Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The call alert on the screen was ringing. Wang Teng hesitated. He felt that the other party was a little strange. The mystery and dignity behind a heaven-stage martial warrior disappeared in an instant, and he was rather... flippant!
Was he being delusional?
Or was the other party putting up a pretense?
Wang Teng hesitated, but he still decided to click “Accept.”
A head immediately appeared on the screen. It was almost touching the screen like the other party was trying to see Wang Teng’s face clearly.
But he was disappointed as Wang Teng’s face was blocked by light. He couldn’t see his face at all.
Wang Teng was surprised by the appearance of the other party. The heaven-stage martial warrior was a robot!
It had a mechanical head and blue electronic eyes. It didn’t look like a human at all. Wang Teng could even see his mechanical body when it stepped back.
“Mecha race!” Round Ball said in surprise, “He’s from the mecha race!”
“Mecha race! Is there such a race? Aren’t robots created by humans?” Wang Teng was curious.
“No, they’re not the same. Mechas aren’t robots. The mecha race is a very strange lifeform. They do not have real bodies and are somewhat similar to intelligent lifeforms like me. However, they were born like this, whereas I evolved into what I am today,” Round Ball explained seriously.
“Then what about their mechanical bodies?” Wang Teng asked.
“Mecha lifeforms are born from machinery. They can attach themselves to mechanical bodies. They are very powerful and are closely connected with the bodies. Their relationship is like the relationship between human souls and human bodies.”
“The universe is so huge and full of surprises. It’s amazing!” Wang Teng exclaimed.
“You will slowly be exposed to these things in the future.” Round Ball smiled. “Generally, members of the mecha race are rare, and they wouldn’t have any activities in a human city. It’s surprising for a mecha to appear now.”
“Is there a problem if I trade with him?” Wang Teng asked.
“Nope. The mecha race is recognized, and there are many strong members. The spacecraft that they build are extremely sought after by powerful people in the universe.”
Wang Teng nodded.
At this time, a sound came from the screen.
“How insincere. You are not showing your face.” The robot pouted. The voice it made was no different from a human, without the slightest mechanical tone, which seemed a little out of place.
“I’m sorry. My identity is a bit sensitive and not suitable to be disclosed at the moment,” Wang Teng offered an explanation.
The mecha heaven-stage martial warrior’s blue electronic eyes turned. “It’s fine. As long as you can forge the things I want.”
When it came to business, he became serious and was no longer chirpy.
“What do you want? Show me.”
“This is it.” The mecha heaven-stage martial warrior took out a small black box.
“What is this?” Wang Teng frowned.
It was clearly not a conventional weapon, and the difficulty wouldn’t be low.
“This is the Thousand Armaments Vessel, which is created by members of the mecha race like me. It is probably at the fifth-rank grandmaster level. I need you to forge this for me,” the mecha heaven-stage martial warrior said.
“Okay.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Are you not going to confirm if you can forge this?” the mecha heaven-stage martial warrior asked in surprise.
“There’s no need to. As long as it is a grandmaster-level weapon, I can forge it,” Wang Teng replied calmly.
“Oh, such confidence!” The mecha heaven-stage martial warrior looked at Wang Teng with great interest.
“If I forge this, you have to promise me one thing.”
“No problem. These details can be written in the spiritual contract. Of course, your conditions must comply with the principle of equivalence. If you are asking me to die, I won’t do it.”
“Don’t worry. I know that.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Very well. I shall wait for you tomorrow at the Secondary Career Alliance to sign the spiritual contract,” the mecha heaven-stage martial warrior said.
After speaking, both of them went offline.
Wang Teng opened his eyes in the real world and heard Round Ball’s voice. “Wang Teng, you must be careful working with the mecha heaven-stage martial warrior. How do I put it? The mecha race is quite mysterious, especially things that are created by them. They are rarely circulated around the world. You might not know what secrets lie in that small black box. Be careful.”
“Oh, there are things like that?” Wang Teng frowned, “Looks like it’s quite troublesome!”
“Let’s see what the contents of the spiritual contract will be tomorrow. If it is written clearly in the spiritual contract, then there shouldn’t be too much of a problem,” Round Ball said.
“You mean there will be a clause that states that I should hide the secrets of the small black box in the spiritual contract?” Wang Teng asked.
“Yes.”
Wang Teng nodded, his eyes flickering. After pondering for a while, he didn’t say anything else and decided to wait until the next day to see what would happen.
He then took out the Lightning Slap. After forging the weapon, he had never taken a look at it. Back then, he felt that it was a bit different, but he didn’t focus on it.
Now that he had some time, he took it out to study it.
It was a treasure that he spent so much effort forging.
“Huh?” Just as he was taking it out, Round Ball, who was about to leave, let out a light snort.
It was a grandmaster blacksmith, and not just any ordinary grandmaster. With just one look, he could see something from it.
