Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

After Gao Lian finished his shout, he sat down and said, "Let's have a small bite today and try some special dishes. We'll leave the main course for tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the canteen's special waiter brought the dishes.

The first dish is the Four Happiness Meatballs.

Speaking of which, the quality of this meal was indeed good. In addition to the classic meatball dish, there were three hot dishes, a fish soup, and the staple foods were fried rice and dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

When Liu Ke looked at the dishes, he couldn't help but feel hungry, his appetite increased drastically, and his mouth started to water.

Come to think of it, his attitude was quite normal. After all, compared to the dishes before him, the dishes offered at Longhu Mountain a few days ago were a bit too plain.

In Longhu Mountain, the only dishes with some meat were stir-fried cowpeas and stir-fried shredded potatoes, and the staple foods were steamed buns and rice. After a few days, it felt like the fat in my stomach had been scraped off several times.

The fat and water were gone, so naturally they had to be replenished. Liu Ke looked at the dishes in front of him, swallowed his saliva several times, and then saw the "uncle with glasses" next to him let him eat first, so he stopped being "shy" and started to pick up the chopsticks in a whirlwind.

When he ate half of a four-happiness meatball in one bite and the meat with the aroma of tofu rolled in his mouth, Liu Ke suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

……

After Gao Lian, his daughter, and Liu Ke entered the Nadutong yard, a burly man in black clothes and a baseball cap came to the outside of the company yard and stopped at a cold noodle stall.

A few minutes later, the strong man picked up his portion of hot cold noodles and walked away with big strides.

When they reached a secluded and shady place, the strong man took out his cell phone and started making a call.

"Hello, is this the Master?"

Chapter 150 Ability Enhancement

As for Liu Ke, he was indeed eating with great joy. Although his eating style was not as exaggerated as Goku in Dragon Ball or Luffy in One Piece, his movements were also very fierce.

There was a table full of delicious food. With a spoon in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, he had eaten up all the food on the table in just over ten minutes and even ordered two more bowls of rice.

Is this fast? Actually, for ordinary people, it is quite fast, and I have to say it's a good appetite.

But in the alien world, it is not uncommon. Gao Lian, who had been prepared for a long time, had asked the kitchen to continue cooking.

When all the dishes on Liu Ke's table were cleared out, the next table of dishes was served.

After eating the hearty dishes such as 'Lotus Leaf Chicken', 'Sour Cabbage Vermicelli', 'Pork in Sweet and Sour Sauce', and 'Braised Pork with Green Beans', Liu Ke, who had been hungry for several days, finally felt better and his mind became clearer.

After the "fast food" was over, Liu Ke, who felt tired, went to the hotel arranged by Gao Lian with Gao Yushan to rest.

This hotel, while called a "hotel," was actually a guesthouse run by the Northeast Region, specifically for VIPs and company personnel from other regions. It wasn't far from the North China Region's "branch." After Liu Ke and the others emerged, they only walked for two or three minutes to reach their temporary accommodations.

In fact, Gao Yushan's home, that is, the Gao family's ancestral home, is near this guesthouse.

Out of the desire to accompany and accompany, she naturally chose not to go home, but went to the guesthouse with Liu Ke to rest. Of course, unlike when they were in Longhu Mountain, where they all shared a large bunk bed, now she and Liu Ke each had their own room.

After entering the room with his backpack, Liu Ke projected a temporary small clothes hanger and threw all his clothes on it. Then he went into the bathroom and pressed the shower button.

Swish!

As the square shower head on the ceiling released water at a high flow rate, the entire shower room was like a heavy rain, and Liu Ke's hair was all wet and hung on his face.

"It's so comfortable."

Feeling the hot water rushing over his body like a waterfall, most of his fatigue disappeared instantly. Liu Ke twisted his neck and sighed with relief, then projected another chair, stood it in the bathroom, and sat down while washing.

"Congratulations, your talent: [Projection] has reached Level 5, and you have gained the ability 'Projection Solidification Enhancement'."

The moment he finished projecting the chair, the Wanjie system prompt came through after a long absence. Noticing it, Liu Ke closed his eyes and entered the Wanjie system in his mind.

It is worth mentioning that although the battle of Longhu Mountain was quite fierce, the victory of 'Kinoshita Hirojuro' was not credited to him, and in the end, Liu Ke only killed one 'Thunder Smoke Cannon' Gao Ning.

At the moment Gao Ning was killed, 230 karma points were earned, which could be withdrawn twice from the system.

However, since he had been traveling these days, Liu Ke did not draw the lottery. He planned to wait until he was free in two days before drawing the lottery.

At this moment, after taking a look at his remaining causal points in his consciousness, Liu Ke entered the [Ability] interface and observed the changes in his projection ability.

Previously, when the projection ability was upgraded to Lv3, a passive skill appeared, which could greatly reduce the consumption of projection energy, making Liu Ke's combat experience much smoother.

Now, at Level 5, a new ability has been added: 'Projection Solidification Enhancement'. The explanation for this ability is quite simple: it significantly extends the duration of the projection generated.

Take the chair that Liu Ke is projecting in the shower room as an example. This kind of object, which has almost no consumption and wear, can only exist for one or two days before gaining new abilities, and it still requires Liu Ke to continuously supply Qi.

Now, after acquiring the ability to solidify projection, he could maintain it for years. If Liu Ke infused more Qi, he could perhaps even maintain it for decades.

Of course, if Liu Ke projects items such as bullets, missiles, and reactors that react and have a high level of "change", the extension ability will be weakened.

Take the Iron Battle Armor for example. With his current ability of "unlimited use of Qi", Liu Ke can directly project an Iron Battle Armor, but he needs a continuous supply of Qi to maintain its use.

But after the projection is solidified, the projected steel armor can last for a day without Liu Ke supplying Qi.

Of course, if the battle consumption is taken into account, it may only be 3 hours.

This ability is quite good, as it can greatly relieve Liu Ke's pressure when projecting large quantities of items. At least, the "busy line" headache caused by projecting too many drones and greyhounds like in Longhu Mountain will no longer occur.

This shower, thanks to the comfortable chair, allowed Liu Ke to shower for almost an hour. He was a person who liked to take a slow shower. Although it was a bit wasteful of water resources, it was one of his few hobbies.

And this 'slow bath', that is, the sweat steaming from his body, took away his fatigue.

Liu Ke waited until his body was red from the hot water before he left the shower. Looking at the underwear in the closet, he felt too lazy to wash it. Just as he was about to use his new ability to project solidification, he projected a new set of underwear and put it on.

When he sat down on the bed and sank into the mattress, it seemed as if the whole world became quiet and comfortable.

After a few minutes, Liu Ke got up with his willpower, took out a can of Arctic Ocean soda from the small freezer in the room, took a big gulp, and then, feeling the stimulation of the carbonic acid burning in his throat, lay back on the bed with the TV remote control.

Then he turned on the TV and prepared to fall asleep to the noise of the news broadcast.

……

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as Liu Ke was about to fall asleep, lost in his thoughts, there was a knock on his door. But before he could get up to open it, the door opened automatically with an electronic sound.

Although his room was broken into, Liu Ke was not surprised at all, because there were only two guests in the entire guesthouse at the moment. Who else could this person be? It was naturally Gao Yushan.

Gao Yushan's hair was slightly damp and tied into a long ponytail. It was obvious that she had just showered. After entering the room, she sat down on Liu Ke's bed very naturally and asked softly, "How was your sleep?"

When the cyborg girl asked this question, her face was slightly red, with some water droplets on the tips of her ears. She had a milky fragrance all over her body, and with her youthful ponytail, she looked extremely cute and smelled good.

If Liu Ke hadn't used the same shower gel as her before, he would probably have been addicted to its sweet fragrance.

Chapter 151 Invitation

Liu Ke, who had already propped himself up, saw Gao Yushan come in through the dark door, so he relaxed his arms and fell back on the bed.

He said in a rather old-fashioned manner, like Uncle Ge, "I'm a little tired. I didn't feel anything when I was lying on the mountain before."

"But once I lay down on this soft bed, I felt all my fatigue go away. I'm really sleepy."

As he was speaking, Liu Ke felt his eyes becoming increasingly heavy and gradually closed. He was conscious but it was purely physical fatigue.

Having said this, he closed his eyes and asked, "Why, don't you feel tired?"

After hearing this, Gao Yushan also lay down on Liu Ke's two-meter-long bed, stretched out her body, and said, "After all, I have practiced some orthodox methods, and I am full of energy."

"Of course, it's not like before."

After hearing this, Liu Ke couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinch his temple, saying, "There's no way. At present, we haven't found any materials that can fully conduct Qi, nor can we perfectly replace the meridians with prosthetics."

Before she could finish her words, Gao Yushan patted her head and interrupted her. Then, the prosthetic girl said softly, "I don't mean to blame you. Everything is fine now. I..."

"Being able to move like a normal person feels like a dream."

After hearing this, Liu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said comfortingly, "It will be better in the future..."

For some reason, this topic became more serious, causing both of them to fall silent. After a while, Gao Yushan stood up with a red face and moved towards Liu Ke.

She pursed her lips, suppressing her increasingly fast-beating heart, and said aloud: "Liu Ke...you said I..."

Gao Yushan definitely wanted to say something important, which could be seen from her gradually red cheeks.

But perhaps it was too difficult to say it out loud. Gao Yushan hesitated for a long time but could not say it out loud. Liu Ke opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing him asking questions, Gao Yushan's face turned redder. After a while, she seemed to muster up the courage again. She grabbed Liu Ke's left hand and said, "I... I just want to ask you, I..."

Looking at the flushed face, even the dumbest person would understand what the other person was trying to say, and Liu Ke's heart suddenly began to beat faster.

But this slightly ambiguous and pink state did not last for more than a few seconds before there was another knock on the door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

No matter how heated the two people in the room were, the thudding sound was like a basin of cold water, directly suppressing the flames.

Liu Ke looked up at the door, then turned to look at Gao Yushan and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

But before he could finish his words, his artificial eyes began to flash with light.

After a few breaths, his expression grew more serious, and he communicated to Gao Yushan via electronic messaging, "Something's not right. I checked the corridor camera, and there's no one outside. So where's this knocking coming from?"

Gao Yushan was originally sulking because her "state" was interrupted in an unreasonable way, but after receiving Liu Ke's message, she became nervous and stared at the door.

Just as the two men were on high alert, a man's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Liu Ke, I'm sorry to bother you. Excuse me, may I come in?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Ke and Gao Yushan looked at each other again, then shook their heads at each other and began to adjust their postures.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as the two people in the room were tidying themselves up, the door was knocked again.

And it seemed that the voice was very persistent and patient in seeing Liu Ke, so it spoke again.

"Mr. Liu Ke, may I come in?"

Liu Ke in the room, after finishing most of the tidying up, squinted his eyes, put his hand close to the wall, and projected a small [wall-penetrating radar].

The moment the radar started working, Liu Ke discovered something. There was indeed a person, or rather a strong man, standing outside the door.

What’s strange is that the radar can indeed sense that there is a person standing at the door, but the corridor camera can’t see it at all, as if this person is completely invisible.

Liu Ke frowned and started using the projection through the wall.

As he used his ability, a small dog was projected in the corridor outside the room. Its dog head stared at the location of the 'invisible man', but did not launch an attack.

After the greyhound showed up, the invisible strong man seemed to know what Liu Ke meant and made a strange movement.

In the scanning field of view provided by the radar, the person outside the door made a motion of lifting his clothes, and then he lost his invisibility and appeared.

"Now, are you relieved?"

As the words fell, the man's figure was seen in the dual perspectives provided by the corridor camera and the puppy. He was a strong man nearly two meters tall with dark purple hair.
