As soon as the bell rang, Xiang Fan rushed out of the repair shop like an arrow, not even paying attention to Engineer Hong calling him from behind. His mind was filled with a single thought, burning like a blazing flame: to realize the engine design he had created during the day in the virtual world as quickly as possible!
Xiang Fan rushed back to his cabin, not even bothering to turn on the lights. He jumped directly into the battered mech and quickly activated the virtual connection device to the Spirit Realm battlefield. A light screen appeared, and he expertly called up the permission settings, blocking all communication requests. He casually said in the team channel: "Retreat, upgrade, do not disturb, or I will kill you."
The message was followed by a system warning of dozens of poisonous virtual bombs, as if to indicate that anyone who dared to disturb him would be "shot in the head" immediately.
Shadow Killer (Ning Yuge) was the first to see the news and immediately scratched his head: "What happened to the boss? Did he break up?"
You Yu Jian Jia (Ling Ruochen) quickly chimed in, "I don't know. I just tried to make a video call to him, but the system popped up a bunch of poison alerts, and I was so scared I almost lost the connection. The boss is really fierce today."
Sky Sword Armor (Ling Ruoxi) sneered: "Serves you right. Come on, stop arguing with the boss. Judging from his attitude, he must be busy with something serious."
The Xuanwu Guard (Luo Tiangang) coughed and suggested, "Since the boss is not here, let's go to the fifth row by ourselves. You Yu, stop trying to get yourself killed."
The Gu Master (Bai Zang) stretched lazily and said with a smile, "It's up to you guys. I'll be the core today anyway. Hurry up and join the team. I'm starving. I have to fight a few games before I have to go through the garbage mountain."
A few of them were laughing and forming teams to compete in the rankings, but they didn't know that at this time, No. 0 (Xiang Fan) was already immersed in the virtual transformation workshop of the Spirit Realm battlefield, concentrating on a crazy "money-burning" operation.
Xiang Fan rented the most advanced virtual transformation workshop in the Spirit Realm battlefield. The daily rent for this place was a whopping 1,000 virtual spirit stones, enough to bankrupt the average player. But Xiang Fan had no concept of virtual spirit stones; he simply spent whatever he earned. He even consoled himself by saying, "Since I can't use these spirit stones in real life, I might as well spend them to complete my plan."
Inside the workshop, various virtual parts hovered in mid-air, a magical dance of technology and immortality. A halo of psychic energy swirled around the core workbench, and data streams flowed like starlight, forming a digital refining space.
Xiang Fan stood in the center, holographic screens appearing around him. His fingers slid swiftly, adjusting parameters. A flying sword-shaped tool whirled through the air at high speed, precisely inserting each component into the engine's core. Countless tiny runes were etched into the surface of the components, each stroke like a seal engraving formation, endowing the mecha with a greater ability to flow psychic energy.
"Still not accurate enough..." Xiang Fan frowned, staring at the calculation results on the screen. He quickly adjusted it for the eighth time, carefully revising the energy flow structure and optimizing the stability of the psychic energy transmission.
After a few minutes, he finally clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Alright! Let's try it!"
Xiang Fan installed the newly completed engine prototype onto a virtual test mecha. This was a Jindan-level virtual mecha, with all internal parameters adjusted to peak performance and every psychic circuit meticulously optimized to maximize engine performance.
"Engine start!" Xiang Fan shouted softly, and the entire test space was instantly illuminated by dazzling psychic light.
The engine core resembled a miniature psychic sun, its psychic energy flowing like golden streams, flowing seamlessly between the mecha's various modules. Xiang Fan stared intently at the data on the virtual screen, observing a 98% psychic energy transmission efficiency, far exceeding the level of typical Jindan-class mechas. Unable to contain his excitement, he nearly leaped to his feet.
"This is my ideal mecha engine!" Xiang Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "But that's not enough... I want it to surpass the peak of the Golden Core!"
From this moment on, he was completely obsessed with transformation.
Testing, failure, and then transformation... With each optimization, he would not hesitate to consume more virtual spirit stones to purchase experimental materials and adjust various parameters without restraint.
One day passed, two days passed...
As he finished his first sample, a cold reminder popped up: his account balance had dropped by a full 100,000 virtual spirit stones. This figure was enough to bankrupt an average player, but Xiang Fan had no idea. He simply glanced at it and waved it off casually: "Virtual spirit stones can only be used here, so what's their value?"
Then, without hesitation, he started to transform the second sample.
When the first completely modified mecha "walked out" from the virtual workshop, Xiang Fan looked at its light and shadow and smiled with satisfaction.
This mecha's psychic energy fluctuations were several times stronger than those of similar-level mechas, and its core power system had achieved a level of stability unmatched by ordinary Jindan mechas. Every psychic circuit and every rune inscription within it was the result of countless deductions and calculations by Xiang Fan.
"This is what a mecha is!" Xiang Fan whispered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Next time I meet Ye Tiandi, I will let him know who the real technical master is."
He accurately archived the model data and adjusted the design progress of the second mecha, advancing it to 80%. The night passed silently, and he was immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.
At the same time, on the other side of the Spirit Realm battlefield, Shadow Killer, Gu Master and others were continuing to kill people in the Chaos Region, but they still could not contact their boss.
"How long will the boss stay in seclusion to upgrade this time?" Ning Yuge complained in the chat room as he rolled on the battlefield. "Could it be that he's planning to use a big move to make a big splash?"
Ling Ruoxi controlled the flying sword's light blade in the air and accurately killed an enemy mecha. After hearing this, she smiled and said, "Holding back the ultimate move is the boss's strong point. Let's just wait quietly."
However, Zero had already entered the modification phase of his next mecha, so absorbed in his work that he had lost track of time. Throughout the Spirit Realm battlefield, his status remained as if he were in seclusion, yet what he was creating might just rewrite the very rules of this battle.
