Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 593 - 461 Spiritual Energy?_2

Bai E's powerful Spiritual Energy certainly couldn't have slowly increased through everyday training, and even those exceptionally talented executors at Arbitration Place didn't have such outrageous power.

There must have been some sudden enhancement that instantly elevated his Spiritual Energy to another level.

Bai E's gaze seemed vacant, as if recalling something, "Probably, it was after every major battle I took part in. At first, I wasn't sure what this sensation was, only recently did I understand that this is what Spiritual Energy is."

After every major battle?

The strong fighting spirits of warriors found a vessel to pour into, bestowing their remaining obsessions in the form of Spiritual Energy onto the same individual.

Could it be that such a miracle, said to occur only in a few individuals with a king's destiny, has happened in this artificial human?

Helen observed Bai E intently, struggling to discern his true thoughts from his not-so-lively eyes.

This fellow had always maintained the appearance of an honest and naive artificial human, yet the strength he exhibited and his precise judgment of situations made her feel deceived by his words now.

Real? Fake?

It was impossible to speculate.

But since he said so, for now, she could only choose to believe.

"But you haven't undergone any training in Spiritual Energy."

"When operating the Mecha, it seems like I can hear a strange voice instructing me on how to use it…"

"…"

'Mechanical spirit?!'

Dammit!

Science-believer Helen felt helpless about this concept.

For her, the Mechanical spirit was completely foreign.

Although the two old men from Mechanical Court were willing to cooperate with her research, they spewed out hardly any useful information amidst their gibberish talks.

Helen's understanding of the Mechanical spirit had always been rather one-sided.

But could this guy be deceiving me again?

With suspicion in her narrow, willow-like eyes, Helen asked, "Do you mean the Mechanical spirit is teaching you how to use Spiritual Energy?"

"It's less about teaching and more about actively taking in and then converting it into another form of 'energy' that I don't understand, affecting the Mecha's body."

'Mechanical force!'

A jolt went through her heart, and Helen started to believe a bit in Bai E's words.

Given Bai E's rank and position, he shouldn't have access to the true core abilities of Intelligent Mech.

If he felt a similar effect, it might be something that truly happened to him.

The Mechanical spirit actively drawing from his immense Spiritual Energy, converting it into a Mechanical force more suitable for the mechanism, enabling it to exceed the theoretical limits of its capabilities… It indeed seemed to be a suitable explanation.

But was this an answer, or an excuse?

Helen inherently held doubts about Bai E now.

But her skepticism was kept to herself. Even if Bai E really had something to hide, what else could she do now but "trust" him?

Helen nodded, documenting the newly acquired information, while also instructing, "Now that you possess Spiritual Energy, you definitely shouldn't let your talent go to waste. It's such a waste to passively use such powerful Spiritual Energy only with the help of the Mechanical spirit. The city will likely send someone to teach you some methods to use Spiritual Energy."

"Understood," Bai E nodded in agreement.

While registering the details, Helen quietly asked, "Do you have any plans or requests for the future?"

"I would like the chance to see our artificial human production line…" Bai E expressed his request quietly with his head slightly bowed, seemingly offhand.

Although the production pods for artificial humans were in the barracks, their ownership was tightly controlled by the Scientific Research Institute.

Other than when first born, wanting to take just one more look proved exceedingly difficult.

Even with the rank of admiral, commanding all artificial humans, stepping half a step into the Scientific Research Institute without their special permission was impossible.

Bai E wanted to go inside not out of any particular desire, simply to see if he could destroy one of the machines there.

When he was newly born, his thoughts were chaotic; he didn't get the chance to see whether that thing fell under the jurisdiction of a lucky hit, let alone know what treasures blowing it up might yield.

Helen's beautiful eyebrows gently arched, "You want to see those things?"

"Yes," Bai E said bluntly, "I want to see what the things that made us look like."

After a moment of contemplation, Helen nodded, "Alright, I'll give them a heads up later."

"Swish, swish, swish~" Helen, rapidly scribbling with a marker on the paper in front of her, lifted her head once more, "If there's nothing else, you can go back first. I still need to hand over the results to those waiting for me, and besides..."

Helen's eyes fixed on Bai E's, beguiling and captivating, "Lastly, do you have anything you want to proactively tell me?"

"I do," Bai E asserted firmly, "The warblade."

After combat, all mechas must be sent to the hangar for their mechanical servants to repair, an inevitable procedure.

Even mechas that have birthed a 'mecha spirit' still need external care and meticulous attention.

A severely damaged mecha could temporarily become overwhelmingly powerful with the mecha spirit's buff, but the spirit couldn't always output at its maximum power.

Logistic maintenance and resupply are forever indispensable in the wars of this era.

This is a regulation.

Therefore, the anomalies on the alloy warblade that ultimately killed the hive guardian would inevitably be spotted by those mechanical servants.

That blade... had been permanently enchanted.

With a smile playing on her lips, Helen lifted the tablet that was on the table in front of Bai E, "Are you referring to these two?"

The screen showed the moment when Bai E's final stroke set the limit.

The two warblades, closest to the drone, had their details clearly visible through restoration—a warblade that had seen endless slashing with not even the slightest scratch on its surface.

Helen, who had studied not only people but had also scrutinized this video repeatedly, naturally noticed every minute detail.

"Don't worry, both blades including your mecha are now in our hands," Helen playfully winked with her right eye, "I told you I'd cover for you. You can trust me completely."

Bai E fell silent for two seconds before he spoke softly, "What I mean is, the warblade that ultimately killed one of the hive guardians has been permanently modified by the mecha spirit. It's similar to the power used on the Dominator's bio-blades. Perhaps you can glean some inspiration from it to innovate the current armaments in the military."

Helen, feeling her flirtatious gaze was wasted, nodded with a touch of embarrassment, "I see..."

"If there's nothing else, I won't keep Helen from her duties," Bai E said.

Watching Bai E's meticulous retreat, Helen pressed a hand to her forehead with a troubled expression, her lips parted and sighed, "Why do I feel like he still doesn't trust me..."

...

The moment Bai E stepped out, he spotted a familiar figure waiting in a shadowed corner of the building.

The unkempt man who seemed to have a bone to pick with Weslin.

As Bai E appeared, the man quietly stepped out from the corner, extending a hand with a cheerful smile, "Admiral Bai E, a pleasure to meet you, I'm Caesar, from the Spiritual Power Managers Center."

'Spiritual Power Managers Center?'

The woman who took Kiro Lan and Morphie away came from that place.

Bai E extended his hand for a brief handshake, his expression one of pure puzzlement, "You were looking for me..."

"I've heard about you from the mouths of the two little ones. They've said they miss you and hope you can visit them when you have time."

Bai E furrowed his brows in confusion, asking, "Which two little ones?"

"Kiro Lan and Morphie."
