The [Icy Breath] module was undoubtedly a highly practical and powerful enigmatic weapons module.

Jiang Chen had already witnessed its terrifying power on the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, capable of freezing even lasers and flames.

However, the [Flame Control] module he had prepared in advance was also an exceptional enigmatic weapons module of superior quality.

He had even undertaken training related to flame control beforehand, giving him an edge.

The choice was indeed difficult.

“It’s a pity that a mecha can only load three 1st Rank auxiliary modules; it’s not possible to completely forego basic attributes and retrofit weapons only…”

“The second mecha is a must!”

After contemplating, Jiang Chen ultimately forsook the tempting “Superman suit” and chose [Flame Control].

The next enemy expected to arrive on the battlefield was the final boss of the Eternal Frost Magic Realm, the returned-from-death Ice Soul Tyrant.

Using Icy Breath to combat the Ice Soul Tyrant, wouldn’t that be deliberately increasing the difficulty for myself?

Clearly, Flame Control offered higher returns.

After setting aside the Icy Breath module, Jiang Chen took a look at the settlement rewards.

He had no use for the superior quality ice attribute material [Icy Skeleton], nor the excellent quality core module [Blood of Extreme Cold] that provided an ice attribute boost, so he could only sell them for money.

There was also an excellent 1st Rank item, Faint Holy Radiance.

This was another new type of item: an accessory.

It could be worn by a mecha pilot, offering special effects like dispelling cold and calming the mind.

It could also be used as a mecha ornament, providing temporary attributes such as resistance to cold.

There were rank restrictions; it could work without consuming energy, but it would also get damaged in combat if it took a hit.

“These things can’t be forged and are only dropped by abyss carbon copies; they’re quite rare.”

“But it doesn’t fit my combat style; my armor would barely explode before this thing would be ruined.”

“I’ll sell it in the shop later.”

Jiang Chen’s rented shop in Xuntian City hadn’t officially started business yet.

There was still a small stockpile of exceptional modules that dropped from ranking trials stored in his warehouse.

He wasn’t in a hurry at all.

If he started business now, he would have to worry about building popularity and setting prices, which was a bit too troublesome.

It was better to focus on building his strength calmly and wait until he had cleared the Hell and even Abyss difficulty levels of Age-Old Shadow before opening for business.

By then, the records of conquering the high-difficulty abyss would be the best advertisement for the shop.

After organizing the settlement rewards,

Jiang Chen touched his brow with his hand.

He didn’t feel anything unusual in the spot where his fingertips touched.

It wasn’t until he concentrated and gathered Life Force at the spot on his brow that he successfully touched a cold, prismatic crystal.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Much better.

It turned out that these special modules capable of altering the mecha’s appearance, once absorbed by him, would be exhibited in the form of [abilities].

As long as he did not use the corresponding power, his appearance would not change at all.

Therefore, no matter how many abilities he absorbed, he would appear as a normal human being most of the time.

As for how he might look during combat…

As long as he took down all the enemies, then no one would know, right?

“From now on, I need not worry so much when installing modules.”

“As for now, it’s time to go repair the mecha.”

The Nightmare difficulty level’s “hidden boss” probably had attributes surpassing one thousand three, one thousand four.

The power of the skills would also have inevitably increased substantially.

Jiang Chen’s current attributes, if he did have to fight, meant the chances of winning were very slim.

He needed at least one more consolidation of power.

To leave the abyss!

After returning to the real world, Jiang Chen didn’t rush to check on the second mecha.

The exploration of the abyss had been extremely efficient, taking just over twenty minutes.

Even if the mecha soul was quick to absorb information, it couldn’t have finished growing in such a short time.

First, he would get the primeval mecha repaired.

The second time repairing the primeval mecha was much faster.

It took just seven hours to complete the repairs.

After finishing the repair work,

Jiang Chen stretched his body and headed to the mecha exhibition room.

At this moment, a brass-constructed steam mecha stood steadily in the center of the exhibition room.

In front of it, a special mechanical device flickered continuously, displaying various images.

As the flickering frequency of the images was so high, to ordinary people, it was equivalent to a scrambled screen.

But it was just right for a mecha soul to receive the information within.

Jiang Chen’s high agility had endowed him with powerful reaction capabilities to clearly make out the images on the mech.

He could even clearly discern sounds that had been sped up by who knows how many multiples.

When his gaze swept over and saw the mechanical device playing the scene of Might Kai unlocking the Eight Gates and kicking Six Paths Ban apart with one foot…

Jiang Chen slightly nodded.

One had to say, the spectacle of a human body matching the Six Paths was indeed quite exhilarating.

Too bad it wasn’t a head kick.

Jiang Chen ignored the mechanical imagery, focusing instead on sensing the steam mecha’s soul.

Intense and surging emotions were conveyed from a distance, reaching him from afar.

Although there was still a considerable gap compared to Zero, it was much stronger than it had been in the morning.

Especially this emotion, filled with excitement and enthusiasm, giving people a feeling of boiling blood.

“According to Bai Ying’s words, mecha souls are naturally inclined to certain things.”

“Then, the soul of the steam mecha should be related to passion, easily shaped into a hot-blooded soul.”

Feeling satisfied, Jiang Chen approached the steam mecha.

Wanting to clearly feel its voice.

Mechas inherently have an exceedingly close connection with mecha pilots, with mecha souls naturally trusting their pilots.

At this time, the soul had already sensed the presence of Jiang Chen, shifting its attention away from the video images.

A rush of joy, affection, and admiration came flooding in.

Transforming into a voice, it resounded in Jiang Chen’s heart.

[Are you my master?]

A mecha pilot is indeed the master of the mecha.

Bai Ying’s references to Senior Ruan had also always been ‘master.’

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the phrase.

But…

Jiang Chen glanced at the high-octane editing next to him and felt it sounded slightly off.

Before he could respond, the voice of the mecha soul came again from the depths of his heart.

[This humble one (unnamed) is willing to go through fire and water for the Jiang family for generations!]

Jiang Chen was now certain— the steam mecha’s soul was reciting lines—

After all, being able to express the concept of “the Jiang family” meant Bai Ying had already infused it with information and concepts about its master, Jiang Chen.

Moreover, it could use the words “(unnamed)” to hint to Jiang Chen that it had not yet been named.

This indicated it possessed a certain level of cognitive logic.

Yet it still chose such a mode of expression…

Oh no, in focusing on adding fuel, he had overdone it, turning the mecha soul into a melodramatic teenager!

He shouldn’t have deleted the non-combustibles; he should have controlled the temperature.

But by now, regret was useless.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment— being melodramatic might not necessarily be a bad thing.

If the brainwaves align, the soul of the mecha could easily be guided in its early stages onto a fitting path and approach.

With more exposure to external information over time, the melodramatic spirit will naturally fade or hide itself.

“A little mecha soul doesn’t understand the ways of the world, but will grow up to know what we call the embarrassing past.”

“First, let’s give the child a name.”

Jiang Chen looked at the steam mecha before him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

“You are a steam mecha, born from the Steam World, and I hope for your constant growth and strength.”

“Let’s call you… Stea- no, let’s not steam anymore.”

“Taking the name of Zhao Yun of Changshan, let’s call you Yun.”

[This humble one Yun, thanks my lord for the bestowed name!]
