You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 3 My head is so itchy, I feel like my eyes are about to open.

[Legendary Detection Module: Once installed, it can be used to detect the true attributes of nearby abyss monsters. More functions can be obtained by upgrading the module.]

[Crafting Materials: Any material dropped by an Abyss monster]

[Production Method: In the maintenance hangar workshop, materials and this drawing are consumed (time taken 1 second)]

Li Zhe looked at this information thoughtfully.

While the detection module lacks direct combat capabilities, it is effective at detecting the true attributes of abyssal monsters...

This is something that no mecha has ever been able to do before!

In this war between humans and monsters, whoever has the intelligence wins!

Although each mech pilot can quantify the combat power indicators of their own mech.

However, when facing monsters, there is still a lack of effective detection methods.

If I can effectively detect monsters in the abyss, I will never have to worry about any fake humans lurking around me again!

In addition, the production method and the required materials are simple.

The monster I just slapped to death happened to drop a glass bead, which we can use right away.

This monster has a unique art style, but the materials it drops are quite refreshing.

Alright, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Build it!

Li Zhe decisively reached his finger to the panel and quickly tapped on the options.

The production process was quite fast, indeed it only took one second.

"Ding!"

After a crisp and pleasant notification sound, a glittering golden virtual chip appeared out of thin air.

Upon closer inspection, even more details emerged—

[Legendary Detection Module (lv1)]

[Inherent Function: Once equipped, it can be used to detect the true attributes of nearby abyssal monsters]

[Other features: At the current level, you can disguise your mech's appearance by consuming mech energy]

[Loading Notes: (Impact on Appearance) This module will add an extra pair of visual sensors to the mech's head-mounted visual monitoring device.]

Li Zhe stared at the loading instructions for a moment, slightly taken aback.

What does appearance matter?

In plain language, it could be...

Will it give me an extra pair of eyes?

Holy crap, that's kind of weird!
But then I thought about it...

I've already grown to two meters tall, so adding an extra pair of eyes seems... alright?
Based on my current energy recovery rate.

Disguising these eyes, and incidentally disguising his own body size as his original height...

The energy balance is just right, with the balance neither increasing nor decreasing.

Li Zhe gritted his teeth and installed the module onto himself.

The chip transformed into a beam of light and landed on his cheekbone.

next moment……

My brain is a little itchy...

Then, a cracking sound came from my cheekbone area, as if something was about to come out!
Suddenly! Two beams of light shot out from his cheekbones!

In an instant, a three-dimensional image of the surrounding space vaguely appeared in Li Zhe's mind, as if he had activated a perspective cheat.

Moreover, the attributes of the monster that had just been killed with a single slap also flashed into his mind.

[Catalog Number: Dark Alley Succubus (STSUB-21055)]

【Type: Second Generation Abyss Apostle - Pseudo-human Succubus - Tumor-shaped Tentacle Body】

【Combat strength: 0.38】

[Special Ability: If your combat power is lower than this monster's, never look directly into its humanoid eyes, or you will be psychologically influenced; the slime on the tentacles of this monster in its fleshy flower form has paralyzing, putrefactive, lubricating, and aphrodisiac effects.]

[Note: When you gaze at the abyss on this monster's chest, the abyss also gazes at you...]

This special skill...

So that explains why I fainted back then.

No wonder this guy was able to blend into the crowd and even openly book a room in a small hotel.

Li Zhe understood this and realized that as long as his combat power was more than twice that of his opponent, he could instantly kill him without his opponent being able to break through his defenses.

Having grasped the basics of this combat capability measurement standard, he went to the cramped bathroom and saw his face in the mirror.

Below the eyes, the cheekbone area looks as if it has been cut with two symmetrical, deep wounds.

However, what lay beneath the wound was not flesh and blood, but a red glow enveloped by an incredibly precise and complex mechanical structure.

The look of those newborn's eyes...

Hmm! It has that mecha vibe!

With a thought, Li Zhe tried to close those eyes. With a hiss, the two beams of light instantly dimmed.

The two cuts on my cheekbone, resembling wounds, also healed simultaneously.

Your face should look normal, without any deliberate pretense.

With another thought, he opened his eyes again.

It's like having an incredibly cool, self-illuminating face paint applied, giving it a striking beauty.

Li Zhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't the kind of compound eyes he had imagined, like a spider, or the kind that resembles two faces.

Otherwise, it would be far too bizarre.

This mecha system seems to have some integrity after all.

Even if there are bugs, they're still aiming to modify the mecha.

Li Zhe was satisfied and closed the special vision device.

Having verified the basic capabilities of the muscle armor, the next step is to examine the system's other functions.

He called up the system panel again, his gaze falling on the third option: "Conquer the Abyss".

With a light tap of your finger, the text changes into two options, each with a corresponding description.

[Abyss of Mystery]

[Description: Worlds swallowed by the abyss have become one with it... You can explore these worlds... delve deeper to find the way to transcend all realms... Beware, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you...]

[Currently available teleportation level: Level 0]

[Note: 5 mech energy points are required to enter level 0]

……

Abyssal Rift

The abyss is eroding your world, creating terrifying rifts across the globe... Enter these rifts and shatter their cores, or reality will plunge into the abyss...

[Current global erosion level: 0.00001%]

……

"The Abyss of Deception" is the main battlefield for mech pilots.

Their main activity there is hunting monsters, collecting materials to craft modules, and upgrading their mechs.

As for the "Abyssal Rift"...

Li Zhe recalled the contents of the textbook.

The monsters that wreak havoc across the planet did not appear out of thin air.

Instead, they emerged from scars that seemed to have been torn open in space.

These fissures vary in size and cannot be directly contacted.

The earliest rifts that appeared were mostly sealed off and controlled by the United Government to prevent monsters from emerging from them and harming people.

However, new cracks keep appearing.

Cracks can appear in any corner of the world, from the deep sea and snowfields to deserts, secret caves, and even the atmosphere. There is simply no way to defend against them all.

To eliminate a rift, one must wait for its core to mature before gathering forces to enter it.

There seem to be two options.

For Li Zhe, both options were somewhat distant.

If he were to attempt to advance into the Abyss of Deception alone, the energy of his armored body would be instantly reduced to zero.

The first point in the Pioneer's "Mech Maintenance Manual" solemnly declares one thing—

[Make sure the mech's energy is at full capacity. If the energy reaches zero, the mech will be destroyed instantly!]

As for the second option, "Abyssal Rift"...

There is indeed a crack in Shenhai City.

Through joint government control, monster resources are allocated to various mecha academies to facilitate students' monster-hunting and mecha upgrades.

Li Zhe frowned in thought.

Given his current physical condition, he is clearly an unregistered, unorganized lone wolf.

The end of the world is coming, and everyone is in danger.

Even if our fellow human beings can trust us.

But who knows if those pseudo-human monsters already lurking among humans will pull off some crazy things that will cause high blood pressure.

Who knows what the consequences would be if I rashly exposed myself?

Hiding yourself and developing your strength stealthily is probably the wise choice...

Li Zhe did not remain on the [Conquer the Abyss] screen.

Return to the main screen and click the last option, "Task Guidance".

As the interface changes, two tasks appear before your eyes...
