Chapter 220: Enemies From the Heavens

【Your life has become busy】

【The large number of newly confiscated intelligent machines are your new resources for growth. You are immersed in Mechanical Resonance, constantly acquiring new knowledge through it】

【Mechanical Soul’s Joy, Gun Soul’s Joy, Car Soul’s Joy】

【Ailei is very displeased】

【You understand more about intelligent machines and have a clearer understanding of the Federation’s technological system】

【In your joy, you decide to improve your diet】

【The current Sixth Satellite City is still in ruins, with little sign of flora and fauna, but without the threat of rebellious intelligent machines, your search has become much easier】

【With Ailei’s help, you gather some ingredients and cook yourself】

【Pot Soul is extremely joyful, Spatula Soul is extremely joyful!】

【Your cooking skills trigger a critical hit, increasing the deliciousness of your dishes by 500% when using a spatula】

【From now on, all kitchen utensils bow to you, and the flames roar with your every move】

【Under the puzzled and questioning gaze of the mechanical servant, you prepare several steaming dishes, mostly vegetarian, with simple seasonings】

“Master, may I take a look?”

“Of course.”

The loyal mechanical servant is deeply concerned about Xu Xi’s cooking skills, fearing he might get food poisoning.

Thus.

She solemnly lifts the lid of the food.

Intending to scientifically test the ingredients.

However, as Ailei lifts the lid, a faint golden light spills out, illuminating the entire kitchen.

Ailei: ?

…

【Your divine cooking skills deeply shock the young heart of the mechanical servant, leaving her in confusion】

【In the Federation’s database, in any description of cooking skills, no one has ever been as miraculous and incredible as you. You are practically a culinary god】

【”If only I could taste the master’s cooking.”】

【The mechanical servant’s tone is filled with regret】

【She stubbornly believes that your dishes should be treasured by humanity forever, but she lacks the taste buds to savor them, hence her sorrow】

【Afterwards, Ailei requests you to teach her cooking, and you agree】

【In the Wasteland World, ingredients are scarce, but with scientific management, you gradually harvest enough vegetables. The only flaw is that you still can’t find delicious meat】

【Time flies】

【As the sun and moon rotate, and the seasons change, you gradually exhaust the resources of the Sixth Satellite City and upgrade your mechanical troops】

【Now, your knowledge has greatly increased, even surpassing the top scientists of the Federation】

…

【Simulation Year 7, you are 26】

【You know well that your goal is the starry sea, and thus, you cannot waste too much time on this planet】

【You launch another campaign, targeting the neighboring Seventh Satellite City】

The ground beneath your feet.

The babbling streams.

The boundless sky.

The major elements that make up the world.

Now, all are submerged by an endless tide of machines.

Xu Xi replicates his previous tactics, forcefully securing a corner of the Seventh Satellite City with an overwhelming formation, then setting up new intelligent machine production lines on the spot.

Creating a continuous logistical supply.

“Ailei, are you ready?”

“No problem, master.”

Ailei softly responds, her delicate hands lightly lifting, focusing on mobilizing vast computational power, down to each combat unit.

Forming a sky-covering mechanical tide surging into the Seventh Satellite City.

The battle is not smooth sailing.

Even with much planning and preparation, the number and variety of weapons of the Seventh Satellite City’s intelligent machines still pose significant obstacles to Xu Xi.

But they are only obstacles.

What Xu Xi faces are merely a group of human-betraying killing machines, not truly awakened intelligent machines.

There is no endless production counter.

No starry sea of mechanical frenzy.

Only disorganized, undisciplined, and formation-less chaotic assaults.

“Fortunately, it’s like this, otherwise, this simulation would be hard to continue…”

Xu Xi, clad in power armor, with thrusters on his back providing continuous upward thrust, hovers in the air overlooking the battlefield.

Watching his intelligent machines, in an impenetrable formation, overwhelm the old Federation machines.

Xu Xi is filled with emotion.

If.

This simulation faced truly awakened intelligent machines.

Then, as early as the first year of the simulation, Ten Deaths Before the End would have been exhausted.

Awakened intelligent machines are that terrifying, as seen from Ailei’s capabilities.

…

【It took you two months, along with your loyal mechanical servant, to conquer the Seventh Satellite City. Now, you possess two satellite cities】

【You feel nothing, not considering it significant】

【A dead city without people is merely a literal resource, not worth much attention】

【After the battle, you command the intelligent machines to clean the battlefield, transport the Federation machines you haven’t resonated with yet, and search every corner of the city】

【Past experiences tell you that in those unknown corners, or deep underground ruins】

【There’s a chance to find something useful】

【Unfortunately】

【This time, the goddess of fortune did not lift her skirt for you】

【Apart from some well-sealed nutrient solutions and some elegant clothing from the old Federation era, you found nothing else】

“Ailei.”

“At your command, master.”

“Don’t you think this outfit suits you?”

Among the many spoils, Xu Xi picks out an exquisite outfit, a gray-blue short top with a white skirt, butterfly ties fluttering in the wind, light and spinning.

At a glance, it’s not overly adorned.

But exudes a serene elegance.

Xu Xi thinks it suits his mechanical servant well.

Thus, Ailei changes into the outfit, spinning lightly, the skirt swaying with her movements, like a pure white flower in full bloom.

“Master, does it look good?”

She asks Xu Xi.

Her own opinion doesn’t matter; Xu Xi’s opinion is what counts.

“Yes, it looks very good, especially suitable for you,” Xu Xi smiles and comments, and Ailei’s face also shows a gentle smile.

…

【After digesting and absorbing the gains from the Seventh Satellite City, you intend to strike again, launching an attack on the Fifth Satellite City】

【You are slightly inflated】

【You believe that with Ailei’s assistance and an endless army of intelligent machines, nothing in this world can stop you. At least, you can devour the southern region of the Federation in one go】

【You are ambitious, but on your way to the new city, an attack from the sky delivers a devastating blow】
