"I don't quite understand why you're asking that," Lin Yuan said cautiously.
"Hehe! It's simple. Just jump in, and you'll know the result," Jellyfish laughed, looking very mysterious.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer. To him, jumping in would only cost him some Health Points; it shouldn't be too serious.
So, the next moment, he jumped in. As expected, the pool was filled with three meters of an unknown liquid, likely a combination of plasma, sulfuric acid, aqua regia, and venom.
Almost instantly, corrosive damage notifications appeared on Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body. Especially when the electric sparks surged up, it felt truly unpleasant, and his Health Points dropped rapidly by several hundred.
However, just as Lin Yuan was shocked and preparing to jump out, he felt a clearer sensation spreading throughout his body—a refreshing feeling, like hot air being poured into a chilled beer bottle.
Then Lin Yuan noticed that his Civic Induction Transmission Rate had actually increased by 0.00001 in that instant.
Although this value seemed minuscule, it was still remarkable!
After all, Lin Yuan's Civic Induction Transmission Rate had not increased much over the years; it felt as if it had hit a plateau.
But now, in such a bizarre environment, it actually increased—how could that not astonish him?
What shocked him even more was that after a few seconds, the Health Points he had lost stabilized. Meanwhile, his Civic Induction Transmission Rate continued to increase by 0.00001 every second for five or six seconds before finally leveling off.
"Haha! How does it feel? Isn't it exhilarating? This plasma can stimulate the connection between Intellect and Mechanical Body; it can even affect the solidification of the soul—it's full of benefits," Jellyfish continued to laugh. "Actually, this is quite simple; it's about using external stimuli to enhance the integration of Mechanical Body and Intellect. It's not much different from regular training or combat; it's just that this method seems a bit lazy. Also, the sulfuric acid, aqua regia, and venom I added aren't just for shock value; they're meant to refine my Mechanical Body's resistance strength. You know that most Alloys in this world have a concept called inert fatigue; they age and change over time. Although this process is lengthy, for those of us who pursue perfection, it's intolerable. Therefore, we need to maintain regular training and high-intensity combat because if we don't, we will age ourselves and eventually perish."
"So, in this universe, some life forms regard us Mechanical Warriors as war merchants. But how can they understand that if we do not fight and instead become complacent, it would lead to our own destruction? Fighting, constant fighting, is the core of our existence; there is never an end, not even death can stop it."
This reflection from Jellyfish made Lin Yuan realize that this principle applies equally to Earth Humans and those Silicon-based Life forms. The saying "a door hinge does not rot, and flowing water does not stagnate" embodies this idea, right? Even the sharpest sword will eventually rust if not maintained.
Jellyfish's so-called afternoon tea was a form of maintenance, using reverse stimulation to prevent its Mechanical Body from becoming complacent.
"That makes sense. The concept of inertia fatigue—I'll admit, I've never heard of it before. It seems I've been quite ignorant. However, Jellyfish, if such a concept truly exists, could we say that if we continuously expel the inertia fatigue from the materials that make up our Mechanical Bodies, then theoretically, we could achieve an ideal powerful Mechanical Body? One that is composed of the strongest materials with almost no flaws, always in peak condition?"
At this moment, Lin Yuan curiously asked.
"Yes, you are correct. It's not just theoretical; it actually exists. You know why we Mechanical Warriors place such importance on the soul? It's because long ago, the pioneers of the empire discovered that if a Mechanical Warrior's soul could perfectly merge with its Mechanical Body, then regardless of what materials made up that Mechanical Body, it would be perfect. This material is called Soul Alloy. It is the strongest, hardest, and most sensitive material we can currently produce. Its Enhancement Level has reached one million points—one million points! This is the hardest material in the entire universe so far; no race can achieve this level, not even the Dark Demon Race. But we can. Throughout our long history, only three Mechanical Warriors have reached this level; they are the three great mechanical kings of the empire, possessing immense combat power and ranking at the highest level of SSS."
Jellyfish excitedly explained to Lin Yuan. "The first two Mechanical Kings have already entered the Ninth Dimension of the universe; they are true legends. However, the third Mechanical King is currently guarding the empire. By the way, let me tell you a secret: you know about Mechanical City, right? Isn't it vast? Isn't it magnificent? But that Mechanical City is merely the First Form of the first Mechanical King’s Mechanical Body. It is said that the second Mechanical King also left his First Form Mechanical Body somewhere in this universe, but no one knows its exact location. As a result, many powerful exploration teams often search for it; unfortunately, they have always come up empty-handed."
"This is the allure of Soul Alloy and the true reason why the empire stands strong forever. Because without reaching the strength of Soul Alloy, no matter how solid a material may be, after millions or even billions of years of continuous corrosion, it will inevitably become decayed. Oh, by the way, if you decide to study Weapon Forging next, your instructor will tell you something important: although we are weak now, we should still try to forge a piece of Soul Alloy that belongs to ourselves. It doesn’t need to be complicated; even a screw from your Mechanical Body will do. What you need to do is preserve it forever and continuously strengthen it with various materials bit by bit. Ultimately, if you don’t die in the process, this screw could potentially reach the strength of Soul Alloy." (To be continued.)
