"So this is the [Scaled Arm]?"
Hayashi River exclaimed as he caressed the surface of the mechanical arm. The cold sensation passed through his fingertips.
He realized that the grayish-white patterns were not carved on, but formed naturally.
According to the blueprint, the outer shell of the arm was made from high-purity metal produced by the Scaled Furnace, and the core was made from the Genesis Crystal.
Similar to the Blazing Alloy, the [Genesis Crystal] was also extremely rare.
Moreover, the amount of [Genesis Crystal] in the Eastern Continent was even less than the Blazing Alloy. This crystal was mainly produced in the depths of the five seas, followed by the Western Continent.
On one side of the mechanical arm, there was an oval protrusion. Once activated, it could eject an additional Heart Energy Equipment.
Hayashi River's imagination ran wild. With his current strength, coupled with the two long-range weapons of the mechanical arm, his battle prowess would double.
In terms of overall strength, he could beat anyone below Level 3 Heart Energy Warrior.
"Hayashi River, don't be too happy yet. It's hard to say if you can equip this [Scaled Arm]. Actually, every inheritor is only there to protect it. "
"Before that, you must know its origin, so that when you pass it down, tell your descendants of its glory."
Master Tie Yin poured a bucket of cold water on him and told him that after the battle on the White Nightmare Sea, the mechanical arm of the [Hand of the Throne] was damaged and had never been repaired.
In its later years, the [Hand of the Throne] used the remains of the original mechanical arm to create this [Scaled Arm], but because it did not have much time left, it decided to pass it down.
"To inherit this mechanical arm, you must know two things."
"First, the compatibility between the [Scaled Arm] and the [Brand of the Throne] is very strict. In fact, no inheritor has ever been able to perfectly merge with it."
"Second, the [Scaled Arm] is an additional Heart Energy Equipment, and the materials needed to upgrade it are very expensive. It requires a large amount of Blazing Alloy."
"Hayashi River, do you understand?"
Master Tie Yin said.
"Teacher, a large amount of Blazing Alloy is needed. How much?" Hayashi River asked softly.
"The [Hand of the Throne]'s diary mentioned that the first upgrade would require 100 kilograms of Blazing Alloy. I don't know the rest," Master Tie Yin said.
Hayashi River, "(̄ △ ̄;)"
The first upgrade required 100KG of Blazing Alloy …
For a moment, Hayashi River felt his wallet explode again. Oh, not again. It was the sound of his wallet exploding into pieces.
How is this a mechanical arm? It's basically a gold devouring arm. Doesn't that mean that I'll be poor for a very, very long time in the future …?
"You little brat, don't even think about upgrading the additional Heart Elemental Equipment. Let's see how compatible it is with it first."
Pressing [Scaled Arm], a slot popped out, and Hayashi River's [Throne Brand] was placed inside.
"If the compatibility is not high enough, you can choose to keep it."
"Actually, there has never been a single inheritor who has achieved perfect compatibility. Without perfect compatibility, he would not be able to freely use additional Heart Elemental Equipment. Why don't we build another mechanical arm? It'll be much cheaper to maintain. "
As Master Tie Yin spoke, he observed the mechanical arm's changes.
Gradually, light patterns spread throughout the entire mechanical arm, activating and charging …
Suddenly, Hayashi River felt his right shoulder heat up. He had established a connection with the mechanical arm.
Whoosh …
The grayish-white patterned mechanical arm flew up. The patterns on the cross-section pulsed, connecting with the brand on his right shoulder.
Click … The Psychic Force in his body surged, and a portion of it was injected into the mechanical arm.
"Is this what it feels like to have a mechanical arm installed …"
On his right shoulder, the [Scaled Arm] swayed. At first, it was stiff like a machine, but soon, it became nimble as if he had grown an extra arm.
Click, click …
The mechanical arm rotated, alternating between various mechanical tools and the arm. Hayashi River felt that his work efficiency could increase by 50% in his current state.
"Master, how much is this compatibility?" Hayashi River asked.
Master Tie Yin was stunned, speechless. Controlling a mechanical arm was like driving a car. Usually, after obtaining it, one would need at least ten days to half a month to be able to control it freely.
Once it was installed, it was as nimble as one's own arm. Master Tie Yin seemed to have heard of it before, but he had never seen anyone like it.
Taking a deep breath, Master Tie Yin said, "See if the additional Heart Elemental Equipment can be activated. After activation, if it can transform into your own weapon form, it means that it has achieved perfect compatibility."
"Can't the additional Heart Elemental Equipment be decided by the user?" Hayashi River asked.
Master Tie Yin shook his head and said, "This is the magical part of the [Scaled Arm]. The additional Heart Elemental Equipment will automatically transform according to the user. Grandmaster [Hand of the Throne] mentioned in his notes that the transformed form is the most suitable for the user. "
Hayashi River nodded. He controlled the mechanical arm and activated the additional Heart Elemental Equipment.
Boom!
A sound came from the mechanical arm. The oval protrusion popped out, and a liquid crystal object floated in the air. Countless patterns of light flickered within it.
Hayashi River clearly saw that this object was made from a whole [Origin Scale Crystal].
"Gulp …" Hayashi River swallowed his saliva. Not to mention the entire [Scaled Arm], just this [Origin Scale Crystal] was worth a shocking amount of money.
Wearing this mechanical arm on his body was like carrying a mountain of gold on his back. It was practically a robbery. If he could not achieve perfect compatibility, he might as well change to another mechanical arm.
The object became brighter and brighter. Rays of strange light seeped out and merged into the pattern on Hayashi River's right shoulder.
At this moment, Hayashi River felt that he had formed a connection with this spherical object. He seemed to be able to control it freely.
"It's starting to transform. It looks like it has really achieved perfect compatibility."
Master Tie Yin was very excited. He had high hopes for this student of his. If he could perfectly inherit the [Scaled Arm], he would have no regrets as the current owner of the grayish-white furnace.
Hayashi River was both excited and conflicted. If the transformed weapon form was extremely strong, he would have to upgrade it eventually. How much money would that cost!
After a long while —
The light disappeared. The liquid [Origin Scale Crystal] had changed. However, it had become a spherical object. The surface was coated with a layer of blazing alloy, and there were crystalline protrusions on both ends.
In the laboratory, Hayashi River and Master Tie Yin looked at this object. Both of them were stunned.
"Teacher, is this transformed form really a Heart Energy Weapon? What type is it? "Hayashi River murmured.
Master Tie Yin was a little confused. He could not tell what kind of weapon this form was.
"Let me try it …"
Hayashi River activated the sphere and prepared to fire it.
Pa!
Master Tie Yin slapped him and scolded, "Nonsense! What if you cause trouble by experimenting with weapons here? Don't experiment with weapons in the grayish-white furnace. "
Hayashi River rubbed his head, feeling very innocent. Didn't they just say that additional Heart Energy Weapons would start out at one-star grade and would not have much destructive power?
"This was made by Master [Hand of the Throne]. Who knows what kind of power it has? If you want to try it, go outside and stay away from the grayish-white furnace …" Master Tie Yin warned.
One had to say that a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. No one dared to look down on a weapon made by a nine-star mechanic master, even if it was one-star grade.
"Alright. I'll try it at Dark Water Beach … "Hayashi River muttered.
Kacha, kacha …
The mechanical arm transformed into the shape of clothes. After putting on the mechanic's robe, Hayashi River moved around a little. He did not feel any inconvenience.
"So this is how the mechanical arm is carried. How convenient …" Hayashi River thought.
"Don't show the additional Heart Energy Weapon of the [Scaled Arm] to others," Master Tie Yin warned.
Hayashi River nodded and followed his teacher out of the laboratory.
Back in the office, Master Tie Yin looked at the three students lying on the ground and shook his head. He told Hayashi River not to force himself and to go back and rest for a day.
"Then I'll go back and rest. Teacher. "
Hayashi River replied. He saw the Blue Kitty pretending to be asleep on the table. His eyes widened, and an eyeball pattern appeared on his forehead. He immediately froze this little guy.
Picking up the little blue cat, Hayashi River returned to his residence.
"You gold-swallowing cat … Do you know how poor your master is now? I'll let you have a taste of the power of this gold-swallowing arm …"
Behind Hayashi River, the mechanical arm swayed. He squeezed his hands, and his knuckles cracked. He walked toward the immobile little blue cat.
"Meow …" The Blue Kitty meowed, indicating that it was wrong and would not dare to do it again.
…
In the afternoon.
In the residence, the curtains were drawn, and there were dozens of Little Whites monitoring the house.
Hayashi River sat in front of the table, wearing goggles and sensor gloves. His hands were moving rapidly, coordinating with the mechanical arm to unlock the stone Rubik's Cube.
During the days in the base's examination hall, Hayashi River was worried that he would be discovered, so he did not unlock the Rubik's Cube.
Now, with the [Scaled Arm], he realized that the speed at which he could unlock the Rubik's Cube was much faster. He would be able to unlock it this afternoon.
Beep, beep, beep …
One by one, the edges were unlocked. Finally, when he reached the last edge, Hayashi River stopped, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
The Blue Kitty flew over and quickly set up protective devices to prevent any accidents from happening.
After doing all this, the little guy scurried away and hid in a corner, quietly waiting for the final unlock of the Rubik's Cube.
"You little thing, you're too cowardly …"
Hayashi River glanced at it and curled his lips in disdain. He stood up and went to another corner, setting up three defensive shields. Behind him, his hands pressed in the air, coordinating with the mechanical arm to unlock the Rubik's Cube.
The Blue Kitty glanced at its master and quickly lowered its head, not daring to let its master see the disdain in its eyes.
