Ye Ling's fingers tapped on the table faster and faster, like a rapid war song.
"Energy ring! Oh, we are still missing an energy ring!" She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Although the previous parts solved most of the problems, without the energy-gathering ring to stabilize the energy output, upgrading would be like dancing in the crater of a volcano, which could explode at any time!
At the same time, Duan Yu stood in front of his father, like a pine tree in a storm.
The Duan family patriarch, a man with an air of authority without even getting angry, sat upright with a serious expression, his tone icy cold: "Ye Ling is just a junior mecha pilot. Everyone in the academy thinks she's a waste. How can you be so entangled with her?!"
"Father, Ye Ling is not what you think!" Duan Yu retorted, "She has talent, but she just lacks opportunities. You can't deny her just because of worldly views!"
"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity could there be for a loser who even Boss Sun doesn't bother to pay attention to?" The clan leader sneered, "I warn you, cut off all ties with her immediately, otherwise..."
"What else?" Duan Yu looked directly into his father's eyes without fear. "Are you going to imprison me? Like you treat the other outcasts in the family?"
The atmosphere between the father and son was tense, and the air seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, in the college laboratory, the alarm sounded shrilly and the red light flashed, as if the end of the world was coming.
Ye Ling's mecha made bursts of roars, and the energy fluctuated violently, as if it was about to explode at any time.
Technician Lin turned pale with fear and hid in the corner, trembling. "It's over, it's going to explode! I knew this girl had unrealistic ideas, and sooner or later something bad would happen!"
Ye Ling clenched her teeth, beads of sweat sliding down her forehead, but there was no trace of fear in her eyes, only a determined light.
She endured the severe pain caused by the energy backlash, and her hands danced rapidly on the operating table, trying to control the violent energy.
"Hold on! We're almost there!" Ye Ling shouted in her heart.
Suddenly, the mecha's energy fluctuations became more intense. With a loud bang, all the lights in the laboratory went out...
"Ye Ling!" Duan Yu pushed his father away and rushed out desperately, with only one thought in his mind: something must have happened to her!
Duan Yu pushed his father away violently. At this moment, the family's reputation and the responsibility of the heir were not as important as Ye Ling's safety.
He rushed into the laboratory, where thick smoke and a pungent burnt smell filled the air.
The alarm was still screaming hysterically and the red light was flashing, just like a scene from a doomsday movie.
"Ye Ling!" Duan Yu's heart suddenly sank. He saw Ye Ling slumped in front of the operating table, his face pale and a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The modified mecha was emitting black smoke and flashing arcs of electricity, looking like it was about to explode at any time.
He rushed to Ye Ling in two steps and held her hand. It was cold to the touch, which made him feel distressed.
"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?" Duan Yu's voice trembled slightly. His usual indifference had long since disappeared, replaced by full of worry.
Ye Ling shook her head weakly and said through gritted teeth, "I'm fine...it's just the energy backlash...a bit severe..."
Without saying a word, Duan Yu slowly transferred his power into Ye Ling's body. A warm energy flowed into her meridians, helping her resist the violent energy impact.
Ye Ling felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the pain was relieved a lot. She looked up at Duan Yu, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Fool, you're still trying to be brave at this time!" Duan Yu scolded him distressedly, "Most people would have pissed themselves in fear in such a situation, but you're still stubbornly holding on!"
Ye Ling gave a bitter smile: "It has come to this point, wouldn't it be a big loss to give up? Besides, who am I? Let's learn about the good-for-nothing's counterattack!"
Duan Yu looked at Ye Ling's stubborn eyes, feeling both distressed and admired.
He knew that Ye Ling had a spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones, which was one of the reasons why he liked her.
"Crazy girl..." Duan Yu shook his head helplessly, but he was more determined to transfer his strength to Ye Ling.
Technician Lin hid in the corner, poked half of his head out, and said cautiously: "Master Duan, this... this is too dangerous! Let's stop it immediately, just in case..."
"Shut up!" Duan Yu interrupted him coldly, "If you're afraid of death, get out now!"
Technician Lin shrank back in fear, not daring to say a word.
Ye Ling took a deep breath and mobilized the special energy in the core of the ancient mecha.
She closed her eyes, feeling the flow of energy, and a complex energy circuit diagram emerged in her mind.
"Believe me..." Ye Ling whispered, her fingers dancing rapidly on the operating table, "It's almost there..."
Suddenly, the energy fluctuations of the mecha intensified again, making a deafening roar!
"Not good!" Duan Yu's face changed...
A strong light burst out from the core of the mecha, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
Everything in the laboratory was shrouded in this dazzling white light, as if a small sun was born here.
Even Technician Lin, who was shivering in the corner, couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The white light faded and the smoke gradually dissipated.
The mecha that was originally flashing with arcs of electricity and looked like it was about to explode at any time now stood there quietly, with a strange luster flowing on its surface, like some ancient runes flowing.
"Did it work?" Ye Ling opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She felt that the ancient energy in the core of the mecha was perfectly integrated with the energy system of the mecha, which not only stabilized the energy output but also greatly improved the performance of the mecha.
Some originally hidden functions, such as energy shields and teleportation systems, actually began to emerge.
"This...how is this possible?!" Technician Lin widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
He had lived for most of his life, but this was the first time he had seen such an incredible way of upgrading.
This isn't just an upgrade; it's a complete transformation!
Ye Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "It seems that my luck is not too bad."
At the same time, in the Duan family mansion.
"Brother, are you helping that good-for-nothing Ye Ling again?" Bai Xiaorou said to Duan Yu's father with a look of grievance. "Look, everyone in the family is gossiping about you and her. She's almost ruining your reputation!"
The Duan family's patriarch's face turned ashen, and he slammed the table. "How can this be! This Ye Ling is simply a disaster! Someone, call Duan Yu over here!"
On Ye Ling's side, although she temporarily stabilized the energy of the mecha, she knew that this was only the first step in a long journey.
There are still many parts that need to be upgraded, such as weapon systems, power systems, etc.
"Next comes the real challenge..." Ye Ling muttered to himself, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
