Chapter 116 Upgrade

In the cockpit, Yao Shi Wan saw everyone in the team at a glance and immediately became depressed and said:

"I thought I was second only to Li Yi, but it turns out I'm just better than you guys."

Tan Haoran calmed down now and said with a smile: "Pharmacist Wan, you can't do it. You have only been doing it a little longer than me."

The pharmacist said politely, "It's okay if it's not possible. I accept it. I am quite satisfied with this growth and change."

That's true. Although she hasn't become a mid-level mecha master yet, the growth of her divine mecha has already surpassed most of the mid-level evolvers in the neighboring team.

At this moment, the Fire Luan Mecha was seen walking out step by step from the silver-white divine energy pool.

The two wings were slightly spread out and folded on the back, with divinity emanating from them and hazy rays of light illuminating the half-biological, half-steel body that looked like a firebird, with its outer armor becoming increasingly brighter and more dazzling.

It is 57 meters tall, with a slightly slender torso covered with huge muscle fibers, and long and powerful arms with sharp glazed claws extending from the fingertips.

The head and face became more upright and dignified, with both the charm of a human face and the strength of a phoenix face. An aura of advanced mecha was exuding.

As everyone looked at it carefully, they felt that the changes in the Fire Luan Mecha were more and more unusual.

Cai Xiaodong couldn't help but ask, "Why does it feel like Yao Shiwan's divine mecha has changed its skin?"

Tan Haoran was also surprised:

"Could it be that Yao Shiwan's Fire Phoenix mecha was also originally dropped from a high-level divine mecha?"

On the other side, Chen Qiongzhi took a look and said:

"It should be a matter of compatibility. Yao Shiwan and the Fire Phoenix mecha are highly compatible, high enough to produce a qualitative change."

"So, even though she didn't stay as long as you, she was able to gain higher divine energy with the same amount of time, and her overall growth was much higher than yours."

"Of course, it's a pity that Yaoshi Wan came out after staying for such a short time. If she had stayed a little longer, she would have been able to reach the 60-meter threshold."

Yao Shiwan said: "I also wanted to grit my teeth and hold on for a while, but at that time, I chose to eject without realizing it."

Chen Qiongzhi nodded slightly: "Okay, next time when your strength improves, come here to level up again. Anyway, you will have another chance in the future."

Pharmacist Wan said, "I'm afraid that by the time we have improved enough, the divine energy in the upgrade pool will have been used up, and we will have to queue up again to open it."

Chen Qiongzhi pondered and said:

"It all depends on how long the gourd man's altar can function. Theoretically, as long as this altar can still function, there will be no need to worry about divine energy for the time being."

As we were talking, the time had already entered the 17th minute.

At this time, Zhang Xuqiang's Ice Wheel Mecha and Zheng Xueyuan's Bi-Wing Mecha also walked out of the pool one after another.

Among them, the height of the Ice Wheel Mecha increased to 55 meters, jumping from E-level to C-level, which is an astonishing increase.

As he took a step forward, cold air spread out and frost fell to the ground out of thin air, which was quite eye-catching.

Cai Xiaodong was moved by what he saw: "Zhang Xuqiang has been holding back for so long, and now he can finally get some relief."

Although Zhang Xuqiang has only condensed eight divine genes so far, his increase is higher than that of Tan Haoran who has nine divine genes, and the final height is also slightly lower. This shows that Zhang Xuqiang's personal willpower is still quite outstanding.

Tan Haoran didn't say much. He and Zhang Xuqiang had a decent relationship and he wouldn't say anything without restraint, so he stepped forward and congratulated him.

On the other side, Zheng Xueyuan, who came out just after Zhang Xuqiang, had a double-winged mecha that grew to a height of 52 meters.

Although they are both E-class mechas, her starting height is low, and in terms of growth rate, she is almost the same as Zhang Xuqiang.

However, everyone was a little surprised that such a ruthless man like Zhang Xuqiang could hold on for so long.

How come Zheng Xueyuan could persist for so long?

In response, Zheng Xueyuan said with a smile: "It's not difficult. It was very easy at the beginning, but when it popped out at the end, I felt a little confused."

Cai Xiaodong shouted, "I understand. Zheng Xueyuan, you just have a big heart. It's too big."

Yaoshi Wan said: "I don't think so. Maybe Sister Xueyuan's divine characteristics are quite special, and the load is not that great. As for the sudden ejection, it is probably a momentary overload, and she hasn't reacted yet."

Zheng Xueyuan was speechless and said, "Hey, hey, how can you arrange teammates like this? I am obviously gifted."

As they chatted and laughed, everyone was waiting, looking forward to how high Li Yi's stock price would rise this time.

18th minute.

The brand new 60-meter Liqiong mecha left the upgrade pool and appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, the Liqiong Mecha, which originally had a yellowish-khaki color scheme, now became brighter and turned into bright yellow.

The joints all over the body also become large and round, which can support the more fierce and flexible power output of the Liqiong mecha.

Sun Duxiu said proudly: "At a height of 60 meters, it seems that besides Li Yi, I am the strongest."

No one laughed at him. After all, Sun Duxiu was indeed the coolest guy at the moment.

19th minute.

Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound on the water surface of the upgrading pool, and a 63-meter-tall giant mecha slowly rose up amid the dripping sound of divine liquid.

Everyone took a quick look and were immediately disappointed.

It turned out to be someone from the exploration group next door.

Yes, there are still one or two of them who haven't come out yet.

Cai Xiaodong said: "This person seems to be the third best expert of the neighboring exploration team, Mo Lihong, who is also a power god sequence. I didn't expect that such a mid-level evolver would only grow a little better than Sun Duxiu in the end."

Sun Duxiu was not surprised at all:

"It would be strange if the strongest group of people in our special class could not compete with the middle-level evolvers."

Yao Shiwan also nodded and said, "It's not easy to persist in the rigorous training conditions of the special class. Didn't you see that the instructor eliminated ten people from our class in the past two months? This shows that our willpower is pretty good."

As they were talking, time passed quietly again.

At the 22nd minute, the one who left the upgrade pool was still a strong man from the neighboring exploration team. He was the second best person who upgraded the divine mecha to the 64-meter level, Tian Wenfan.

Now, everyone present was filled with anticipation.

There are only two people left, one is Li Yi, the strongest genius of the new generation of Yao Chi, and the other is Fujiwara, the veteran top master of the standing team, who is only one step away from becoming an upper-level evolver.

Who will come out first?

…

In the blink of an eye, another three anxious minutes passed.

25th minute.

finally.

With a loud crash, a huge divine mecha with a height of over 66 meters jumped out of the upgrade pool, spun in the air, causing a gust of wind, and then landed lightly on the ground.

It is the Wind God sequence, the Angry Wave Mecha, which is blue and white in color, with wind patterns on the chest, and its posture is like a giant god.

From the exploration team, an unstoppable sigh suddenly came.

Alas, I still lost to the special class.

Naturally, everyone in the group was secretly delighted.

…

Next, finally in the 27th minute.

A gigantic steel mecha, 69 meters in length, slowly rose from the slightly lowered upgrading pool, and with the help of the thrusters behind it, it left the altar.

At this moment, the Pluto Mecha also presented a completely different look.

In addition to a taller and more powerful body.

The Pluto mecha's originally pure black color now has some mysterious patterns on the chest and both ends of the arm armor, as if an iceberg and a hellish prison are hidden in it.

Secondly, there is the armor layer on the body surface. From the shoulder armor, elbow armor, to the wrist armor and knee armor, the four major parts have all been sharpened from the original oval shell shape to a pointed cone shape, giving the whole body a sense of unstoppable sharpness.

Then, the proportions become more and more similar to those of a bodybuilder, with slender limbs, a neat torso, contours as if carved by a knife or an axe, and huge facial features like a human face.

And those huge, cold eyes, which were slightly narrowed into an arc and when slightly opened, shone with a cold light.

Moreover, everyone can see that it has a more or less biological feel compared to other divine mechas.

Obviously, the Pluto mecha seems to have completely shed its biological sense, and the material of the whole body gives people a cold and hard feeling like a planet.

Chen Qiongzhi looked at the Pluto mecha and said with some regret:

"It seems that you haven't even crossed the 70-meter threshold."

Inside the cockpit, Li Yi felt the surging load transmitted by the huge mecha and the unprecedented sense of power, and his feeling in his heart was quite magical.

Hearing Chen Qiongzhi say this, he was surprised and asked:

"Instructor, 70 meters, what is the threshold? Isn't the threshold for level B 100 meters?"

Chen Qiongzhi said: "It's 85 meters. After 85, we'll be at the threshold of a 100-meter-class mecha."

"As for the 50-meter-class mecha, the minimum threshold is 45 meters, followed by 55 meters, 70 meters, and 85 meters, each with a small grade."

"Although they are all C-level, their combat capabilities cannot be generalized."

"The quality of the divine radiation stimulated within it is naturally of different grades."

Li Yi nodded and said, "I see. So I was just one step away from 70 meters? It's really a pity."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chen Qiongzhi said: "You are doing very well. Even a high-level mecha master with bad luck may not be able to reach this level of tonnage. The 70-meter threshold has very high requirements, and it is usually only a high-level mecha master who can reach it."

Li Yi thought about it and said, "That's right. Instructor Ma and Instructor Liang's divine mechas didn't seem to exceed 70 meters. In our ship, I've only seen yours exceed 70 meters."

Chen Qiongzhi said:

"They are strong enough to continue upgrading their mechas, but there is no suitable upgrade pool, so they can only endure it. It would be great if we could find a B-level upgrade pool in the sixth or seventh level below."

"If you discover a B-level upgrade pool and confirm its ownership, the fleet will reward you with at least 150,000 combat merits."

"After all, there is a B-class upgrade pool. Many high-level mecha masters who are stuck in C-class mechas may be able to quickly advance to the heavenly level."

Li Yi thought:

"After we clear out the resources of this agency, should we go to level 6, instructor?"

Chen Qiongzhi was startled, then immediately realized: "You have found the entrance to the sixth level?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be. I wanted to verify it last time, but unfortunately the virtual ruins have ended. Instructor, let's talk about this later. I plan to go to the Gourd Man's laboratory first and secure all the items."

Chen Qiongzhi nodded and said, "Very good. After you have gathered them, come and join us as soon as possible. The fight against the super-large slime creature will be a tough battle!"

"good."

At that moment, the two groups quickly separated.

Three weeks had passed, and no one knew how big the macrophage slime would grow.

Therefore, the best strategy is to gather superior forces and concentrate on encirclement and suppression.

…

After a while.

Everyone in the group continued to speed up, feeling the unprecedented acceleration and size, and they all became a little unbridled.

Cai Xiaodong shouted wildly: "Damn, are we invincible in the fourth level?"

"Don't plant your flag so casually. Remember when you were almost killed by the ban on speaking?"

Tan Haoran said unhappily.

Cai Xiaodong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I just said it casually. Besides, aren't we still in a non-dense area? It's very stable."

Fortunately, Cai Xiaodong does not have a bad mouth, otherwise Tan Haoran, who is in a bad mood, would have to find an excuse to beat Cai Xiaodong.

"It's a pity that our divine weapons can't be upgraded along with it."

"No way. Divine weapons don't have divine cores. They're just made of special materials that can absorb our divinity to produce effects."

"Too."

As they were talking, everyone successfully arrived at the area where the second laboratory was located.

Because they took a different route from Chen Qiongzhi, they did not meet again.

Chen Qiongzhi took the road opposite. That path was wider overall and less likely to be discovered instantly by the slime creatures.

…

Li Yi said:

"This time, only Zuo Ying, Cai Xiaodong and I will go down. The others should be on guard."

Everyone understood what Li Yi meant. After all, this was a real relic. Unlike the previous times, people could still be resurrected after dying.

But now, once you encounter danger, the risks are extremely high.

Fortunately, after the mecha was upgraded, although the workload of everyone increased a lot, their overall strength was greatly improved.

At that moment, three people popped out of the insertion cabin and landed in.

The three of them were very familiar with the operation and acted quickly.

Zuo Ying and Cai Xiaodong's task was to collect the bodies of the gourd men, pack them into sealed boxes prepared in advance, and then move them into the cockpit for temporary storage.

It would be great if you could find other clues and information by the way.

Li Yi's task is to conduct an on-site survey of the entire laboratory and confirm all suspicious traces again.

This is not a relic in essence, it is a completely foreign object.

In the evolutionary information of virtual relics, a lot of information from the laboratory may be missing.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to clearly confirm the internal and external conditions of the entire ruins.

Five minutes later, Zuo Ying and Cai Xiaodong had finished moving the gourd man's body, and complained on the public channel: "This stench, I found out that it is even more intense than the one evolved from the virtual ruins when I got there, it's almost like chemical weapons. I don't know how Zuo Ying's sensitive nose can stand it."

Zuo Ying said:

"It's okay. I'm mainly used to the smell. Besides, these smells are essentially produced when microorganisms decompose corpses. We feel disgusted because our genes hate the disease. But in fact, these smells can no longer cause much harm to us evolvers."

Cai Xiaodong asked: "But what if these smells are poisonous? For example, is it possible that the real cause of death of the gourd man was not that his chest was ruptured, but that he was poisoned?"

Zuo Ying said: "This is indeed possible, but not likely. I just took a look at the body, and the cause of death should be the rupture of the chest. By the way, I think this body is very likely to be very similar to a human."

Very similar to humans? Pharmacist Wan asked: "How similar?"

On the public channel, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Zuo Ying said: "They are basically the same, and there are no physical signs that they are not human, except that they are a little bigger. At first glance, they might be human."

At this time, Li Yi said on the public channel: "Those of you who are in charge of alert, remember not to be too distracted and focus on the incubator. When I came down just now, I found that the location of a incubator seemed to have moved a little bit compared to the last time I came."

When these words came out, several people were shocked and asked:

"Is there going to be another modified monster coming out?"

Li Yi said: "It's hard to say, it may just be a slight change caused by the vibration of our movements. In short, be careful."

Everyone immediately stopped discussing the gourd man and began to patiently observe the surrounding situation to prevent any accidents.

At this time, Li Yi followed the traces on the ground and came to the third floor of the laboratory.

Of course, before searching for the ruins, he had already taken the authority pendant from the gourd man's body.

If anything happens, I'll have to rely on this thing to save my life.

"If there was that experimental record, it should have been placed on this floor."

"If it's not here, then we can only look forward to the First Laboratory."

Li Yi flipped through the second hand notes of the original book one by one, checking the more authentic traces on them while thinking.

"Is it possible that there is some mystery hidden within the pages of the book?"
