Body Tempering

Warren's eyes snapped open, filled with joy.

"Su Ming, I've become a Gene Warrior! Oh my god, does that mean I can pilot a Mecha in the future too?!"

Warren exclaimed excitedly, then stretched out his hands and made a few casual gestures. As he swung them, there was a hint of power behind his movements.

Su Ming chuckled from the side, "This is just the beginning! The weakest Mecha has the combat power of a Star level, and you're only just Surface level right now. You'll have to slowly improve!"

Warren grinned, playfully saying, "It's okay, there's plenty of time. Gene Warriors live much longer than ordinary people, and I'm also a Mechanic. The probability of me becoming a Mecha Warrior in the future is very high!"

Hearing Warren's words, Su Ming slowly nodded.

A Mechanic combined with a Gene Warrior would almost certainly become a Mecha Warrior in the future.

The reason not every Gene Warrior became a Mecha Warrior, besides the Brain Domain Level factor, was largely related to whether the Gene Warrior was also a Mechanic.

For a powerful Mecha Warrior, the Mecha must be assembled by themselves. Firstly, for a perfect fit, and secondly, if they let others help assemble the Mecha, it would be easy for them to discover weaknesses in the Mecha. If the assembling Mechanic wanted to target this person, they would likely be killed in an instant.

So, unless it was a standard-issue Mecha, powerful Mecha Warriors were almost all Mechanics!

Conversely... if he was already a skilled Mechanic now, Warren's chances of becoming a Mecha Warrior in the future would indeed be very high!

Seeing that Warren's excitement was gradually cooling down, Su Ming pondered for a moment and then said to Warren, "Warren, I'm planning to leave Planet Nop!"

Warren, who had been immersed in the joy of becoming a Gene Warrior, was suddenly startled by Su Ming's words.

"What? You're leaving Planet Nop? Why?"

Warren looked confused.

Su Ming chuckled and then said, "Planet Nop is too low-level, after all. It's a Surface level planet, and the Mechanical Parts I encounter are also Surface level. For me, the improvement is no longer significant. I want to go to Planet level or even higher-level planets!"

Su Ming wasn't lying.

The previous Sea Blue Star incident had already given him the idea of leaving Planet Nop.

The catalyst wasn't the Sea Blue Star People, but that Sniper Rifle.

Only after assembling the Sniper Rifle did Su Ming realize how much Planet level Mechanical Parts could improve him.

Moreover, assembling Planet level weapons brought considerable Starlight Points. The Starlight Points gained from assembling one Planet level weapon were enough to match the Starlight Points gained from assembling five Surface level weapons.

Now, as Su Ming's Energy Level increased, his need for Starlight Points during cultivation had also greatly increased.

Before, assembling Surface level weapons could still meet his Starlight Points needs, but now... it clearly couldn't satisfy Su Ming's cultivation needs anymore.

Therefore... Su Ming had this idea at this moment.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Warren was silent for a long time, then looked up and said to Su Ming, "Su Ming, why don't I come with you! Anyway, now that I've become a Gene Warrior, according to Imperial law, I don't have to serve mandatory service on a logistics planet anymore. I'll go with you!"

Su Ming was stunned. Warren's choice was unexpected.

Then Su Ming looked deeply at Warren. Seeing the determined look in Warren's eyes, he knew this wasn't an impulsive decision.

Su Ming thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In the future, he would indeed need a helper to handle some of the trivial mechanical disassembly and assembly tasks, and he now considered Warren a friend.

He naturally wouldn't refuse Warren's request!

"It's settled then. Let's pack up first, and we'll leave Planet Nop together in three days!"

Su Ming said to Warren with a smile.

That evening, Su Ming returned to his dormitory and stored some Mechanical Parts he usually bought for practice into his spatial pendant. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed.

It had been more than a week since the Sea Blue Star incident. During this week, Su Ming had been more diligent than usual in disassembling and reassembling machines.

It wasn't for so-called work, but mainly to accumulate Starlight Points.

After using up all his Starlight Points in one go, Su Ming immediately realized their immense importance. Now that he was preparing to leave Planet Nop, Su Ming had also prepared a large amount of Starlight Points for emergencies.

400 points!

This was the amount of Starlight Points Su Ming had obtained after frantically assembling machines, enough for him to use for a long time.

But today, besides his daily cultivation, Su Ming looked at his System panel, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Starlight Points had another function, besides cultivation and attack, that Su Ming hadn't paid much attention to before...

Body Tempering!

Before, Su Ming's Energy Level was lower, and he had mainly focused his Starlight Points and energy on cultivating techniques.

But now that Su Ming couldn't achieve a qualitative leap in his Energy Level in a short period, he had gradually noticed the Body Tempering function.

[Host Body Tempering Level: Level 1 (Next level Body Tempering requires 100 Starlight Points)]

This was the information about Su Ming's Body Tempering progress within the System.

Su Ming showed a hint of confusion.

In the current interstellar society, there was no such thing as Body Tempering. Su Ming hadn't even heard of any expert who practiced Body Tempering.

This might be due to the different cultivation frameworks and systems of gene evolution in interstellar society.

Interstellar society generally believed that as the Physical Level increased, the body's resistance and cell hardness would also improve, so Body Tempering was unnecessary.

As a matter of fact, countless detection instruments had long since discovered that as the energy level increased, all aspects of the body's quality would also improve.

Just like a surface-level weapon, without infusing it with brain domain energy, it would be impossible to harm a level 4 or higher Gene Warrior.

Since an increase in energy level could also improve the physical body, why bother with Body Tempering?

This was also something Su Ming had always been confused about.

Su Ming didn't hesitate and directly spent 100 Starlight Points from the System to exchange for the Body Tempering option.

"Beep... Host has exchanged for the Body Tempering option, consuming 100 Starlight Points. Body Tempering in progress..."

Soon, Su Ming felt a dense surge of starlight erupting from a deep space within his body, instantly flowing to every corner of his physique.

Su Ming's expression showed a hint of nervousness.

100 Starlight Points was no joke; it was a terrifying amount of energy capable of instantly killing a level 5 Gene Warrior with a single blow.

Previously, just releasing it from his own body had almost made him explode.

Now that it was all pouring into his body, would the same situation occur again?
