[Second Realm: Inner Master, at this level one can control a true mecha.]
The difference between an exoskeleton and a mecha is enormous. One is merely a static, inanimate object, while the other can be considered, in a sense, a semi-living entity, capable of changing its form depending on the pilot.
[The third realm is the Master of Machine Operation (also known as the Mech Warrior Master), the fourth realm is the Venerable of Machine Operation (Mech Warrior Venerable), the fifth realm is the King of Machine Operation (Mech Warrior King)... and there are also legendary beings who have never reached the level of a demigod.]
[On a side note, although "操之力" sounds a bit crude, it's a translation issue. In the common language of airspace, "操" simply means "to control" and has no other miscellaneous meanings!]
Tommy wanted to touch Emma's tits and play with her on a rough carpet.
Tommy was quite surprised to find that Emma's cats didn't have beavers.
Emma accepted the rooster that Tommy sent her.
"English-Chinese translation, isn't that amazing?"
[Yun Shiyi collected the "Immortal Paths" of each of his fifteen adopted sons, totaling 203 systems, including this Manipulation System. Therefore, you know everything about it and how to follow this system.]
You touched your spatial ring, took out a portion of "Mysterious Brightness Liquid" (a high-end auxiliary resource for the manipulation system) that you had collected beforehand, drank it down in one gulp, and began to cultivate little by little...
[The Mysterious Elixir is a high-grade product even for a high-level martial arts master. Normally, someone below the "Cultivation Crystal" stage would suffer harm from even a single drop due to their inability to absorb the nourishment.]
But its essence, nearly six thousand times stronger... it can't even cause a ripple inside you!
[Ten minutes later, when Xu Yan pushed the wheelchair out, your cultivation level had reached the sixth stage of Qi Manipulation. Once the Xuanming Liquid within your body is fully digested and absorbed, you will be at least at the ninth stage of Qi Manipulation, and may even break through to the stage of Qi Manipulation Liquid!]
[The main issue is the sheer amount of real resources required, which means you need to consume over a hundred times more; otherwise, you might not even reach the level of the Manipulation Crystal.]
After ten minutes of splashing and banging, the girl calmed down, and Xu Yan seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
"Including both the older and younger children."
You mentioned her brother, Xu Wen.
[Xu Wen, a seven-year-old boy who has been taking care of his younger sister alone for ten years, has come a long way with the help of kind neighbors, and is even able to attend school, entering "Xinghui School".]
However, he didn't enter the school to secure a spot in the "Holy Land Airspace"—he knew he didn't have the ability. He simply wanted to improve his standing through good grades so he could find a good job after graduation and earn more credits to treat his sister's legs.
[However... the long-term care for his younger sister and the time spent traversing the garbage mountain have delayed his cultivation, making it difficult for Xu Wen to even graduate now.]
His cultivation level is "Sixth Stage of Qi Manipulation".
The graduation requirement is "Ninth Dan in Qi Cultivation".
Students who do not meet the requirements before the age of eighteen will be expelled from the school.
Yun Shou (eating melon seeds)
[October 1st, a little over a month from now (today is August 25th), will be the assessment for Xinghui School. This is Xu Wen's last chance, because he will be eighteen years old by the time he has another opportunity!]
"At the same level as what I reached in ten minutes of cultivation? Xu Wen, you're quite the extraordinary genius."
[You know there are environmental factors involved. Xu Wen only started cultivating at the age of 12, and he also had many other things to do. Reaching the sixth level in five years is already an outstanding achievement among the poor.]
His younger sister, Xu Yan, is still an ordinary person because the family can't afford to support a second pilot, which would require special resources.
[However, some mecha families in the airspace begin training their offspring from the age of five or even three. By the time they reach 18 and pass the mecha major entrance exam, their cultivation can even reach the second realm, allowing them to directly pilot regular mechas and form a combat force!]
"The machine control system is indeed quick to learn." Yun Shou recalled a wave of memories in his mind.
Although there are 18-year-olds with innate talent in the Azure Domain, they are basically achieved by overdosing on some high-level drugs. The aforementioned cases, while also relying on drugs and resources, are just high-grade drugs with normal standards.
The average age of a Supreme Being in the Azure Domain to break through is around two thousand years old, but the average age of a Mech Warrior Supreme Being in the Sky Domain to break through is about two hundred years old.
The Manipulator system has the disadvantage of short lifespan and extremely low combat power; its advantage is fast cultivation and the ability to use external forces called "mechs". The highest level of Divine Mech is several times higher than that of the Holy Body Transformation Zone of the same realm (excluding those who have rebuilt).
In the Zun Yuan system, prodigies can become celestial beings at the age of 50, with a lifespan of 1000-1500 years.
The most outstanding trainees in the trainer system can become "Master Trainers" of the third realm at the age of 50, and live to be 300.
As Xu Yan talked to you more, you could clearly sense her remorse.
"If it weren't for me holding him back, my brother could definitely have reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation by now, graduated from Xinghui School with a passing degree, found a good job, and had a bright future..."
"Don't worry, he has a chance to reach that level now," you comforted him. "I won't allow my little brother to be so disgraced, still stuck at this pathetic 'Qi of Sexual Brilliance' level at eighteen."
"Little brother? What little brother?" the wheelchair-bound girl asked, puzzled.
"Didn't he tell you? He's now an indispensable henchman in my grand plan to return to the airspace, counterattack the mysterious family, and reclaim the crown prince's power!"
Seeing the girl's blank expression, you coughed lightly: "Of course, the slave's slave isn't my slave. He's my underling, you're not."
Xu Yan looked up at the ceiling... She felt so tired and didn't want to talk.
You didn't bother her anymore; while strolling around the neighborhood, you were also using drugs to level up.
While wandering through the slums, you encountered six robberies, fourteen thefts, and one rape.
[You successfully thwarted a robbery, managed to steal all the victim's money, and even... used a metal rod to make the victim give up their virginity.]
"What a chaotic world this is."
"People are robbing people everywhere." You hold the coins made of a special material in your hand and stuff them into your spatial ring.
The primary currency on the abandoned mining planet is credits, a digital currency. However, to prevent accidental damage to electronic cards, they have also issued a large amount of physical currency, with denominations ranging from 0.01 to 100 credits.
Credits are very valuable; a normal worker's monthly salary is 20-30 credits.
