Wei Linlin closely followed Li Xiang's footsteps, gradually discovering that his hidden strength was far greater than this. No matter what kind of machine he was using, he was as familiar with it as if he were making it himself.
Using, creating, and maintaining them, there was nothing he wasn't proficient in.
It was as if he was a natural-born mechanic.
"Could this be the true mechanical genius that my teacher mentioned before?" Wei Linlin's face was filled with envy. She knew that there was a group of people who were born with a mechanical sense that far surpassed that of ordinary people. They had a natural advantage when it came to practical operations and using tools. This kind of person often had a higher chance of becoming a true mechanic, which was why Wesaix Technology was paying close attention to them.
She really found it hard to accept that a commoner could reach such a level. It wasn't that she was prejudiced, but rather that her ten years of education and experience made it impossible for her to judge something that exceeded her imagination. She felt as if her brain had short-circuited.
Starting from the fifth floor, Li Xiang consciously slowed down his pace, allowing Wei Linlin to keep up with him. He was quite curious as to why this young miss of the Wei Clan was following him. In order to keep up with her speed, he had no choice but to stay on each floor for a while longer.
This was also a good opportunity to earn a bit more.
The two of them walked in front of each other before finally stepping through the door to the tenth floor.
When she saw the door that had been blocked countless times before, Wei Linlin's heart was filled with emotion. This wasn't the first time she had come to the Sky Arena, but she had never been able to break through to the tenth floor.
Li Xiang's appearance had somewhat motivated her to follow him. She hadn't expected that she would actually break through this barrier and arrive at the tenth floor, which she had never been able to reach before.
Li Xiang pulled out his recording device and glanced at it.
Competitor: Li Xiang
Competitive Title: None
Highest Floor: 10
Competitive Points: 1899
Overall Ranking: 10000 +
Seeing that his overall ranking was still outside the top 10,000, he chuckled. It seemed that entering the top 10,000 wasn't an easy task. He had earned a million Blue Astral Coins so far, and all of them had been converted into standard tubes of Source Substance Gas. He now had 95 standard tubes of Source Substance Gas in his possession.
This accumulation speed was extremely fast, but he was still quite a distance away from the 150 standard tubes he needed, not to mention the Magic Resonance Stone that was worth a thousand standard tubes in the distant future.
It was no wonder that in order to learn a magic trick, an ordinary college student might spend a semester or even a year accumulating resources.
Apart from the Origin Substance, his gray-white Scale Bar was also rapidly rising. Before he knew it, it had already reached 35.7%. However, he knew that once it reached 50%, the speed would drop drastically. Naturally, he wasn't as excited as he had been before.
The tenth level was the highest level among the lower levels, and it was also a watershed. Countless mechanical enthusiasts would stop at this level for the rest of their lives, unable to advance any further.
This was because in order to advance from the 10th floor to the 11th floor, the required points were at least 5,000!
Furthermore, you have to achieve at least one S rank evaluation on the 10th floor before you can pass.
If he continued to accumulate 5,000 points in the lower levels, he would be able to reach it over time. However, it was extremely difficult to get an S rank evaluation.
After all, there were very few people who could obtain an S-rank evaluation on the lower floors, let alone the tenth floor, which was the most difficult floor.
After learning about this standard, Wei Linlin basically gave up on the idea of going further. Her strength was limited. Even if she wanted to go to a higher level, she was afraid that she would have to wait a year before challenging again.
Without any motivation, she turned her gaze to Li Xiang. If it was him, would it be possible for him to reach the 11th floor?
In the center of the 10th floor, there was also a giant countdown screen: 231 hours, 23 minutes, and 10 seconds.
Before he knew it, Li Xiang had already spent nearly six hours here. He felt a little hungry, so he headed straight for the resting area and rested for a while in a restaurant.
When she saw that he wasn't taking advantage of the time to participate in the competition, Wei Linlin gritted her teeth angrily. She could only go and earn some points first. Her current points had just broken through the 1,000 mark, and she was still far from 5,000. She spotted a booth related to firearms and dashed over.
When he saw Wei Linlin leave through the glass wall of the restaurant, Li Xiang chuckled softly.
A worn out steam wine cup, a steam lamp that was about to malfunction, a steam turbine that was completely intact …
Li Xiang's gaze swept across the restaurant one by one. Countless densely packed rows of steam characters appeared in his eyes, including the durability and internal structure of these mechanical devices. As long as he wanted to, he could clearly see them.
With this ability, he could effectively use his X-ray vision to understand the structure of a mechanical device. Li Xiang observed with great interest. He could also obtain a certain amount of grayish-white liquid from his observations, but the amount was almost negligible. Most of it came from his interest in observing.
At this moment, his gaze swept across a beautiful girl sitting in the corner, and his body suddenly trembled.
Li Xiang quickly calmed his emotions. When he looked at the girl again, she also looked at him curiously. Her intuition was very sharp.
She had long black curly hair and black pupils. She was wearing a red velvet tutu dress with a high brown belt around her waist. It could be said that the luxurious and luxurious European style perfectly set off her delicate face that was like a porcelain doll.
What shocked Li Xiang was that he could see through this beautiful girl's body.
Her delicate skin and perfect body were actually rows and rows of incomparably precise mechanical parts!
"This …" Li Xiang hurriedly averted his gaze, not looking at her. Her intuition was very sharp. It would be bad if he was discovered.
This was the first time he had seen a mechanical type.
After meeting that unreasonable young man from the Bai Family in the city center building, he went to find out more about the so-called Mechanic Church. They applied superb mechanical technology to the human body, combining and reshaping machines and human bodies.
They developed biological weapons and the so-called mechanical type.
This inhumane behavior had always been condemned by the Mechanic Union. Even if it was used to deal with disasters, the idea of making living companions into mechanical puppets was still unacceptable.
Mechanical prosthetics were considered medical, but their research was clearly in the direction of biological weapons. It was extremely cruel, and for the sake of research, they had even killed many civilians and companions.
But so far, the mechanical type was still a concept. They could only make semi-mechanical human mechanical soldiers, and the important body parts could not be replaced.
The so-called mechanical type referred to the perfect combination of humans and machines.
Perfection meant that there was no distinction between you and me.
Just like the beautiful girl in front of him.
She could also have human emotions and thoughts, and at the same time, she had the intelligence and mechanical energy of a machine. If he was not so sensitive to machines, he would not have dared to casually confirm that she was a real mechanical type.
The absolute ban on mechanical type research stemmed from a difference in ideology, which was whether mechanical types belonged to machines or humans.
They had the body and brain of a human, and at the same time, they were created mechanical devices. No matter how they were treated, it was not appropriate. Therefore, this type of research had always been banned.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiang suppressed the throbbing in his heart and secretly glanced at the girl in the corner, only to find that she had been using a spoon to stir the coffee in her cup and looking at him with a smile.
That kind of gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the depths of his heart and see through everything about him.
Li Xiang also noticed that there was a very faint but very familiar mark on the girl's neck — a black diamond.
Wessex Technology Company!
"It's better not to provoke mechanical types." Li Xiang muttered in his heart. If not for his special ability, he definitely would not have been able to discover the girl's true identity. No matter what her purpose was for coming here, it was better for him not to get involved in this kind of illegal matter.
It was this damned feeling that made him feel helpless about this special ability for the first time.
He had an inexplicable natural curiosity toward mechanical devices. He wanted to touch them and use them. It was the same for all mechanical devices.
Li Xiang immediately threw down a few small denominations of Blue Star Coins and left the restaurant. When he turned back, the beautiful girl had already disappeared.
He slowly walked to the booth where Wei Linlin was competing. This was a gun repair spot set up by the military. The reward was very high, and there were many participants.
Wei Linlin was one of the most eye-catching people on the stage. She was young, beautiful, and skilled. She could be considered the perfect goddess in the eyes of these technical geeks.
However, at this moment, she did not have the time to care about the gazes around her. She was troubled by the steam submachine gun on the stage.
The person in charge had clearly told her that there was a problem with this gun, but she could not find the problem. Even after disassembling it, she still could not find the problem. She was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
This is impossible.
She checked it again, but to her annoyance, she still could not find anything.
Li Xiang, who was standing below the stage, glanced around and immediately understood what was troubling Wei Linlin. There were a few gears inside the steam submachine gun that were worn out. This was a very small problem, but mechanical devices were very delicate things. Even the slightest problem could cause the entire device to collapse.
Therefore, quality was more important than anything else in mechanical devices. A mechanical device made by an excellent machinist would not have the problem of parts being damaged even when it reached the end of its life. Normally, only low-quality defective products would have problems.
However, the low price made most people scramble for them. After all, they could still gamble on their luck, right?
The position of the gears was very inconspicuous, but it would cause the cylinder to jam due to wear and tear. In order to discover this problem, one must first have a very thorough understanding of firearms. If he had not studied so many theoretical books, he would not have discovered it. Secondly, one must have an extraordinary eyesight like him to find the root of the problem.
Mechanical repair was like a doctor treating a patient. It was very dependent on skill.
After trying a few more times, Wei Linlin finally gave up. She walked down from the stage with a depressed face. She lowered her head, but suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder.
"You, you …" Wei Linlin's eyes widened, and she could not close her mouth. Li Xiang's sudden appearance made her unable to react.
"After following me for so long, I feel that it is time to say hello." Li Xiang smiled. "After all, I will be going up in a while. There is a high chance that you will not be able to go up. Before I leave, I still want to know why Miss Wei is following me."
Wei Linlin's cheeks turned red. She stuttered and did not say anything. However, her stomach failed to live up to her expectations and growled.
