Chapter 11: Has the Mecha Become Stronger Today?
Only after returning to the room did Henry relax his body and feel the pleasure of overdrawing his mental strength.
"Kamen, how can your mental strength be restored?"
He closed his eyes and endured the occasional stabbing pain in his head, but fortunately he could still bear it.
"Just take more rest," Ka Meng said with some dissatisfaction, "Huh, you never call me during the day, but you call me at night."
Henry opened his eyes upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, "Ka Meng, do you need to rest too? Does the system also work during the day and sleep at night? Sorry, I don't quite understand."
"The system doesn't need to sleep..." No. 01 paused, as if he couldn't find a suitable reason, "Then...then Lord Kameng also needs to chat!"
No. 01 was very satisfied with the reason he found. Specifically, the entire ball was rotating, and if it emitted colorful lights, it would instantly turn into a disco.
"Uh...Ka Meng, why don't you chat with the system?" According to common sense, No. 007 and No. 01 should have 6 companions.
"Oh, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?" A string of garbled characters flashed across Ka Meng's screen, showing that it really didn't realize it.
"Forget it, there's nothing else to do." I guess the system can't figure it out either.
When it comes to cultivation, you must avoid being impatient. You should take a rest today. You won’t be able to achieve anything in a short period of time.

After working for three consecutive days, Henry felt physically and mentally exhausted, but his mental strength did not improve significantly, which made him a little anxious.
However, long-term high-intensity work is not without any benefits. For example, he clearly realized that he was more adept at using his mental power.
The number of spiritual tentacles can also be increased to three, and he can feel that the number can continue to increase.
At the same time, he discovered that the reaction speed and perception range of his mental power were far stronger than his own.
He had only discovered this today when he was treating the spiritual sea of an A-rank military female. Under normal circumstances, he would not have noticed the arrival of Major General Carlos until he had finished his work and left the house.
But today when he was working, he clearly felt that there was a bug at the door, and his feeling was confirmed after opening the door.
So if the perception range can be expanded and the perception ability can be further enhanced, will there be a larger combat space?
"Henry, it's time to eat."
Carlos' voice came from downstairs, interrupting his thoughts.
Ever since he praised the female insect a few days ago, the major general's enthusiasm for cooking has become even higher, and it is almost out of control.
For example, among today's meals, at least three dishes on the table were made by him. Of course, this also shows that the major general's cooking skills have indeed improved significantly, otherwise it would be impossible to determine which dishes were made by the major general.
Cooking is something that is very simple as long as you are willing to learn and don't overdo it.
While Carlos was eating, he would glance at the male insect from time to time.
The male insect has become depressed again these days. He runs to the bedroom as soon as he gets home. Is he depressed? Is he under too much pressure at work?
"Henry, isn't tomorrow a day off? Do you want to play the game I bought last time?"
Unlike Carlos and other female soldiers, male insects have two days off a week. Female soldiers usually choose to rest during their estrus period, so there is no fixed rest time.
"Okay!" It's a combination of work and rest. Besides, you have been saying that you want to play, but you haven't enjoyed it yet. If you think this way, tomorrow will still be good.
"Then certify my insect citizen certificate!" He no longer wanted Macabaka.
Carlos helped him register and topped up hundreds of millions of star coins. Of course, he wanted to have fun playing games.
The next day,
Henry turned on his computer, put on his equipment, and started the game "Star Wars".
The background of the game is the 500 years of alien invasion. As a female soldier resisting the aliens, the player needs to continuously improve his combat power, fight monsters and level up, and finally fight a decisive battle with the alien leader to win the final victory.
The game has a strong sense of physicality, with the aliens' twisted postures and the ubiquitous sense of oppression. Players are always on guard, as aliens may appear anywhere, and any abnormality may be caused by aliens.
It was really thrilling. Since the one logged in was Carlos's insect ID, the picture returned to normal. The bizarre alien races and the real shooting experience brought an unparalleled adrenaline rush of excitement.
When Henry took off his equipment, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He really wanted to kill a few aliens. Of course, this was unlikely because the aliens had been exterminated.
It would be great if they could go to the battlefield. After all, the so-called extremely powerful variants of the alien race are only listed separately because their large numbers and omnipresence have brought unprecedented disasters to the Zerg.
It's a pity that as a male insect, its body is still too weak and it will be torn to pieces in an instant without any power to resist. It would be great if it could transform.
Thinking of this, it's time to bother the rich bug Javier. I haven't contacted him for a long time and I miss him very much.
"Javier? What are you doing?"
Javier's golden hair was wet with sweat. He sat on the desk, holding the red head with his hands, with a trace of impatience on his face, as if he was doing something unspeakable.
"Hmm?" A deep voice came out, as if he hadn't expected him to connect to the computer. "Henry? Wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Henry's face flushed red. What did he see? Damn it, how could a bug answer the phone like this? Shameless.
About half an hour later, Javier called.
"What's wrong, little male?" Having just finished the battle, Javier leaned lazily in the female king's arms.
How could he be so calm? But he was also serious about something, "Does the new Airy have mechas for sale?"
"Mecha? A toy for the bug cubs?" Javier looked at him in surprise. It was rare for bug cubs that were about to awaken to play with this.
There is no information found on Starnet, but since Javier is at the top of the food chain, if even he doesn’t know about it, it seems that there is really no information.
"It's not a toy, it's a mecha that insects can enter and control!" Henry was a little unwilling to give up. The Zerg technology is so advanced, but there is no insect researching this? Damn it.
In fact, considering the racial characteristics of the Zerg, it is reasonable that no Zerg is willing to study mechas. After all, female Zergs have bodies that are unrivaled in the galaxy and wings that can be used for flying and fighting, so there is no need to study these.
Perhaps the most important thing for male insects is reproduction.
"If the male insects can use their mental power to control mechas, then they might be able to go into battle and kill mutants."
"Not yet," Javier's eyes lit up when he heard about mental control. He paused. He now had a strong interest in this mecha, "but it's possible."
"I've sent you Cole's optical computer. Contact him. If even he can't figure it out, then there's no possibility of mecha development in New Airy."
Javier has always been too lazy to use his brain, and star coins can solve many problems.
"That Cole might not pay attention to me!" Who would agree to the application of a stranger for no reason?
"That's right, I'll get him out for you. See you at Lu Shen Di." Javier was also an impetuous male insect, and he quickly notified all the relevant insects.
By the time Henry arrived, there were already three bugs in the room.
"Little Henry, let me introduce you." Javier pointed to the black-haired, black-eyed male insect next to him, "This is Louis, my insect friend."
Henry couldn't help but take a few more glances. This 'bug' really didn't look like a bug, but there were many Zerg races, so it might just be one of them. After all, he came here to become a Zerg, and no Zerg had ever doubted him.
"This is Cole, a genius from the Imperial Research Institute. You can communicate with him."
This male Zerg fits his impression of the Zerg. His long dark green hair and skin that is so white that it is almost transparent give him a very Zerg style.
"Hello, I'm Henry."
"Do you want to develop a mecha that can be operated by male insects?" Cole spoke directly. As an SSS-level male insect, he has a noble status and always speaks and acts directly, rarely considering the feelings of other insects.
"Yes, but I only have an idea." The male insect said this in a very cold and unkind way.
"Tell me more about it."
"The Zerg's technology is very advanced, so it is very feasible to research a maneuverable mecha." Henry had already studied this on the way.
"Male insects don't have the physical advantages of female insects, so this mecha can be used to improve their combat effectiveness.
I discovered that the male insect's mental power has a lot of room for operation. Since mental power can help sort out the spiritual sea, it can naturally do other things.
After my attempts, I found that mental power can be condensed into mental tentacles, which have a certain strength. At the same time, the perception ability and range of mental power can exceed the physical medium.
So I think mechas are still worth researching."
Henry finished speaking, and he seemed a little unsure. I wonder if he made himself clear.
"You mean, you can control physical objects with mental power?" Louis had been staring at the male insect since he came in. He agreed with Henry's idea that perhaps they were of the same kind.
"Yes!" Henry replied.
"Please look." He placed the cup of water in front of him in the middle of the table and slowly pushed it with his mental tentacles.
“Of course, my control over my mental power isn’t very strong right now, but through my experiments, I’ve found that there’s a lot of room for improvement.
When I first tried, I could only barely touch the branches at the top of the tree."
The three insects present were very surprised by Henry's display, which was a very good thing for the male insect.
"Okay." Cole said suddenly.
Henry was completely bewildered by this incoherent and abrupt sentence. What did it mean? He looked at Javier in confusion.
"What Cole meant was that we could develop mechas," Javier explained. "He's always like that. He knows what he wants to know, and the rest is..."
Everything is self-explanatory. Cole, a scientific geek, has always had questionable emotional intelligence. If it weren't for the fact that he could earn star coins, Javier wouldn't be so familiar with him.
Completely different from the cold Cole, star coins are really a good thing.
Seeing that Javier had explained everything clearly, Cole knocked on the table and left.
"What he means is that when his optical computer is developed, he will need your cooperation." Javier helped to add.
"Oh oh oh!" What a cool bug! So cool! It's worthy of being a genius.
Louis: "Do you mind telling me how you control your mental power?"
Javier: "Yes, little Henry, you did a remarkable thing."
"I imagined these things as the spiritual sea of the female insect. After trying a few times, I found the method."
As for the improvement of mental power, Henry did not mention it. It was not that he wanted to keep it secret, but for normal male insects, mental power was determined early on and would not increase. It was just that Ka Meng helped him to cheat.
Louis raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that the ability to control mental power can be improved?"
"If you try it, you'll know. Although it stings a little, your mental strength is like a sword that hasn't been used for a long time. It's rusty, but with more use, the rust slowly fades away."
The metaphor was not very appropriate. "Do you understand what I mean?" Henry asked uncertainly.
The male insect nodded. Although it was a bit abstract, he could still understand it roughly.
After that, the three bugs discussed it some more, and Henry also gained a lot from it. Louis is really smart.
"Okay, that's all for today," Javier said, concluding today's seminar. "Time to eat."
Lu Yin has already urged him, but Javier is not like these two insects. The well-behaved female monarch is always paying attention to him.
