"Ten Thousand Steps, what happened to you?" Zheng Yifan pointed at his legs. They were once perfectly functional, and now he was about to rob himself of his fine wine.
But now, his appearance was simply dreadful. His clothes were ragged, his head was shaved clean, and his face was covered in dust. He looked much older than before.
Yet Ten Thousand Steps didn't seem to care at all. He smiled broadly and pointed at his legs. "For the sake of a successful experiment, what do these things matter? Have you seen my invention? Look around you; everything here is made by me, all by myself."
Ten Thousand Steps' voice was filled with joy, devoid of any regret.
"But... your legs," Zheng Yifan insisted, still pointing at them. They were still robotic.
"Hahaha! My legs were crushed when I was installing the robotic arms; there's no way to reconnect them. But thankfully, they broke; otherwise, this flying machine wouldn't exist," Ten Thousand Steps said, gesturing toward the many blue lights on the aircraft.
"You know, those lights are my legs. They are infused with my genes and my Nervous System. Humans use their Nervous System to relay information, and this aircraft can send information directly back to me through my Nervous System." Ten Thousand Steps pressed a button on the control panel.
It looked as if a socket had been revealed.
He walked over and plugged his legs into it.
In an instant, those blue lights seemed to activate, transforming into something alive. The entire ship shook as a series of information displayed on the monitor.
This was the status of the ship, and it entered a controllable state.
"Are you crazy? You turned yourself into a monster just to create this hunk of metal!" Zheng Yifan shouted angrily.
Suddenly, Ten Thousand Steps laughed. "Do you know? This is my ideal. Anything is worth sacrificing for an ideal. Moreover, I only sacrificed my legs. What you're seeing is just my genes activating the machine. It has little to do with my body. Besides, I'm still a man; I can still battle with women for 00 rounds." Ten Thousand Steps leered at his own situation in a ridiculous manner.
"That doesn't mean you should have sacrificed your own legs! And how well do those mechanical legs work? A Superpowered Individual is different from an ordinary person; you can actually recover," Zheng Yifan reminded him involuntarily.
The recovery ability of a Superpowered Individual was unquestionable; it just varied in speed. Ten Thousand Steps had already become a Fifth-Level Esper and could still recover. However, his Superpower wasn't particularly suited for recovery, which was why he hadn't fully healed yet.
"Boss, I've tried and calculated; it will take two and a half years to recover. During this time, I'll still need to use prosthetics," Ten Thousand Steps said while pointing at his legs. The power of a Superpowered Individual was undeniable.
"That's more like it. Hurry up and show me your treasure, let me see what you've got," Zheng Yifan said, feeling a bit less constrained.
Ten Thousand Steps was relieved that the effort he put in wasn't too much.
Otherwise, the entire Gathering Place would owe him. For the future weapons of the Gathering Place, this Fellow was truly daring.
"Boss, if we succeed, will there be any rewards? Like... wine?" Ten Thousand Steps still longed for fine wine.
"Dream on. There won't be any good wine, but there will definitely be spoils. However, looking at you, I thought of something more suitable for you," Zheng Yifan suddenly grinned mischievously.
He watched as Wan Bu Xin across from him looked startled. When did this Fellow become so kind-hearted? There had to be something wrong.
"Ten Thousand Steps, look at you. You don't even have a girl to take care of you here. I'll send you ten beauties!" Zheng Yifan suddenly burst into laughter.
Just a moment ago, this Fellow had claimed he was fine on his own. So why not send him a few more? With Ten Thousand Steps' position as the lab supervisor, it would be easy for him to support these women. Although Hope Gathering Place didn't have such women, there were plenty outside who couldn't even afford a meal and hoped someone would protect them.
"Boss! You can't do this! It would drain me dry!" Ten Thousand Steps suddenly looked mournful.
He knew himself well enough to boast about his capabilities. One or two beauties were manageable, but ten? That would truly wear him out. Moreover, what wouldn't women do to compete for attention? Didn't most women in palace dramas end up with terrible fates?
Even though he only had ten, he was certain he lacked the ability to manage his own backyard.
"I've already decided; there's no turning back. When you get married, I'll send you a few boxes of them," Zheng Yifan laughed heartily.
"Chief, this is yours then; let's start the experiment," Ten Thousand Steps said without hesitation as a series of data for the aircraft appeared on the display.
On the combat control panel next to the operating station, various equipment also appeared as Zheng Yifan walked over for Ten Thousand Steps to introduce them.
The entire control panel required someone to step inside and wear a set of auxiliary armor before they could operate it. It was quite simple with minimal controls; most relied on brain activity.
He wasn't a professional scientist, so the control panel in front of him was mostly designed based on game settings.
Upon opening the Firearms Combat Module, a series of options appeared. By selecting one, the spaceship would automatically activate weapons in the corresponding position, allowing control over the equipment in front like a shooting game.
Firing was as simple as pulling the trigger, making it convenient. More importantly, after just a few minutes of training, anyone could operate it, even without prior experience.
Zheng Yifan stepped up and tried it out a few times. It was exhilarating.
His favorite was the Melee Cleansing Weapon.
This was a handle on the control panel that, when picked up, allowed him to control what looked like a long sword outside. It could be swung in a 180-degree arc, primarily designed to clear nearby enemies and obstacles.
After all, they were dealing with Zombies; who knew what special breeds might appear?
The main reason Zheng Yifan liked this weapon was that it could actually be enhanced with Superpower. By channeling his Superpower into it, he could see the long sword outside enveloped in the Power of Faith.
Its lethality increased nearly tenfold.
Zheng Yifan also experimented with other firearms, and the power amplification from the Firearm Esper was quite evident.
Most notably, the missile launchers and close-in defense guns were terrifying. In just one minute, they could fire over twenty thousand rounds of close-in defense ammunition. Even more fearsome were these bullets, which were specially made by Hope Group as Super Energy Bullets. (To be continued...)
