The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1885

Chapter 1885 Bridge Mech

The transformation eventually ended, but the day wasn't over to Ves and Gloriana.

Both of them were immensely pleased at the first production model's successful elevation to masterwork standard. Even though they hadn't been able to reach this standard through their personal design ability, the gains they made were huge and manifold, especially for Gloriana!

All of her earlier resentment and contempt had disappeared. She was so ecstatic that it was as if she had died and gone to heaven!

Her earlier scowls and frowns were nowhere to be seen now. She was all smiles as she continuously basked in the insights she made from observing the physical transformation.

She also became more radiant due to her increased affinity for mechs. This was a very vague property that raised her intuition towards mech design, increased her instinctive understanding of mechs and boosted her chances of making another masterwork mech!

If Ves was in her place, he would celebrate as much as her as well!

As it was, Ves was the one who paid the bill for all of these benefits. Though he gained a lot as well, he still felt that Gloriana took advantage of him somehow.

He shrugged. It was not as if he took advantage of his girlfriend plenty of times.

"Ves!" She finally deigned to direct her attention to him again. "This mech is so wonderful! It changed so much that I can study it for months! It's all thanks to you that I've made a huge harvest today! Thank you!"

She glomped him and showed her appreciation towards him in an intimate fashion!

Their snogging only lasted for a short time before Gloriana pulled back. "Come on! We still have much to observe and learn!"

Though both of them were tired, they didn't want to go to sleep. Gloriana especially insisted on studying the newly-elevated masterwork mech while her mind was still fresh and inspired from the remarkable transformation she witnessed!

Ves played along as he was curious to see how the gems exactly worked now that the Accumulation of Spirit seemingly bonded them together.

They scanned the mech and fiddled around a bit by mounting a couple of configurations to the mech.

After turning the mech online, Ves discovered that only one gem was in effect at a time.

This meant that the Illuminating Warrior wouldn't be able to take advantage of the Nova Warrior's improved power reactor enhancement.

If all or at least some of the gems were in effect at the same time, then Ves would have no more complaints about expending five greater gems on a single mech.

As it was, the Bright Warrior mech hadn't actually grown more powerful than an equivalent masterwork mech boosted by just a single gem!

"Well, I can't have everything, I guess." He shook his head.

He still remained somewhat suspicious of the Accumulation of Spirit mounted in the cockpit of the base platform. He was absolutely certain that its effect was a lot more than being able to store a little bit of spirituality!

Sadly, Ves didn't think he could decipher their secrets anytime soon. They were simply too inscrutable for him. Neither Gloriana's scanners nor his own spiritual senses could decipher anything unusual behind their shiny facades.

"Don't ask me how they work. I have no idea how they enhance an attribute of a mech or how they elevate its overall quality." He told her. "Just consider them as consumable add-ons. I can integrate them onto any single mech to improve their performance or push them over the edge of masterwork."

That wasn't an acceptable answer to Gloriana! As she slowly came off the high of becoming a masterwork mech designer, she rushed up to him like a demon and grasped his arms!

"TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR GEMS! I NEED THEM! I NEED THEM! I NEED THEM!"

Ves gently but firmly shook her off and pushed her away. "Calm down! I can't answer this question, and I prefer to keep hold of what gems I have left. They're very rare and difficult to obtain. Don't worry though, I can obtain them periodically, so the gems I have left in my pouch aren't the only ones we can use to our advantage."

"Come on, Ves! Don't you love me? Aren't we together in this? Why can't you tell me anything more?" She pleaded to him while showing off her puppy eyes.

Though Gloriana appeared exceptionally adorable right now, Ves had enough of her for one day. With his thoughts lingering on the price he paid for this accomplishment, he wasn't in the mood to indulge her anymore!

"Just drop it. I love you, Gloriana, but just like you I've withhold some information from you. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that what I know is far too dangerous to be spread around."

"—But—"

"—I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE!" He shouted back, his temper flaring due to her persistence! "If you know me as well as I suspect you do, then you must have figured out that my life is a bit unusual. This is partially because I'm caught up in events that are incredibly dangerous and involve parties that are inconceivably powerful! If I draw the attention of one of them, my life will definitely be over!"

She looked shocked at him. "I.. I didn't know it was that bad.."

"Please respect my privacy, at least for this." He sighed and calmed down. "Those gems are related to matters that are so significant that even the Big Two will pay attention to me once I become exposed!"

Though she looked unwilling, his girlfriend understood that Ves really didn't want to share the secret behind his reality-warping gems.

It was difficult for her to resist her urges. The shiny gems that Ves whipped out attracted her beyond all reason! Their incredible uses and immense potential aligned so much with her design philosophy that she thought it was unfair that Ves managed to obtain them. Where did he even get these sparkling treasures?!

Now that Ves and Lucky was done with their work, their cats approached their owners and begged for their affection.

"Miaow."

While Ves bent down to ruffle Clixie's silky soft fur, Lucky brushed his side against Gloriana's legs while curling his tail in a playful manner.

"Meow!"

"Hm? Do you want a hug or something, Lucky!"
