Chapter 12: Making a Mecha
On the way back to the dormitory, Huanling was thinking about Ye Yingluo. He originally planned to go with the flow. After the promotion competition was over, if Donghai College established Class Zero, Huanling would join Class Zero, and then get in touch with Wu Changkong and ask Wu Changkong to help him.
For example, Huan Ling bought several tickets to the Intermediate Soul Ascension Platform and asked Wu Changkong to take him to the Intermediate Soul Ascension Platform to improve his soul age.
But now Ye Yingluo also has the strength of a Soul King. Although his martial soul is only the Swan, a beast martial soul that ranks at the bottom among the high-level martial souls, Huanling is not completely ignorant. Baili Hong had previously equipped him with a laptop computer that contained knowledge about all martial souls, soul spirits, and soul skills.
This also includes the appearance and characteristics of people who have awakened their martial souls, which will be affected by their martial souls.
Normally, people who awaken the Swan Martial Spirit have either black hair or blond hair, but Ye Yingluo's hair color is light green.
This can only mean one thing, that Ye Yingluo still has the blood of the Emerald Swan in her body, and the Swan Martial Soul has the possibility of mutating into an Emerald Swan.
Otherwise, the awakening of the martial spirit of one of Ye Yingluo's parents would cause her hair color to be light blue, and Ye Yingluo would inherit the swan martial spirit of the other parent.
Thinking of this, Huan Ling shook his head helplessly. It would be better to let Wu Changkong be the head teacher of Class Zero. After all, Ye Yingluo's strength is far inferior to Wu Changkong's, and it is unlikely that she can lead him to evolve his soul into a ten thousand year soul on the intermediate soul upgrading platform.
The reason why Huan Ling didn't ask Baili Hong for help was because he didn't want to trouble him. In addition, Baili Hong's strength might not be much stronger than Ye Yingluo's, and Huan Ling was not qualified to ask Baili Yixuan to find someone to help him evolve his soul.
Huanling's mecha designer teacher Baiyun is not good at fighting, so Huanling can only place his hopes on Wu Changkong.
The reason why Huan Ling was keen on evolving souls instead of fusing them with a ten-thousand-year soul was because he felt that his Ice Silkworm Martial Soul was unusual, so he wanted to increase the age of the Ice Silkworm Soul and evolve it into a ten-thousand-year soul to verify the secret of his Ice Silkworm Martial Soul.
But Huan Ling forgot one thing, that is, the light green hair color may also be affected by toxins in the body for a long time, such as the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo 20,000 years ago.
After returning to the dormitory, Huan Ling saw Xie Xie and Tang Wulin in her dormitory and asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Tang Wulin said excitedly: "Of course I came to you. Don't you have the ability to make mechas? They pay the money, and we do the work. They will build a mecha for each of us."
Immediately, the other four people also gathered around. Huan Ling thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but my ability is limited. Although I can design a purple-level mecha, I can only make a yellow-level mecha."
"And you must first take a mecha driver's license test before I can make a mecha for you."
Mechas have always been a man's dream. When they heard Huan Ling's agreement, they were ecstatic and asked hurriedly how much it would cost to buy the rare metals.
"Let's make a simpler mecha, the most common yellow-level mecha, but it must be made of metal that has been forged a hundred times. Any metal will do. Just choose the cheaper one."
Huan Ling thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't Tang Wulin like to forge Shenyin? That thing is also cheap, 300 federal coins per kilogram. At least three tons of Shenyin must be forged to make a yellow-level mecha. The Shenyin used to make a yellow-level mecha is equivalent to 900,000 federal coins."
"Six mechas will cost a total of 5.4 million federal coins. Each of the four of you will contribute 1.35 million federal coins. I will add 410 federal coins to the share for my mechas, making a total of 5 million federal coins. I will exchange them for five tons of Tianxing Iron. Tang Wulin, you will be responsible for forging it a thousand times, and you will be responsible for forging it a hundred times. How do you think?"
If you buy fifteen tons of sunken silver and five tons of star iron at one time, it won't cost that much money, a total of nine and a half million federal coins. If you buy it from an acquaintance and get a discount, it will only cost about eight million federal coins.
Huan Ling also specifically reminded: "I can set up a few more transformation functions for your mecha, which can turn the mecha into a soul-guided car, but the mecha is just a decoration. It is impossible to release soul-guided cannons or install soul-guided guns or something. Can you accept this?" If you really make a yellow-level mecha, even if it is a standard mecha, as long as it is equipped with an attack soul-guided device, it will be worth nearly 10 million federal coins, of which forging, design and production are the bulk, and materials are the cheapest.
The five of them agreed in unison, and Xie Xie even requested that his mecha just need to look good, and its combat effectiveness was not important at all.
Huan Ling nodded and said, "Okay, then I will go find someone to buy the rare metals. You just give me the money when the time comes. I won't ask for more from you. One million, three hundred and fifty thousand federal coins per person."
"Whatever the eldest brother says is what it is."
In front of his dream, Xie Xie also put aside his pride and called Huan Ling "big brother" just like Wei Xiaofeng.
It is his dream to become a mecha master. How wonderful it would be to have a mecha of his own?
Let alone calling him big brother, even if he called him dad, Xie Xie's hesitation would be disrespectful to the mecha.
"Okay, I'll come back and draw the blueprints for you guys later. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Huan Ling walked out of the dormitory. It just so happened that he also lacked the means to fight, and some soul guides were simply not practical. The main reason was that his own strength was too weak, and his soul power was not enough for him to use soul guides all the time.
The only difference is that mechas can use energy-storage soul guides, similar to batteries, without consuming the phantom's own soul power.
If a purple-level mecha is made, then Phantom Spirit can directly fight against Soul King.
A level five secondary occupation was required to make a purple-grade mecha. Huan Ling could now design a satisfactory purple-grade mecha. As for things like carving soul guide formations, he could practice slowly.
Although he said he would make the worst yellow-level mecha for the five people, Huan Ling didn't mind carving some fourth-level or fifth-level soul guide formations for them to use for practice.
With the soul skill of spiritual detection, Huan Ling's talent in carving soul guide formations, that is, his talent as a mecha maker, is not inferior to his talent as a mecha designer.
Now that there is Tang Wulin, a player who provides forging for free, Huanling is even happier. You know, forging is the most expensive thing. Tang Wulin delivers it himself, which saves Huanling a lot of money.
However, Tang Wulin also took this opportunity to contact forging. Huanling's Sky Star Iron can be forged last, and he can be given the Thousand Forgings when Tang Wulin's success rate is higher.
Since all five of them were only nine years old, Huan Ling would not make offensive soul guides for them, only abilities such as defense, transformation, and movement.
This time when we go to buy rare metals, of course we have to find Baili Hong, the real backer of Huanling, and ask him for help.
