Subsequently, under Su Rui's arrangement, the Eunectes led its men to a densely wooded area and gave the instructions:

"Use this area as a center, cut down these trees, and collect the wood; we'll need it later when smelting minerals."

The Eunectes's words had a good effect. Although she didn't explain a clearer plan, her men had already begun enthusiastically cutting down trees according to the area Eunectes had drawn.

'Aren't you going to tell them the plans for later? There are minerals down here, it wouldn't hurt to tell them all at once, would it?'

"There's no need to explain further; they wouldn't understand anyway. It's better to just accept my arrangement," the Eunectes shook its head. "Besides, this way we can avoid any fools trying to steal our things."

"Alright, you're the chief of this tribe, you're in charge." Su Rui didn't say anything more.

"Since the logging here will take some time, we can go back and work on transforming Big Ugly first. See, I didn't lie to you."

The Eunectes nodded. Upon hearing that Big Ugly was to be reformed, she lost all interest in replying to Su Rui. Leaving her men there, she told them, "Pile up the felled trees, don't lose them," before running back to the camp.

"What should we do?" As soon as the Eunectes returned to the camp, she rushed to her Big Ugly friend and asked Su Rui what to do next.

"Please modify it according to my plan first. You'll need to remove the outer shell first, and then modify the internal parts."

As Su Rui spoke, she had already shown the parts that needed to be disassembled to the Eunectes's field of vision.

'By the way, this time we need to install both engines we got from Inam, as well as most of the parts and metal casings, on them.'

"Really? Won't that cost too much? What if it gets Big Ugly and needs repair?"

"With me here, you won't lack money. In any case, we'll definitely be able to get the materials to upgrade this mech."

Su Rui soothed the Eunectes: "I still have quite a few things in my System Space. If it's really necessary, I can take them out to pay for repairs, but there's no need, because we're about to start smelting metal."

The Eunectes nodded. "But why didn't you take out and use the things in the System Space before?"

"Because those things are for emergencies, only suitable for use in dangerous or special situations. If we take them out now, wouldn't they be useless if danger were to occur?"

The Eunectes nodded, put down its shield and axe, picked up its screwdriver and wrench, and began to disassemble the Big Ugly Big Ugly, carefully removing its outer shell and wiring bit by bit.

'Don't worry about losing anything. With me here, the location of everything is clearly marked, so there's absolutely no way it could be lost.'

As Su Rui spoke, she urged the Eunectes:

"Alright, let's move on to the next step. First, we need to remove that fragile engine inside. It's been running for a long time and its power isn't very high. Once removed, it can be installed on other machines immediately."

The Eunectes nodded, carefully unconnecting the pipes to the engine of the Big Ugly, then temporarily removing the parts that were obstructing the engine. Finally, it laboriously lifted the engine out of the Big Ugly and placed it on the ground.

It has to be said that the physical abilities of the Terra are exaggerated. The engine is a huge lump of metal, but the Eunectes managed to move it down all by itself.

"Wait a minute, you still have a few men who haven't gone out yet. Call them over to help."

"I can do it by myself," the Eunectes said defiantly. While she could indeed move the engine off the ground by herself, moving it back up and reinstalling it would be quite difficult.

Su Rui didn't directly expose her, but instead subtly reminded her, "However, an engine is a rather delicate and fragile component. What if you accidentally break it by yourself? Just to be safe, it's best to get a few men to help."

"... Okay, I'll go and call them over."

The Eunectes glanced at the spot marked by Su Rui where its men were resting, and called the men who were tidying up to the shed where the Big Ugly was parked.

"What is the chief doing? Why did you tear down Big Ugly? Didn't we see Big Ugly looking quite imposing before? Has Big Ugly gone bad?"

"What do you know? The leader certainly has his own considerations. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"Alright, alright, we'll do whatever the leader tells us to do. Stop arguing."

The Eunectes glanced at its subordinates who were making a fuss because of Big Ugly and explained, "This is a modification to make Big Ugly even more powerful, so I need a few of you to help me."

Perhaps influenced by the Eunectes, her subordinates were also enthusiastic about the Big Ugly, and their eyes lit up after hearing what the Eunectes had to say:

"Then what are we waiting for? Chief, let's begin!"

"Then help me move this engine, right here, and place it over that gap in the Big Ugly."

As the Eunectes spoke, under Su Rui's guidance, she directed her subordinates to install the engine inside the Big Ugly. At the same time, she also disassembled other parts of the Big Ugly Big Ugly, making room for its other engine, according to Su Rui.

The Eunectes didn't quite understand why a second engine was needed, nor did she know how it worked, but she trusted Su Rui. Although she couldn't understand some of the design drawings, she just needed to follow Su Rui's instructions for installation.

Moreover, looking at the renderings that Su Rui showed him, the Eunectes thought that the new Big Ugly should be even more powerful.

Soon, two engines were installed, one inside the Big Ugly Big Ugly and the other on its back. The next step was to connect and modify them.

Volume 8, Chapter 463: The Black-skinned Little Bird

Under Su Rui's guidance, the pipeline connections, hydraulic rod installation, and welding of the outer armor of the Big Ugly were all carried out smoothly. So much so that when the Eunectes's subordinates returned to the tribe after a day's work, they had already seen the Big Ugly, which was almost finished. They crowded around, wanting to take a closer look, but worried about disturbing the Eunectes who was still busy.

"Phew~" With the final armor welding completed, the Eunectes let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from its brow, and asked:

'How's it going? Is it finished?'

"Of course it's finished. And Big Ugly won't undertake such a large-scale transformation until your mines and smelters have yielded significant results."

Su Rui said, then asked the Eunectes, "Would you like me to demonstrate the Big Ugly's current performance? Your men must be eagerly anticipating it."

The Eunectes nodded, jumped off the Big Ugly machine, and waved for its subordinates to retreat. "Everyone back off, the Big Ugly is about to move."

The Eunectes's words immediately drew cheers from her men, who then wisely retreated and formed a large circle around the Big Ugly.

In fact, thanks to Su Rui's involvement, the current mechs have been designed to look quite cool, with a greater sense of mechanical weight and imposing presence, rather than being ugly.

However, everyone seemed to be familiar with this nickname, so Su Rui didn't mind. She turned on the stereo, played some energetic electronic music, and then made Big Ugly stand up.

The speakers have been removed and connected to the internal components, so there's no need to worry about power supply.

Two engines: one provides basic energy, and the other enables the Big Ugly to perform more agile movements.

For example, right now, the Big Ugly that stands up has reached a height of five meters, and its hands have been modified into mechanical hands instead of the original chainsaw.

As for the chainsaw from before, it was modified by Su Rui. Big Ugly took two steps forward, and those two steps alone proved that the current Big Ugly was not the same as the previous clumsy machine.

Then, Big Ugly's robotic arm took a circular saw from his waist, which looked like an axe in his hand.

Of course, the most important thing, Su Rui's Chest Cannon, was not changed, and Big Ugly began to walk step by step towards the edge of the encirclement.

As Su Rui's men gradually moved aside, they gleamed with eager anticipation at the Big Ugly Su Rui was driving.

"Big sister is amazing! She's practically a goddess of machinery!"

"That's right, that's right! Big Ugly actually started moving on its own! I remember it could even talk!"

Although these things were basic for Su Rui, who possessed extremely advanced technical skills, he still felt pleased by the Crocodile People's praise. However, speaking of which:

' Eunectes, how about you put on a little show right here at the camp? Speaking of which, Big Ugly could also participate in tomorrow's logging and the subsequent digging work. Oh, and I should probably assign Big Ugly another script.'

Metal pickaxes can also be used to penetrate armor. They are quite useful against similar mechs if you are comfortable using them, although there probably aren't many mechs in the rainforest that can rival the Big Ugly.

After considering Su Rui's suggestion, the Eunectes said:

"Let's get moving around in the camp then, and see how it goes tomorrow. It's getting a bit late."

Then, everyone in the camp saw Big Ugly walk out through the gap created by the crowd and start running.

Although running is not a big deal for ordinary people, when the Crocodile People in the tribe saw the usually clumsy Big Ugly suddenly start running, they immediately cheered loudly throughout the camp, to the point that Su Rui was a little worried that it might disturb the rest of the other tribes in the rainforest.

The five-meter-tall metal construct circled the relatively solid ground in the camp, even leaping down from its height, using steam and flames from parts of its limbs for propulsion, before landing back on the ground with the Big Ugly.

Then, Su Rui parked the Big Ugly under the original tent: 'Alright, that's all for today's performance. You should go back and rest.'

Su Rui spoke up, and even though the Eunectes was somewhat reluctant, she could only wave her hand to appease her more enthusiastic and unwilling subordinates so they could go back to rest.

Everyone was trying to fall asleep in a cheerful atmosphere, but I tossed and turned, unable to sleep because I kept thinking about all sorts of things about Big Ugly.

The Eunectes was the same; when she couldn't sleep, she would ask Su Rui, "How long until morning?"

'Go to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and then you won't be able to see that Big Ugly.'

Su Rui's words did have some effect. The Eunectes muttered somewhat discontentedly, "Fine, I'll sleep then." Then, in her own room, the Eunectes curled up, her tail wrapped around her waist, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually became steady.

The next day, the Eunectes woke up early. When there is something that really matters to a person, they will wake up on their own, even if they are sleep-deprived.

The moment it woke up, the Eunectes packed its clothes and weapons and went to the area under the Big Ugly's shed.

Then she saw many of Big Ugly shed, sizing him up and discussing something animatedly.

'I didn't expect them to arrive even earlier than me.' In terms of their passion for mecha, the Eunectes felt somewhat inferior.

"Of course, and some guys can't sleep at night, so they just get dressed and run into this shed, lying down right next to Big Ugly to sleep."

As Su Rui spoke, he activated the Big Ugly. The five-meter-tall mech stood up amidst cheers, and Su Rui's mixed electronic voice came from the speakers:

"Alright guys, it's time to head to the lumberyard!"

The Eunectes then sat down at the head of the Big Ugly, watching as Su Rui manipulated the Big Ugly to create a huge pickaxe for it, which it then hung on its waist, and headed towards their logging camp.

Led by the Eunectes and Su Rui, the tribe members, except for a few who had other business to attend to, all came out and followed Su Rui and the Eunectes toward the logging camp.

However, because of the commotion they had caused, their group was still approached along the way.

A petite Liberi girl with dark skin, who doesn't seem to be very talkative, but has sharp eyes and bandages on her hands, is a boxer.

"Who is this?" Su Rui asked with some confusion. That's the downside of the rainforest; there are no electronic devices or files, and to get information, you have to keep looking at the Scanning Vision to search for their conversation.

In that case, you might as well just ask the Eunectes.

How many months does it take to complete Volume 8, Chapter 464?

'This is Kemaer, a tribal chief. She loves boxing and enjoys picking fights. She probably came here just to challenge me to a fight.'

'She's probably here to see Big Ugly, right? But, Kemaer's name doesn't sound very memorable. She has dark skin and is quite petite. Let's just call her Flint. She seems like someone who gets angry easily and likes to take action.'

While Su Rui was talking to the Eunectes, Flint arrived in the Eunectes's group and followed Big Ugly as she moved. When Big Ugly moved, Flint climbed up and sat next to the Eunectes, watching her.

"What? Do you need something?" The Eunectes picked up its shield and axe with some confusion, wary of a sudden attack from Flint.

"I have no intention of fighting you; we've already fought before."

Flint shook his head and reached out to touch the metal casing he was sitting on.

"I heard this big guy was really tough yesterday, knocking a lot of people away, so I wanted to come and fight it. By the way, where's its axe? I heard from my men that it originally had an axe in its hand."

"The axe has been moved to another location. Are you sure you want to fight it?"

Even the Eunectes, after witnessing Big Ugly's actions last night, didn't think it was a Big Ugly for him.

Flint nodded without hesitation, his eyes shining brightly. "I want to try!"

"Sure, it won't take long. We'll start once we get to the lumberyard. I'll knock her out, and then we'll get to work."

After hearing Su Rui's words, the Eunectes nodded. "If you lose, don't try to back out."

"There's no reason to deny it. A loss is a loss, and I won't cheat."

Flint raised his chin and sat with Eunectes on the Big Ugly Machine, arriving at the logging camp, a small clearing that had been developed.

The inhabitants of the rainforest were very interested in fighting, so after hearing the conversation between the Eunectes and Flint, they did not immediately take action, but waited with great interest for the duel between Big Ugly and Flint.

Who do you think will win?

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Big Ugly! Although Kemaer's punches are powerful, Big Ugly can fly."

"Idiot, that's not flying. The leader said it was just a jump with a boost."

"That's still pretty impressive. I feel like Big Ugly could send Kemaer flying with just one booster punch."

"It's hard to say. I think Kemaer has a chance of winning. Big Ugly might not be able to hit her."

"Nonsense, even Big Ugly has a machine soul, how could he possibly miss?"

"What, you're not convinced? Want to make a bet?"

"Let's make a bet, what are we betting on?"

"Your dinner tonight."

"Let's bet!"

Similar conversations frequently took place among the Eunectes's subordinates, with Su Rui accusing the pilot of Big Ugly and Flint of being locked in a standoff, ready to fight.

The Eunectes stood between the five-meter-tall Big Ugly and the petite Flint, brandishing its axe and announcing, "Begin!"

The instant the Eunectes shouted "Start!", Flint charged towards Big Ugly Big Ugly punched him in the knee joint.

There's no way to dodge that kind of bulky mech; even if it's made of metal, it can be shattered with a few punches.

As Flint thought this, she realized that her fist had missed its mark. The punch she thought would definitely hit landed on empty air, and Flint's eyes widened in surprise.

She saw the five-meter-tall mech perform a front flip, with propulsive jets appearing from its arms and legs, before landing steadily on the ground.

The sheer magnitude of the movement and the stark contrast momentarily stunned Flint. She turned and stood rooted to the spot, staring intently at the Big Ugly, who was poised to attack, without making a move. Her mouth gaped open in disbelief.
