Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 384 The best upgrade is one that doesn't take up a parking space.

Any strong fortress can be breached from within; this is the earnest teaching that the Monkey King imparted to Cheng Tian and his generation during every summer and winter vacation.

The alien UFOs have clearly been strengthened by the copy template, making them far more formidable than the weak creatures in the original work.

Not only does it possess evasion capabilities that are unclear whether they are phase shifts or spatial transfers, but it also incorporates the mutated attributes of dinosaur genes into the spaceship in the form of projectiles, giving it a stronger offensive capability.

However, when the attack originates from inside the spaceship, neither phase shift nor alienation attacks are effective.

The flames of the metallic Tyrannosaurus Rex and the frost of the metallic Allosaurus began to rage in the empty interior of the spaceship, and in just one exchange, the alien who wanted to reset the Hundred Dragon King was roasted into a charred mushroom.

Yes, it was instantly defeated.

While there is certainly an overwhelming advantage of large mech units over unmech units, it is also related to the characteristics of the aliens themselves.

In the original work, the so-called alien final boss is the weakest of all the boss units in the entire game, posing no threat whatsoever.

In the current instance, the number of aliens has increased from 1 to 3, but the expansion of their combat power has been entirely focused on their UFO spaceships and their technological capabilities in biological genetic modification and mechanical modification. Their physical bodies are actually quite weak.

In other words, if these three aliens, suspected to be "Martians," focused on both bloodline and mechanical modifications to the dinosaurs, they might not be able to create more six-machine combined Hundred Dragon Kings due to the lack of humanoid mecha cores like the Orange, but they would be able to mass-produce various metal-mutated dinosaurs relatively easily.

By then, this Earth, already suffering from catastrophes and the dinosaur crisis, might become the world of Beast Wars...

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." When they chose to forcibly reclaim the Hundred Dragon King, leading to Cheng Tian's invasion, their situation became no different from that of Princess Iron Fan.

Rather, it's worse.

Even if they wanted to throw the Hundred Dragon King out, it was too late. As the paint on the entire machine turned green, the machine curled up into a giant wheel and began to rampage inside the UFO!

With a series of loud impacts, numerous outward-facing bulges appeared on the smooth-skinned UFO from the inside out. However, because this UFO used gravity manipulation technology rather than a conventional propulsion engine, it did not crash immediately; instead, it flew higher into the air.

Until the third alien was crushed into pieces by Sonic in his attack form, King Hundred Dragons.

The completely deformed spaceship began to fall, but during the fall, the hull, which was not easily broken by the impact of the large mechs inside, first showed signs of being scorched by high temperature, and then a large amount of white water vapor was emitted, obviously being rapidly cooled. After about four repetitions, the hull finally broke open, and Cheng Tian, ​​who was controlling the Hundred Dragon King, charged forward and smashed through the gap in the hull.

With its wings spread wide and its engines in motion, the Hundred Dragon King slowly descended, while the spaceship crashed into the island first, turning into fragments.

At the same time, a notification popped up in the space.

You reclaimed the "Gates LB Orange," you destroyed the alien UFO, and you killed the "Martian Trio."

The special hidden mission, "The Stolen Collectibles," has been completed.

The coordinates for the Martian base have been issued. You can go there to search and obtain the mission reward, "Super Dinosaur Primitive Genetic Genome Sample," and grant looting rights to up to 3 items within the base once. (Your teammates will receive the same amount of looting rights.)

[Your combat vehicle "Gates LB Orange" has undergone a permanent attribute change—Gates LB Orange has gained the "Six-Unit Combination Hundred Dragon King" transformation privilege. Please check the specific effects yourself.]

[A copy of Metal Slug has been detected in your Celestial Space save file.]

[After you leave the instance and save your game, your action of "killing the three Martian brothers" will create a story link with the relevant factions in Metal Slug, causing unknown consequences.]

As a series of prompts popped up, the Hundred Dragon King that Cheng Tian was piloting visibly began to shrink back.

No, to be more precise, the five metal limbs that make up the Hundred Dragon King are undergoing deep fusion and binding with Gates LB. The original orange body has its limbs and back transformed into the bloodline mutation colors of the five metal dinosaurs, resulting in a gaudy and colorful appearance.

As the most ordinary first-generation mass-produced Armored Warrior, Gates's original attributes are very poor, almost only one-third of those of the third-generation armored warriors. The only thing worth mentioning is the modular replacement function of the shoulder cannon and the arm.

Now, these functions have been locked down, or more precisely, permanently occupied by the limbs of the five metal dinosaurs.

MSW-16M Gates Six-Unit Combined Type: Purple Rare/Lv-, Humanoid Mobile Weapon, Medium Combat Vehicle, Individual Soldier Vehicle. Pilot Requirements: Cheng Tian.

Originally the first-generation mass-produced Armor Warrior, it became the core component of the six-unit combination under the technical interference of the three Martian brothers. When it returned to its original owner, it retained all the metal dinosaur limb parts, greatly improving its overall performance, but at the same time losing the ability to replace modular parts.

Gates's fuselage durability is 120/120, and his HP is 1200/1200.

All of Gates' accessory slots are occupied by metal dinosaurs and cannot be replaced.

Left arm = Metal Tyrannosaurus Rex (Spade), Right arm = Metal Allosaurus (Heart), Left leg = Metal Plesiosaurus (Diamond), Right leg = Metal Triceratops (Pentagon), Back = Metal Pterodactyl (Club).

If necessary, you can activate Gates' "Six-Machine Combination" function to temporarily transform into the "Six-Machine Combination Hundred Dragon King" form.

In this form, the overall stats of the mech are temporarily increased to 600%, and the Hundred Dragon King form lasts for 60 seconds + 50 seconds (pilot's mental attribute value * 1 second). After activating the Hundred Dragon King form once, you must return to your base or main ship for repairs before this function can be used again, and the mech's durability must be above 60% when activating it.

This was indeed a surprising change that exceeded Cheng Tian's expectations.

Cheng Tian originally planned to put the Orange back into the collection space after this, but this change obviously ensured that it could still be active at the forefront of its combat vehicle sequence.

But more than the Gates Orange becoming stronger, Cheng Tian was actually more concerned that it wouldn't take up more of his parking space...

Cheng Tian announced, "This is the best attribute enhancement!"
After calling Eileen over and searching the area where the UFO crashed, and confirming that there were no treasure chests, Cheng Tian knew that the Martian brothers' loot must have been incorporated into their looting of the base.

So, now it's time to broaden our horizons!

Sparks flew when Cheng Tian and Eileen's eyes met.
