Mecha Knowledge

A moment later, Zhong Li handed Su Ming and Warren two bracelet-like pendants.

"These are your identity tokens. They have many functions, so feel free to try them out!" Zhong Li said with a smile.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. I've left my contact information in the tokens, so you can reach me if anything comes up!"

After saying that, Zhong Li closed the door and left Su Ming and Warren's dormitory.

Su Ming and Warren exchanged glances. Warren's face lit up with excitement, and he took out his identity token to examine it.

"I heard you can exchange for mechas in the Merit System. Let me see..." Warren said excitedly.

Hearing Warren's words, Su Ming suddenly reacted and quickly picked up his identity token to look at it.

The bracelet had four main functions.

[Quests], [Merit System], [Contacts], [Emergency].

The four functions were clear at a glance.

Su Ming was more interested in the Merit System, so he clicked on it to check.

Instantly, lines of exchange options appeared before Su Ming.

There were a lot of them, and the variety was very complete.

Potions, mechanical parts, daily necessities, cultivation methods, knowledge blueprints, and so on, everything was available. You could even use merit points to post tasks in the task system.

In addition to these functions, there were also the spatial teleportation and spatial storage functions that Locke had used in front of Su Ming before.

Any item exchanged would be teleported over through the spatial teleportation function in a very short period.

This ensured the privacy of the soldiers' exchanges while providing very convenient logistics.

Su Ming's expression shifted, and he clicked on the Knowledge Blueprint option in the Merit System.

Immediately, all sorts of knowledge appeared before Su Ming.

[Planet Level Duan Family Disassembly Method]

[Star Level Pattern Initial Interpretation]

[Magnetic Circuit System Assembly Method]

And so on. They were all integrated mechanical knowledge compiled by mechanical masters of different schools.

There was even knowledge from Star Cluster level and Galaxy level mechanics, which were beyond Star level.

It was simply a mechanical knowledge base!

Although Su Ming could now assemble Star level mechas and was proficient with Planet level mechanics, these varied techniques and methods still held some reference value for him and weren't entirely useless.

After all, Su Ming's mechanical knowledge, to put it simply, was gradually deduced from seeing a large number of mechanical parts from the Kellen Family.

Although he had his own understanding and style, learning the mainstream mechanical knowledge of interstellar society would allow him to achieve a comprehensive understanding.

It would undoubtedly be helpful to him!

Su Ming was thrilled. It was like a gamer who loved playing games suddenly being offered a hundred of their favorite skins.

Of course, they would spend money!

Su Ming was in a similar state now. Purchasing this knowledge was equivalent to communicating with the masters who wrote these knowledge systems. He had to spend money if he wanted it!

However... the "money" in the Merit System was merit points!

Each piece of knowledge required a large number of merit points to exchange.

If Su Ming wanted to exchange for this knowledge, he would have to earn merit points honestly.

At this moment, Su Ming vaguely regretted his actions.

He had lost out because he hadn't understood the importance of merit points before and had vaguely agreed to Locke's request.

Now that it was done and the repair was complete, Su Ming felt awkward about asking Locke for merit points again.

Su Ming gave a wry smile.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly heard an exclamation from Warren beside him.

"My goodness, mecha knowledge and blueprints are so expensive!"

Hearing Warren's words, Su Ming showed a surprised expression and immediately shifted his gaze down to the mecha knowledge.

[Wasp-Type Basic Flight Mecha X1]

Type: Knowledge + Blueprint

Required Merit Points: 80,000

Minimum Driving Brain Domain Level Required: 3000 points.

[Humanoid E-Class Advanced Mecha]

Type: Knowledge + Blueprint

Required Merit Points: 150,000

Minimum Required Brain Domain Level for Piloting: 4000 points.

Su Ming was startled upon seeing these two models.

These two mechas could be considered very basic models, almost the entry-level mechas for anyone wanting to learn about mecha knowledge.

But he hadn't expected that even these basic models would require so many Merit Points.

Su Ming had previously seen the prices of missions in the mission hall.

Ordinary missions, even if successfully completed, only yielded a few hundred Merit Points. Higher-level missions might grant more, but still only a few thousand points at most.

Judging by these figures, it was impossible to tell how long it would take to accumulate enough Merit Points to afford even the knowledge for one mecha.

Su Ming took a deep breath.

"This... is unavoidable..."

After all, mecha knowledge was currently the most core knowledge of every nation. It wasn't even allowed to circulate on the market.

It was a precious knowledge with no price on the market, and could only be acquired through illegal channels or special official permits.

Private individuals couldn't freely buy or sell it!

Exchanging it within the Merit System was one of the officially permitted avenues.

Purchasing it through the Merit System meant it would be officially recorded, and if similar mechas were assembled in one's possession in the future, the authorities wouldn't cause trouble.

Su Ming took another deep breath and moved his gaze downwards again, preparing to see just how expensive the highest-level mecha models were...

[Glory S-Class Nuclear Mecha]

Type: Knowledge + Blueprints

Required Merit Points: 20,000,000

Minimum Piloting Energy Level Required: 400,000 points

Upon seeing the introduction for this mecha, Su Ming's eyes turned red.

If he remembered correctly, his cheap old man, Kellen Clarence, the head of the Kellen Family, piloted this series of mechas, didn't he?

However, the mecha his cheap old man piloted was more advanced and powerful than this one.

It seemed to be the [Glory SSS-Class Ultimate Mecha].

Thinking of this, Su Ming felt a wave of helplessness.

"Well, there's still a long way to go to catch up to the Kellen Family."

He hadn't even seen a shadow of a mecha yet, let alone an ultimate model!

Su Ming shook his head and decided to start working his way up from the most basic mecha models.

What Su Ming didn't know was... that not long from now, his name would become widely known throughout the spaceship.

And all of this would begin with the Mechanical Battle Saber he casually modified for Locke.

At this moment... Locke was standing with several soldiers, holding a brand-new Mechanical Battle Saber in his hand.

"Mission target: Muta Planet. Invasion by cosmic space life. Requesting aid from the Empire. Mission difficulty... Level Four, Low Grade. Everyone, let's set off for Muta Planet now!"

A soldier with a powerful aura standing next to Locke spoke calmly.

The others nodded in succession and boarded a small spaceship.

The next moment... the small spaceship detached from the main ship and sped towards an unremarkable planet.
