Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Jiang Shi did want to hit it, but could he admit it?

Of course not!

He glared at it. "Little Ai, you'll get beaten up if you talk too much!"

"Pshaw! I'm not afraid."

Xiao Ai crossed her arms and tossed her head back, looking as if she didn't recognize her owner.

Ugh, headache...

Jiang Shi covered his head and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Alright, what exactly is that Transformation Core? How do you obtain it?"

Seeing Jiang Shi become serious, Xiao Ai also dropped her joking attitude and said:

"The Transformation Core allows specific mechanical carriers, such as spaceships and large mechanical units, to gain the ability to transform and evolve into more powerful combat forms."

"You can think of it as the core driving force of Transformers in your understanding, where the Transformation Core is divided into three main categories."

"Category 1: Elemental Cores. For example, cores containing the power of elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. After fusion, the machine will gain elemental manipulation and attack capabilities, resulting in a versatile combat style and strong adaptability to the environment."

"The second type: Strength-based Primal Cores. These focus on enhancing pure physical attributes such as strength, speed, defense, and stamina. They are mostly used in melee combat."

"The third type: special protocores, which may possess special abilities such as space, time, and illusions after fusion, and are the rarest."

"These three types of protocores each have their own strengths, but generally speaking, the upper limit is: special type > elemental type > power type. Of course, some anomalies are exceptions."

"therefore,"

Xiao Ai solemnly said, "After obtaining the transformation core, do not rush to fuse it. Once fused, it will determine the spaceship's ultimate potential and development direction at the most fundamental level."

Jiang Shi's heart was filled with emotion.

Transformation, mecha—isn't this every man's dream?

"So, how do we get our hands on this thing?"

Xiao Ai shrugged, her tone becoming somewhat helpless: "Master, the way to obtain it is a bit difficult."

There are three methods:

"I. Obtained through secret realms. This is a rare and serendipitous opportunity."

"Second, obtaining treasure chests. There is an extremely low probability of obtaining them; it depends on luck."

"Third, plunder. Directly seize the core from the transforming mechanical lifeform. There are many on the mechanical planet, but they are powerful and extremely difficult to seize."

"Moreover, whether we can encounter them or not is one thing, whether we can defeat them is another."

"In conclusion, Master, whether you can obtain a transformation core, and what kind of one you can get, depends on your luck..."

"Of course I'm lucky!"

Jiang Shi retorted without thinking, and even subconsciously puffed out his chest.

"Master, are you sure?"

Xiao Ai pouted, glanced at Jiang Shi, and teased, "Didn't they say Guo Wanxing is your nemesis? Tsk tsk..."

"What should I do?"

While speaking, he tactfully distanced himself.

Jiang Shi's expression turned "extremely handsome" after being speechless by her words. He wanted to retort, but...

"...Never mind what I said," Jiang Shi replied. He really couldn't do anything about Xiao Ai.

I could only retrieve the 7 regular treasure chests, and then I opened them one by one to ward off bad luck.

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained: 50 Tier 1 Energy Stones, one box of ordinary first aid kits, 6 catties of dried sweet potato noodles, 20 liters of water, one ordinary charcoal making blueprint, one Tier 1 Energy Stone, and 20 kilograms of coal."

"That's it?"

"Seven treasure chests, seven items... Master, your luck is... tsk tsk tsk. Only that charcoal blueprint has any long-term value."

Looking at his harvest, Jiang Shi felt a little depressed.

The yield rate is average.

"Xiao Ai, are you ever going to stop?"

"It's not over yet, and I don't want it to be over."

Phew... Calm down, I'm not angry. Jiang Shi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, took out three excellent treasure chests and two rare treasure chests, placing them in front of him.

"No rush, I still have five treasure chests."

Jiang Shi looked at these high-end goods and felt quite confident.

Turning their attention to the three fine treasure chests, they opened them all at once, without resorting to any mystical methods.

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained: one Excellent-grade Famous Sword Card, 500 Tier 1 Energy Stones, one Rare-grade Concealment Ring, and one Ordinary Water Gun. You can hatch 10 Ordinary Eggs."

But this time, the quality of the shipment was several levels higher.

"Xiao Ai, explain the famous sword Kaka and the Concealment Ring."

As Jiang Shi spoke, he casually picked up the blue plastic water gun and aimed it at Xiao Ai's illusory figure, hissing and spraying...

Xiao Ai ignored Jiang Shi's childish behavior and began to explain:

"Superior Grade Sword Card, One-Time Item Card"

Once activated, it can withstand any fatal attack from a rare-level or lower powerhouse for 1 second.

"Rare-grade stealth ring."

When worn, it actively activates a stealth effect, significantly reducing the user's presence and making them difficult to detect using conventional methods. It is remarkably effective for stealth, infiltration, and assassination.

When hidden or disguised, epic-level and lower-level monsters are very difficult to detect directly.

After hearing the explanation, Jiang Shi was overjoyed.

A famous sword is like having an extra life.

The Concealment Ring: A powerful tool for stealth, escape, and ambushing.

Both items are very practical, but Jiang Shi prefers the famous sword.

Don't ask why, you know, you know...

"So, the goods have been shipped?"

"My luck isn't that bad!"

Jiang Shi laughed triumphantly.

Xiao Ai floated in front of him, hands on her hips, her face slightly upturned:

"Master, please don't neglect these ten eggs. They need an environment of approximately 37-38 degrees Celsius and appropriate humidity to hatch."

"And it cannot be stored in a space, otherwise it will lose its activity and become a dead egg."

"What are you planning to do with them?"

Listening to Xiao Ai's words, Jiang Shi looked at the 10 eggs and indeed had a headache.

It's a bit of a waste to eat it; it's a sustainable source of meat and eggs.

Let's try to hatch it, but we don't have the conditions.

Temporarily store it in the space? It will turn into a dead egg.

"What else can we do? Let's find a warm place to put it."

Jiang Shi felt somewhat helpless and put the other items he had obtained into his spatial storage.

Then temporarily place 10 eggs on the soil in the plant cultivation room.

After dealing with the eggs, his gaze turned intently to the last two, which were also the most valuable rare treasure chests.

One in each hand.

"I'll drive!"

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained: one Excellent-grade Robot Bodyguard, one Rare-grade Teleportation Card, one Rare-grade Extendable High-Energy 30-meter Laser Greatsword, and one Rare-grade Spaceship Energy Ball."

As the light faded, four items were revealed before Jiang Shi.

At first glance, what you see is a high-fidelity robot that is about 1.8 meters tall.

It is an excellent-class robotic bodyguard with a matte black finish, simple lines, anthropomorphic facial features, clearly defined joints in each part of its body, and foldable propulsion wings and weapons on its back.

A giant weapon handle with an exaggerated design and an energy interface at the end, resembling a 30-meter laser with a high-tech look.

The spaceship's energy sphere is a fist-sized, translucent, light blue sphere.

"Xiao Ai, explain this spaceship's energy ball."

Jiang Shi's voice was filled with excitement.

"Reporting to Master, when the spaceship energy ball is activated, it can generate an energy shield centered on the spaceship and covering the entire spaceship."

"This shield can withstand any conventional physical attack of rare rarity or lower strength."

"But against epic attacks, it can withstand three fatal blows at full energy, but after that it will be completely destroyed due to overload."

"The shield's maintenance and strength depend on the energy stored within the sphere. It is currently at full energy. Once the energy is depleted, it needs to be recharged. Each full recharge requires 10,000 Tier 1 Energy Stones."

Ten thousand raw stones sounds scary, and it really is scary, at least in the early stages.

"very good!"

Jiang Shi put the energy ball away safely.

His gaze fell on the black robot again.

"Master, shall we start the robot now?"

Xiao Ai asked.
