Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 211 The Kingdom of Mechanics
It's true that you should travel more. Just by crossing a continent, the cultures and scenery of different countries can be so different.

If I hadn't personally visited Tengger, I would never have known... how magnificent it is.

Unlike Loren.

Gears and pipes are everywhere here.

Thick pipes transport steam, while thin pipes flow a pure energy called "pure liquid".

You can even see sophisticated robots on the streets serving customers.

If my first stop in this world were Tengge.

Perhaps, I might think that this is the dominant color of the world?

It's truly like the blind men and the elephant; having only crossed two continents, they have no idea how magnificent the whole world is.

"A nation of mechanics..."

Mechanics can be considered a semi-combat profession, creating unique mechanical artifacts using various ingenious mechanical parts, which is very different from professions like mages and warriors.

Theoretically speaking, even high-level mechanical creations can be controlled by low-level mechanics.

This also makes the mechanic's combat strength very unpredictable.

Some mechanics, even at low levels, still possess the ability to create powerful mechanical artifacts that allow them to fight beyond their level.

Even some high-level mechanics may not be able to defeat warriors or mages of lower levels if they lose their mechanical creations.

"Is it in that direction...?"

hum-

The space fluctuated, and Lu Cang, who was on the street a second ago, appeared in a dark room the next second.

And in front of Lu Cang.

This is an unassuming middle-aged man repairing a clock.

"Guest, our appointments for this month are fully booked."

"If you have valuable items that you would like to schedule for repair, you may have to wait until next month."

He raised his head.

Upon seeing that the visitor was a child, a slightly puzzled expression appeared on his face.

However, Lu Cang's face showed no trace of a child's naivety.

Lu Cang did not change his appearance, also to confirm whether the other party recognized him.

Since it's just a rehearsal, there's no need to hide our identities.

Instead, he spoke in a somber tone, "Oh? You mean the Secret Sand Islands will have another month?"

"Mokri".

Upon hearing Lu Cang utter that name, Mokeri stopped what he was doing.

"Guest, you look quite young. May I ask where you heard this title?"

Swah——

Lu Cang did not answer directly, but their positions had already changed.

This is a dark dungeon.

It's unclear who left it here, but Lu Cang's senses detected it, so he simply took it and used it.

"you……"

I sensed the fluctuations in space and the changes in the scene.

Mokeri's pupils contracted slightly.

"who are you?"

At this moment, he had gradually lost the composure he had just displayed.

"Who I am is not important, what is important is... what you really want to do."

Lu Cang raised his right hand.

A projection appeared before him; it was a golden scroll with a prophecy about the end of the world written on it.

"You wrote this prophecy, didn't you?"

"How did you find it...?"

"Wait, how did you know I made this?"

They hadn't left any information about themselves, and they had hidden themselves so well in a country far from Loren.

Why was it discovered so suddenly?
Why were they targeted?
But at this moment, asking these questions doesn't seem to make much sense...

We must subdue the person in front of us first before discussing anything else!
Swish!
His right arm instantly turned pitch black!

Countless parts instantly coalesced on the arm!
"Mechanical Armor - Killer Type VI"

boom!
However, he still hasn't moved!

But then a spear formed from solidified ice pierced through!
boom!
It instantly pierced through his entire mechanical arm, penetrating the wall behind him and creating a crater filled with frozen ice!

Snapped--

Lu Cang hovered in mid-air, holding the other person by the neck with one hand.

"Mokri"

"Level 5 Mechanic, Level 1 Doomsday Prophet"

"It foretold the end of the continent of Ruilen and led to the disaster that befell Ruilen."

"Weapons: Mechanical arms—Phantom Killer VI, Mighty VI… Floating cannons, magnetic energy tower base, light burst tower base…"

There are quite a few types of machinery.

Lu Cang's eyes turned cold as he looked behind the other person.

Swah——

All he saw was a black mist spreading out like black sand, enveloping him.

"Microscopic mechanical insect"

This mechanical insect can burrow directly into the enemy's body and cause damage from within.

call!
Lu Cang only had to think for a moment, and flames immediately ignited around him.

The flames completely enveloped the two people.

In just a moment, all those mechanical insects were burned to ashes, leaving not a single one behind.

"I advise you not to try any more tricks."

Lu Cang tightened his grip on his neck slightly.

His eyes bulged out, and his body writhed in pain.

"What...what do you want to know?"

"I want to know, how did you create this disaster?"

"Did you know from the beginning that Roya and Samu would come?"

Lu Cang's voice was icy.

To probe.

The difference between a level 5 mechanic and a level 8 job changer is simply too great.

Normally, he shouldn't have the ability to access such energy.

"I... I don't know who those two people you're talking about are."

"Then why did you predict that the continent of Ruilen would be destroyed on April 1st?"

"You're not going to tell me that your prophecy was just made up, are you?"

"Fear of Evil (Level 5) (LV: 401)"

The intense mental pressure instilled in him a deep-seated fear that ran deep in his very soul.

Lu Cang's mastery of soul magic, death magic, and mental magic has now reached the level of a grandmaster.

"Yes, it is the King!"

"He's the one who made me switch to the Doomsday Prophet!"

"He told me that he would orchestrate the destruction on that day! And all I had to do was fulfill the corresponding prophecy!"

"You don't need to worry about anything else!"

Lu Cang looked at the other person's mental fluctuations, which were filled with panic and a strong desire to survive.

But what he said was true.

"king?"

Why did the king make you a doomsday prophet?

He shook his head wildly.

"I don't know! I don't know!"

Lu Cang snorted coldly: "Think carefully about what else you need to explain. If you don't explain clearly..."

"You can keep your life."

His face, which was clearly that of a child, was now incredibly gloomy.

It's terrifying...

"I...I should still have some!"

After that, Lu Cang interrogated him for about half an hour and got a complete understanding of the situation.

The advancement of a mechanic requires a lot of resources, but the kingdom's resources are limited.

In order to advance to level 5 Mechanic, he agreed to some conditions from the king, one of which was to become a Doomsday Prophet.

To foretell the coming end of the world, as requested by the king.

After the doomsday prophecy.

The place where the end of the world is predicted will become a special point of destiny, where various destructive events will gradually converge.

This profession is truly bizarre and frightening.

A mere prophecy could directly bring about a devastating disaster...

However, if the prophecy is not fulfilled after being made, the person will forever lose the opportunity to advance to a Level 2 Doomsday Prophet.

As for why the king prophesied the disaster of Loren...

How does he plan to carry it out?

These matters are no longer related to Mokeri...

He was already struggling to advance to level 5 mechanic, but now he's using a part-time job to earn the chance to do so.

And they will receive the king's strong support.

It's a sure-fire, risk-free deal.

However, after being promoted to level 5 mechanic, he gradually became afraid, afraid of the disasters that his profession would bring, but he had no way to talk to others about it.

He then decided to change his name and hide in the bustling city, disguising himself as an ordinary repairman.

They want to wait until the prophesied date has passed before returning to a normal life.

Indeed, we can't get any meaningful information from him. It seems that the instigator of this matter is still the King of Tenge.

boom!
Lu Cang exerted a slight force with one hand.

The ice shattered!

In an instant, the person was blown into countless tiny pieces of flesh.

Only the head was relatively intact.

"Why...why...I clearly confessed everything..."

Lu Cang casually held all of his storage items in his hand and scanned them with his senses.

He did not answer his question.

It vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

The storage bag contained many good items; these Type VI machines all represented the work of a Level 6 mechanic.

The naming of mechanical creations today.

Their model numbers are determined by the manufacturer's level.

Models I through VIII correspond to creations made by mechanics of levels 1 through 8, but level 9 does not have a specific model designation.

Mechanical creations of that caliber seem to be directly referred to as "perfect" mechanical creations. "The King of Tenge should be a level 6 mechanic..."

About a hundred years ago.

A level 7 mechanic visited Tengge and left behind many valuable level 7 mechanical creations.

In this nation dominated by mechanics, these level 7 mechanical creations became Tengger's trump card.

This also gave Tengger the strength to sweep across other countries.

In just a few decades, Tenge swept across the other kingdoms on this continent that had level 6 job changers, completing the unification of the entire continent.

Today, on this continent called Tenge, there is only one kingdom.

That was the Kingdom of Tenge.

Swah——

Lu Cang's location flickered and changed repeatedly. In this mechanical kingdom, there were no fancy restrictions.

Instead, there is a gate with an ingenious structure.

In addition, facial recognition, fingerprint verification, and iris scanning are also available.

The technological level of this world is not inferior to that of my previous life...

However, because of the existence of magic, rituals, and combat skills, many countries may not necessarily focus on developing technology.

Technological advancement is indeed a powerful direction.

But... there are so many directions in this world that can be strengthened, we really don't lack this one.

Lu Cang skipped the verification process.

They still used spatial magic to teleport directly into other people's palaces, even though these seemingly sturdy doors had high defensive capabilities.

But in reality, it can't stop spatial abilities from passing right through.

Inside the palace, guards patrolled everywhere, their hands wielding light blades and rotary machine guns, their eyes appearing to be detectors capable of seeing through cloaked forms.

Lu Cang casually killed two of them and touched their bodies.

"Royal Guard Robot"

Rank: 4

"Weapons equipped: Light Blade, Rapid-Fire Machine Gun, Blazing Eyes..."

Features include: boost acceleration, translation, joke telling, stealth detection, identity recognition...

"Equipped with combat knowledge: Light Blade Slash, Weakness Detection, Basic Evasion..."

This robot is actually a Tier 4 robot.

That's roughly equivalent to the combat power of an ordinary Tier 4 adventurer.

Lu Cang scanned the entire palace with his senses and found them everywhere.

It's amazing that they can mass-produce this kind of thing.

Mechanics are really something else.

The palaces of Loren are spacious, consisting of magnificent palaces and a continuous complex of palaces.

There is even a small forest within the palace grounds.

Meanwhile, on Tengge's side...

Rather than calling it a palace, Lu Cang felt it was more like the BOSS's lair...

A colossal, 999-story super-massive building.

The outermost layer is a black wall, from which you need to pass an identity check to enter.

Once inside, there were all sorts of light portals everywhere.

The light gate will scan a person's identity.

If the identity is not verified, an alarm will sound immediately, and a robotic guard will appear to arrest the person.

Lu Cang felt.

It doesn't resemble a royal palace at all.

When I fight the boss myself, the final lair will probably be a building like this...

Swish Swish Swish Swish——

Lu Cang shimmered layer by layer, and some of the special layers contained novel things that made Lu Cang stop and linger.

A huge, dark, confined space.

There are only a few restricted areas in the entire lair, and outside there are guards dressed in black patrolling and guarding.

He looks like a mini-boss.

I have this feeling, am I in the Demon King's castle?
Swah——

Lu Cang appeared directly inside this black, confined space.

This place is actually a server room.

Lu Cang touched it with his hand...

"Tengge Main Information Server"

"It manages the information entry of all Tengge members, the registration of robot identities, and has an extremely high level of encryption."

"It even has servers."

"And there's not a single computer or phone in sight..."

However, the technology tree in this world is bizarre.

For example, the concept of radio waves doesn't exist in this world; it seems as if they simply don't exist.

"Creator: Ziroba - Chief Mechanic of Tengger"

This person should also be a level 6 mechanic.

Lu Cang had just killed Mokeri and left behind a storage bag, in which he touched all the mechanical artifacts.

Some of these points point to Chiroba, while others point to the king, Tengai.

Lu Cang touched the server.

At the same time, they began to crack it.

Energy signals, mechanical structures... the decryption level is 7, and requires expertise in mechanics, informatics, energy, and signal processing...

These are all pieces of knowledge that Loren did not possess.

No wonder Loren has no mechanics; without the knowledge in this area, it's indeed impossible to become a mechanic.

With the knowledge we have now, it seems impossible to crack it directly.

Nothing more...

Swah——

With another movement, Lu Cang arrived at a room filled with culture tanks.

"Mechanical heart, scanning eyes, alloy powered jaw."

"Is this cyberpunk?"

The room was filled with things that resembled prosthetics or similar devices.

That really is eye-opening.

If this were the first episode, it would be hard to imagine where I'd ended up; I might even think I was in Night City.

Lu Cang casually broke a culture jar.

The mechanical heart was removed, and upon touching it, its function and installation method became clear.

Immediately afterwards, swallow a pill to reduce the pain.

puff--

He reached out and grabbed his own heart.

Then, he carefully manipulated the mechanical heart's blood vessels to reconnect it to his own body.

Soon, the physical body regenerated, but the heart did not regenerate.

A mechanical heart replaced his own.

boom!
buzzing-

Lu Cang felt his blood begin to pump faster.

Oh!
I felt the power surging up!
But... not many.

Furthermore, due to the heart transplant, some combat techniques are no longer usable...

puff--

Lu Cang opened his chest again, pulled out the mechanical heart, and threw it to the ground.

That's all there is to it... garbage.

His physical body healed almost instantly, and a new heart grew back inside Lu Cang's body. Now, Lu Cang no longer cared about the local damage to his body.

Even the brain can recover in an instant.

Missing a heart or a kidney is nothing to worry about.

Swish!
Go up to the 666th floor.

"There really is a Gundam?"

"That's true. It makes more sense for mechanics to have mechs than for servers to exist."

Upon closer reflection, wouldn't the advanced form of a mechanic be a full-body mechanical suit, which would be equivalent to fighting in a mech?
"who!"

boom!
Upon hearing the exclamation, the several people piloting the enormous mechs, each roughly ten stories tall in its normal state, turned around.

But then I saw a little child.

"child?"

"This is a restricted area for experiments, how did you get in!"

"This is too suspicious! Even if he's a child, we can't let him leave here alive!"

The lead black mech roared in anger!

boom!
In an instant, it accelerated and arrived in front of Lu Cang!
The black giant blade slashed down squarely at Lu Cang!

"Killing even children... that's too cruel."

That makes sense, though. Imagine if you set up a heavily guarded and restricted area, and a mysterious child suddenly appeared.

I'm afraid I'll just find the other person incredibly suspicious.

They would never treat him like a normal child.

boom!
The giant blade unleashed a scorching shockwave as it fell towards Lu Cang, but Lu Cang appeared behind the mecha at an even faster speed.

"Spatial Vibration (Tier 5) x Demon Tempering Refinement Technique - Fifth Form: Extreme Combo Strike"

boom!
It was just a fleeting moment when they met.

The black mech in front of them instantly disintegrated, and the pilot inside was turned into pieces of flesh.

Lu Cang glanced back again!
boom!
The space exploded violently, tearing apart the space like a fault line!
In an instant, all ten-plus mechs shattered and shattered, leaving not a single one intact.

"That's fine then..."

He looks handsome, but his actual combat ability is quite average.

Lu Cang kept his hands in his pockets and never took them out.

Swish!
His figure flashed again.

Lu Cang then arrived at the top floor of the 999th floor.

Why does the king have to live on the top floor? Doesn't he get tired climbing such a high building? Even taking an elevator would take quite a while.

With his hands in his pockets, Lu Cang appeared directly in the king's spacious room.

He stood casually in front of the king.

The external restrictions, the limitations of the light gate, and the energy barrier that covered the entire room did not trigger any alarms or alerts.

"Who are you!"

Lu Cang said calmly, "If everyone has to ask this question, I think I'll be exhausted from answering it all the time."

"I just want to know about your involvement in having Morkley predict the end of Loren."
