The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1879

Chapter 1879 Blessed Attemp

The next morning, Ves and Gloriana woke up and followed their morning ritual with more solemnity than ever before. They dressed for work and met up at the dining room to enjoy breakfast.

Gloriana had already instructed Dr. Lupo and her chefs to prepare the most sumptuous breakfast they could manage.

As the two mech designers filled their bellies with appetizing meals, they began to talk about their upcoming design session.

"Just like last time, we'll have to fabricate the first production model by ourselves." Ves told her. "We should make sure our mech workshop is closed off so we'll be left undisturbed. Can you get your Glory Battalion to form a security cordon around the site? I've also asked Melkor to dispatch his Avatars to guard the outer perimeter."

"I doubt there are any threats on Kesseling VIII that can force their way past your Avatars."

"You can never be sure." Ves shook his head. "I don't want their mechs to get too close to the workshop. I'm very sensitive to the glows of the Blackbeaks, Crystal Lords and other LMC mechs. While I normally enjoy their presence, they'll only interfere in my attempts to visualize our design as we try to turn it into a reality."

To fabricate a good Bright Warrior, he had to immerse himself in it as much as possible. His other mechs were great products, but their glows and identities were different from his latest design!

Everything started to fall into place. Ves and Gloriana both paid plenty of attention to the smallest of details. Nothing was allowed to ruin their upcoming moment!

As they boarded a shuttle and traveled to the mech workshop they prepared, the pair cuddled together along with their cats.

Both Lucky and Clixie knew that the next days were crucial to their owners. Neither of them fussed as much and simply offered themselves up for petting and scratching.

"Meow."

"Miaow."

"I love you, Ves." Gloriana smiled as she leaned her head against his shoulder. "It's times like these that I enjoy the most. Sharing my passion with you and working together to design novel creations is one of my greatest joys. I don't want this to end."

He looked down in her eyes and took in her scent.

Due to the importance of their work, she applied lighter and less oppressive perfume this time. Ves still found her as intoxicating as ever. Her adoring eyes and her infectious smile made him all the more eager to please her desires.

Fabricating a masterwork mech was not just about furthering his goals. A part of him wanted to do his best so that he could make Gloriana into the happiest woman in the galaxy!

Both of them understood each other. They didn't have to share any words to express how much they cared for each other and how much they wanted their upcoming session to succeed.

A part of Ves was very pleased with this moment. Their affection and investment in the Bright Warrior meant that the stakes rose even further.

They both ascribed another meaning in the outcome of the fabrication run!

"We have to succeed."

If they failed, then not only would their chances of gaining Constance Wodin's approval decrease, but also make each other sad!

Ves did not want to disappoint his girlfriend! Making her happy was one of the greatest joys in his life, and he felt the urge to do his utmost to ensure that they would be celebrated as some of the youngest masterwork mech designers in the mech industry!

With the sheer amount of mech designers in the galaxy, there were obviously freaks who managed to fabricate a masterwork even earlier in their careers!

That didn't diminish the value of gaining a masterwork certificate. It was simply too rare for Journeymen to touch this magical boundary which seemed to have no logic behind its mechanisms.

Countless mech designers tried to invent a sureproof and replicable method to fabricate masterworks. None of their attempts succeeded.

Not even the brightest minds from the MTA and the galactic center managed to crack the code!

The mech industry only figured out a couple of rules, such as that higher-ranked mech designers had a higher chance of making one, or that their creation was always accompanied by chance and serendipity.

No matter how they came to be, it was undeniable that the mech designers responsible for creating them received a huge amount of accolades.

It was difficult to describe the admiration and respect that fellow mech designers directed towards the possessors of a masterwork certificate.

This simple acknowledgement was proof that the mech designer in question possessed an affinity for mechs! They understood mechs at a deeper level than most of their colleagues, and their works were always a little bit more superior in terms of quality than their peers.

To be honest, Ves didn't entirely understand why the MTA celebrated masterwork mechs so excessively. The sole reason why the mech industry valued masterwork mechs so much was not their exquisite construction, their indescribable presence or their unsurpassed degree of optimization.

For all of hype, the actual performance of a masterwork mech was barely better than a bog-standard copy of the same design!

Considering that fighting was the primary purpose of a mech, the perceived value of masterwork machines was incredibly overinflated!

Even though they were worth roughly the same, a single masterwork mech could never defeat a hundred regular mechs!

From this, Ves deduced that masterwork mechs possessed a quality that made them incredibly wanted by the MTA.

The fact that they rewarded 10,000 MTA merits for any third-class masterwork mech and a whopping 1 million MTA merit for a second-class masterwork was quite remarkable.

As far as Ves was concerned, the MTA always looked out for itself. The Association always made sure to gain the upper hand in any transaction. Incurring losses was against its nature!
