The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2873

Chapter 2873: Dazzling Output

As Ves let his imagination run wild with possibilities, his perspective on Lucky started to shift.

He never thought too deeply about Lucky's origins before. He lacked the information to make any certain judgements and Lucky didn't know anything either.

Should he continue to treat Lucky as his cute little mechanical pet? Or should he regard the gem cat as a suspicious object with a complicated relationship with some very powerful figures?

Though Ves became a bit entangled by this dilemma, he soon let out a deep breath.

"There is no need for me to consider so much."

If Lucky was truly related to his mother, then everything was probably fine.

Ves already spent years with Lucky. His pet wasn't just a mechanical creation to him, but a close companion.

"He's family."

The times they went through, the relationship they forged as well as what he was able to sense from Lucky's spirituality were all signs that Ves could trust his feline friend.

As for whether a high-and-mighty Star Designer or some other eminent figures were behind the gem cat project, Ves did not have the power to do anything.

He might as well forget about this problem and continue about his day. There was a good chance that whoever created Lucky was not malicious towards him. Lucky's creator might even be an ally!

"Meoooow... meoooowww..."

Meanwhile, Lucky's mewling cries had dropped a bit. While the gem cat was still in distress, his agony became a bit more bearable for the moment.

"Are you close to finishing?"

"Meow!...."

"Hey, I'm just asking!"

"Meeeeooowww.... meeeeeeooooowwww..."

Since it appeared that Lucky's episode was more of a marathon than a sprint, Ves sat down and began to imagine something even bolder.

Would he be able to create something comparable to Lucky?

This was not the first time he considered this question.

Ves knew quite well that Lucky provided him with invaluable help. Throughout many moments of his career, he would have never been able to survive certain dangerous moments if not for Lucky's combat and infiltration abilities.

Ever since he started a relationship with Gloriana, he already started planning for the long-term. Now that he had married her, it was only a matter of time before they would have kids.

Ves wanted what was best for his children. With the wealth and resources he had at hand, he could invest a lot into designing some great designer babies.

Yet that was not enough for his liking. If he could pair each of his offspring with pets comparable to Lucky, then he would have a lot more confidence that they would be able to survive difficult situations!

While it was impossible for Ves to create anything comparable to Lucky, he might be able to create another kind of pet with unlimited growth potential!

Considering his specialties and proficiencies, the most obvious solution was to create new spirits that could accompany his children throughout their lifetimes.

These guardian spirits could exist entirely in a spiritual form. His design spirits as well as entities like Sharpie proved that they did not need to possess a physical form in order to provide a lot of help.

Purely spiritual companions were easy to make. They were also very hard to detect and would always be able to accompany his children without making anyone suspect that his brats were never alone!

Ketis already proved that hiding such a trump card could prove useful during critical moments!

Yet the shortcomings of spiritual companions were also clear. They needed to exert themselves a lot more to interact with the material realm. This process always tired them out quickly, so they could not provide sustained help.

"A physical companion is better in most cases."

Ves had a lot of options to choose from. He could design a mechanical pet and infuse it with life, but he could also task a beast designer to develop one according to his specifications.

If he happened to encounter an existing exobeast that had already broken through the extraordinary threshold by itself, Ves might be able to negotiate with it and turn it into a contract beast for one of his children.

He did not favor this solution, though. Biological pets had a finite lifespan. While Ves might be able to extend their lives in some way, he figured it was better to start with a mechanical pet right away.

Mechanical constructs were familiar territory to him. As long as there wasn't anything biological to them, he could refine their designs to a fantastic degree and maintain control over every single aspect.

"Gloriana can also help. In fact, she'll probably insist on taking part in this project!"

The only worry that plagued Ves was that he did not know whether he and his wife were skilled enough to develop a satisfactory pet.

It wasn't necessary for these derivative pets to create gems. That was beyond him. He just wanted to pair his kids with strong and friendly companions.

While he was very confident in his ability to make his products sentient and aliv, it was a lot harder to design something that could grow stronger over time.

This was one of Lucky's defining traits. Not even his gem producing capabilities were comparable to how he was able to assimilate many different materials and technology.

How could Ves ever create something comparable?

His thought inadvertently strayed to his Devil Tiger design.

"ASMAS might be a viable alternative."

Vese did not have access to the higher-level principles and technology that enabled Lucky to evolve in such a sophisticated fashion. The way he seamlessly integrated so many different devices and materials made it seem as if a hidden Master Mech Designer came up with all of the upgrades!

His Devil Tiger did not even come close to matching this degree of sophistication. ASMAS was not capable of integrating new functions by themselves, so Ves would have to manually program this functionality in his work.

Not only that, but ASMAS-based creations were more fragile and prone to hacking than regular mechanical creations. Still, these problems weren't insurmountable, or else he wouldn't have conceived of the Devil Tiger design in the first place.

"Meeeeeooww! Meeeeeooow! MEEEOOOOW!"

Lucky's abdominal pains began to spike again! His distress rose and his body exhibited some worrisome convulsions.

Ves had a feeling that Lucky's episode was finally about to reach its peak.

This was especially when he began to perceive strange activity from Lucky.

A small vortex appeared. The remarkable part about it was that this vortex wasn't physical in nature. Instead, to Ves' considerable astonishment, the spinning vortex instead drew in unknown spiritual energy from an unknown source!
