From Cybernetics Repairman to God of Machines

Gu Cheng couldn't wait to get up and look at the 5D game interface that resembled a sandbox.

He tried adjusting the distance, and the next second, a vast continental map appeared before his eyes, featuring lavishly decorated kingdoms, deep and gloomy jungles, desolate and frigid glaciers, and various strange creatures that looked like ants walking along the way.

This is God!

Even if, for some reason, it is currently in a weakened state, it can still look down upon the world.

However, when Gu Cheng tried to zoom in to examine some areas, he received warnings.

[Warning: This territory belongs to the "Covenant of Meteorite Iron and Blood".]

[The Ruler: Lord of War, Heros.]

[Moderate divine power detected; Authority level: higher than the player!]

[Continuing to spy will attract the attention of the God of War. Confirm?]

Gu Cheng was startled and withdrew his probing divine sense.

In simple terms: What kind of gang are you involved with?

Compared to those with moderate divine power, Gu Cheng, who was only weak in divine power, was practically a nobody on the street!

The streets haven't been taken yet, so there's no need to go head-to-head with established gangs that have built up some reputation. For Gu Cheng, developing his strength cautiously is more suitable for the short journey ahead!

Compared to the turmoil outside, his followers are far more important to Gu Cheng!

The game interface has been reduced in size again.

The pixelated figures, which were originally filled with despair, now all have "fanatical" emotions marked above their heads.

Marked at the bottom of the screen:

[Because the deity accepted the offering, your Faith value has been increased by 50 points!]

[Three people witnessed a miracle and became deeply devout!]

By accepting offerings, Gu Cheng gave a much-needed boost to the despairing believers.

In Gu Cheng's eyes, these dwarfs, who were uncultured in light industry but could conjure up simple guns by hand in heavy industry, were no longer just pixels, but a coveted commodity that could provide a continuous supply of pure resources.

Gu Cheng muttered to himself, "You absolutely cannot die."

The mere fact that he has fresh blood and flesh can bring Gu Cheng unexpected benefits.

Gu Cheng tried clicking on the "Show a Miracle" button, which had an exclamation mark on it.

And in the very next second...

[Side quest triggered!]

Grom Anvil is severely injured with a missing arm; he can be repaired using a miracle.

[Scanning store inventory...]

[Labor-7, Hayabusa-III, Bulwark-Defender, Gravedigger Prototype (damaged/85% repaired) (right), etc.]

Upon seeing the "Gravedigger Prototype," a pang of heartache flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes.

This prosthetic body, equipped with a pulse module and a nitrogen energy storage impact system, is one of the three prized possessions of the entire store.

The damaged model cost him half of his savings, and it took him two whole years to search for replacement parts and repair and debug it before it was barely restored to a usable state.

Its technology far surpasses the current mainstream wasteland setting, and many of its functions cannot even be fully replicated.

This was originally a replacement for Gu Cheng's own flesh and blood.

But right now...

If the dwarf believers can be preserved and a stable supply of offerings maintained, the benefits will far outweigh those of a single robotic arm.

The survival of believers is an infinite treasure.

Gu Cheng understood the trade-off between an inanimate object and a potentially endless source of fresh water.

However, the most important point right now is that Grom lost his left arm, which does not match the Gravedigger prototype (right).

Gu Cheng was already used to this.

The other arm can be simply pulled off and replaced with a robotic arm!

As a prosthetic repairman, Gu Cheng always keeps in mind the admonition on the title page of the manual!

Flesh and blood are not the obsession; machines are eternal.

A race that can be bullied like this by kobolds needs some serious action!

After searching, Gu Cheng selected two prosthetic bodies: the Falcon Eye-III (left) and the Gravedigger Prototype (right).

The former allows for the flicking of probes from the fingertips, making it highly sensitive and suitable for precision repairs.

The latter has a built-in pulse cannon and nitrogen-charged impact module, capable of piercing through steel plates with a single punch; it is a pure battering ram.

[Warning: The compatibility of this device with the recipient's original limbs is unknown. The process of divine power modification and adaptation will consume additional faith points.]

[Perform partial "Miracle - Mechanical Grace" repair and modification on the target "Grom Anvil". Estimated total cost: 150 Faith Points.]

[Confirm?]

Gu Cheng no longer hesitated: "Confirm consumption. Repair."

Faith value dropped from 218 to 68.

Just as the offerings appeared in the room, as Gu Cheng confirmed, the spatial rift reappeared, quietly swallowing the two mechanical arms!

……

Misty jungle.

Grom Anvil remained kneeling in prayer. As the strongest warrior, the loss of his left arm clearly meant that his race had lost its last refuge!

Those bloodthirsty, brutal bastards will eventually return.

Not to mention, the area is also infested with goblins, barbarians, and numerous magical beasts. If they find the camp undefended, they will rush in without hesitation.

When that time comes...

The entire camp will probably be destroyed!

For Grom, praying to the gods had become his only option.

He once again kowtowed to the ground, trying to gain the favor of the mechanical god, but without warning, he was enveloped in a white light!

In a daze, he heard the sound of gears turning!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Grom had no idea how much time had passed. When the light faded, Grom was surprised to find that his arm, which had been in excruciating pain, was now completely free of pain!

Not only that, he looked down and saw that his left arm had been replaced by a silver-gray metal prosthetic body, with five fingers opening and closing flexibly, and the joints glowing with a pale blue energy light.

His right arm, which was originally a whole arm of flesh and blood, was now covered by the ferocious Gravedigger prototype. The energy storage patterns of the pulse module were faintly visible on the surface of the black armor, and the nitrogen nozzles were flashing red at the elbow.

Everything happened too suddenly.

The only remaining dwarf was clearly stunned.

Grom stared blankly at the mechanical arms that were beyond his comprehension. The usually strong warrior, at this moment, let tears well up in his eyes without hesitation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he kowtowed heavily, his forehead striking the ground: "Thank you, God of Machines! Thank you for your blessing!"

god!

The gods finally heard his prayers and granted him the miracle he had been hoping for!

Gu Cheng looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Information is constantly being updated in the retina:

[A miracle has been successfully performed!]

[Grom Anvil's Faith Level Increased to: Zealot]

[The faith level of all believers has increased, and the daily faith point income has increased to 78 points.]

[Unlock new features: Oracle System (can consume Faith Points to send messages to believers), Altar Construction (requires believers to execute; new abilities are unlocked upon completion)]

Subsequently, Gu Cheng issued the first divine decree.

[Collect available resources, prioritizing metals, energy crystals, and fresh flesh.]

Two days later, the next sacrificial ceremony will be held.

Gu Cheng needed to give the other party some time to prepare, after all, the camp was in a dilapidated state at the moment.

The things he was asking for were all relatively important resources in this land.

An oracle whispered in Grom's ear, and he immediately bowed to the altar and spoke:

"As you command, mighty god of machines!"

Gu Cheng tried to control the game interface with his mind and turned it off. To his surprise, the sandbox-like game projection disappeared without a trace in an instant.

What surprised Gu Cheng even more was...

Even in reality, the attribute panel in front of him was still there!
