Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"No need!" the player lying on the surgery bed said, tilting his neck back. In reality, just getting a tiny cut on a finger requires a long hiss of pain, so why not go all out in the game and experience everything that was never experienced in reality?

"Fine!"

The brutal and bloody spectacle had the lurking observer in the corner, assigned to "watch," continuously twitching her eyelids.

She always felt that the little brother cultivated by the organization wasn't normal, but she hadn't expected that the people he met would be just as abnormal as he was.

Who else would watch the sawing off of their limbs, without any anesthesia, with such interest? Even making… making those dirty-sounding moans.

Both parties were enjoying themselves… which was quite unbelievable.

In Wen Jie's focused gaze, there was only the thrill of rapidly gaining experience.

[You are attempting to perfect the Knowledge – Neural Linking (Completion), current progress is 86%. Upon completion, you will receive: Knowledge – Neural Linking; Scientific Research Experience +1000 points; Technology Points *2.]

The technology for connecting machines with nerves owned by the organization was quite rudimentary, limited to just being usable, and certainly not comparable with the cutting-edge technologies possessed by the city's research institutes.

Zhou Wenjie, who gradually gained the organization's recognition and trust through his basic computer skills, noticed the limitations of the prosthetic limb implantation technology as soon as he encountered it.

The city's research institutes, of course, would not publish their cutting-edge achievements. If one wanted to develop personally, they needed to make breakthroughs in this area on their own.

And for any technology to break through, there was no doubt a need for a large number of cases to practice on.

The organization only wanted to make money from this, but Zhou Wenjie only cared about the cases he could use to boost his experience and proficiency.

Not only towards the brothers who had sent him into the city, but even towards complete strangers, Zhou Wenjie was willing to perform surgery for free.

It was like when he first joined the organization without any sense of consciousness that a black slave should have, working overtime with a crazy fervor.

"Next!"

"Next…"

"Next."

Watching Wen Jie buried in frenzied surgeries, the observer in the corner's stern expression gradually softened, and eventually, she moved closer on her own, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

The makeshift operating room lacked advanced equipment, and large-scale surgeries like these required a tremendous amount of physical strength, which Zhou Wenjie was depleting rapidly.

But fortunately, the results were very satisfying.

[You have completed a prosthetic limb installation and successfully connected it, Neural Linking experience +0. Current Knowledge – Neural Linking (Level 2) experience has reached full capacity, awaiting a breakthrough to further raise your capability limit.]

[You are trying to perfect the Knowledge – Neural Linking, current progress is 100%.]

[You have completely perfected the Knowledge – Neural Linking (Completion), rewards: Knowledge – Neural Linking (Full); Scientific Research Experience +1000 points; Technology Points *2 have been awarded.]

[You have acquired "Knowledge – Neural Linking (Full)," unlocking the knowledge cap, current knowledge level cap is level 5.]

"Whew~"

Zhou Wenjie let out a long breath and didn't bother to check what was behind him as he plopped down to sit.

As a "doctor" specializing in "surgical operations," how could his physical fitness be poor?

But the long spells of continuous high-intensity surgeries had drained every ounce of strength from his body.

[Through long-term maintenance at the limit, your physical fitness has seen substantial improvement, physical fitness +0.1.]

Feeling invigorated again...

However, his body, which still followed the trend and fell, was caught by another soft and warm embrace. The usually icy and venomous tone softened for the first time, "If you're tired, take a rest, no one is pushing you."

Wen Jie directly took out a tube of pale blue liquid from his embrace and gulped it down.

After wiping the liquid from the corner of his mouth, Zhou Wenjie smiled brightly, "Rest? I don't have time to rest!"

Bio-mainbrain? Sounds familiar.

One of the requirements in my own mecha transformation plan 2.0 seems to be this technology.

I've been considering where to acquire this technology, and didn't expect it to be delivered into my hands by the players.

I'm well acquainted with those players connected to me, and it's been several days since I've assigned them missions. This means that there is only one possible source for this feedback—

"Wen Jie!"

Awesome!

Just as Bai E was secretly delighted, he heard a call from not too far away, "Captain Bai, Hou wants you to come over."

"Oh~ Got it."

The hangar is spacious, with a very high dome.

When usually piloting within the hangar, its vastness goes unnoticed. Now, by walking through it, one realizes how minuscule the human form is in comparison to the entire hangar.

This was the third day after the "brainwashing" surgery.

The military district doesn't keep idlers. As a mech servant plucked for thorough use, I must diligently shine in my position and safely get through the probation period before completely earning the trust of those higher-ups in the military district.

Of course, perhaps due to their knowledge of these insider secrets, even after being "demoted" to a lowly mech servant within the armored battalion, the attitude of the other mech servants, as well as the head of all the mech servants—that is, the hangar manager who was tricked by Bai E—remained utterly respectful towards him.

Seeing Bai E's approaching figure from a distance, Hou, mentioned by the other mech servants, greeted Bai E cheerfully: "Captain Bai, there are many tasks for a mech servant. Those mech servants who go to the battlefield and those like us who stay back here are two different concepts. The mech servants heading to battle need to learn some emergency measures required on the battlefield and the rapid loading of ammunition. As for us in the rear, we need to learn the maintenance and care technical skills for overseeing the mecha as a whole, which is a different direction. I wonder which type do you prefer?"

"Either is fine..." Bai E did not limit his own development.

If one cannot fight on the front lines, learning some logistical skills is always worthwhile.

"Then start with following me," Hou said with a smile, his demeanor humble and gentle, a true standout among old mech servants.

With Bai E aboard the vertical elevator, accompanied by the sound of the motor operating, Hou began to explain, "This mecha, it's like the more commonly seen tanks and combat vehicles. To maximize its combat abilities, it absolutely requires solid logistical support. A mecha is not a person; it doesn't speak when it hurts. Identifying all possible hidden faults in the mecha to ensure it doesn't fail at a critical moment is our sole responsibility."

"Click~"

With a light click of mechanical engagement, the elevator stopped at the back of the mecha. In front of Bai E, Hou opened a heavy plate on the mecha's back, revealing a dense array of various signal lights, "Our mechas have various self-diagnostic systems. Captain Bai, you should be aware since you came from being a mech pilot. But the self-check indicators you saw from within the cockpit only relate to the loss or damage of broad functional modules. These self-check lights here can show more details of the mecha's condition. Of course, it's the hidden corners that harbor potential but not yet occurred faults that are our biggest enemies."

"I've heard that in the past, there were skilled masters who could merely start up a mecha and listen to its sounds, feel its vibrations, and locate those most hidden faults. But I can't do that, nor can anyone here. We must learn to use tools. Maintaining a mecha not only requires meticulous attention to detail but also efficiency. This is even more important for mech servants who will be going to the battlefield. From now on, I'll demonstrate it to you."
