Chapter 831 - 559: No. 2 Fourth Transmigration_2
Strictly speaking, it should really count as a pleasant surprise.
Because it wasn’t some kind of USB plug or port, but a complete mechanical structure.
A pair of mechanical feet extended out at an even speed.
Very quickly, its full true form was revealed bit by bit.
It was... a Mecha body!
"Ah, what the—!"
The next second, he let out another exclamation.
This one was the speechless kind.
Thump!
And then Li Pu just went straight down on his knees.
[Well? Have you been overwhelmed by my new body?]
No. 2 descended back to the ground, standing on two feet this time.
Li Pu raised his head, his eyes filled with utter denial of reality.
Complete.
After four reincarnations, No. 2 really had recovered a body and was fully complete at last.
But...
"But what’s with this 1:1 head-to-body ratio, seriously?!"
Li Pu had never expected his summoned beast to go from a big-head Mecha to a big-head-on-a-Mecha.
It didn’t have even a shred of connection to "cool"; what was with this slightly cutesy chibi body proportion!
[Junior, you there?]
[On my way!]
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right then, Gan Wenlun’s horn blared outside, along with the heavy footsteps of the beast Mecha.
Clang-clunk, clang-clunk...
No. 2’s body folded and transformed in a flurry and very sensibly retracted itself.
"So now even you feel embarrassed, huh."
Li Pu shot it a disgruntled look.
[That is of course absolutely impossible]
No. 2 didn’t even bother to act tough.
In no time, the beast Mecha drove into the training ground.
They had deliberately picked a very large training field. Gan Wenlun jumped down from the cockpit, still holding his phone.
"Classmates, today is the day you witness the power of the beast Mecha."
His phone was currently in the middle of a video call.
On the other end were the master’s students from his same year.
[Whoa, whoa, whoa, this thing of yours actually moves?]
[So jealous, my thesis just got sent back, I’m still revising it day and night.]
[Looks like a lot of fun, lend it to me to drive sometime, how about it?]
[Go for it, Gan Wenlun, let us see what kind of contraption you’ve built in the Mechanical Department.]
Gan Wenlun bragged to them as he set the phone down on a chair at the edge of the training field, pointing the camera toward the arena.
[Eh? That headed Mecha]
But very soon, No. 2’s existence drew everyone’s attention.
[Isn’t that the flying-head brute Mecha that’s been really famous in the Mechanical Department lately?]
[Heard it roams around the Mechanical Department almost every day.]
[Heard that as long as you give it perks, it’ll shower you with shameless compliments.]
[Mecha versus Mecha, so this is the opponent you picked for your debut-and-finale match? Haha, interesting!]
[But come on, the other guy’s Mecha is obviously way cooler than that patched-together knockoff of his.]
[But it’s only a head, what kind of combat power can it have? Does it breathe fire? Or spit missiles?]
[Gan Wenlun, are you just bullying people here or what?]
Obviously, everyone was more interested in No. 2.
Under their enthusiastic demands, Gan Wenlun could only bring the phone closer to No. 2 for some interaction, while Li Pu wisely stepped aside.
[No. 2, No. 2, am I the smartest person in the world?]
Someone remembered the rumor and asked.
[Of course you are, you clever thing you]
No. 2 answered smoothly.
[Wow! They were telling the truth, it really has such a sweet mouth!]
In an instant, everyone was itching to communicate with No. 2.
"Alright, alright, that’s enough."
Gan Wenlun unhappily set the phone back on the chair.
He—oh wait, his beast Mecha—was supposed to be the main character.
[Come on, junior!]
He climbed back into the beast Mecha’s cockpit, a spot that looked like the navel on a tree-trunk torso.
"Take care of yourself."
Li Pu patted No. 2, then left the field.
This fight looked like it was the senior’s wish; besides, as long as No. 2 didn’t self-destruct it had basically no combat power, so he had no intention of getting involved.
[Hey hey, Summoner, who are you looking down on here]
[I’m begging you, hurry up and leave, leave him to me to deal with alone]
No. 2’s eye lights flickered in fright.
What kind of joke was this, having it fight that huge chunk of a guy.
"Yeah, yeah, fine."
This time Li Pu went along with its nonsense, waved his hand, and walked off to the side to be a spectator.
[Come on, No. 2!]
[Eat my Tiger Head Fist!]
As soon as the arena cleared, Gan Wenlun controlled the Beast Mecha and swung the left fist made from feline beast bones.
[Let’s fight to the death!]
Facing the massive fist, No. 2 was so scared it couldn’t move.
But then, something neither it nor Li Pu had expected happened.
Vmm!
Bang!
A transparent blue, grid-like honeycomb force field automatically unfolded over No. 2’s body.
Although it looked like the Beast Mecha’s fist had already hit it, in reality there was still a tiny gap, so there was no actual contact, let alone any real damage.
"This new innate ability is kind of interesting."
It was also Li Pu’s first time seeing the Armor Force Field in real combat.
Judging from that strike just now, he felt that Gan Wenlun’s Beast Mecha packed about as much power as a Rank 1 max-level beast.
Yet that level of power couldn’t even break No. 2’s shield.
And don’t forget, behind that protective membrane force field, it had its new solid armor as well.
[Hehehe, worthy of a legit Mecha, it really is awesome]
With his punch doing nothing, Gan Wenlun felt he was losing face, so he hurried to find himself a way out.
[Then eat my Dragon Head Fist!]
The right fist of the serpent-headed beast swung out.
Bang!
Still nothing.
[Dragon and Tiger Dual Form!]
Bang!
[Vigorous as a Dragon and Horse!]
Bang!
[Dragon, Tiger, Fish, Horse!]
Bang!
The Beast Mecha used both hands and feet, even resorting to headbutts, yet still couldn’t break through No. 2’s protective field.
It was obvious the Armor Force Field’s upper limit was actually even higher.
After all that commotion, Li Pu heard a burst of laughter coming from the other end of his phone.
[Hahahahahaha, so this is the power of a Beast Mecha]
[I’ve already recorded it, adding it to this year’s black-history archive]
[If the teacher had seen this video in advance, he probably wouldn’t have let his thesis pass]
[But that Mecha is still pretty impressive, taking so many attacks without budging an inch]
[True, Gan Wenlun wasn’t wrong, a legit Mecha really isn’t something a patchwork robot can compare to]
[I really wish I had a Mecha too, it doesn’t even need to be that good, I’d be happy with just half a head]
[Me too, I’d settle for a single leg]
[I’d be satisfied with just a mechanical crotch]
[You’re not right in the head]
By the end, it was once again a chorus of envy from the Mecha fanatics.
"..."
Only Li Pu knew that No. 2 was standing perfectly still because it was scared stiff.
But no matter how cowardly a Summoner beast is, if it sees the opponent repeatedly just tickling it, it can still muster up some courage.
So without him realizing it, No. 2 had gotten inflated.
[You are a powerful and respectable opponent]
[Next I will go all out against you]
That was how it exaggerated things.
But when those reverse words reached everyone else’s ears, they turned into modesty.
[It really respects its opponent]
[Mecha can have such high moral standards too?]
[Shame on me, my Summoner beast only knows how to ride other people’s little dogs all day]
[My Summoner beast bares its teeth and claws for half an hour just to wash a dish]
[My Summoner beast won’t even help pick up a delivery]
The more Li Pu listened, the more he felt these seniors were unreliable.
If a straw man doesn’t want to wash dishes or pick up deliveries, then you just beat the crap out of it.
Straw Man: Grass!
While everyone was still grumbling, the Turbo thruster on the back of No. 2’s head flipped out.
A powerful jet of blue flame burst forth.
The Summoner wouldn’t allow it to self-destruct, so it basically had no attack methods.
Its only means of attack was Turbo propulsion plus hard armor.
[Get out of the way, quick!]
[I don’t wanna smash you to death!]
With that roar, it turned into a shooting star and charged straight at the Beast Mecha.
[Huh?!]
Gan Wenlun never imagined that a dignified Mecha would use such a primitive way of attacking.
But his Beast Mecha wasn’t agile, and the other side was fast, so...
Rumble!
