Poverty makes me capable of anything.

He took out a bunch of repair tools, unleashed a variety of advanced skills, and An Ran's hands seemed to become phantoms, with countless arms carrying different tools poking and prodding at the mechanical puppet.

A few minutes later, the mechanical puppet that had been completely unable to move before was successfully brainwashed.

Core directive: "An Ran is my boss, and you have to listen to An Ran in everything!"

The second instruction: "An Ran is this person."

Various kinds of information were entered.

This includes Anran's true appearance, body scan data, voice and other authentications, as well as core controller permissions, all of which reside in Anran's subspace.

Then comes the amplification spell.

After taking a deep breath, An Ran applied three more amplification spells in succession.

Lv10 advanced skill, amplification rate of 40%.

This is an incredibly powerful enhancement value; as long as there is a supply of etheric energy, it can continue to enhance indefinitely.

Let Ella be this mechanical puppet's opponent.

If you win, tonight's dinner will be mechanical golems and mechanical fish.

Ella naturally had no objections and wanted to make a good impression on Anran.

With her strength specialization, Ella's strength attribute was almost the same as Anran's at only level 57.

And so, a battle suddenly broke out.

There were no railings on the open platform. After receiving the order, the mechanical puppet that had locked onto Ella launched the first attack.

The arm, reflecting a cold light, was surrounded by an aura, much like the surrounding true energy unleashed by a martial arts player after reaching an advanced level.

Before the sound of the explosion could even reach them, the enormous fist was already hurtling towards Ella's chest.

A two-meter-tall mechanical puppet attacked Ella, who was only 1.3 meters tall. Ella involuntarily bent over, but having collected countless combat information, she remained completely calm.

dodge?

Then I won't be able to show off in front of Anran.

Therefore, this was a truly head-on battle that An Ran hadn't expected.

It fits the hardcore style of robot wars very well.

The exchange of blows was intense, and the mechanical puppet, nearly twice the height of Ella, was completely outmatched by her.

This wasn't what surprised An Ran. What surprised her was that the amplified mechanical puppet could actually hold its own against Ella for so long.

Shouldn't he have his hand broken first, then his head knocked off, and then eaten in a few bites?

Emmm...

It's not that Ella is that ferocious, but a level 60 mechanical golem is indeed no match for Ella.

But after being amplified by the power of ether...

It lasted for three minutes!

That's amazing.

A thick arm slid past Ella's back, and Ella, lunging forward, grabbed the mechanical puppet's thigh.

"Uprooting a willow tree!"

boom.

The mechanical puppet, swung around, slammed heavily to the ground, its palm as sharp as a knife. Ella's right hand swiftly slashed downwards in quick succession.

It kept buzzing.

Although his arm wasn't broken, it was no longer flexible.

And even after falling to the ground, he still tried to escape from Ella's grasp?

That's not how dreams work.

clap clap clap...

Grab the mechanical puppet's feet, swing it left and right, and the big guy is quickly stunned.

Lying on the ground, it could only twitch meaninglessly, making intermittent sounds.

“An…is my…big…”

"..."

Is it bigger or you?

Alright, you're the one for dinner!

Anran was very satisfied with the power of the ether and decided to give the hardworking Ella a little extra food, so she ordered a few more mechanical fish.

quack-

nature,

Even the largest mechanical fish couldn't withstand Ella's biting for long before being digested.

Lv58, little Ella, grow up quickly!

After finishing things here, we'll go mine some minerals. Instead of rushing to build a new underwater kingdom, we can feed Ella more.

"Let's go check on Qingling."

The work of civilizing the sea people should be implemented as soon as possible. The first step is to integrate the sea people around the world. When people are united, even mountains can be moved.

What surprised An Ran was that everything changed when she stepped back into the Silver Moon Knight's cockpit.

"Ether Power Sensing System activated!"

A pleasant notification sound rang out.

An Ran was stunned for a moment.

Before the mecha could react, her face was already covered with a delighted smile.

correct!

She finally understood why a level 90 mech, personally built by Tan, could only manage a draw against a level 80 elite monster.

Tan He is likely a Grandmaster-level expert above level 150, much stronger than the Pirate Princess.

How could his work be so rubbish?

Because Tan He is also an Ether Mechanic.

His works are inevitably related to the power of ether.

Previously, I didn't have the ability to unlock this system. After successfully changing jobs, everything fell into place. Once fully activated, this will definitely be a much stronger mech than a regular level 90 mech!

As various prompts appeared, even the interior of the cockpit underwent changes.

The surroundings seemed to transform into a deep, dark universe, and I was standing on a semi-transparent platform.

His hands and feet were guided by a purple power, allowing him to clearly see what lay ahead, while various weapons, seemingly drawn, floated beside him.

There were knives, bows, swords, spears, and even firearms.

An Ran reached out and grabbed a long spear. In an instant, a long spear flashing with purple lightning also appeared in the mecha's hand.

The overflowing energy is the kind that can frighten people from a great distance.

An Ran felt that this thrust of the spear could even pierce a hole in the ceiling.

That is power.

The brand-new control system also has its own separate panel.

This time, Anran was finally able to see the full internal condition of the mech through the newly opened interface.

A three-dimensional diagram resembling a neural network.

The flow of etheric energy, and the various nodes.

"..."

An Ran's gaze fell on a few points where, as the years went by, it seemed that a small problem had arisen.

Let's take a closer look.

This looks so familiar, isn't it the Mannstone Mine?

"what!"

She had kept one-third of the advanced knowledge she had exchanged with the Mechanicus, which she could use to fill the gap.

Thinking about it this way, is the Vatican collecting Mannite ore also for the purpose of manufacturing such mechs?

Aetheric power cannot be used directly in combat, but it's different when there's a Mannite Mine at its center.

"Anran, Anran, what's wrong?"

When Ella noticed that Anran hadn't made a sound for a long time, she asked in confusion.

"Ella, wait for me."

After saying that, An Ran jumped out of the mecha, found the damaged node, and quickly replaced it with a new Maninite ore.

Mission accomplished. It's time to test just how powerful the Silver Moon Knight is when it's at full power.

take off.

After leaving Azure City, Anran led Ella to a deserted area.

The vast sea is dotted with islands.

The life detectors searched for hundreds of miles around without finding any sea creatures. There were sea fish, though, but they were so frightened by Ella's unreasonable underwater walks that they ran as far away as possible.

The eldest sister makes her entrance, and the second sister helps clear the room—this is perfectly reasonable and makes no mistake.

Besides firearms, the bow is the most suitable weapon for long-range attacks.

Taking a deep breath, An Ran gripped the bow with her left hand and pulled the bowstring with her right. As she pulled, her breath, resembling that of a spear, quickly coalesced into an arrow.

A quick glance, then a sigh.

boom--
