Chapter 98: Looks like ..... .omega light?

The Adventure contributed a batch of energy crystals, which Discovery ruthlessly hijacked and placed in the energy crystals reserve.

Tang Bai and the captain said he wanted to make a mech pet and needed to use up some energy crystals.

At this point, the old captain knew nothing about the amount of food the eggs were eating and let them go with a flourish.

Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang walk into the energy reserve together, and the moment they enter, the mecha egg, which has been lying quietly, suddenly starts to shake slightly and rolls out of Tang Bai's hand with joy.

"Look how hungry the child is." Tang Bai placed the mecha egg on a pile of energy crystals, and the moment the pitch-black metal egg touched the energy crystals, the energy crystals, which were originally as crystalline and watery as beautiful jade, turned into powder with a swish.

A shine flashed on the eggshell and the mecha egg automatically rolled towards another pile of energy crystals that had not been scourged.

[Where did Tang Bai find the mecha eggs?

[This egg is so edible]

[A little too good at eating, consuming a tenth of the energy crystals in the energy bank in one go]

"...... I think the boat of my friendship with the captain might capsize." Tang Bai said sombrely.

Xie Ruhang reassured, "It's a blessing to be able to eat."

"No!" Tang Bai grabbed the heavy mecha egg, "If we keep eating Discovery, we won't have much energy left!"

By now the mecha egg had consumed all the energy contributed by the Adventure, plus a third of Discovery's own reserves, and its shell was shiny and made a faint rattling sound as it appeared to be breaking its shell.

Tang Bai, who has not yet seen the mechanical vine break its shell, holds the egg in the palm of his hand, and Xie Ruhang holds Tang Bai's hand in his, as the three families come together in harmony.

"Thump, thump." A tapping sound came from the mech egg.

Tang Bai's eyes showed a touch of love and emotion: "It was as if a little life had come to us, knocking carefully on our door and asking timidly if we could let it in."

Not quite understanding Tang Bai's slender yet romantic thoughts, Xie Ruhang told Tang Bai, "When I hatched him before, he used to make that sound."

"Well ...... It should mean that there are not enough energy crystals to eat, and they want more."

The mecha egg shakes slightly in excitement, as if in agreement with Xie Ruhang's words.

Tang Bai: "......"

Tang Bai placed the heavy egg in Xie Ruhang's hand, and as he extended his finger, he flicked the mecha egg's brain while saying coldly, "No more, shut up!"

The egg continues to bang reluctantly, as if the little beggar is banging on an empty rice bowl.

Xie Ruhang frowned at the sight of the mecha egg daring to challenge Tang Bai's authority on education, "Don't contradict your little dad."

The egg is aggressively quiet.

Tang Bai walks out of the energy reserve in vain under the pained gaze of the old captain, who is beginning to wonder if he can pull the mechanical vine to grow.

"Attention all players! The virus has spread to the vicinity of the Energy Star! In order to contain the virus, we have decided to implement a mechanical vine program! All players are requested to deliver 90% of the energy on their ships to Discovery ......"

Tang Bai was relieved to hear the system announcing that crowdfunding for his cubs had taken a lot of pressure off him.

With nearly half of the ship's NPCs ready to return to the ship, and with these NPCs and players now arguing on the ship, Tang Bai decided to take the mechanical vines to these ships first to dabble in food and drink.

Discovery's mechs follow Tang Bai on board other ships, and there are many of them, so they can be used to suppress the NPCs if necessary.

Gu Tunan and his team were very good at this business of terrorizing the NPCs, and when a bunch of alpha's arrived at the energy reserve in full armor, the NPCs watched in grief as their ship's energy was swept away by the mech eggs, as the players of their ship "defected" and the bandits of the alien ship were worth their weight in gold.

After the mechanical vines had scourged the energy reserves of two more ships, the eggshell finally cracked and a slender mechanical vine burrowed out, followed by a second and a third ......

More and more vines topped the eggshell and, as the crowd watched, it reached out a tender vine and nuzzled the tip of Tang Bai's finger affectionately.

[It's kinda cute, but can such a tiny one really stop the insects?

[I noticed that it looks a bit like Xie Ruhang's real life mechanical pet, wait, it seems to be the data import of Xie Ruhang's mech pet]

The vine now carries itself with the pure aura of a newborn child, very different from the old, horny aura it had when we first met.

The more Tang Bai looks at it, the stranger it gets... quite a nice pup, why was the mechanical vine so nasty when he met with it then?

Anyway, this cub has to save the day, and Tang Bai gently strokes the little vine regardless, making the little leaves on the vine clatter with delight.

"You must try to grow up and defeat the insects!" Tang Bai whispered softly to the vine.

The vines responded to him with an even fiercer clatter.

" Brother Xie look, it's promising me." Tang Bai said with relief.

Xie Ruhang is silent for a moment, but in the end does not tell the brutal truth that this voice is the vine still trying to feed.

*

"Do you think that they will succeed?" Zheng said nervously.

The headmaster looks live at Tang Bai and the mechanical vine, which has grown to the size of a small flat building and is doing bonding exercises with Xie Ruhang.

The data import is to import the real mechanical vines into the game. The owner of the real mechanical vines is still Xie Ruhang, and only Xie Ruhang can bring out the full power of the mechanical vines.

The strengths of the mechanical vines can only be fully exploited when combined with the mechs, whose roots are parasitic on the mechs, and countless vines weave new bodies, allowing the mechs to achieve gigantic size.

The mechanical vines themselves have a strong defence, comparable to that of the insect virus, and each vine can fight individually, and together they are even more powerful.

When Xie Ruhang fights the Bug in his mechanical vine parasitic mech, he doesn't need to defeat the Bug, he just needs to stall that Bug to buy valuable time for his teammates to reach the energy planet in their ships.

This battle plan, called the Mechanical Vine, has a survival rate infinitely close to 100 per cent, the highest of the countless options.

In fact, at the time, in addition to the decoy plan, they came up with a plan with a higher survival rate called the self-destruct plan.

All students who could pilot the ship steered it to the insects to activate self-destruct mode, a plan that also had a ninety percent survival rate.

This plan was not taken up for three reasons: firstly, there were very few students who could fly the ship, and secondly, there were even fewer students who could fly the ship and were willing to self-sacrifice (death in a game infected by a bioinformatic virus has a certain chance of leading to brain death in reality).

Thirdly, Tang Bai is one of the few students who can fly a spaceship.

He is the sole heir to the Tang Family, the most influential mech builder of the Federation's new generation, and a likely future master weapon builder to succeed Lord Tang Rong's Weapons Institute.

His Excellency Tang Rong has done the Commonwealth a great service and his wife died in an early Imperial hunt against the Commonwealth, and the Commonwealth would be ashamed of its heroes if His Excellency Tang Rong's only grandson were to die in the hunt.

So out of the thirteen options that were uploaded to the military, that self-destruct plan was secretly crossed off by someone in the upper echelons of the Federation.

The Principal opened the document again, " His Excellency Tang Rong also believed that there was no need to give special attention to Tang Bai, that there was no difference between life and death, and that since he (Tang Bai) had chosen this path, he was ready to sacrifice, and that Tang Family understood and obeyed all the arrangements made by the military and the school. "

The next part of the passage reads, " His Excellency Tang Rong was in favour of the self-destruction plan, and His Excellency Tang Rong believed that Tang Bai would have chosen the self-destruction plan if Tang Bai had been given the choice to do so. His Excellency Tang Rong said that it is important not to dictate anyone's life and that children should be left to make their own choices."

The headmaster looked up at Tang Bai, who was smiling brightly on the screen, and after a long time, he let out a very soft and gentle sigh.

His Excellency Tang Rong is still wrong.

The boy didn't choose any of the thirteen plans, he came up with a brand new one.

A programme that can save everyone.

What do people call this child?

It seems to be... . a light?

Tang Bai stands in the doorway of the mech training room watching Xie Ruhang and the vines grinding away at their training.

Getting the mechatronics' ideas down to the mechanical vines in a timely manner without causing a time lag is currently the focus of the grind training.

Tang Bai has created a neural link between the mechanical vine and the driving helmet, so that any ideas that Xie Ruhang has in mind can be communicated to the mechanical vine and acted upon in time.

Xie Ruhang saw Tang Bai smiling at him through the display in the cockpit and said, "How are you getting on?"

Xie Ruhang controls the mech and extends his mechanical arm surrounded by emerald green vines to Tang Bai, he stops his mechanical palm in front of Tang Bai and nimbly manipulates it to make a finger hooking motion to Tang Bai, "Come up."

Tang Bai didn't come up first, poking his fingers at the turquoise vine in a novel way.

Not long ago, the mechanical vine had just broken out of its shell and was so thin that it could be wrapped around his fingertips, but now its size had been reversed and Tang Bai had to open his arms to wrap his arms around the reconstructed "finger" of the mechanical vine.

That's what adults often say to their juniors when they say, "You've grown up so much in the blink of an eye.

Old father Tang Bai smiles with relief.

Xie Ruhang in the vine mech is enjoying a giant's view at the moment, and Tang Bai in the display looks small, like a delicate hand-me-down.

Tang Bai touched the giant "finger" with his tiny fingertips and then, after wondering what had occurred to him, he curled his eyes and smiled sweetly, then obediently climbed into the giant mechanical palm and sat on his knees on the mechanical vine palm, curiously stroking the leaves that greeted him.

The image is so cute that the corners of Xie Ruhang's lips rise wildly, and his heart feels the pleasure of holding Tang Bai in the palm of his hand.

I can't imagine that vines have this kind of effect, all he had learned before was that ......

As Xie Ruhang was caught up in the memory, countless mechanical vines suddenly emerged from the mechs on his hands, first weaving into a semi-circular hood that covered Tang Bai in a flash, and then tying up Tang Bai's limbs with thin, tough branches in a fluid motion.

Tang Bai: "......?"
