Chapter 617

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

A mechanical mouse drilled out from underground, scurrying around, but very soon, a large hand descended upon its head, grabbing it up.

"This is a mechanical mouse, possessing very powerful detection devices," the Mechanical Dog King said respectfully at Ye Nan's feet, while in front of it, the Terminator's large hand was grabbing the mechanical mouse.

"This kind of energy is truly powerful. I feel my virtual personality is about to evolve," another Terminator walked up, savagely tearing open the mechanical mouse's body, taking out the Spark inside, and constantly toying with it.

"Every time I come into contact with this energy, I can feel my virtual personality's calculation speed getting faster. Many conflicting expressions that I couldn't simulate before, I can now simulate."

The so-called conflicting expression refers to that kind of expression of crying while laughing. Because the two expressions are mutually opposed, it causes the virtual personality to have data conflicts when calculating this expression, and it cannot simulate a specific expression. This point is a defect of the virtual personality system itself, which simply cannot be compensated for through a database.

But now, it actually feels the system repairing itself, as if the virtual personality system has become intelligent; it repairs its own defects, making itself become perfect.

"Because you are about to have your own consciousness," Ye Nan said with a smile, while also feeling a bit nervous.

No matter how much the Terminator behaved like a human before, its essence remained a robot. The powerful virtual personality system can simulate a real person's expressions, and the anthropomorphic skin allows them to look the same as ordinary people on the outside. The fusion of flesh and blood and liquid metal allows it to simulate temperature, producing a tactile sensation that only flesh and blood have.

If it weren't for the fact that the virtual personality system has certain defects and its own setting is of the cold type, even if he were thrown into a crowd, others would still think he is the same kind of person as them, and perhaps he could even get married and have children—uh, having children wouldn't work; the Terminator's system is not yet powerful enough to produce little Terminators.

However, a Terminator that possesses a virtual personality is indeed a powerful system that, once the shackles are released, behaves just like an ordinary person.

And now, under the stimulation of the Spark energy, the Terminator, which is further perfecting its virtual personality system, does not know to what step it will eventually evolve.

And the reason why the Terminator will not betray Ye Nan is because the Terminator only knows how to obey the system's commands. Once it is allowed to possess self-consciousness, no one knows whether it will betray him.

However, right now all of this is still within his control. He is just using the Terminator to test; the poor Terminator does not know at all that it has become a tool for Ye Nan to test the Spark energy transformation, and it is still there enjoying the benefits brought by the Spark.

"Now the mechanical mouse tribe has been completely wiped out by us. It's time to go find other mechanical beasts," Ye Nan said.

"In that direction... Roar."

Before the Mechanical Dog King's words had even finished, it roared toward the front. One could see a tiger made entirely of silver-white metal walking over from a distance, stepping with an elegant gait, and still holding a steel rose in its mouth.

"Hand over your Spark," the Mechanical Tiger said as such, but the moment it opened its mouth, the rose in its mouth fell out, emitting a *bang* sound.

"Oh, my rose."

The Mechanical Tiger lowered its head, picking up the rose that had fallen to the ground and holding it in its mouth again. However, this action of its caused all the majesty it had accumulated to vanish.

"Silver-White Tiger," the Mechanical Dog looked at the Mechanical Tiger weakly, somewhat hesitant. "Master, it is the Silver-White Tiger, a very terrifying kind of mechanical beast. Although it acts alone, ordinary tribes have to show submission when they see it."

"Hand over your Spark," the Silver-White Tiger roared in a low voice. But the moment it opened its mouth, the rose fell down again, and it had no choice but to pick up the rose again.

Originally, the Silver-White Tiger had intended to go and give the rose to the Golden Tiger it liked most to propose love, but as a result, it felt the Spark's energy on the way, which is why it changed direction and rushed over.

Generally speaking, the Spark's energy will not be radiated outward, because mechanical beasts will instinctively swallow the Spark into their bellies, using their own bodies to block the Spark's energy. If it weren't for that kind of mechanical beast that is born with a very keen perception of the Spark, it would not discover the Spark, even if the mechanical beast were right before its eyes.

In the past, it had not been to the mechanical mouse's territory, but when it came, the mechanical beasts were all full of respect. It never thought that there would be a Spark in the mechanical mouse's territory. After all, tribes without a Spark have never been lacking on this land.

But now it understood; the mechanical mouse had a Spark, and its previous respect for it was purely fake.

Thinking of the mechanical mouse's previous fake submission to it, it felt waves of nausea.

"These strange people must have a special way to find the Spark; otherwise, they wouldn't have found the Spark on the cunning mechanical mouse."

Thinking this in its heart, the Mechanical Tiger spoke up, "You submit under my feet, become my servants, and find the Spark for me. I will give you rewards."

After finishing, regardless of whether Ye Nan and the others agreed or not, it walked toward the Terminator on its own.

"Is this Mechanical Tiger crazy?" Ye Nan asked the Mechanical Dog beside him.

Woo! Woo!

The Mechanical Dog whimpered and couldn't speak. Ye Nan could say whether the Mechanical Tiger was crazy, but it didn't dare. It knew the Mechanical Tiger's terrifying strength; that was the power to wipe out its tribe single-handedly.

"What?" The Mechanical Tiger was furious after hearing Ye Nan's words. It, the Mechanical Tiger, has possessed consciousness for a full two years. Two years of time have made it a hegemon here. It can be said that those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish. Except for a Golden Tiger, who else dared to defy its orders?

And it has been born for two years, a full two years old. It can be said that its IQ is developed and its EQ is extremely high. As a peerless genius, in just two short years, it has possessed an IQ equivalent to a seven-year-old ordinary mechanical beast and an EQ of a sixteen-year-old ordinary mechanical beast. It is absolutely a heaven-sent talent.

Roar!

At this moment, the Mechanical Tiger didn't even care about the Spark anymore. It must make this person who said it was crazy recognize his mistake, and the method is fists.

Roar! Roar!

The Mechanical Tiger roared twice more, the steel rose fell from its mouth, and it didn't bother to care.

Ye Nan had no intention of fighting the Mechanical Tiger at all. He just smiled faintly: "Terminator, I'll leave it to you." After finishing, he said to the Mechanical Tiger with a serious face: "You fight the Terminator first; if you win against the Terminator, then come and fight me."

"Oh," the Mechanical Tiger responded, turning to face the Terminator, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

"Sure enough, it's a typical case of having muscles but no brain," Ye Nan said as such after seeing the Mechanical Tiger's actions.

Roar! Roar!

The Mechanical Tiger roared in a low voice, provoking the Terminator. However, it didn't strike first either, just roared at the Terminator, as if it cherished its feathers and was unwilling to strike first.

"Terminator, strike. Don't kill it," Ye Nan stood with his hands behind his back. Regarding the Terminator, he had extreme confidence. Let alone a tiny Mechanical Tiger, even if an Autobot or a Decepticon Transformer came, it might not be able to defeat the Terminator, unless someone of Megatron's level came.

"Yes." The Terminator took a step forward, standing face-to-face with the Mechanical Tiger. Its left hand retracted to the back, revealing a pitch-black cannon muzzle, and blue energy was gathering.

"Charged Particle Cannon, activate."

A blue light was emitted from the cannon muzzle on the Terminator's left hand, crossing the distance between the Terminator and the Mechanical Tiger at an extremely fast speed, rushing directly toward the Mechanical Tiger.

"What is this?" The Mechanical Tiger looked at the blue light rushing toward it in astonishment. Before its brain could figure out what this thing was, it was hit by the Charged Particle Cannon, and the whole beast was blasted away.

Poor Mechanical Tiger had always been in close-quarters combat with other people's mechanical beasts; where had it ever seen a particle cannon? The long-range attacks it had encountered were Mechanical Dogs throwing steel metal to attack, but how could that kind of attack compare to a Charged Particle Cannon? With one strike, it had already been severely wounded.

One could only see a Mechanical Tiger hugging a blue light, flying and flying, flying and flying, flying out of people's field of vision, and disappearing without a trace.

"What a terrifying attack." The Mechanical Dog looked at the Mechanical Tiger that had flown away, dumbfounded. Even now, it still felt as if it were in a dream. The previously arrogant Mechanical Tiger had actually flown away under one strike from the Terminator. This was unimaginable in the past.

"Attack may be ineffective," the Terminator concluded directly after the attack.

"Why?" Ye Nan asked in confusion. He had seen the Charged Particle Cannon directly hit the Mechanical Tiger just now; he did not believe his super vision would have hallucinations.

"Because of the hardness," the cold mechanical voice answered Ye Nan's question. "These mechanical lives are composed of pure steel, and the hardness is very strong. The power of the particle cannon is unlikely to cause any damage to the Mechanical Tiger."

"Hardness?" Ye Nan murmured this word and immediately understood.

Generally speaking, robots only have a layer of steel skin on the outside, and the parts inside are very fragile. Therefore, when encountering shockwaves and other attacks based on absolute power, they become relatively fragile. Even if the surface withstands the attack, the internal parts may be damaged.

However, the Mechanical Tiger is different. It is composed of pure steel, with an iron plate inside. Its power comes from the life bestowed upon it by the Spark, so it cannot be calculated as an ordinary robot regarding the damage it receives.

Thinking of this, Ye Nan hurriedly looked into the distance. Under his super vision, the Mechanical Tiger's state was revealed completely.

At this time, the Mechanical Tiger was quite disheveled. Its body was covered with a layer of fine iron filings and many steel residues. However, looking more closely, Ye Nan discovered that the Mechanical Tiger had not suffered much damage on its body; its internal body was still intact, and only the surface was a bit disheveled.
