From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 234 - 191 Space Anchor Point_2
027's voice came in from the balcony, "Is the task complete?"
Lu Heng took out the Sealing Card that had sealed the Soul Capturing Monster, held it up, and said, "The invitation was unsuccessful. Do you want me to return the Sealing Card and the invitation?"
027: "Did the invitation target die?"
Lu Heng nodded, "He's dead."
027: "Did you kill him?"
Lu Heng nodded again, "I killed him."
027: "Why?"
Lu Heng: "He didn't meet my standards."
027: "I didn't ask you to evaluate him."
Lu Heng: "When you invited me, did you proceed entirely by instructions?"
027: "No."
Lu Heng: "In that case, don't worry about the way I invite."
027: "Alright. I hope the next invitation target won't also die by your hand."
Lu Heng: "That will depend on whether he can meet my standards or not."
027: "What are your standards?"
Lu Heng: "There are no fixed standards, if I think it's okay, then it's okay."
027: "Being so uncontrollable, it's easy to cause dissatisfaction among those ranked before you."
Lu Heng: "There's nothing to be dissatisfied about. If the invitation target is dead, it proves he's not as good as me."
In the Abyss Era, strength was everything.
Originally, Hasegawa Tom was indeed a target for invitation by the creator, because he had potential in his Class and controlled politicians in Fusang, making him a very good target for invitation.
However, Hasegawa Tom was now dead.
His worth alive was not as high as Lu Heng's, dead he was even less valuable.
An organization would not be dissatisfied with its members over a worthless corpse.
Even if there was a little dissatisfaction, it would not affect the outcome.
Lu Heng was not joining the mysterious organization of the creator for the first time, so he was very familiar with its loose structure.
027 came over just to confirm if Hasegawa Tom was dead, and after getting a definite answer, he left.
...
The next day.
While at the Flame Emblem Club, Lu Heng was cornered by a young girl.
Yuan Yaoyao braced her hands on the wall, blocking his way, then tilted her head up, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "You mustn't tell my dad about my affair."
Lu Heng frowned and said, "That doesn't seem quite appropriate, does it?"
"Why isn't it appropriate? I can look after myself, and he can't help anyway. Telling him will only make him worry," Yuan Yaoyao reasoned.
Lu Heng looked at her limbs and didn't see any mechanical modules, unsure of the extent of her transformation.
"You're worried that your dad won't agree to your mechanical transformation, aren't you?"
"You know that, and that's good," Yuan Yaoyao admitted frankly.
"Do you plan to continue transforming?" Lu Heng considered and decided it was better to ask clearly.
"Of course, I really like my current state. Black Feather Spirit feels like part of my body; I love it so much. And, I want to become stronger. Professor Ze Wei'er has also promised to research stronger mechanical modules for me in the future," Yuan Yaoyao nodded in admission.
"Are you sure you don't need to discuss it with your dad?" Lu Heng inquired.
"You don't understand. I've calculated with my Light Computer; my Talent is suited for the mechanical enhancement route. Besides, I've simulated the previous Abyss Battlefield experiences with my Light Computer. If I hadn't taken the mechanical enhancement route, I would have died long ago. Do you think it's better for me to follow the mechanical route or to be dead?" Yuan Yaoyao asked a very pragmatic question.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment because the answer to that question did indeed support her choice of the mechanical enhancement route.
Others didn't know, but Lu Heng had the memories of his past life and thus knew that if he hadn't changed her destiny, she would most likely have died on the Abyss Battlefield already.
Moreover, with a Talent like [Mechanical Heart], following the mechanical enhancement route was indeed the strongest.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, as long as you're willing to take responsibility for your choices, I won't interfere with your decisions."
Yuan Yaoyao immediately nodded, "Of course, I'll take responsibility for my choices. We have an agreement, you promised me, don't tell my dad."
After seriously considering it, Lu Heng nodded.
In fact, Lu Heng did recognize that Yuan Hecheng couldn't help her much.
A Quenching Master didn't do much for mechanical enhancement, and sometimes the more you care, the less able you are to think calmly.
Yuan Yaoyao, feeling pleased, said, "We have an agreement, you promised. To repay you, I've got some good news, Professor Ze Wei'er has already made the anti-gravity module for Anka, I can go over and bring it back for you."
Lu Heng was somewhat surprised and asked, "You can teleport to the Sikes Civilization?"
Yuan Yaoyao nodded, "Yeah, a reward from a World Task. After the Light Computer system calculated, it recommended I choose the Space Anchor Point, which was far more important than the other two options."
For her, selecting the Space Anchor Point in the Sikes World indeed had a very high priority, even comparable to the reward for a Skill Slot.
Since her path was that of mechanical enhancement, the Space Anchor Point in the Cyber World was essential.
Lu Heng curiously asked, "So, you have the ability to communicate with the Xavier Matrix?"
Yuan Yaoyao nodded again, "Yes, the Black Feather Spirit has quantum entanglement communication technology, which allows for communication. Moreover, I've spoken to the professor, and he has a way to bring you guys over through the Space Anchor Point."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows, even more astonished, "You're saying, you can use a Space Anchor Point to bring people who don't have one?"
Yuan Yaoyao confirmed, "Right, this is a technique developed by the professor, it can use the Black Feather Spirit to take you guys over."
Lu Heng hadn't expected this kind of surprise, "Alright, let's find a time, I'd like to meet with the Xavier Matrix in person."
...
The next day.
Lu Heng gathered his team members, and after confirming through the Black Feather Spirit that they could teleport, asked Yuan Yaoyao to activate the Space Anchor Point.
The Black Feather Spirit then teleported the trio to the Second Gaia Star of the Sikes Civilization.
As their vision returned, they found themselves inside a teleportation device.
They had arrived at an underground research lab specializing in space technology, located beneath the Begonia Courtyard, with its red maple leaves.
If Lu Heng's expectations were correct, a data prompt appeared.
[Teleportation into the Second Gaia Star within the Capital Star Circle of the Sikes Civilization, located in this world will continuously consume Divine Energy. Divine Energy Consumption: 10 points/day.]
10 points of energy per day, this consumption rate was the same as the regular usage of the Space Anchor Point for teleportation.
The Xavier Matrix's teleportation technology was essentially an expansion of a single-user Space Anchor Point to group usage.
Lin Zeyu was very surprised, "We actually made it."
"Welcome, friends from the Human World," the Xavier Matrix greeted with a wave of his hand.
"Hello, we can only stay for twenty-four hours, so let's not stand on ceremony and get down to business straight away," Lu Heng got straight to the point.
This direct approach was very much in line with the thinking of machinery.
As such, the Xavier Matrix readily agreed, "Of course, I have already been informed by the Black Feather Spirit that the first thing you want to do is to collect the anti-gravity module.
"Just a few days ago, I took the time to make a high-powered anti-gravity module, which is very suitable for use with Mechanical Beasts. Take it back and give it a try."
Since the Mechanical Tiger was too large, Lu Heng was worried about problems with the transportation if he let the Black Feather Spirit bring it along, so he hadn't brought it over.
After all, there was no combat mission this time around, and it was enough just to bring back the anti-gravity module.
The Xavier Matrix led everyone out of the space teleportation lab and into another room, pointing to a cubic mechanical module on the table, "This is it, customized for your Mechanical Beast, enough to let it float."
Lu Heng's eyes lit up immediately, asking, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean it could fly?"
The Xavier Matrix nodded, "Yes, it just needs to be equipped with a flying engine module."
Lu Heng laughed and asked, "You have one ready, don't you?"

The Xavier Matrix nodded, "Yes, the same model used by the Mechanical Angels, I'll give it to you as well."
"Thank you," Lu Heng promptly expressed his gratitude.
With that, the Mechanical Tiger might just be able to fly.
A Mechanical Tiger as heavy as a car that could also fly—it was a dreamy thought.
