Upgrade Plan

"Are you pursuing defense?"

Xie Guangyao nodded, neither belittling nor looking down on Luo Yan because of his unconventional behavior.

"Then, let's use the ' Xuan Gui ' as the core of the ' Super Core Matrix '."

"The Xuan Gui is characterized by its Thick Armor, Earth Dive, Water Control, and ability to Poisonous Fog."

"Even if the first feature of the ' Super Core Matrix ' isn't ' Thick Armor,' obtaining other behemoth features is still worthwhile."

"Then, regarding the upgrade of the outer armor, since the goal is high defense, then armor made from the shell of Xuan Gui is the most suitable option."

"Furthermore, the Xuan Gui Armor boasts exceptional strength, rigidity, and sealing."

"After changing the outer armor, your mech can operate and fight in deep water. If the ' Super Core Matrix ' gains the ' Water Control ' trait, your mech can even travel to ocean trenches."

Xie Guangyao took out a tablet computer and used the upgrade template on it to simulate the upgrade.

"Furthermore, with the addition of armor, the weight of the mech will inevitably increase."

"Furthermore, since your secondary requirement is to increase the mech's kinetic energy and power, the Energy Core and engine will definitely need to be replaced as well, otherwise they won't be able to meet your needs."

"By the way, what's your budget?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Regarding work points, I can use 7 million."

"In terms of Credit Points, I can invest 3000 points."

Xie Guangyao, whose hair was thinning, was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "That makes things simple."

"Wait a minute."

He picked up the tablet and started typing away.

While tapping, he said to himself, "Replace the Energy Core with the ' Dragon's Heart '? Hmm, no, we can go even further and replace it with the ' Mad Dragon Heart MAX '."

"This Energy Core has a stable output and enormous power; it can be used up to the 'God Guardian' level."

"As for the engine, well, let's use the ' White Aurora Enhanced Edition '. One set will be usable up to the 'God Guardian' class."

"Arms."

"With the increased power, it would be too stingy not to upgrade some weapon components."

"The Divine Might Rifle can continue to be used as standard equipment, but adding a main cannon would be more appropriate for the new Energy Core."

"Let me see."

"Let's choose this one."

"The Hyperion Heavy Mortar can fire long-range ballistic missiles. While it has limited effectiveness against high-level behemoths, it can cripple or damage mid- to low-level behemoths with just a few shots."

"It didn't cost much, and the price-performance ratio is quite good."

"As for melee weapons, let's switch to the Heavy Grade Weapon ' Po Jun '."

"This is a longsword forged from the horn of a 'rhinoceros,' with top-notch armor-piercing capabilities."

"Calculated this way..."

"That's over 7 million, plus the Credit Points..."

"Barely acceptable"

"Luckily, ' Super Core Matrix ' is free, but it's still not enough."

"Oh, right."

Xie Guangyao looked at Luo Yan: "You still have a Giant Beast Core in the Exploration Corps, could you sell it?"

Luo Yan nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

Xie Guangyao slapped his thigh. "Then there's no problem."

He handed the tablet to Luo Yan.

"Take a look, this is the upgrade plan I designed for you."

"Configure the ' Xuan Gui ' core and matrix."

"Paired with the ' Mad Dragon Heart MAX ' Energy Core and the ' White Aurora Enhanced Edition ' engine."

"The outer armor has been completely replaced with ' Xuan Gui Armor,' and a ' Hyperion Heavy Mortar ' has been added. The original chain sword has been replaced with the Heavy Grade Weapon ' Po Jun ' one-handed sword."

"Core and matrix are free."

"The rest, the whole set will cost quite a bit."

"But you're willing to sell the core of the Exploration Corps."

"In that case, besides the 7 million work points, you only need to deduct 1800 Credit Points."

Luo Yan took a look.

Although I feel bad about spending the money.

But she still agreed, saying, "Please upgrade my grade, teacher, and deduct the work points and Credit Points from my account."

Xie Guangyao stood up. "Okay, that's settled then."

"Once your mech is upgraded, it will be an ' Advanced Mecha '. The next upgrade will make it a 'Divine Guardian'."

"However, I must warn you that the higher the level of the mecha, the more expensive the maintenance and consumable costs will be. You should be prepared."

"If you can't find a way to make money, then ask for sponsorship."

"You probably have quite a few people who want to sponsor you; they should be coming to you in the next couple of days."

Luo Yan didn't respond, but instead asked, "When can the upgrade be completed?"

Xie Guangyao chuckled and said, "The Energy Core and such only require replacement and installation."

"It's not a big problem."

"The main change is the replacement of the outer armor."

"All things considered, the upgrade and debugging will take at least ten days."

"I will notify you once the upgrade is complete."

Luo Yan stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Xie."

After leaving the Mecha Upgrade Warehouse, Luo Yan's lips slowly curled into a smile.

finally.

He finally owned his own mech.

Furthermore, it can be upgraded to Advanced Mecha in about ten days.

They skipped the 'intermediate' stage.

The thought alone is exciting.

But then I thought about maintenance and all the associated costs.

Luo Yan also felt that the money was going too quickly.

I knew upgrading would cost so much money.

We should have stolen more mechs while we were in the Forbidden Land area.

That opportunity no longer exists.

We can only place our hopes on Yang Lixie's Medicinal Materials collection company.

It was afternoon.

Luo Yan had just finished his cultivation and stepped out of the Training Hall when Wei Fenghua stopped him.

Wei Fenghua coughed twice and handed a pile of invitations and name cards to Luo Yan.

"These are some companies or individuals in the city who need to use mechs for various purposes."

"But we don't have the authority to purchase mechs, so we can only sponsor students who own mechs but whose financial situation is not good through this method."

"If you agree to sponsor it, then they will cover part of the cost of the mecha during your time at school."

"After you graduate, you will need to prioritize serving these businesses and individuals."

"Of course, there's a time limit."

"In short, they were able to resolve some of the problems that the Mech Master encountered in the early stages."

"You can decide whether to accept the sponsorship based on your own circumstances."

Luo Yan nodded.

Although I didn't intend to accept the sponsorship, I still brought the items over.

Wei Fenghua inquired about Luo Yan's cultivation progress before leaving.

Guangling City.

At Wu Changqing's home.

Several days have passed.

Regarding the deaths of Wu Changqing and his wife.

The local Local Security Bureau in the area where the Wu Family resides was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation.

The investigators from the Local Security Bureau have been living at the Wu residence for the past few days.

evening.

Several investigators are still working at Wu's residence.

Sudden.

A Security Department vehicle arrived in front of the Wu residence.

The car door opened.

A person came down from inside.

Male, with messy hair like seaweed, bloodshot eyes, and a cold gaze.

He was wearing a long robe full of holes, and underneath the robe seemed to be many bottles and jars.

It makes a constant clanging and banging sound when it walks.
