Stronger with Crimson Modifier

A voice echoed in the depths of his mind, carrying an indescribable mechanical quality.

The voice was ice-cold, like the grinding of some cold metal, making his eardrums throb faintly.

However, the voice came and went in a flash.

After it spoke, silence descended once more, as if none of it had ever happened.

Zhao Yao's body regained its mobility.

He looked down at the palm of his hand.

The triangular piece of metal he had been holding was now gone without a trace.

His palm was as smooth as before, without a single wound or even the slightest mark.

'Could it be… I'm hallucinating?'

He furrowed his brow.

Thinking this,

he wiggled his fingers but felt no resistance.

Then, he shook his head, trying to clear it.

'If something really entered my body, it's impossible for there to be no wound at all.'

'Rather than believe something so absurd, I'd rather think I'm just hallucinating from being too tired lately.'

After all, due to certain issues with human rejection and technical factors, it wasn't uncommon to experience occasional hallucinations after interfacing with AI neural games.

It wasn't a big deal as long as he got more rest.

However, just as he reached his bedside, a searing pain suddenly exploded in his mind.

The pain came without warning, as if someone were violently churning a sharp knife inside his brain.

His body swayed violently, and he nearly fell. Fortunately, he managed to grab the wall just in time to steady himself.

Before he could recover, the voice he suspected was an auditory hallucination sounded again.

"Neural module connection successful... Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you, my tenth host."

The first sentence was still that cold, mechanical voice, like some kind of system startup prompt.

However, when it said "Hello," the voice suddenly changed.

It became a pleasant female voice, tinged with a hint of lazy arrogance.

Zhao Yao's expression froze instantly.

He subconsciously shook his head, trying to drive the voice out of his mind.

But the voice was terrifyingly clear, as if it were whispering right in his ear.

"I can't believe my Spirit is in such bad shape..."

he muttered to himself, his tone a mixture of resignation and self-mockery.

"Not only did I get a lecture from my sister, but now I'm hearing things.

I guess young people really shouldn't stay up late so often, or their bodies will start to break down."

With a blank expression,

he dragged his exhausted body to the bed, ready to get some rest.

But the moment he lay down and closed his eyes, the pleasant female voice spoke again.

"Abnormality detected in the new host's Spirit. Initiating Spirit therapy."

Before the voice had even finished, a powerful electric current shot through Zhao Yao's entire body.

His body convulsed violently. His closed eyes flew open, and his limbs twitched uncontrollably a couple of times.

The tingling, painful sensation made him suck in a sharp breath. He curled up on the bed, unable to move.

'So... it really wasn't a hallucination...'

The thought had just surfaced in Zhao Yao's mind when the electric current vanished, before he could even beg for mercy.

"If you want to communicate with me, just think. You don't need to speak aloud,"

the female voice said nonchalantly.

Zhao Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He asked silently in his mind, 'You… what in the world are you?'

The female voice snorted, a hint of pride in her tone.

"I am the Mecha Spirit of the Forbidden Mecha—Sun's Radiance. You may call me Xi Guang."

'Forbidden Mecha? What is that?!'

Zhao Yao was completely bewildered, unable to comprehend this unfamiliar term.

According to the knowledge he had gained in school,

Mechas were divided into six Levels, from lowest to highest: F, D, C, B, A, and S.

F-Level Mecha:

As the most basic type of Mecha, they are typically used for civilian or simple industrial tasks.

Their combat effectiveness is extremely limited, and they are mainly used for non-combat tasks such as hauling and construction.

They generally possess no combat capabilities and are primarily used for support work.

D-Level Mecha:

D-Level Mechas are slightly stronger than F-Levels and possess some combat capability. They are usually deployed for peacekeeping or low-intensity combat missions.

They are equipped with weapons systems, though their firepower is limited.

Their offensive power is only comparable to a tank's.

They can handle small-scale conflicts but are ineffective against large-scale battles or heavily-defended targets.

C-Level Mecha:

Mechas of this tier are considered Middle Class, with strong firepower and defensive capabilities.

They are typically used for medium-intensity combat missions.

They can handle most conventional battles.

The weapons they carry can easily destroy a small town.

B-Level Mecha:

These are high-level combat Mechas with powerful firepower and defense.

They can easily handle most combat scenarios.

They are equivalent to the aircraft carriers or strategic bombers of the old era.

Their power is sufficient to destroy a city.

A-Level Mecha:

These can be considered top-tier combat Mechas.

Possessing extremely powerful firepower and defense, they are typically used for strategic-level combat missions.

They can cause massive destruction in a short amount of time and have the Ability to change the course of a battle.

Their speed exceeds Mach several times over, and they are capable of devastating a region for hundreds of miles.

S-Level Mecha: Legendary Mechas possessing world-destroying power.

Their existence is usually considered a strategic deterrent, and they rarely appear on the battlefield.

The destructive power of such a being is staggering.

They are capable of sinking continental plates and destroying entire ecosystems.
