Chapter 33: Fire Seed Origin Mech Energy Core - Is a Mechanic an SSS-Class Profession?

In a blink of an eye, two days had passed.

During these two days, Zheng Mu appeared to be enjoying his time, eating and drinking as if he were on a vacation.

However, he was constantly using his Midas Touch, keeping a tight grip on its usage.

In two days, the number of T-800s under his command increased from 7 to 9, and the number of Lickers increased from 3 to 5.

If you also counted Optimus Prime, Zheng Mu's mechanical creations now numbered fifteen, enough to form a small guild.

After two days of intense monster hunting, Zheng Mu had only leveled up once.

However, Cai Shengkun and Leng Bingyue had already reached level 15.

Ordinary professions weren't like Zheng Mu's mechanic profession, where each skill needed to be upgraded and consumed a large amount of experience points.

For Leng Bingyue and the others, their skill power was mainly based on their individual attributes.

By now, the two of them no longer needed Zheng Mu's mechanical creations to assist them in easily defeating the monsters in the Rotten Corpse Town.

Just as Leng Bingyue beheaded a struggling zombie that had just stood up, a voice suddenly echoed in Zheng Mu's mind.

[Area Clearance Mission "Rotten Corpse Town" Completed]

[Congratulations, Host, Obtained....]

[Purple Rare Grade Material "Fire Seed Origin Mech Energy Core" *1]

Hearing this reward, Zheng Mu, who had been leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly jumped up from his rocking chair.

"Holy crap, Fire Seed Origin?!"

He knew exactly what this was, as he had used it just over half a month ago when synthesizing Optimus Prime.

Back then, it was a newbie gift, and the system directly rewarded him with all the materials needed for the complete blueprint.

Now...

"System, I have the Fire Seed Origin Mech Energy Core and the blueprint for Optimus Prime. Doesn't that mean I can make another Optimus Prime?"

[Ding, the host currently lacks the other components to build Optimus Prime and cannot manufacture a complete Optimus Prime]

[However, the Fire Seed Origin Mech Energy Core, as the core component of a Transformer, can be combined with other replaceable components to create a Transformer with random unknown functions]

Receiving the system's reply, Zheng Mu's mind was immediately filled with numerous plans and ideas.

Without any hesitation, he shouted at the two who were preparing to continue searching for monsters.

"Gather the spoils, we're heading back to Cloud Ridge City!"

Whether it was his own level 18 or Leng Bingyue and the others' level 15, they already qualified for the Holy Clear University assessment.

There was no need to stay in the wilderness any longer.

On their way back, since both Leng Bingyue and Cai Shengkun already knew about Optimus Prime, Zheng Mu didn't bother pretending to drive anymore.

"Do you remember when I told you that after you reach level 15, I'd give you a gift?"

Zheng Mu said with a smile on his face.

However, as soon as his words fell, both Cai Shengkun and Leng Bingyue hurriedly shook their heads.

"What gift? You've helped us reach level 15 in just half a month. Even if we're brothers, I can't take advantage of you forever!"

Cai Shengkun shook his head repeatedly.

Zheng Mu ignored their reactions and directly took out the items he had prepared earlier from his storage bag.

"[Automatic Rifle 'Overseer']: lv15, purple rare level weapon, made by Mechanic Zheng Mu, unlimited bullets, increases shooting speed by 25%, enhances gunner class skill power by 25%, increases damage to targets within 300 meters by 80%. Usage condition: Gunner class."

"[Overseer's Glory 3/3]: lv15, purple rare level set, includes [Overseer's Battle Armor][Overseer's Pants][Overseer's Combat Boots], made by Mechanic Zheng Mu. Increases user's physical and magical defense by 300%, physical damage by 200%, reduces skill MP consumption by 30%."

"Can accumulate 'War Medals' by killing targets. When War Medals reach ten, the next attack's damage will be increased."

Cai Shengkun's actions froze on the spot, and he couldn't continue shaking his head.

Zheng Mu's eyes were filled with a thick smile.

"So, it seems that Young Master Cai doesn't appreciate these items. Then I'll just..."

Seeing Zheng Mu's actions as if he was about to take the items back, Cai Shengkun couldn't hold back any longer.

He lunged forward and grabbed the items.

"Stop, adoptive father!"

"Since it's a gift from my adoptive father, how can I refuse? I thank you, adoptive father!"

Looking at Cai Shengkun's comical and serious expression, even Leng Bingyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but reveal her pearly teeth. As she turned her head, her eyes were full of laughter.

However, the two seemed to have realized something.

They immediately turned their heads, their faces full of shock as they looked at the items in front of them.

"Made by Mechanic Zheng Mu."

The clear words on the panel made Leng Bingyue and Cai Shengkun feel their brains buzzing.

"Is this... made by you? Aren't you a mechanic? This..."

Looking at the rare moment when Leng Bingyue lost her composure, Zheng Mu just smiled faintly, waving his hand in a self-satisfied manner.

"Just some trivial tricks that are not worth mentioning... Hahaha."

Under the relentless questioning of the two, Zheng Mu finally revealed his skill, [Weapon Modification].

Upon hearing this, Leng Bingyue and Cai Shengkun looked at each other for a long time, both inhaling sharply.

"Where is this some mediocre A-class profession?"

"This is clearly an SSS-class profession that ordinary people can't handle!"
