Chapter 52 My Unlucky Brother 7: Gaa's Rampage
The original owner had only operated mecha when he was a child. Although nothing happened, Qi Nanping and Qin Zhen repeatedly warned him not to pilot mecha again.
So even though the Qi family had enough money to form a mecha legion, the original owner never piloted a mecha again.
Qi Wang had piloted mechs more than once or twice, but the mechs in this world were quite different from those he had piloted before.
He was put on a neural link device, and within a few breaths, his field of vision changed.
It was a magical feeling; the mecha had become his body, and he could control it without any sense of sluggishness.
Qi Wang piloted the mecha, running and jumping around the laboratory, using all the basic weapons equipped on it.
Qi Wang's spiritual power is vast and boundless; what the mecha needs is just a drop in the ocean for him.
In order to test the operating logic of the mecha, Qi Wang compressed his mental power to level A.
After his mental strength reached A-level, Qi Wang clearly lost the ease with which he used to control his mecha, and his movements became much slower.
When he suppressed his mental power to level B, he was no longer able to make the mecha perform various actions.
After several experiments, Qi Wang emerged from the mecha and recorded the results.
To put it simply, the relationship between mental power and mechs is like this: the mech is the computer, and mental power is the network signal. When the mental power level is high, the network signal is at full strength, and the mech computer can naturally start.
The lower the mental strength level, the worse the network signal, and the more likely the mecha, a computer that requires a network to operate, will become a piece of scrap metal.
What if we could make a signal amplifier?
The people of the Scorpion Empire rely too much on mental power. In the two thousand years since the invention of mechs, humanity has conducted countless experiments and discovered that only those with god-level mental power can pilot mechs.
After determining the level of people's spiritual power, they artificially divided them into different grades.
Those god-level mental power users who can pilot mechs are high above, existing at the very pinnacle of the empire.
A-level mental power users who can pilot mechs for short periods are considered second-class citizens. Below them are B-level and lower mental power users who cannot pilot mechs.
They are at the very bottom of the Scorpion Empire.
After all, only those who can pilot mechs can fight against the Zerg, and only mechs can inflict damage on the Zerg. Mech warriors are the backbone of the battlefield.
The level of mental strength and the ability to pilot mechs have become the benchmark for evaluating citizens of the Empire.
All citizens of the Scorpio Empire have become accustomed to this system of class division, even in families where class should not exist.
Over the years, people's thinking has become rigid. Everyone has assumed that only those with god-level mental strength can pilot mechs, so naturally no one would think that those with B-level mental strength could also pilot mechs.
Qi Wang is a mecha repairman. Although he has not yet graduated, he has all the necessary certifications. Qi Wang went online to the StarNet to buy what he needed.
Research requires a process, especially research on something that could alter the structure of an empire, which requires an even more meticulous process.
Qi Wang spent three days developing the mental power amplifier.
Then he contacted his friend via the quantum computer.
That's right, the original owner also had friends. Citizens of the Empire were divided into different levels based on their mental strength, and each mental power user would only associate with people of the same level.
Those who were familiar with Qi Wang were naturally also B-level mental power users.
Ma Junlai, Zhou Miaoran, Xu Yifang, and Qin Dongdong were the original owner's friends before she dropped out of school. After she dropped out, they came to see her several times, but An Heiyu sent them away each time, saying that she didn't want to see them.
The original owner's personal computer was confiscated, and he was not allowed to leave home, so he naturally lost all contact with his friends.
Ma Junlai and the other three didn't think the original owner looked down on them because of their humble background; they just assumed that something had happened to his family.
Unexpectedly, after losing contact for three months, Qi Wang actually contacted them again.
The four of them put down what they were doing and rushed to the laboratory where Qi Wang was.
Zhou Miaoran is the only woman among the four. She and Qi Wang originally had feelings for each other, which was more than friendship but less than romance.
The two were in a period of ambiguity, but Qi Wang suddenly cut off all contact with them, which made Zhou Miaoran feel that something was wrong.
Three months have passed, and when Zhou Miaoran saw Qi Wang again, the feeling that something was wrong was even stronger. She called out to Qi Wang and quickly walked up to him.
But when Zhou Miaoran saw Qi Wang's exquisite and beautiful face, she stopped in her tracks.
Zhou Miaoran had always known that Qi Wangsheng was handsome, and he still looked the same as before, but the way he looked at her had changed.
His eyes were clear, devoid of the ambiguous pull of the past. The way he looked at me was no different from how he looked at Ma Junlai, Xu Yifang, and Qin Dongdong.
Zhou Miaoran, who was still somewhat agitated, abruptly stopped in her tracks. She stood three meters away from Qi Wang, her eyes revealing something else entirely.
"Qi Wang, are you alright?"
Qi Wang naturally knew that the original owner had such a romantic entanglement, but the two of them did not make it clear, and it was just an ambiguous period of mutual attraction.
Qi Wang did not intend to make everything clear, but decided to handle it quietly.
After all, he wasn't the original owner of this body, so he didn't dislike Zhou Miaoran, a young girl, but he didn't have any feelings of liking either.
He was just there to complete a mission; Qi Wang had no intention of taking on any emotional debts.
"You've arrived. I've been busy with something great lately, and now that it's a success, I came to you as soon as possible."
Qi Wang greeted them with a smile. Except for his different attitude towards Zhou Miaoran, his attitude towards the others was the same as always.
The three of them, being carefree and oblivious, didn't notice anything amiss and hurriedly approached Qi Wang to ask him what was going on.
"No, you disappeared for three months just to do this?"
"What results have you achieved? Show them to us!"
"Wow, your lab is huge! Is that mecha the latest model? It must have cost a fortune. You just bought it for research?"
The prices of mechs on the market vary, and the mechs used by these mech repairmen are basically mass-produced models.
The mechs of god-level mental power users are all customized according to their personal habits; they do not buy mass-produced machines on the market.
The mecha that Qi Wang bought is the highest quality available on the market.
Is it really necessary to buy such a high-end one just to repair a mech?
Qi Wang explained with a smile, "This mecha is now my personal mecha."
They didn't understand Qi Wang's meaning: "Mechs may not be expensive, but that's relative. What do mech repairmen like us need custom-made mechs for?"
He can't even pilot a mecha, so what's the point of buying such a good one?
Qi Wang: "...Exclusive mecha means that I can pilot it."
Upon hearing this, the other four people were stunned. They turned to look at Qi Wang, their faces full of distrust.
"Are you kidding me? You can pilot a mecha?"
"Qi Wang, we know that your older brothers and sisters are all very outstanding, and you also want to pilot mechas, but we are B-level mental power users, which are born with defects. Unless we are reincarnated as god-level mental power users, it is impossible for us to pilot mechas in this lifetime."
From the moment their mental strength levels were determined, they knew that piloting mechs was not for them.
The only thing they can do in their lives that involves getting close to mechs is become a mech mechanic, where they can touch and work with the mechs. There's nothing more they can do.
Qi Wang's older brother and sister are all god-level mental power users, and all four of them know that Qi Wang has always wanted to pilot a mecha.
But dreams are dreams, and delusions are delusions. Qi Wang stayed at home for three months, and finally drove himself crazy?
Facts speak louder than words. Qi Wang didn't mince words; he simply arranged for the four to sit down and then gave them a fancy demonstration of piloting the mecha.
Flying through the sky and darting underground, we make hearts together.
After a series of flashy performances, Qi Wang's four friends were all dumbfounded.
They stared wide-eyed and gaped, unable to find their own voices for a long time.
No way, are you kidding me? Was that mecha really piloted by Qi Wang? Could there be a god-level mental power user hiding inside?
As we all know, B-level mental power users cannot pilot mechs, and Qi Wang's precise maneuvering just now was something even an A-level mental power user couldn't do.
Those with god-level mental power look down on them and would never hide among them to put on a show.
So, this mecha was really piloted by Qi Wang?
The four men were excited and suddenly stood up from their chairs. If they weren't afraid that the huge mech would hurt them, they would have rushed over by now.
Qi Wang quickly emerged from the mecha, and Ma Junlai and the others rushed over and surrounded him.
"Qi Wang, how did you do that? How can you pilot a mecha?"
"Qi Wang, are you alright? Should we get you checked out? It would be a real problem if there was brain damage..."
"Qi Wang, how long can you pilot a mecha? What's the limit? Won't this affect your brain..."
The four of them asked questions in a flurry, one after another, so fast that Qi Wang couldn't keep up.
Finally, Qi Wang said helplessly, "Alright, alright, everyone quiet down."
Qi Wang stopped the chaos and then dropped a bombshell.
"Actually, it's not just me who can pilot the mecha, you can all pilot them. I've prepared mechas for you, you can go up and try them out."
Friends: "!!!!"
How could Qi Wang utter such fiery words with his 37-degree mouth?!
The four men's gazes towards Qi Wang became intense; if gazes had a physical form, Qi Wang would have been scalded by them.
"Alright, I know you're all excited, but don't get too excited, let's take it one at a time."
They are mecha mechanics. Although they cannot pilot the mechas, they are very familiar with the internal and external structures of the mechas.
Upon entering the driver's cab, they discovered that the original neural connection device had been modified by Qi Wang.
The wiring inside the driver's cab is crisscrossed, looking like all sorts of artificial neurons.
Could it be that Qi Wang is able to pilot a mecha because of these things?
The four trusted Qi Wang completely. Besides, what citizen of the Scorpion Empire doesn't dream of owning a mecha?
Now that their dreams are within reach, how can they suppress their excitement?
The four people sat in the driver's seat and put on neural connection devices.
