PS:
This was the first chapter of the day, and now Drunk was completely on his knees. He had finally surpassed that book with great difficulty, but in the end, another Silver Guild Master had thrown him down, leaving Drunk in the dust. Right now, Drunk was still more than 150 votes away from the previous book's monthly votes. He wondered if he could surpass him in the last few hours. Right now, Drunk owes everyone ten chapters. Thanks to Markzheng's Guild Master tip, he had become the number one Guild Master with unlimited mecha battles. Thanks.
Today was still five chapters. Two chapters were standard updates and three chapters were explosive. He wouldn't sleep until he finished writing.
"Bite him." Xiao Ran threw the unconscious Military State of Dorcia captive on the ground and said to the hesitant Qing Ren, "What you lack in your body is a type of energy called runes. This type of energy is mostly carried by humans on Earth. Runes are the source of power for your mech. In order to maintain enough power, you must regularly absorb runes from the outside world."
"But first, I have to tell you that if you refuse to absorb runes from the outside world, then every time you pilot a mech, you will be absorbing your own runes. If a person doesn't have runes, then that person will die. So, whether it's for yourself or for the country, you must be ruthless and absorb the runes of others."
Qing Ren looked at Xiao Ran in a daze. She then looked down at the Dorcia soldier on the ground and unconsciously took a step back. She asked hesitantly, "Do I have to absorb other people's runes like a vampire when I pilot Mech 1 from now on? Use other people's lives in exchange for the power I get? "
"It's more or less like this. Equivalent exchange. I think you should understand that you've already become an existence that surpasses humans without paying any price. But if you want to continue piloting Plane No. 1 to obtain the power you want, then you must pay the corresponding price in exchange for this power.
Xiao Ran looked at Qing Ren's flickering eyes and said again, "But you can rest assured that even if you absorb the runes of this captive once or twice, there won't be any problems. We still have a dozen captives, so they can last for a long time. Currently, you need to absorb runes like a vampire. It's because we don't know much about rune energy, so we can only use a more direct method. Perhaps there will be other ways to replenish rune energy in the future. "
"Of course, before you find a better way, you can only use this method. After all, this was a time of war. The people who fired at us are our enemies, so even if you really killed them by extracting all their runes, it is their rightful end. These people who should have been killed are lucky to have survived in this way, isn't it? "
"You can be soft and gentle towards your own people, but you must be firm and ruthless towards your enemies. Every time they attack us, it may lead to the sacrifice of the people around you. As people who have participated in the war and survived until now, everyone's hands are stained with the blood of others. So in the war, you must clearly understand the principle of either you die or I die. So now, choose them to die, or you die. "
Qing Ren closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She clenched her fists and opened her eyes. She nodded firmly at Xiao Ran, "I've already thought about it. I want to protect this place. I want to be with the person I love forever, so I will live on, and I will protect everyone to live together. "
After saying that, the beauty squatted down and grabbed the unconscious captive's hand. She opened her mouth and bit down. In an instant, Xiao Ran saw a strange pattern appear on the beauty's face. Her eyes flashed with a crazy color. She didn't show any reaction until her body softened and fell to the ground.
The current situation was that Xiao Ran didn't know if Qing Ren's consciousness had been transferred to the Dorsia soldier's body because the soldier was still lying on the ground like Qing Ren's body and didn't seem to have any intention of waking up. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
In this world, rune energy was a kind of information particle smaller than an atom, DNA. Memories, blood, and so on were all made up of runes. In other words, human beings were basically the aggregation of rune energy, self-moving rune energy.
However, in the storyline, Qing Ren, who had almost exhausted her soul, didn't collapse because of the lack of runes. If DNA and blood were really made up of runes, then why didn't she suffer from anemia, turning her body into a pile of rotten meat, or turning into specks of light and disappearing from the world? She only felt weak, her memory was shattered, and her brain was dead. It had nothing to do with the collapse of her body.
Qing Ren's craziness in the absence of runes was simply a reflection of an uncontrollable need in her body. Xiao Ran wasn't sure if it was a physical need or a spiritual pursuit, but he felt that it was more like a spiritual and spiritual desire. To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to fainting from hunger, but not from the stomach, but from the soul and spirit.
Xiao Ran had once watched an old movie, City Hunter. In the movie, the main character, Meng Bo, had fainted from hunger and saw everything that was food. He couldn't control himself and pounced on it. Therefore, Xiao Ran felt that Qing Ren's crazy state should be like that.
Xiao Ran was not a professional technician or researcher, so he certainly couldn't study the true nature of rune energy. However, he could speculate what rune energy was based on his experience, memory, knowledge, and other things. First of all, rune energy was definitely a kind of living energy that could be recovered in some way. This could be seen from the storyline.
The recovery method could be by absorbing human beings, and it could even be self-recovery and replenishment. From the storyline's performance, memory was the most direct manifestation of rune energy. Because piloting a body would cause memories to shatter, but memories would continue to grow with the passage of time. This was a relatively different kind of recovery.
Second, rune energy wasn't directly related to the body. The fact that Qing Ren's body didn't collapse was more crucial evidence. In the anime, Qing Ren had bitten El Erf many times, but El Erf didn't seem to have any missing limbs or flesh. He also didn't have his blood sucked dry like a real vampire. Did this mean that rune energy was actually very little or not directly related to the body?
Third, even if Qing Ren possessed El Erf's body, she would still lose runes and her memory would be damaged when piloting Plane 1. However, the key point was that she was using El Erf's body, so what was broken was her own memory. She didn't extract runes from El Erf's body to power Plane 1. Furthermore, she was able to pass the rule that only Larsen Academy students could pilot Plane 1. This was worth thinking about, and it could be seen that the so-called login was actually a form of soul authentication.
In fact, after thinking about the above three points, it was easy to understand. The rune energy of a human body should be regarded as a kind of energy system that belonged to the soul. The more direct manifestations were things like mental strength and vitality. Combined with Xiao Ran's own physical condition, if Plane 1 really consumed mental strength or vitality, then it was equivalent to Xiao Ran's Endurance and Mental Strength values.
However, if Xiao Ran's mental strength was reduced to zero, he would faint. What if he didn't faint but instead became negative? Then Xiao Ran's body might directly become an idiot because all the energy in his body was drained, which meant that his brain would die. This looked exactly the same as the result of the test pilot of Plane 1, Wild Fireball Hui.
And if under some unknown protective measures, when the main donor's mental strength was completely exhausted during the battle, it might start to extract other energy, such as vitality. For example, if the secondary donor's mental strength and vitality continued to power Plane 1, then once the unknown protective measures were removed, the death of the main donor would be inevitable.
The people of this world might not have a deeper understanding of this kind of power, but coincidentally, Xiao Ran knew of another race that also fed on this kind of power — — primitive demons.
In fact, it seemed that there were too many similarities between the Demon Envoys and the primitive demons. The Demon Envoys were known as the existences on the other side of the world, and the primitive demons were also the products of another dimension. The humans that were 'eaten' by them would become idiots, and the key point was that they could occupy the bodies of humans to exist. Weren't they very similar?
