“There may be discomfort the first time you perform a mental power connection, though it won’t be too strong. If you feel very uncomfortable, you must immediately tell me, understand? ” Cheng Yi solemnly explained to An Yan. After a pause, he added, “I will always be by your side. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
An Yan was a little nervous at Cheng Yi’s words and clenched his fist while nodding seriously. “Yes, I understand.”
“Are you ready?” Cheng Yi’s hand was already on the button to turn on the spiritual connection.
An Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes, “Ready!”
Cheng Yi was amused by An Yan’s death-like expression and pressed the button.
An Yan was tense all over with nervousness, so Cheng Yi placed a hand on his back, gently stroking it a few times. He whispered in a soft tone, “Don’t be nervous, it’ll be fine.”
An Yan’s body slowly relaxed under the soothing influence.
Although Cheng Yi had made it sound so serious, the process of connecting his spiritual power was not painful.
“Don’t be nervous and relax your spiritual power. This is the mecha testing your spiritual power. ” An Yan’s nervousness was dispelled when Cheng Yi’s voice sounded at the right time.
A Mecha warrior is a highly sought after and respected interstellar profession, but it is also a difficult and demanding one.
To become a mecha warrior, one needs to have not only a strong physique but also a firm will, a stable mentality, and strong spiritual power.
However, the so-called “strong spiritual power” is also determined by the specific circumstances.
For example, an ordinary B-class mecha can be driven normally with B-class spiritual power.
However, an S-rank mecha requires the user to have S-rank or higher spiritiaul power. Otherwise, even if you have such a valuable mecha, you will not be able to drive it smoothly.
Since Cheng Yi is the only human who has reached SS-grade spiritual power, the mecha he uses, whether for daily training or for formal combat, are all custom-made by the Cheng family. So far, he is the only one who can pilot them properly.
Therefore, Cheng Yi’s purpose in bringing An Yan into his mecha is to bring them closer together and, at the same time, let An Yan know more about his life.
As for helping An Yan strap in position and connect his spiritual power, it was just to let him know more about mecha driving and experience the novelty, while also eating more tofu.
In a word, Cheng Yi never considered letting An Yan pilot the mecha. It was not because he did not want to, but there was almost no chance that An Yan could successfully complete the spiritual connection or even further control the mecha after his first contact with it.
Even when Cheng Yi first came into contact with the mecha, he was able to successfully complete the connection only after familiarising himself with it twice.
An Yan had no idea about any of this; he just found it interesting.
After switching on the connection, it was like a little cutie came into An Yan’s mind. This little cutie was very lively and enthusiastic, and would dance with his spiritual power and jump around in his mind.
With little difficulty, his spiritual power became more and more active as it mingled with this little cutie.
So An Yan let his spirit play without worry. He actually felt quite comfortable.
While An Yan was in a happy mood and enjoying this feeling, Cheng Yi, beside him, slowly looked serious.
Normally, there is confusion and ignorance about what to do the first time a person performs a spiritual connection, making it impossible to perform the connection.
Even for those who have done their homework before trying would struggle to achieve the best connection the first time. Even a 50% connection is very good.
But now, after activating the connection, the connection level started to rise steadily. It was at 0 for a short while before quickly crossing the 50% mark.
What is even more surprising to Cheng Yi is that the connection rate is still climbing steadily and level has no sign of stopping
This is a very inconcievable situation for a person who is new to mecha and spiritual power connection.
50%……55%……60%……
As the numbers continued to rise, Cheng Yi’s gaze became deeper. He had indeed unearthed a great treasure, and the preciousness of this great treasure had far exceeded his imagination.Â
Soon, the number on the connection device reached 86%, which was the last fixed number when Cheng Yi first came into contact with mecha.
As if sensing the special meaning of this number, the connection rate paused for a moment, but soon, the number continued to climb up again, and the speed became even faster than before!
Cheng Yi’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze no longer looking at the number on the connection but down at An Yan, who looked very happy.
What secrets was his little friend hiding?
In a matter of moments, the number on the connector rose to 95%, followed by 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% ……
The next moment, a cold electronic voice suddenly rang out: “Spiritual power connection has been overloaded! Spiritual connection failed and has been disconnected.”
An Yan frowned and slowly opened his eyes. His spiritual power was happily playing with a little cutie, but why did the little cutie suddenly disappear?
He slowly lifted his head in confusion and met Cheng Yi’s deep eyes. He was immediately confused: “What’s wrong? Did something go wrong just now?”
Cheng Yi nodded, his voice sounding slightly tense. “Your spiritual power is too strong, so the connection failed.”
An Yan knew very little about mecha, so he just sighed, “It failed.” So maybe I can’t meet the requirements to pilot a mech. “
Cheng Yi’s expression tensed up. He slowly crouched down and looked at An Yan levelly, saying in a complicated tone, “Yan Yan, you may not understand the current situation. The connection failed because your spiritual strength is too strong, something that has never happened before.”
No matter what level of mecha, the strength of the connection is set to the maximum to achieve upward compatibility.
In other words, a mecha warrior with a higher level of spiritual power can directly pilot and control a lower level mecha, but the opposite is not possible.
Connection failure due to high spiritual strength means that An Yan’s mental strength has exceeded the upper limit set for this mecha.
In other words, An Yan’s spiritual power is clearly greater than SS level.
Before this, Cheng Yi had the highest spiritual power in the universe, but now, An Yan had become the one with the highest level of spiritual power in the world.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath and asked, “Yan Yan, do you know that your spiritual power level has exceeded the SS level?”
An Yan, who finally realised that things were completely different from what he had imagined, was immediately confused: “……” He didn’t know! He really didn’t know anything about it!
When Cheng Yi saw this expression, he asked, “Then… does Yan Yan have anything to say to me?”
“Well…” An Yan averted his eyes. It’s not that he didn’t want to say it; he really didn’t dare to say it!
 Cheng Yi could not help but sigh and raise his hand to lightly ruffle An Yan’s hair: “Yan Yan, don’t worry, I will definitely protect you.”
An Yan felt guilty. He was hiding so many things, yet Cheng Yi still promised to protect him. He bit his lip and looked at Cheng Yi timidly, saying in a small voice, “I’m sorry, senior. Are you angry with me? “
“No,” Cheng Yi smiled and shook his head, “I won’t be angry with Yan Yan, and I understand. Everyone has their own secrets, even I. “
“Are you really not angry?” An Yan was still a bit apprehensive.
Cheng Yi nodded affirmatively, “Of course.”
An Yan was relieved, and after a moment’s thought, he mustered up the courage to say, “Although there are many things I can’t tell you, believe me, I really do consider you a good friend!”
Cheng Yi was stunned. He wanted to be more than An Yan’s good friend.
But he shouldn’t scare off the little guy. He took a deep breath and said softly, “Okay, let me help you take off the restraints first.”
“Okay, thank you, senior.” An Yan nodded obediently.
Once all the straps were removed from the body, the two quickly left the mecha.
Cheng Yi put the mecha back into the space button and turned to An Yan, “Let me show you around.”
An Yan was now feeling guilty, so she naturally did not refuse Cheng Yi’s proposal: “Okay.”
Although An Yan was not in a good mood when they first started shopping, he was a simple person and was easy to coax. Cheng Yi took him to a few interesting shops, and An Yan was in a good mood again.
After his mood improved, An Yan soon had an idea: “Senior, do you know where they sell home robots around here? I want to buy one. “
Many families choose to buy home robots because they can help with home chores, take care of children, and provide other functions that make life easier.
Previously, it was clear that the An family could not afford to buy and maintain a robot.
But it is a different story now. There is a long list of zeros in An Yan’s account, so it’s easy to buy ten robots, let alone one.
So An Yan decided to purchase a home robot to care for his mother while he was at school.
Cheng Yi immediately understood and nodded, “I know a good robot shop nearby. Let me take you there. “
“Thank you, senior!” An Yan thanked him in a light-hearted tone. He felt proud that he could now earn money to support and take care of An Mu.
Accompanied by Cheng Yi, An Yan browsed around the robot shop and soon picked out a fully-functional, cost-effective home robot.
Although he had indeed made a lot of money, An Yan still felt a little bit of pain when he paid for the home robot. It cost him more than 100,000 coins.
