5 Arrival of the System, S-Grade Energy Core?

"System? Upgrade???"

These two very common words had appeared in this manner.

For a moment, Lin Chen saw something even more surprising than an aircraft carrier mecha!

This was an indispensable cheat in online novels!

It could be said that having this already declared him to be the protagonist of this apocalypse.

With this thought in mind, he did not waste any more time and asked tentatively in his mind, imitating the usual opening of online novels.

"System, are you there?"

Soon, the mechanical voice sounded again.

[Ding! Please enter the command!]

It was real!

Lin Chen suppressed his excitement. After calming down for a moment, he slowly said, "System, introduce your abilities."

[Ding! This system is called the Supreme Mecha System. The decree is to create a supreme mecha for the host!]

[System abilities:]

[Ability 1: When obtaining an energy core, there is a 1% chance of obtaining a unique skill!]

[Ability 2: When you accumulate a certain amount of energy and metal alloys, you can upgrade your current mecha! Please open the system interface for details!]

Although there were only two simple abilities, if one thought about it carefully, just the first ability was already perverse enough.

Collecting energy and metals could upgrade mechas. While collecting energy, there was also a chance of obtaining a bonus skill with the second ability. This was equivalent to upgrading in all aspects!

After he finished reading the introduction on the skills, Lin Chen was already excited.

He could not wait to get more energy cores.

However, before that, he had to upgrade his mecha first.

After all, there was as much as 10 billion dollars of energy in his mecha's store. If he accidentally broke the energy store while fighting the monsters, he might very well be playing with fire and immolating himself.

Therefore, out of sight, out of mind. This was also a good opportunity to see how strong the system's so-called upgraded mecha was.

He immediately summoned the system interface and clicked on the column for mecha upgrade.

Soon, a huge purple transparent panel appeared in the air.

[Current stored energy: 2,000 tonnes]

[Current energy core: B-grade x1]

[Energy required for upgrade: 2,000 tonnes of ultra-quality energy/S-grade energy core X1/A-grade energy core X3/B-grade energy core X5/C-grade energy core X10/D-grade energy core X20+1,000 tonnes of steel]

"S-grade energy core!"

This made him a little excited.

Based on his memories from his previous life, Lin Chen clearly remembered that the level of the mecha's energy core was set by the World Alliance at that time.

At that time, on the third day after the Cyber Armageddon, all the upper echelons of the world united the cyber people who had awakened their mechas and formed the World Cyber Alliance.

This alliance, like the Avengers in Marvel, was established to maintain world peace.

They only had one goal, and that was to protect ordinary humans, expel mecha monsters, and build a steel fortress!

On the fifth day, the World Alliance issued a series of rules and treaties.

This included the classification of the mecha monsters.

The monsters were ranked from high to low: S, A, B, C, D…

Among them, D-grade mecha monsters posed the least threat.

They were the mecha forms of some ants, mosquitoes or flies. After mecha transformation, these creatures would grow to the size of house cats. Ordinary awakened watch-type mechas would be able to easily subdue them.

D-grade mecha monsters evolved from rats, young cats, and dogs. After evolution, their bodies were similar to the size of ordinary motorcycles and were more dangerous.

C-grade mecha monsters evolved from adult cats and dogs or wild cats and dogs.

Among them, human pets would retain their memories of their owners after the mecha awakening, but they would attack other people and creatures indiscriminately.

B-grade consisted of some giant animals and ferocious beasts. They were usually wild. After the mecha cyber transformation, their destructive power was comparable to some heavy weapons. Humans mainly faced these mecha monsters.

As for the A and S-grades, the officials did not clearly provide the specifics of the types. They only provided a rough concept.

It was probably the grade of some ancient creatures that had obtained the mecha transformation.

They were more ferocious, faster, and more terrifying than ordinary wild beasts.

It was said that when the beast tide erupted in his previous life, the leader was an S-grade ancient saber-toothed tiger. However, Lin Chen had already died before he saw the so-called saber-toothed tiger.

Therefore, at most he only knew the A-grade energy core.

He still remembered that in his previous life, on the fifth day of the Cyber Armageddon, an A-Grade lion mecha appeared in the suburbs. It was incomparably ferocious, and the allied countries had to mobilize dozens of cyber people to kill it.

An A-grade already had such a terrifying ability, let alone an S-grade!

And now, he happened to have a high-quality energy source that was comparable to the S-grade energy core. This was what excited him!

Although this energy source was enough to support the consumption of a city for a year, without taking risks, there would be no gains. There would only be returns if he invested it!

In addition to energy, 1,000 tonnes of steel were needed.

However, since the system said that the requirements for steel had been met, then the only thing Lin Chen could think of was those main battle tanks and fourth-generation fighter jets which would be given with the purchase of the aircraft carrier…

Although those things were also under his name, the rule of the game was that awakening was the most valuable. In this way, these things would become scrap metal.

If they were sold by the catties, they would really be about a thousand tonnes.

During Cyber Armageddon, this steel was even inferior to sand!

Therefore, Lin Chen resolutely chose to press the upgrade button on the interface.

After hearing a ding sound, his vision suddenly went black.

When he woke up again, he was already on the dock of the shipyard, and he had regained his human body.

Just when he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly saw a massive object standing in the sea not far away.

It towered into the clouds, blocking the bright moon above the firmament.

Lin Chen subconsciously thought that it was some kind of a mecha monster, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was his aircraft carrier mecha!

At this moment, the sound of machinery colliding could be heard from time to time on the mecha.

"System… What am I doing?"

Naturally, Lin Chen asked.

Why did he bounce himself out after leveling up?

[Ding! Currently, the mecha is being upgraded. Due to your mecha being too large, the time needed to upgrade the mecha is longer.]

"I can understand that, but what I want to ask is, why was I ejected?"

In his previous life, the cyber people could also freely change between their mecha and human forms.

However, at that time, the cyber people's mecha were one with humans.

It was similar to Ultraman's transformation device.

The cyber people also had a so-called transformer.

When they came into contact with it and became transformed, the mecha would also dissipate.

Simply put, the cyber person and his mecha would not appear at the same time.

However, in this situation, it was obvious that some force had separated him from the mecha.

This situation caused his sense of security to plummet.

After all, this was not a safe zone. Not to mention a Tom, Dick, or Harry in mecha form, even an ant in mecha form could kill an unarmed human.

He could only pray that no mecha beasts would come before the mecha upgrade was completed.

However, it also poured when the roof leaked. Suddenly, an ear-piercing roar came from the shipyard behind him. What followed was the violent vibration of the ground and the sound of steel hitting the ground!

Lin Chen turned around and saw a giant crab in mecha form charging at him!
