Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Chapter 162 Each Displays Their Unique Abilities

"As you can see, I only possess level two mental strength."

The researcher put away the mantis knife, his voice tinged with fervor.

"But the explosive power and destructive force of my attack just now have already reached the peak of level three."

"This is a leap across an entire major class!"

The entire room erupted in uproar, and many delegates' eyes lit up.

A level 2 mental strength can produce the effect of a level 3 mental strength.

For those low-level card masters whose talents are limited, this is simply a life-changing artifact!

Then, the researcher paused, and his tone became even more seductive.

"Of course, in order to maintain the stability of the prosthetic body, the use of mental power will be slightly limited after the prosthetic body is connected."

"For example—regular cards cannot be used."

He deliberately glossed over it in a nonchalant tone, then quickly threw out an even bigger pie.

"But what kind of price is this?"

"When your fists can tear through steel, when your body is not afraid of water or fire."

"Then what's the point of those fragile spell cards?"

"With the help of Star Tower, we can launch the third-generation prosthetic body in one or two years at most."

"At that time, the intensity will surge again!"

"This will be the card master's ascension to godhood, transcending the limitations of card systems; flesh and blood are weak, while machines rise to prominence!"

"Mechanical ascension?"

Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Zhe, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but rub his temples.

His facial expression also became somewhat strange.

How come even though we've all been transported to another world, there are still people shouting such authentic slogans?

"You don't think it's okay?"

Lin Ye, who was standing to the side, keenly noticed Jiang Zhe's indifference.

She then glanced sideways and gave her evaluation.

"Although the card system has been abandoned, this technology, which can directly improve the combat power of the bottom layer, is definitely a hot commodity on the market."

"It might be impressive in a serious battle, but what if it's for a high-level relic required by the Star Tower?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the researcher on the stage, and began to disassemble the device.

"If you look closely at the moment he exerts and withdraws his force, is there a slight pause at the connection between the flesh and the prosthetic body?"

""

Lin Ye squinted and observed carefully, and sure enough, he found a slight hesitation in the other person's speech.

"There is some delay, but this level of delay shouldn't have a significant impact, right?"

"That's only fine if you kill the target. In extreme conditions, this would be a fatal weakness."

"What's even more critical is the logistical issue, since what Star Tower needs this time is a single-soldier survival plan."

"The situation in high-level ruins is complex, and his intricately prosthetic body..."

"What if something gets stuck and causes the circuit to overheat?"

"If he can't use cards to save himself, are you expecting him, a combatant, to pull out a wrench and perform open-chest surgery on himself in a pile of monsters?"

'

"And—does that mean every combatant must learn the complete set of maintenance techniques before they can even use it?"

"Isn't this too difficult for some people who are single-minded?"

After listening to Jiang Zhe's meticulous analysis, Lin Ye was stunned.

She was initially surprised by the powerful effect, but she overlooked the instability of this kind of puppet prosthetic.

indeed.

Star Tower needs elites who can survive independently, not expendable resources that may break down at any time.

"This guy has a really sharp eye."

Lin Ye glanced at Jiang Zhe's profile, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

However, what she didn't know was that Jiang Zhe was actually thinking about another, even more interesting idea.

"The interface of this prosthetic body is essentially a kind of signal receiver."

"And back in the core area, I was able to forcibly control even those powerful four-armed puppets."

"What if I use floating cannons to interfere with their crude interface that lacks a firewall—"

Jiang Zhe touched his chin, and the smile on his face gradually became somewhat perverse.

"What if he uses that mantis knife to twist his hand and slit his own throat?"

Cyber ​​hackers, specializing in dealing with all kinds of mechanical ascension rebellions.

After the Gear Showcase concluded.

Amidst applause from the audience, a man in a white coat and mask eagerly walked up to the stage.

This person was the company's technician.

"Stuffing cold iron blocks into the body not only severed the card master's resonance with heaven and earth."

"And they've even lost the ability to use cards! That's not evolution, that's forgetting your roots!"

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he didn't hold back in launching a direct attack on Gear Club.

"Our company's main focus is on preserving the card master's spellcasting ability while also allowing for unlimited evolution."

"A symbiotic second limb!"

As he spoke, he took out a dark red lump of flesh that was still wriggling from a constant temperature incubator.

The next moment, without hesitation, he pulled up his sleeve and stuck it to his left arm!

Then, a dark red potion was injected.

The mass of flesh instantly extended countless fine tentacles, which pierced deep into the man's blood vessels.

The man cried out in pain, but then he saw the mass of flesh begin to frantically merge with his arm.

Accompanied by a nauseating groaning sound of bone and flesh growing, his entire left arm swelled at a visible rate.

The surface was also quickly covered with a layer of pitch-black shell covered with bone spurs.

Even in the palm of his hand, a deformed mouth covered with fangs had split open.

"call----"

The large mouth suddenly sprayed out a stream of acid, which landed on the alloy test plate and instantly corroded a large hole in it.

"This bio-armor not only provides powerful defense against corrosive attacks, but also—it can self-repair after being damaged."

The researcher raised the monstrous claw, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Furthermore, we have overcome the problem of backlash, and with the addition of inhibitors, it is absolutely safe and reliable."

"This is the perfect future for card masters!"

This shocking and even somewhat disgusting scene once again caused the venue to erupt in excitement.

"This cleaning company came prepared, huh?!"

Yun Ruyan, sitting in the front row, looked at the biological modification on the stage and felt disgusted.

However, we must also acknowledge its practical value.

If Xue Mu can't come up with something better, then she'll have to swallow her pride.

We must also try our best to recruit them.

At this moment, Jiang Zhe felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the lump of flesh.

"Is this some kind of Resident Evil?"

He stared intently at the giant claw covered in black shell, and images flashed through his mind.

The remains of the yellow sands, and the various aspects of that mine—

That familiar, nauseating fluctuation, that identical shell, they are definitely from the same source!

Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe had already sentenced the project to death in his mind.

"Since this living tissue can repair and grow on its own, it means that it has extremely strong cellular activity and a predatory instinct."

"Sewing it onto your body is like planting a malignant tumor inside your body that could go berserk and take over at any time."

"Normally, it might be okay to suppress the effects with medicine in the safe zone, but the ruins are fraught with danger."

"6

"Once the card master is seriously injured, or their mental energy is exhausted to the point of weakness and loss of consciousness—"

Jiang Zhe's eyes were icy, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"If this thing gets out of control—then who will be in charge of this body?"

"That's not necessarily true."
