer, so enthusiastically.

This heavy secret had weighed on him for far too long.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother," Li Zhe said sincerely.

"Hey, why bring this up?" Lu Ke waved his hand, quickly reverting to his usual carefree demeanor.

"Anyway, we mech pilots have long since disregarded life and death. It's worth it to do more for our world!"

Looking at him, Li Zhe couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

It was at this moment that a question suddenly came to his mind.

"By the way, bro, now that we're both online, can we make a trade?"

"A trade? Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke's eyes lit up.

"Brother, do you have anything good? Or do you need anything? Just say the word, I'll never hold back anything I have!"

Li Zhe pondered for a moment.

What he lacks most right now is a way to further improve his combat capabilities.

Although it has broken through the bottleneck and reached a combat power level of 4.0.

However, the monsters on the outer perimeter of the Steel Empire's 0th floor can no longer provide him with any boost to his combat power.

"Brother, I want to ask if there's a way to get through the Steel Empire's 0th floor to other types of abyssal realms?" Li Zhe asked.

"Oh? Want to go somewhere else?" Lu Ke scratched his stubble, giving him a "you've come to the right person" look.

"That's easy, I'll just give you the clues." With that, he sent a piece of intelligence directly to Li Zhe.

"You see, in certain areas of the Steel Empire, some monsters with other strange characteristics will appear."

"All you need to do is find these 'visiting' guys, kill them, and then use the 'Dimensional Key' you have to hit their spawn point to open a temporary passage to other ghost realms."

Li Zhe quickly browsed through the intelligence report while simultaneously having Xing perform a concurrent analysis.

"Commander, the intelligence has been verified, with a credibility of 98.7%." Xing's voice echoed in his mind. "Combining the intelligence with the exploration log, we can deal with an elite-level monster called 'Mechanical Crocodile' in the 'C-44 Waste Disposal Plant' area of ​​the Steel Empire. Its core possesses characteristics of other types of ghostly domains. This area is currently the most likely location to open the passage."

Having received Xing's report verification, Li Zhe nodded.

He looked at Luke's projection and expressed his gratitude: "Thanks, bro, this intelligence is very useful to me."

"It's nothing," Lu Ke waved his hand dismissively.

"But brother, I have to remind you."

"The environment and monsters in other strange realms are completely different from those in the Steel Empire."

"Take that Rotten Sea Forest for example. It's full of highly poisonous miasma and disgusting slime monsters. If your mech doesn't have the corresponding resistance and equipment, you'll just be throwing your life away if you go in."

“I understand.” Li Zhe nodded.

Although he said that, he had absolute confidence in his demonic armor.

Let alone miasma, even if you soaked it directly in aqua regia, the paint probably wouldn't come off.

"Brother, I can't accept a reward without doing anything in return. I'll remember this favor."

As Li Zhe spoke, he sent one medal to Lu Ke through the transaction window.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, brother? You're too kind!"

Lu Ke declined verbally, but his hands moved quickly, and he promptly accepted the medal.

"Since you're so understanding, brother, as your senior, I can't be stingy."

He chuckled and then sent another transaction request to Li Zhe.

Li Zhe clicked on it and saw that it was a blueprint for an armament module.

"This is a specialty of our Universe 8, the blueprints for the 'Transforming Motorcycle' weapon module. Here you go."

Luke explained, "Once this thing is built, it can not only be used as a weapon, but also transformed into a cool ground vehicle."

Li Zhe's eyes lit up as he looked at the detailed information on the blueprints.

[Rare Ranged Attack Module: Transforming Motorcycle]

[Quality: Rare (Special Product of Space No. 8)]

[Type: Long-range Armed Vehicle]

[Effect: Can transform into a high-performance vehicle, freely switching between forms between Earth and the Abyss. In armed mode, it can fire an electromagnetic cannon; in vehicle mode, its top speed can reach 400 km/h.]

[Production Materials: Energy Supplement x1L, Road Vehicle x1, Core Material x1]

"Road-based vehicle? Does that mean I need to get a car first?"

Looking at these bizarre production materials, Li Zhe felt that his understanding of the world had been refreshed once again.

The technology trees on other parallel world planets are indeed developed in all sorts of bizarre ways.

This technology, which can transform real-world objects into mecha weapons, is simply unheard of.

"Just get a car that you like," Lu Ke explained. "These things are in high demand where I'm from. If it weren't for the fact that we get along well, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."

"Thank you, bro."

Li Zhe accepted the gift and his goodwill towards this "neighbor" from another world increased greatly.

The two chatted for a while longer, exchanging interesting stories from their respective worlds.

Luke seemed to have had a very pleasant conversation with someone in a long time; once he started talking, he couldn't stop.

He reluctantly said goodbye to Li Zhe only after the system notified him of an urgent mission.

"See you at the next auction, brother!"

After saying that, Lu Ke's projection turned into a ball of light and shadow particles and disappeared into the trading hall.

Looking at the empty square, Li Zhe also chose to leave.

"Commander, a preliminary plan for the next steps has been drafted for you. Please take a look." Xing, like a caring secretary, quickly presented the draft plan.
