Third-Generation Mechanical Beast

Inside the Mechanical Bureau's testing grounds in Jinxia City.

When the test Mechanical Beast emerged from the assembly workshop, Xia Fan could not help raising an eyebrow. It was clear that although it retained the original two-arm, two-leg design, its overall outline was considerably slimmer than the previous second-generation version. At first glance, this improvement did not look like an enhancement at all, but rather a weakening. After all, thick legs and massive arm shields inspired a great sense of security at a glance, and weight in turn meant stability.

"Was it designed to be lighter?"

"That's right." Mo Yun nodded. "Especially the frame. It used to be pieced together from wood, but now it has been replaced with steel tubing, reducing both volume and weight. We also removed a great deal of unnecessary structural deadweight. If Miss Thought Control had not pointed it out, I would never have known those things were redundant designs from the start."

As she said this, Mo Yun cocked a brow and shot Xia Fan a glare.

He could only turn his head aside and give an awkward laugh.

After all, the system would not understand why a robot needed horns growing from its body.

Besides, Xia Fan could only be called a half-baked amateur when it came to mechanical design. Now that professionals had stepped in, his old designs were clearly rather outdated.

"But that isn't the greatest improvement. You'll see it soon enough." Mo Yun suddenly smiled sweetly, making even her earlier glare seem somewhat charming. "Keep your eyes wide open. Don't miss it—"

As her words fell, the Mechanical Beast moved.

The instant it took its first step, Xia Fan was already dumbfounded. The test machine had completely shed its previous mechanical sluggishness and moved as smoothly as an ordinary person
