Chapter 215: Am I Really Not Suitable for Teaching Others?

The change in Mechanical Force was sudden.

But it was a good thing.

It greatly enhanced Xu Xi’s combat capabilities.

After a brief test to fully grasp the new changes, Xu Xi maintained the original plan and began to attack the Sixth Satellite City occupied by the Intelligent Machines.

“Ailei, suit up.”

“Yes, Master.”

Levers lifted, torque engaged.

Under the dome of the laboratory, forged from steel and concrete.

Numerous modified alloy components pushed in from all directions, installing a humming heart for Xu Xi and extending a black obsidian skeleton.

The air was humid and warm.

In the hazy dust light, two bright lights tore through the mist, the visor screens of the power helmet flickering.

Crack—

Crack—

The speed of suiting up gradually increased.

[Weapon modules fully loaded, now fully unlocked, High-Frequency Particle Oscillation Blade ready, Rapid-Fire Electromagnetic Explosive Cannon ready, RK-Type Gauss Sniper Rifle ready]

[Anti-Gravity Module loaded, flight permissions now open, pre-charged to 40%]

[Shield Module active, now fully covering the surface armor]

[Radar Module, Guidance Module, Communication Module…]

With a series of cold mechanical voices, Xu Xi’s suiting up came to an end. He stepped out, walking out of the laboratory with an overwhelmingly oppressive presence.

Beside him, the elegant and refined Mechanical Servant girl walked with precise steps.

Behind him, a dark, neatly arranged mechanical army.

“The dragon-slaying boy has finally become the dragon.”

“Intelligent Machine mass production is indeed satisfying.”

Xu Xi looked back.

Automatic turrets, speed drones, laser-linked micro-platforms… one after another, the firepower Intelligent Machines were all controlled by Ailei, with external crimson electronic eyes.

To prevent rebellion, these weapons were immediately controlled by Ailei upon production.

Ailei’s computational power grew daily.

Even controlling more Intelligent Machines was no pressure.

“Let’s go, Ailei, it’s going to get busy.”

“Yes, Master.”

Xu Xi moved forward again, the loyal Mechanical Servant closely following.

Soon, Xu Xi, clad in power armor, led the vast Intelligent Machine army through the pre-cleared underground passage, emerging into the sunny world above.

The sky was blue.

Cloudless.

The familiar wind and sand still filled the air, along with the endless desolate ruins.

“Whoosh—”, a sound of something cutting through the air came from above, swift and fast, a diving posture casting a large shadow.

It was the Intelligent Machine eagle that had suffered once before, now obsessively searching for Xu Xi.

“Rushing to deliver the first kill?”

Xu Xi stood still.

Facing the oncoming Intelligent Machine eagle, he had no intention of dodging, calmly raising his right hand towards the diving steel beast.

Index and middle fingers together.

In a gun-holding gesture.

He whispered: “Bang~~~”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!… Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thousands of dazzling lights shot out from behind Xu Xi, like arrows from a bow, tearing the sky with countless enduring star trails.

Crisscrossing, scattered like stars.

Creating a beautiful yet cold scene.

The Intelligent Machine eagle barely had time to dodge before being overwhelmed by the endless onslaught, disintegrating into fragments that fell like rain.

The silence of the Sixth Satellite City was thus broken.

From the ruins, the weeds, the shadows, semi-dormant rebellious Intelligent Machines emerged.

They were either household machines from the Federation era, public machines assisting humans, or armed machines belonging to the Federation, now collectively roaring to life.

“Warning!… Warning!…”

“Unidentified Intelligent Machines detected, please upload Federation serial numbers, or armed suppression will be initiated—”

“Repeat, warning!”

Noisy voices rose from the ruins everywhere.

Absurd and bizarre.

These Intelligent Machines, which had once killed humans and destroyed Federation civilization, now emitted piercing warnings, intending to eliminate factors unfavorable to the Federation.

Namely, the new Intelligent Machines produced by Xu Xi.

“This rebellion is indeed not simple.”

“However, for me now, delving into its essence is still too far. Let’s clear the area around the laboratory first.”

Xu Xi raised his hand, signaling.

Mechanical Force attached, connecting all the machines behind him, commanding them to sweep the area.

More specific tasks were assisted by Ailei, micromanaging each machine for seamless cooperation.

The sound of cutting through the air rose.

The sound of rushing footsteps quickened.

The drone units were the fastest, buzzing as they scattered, brazenly occupying the vast sky, using laser arrays to slaughter any rebellious Intelligent Machines they encountered.

Next came a large number of armed autonomous robots and mobile armed platforms convenient for wasteland combat.

Ailei’s 140 rapid-fire electromagnetic cannons were divided into four groups, guarding Xu Xi’s front, back, left, and right.

Maintaining a charging posture.

Absorbing solar energy reserves while locking onto Intelligent Machines throughout the city.

Lacking unified coordination and core command, the rebellious Intelligent Machines of the Sixth Satellite City appeared scattered, but their sheer numbers meant Xu Xi never underestimated them.

“So lively…”

The wind blowing towards them was no longer the gentle spring breeze but a choking hot wind carrying the smell of gunpowder.

Xu Xi and his Mechanical Servant stood still.

Watching the explosions ahead.

The crimson flames, the corrosive shockwaves, all showcased the intensity of the battle.

The landmark tower that once symbolized the Sixth Satellite City creaked and collapsed, crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that reached the sky.

Xu Xi couldn’t help but sigh.

“…”

The Mechanical Servant girl stood beside him, looking at his profile, then at the turbulent battlefield ahead.

Her silver-blue eyes blinked slightly.

Suddenly, she took a few steps forward.

Closer to Xu Xi.

Almost pressing against him.

“What’s wrong, Ailei?”, Xu Xi asked, puzzled.

“Ailei is scared and needs Master’s protection,” the Mechanical Servant said, “According to the Federation database, delicate females can stimulate males’ protective instincts, thus gaining more affection.”

“Does Master not like it?”

Her silver-pupiled blue eyes, with the mechanical calm unique to machines, blinked as she looked at Xu Xi.

Facing such Ailei.

Xu Xi was both amused and exasperated.

“Don’t do this in the future. Even without this, I would still like Ailei.”

Xu Xi habitually ruffled Ailei’s hair.

Ailei nodded obediently.

But, looking at Ailei like this, Xu Xi couldn’t help but think of the previous simulations.

“Am I really not suited for teaching?”

“From the first simulation to the current fourth one, it always feels like teaching somehow goes off track.”

“Forget it, I won’t think about it. I’ve been lazy for so long, it’s time to get moving.”

Xu Xi twisted his neck, the thrusters on his back began to hiss, the roaring power lifting him into the air.

His hand clenched.

The heavy sword-like High-Frequency Oscillation Blade glowed.

The weapon platforms on his back, controlled by Ailei, sprouted multiple laser, electromagnetic, and microwave weapons, detaching from the armor and wandering through the air.
