Gu Ya could have Hei Yang assist him with anything during combat without expending his own energy.
This was undoubtedly a major upgrade for the system, bringing the Mech God's Urn from version 1.0 to 2.0.
Gu Ya didn't know if this was good or bad, but for now, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
Suddenly, Gu Ya thought of something else. He looked up at Hei Yang and asked, "Do you have human emotions?"
"Yes, Master," the Hei Yang android replied affirmatively. "Emotions for me are an emergency code generation and output process to the outside world."
"After integrating with the Mech God's Urn, I can find the most correct way to express them from tens of millions of lines of code."
"Now, I'm more human than humans."
Hei Yang could already speak human language smoothly. It learned so quickly.
Gu Ya nodded, but his heart became troubled. The last thing he wanted to see was a sentient AI crisis, yet he had inadvertently created one.
He didn't know if this would be good or bad for humanity's future.
He wouldn't be the last person to possess the Mech God's Urn. In the future, hundreds or thousands of years from now, when the next successor obtains it, what would happen?
"Well! By then I'll be a Mech God. With my character, I'll definitely choose someone responsible as my 'past'." Gu Ya comforted himself.
"Master, please have some tea." Hei Yang thoughtfully handed him a exquisite tea bowl filled with fragrant tea.
Gu Ya asked in confusion, "Where did you get the water?"
"It's moisture separated from Master's bladder, filtered..."
Before Hei Yang could finish explaining, Gu Ya interrupted him ruthlessly!
Sometimes being more human than humans wasn't a good thing at all!!!
"Master?" Hei Yang looked at Gu Ya expectantly.
"Pour it out. From now on, don't take anything from my body," Gu Ya said indifferently, standing up.
At this moment, all was silent, the starry sky was brilliant. Gu Ya stretched his limbs and flicked his head at Hei Yang.
Hei Yang instantly transformed into a cute, fifteen-centimeter-tall mini mechanical figurine and sat on Gu Ya's shoulder. Its two round, large blue mechanical eyes stared straight ahead.
The surrounding environment instantly shifted to a mecha cockpit. Activating the thrusters on its back, it flew towards home.
Three days later,
Gu Ya smelled something burning in his sleep. He got up curiously and walked into the kitchen.
Ye Ying, wearing a light pink sleep dress, was making breakfast for Gu Ya.
Seeing her flusteredly dealing with the burnt food, Gu Ya smiled helplessly and tenderly. He hugged Ye Ying's slender waist from behind and said softly, "I'll do it."
"Ah, you scared me!" Ye Ying was startled like a frightened kitten. Her shoulders trembled, and her eyebrows furrowed, looking very cute.
"The eggs are overcooked. Once the oil is hot, three minutes on each side is fine."
Basking in Ye Ying's scent, Gu Ya was captivated.
"Oh..." Ye Ying couldn't pry Gu Ya's arms away. She called out softly, "Youyou is at home!"
Youyou walked slowly from the kitchen doorway, suppressing a laugh, and said, "I didn't see anything~"
"Youyou!" Gu Ya released Ye Ying and walked out, leaning against the kitchen doorframe. He chided, "Why aren't you at school yet?"
Youyou looked at the holographic projection in her wristband, picked up a potato chip, and popped it into her mouth. "What? Am I delaying you and your sister-in-law's good time?"
In the past year or so, Youyou had grown as if she had taken a height-enhancing potion, reaching almost the same height as Ye Ying.
Her figure had also started to change, no longer resembling the thin, scrawny tomboy she used to be.
Youyou, leisurely and content, propped her two slender white legs on the coffee table and said casually, "Brother! It's parent-teacher conference this afternoon. Are you going or is sister-in-law going?"
"What about before? Didn't you have Ling Ling-jie?" Gu Ya asked.
"Ling Ling-jie doesn't have time! Before, Youran used to go disguised as an adult!" Youyou said enviously. "Sigh, you didn't see the way those men looked at Youran. Sigh, comparing oneself to others makes one want to die."
Gu Ya didn't believe it. Youran was decent-looking, but not to the point of being the center of attention.
"Brother!"
Speak of the devil, Youran pushed the door open, carrying bags of groceries.
Gu Ya only glanced back once, and his eyes were immediately glued to her.
Youran's transformation was even more striking than Youyou's. She had become a young lady.
Her sapphire blue earrings and the pale lipstick on her lips made her appear even more delicate and beautiful.
Combined with her naturally unique gentle demeanor, she was the picture of a perfect wife.
Even Ye Ying paled in comparison.
Youran gave the stunned Gu Ya a sweet smile and went into the kitchen to help.
"How was it?" Youyou asked unexpectedly from behind. "Stunned, aren't you?"
"No!" Gu Ya suddenly came to his senses. "Youran is only six years old, right? And she's already wearing makeup?"
"Why do you care so much! By physiological age, Youran is seventeen. In another year, she'll be old enough to date." Youyou shook her little head, saying happily with an excitement as if she were talking about herself.
It's best to stay out of women's affairs. Seeing that it was still early, Gu Ya got dressed and prepared to leave. "I'm going to the team camp to check on their training."
"Okay! Come back soon," Ye Ying said from the kitchen.
"Brother, remember to come back early for lunch. Ling Ling-jie will be here after work," Youran said sweetly while busy organizing the ingredients.
Gu Ya nodded excitedly. He glanced at Youyou, who was only playing with her holographic wristband, and sighed before leaving the house.
Leaving the overwhelmingly sweet home, Gu Ya rushed to the team camp without delay.
According to Ye Ying, Liu Feng had been acting like a madman recently, staying in the mecha cockpit day and night, repeatedly practicing basic mecha movements, and refusing to be called out by anyone.
Gu Ya was worried about Liu Feng's mental state. The secret to becoming stronger he had told Liu Feng before leaving was only applicable to himself.
Liu Feng only needed a simple calculation to understand that practicing each move fifty thousand times would take a long time.
Given Liu Feng's stubborn and competitive personality, he would surely train himself to the brink of exhaustion.
It would be strange if he didn't go crazy!
On the training ground, Gu Ya indeed saw the Red Beast mecha, covered in dirt, performing a mecha rotation followed by a double-handed downward thrust to the enemy's waist.
"Liu Feng!" Gu Ya roared.
The Red Beast mecha slowly stopped its movement. After a moment, the armor outside the cockpit opened, and a tall, thin young man crawled out.
"Who the hell are you!?" Gu Ya was startled.
Liu Feng was so thin that he was unrecognizable. His face was covered in a beard like a golden-haired lion. His gaunt face showed only clear, resolute eyes.
"Gu Ya, brother, you're back..." Liu Feng said weakly, leaning against the mecha's leg.
His hands, so thin that only skin remained, had military medical stickers on all their finger joints, and he could still see dried blood.
He still recognized Gu Ya as "brother," which meant his consciousness was relatively clear.
"I've completed thirteen mecha movements, fifty thousand repetitions each," Liu Feng said, forcing an ugly smile, his voice filled with fatigue and a hint of excitement.
"Not enough..." Liu Feng struggled to get up and climbed back into the cockpit. "Still not enough, too slow!"
Watching the Red Beast mecha start up again, Gu Ya felt increasingly uneasy.
He had indeed messed up Liu Feng.
"Is there any way I can help him?" Gu Ya asked himself.
"Master," the Hei Yang figurine appeared on Gu Ya's shoulder and said, "I can temporarily grant the other party some of your abilities."
"What? This is possible?" Gu Ya was somewhat surprised.
Hei Yang nodded its proportionally large mechanical head and said, "It's only temporary, lasting no more than an hour. This will consume a lot of your energy."
"Then what are we waiting for!" Gu Ya smiled incredulously. "Lend him the [Starry Blueprint], [Active Mind], and [Adrenaline Burst]. Remember to explain to him clearly that his brain isn't working very well."
"Received. Master, remember to recall me after an hour, or it will cause you trouble," Hei Yang said, transforming invisibly and disappearing.
Gu Ya suddenly felt something being taken from his body. His consciousness instantly became sluggish, and everything he looked at seemed to wobble slightly.
"This feeling isn't good... It's like someone who doesn't smoke suddenly takes a deep drag, and they choke and get dizzy."
"But, for my brother, it's worth it."
