Chapter 11: The Dying Swamp

"So you're drunk outside...... And then a day of fainting? Sam said incredulously, "This ...... Do you drink? ”

Edward sneered, "I learned it the other day." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

An interrogation is being staged in the 309 dormitory for Edward's nightly homelessness, Anthony strongly suspects that Edward took this opportunity to go out and get his sister-in-law, Lin Jue has no doubts, and Sam strongly suspects that Edward has been kidnapped.

"How can you do this kind of thing without calling the brothers?" Anthony stroked his flowing green hair, "How can you afford to eat if you run into a girl?" Let's go together, it's night......"

"Enough, what about your game when you drink every day? I'm going to hand in the preliminary works in two days," Lin Jue said coldly on the top bunk, "Arthur too, although you have been doing so much recently, you shouldn't let yourself fall ......"

"Lin, I want to do morning exercises with you, is that okay?" Edward interrupted Lin Jue's words very sincerely, "I know what you mean, and I plan to do the same. ”

"But you may not be able to hold on, I ...... A lot of exercise. After a little hesitation, Lin Jue still nodded, and said with some embarrassment, "And I'll get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, this ......"

"I'll do my best," Edward smiled, exercising was a must, he had to have the physical fitness of a martial artist, it was about how long he could control his robots, and how accurate he was with them, as well as his level of attunement, "Call me tomorrow morning." ”

"I want to go too...... But I definitely can't get up," Sam said with some regret, and then threw a few virtual folders into Edward's smartwatch, "Now, Ed, this is the video of yesterday's lecture, and the homework that was sent, you can take a look." ”

“OK~”

"Arthur, don't you know, when you were drinking, there was a genius fighter in our school, and he challenged King Kong in the Tiger Roar Arena in the first battle, and almost defeated his opponent......" Anthony began to brag about his daily braggadocio practice again, "Heh, if I hadn't been in tune for the first time, I would be a scu......m like King Kong."

Edward and Semu looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Jue, who was lying on the top bunk looking at the analysis diagram of the composition, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth......"

I don't know why, Edward looked at Sam's caring eyes, listened to Anthony's words in different dimensions, and felt Lin Jue's sincerity inadvertently, Edward couldn't tell them the truth.

He was not drunk, but fainted after falling into the death shield; He is the son of the Red Emperor, and he wants to be the strongest fighter to question the man who is unparalleled in the world; Myself...... Prepare to leave the mechanics department, become a member of the martial arts department, and leave them.

He couldn't say anything.

So Edward opened the homework of the mechanical department for the past two days, a small paper on the history of mechanical beasts, everyone's guess analysis of King Kong's last move, and a virtual assembly of anti-gravity devices...... It's very simple, Teacher Dinah really cares about practical things.

Add one more item, "Construct Composition of the New Mech," and that's tonight's task.

……

……

"Good hole cards, but I'm sorry...... Good bye. ”

King Kong spun suddenly, spun rapidly, and then leaped to his feet! The Iron Arm formed a storm of death in the air that could destroy everything...... Bang!!!

Is that...... The sound of Atlantis being overtaken by Iron Fist!

"Hah!" Edward awoke from his dream, and in the darkness there was only the sound of Anthony's snoring.

As soon as his body was cold, Edward realized that his clothes were all soaked with sweat.

"Is it a dream......

Are you really so afraid of death? Edward covered his face with his hands, and without looking in the mirror he knew how distorted his expression would be, and even when he woke up, he didn't feel much different from the one he had just come out of the colossal chamber of the gladiatorial arena.

"......" Edward lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, but could not sleep again.

Edward sat up and turned on the floating projection, and began to look online for something similar to his own situation, and soon he was settled.

"Dying Swamp......" Edward muttered.

The psychological phenomenon that occurs when some fighters trigger death shielding will constantly trigger near-death feelings in their daily lives, and if it worsens, it can even cause the fighter to lose tune or even die...... How could this happen to you? Edward's brow furrowed, turned off the floating projection, and sat silent.

"Are you awake?" I don't know how long it took, Lin Jue's whisper came from the upper bunk on the side, "Let's go, morning exercise." ”

……

……

The next afternoon, Clock Street, Machinery Pupil Machinery Shop.

Arthur ...... You okay? Timo looked at Edward, who was staggering towards him, and said a little speechlessly, "You look ......"

"I said that my roommate runs ten kilometers every morning, do you believe it......" Edward replied with resentment, not only that, Lin Jue's morning exercise also included 200 push-ups, 100 pull-ups and a set of Huaxia boxing techniques that he couldn't understand at all, and he was about to foam at the mouth after running 3 kilometers......

"Woo ......"

"I'm fine, take me to see the wreckage of Atlantis." Edward put away his joking tone and turned to a heavy solemnity, "Even if there are no parts that can be used." ”

"Hmm," Teemo nodded slightly, "it's in our back storage. ”

Standing in front of Atlantis, this time Edward no longer has the feeling that the two are connected, Senior Timo must have helped him assemble it a little, but Edward can also guess what it will be like before by looking at the degree of damage to this body, and he can also imagine what happened to Atlantis's body after he got out.

He deliberately watched the game from a third-person perspective last night, and it was indeed ...... It was wonderful and unexpected.

Edward could even guess the furious face of the driver behind King Kong, and the final turntable slalom punch pressed Atlantis against the protective layer of the gladiatorial arena until it was no longer human, and only stopped if he was not forced out in time...... Edward felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the wreckage of Atlantis and couldn't help but think about how it felt.

It hurts.

It's really unfair, the manipulator gets out, leaving half of the intelligence in the AI core to feel the pain of death, and then everyone remembers the name of the fighter, but the AI core is abandoned, and the new core replaces the original name...... It's like betraying this organism.

Edward stroked the polished blue armor, pulled off a relatively intact piece of armor with his hand, and stood up.

"Senior Timo, please take me to build my second mech and help me tune in with an AI core again," Edward gripped the heavy piece of armor, "I want a new one. ”

"But," said Temoth, but at last he said, "I have no money now, and you ......"

"I've got money," Edward laughed, "a lot of money." ”

……

……

"Do you inherit your original name?" The cold electronic voice said politely.

The sight of the wreckage of Atlantis flashed before his eyes, and Edward replied, "No." ”

"Please create a new title."

"Blue ...... No, Bruce. (Blues) "Edward opened his eyes," confirming the creation. ”

……

……

The new body Edward is ready to use the deluxe version of the Glamour 5 and the Universal Soldier 3000, which is considered to be an enhancement of the previous body, and the price is basically twice as much as before, but Edward can afford to spend this money, not only that, but he also returned the money he owed to Timo before, in addition, the new build Edward is ready to spend the remaining more than 1 million, and some of them are still in the state of parts that need to be assembled by Edward himself.

He's going to get the strongest body he can do right now.

So, in the evening, when Edward stood in front of his second sight again, his new mech was halfway complete.

The Z-type AI core, a general-purpose soldier 6K template, is equipped with an A-level source system, with alpha crystals as the main energy source, gamma crystals as burst or backup energy, and semi-light armor and semi-energy barrier protection...... The rest is the hidden missile system that Edward, who needs to be a mechanic, to build himself, this time Edward is going to mount the anti-gravity build, and he also needs to repair the dual swords (mechanical sword & lightsaber) that Atlantis has retained.

In fact, it seems that Bruce is basically an enhanced version of Atlantis, not in any direction, but after some minor adjustments, Bruce will eliminate the youthful disobedience of Atlantis as a whole, but have a natural sense of power.

"That's it, Bruce ......" Putting the piece of armor removed from Atlantis on Bruce's chest, Edward stood in front of the robot for a long time.

The battle with King Kong was definitely too arrogant to lead to that result.

As can be seen from the video, King Kong still stopped at first, but in the end, he even wanted to defeat himself regardless of the danger to the life of the opponent's fighter, is there any other explanation?

A magnetic voice came from behind him, "Are you blaming yourself for the scrapping of Atlantis?" ”

Edward turned around and saw an aging face, Mr. Az, the owner of the shop.

"Yes," Edward nodded, "if it weren't for my impulsiveness and provocation, it wouldn't have been like this. ”

"Wrong." The old man stepped forward and patted the armor removed from Atlantis, "The fate of robots is like this, their end is scrapped, but do you think they want to be scrapped in battle, or are they abandoned by their owners after countless repairs?" ”

Edward kept silent.

"Yes, they don't have souls, and the third-generation fighting robots don't even have their own independent AI, but there are always people who like to think of them as separate individuals, and that's not wrong." The old man looked at Edward with a smile, "In that case, you have to think about him, not hide your fears......"

The old man turned to leave: "Fighters are brave, and brave people should not be afraid of death, whether human or mechanical. ”
