The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3302

Chapter 3302: Different Life

With the progression of his design philosophy, Ves could easily make a living product if he wanted to.

In fact, the instinct of bestowing life to his creations was so ingrained these days that he consciously had to mess up his own work if he wanted to produce a lifeless object!

While he was glad of his improvement, he sometimes felt lonely. As the pioneer of this new field in mech design, Ves had to rely on himself to invent all of the theories and methods that allowed him to make better living products.

This inevitably led to a lack of diversity and perspective. Because every living product or mech design came from him, the forms they took inevitably conformed to a single monotonous pattern, his pattern.

It was like baking an old-fashioned cake with only one type of mold. If Ves only became exposed to a circular mold in his career, all of the cakes he baked would come in the same shape without any meaningful variety!

This was why Ves was so pleased with encountering Ketis' work. She had clearly inherited some of the concepts of living products from him, but she did not possess a domain that was oriented towards life.

Nonetheless, she managed to develop her own means to create a living product that fit her own talents!

The outcome was similar but the approach was different. The mold she used to bake her unique cakes was different. Hers was rectangular, which resulted in cakes that looked substantially different.

Yet as long as someone tasted a slice of their cakes, that person would find that the ones baked by Ves and Ketis had a lot in common!

Ves was intrigued by the similarities and differences between their works. The Decapitator was almost entirely designed by Ketis and represented her unique strengths the best.

At this distance, he could clearly sense that the Decapitator was alive in some way, but it was different from what he was accustomed to. While it did possess a spiritual foundation like his own work, it was configured in a radically different form than he was accustomed to. There was much less life and a lot more… purpose, for a lack of a better word.

It was like the difference between an animal cell and a plant cell. Both types of organic cells possessed different traits that ultimately produced different lifeforms.

An ordinary animal cell was flexible and morphable, allowing for the emergence of creatures that could move with ease.

An ordinary plant cell was lined with cellulose, which caused it to become more solid and rigid. This produced plants that were stiff and unmoving.

Yet no matter whether Ves was looking at an animal or a plant, both of them were alive. They just worked in different ways.

Did this mean that Ves, who was accustomed to designing mechs like animals, suddenly thought it was a good idea to design mechs like plants?

Not necessarily. He knew what he was good at and what he wasn't good at. Creating an exceptional sword character on products like the Decapitator was something that only Ketis and possibly her inheritors could master.

At best, Ves could attempt to imitate her approach, but without her domain along with her passion and obsession for swordsmanship, his copies would probably be only a tenth as effective as hers, and that was just a generous estimate.

Ves possessed his own strengths and it was much better if he continued to develop his own approach on living mechs. His products shouldn't be any weaker from that of Ketis. They just possessed different strengths. It was up to the customer to decide which one met their needs and solved their problems better.

That said, it was still helpful for him to broaden his perspective by exploring different takes on living products.

The new Remote Energy Channeling method that Ves had added to his toolbox was directly inspired by Ketis, after all! This was actually a rare case where he was able to apply the same method as hers without needing to make any substantial changes.

Ves even wondered if he could 'obtain' even more solutions once he passed on his teachings to more students. Though Maikel and Zanthar were a bit too far away from becoming Journeymen themselves, he had high hopes for their future!

"What do you actually mean when you say your swords are singing to you?" He asked with obvious interest in his tone. "I've tried to hear this supposed song many times but I haven't even heard a peep from the Decapitator."

Ketis smirked. "That's because you perceive them in a different way from mine. You're not a swordsman or even a warrior, so you don't understand how people like myself treat their weapons. A good weapon is more than a tool. It's a partner who you entrust your life with. When you spend so much time mastering and getting to know your weapon, you will find that it will sing to you at one point. At least, that's the way that I experience it. My weapons sing to my soul instead of my ears."

Ves looked confused. If he wasn't wearing his Unending Regalia, he would have scratched his head by now!

"It sounds like we perceive life in different ways. I mostly perceive it by feel, though in practice I imagine the life that I am working with on a visual level. To me, living products are a wonderful tapestry of art that is constantly evolving."

While Ves continued to talk shop with Ketis, he completely forgot about his wife.

Ketis frowned. "What are you saying?" _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
