Su Ming's sense of urgency affected Warren as well.
Seeing Su Ming close the job-acceptance window, Warren did not hesitate either and closed the window before him along with Su Ming.
Warren then consciously entered a state of cultivation.
The war... Although it was only in the news,
it was very close to the two of them. Even Warren could faintly sense that something was wrong.
He glanced at Su Ming and found that Su Ming was still focused on assembling the mecha, completely undistracted.
A trace of envy appeared on Warren's face.
Su Ming possessed an ability that allowed him to enter a state of concentration instantly. It was not some ability with a specific outward manifestation.
But for a mechanic, being able to enter that state instantly was something countless people could only envy.
Warren sighed as he looked at the more than ten thousand merit points in his Merit System.
There was a huge difference between his income and Su Ming's. Su Ming had long since accumulated enough merit points to exchange for Mechanical Knowledge, but Warren had not even saved up a tenth of that amount.
Looking at the more than ten thousand merit points in the system, Warren gritted his teeth. He then made a bold decision: temporarily give up on Mechanical Knowledge and exchange these merit points for Mechanical Knowledge.
Nearly all the high-level Mechanical Knowledge he possessed had come from Su Ming.
Warren knew clearly that if he continued relying on Su Ming's guidance, he would never go far on the path of mechanics.
He had to learn Mechanical Knowledge beyond what Su Ming taught him and carve out a different path from Su Ming's. Only then could he go farther in the future!
Compared with that, although the mecha was tempting, he would first improve his mechanical skill step by step before worrying about anything else.
Without hesitation, Warren exchanged all his points for a large amount of Planet-level and Star-level Mechanical Knowledge. He then opened the material and buried himself in study.
Su Ming and Warren both entered a state similar to seclusion without any prior discussion.
As a result, the soldiers who came to have their mechanical components repaired over the past two days were turned away and could only leave Su Ming and Warren's dormitory in annoyance.
On the afternoon of the second day after the spaceship encountered the Cosmic Dragon Turtle, a powerful energy-level reaction suddenly erupted from Su Ming's dormitory.
The passing soldiers could not help turning their curious gazes toward Su Ming's dormitory.
"Little Master Su Ming, are you all right?"
A soldier who was familiar with Su Ming poked his head out and asked curiously.
Just then, Warren poked his head out of the dormitory and cheerfully said to the concerned soldiers nearby, "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong. Su Ming has been in seclusion these past two days to break through his realm. He just failed to control himself when breaking through, which caused that energy-level fluctuation. There's no need to worry!"
After hearing Warren's words, understanding dawned on the soldiers' faces. One after another, they smiled and said, "As expected of a genius mechanic, Little Master Su Ming can repair our mechanical equipment while breaking through at the same time. Truly amazing!"
"No wonder Little Master Su Ming hasn't accepted any jobs these past two days. It turns out he was breaking through!"
Warren scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh before pulling his head back inside and restoring the dormitory to private mode.
The soldiers passing by could not help laughing when they saw this, then walked away as though nothing had happened.
After Warren shut off the dormitory's external display functions, he retreated into the room and let out a quiet sigh of relief as he looked toward Su Ming.
The room was a complete mess. It looked as though a powerful force had wreaked havoc throughout it.
The culprit responsible for all this was the mecha standing in the center, radiating powerful energy-level fluctuations!
Energy-level fluctuations constantly emanated from the mecha, making the entire room seem as though it were being battered by a raging storm. Terrifying waves of energy swept through the room, sending its objects flying to the sides.
Warren looked at the mecha with a strange expression.
He had never imagined that at the instant a mecha was successfully assembled, it would seem to gain life, possessing a unique "breathing sensation" of its own.
Wave after wave of energy-level fluctuations radiated from the mecha, as though it were celebrating its acquisition of life.
"This is unbelievable... If I weren't looking with my own eyes, I'd think this was a living person with its own life, thoughts, and breathing!"
"So this is what it feels like to successfully assemble a mecha... Su Ming, you created life! Huh? Su Ming? Su Ming..."
Warren muttered to himself, then excitedly called out to Su Ming.
However... to his astonishment... Su Ming had actually closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in front of the mecha.
If one looked closely... one would discover that Su Ming's breathing frequency was actually identical to the frequency at which the mecha's energy level flashed!
The two seemed to have become connected through some means, even the flashing of their energy levels becoming synchronized.
Moreover, the aura surrounding Su Ming was gradually growing denser.
His energy level began to rise dramatically.
"What's going on?"
Warren was startled and stared at Su Ming in disbelief.
This was simply too strange for Warren.
The ice-cold mecha had actually formed a connection with Su Ming.
This connection resembled the resonance between beast tamers and beasts in the Beast God Civilization.
A beast? A mecha?
Those two things had absolutely nothing to do with each other!
Besides, beasts truly possessed life, while a mecha was merely cold machinery!
Just then, Warren suddenly looked sharply toward Su Ming and the mecha.
The auras of the two seemed to be on the verge of reaching their peaks!
"Damn it! Activate defensive mode! Block energy-level detection!" Seeing the change in the two, Warren's expression changed. He then shouted at the system in the room.
"Beep... Defensive mode activated successfully..."
The instant the spaceship system's voice faded, the auras of Su Ming and the mecha reached their peaks.
Terrifying energy instantly erupted from both of them, filling the entire room with an exceptionally violent energy rampage.
Warren could only barely keep himself from being blasted away. With great difficulty, he turned his gaze toward Su Ming.
After Su Ming's aura reached its peak, it gradually withdrew into his body. Even the mecha's aura slowly receded.
Su Ming then slowly opened his eyes.
The divine light in his eyes was like starlight, illuminating the entire room...
