"Mr. Joseph, these are…?"
Looking at these energy cores, Kim Handsome frowned. It was obvious that he was repulsed by the item.
However, after calming down, he went forward and picked up an energy core and asked with anticipation,
"Mr. Joseph, how can this thing help me?"
The people of Stick Country were all like this. They all had an innate special obsession with cleanliness and would reject things that looked bad at first glance. However, they were especially fond of things from Big Beauty Country. As long as they were products of Big Beauty Country, they would always think that they were good things.
In today's thinking, such a situation was bootlicking! It was blatant bootlicking with double standards!
"Mr. Kim, if I remember correctly, it seems you're not a cyber person, right?"
Joseph suddenly asked.
Kim Handsome scratched his head awkwardly. "Yes, I can only say that I'm too unlucky. Otherwise, I would have been a BMW or thereabout."
"Not bad, not bad. That's good."
Joseph revealed a pleased smile.
However, this smile made Kim Handsome lose his composure.
He asked, "Mr. Joseph, what do you mean by not bad?"
Joseph walked forward and patted his shoulder.
"There's a chance for you to become a cyber person now. Are you willing to do it?"
"Become a cyber person?" Kim Handsome trembled when he heard that.
One had to know that only those who were chosen by cyber people could become cyber people and fuse with their precious items.
However, if one was not chosen at that time, then no matter how hard one tried, it would have been impossible.
However, Joseph said that there was a way to make him a cyber person!
This was absolutely impossible!!
When the Cyber Crisis first descended, the few countries had a discussion at the headquarters of the World Cyber Alliance in Huaxia.
He quickly associated it with the foreign-looking energy core in his hand that was emitting a ghostly flow.
He raised his head tentatively. "Mr. Joseph, are you saying that this thing can turn me into a cyber person?"
This was the only thing Kim Handsome could think of.
The energy core was equivalent to the heart of a mecha. If the heart was gone, the mecha would be a pile of scrap metal.
Therefore, to create an artificial cyber person, then it was natural to work on the energy core.
However, he knew.
Since there was intent to turn humans into cyber people, then Big Beauty Country would definitely have to conduct human genetic experiments in certain places.
This was an old tradition; it was already commonplace.
This also made Kim Handsome suddenly think of something bad.
Was he going to use him as a guinea pig?
Such a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.
He was so frightened that he quickly put the energy core back.
Seeing this, Joseph was not angry. Instead, he smiled and comforted,
"It's okay, Mr. Kim. After all, everyone is afraid of the unknown. I had the same reaction when I first came into contact with the energy core."
"In Huaxia, there's a saying that goes, 'empty talk has no proof', so take a look at this first before deciding if you want to use it."
After saying that, Joseph snapped his fingers, and a projection suddenly appeared in front of them.
In the projection, it was the East Huaxia Sea, where Lin Chen's Hegemony Zero was docked.
It was almost two in the morning. Everyone had already gone to bed early, and the surroundings were pitch-black.
However, the Hegemony Zero was surrounded by lights.
The engineering mechas responsible for upgrading the Hegemony Zero did not have any rest time.
Therefore, at this time, they were still working with professionalism.
Under the illumination of these engineering lights, one could see that the patrolling giant crab mecha was still running back and forth on the beach, alert to every move in the surroundings.
Upon seeing the Hegemony Zero, Kim Handsome could not help but recall the scene of it fighting on the live broadcast.
If there was only one word to describe that scene, it would be 'pervert'!
Even though he had seen many huge mechas as an envoy who traveled between countries,
the power that could pierce through the S-grade Lava Beast mecha with a single punch was not something that ordinary cyber people's mechas could compare to.
"Mr. Joseph, you want me to see this…?"
Kim Handsome did not quite understand what Joseph meant.
Joseph smiled.
"Mr. Kim, don't be anxious. The show has just begun."
…
At this moment, on the beach, a humanoid mecha wrapped in pitch-black armor was slowly advancing towards the giant crab mecha.
His body was only twice the size of an ordinary human.
His face was like a ghost, as if he was wearing a beast mask.
He held mutated beast metal fangs that looked chilling. They were so sharp that they seemed to be able to cut through anything.
He was Midfield. Three hours ago, he had fused with the "energy core" that Joseph had given to Welldeep.
In just a few hours, he had become a small mecha warrior who was said to be able to defeat A-grade mecha beasts.
At this moment, the giant crab mecha in charge of patrolling the beach was the first to notice something amiss. It immediately activated its counterattack mode.
It charged towards Midfield at an extremely fast speed.
Its body, which was more than ten meters tall, streaked across the sky like a meteor.
The pair of steel pincers produced a powerful and sharp wind sound!
In the eyes of this giant crab mecha, Midfield was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Such a ferocious and swift attack style and speed, if it were an ordinary mecha warrior, he would have long been scared silly.
However, Midfield did not panic or fear at all. He calmly raised his right hand and nimbly blocked the giant crab mecha's attack with the metal fangs in his hand!
The moment the fangs touched the steel pincers, a crisp clang sounded and flames immediately splattered!
However, this was not the end. Midfield exerted a little force with the metal fangs in his right hand, and the giant crab mecha's body was instantly sent flying several meters away!
Its huge body landed heavily on the ground, causing sand and dust to fly everywhere!
This scene stunned Kim Handsome, who was watching the battle.
"Mr. Joseph, is… is he still human?"
He had only fused with an energy core, and he was actually able to withstand the full-strength attack of that B-grade giant crab mecha!
He even repelled the other party?
Seeing Kim Handsome's reaction, Joseph calmly explained, "Mr. Kim, what you see is only the first batch of test subjects. They have matching weapons and small mechas."
"Although they are smaller in size, their strength and speed are both at the level of an A-grade cyber beast."
A-grade cyber beast!
It had to be known that A-grade cyber beasts evolved from those ferocious beasts.
They were already kings of the natural world before the cyber transformation, not to mention their terrifying strength after mecha transformation.
Their combat power was even comparable to a few tanks taking turns to bombard! It was enough to show how terrifying they were!
However, such a powerful existence could be created with just one energy core!
This man-made cyber person was indeed a little terrifying!
Moreover, from what Joseph said, there seemed to be other batches of energy cores!
Could it be?
With this question in mind, he gulped and pointed at the boxes of energy cores beside him.
"Are these the second batch?"
When Joseph heard his question, he smiled and shook his index finger.
"No, no, no, Mr. Kim. They're the newly improved third batch."
