Chapter 187

It was simply too incredible.

On the other side.

After returning from the battlefield, Lin Qi rested for a while.

Until the data was sorted out and the things at hand were all done, he called Firefly over.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Lin Qi asked.

Firefly tilted her head and thought, "Replenish vitality?"

"Yes and no." Lin Qi replied, "Or rather, not entirely."

Then.

Under Firefly's puzzled gaze, Lin Qi explained.

"Your strength is indeed not low, but when facing an Emanator, you still lack means, so I am prepared to modify you and your SAM mecha."

"Of course, you can also choose not to agree."

"I won't make things difficult for you; don't worry, and I won't give you a hard time; make your own choice."

Hearing Lin Qi's words, Firefly was stunned for a moment.

Obviously.

This was something she hadn't expected.

But soon, she made a decision.

"Doctor, what should I do?"

"Agreed?" Lin Qi laughed, "Then give me your transformation device first, and take off your clothes."

"..."

Firefly's face turned red all of a sudden.

However, she didn't become a "steam girl," just slightly red.

It's hard to say whether she was used to it or for some other reason.

Anyway, when she was executing Lin Qi's order, she only hesitated slightly, and then very simply, she took off all her clothes.

For a time.

Besides her headpiece, the only thing she had on her was the transformation device held in her right hand.

And then.

She also handed over the transformation device.

"Doctor, here."

Lin Qi was slightly stunned, took the transformation device, and felt a bit awkward.

Although his words did indeed have a bit of ambiguity.

But he didn't explicitly say to take it all off, right?

One can only say...

Firefly was indeed gradually becoming undefended in front of Lin Qi.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi couldn't correct it.

A girl had already done so; if he said it wasn't like that, then would the girl still have any face left?

So it's best to pretend not to know.

Or rather, default to it.

Moreover.

Even if she didn't take it all off now, when it came time to replenish vitality or do experiments later, she would have to take it all off anyway.

Lin Qi didn't let his mind wander for too long.

Instead, he took the transformation device and examined it, and then let Firefly unfold the SAM armor.

But this time, he didn't let her pilot inside.

And then Lin Qi modified it one place at a time.

The micro-retrieval telescope is naturally essential.

If this thing is used well, it can increase combat power by a large margin.

Then there are the Magnifying Light and Shrinking Light.

But because there is an upper limit to the mecha's energy output, even after modification, it cannot compare to a spaceship, so the modified SAM mecha cannot reach the level of storing stars.

However, even so, it is enough to enlarge Firefly's sword to ten thousand times its original size!

Which is...

A ten-thousand-meter-long ship-cutting sword!

Although the power cannot be amplified ten thousand times, compared to before, it is definitely a huge improvement!

This point alone makes Firefly's combat power closer to an Emanator.

The key is that this is just the SAM mecha.

Firefly's body hasn't been modified yet.

Then.

Lin Qi followed the same pattern and injected divinity factors into Firefly's body, letting her also possess an absolute defense force field and be able to link with the SAM mecha.

At the same time, he also optimized her genes.

While delaying the outbreak of Entropy Loss Syndrome, it also enabled her to exert stronger strength.

It is no exaggeration to say.

The current Firefly, even without the mecha, is a powerful Pathstrider.

After a series of modifications, her strength underwent a qualitative change!

Perhaps it still can't compare to an Emanator.

But it is infinitely close.

"How does it feel?"

After the last modification was completed, Lin Qi signaled Firefly to get up from the experimental table and feel the changes in her body.

"Doctor, I feel... very good!"

Firefly clenched and relaxed her fists, feeling the power surging within her body.

One can say it this way.

The vitality within her body had never been as abundant as it is now.

Even using the Time Cloth to return to the past was not like this.

She even had an intuition.

That is, when she enters the state of burning vitality again, she can not only last longer but also consume less life.

So even from this angle alone, her strength has gained no small improvement.

Plus the changes in the SAM mecha?

Then it is even more immeasurable.

"There's no discomfort, right?" Lin Qi asked.

"No." Firefly shook her head.

There might have been at the beginning.

But every time after modification, Lin Qi would restore her with the Time Cloth, and then optimize the modification.

So even if there was discomfort, it disappeared in the repeated modifications.

At this time.

Lin Qi spoke again.

"Because it was modified at the moment your vitality was at its highest, every time you replenish vitality, you have to accept a modification again; of course, if you modify it again, the speed will be much faster. Unless there is some new technology, it might slow down."

"I'm fine, Doctor; you can just follow your own ideas."

Firefly replied, indicating that she didn't care.

In fact.

Whether it was the process of backtracking vitality or the process of modifying the body, she had long had no secrets in front of Lin Qi.

Since that's the case.
