Inside the office.
"Only four days left to prepare? What the hell have they been doing?"
"They still haven't developed an anesthetic with strong effects that won't damage the [Half-demon Bloodline]!"
After hearing this even worse news, Xia Jinbao, the general manager of the branch company, showed a hint of anger on his aged face. His right hand, adorned with two gold rings, slammed down hard onto the sandalwood desk. With several cracks, two palm-sized dents appeared in the desk.
Faintly, threads of blue psionic radiance could be seen emerging from Xia Jinbao's right hand.
Psionic Attachment!
[Level 3 Psionic Warrior]!
Xia Jinbao.
General Manager of the Cihe City branch of Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company.
At the same time, he was also a powerhouse who had reached the level of a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior].
Silence!
Still silence.
Faced with his general manager's furious appearance, Xia Jie, the secretary, kept his head lowered and scarcely dared to breathe.
Although the power of his two [Lightweight Mechanical Prosthetics] gave Xia Jie, an ordinary person, strength comparable to a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior], he did not dare show even the slightest disrespect toward the enraged fat old man before him.
Because this fat old man was not only the branch company's general manager, but also the instructor of the branch's group of [Sain Mechanical Killers].
[Golden Butcher]!
That was the title this fat old man had once borne.
"Three days!"
"Xia Jie, I don't care about those men who were arrested!"
"But within three days, I want you to bribe enough people to help us transport those [Half-demons] to the slums!"
After a moment, Xia Jinbao raised his head. His tiger-like eyes, burning with rage, stared fixedly at Xia Jie as he spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"Th-this... General Manager, I guarantee that I'll complete the task."
Under the intimidating gaze of his general manager, Xia Jie opened his mouth, but he still could not bring himself to voice his refusal.
"Also, find out who it was that dared betray Sain Mechanical Company..."
"Who exposed the pawn we planted in their operation..."
"Find that person, then bring him before me..."
"I'll personally tear him into pieces!"
Wang Zhong had no idea that some demon had set his sights on him.
At that moment, he was in his rented apartment, organizing the equipment he would need for the upcoming operation.
"Good. Once this film is applied, the crack on the right arm of my [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] will still look exactly as it did before..."
"Besides that, I also bought crack decals to restore the cracks on the torso..."
"With this, even if I use this [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] in front of Manni, I won't have to worry about her noticing anything suspicious."
On the sofa, Wang Zhong lowered his head and looked at the [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] he had put back on. Seeing the several realistic battle scars on it, he nodded and smugly praised himself. "Sure enough, only I could come up with such a convincing trick."
After all, once this [Half-body Psionic Battle Suit] had been upgraded and evolved, all the battle damage on it had been repaired.
Normally, that would not have mattered.
But Wang Zhong was about to patrol the slums with Manni. To prevent her from noticing anything strange, he could only add a few "wounds" to the battle suit.
"Normally, each issued [Bionic Patrol Crow] is bound to a single patrol mission unless it gets damaged..."
"So, I need to make some preparations."
As he spoke, Wang Zhong raised his head and cast a thoughtful gaze toward the laptop on the computer desk in the distance.
If he could [Evolve] this laptop, wouldn't that give him a second [Intelligence]?
The moment that thought occurred to him, Wang Zhong immediately stepped forward. Gripping the laptop in his right hand, he solemnly said, "Mechanical Evolution!"
The next second, nothing happened!
"Mechanical Evolution!"
"Mechanical Evolution!"
The laptop Wang Zhong held over the blue computer desk still showed no reaction at all.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that nothing had happened, Wang Zhong froze. Confusion and surprise filled his face as he muttered to himself.
A moment later.
As if he had sensed something, a mysterious piece of information suddenly surfaced in Wang Zhong's mind.
[Only items containing mechanical psionic structures can be evolved by the power of Mechanical Evolution LV1 (once Mechanical Evolution reaches LV2, any mechanical item can be evolved, regardless of whether it contains a mechanical psionic structure)...] [Only psionic mechanical creations with compatible structures conform to the rules of evolution...]
This answer was given to Wang Zhong by the [Mechanical God Book].
"Damn! So that was the reason..."
"So ordinary laptops made of regular metal can't be evolved by the power of Mechanical Evolution LV1?"
"Only items containing Psionic Metal can be evolved?"
After coming back to his senses, Wang Zhong seemed to realize something. He spoke with a helpless expression.
After all.
In this world, because psionic power existed, there was also a special material known as [Psionic Metal].
Generally speaking, ordinary Psionic Metal possessed superior malleability, forging properties, and the ability to transmit psionic energy. As a result, it was mostly used to make weapons and certain special items.
As for things like mobile phones and computers, because they had no strategic value, they were made from ordinary metal.
As for why Wang Zhong's [Mechanical Phone A10] could be evolved by the power of the [Mechanical God Book], it was because the entire device had been constructed from [Psionic Metal].
This discovery temporarily put many of Wang Zhong's ideas on hold.
"Looks like I'll need to find weapons forged from Psionic Metal..."
Muttering a few words, Wang Zhong quickly walked into the bedroom. Then, he took a firearm equipped with a [Psionic Targeting Instrument] from the wardrobe.
A semi-automatic firearm.
This [Psionic Semi-automatic Firearm] was the fourth [Primary Mechanical Creation] Wang Zhong had evolved.
At the same time, it was a decisive weapon that could only be used at critical moments.
Now that he might have to confront Sain Mechanical Company, it was time for Wang Zhong to take out this [Psionic Semi-automatic Firearm] for protection.
