The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1041 - 406: Seven Hanba, Summon the Ancestor

"Wow!"

After repeatedly probing, the Chimera Mecha in mecha form didn’t budge an inch, and the personalities corresponding to its three heads suddenly disappeared.

GuaGua transformed into Goose Immortal and knocked on the metal shell, probing further.

Unexpectedly, Lan Qixiong still didn’t react, when it was ordered to stand by, that’s exactly what it did, executing the command very thoroughly.

"Beep... Beast tracks detected..."

"Life signs... weak..."

"Rank assessment... Shining World Fetus..."

"Overall threat level... zero..."

"Option A, capture."

"Option B, kill."

"Option C, ignore."

"Option D, customize..."

"Please, Human Master, make a decision within three seconds, otherwise the system will automatically switch to the most rational behavior mode based on the situation at hand..."

The mechanical voice, rich with the sound of metal friction, once again reached Ye Hanjun’s mind.

Ye Hanjun’s heart stirred, and he softly uttered the letter "A."

"Whoosh!!"

The humanoid giant mecha’s legs came together, with its toes turning into a drill bit, and it suddenly activated.

Amidst a series of "wurra wurra" sharp burrowing noises, it plunged into the ground, locked onto the prey, and pursued at high speed.

In just five or six breaths, the Chimera Mecha resurfaced.

As its legs returned to their normal state, the beast it held in its hand came into view.

It was a Shining World Great Completion "Mad Flame Mouse," fierce in nature and not very intelligent.

It struggled fiercely, repeatedly directing flames at the Chimera Mecha for an attack.

But it couldn’t even leave a single scorch mark on the metallic armor; its claws scraping and teeth gnawing were all in vain.

"Bang!"

Probably because the Mad Flame Mouse was making too much of a fuss, the Chimera Mecha gave its head a flick.

A force that was neither heavy nor light, paired with a precise hit on a vital point, just enough to knock it out.

Then, the Chimera Mecha tossed the Mad Flame Mouse to the ground, with an air of leaving it to be dealt with however one wished.

"Have it for dinner," Ye Hanjun said offhandedly.

He had eaten Mad Flame Mouse meat before, with a taste that came with its own Devil’s Pepper, sweating profusely after just a few bites, more intense than steaming in a sauna.

"Receiving cooking instructions, ’Happy Life Steward System’ automatically activated..."

"Plan 1, barbecue, recommendation index 20."

"Plan 2, steaming, recommendation index 40."

"Plan 3, stewing, recommendation index 60."

"Plan 4, raw, recommendation index 80."

"Plan 5, ice hot pot, recommendation index 90, requires the use of a high-rank Ice attribute Crystal Stone..."

"Eh?"

GuaGua’s brain had almost failed to catch up, and by the time it figured out the content of the monotone mechanical voice, its eyes lit up, as if it had found a super fun toy:

"It can do more than fight?"

"This mecha form is so fun, an all-purpose nanny with an artificial intelligence system... Worthy of Unparalleled Skills, so interesting!"

"Raw!"

Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and suddenly said.

"Beep... Begin cooking!"

The Chimera Mecha transitioned from a static to dynamic state in an instant.

The first to move was the blade on the right arm, each cut extremely precise.

Soon, the beast’s skin was cut open, sharp bones removed, and the fresh red meat along with the steaming organs were all neatly and separately placed according to a specific method.

Ye Hanjun glanced over, immediately grasping the situation.

The Chimera Mecha had allocated the food based on the number and characteristics of the spirits present; the most meat was put in front of Goose Immortal, the least in front of Huazhu, but nothing was prepared for GuaGua, Absolute String, Mo, Mu Yi.

Furthermore, clear allocations were made for Ye Liuying’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, as well as Liefeng and Golden Crow.

The mecha form’s auto-matching intelligent system very perfectly and efficiently anticipated the dietary needs of all the spirits present.

"What else can you do? How long can you maintain this state? If this skill is used often, are there any downsides?"

GuaGua was too curious and asked a bunch of questions at once.

"Beep... Wide-ranging question detected, analyzing..."

"Result statement—as of now, the primary energy consumption for this form comes from the body’s physical strength and mental energy."

"If granted ’King Yan’s Empowerment,’ to enjoy the nourishment of the Flesh Furnace and Soul Spring, this state’s duration can be extended."

"Once the state is maintained, battle, assassination, reconnaissance, defense... all functions are ready."

"In principle, this mode has no serious downsides, but the existence of bugs is not ruled out."

"Additional information, due to the lack of a ’heart,’ the system is absolutely rational with no real emotional fluctuations, and cannot empathize with any living beings..."

"Beep... Electricity reduction alert, total remaining electricity 98%..."

"Self-check, weapon system intact, defense system intact... No new orders received, Sentinel mode activated..."

...

After some exploration, Ye Hanjun’s sense of novelty still hadn’t diminished.

The Chimera Mecha was too unique; speaking of absolute combat power, it might only be at the level of a limit skill, not as powerful as Mu Yi’s "Emperor of Corpses."

But its functions were incredibly comprehensive; once its system was in operation and logic assessed, it would proactively analyze the enemy’s weaknesses, striving to end each fight in a way that minimized energy consumption.

With it around, it was like having a second brain, absolutely rational, absolutely objective.

Ye Hanjun didn’t have to worry about Little Lazy Lion failing at a critical moment or She Xiaoxiong being too fierce and hurting himself. He just needed to ensure that there was enough energy, and that was enough.

"Change back, I’m starting to miss Xiaoqi, xiaolan, and Xiaoxiong!"

Exhausted from playing for so long, GuaGua circled around and urged.

"Permission insufficient, unable to execute command."

The Chimera Mecha’s cold response infuriated the little one until its cheeks puffed up.

"Do as GuaGua says, three heads alive are more personable."
