[Number 0, go to the yard]
With a thought, Lu Li gave the order, and the Terminator acted just like a normal person.
"Number 0" is its new name, which is quite commemorative.
It has the most advanced "harmonic reducer" for shock absorption, making its steps light and its movements precise. It opens the door and walks into the yard like an ordinary person.
Lu Li focused his mind to form a wall in front of him, and mentally commanded: [Attack]
Following the instincts of the human subconscious, "Number 0" swung his fists and smashed them wildly.
[Stop, jump!]
Upon hearing its master's command, "Number 0" immediately jumped up, leaping half a meter into the air before landing with a "thud".
Lu Li nodded, already understanding the situation:
"The average person's agility and strength aren't particularly exaggerated... Let's test their intelligence next."
Find the M1911 pistol that Jessica used to kill someone, along with the bullets and magazines, and place them on the recliner.
Lu Li had a sudden thought: [He picked up his weapon and fired at his head, torso, and limbs]
"Number 0" immediately stepped forward, picked up a pistol, and fired seven shots at himself.
.
The.45 caliber bullet shattered upon impact with the hard alloy surface, leaving only a few scratches.
Lu Li stepped forward and wiped it clean with his hand.
He was pleased with the Terminator's solidity, but even more astonished by its intelligence:
"Sure, you know how to use weapons... Let's try changing the magazine."
This time, "Number 0" was stunned and at a loss.
Lu Li frowned. "Can't it perform any complex movements? Its intelligence is too low; we need to inject more Divine Soul into it."
This is also mentioned in the book "Spirit Binding and General Dispatch"—the more complex the puppet, the more complex its movements, the more Divine Soul support it needs.
Lu Li reached out and pinched a ball of pale blue light the size of an orange from the Kunlun Mirror, then sent it into the Terminator's brow.
This was Wang Siqi's [Meditative Entry] level Divine Soul, which was completely absorbed by the cold, silvery-gray metal in the blink of an eye.
The two dark blue pupils of "Number 0" suddenly brightened, becoming even more profound.
Lu Li immediately felt that the spiritual connection between them had deepened! It felt as if they could control each other perfectly!
Recalling the action of "changing the magazine," "Number 0" also neatly and efficiently changed the magazine on his pistol.
"Interesting! You've connected with me mentally; you can learn from me!"
Lu Li was very curious and threw a whip punch.
Using the "spherical gear" joints made of cemented carbide, "Number 0" delivered a metal punch with far greater power than before.
However, this is only explosive power; the increase in the body's inherent strength is not significant.
Lu Li recalled the contents of <Spirit Binding and General Dispatch> and quickly found the answer— the Divine Soul could only make the puppet more intelligent and agile.
The most direct way to increase power is to rely on the master's dedication and attention!
Lu Li's eyes narrowed as he poured his mind into the puppet's alloy body.
At this moment, a faint blue light suddenly emanated from the forehead and heart of "Number 0," continuously absorbing the mind of its master.
A minute later, after focusing nearly half of his mental energy, Lu Li finally stopped.
The strange phenomena on "Number 0" slowly subsided, but its clenched fists were so tight that the hard alloy was cracking and making a "crackling" sound!
Lu Li gestured with his chin toward the "Raptor" in the garage, and "Number 0" immediately ran over, lifting one side of the pickup truck off the ground by using the bumper!
"Ha, the same 3000-pound force, just like my mindset~"
Thus, the Terminator, invulnerable to blades and bullets, possessing immense strength and proficient in weapon use, was finally complete!
Lu Li felt invigorated and let out a long sigh of relief.
Just then, the sound of a car parking at the door came from outside; Jessica and Teresa were coming home from school.
~~~~~~~~~~
The black armored Mercedes was parked at the gate as always.
The two girls got out of the car, but the driver followed them into the villa.
The driver was an old acquaintance, a gun dealer... oh no, I should say an arms dealer— Aurora.
She was dressed in a suit and tie, and even wore sunglasses. Lu Li almost didn't recognize her.
"Wow, nice villa!"
Aurora took off her sunglasses, looked at the mansion, and whistled.
"Your suit looks good too." Lu Li was just looking for her when he stepped forward to greet her, "Was the surgery successful?"
Aurora slapped her thigh and said, "With the added Titanium alloy, it feels even better than the original."
Titanium has excellent biocompatibility, making it the best metal for human implantation.
The group entered the villa together, Teresa introduced the various features as they walked:
"Ms. Aurora is now employed by my mother as the head of security."
Lu Li wasn't surprised at all; he could tell just by looking at the other person's suit.
Jessica exclaimed excitedly, "Ms. Aurora is also going to teach us some military skills! Lu Li ~ I want to be a female warrior ~"
Having many skills is never a bad thing, which is generally a good thing, but there's a reason for it.
Teresa said seriously, "The election is getting closer, and drug lords are becoming more and more reckless. We need some means of self-protection."
Teresa looked regretful and said to Jessica:
"I'm the drug lord's target. For your safety, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other as often."
Jessica was a little sad; Teresa was gentle and kind, a rare friend.
Lu Li, who was looking to test the Terminator's combat capabilities, asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"What do you want to do?" Aurora looked Lu Li up and down, her face full of curiosity.
She had always wondered why Ms. Maria valued the boy so much.
When Teresa saw Lu Li volunteer, she was immediately excited—this was a great opportunity to test and prove his abilities!
She said respectfully, "It would be wonderful if you could help."
"Just tell me the most challenging and difficult task."
"Thank you very much. Please wait a moment while I consult my mother."
Aurora grew increasingly astonished as she listened to their conversation!
Lu Li with such arrogance, yet Teresa thought it was perfectly normal?
"I'd like to see what you're capable of."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teresa contacted her mother and began to communicate.
Lu Li didn't pay much attention; the next step was simply to wipe out a drug lord's armed force, something he was already quite familiar with.
After a while, Teresa came over and handed her phone to Lu Li.
It was Ms. Maria on the other end of the phone, and she said solemnly:
[Lu Li, hello, I need your help with a tricky matter.]
"Speaking."
The Tijuana team has been bribed by drug cartels and has kidnapped and murdered several government officials. I believe they have my eye on me.
Dealing with the SWAT team was somewhat unexpected.
Lu Li also recalled that he and Jessica had been attacked by SWAT teams, who had become accomplices of drug lords.
They will be training at the base tonight. Please do not let anyone escape, especially the captain! We must not give him the opportunity to defect.
Ms. Maria personally provided the information, and added:
[If you need anything, just ask Aurora. She's the person I trust most.]
"Yes, ma'am, leave it to me."
Lu Li hung up the phone and found Aurora looking at him with a strange expression.
"Kid, what kind of assistance do you need? I can provide you with long-range fire support; I used to be Marine Corps sniper..."
All I need is your... sunglasses, that's all.
Lu Li took the sunglasses that the other person had clipped to their pocket.
"You only want this?"
Aurora paused for a moment, then solemnly reminded him:
"The special police team has over a hundred members, all of whom are battle-hardened elite soldiers. They succumbed to temptation and fell into depravity!"
"Thank you for reminding me. Excuse me for a moment."
Lu Li got up and left the living room.
Aurora opened her mouth, but seeing that Teresa and Jessica were both calm, she didn't say anything more.
