Chapter 6: Core Brand



When Su Nian brought the xc-99 back, Uncle Liang was already waiting at the door of the cabin.

He glanced at the pretty girl next to Su Nian and frowned. He said nothing, but pursed his lips and opened the door: "Ahem... It's so cold outside, come in and have some fish soup."

Su Nian brought xc-99 into the house with a guilty conscience, scratched his head and sat down at the dining table.

Uncle Liang prepared a bowl of fish soup and placed it on the table. Su Nian picked up a bowl and drank it silently. She wanted to say something, but she felt that the atmosphere was not right. She glanced at the fish soup and swallowed her saliva. She wanted to drink it but did not dare to.

Uncle Liang put down the soup spoon, looked at Su Nian and XC-99, and said with a trembling mouth: "Did you get a machine from the warehouse? Are you going to continue racing?"

"Oh, Uncle Liang, I can't hide anything from you." Su Nian said with a wry smile, "It's my idea to continue racing."

He felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter, and it was impossible to hide it, so he might as well speak out.

Uncle Liang sat there in silence and sighed, "Ten minutes ago you told me that you didn't want to race and wanted to go back to the furnace. Why did you change your mind again? Are you a chameleon?"

"Hey, isn't this a girl who happened to be in the warehouse and saw a mecha?"

"She?" Uncle Liang pointed at xc-99.

xc-99 subconsciously put his hands on his head and shrank his head.

"Yes, xc-99 is very good. I think she has the potential to compete with Knox, and even the big competition after Knox."

xc-99 was flattered and her pretty face blushed. She didn't expect that Su Nian, who had such great skills, would give her such a high evaluation. Ever since Su Nian used the launch and drift skills, she has regarded Su Nian as a god-like existence.

"Excellent?!" Uncle Liang's chest rose and fell violently. He looked up suddenly, his eyes showing anger and helplessness: "You can choose a good mecha girl from Tengyue Club, but the XC-99 is not good enough!"

"Why?" Su Nian was stunned.

"Didn't you see the debut record of the XC-99? She could barely turn. You want to drive a machine that has difficulty turning to participate in Knox? And then hit a curve? Are you tired of living?"

It was the first time that Su Nian saw Uncle Liang so angry.

The cabin was silent, with only the sound of the strong wind hitting the windows.

The old man's usually hunched back was now straightened, and his eyes seemed to be filled with fire. Su Nian didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw other emotions in the old man's eyes, regret, helplessness, sadness... These complex emotions gathered together, combining to convey a message that he could not understand.

"I know the XC-99's steering is not good." Su Nian looked at the girl next to him who lowered her head because of the criticism, and explained: "But this defect can be completely overcome, and I still have a day to modify her. Uncle Liang, believe me, before Knox, I will make her a pilot who can go on the regular track, and I will not fall behind in your refitting field."

Uncle Liang looked at Su Nian silently. Perhaps it was because Su Nian's eyes were too firm, or perhaps it was because Uncle Liang was too old and no longer had the energy to argue with the young man. He sat back in his seat dejectedly, looking out the window and sneering: "You were kicked out of the Tengyue Club, right? Your driving license was also revoked, right? If you want to participate in Knox, you have to take the test again. Can you pass the test with an XC-99 with extremely poor steering performance?"

"I can." These two short words are full of Su Nian's absolute confidence.

According to his plan, as long as he could upgrade the steering attribute of the xc-99 to 40 before the competition, he would be almost certain to get the driving qualification.

"Okay, then go and take the exam! Let me see how you do!" Uncle Liang collected all the fish soup on the table, and his voice floated from the kitchen: "Don't worry about my re-melting field. If I inherit the re-melting field to a short-lived person like you, it will be over!"

"Uncle Liang, I haven't finished the fish soup yet..."

"Get lost!"

···

Su Nian didn't feel comfortable going back to Uncle Liang's cabin to sleep tonight.

He stayed in the warehouse with the XC-99. When the XC-99 unfolded its body, he lay in the driver's seat.

"I'm sorry, Master, for making you get scolded." xc-99 lowered his eyes, looking frustrated.

"It's okay. Uncle Liang is actually a very nice person." Su Nian put his hands behind his head and sighed:

"Racing is a dangerous sport after all. He was afraid that something might happen to me, and he didn't understand my level."

"Is he your father?"

"No." Su Nian shook his head: "But in this world, he is my only relative, so I respect him very much."

xc-99Wai 깊 tilted her head. She didn't understand why Su Nian would say "놇 this world".

It's as if he is not from this world.

"Anyway, don't take what he said to heart."

"No, he's telling the truth." XC-99 twitched his lips and hugged his knees: "My steering is bad. If it weren't for the master, I would never dare to say that I want to go on the track and win the race. It's too luxurious for me."

Su Nian looked at the roof without saying anything. He was thinking about how to improve the attribute values ​​of xc-99.

When his eyes fall on xc-99 and focus his attention, the virtual attribute panel will appear.

At the same time, each attribute on the panel has detailed point-adding instructions.

For example, for an attribute like "Corner" on the xc-99 that is less than 10, each MP point can increase the attribute by one point, but for an attribute that reaches 50 or more, 5 MP points are required to increase the attribute by one point, and an attribute that reaches 90 or more requires 10 MP points to increase the attribute by one point.

If you win the first place in the training match, you will get 15 MP points, the second place will get 10 points, and the third place will only get 5 points.

If you participate in a regular competition, your MP points will be doubled. The first place will be awarded 30 MP points, and the same goes for the others.

That is to say, before the competition, Knox had to take the XC-99 to participate in at least two training matches and win first place in both matches. This way, he could get 30 MP points, plus the cornering attribute, which was 37 points. The remaining points could be obtained through training and modification.

After all, the mecha girls in this world are living creatures, so targeted training can improve their attribute values.

It’s just that each mecha girl’s talent has an upper limit, and this improvement cannot be endless.

Therefore, most racers still rely on purchasing modules and installing them on the mecha girls to adjust the attributes of the mecha girls in order to cope with different types of rallies.

"Let's go to the module store tomorrow, and then ask Uncle Liang where the nearest training match is in Jiangcheng."

Su Nian was not worried about not having any competitions to participate in.

Because before the official competition begins, many training matches will be held in various places.

Some are organized by private racers, and some are led by clubs.

He just needs to choose a track suitable for xc-99 and take advantage of the speed of xc-99, and it shouldn't be a problem to get first place.

"Now, Master, let's sign the contract."

Su Nian came to his senses and found that xc-99 had already come in front of him without him knowing when.

Those deep blue eyes looked at him without blinking, and even in the darkness they seemed to emit a hazy glow.

"Okay, sign the contract, and you will be my robot girl from now on."

Su Nian was very upset about this matter, as he had not yet forgotten the humiliation that Jade-786 had brought upon him.

The world's top racing driver was actually mocked by a robot girl with terrible attributes from another world for not being able to race? !

Days later, he let Yu-786 and Zhang Kai know what it means to be a track emperor!

xc-99 squinted his eyes, chuckled, and took out his own artificial intelligence core.

"Master, just put a drop of blood on it."

Su Nian looked at the demon-like intelligent core of the XC-99 with confusion on his face.

"I remember that the contract was just a verbal promise to establish a mental imprint. Why do you want to shed blood? Take out the omnic core..."

"The mind branding contract can be lifted, and then the mecha girl can choose another racer." XC-99 held the omnic core in front of Su Nian, as if holding her own heart: "But the core branding cannot be lifted, so I can only be the master's mecha girl."

Staring at the XC-99 that offered its heart to him, Su Nian bit his finger without hesitation, a drop of blood hanging on the tip of his finger: "Let me make it clear first, I'm very poor and don't have the money to buy you a module for the time being. If you follow me, you will have to go through hard training. When other mecha girls use modules, you may have nothing."

"I'm not afraid of hardship, nor am I afraid of not having modules." XC-99 looked determined, stood on tiptoe, and took the initiative to touch the intelligent core with the blood on Su Nian's fingertips that had not yet dripped, and said with great momentum: "Only weak mecha girls need the assistance of modules!"

After the intelligent mechanical core absorbed Su Nian's blood, the light on it turned into a light pink.

xc-99 happily took back the intelligent core, and the contract was thus fulfilled.

Anyway, she has planned to stay with Su Nian. Unless Su Nian sends her back to school, she will always be Su Nian's assistant.

It takes a lot of courage for a girl to entrust her life to something like this.

But xc-99 felt that, except Su Nian, no one would accept her flaws, and no one could lead her around the corner - the only one who could control her was Su Nian!

"It feels weird to always call you xc-99. I need to give you a different name."

Su Nian stroked his chin as if thinking about something, while xc-99 looked at Su Nian expectantly.

The racing driver names the girl of the robot. This is a very sacred ceremony, and it also shows the racing driver's importance to the girl of the robot.

"Why don't you just call me Xingchen?"

Su Nian took the first letters of 깊xc, and thought of the star-like body of xc-99, so he came up with the name 놋깊.

At this moment, Xingchen's eyes widened.

This name is also the name of her bloodline. The mecha girls of the Xingchen family are all known for their speed.

But at this moment, the name Su Nian gave her seemed to represent the entire family.

This is great trust and expectation!

"Master, I won't let you down!" Xingchen's eyes were filled with tears and he bowed deeply to Su Nian.

Su Nian was a little bit puzzled. Wasn't he just picking a name?

Why is Xingchen so grand and even a little bit passionate? !

···

At the same time, back to the small wooden house in the center of the furnace.

Although it was already late at night, Uncle Liang had no intention of going to bed.

He leaned against the head of the bed, holding a photo in his hand, tears glistening in his eyes.

The photo shows a family. The son and mother are both wearing helmets, with the mother next to them smiling like a flower, and everyone is making a scissors hand gesture.

Uncle Liang stroked the young man in the photo, his lips trembling and his voice choked with sobs:

"Were you so stubborn back then? Did you have to participate in the competition?"

After staring at the photo for a long time and smoking two cigarettes, Uncle Liang carefully put the photo back into the drawer of the bedside table.

"Both of them are brats! Cough cough cough"

He covered his chest and took a deep breath, then took out a savings card from the drawer and stuffed it into his coat, then turned off the lights and went to bed.
