The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3618

Chapter 3618 Additional Inspiration

Ves retained so many design spirits these days that the addition of another one started to become routine.

Compared to the Titania who was still being indoctrinated by his other design spirits, the emergence of Kalo was not that notable.

Kalo was a completely new spiritual product that did not have an inkling of the history and memories of the Titania. It started off with nothing but the materials derived from its ingredients along with whatever knowledge Ves had imprinted on his new creation.

Right now, Kalo was extremely weak and fragile. It did not benefit from accelerated growth because Ves chose to save his limited reserves of universal life energy.

He was willing to accelerate the growth of important entities such as Vulcan, but Kalo simply wasn't as important.

As long as his collection of design spirits continued to grow in the future, there was no need to treat them all as equally as if they were his own children. It was fine to play favorites and give preferential treatment to his more important and useful design spirits.

Though this might not sound fair to his lesser design spirits, they didn't require his hand holding. There were many other spiritual entities that could take over the job and the oldest or strongest among them already assumed leadership roles by themselves.

For example, soon after the birth of Kalo, Ves noticed that Qilanxo had descended in order to give the ghostly chameleon an introduction in the spiritual community.

With the big lizard attending to the tiny lizard, Ves had no worries that Kalo would go astray. He could leave all matters concerning the upbringing and acclimatization of the deception-oriented design spirit to one of his most trusted natural spiritual entities.

"Take good care of him, Qilanxo. Kalo hasn't received any powerful supplements so he is extremely weak and immature. It will take a while for him to reach a respectable amount of strength. I will try to help as best as possible by finding a way to mass produce my Deceptor Project mechs, but that might take a while."

Qilanxo expressed reassurance at Ves. She possessed a particular interest in mentoring Kalo because Ves had designed him as a chameleon.

Although appearances didn't matter as much to spiritual entities, Qilanxo nevertheless felt compelled to take responsibility over Kalo for her perception of their shared kinship.

Seeing her treat the new ghostly chameleon so generously made Ves think about whether he would see this pattern more often in the future.

This was the first time he thought about the racial makeup of his design spirit collection. A significant proportion of them were humanoid because they were derived from real people or human objects of worship.

The rest were relatively random though Ves felt it was wrong that he only had two cat-like beings in his collection up to this point. The Golden Cat and Zeigra were both opposites in many ways, but they could definitely use more company in order to make sure that cats were well-represented in their spiritual community!

"I'll have to think about adding more cats to the collection!"

He briefly thought about adding a bit of variety by adding a dog as well, but he quickly discarded the notion.

He was a cat person!

Why would he ever contemplate getting a dog when a cat could fulfill all of his needs?

Sure, cats were whimsical, selfish and didn't always follow orders, but that was part of their charm!

Besides, cats were much cuter than dogs!

"Cats it is, then. I'll think of a good opportunity to add not just one, but a whole set of them at a later date." _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Perhaps he should have turned Kalo into a cat as well, but he felt that shaping him as a chameleon was an intuitively better choice. It fit with his powers and his themes.

With Kalo's creation, the Deceptor Project finally obtained a proper if somewhat weak design spirit.

While Ves didn't think the glow of the Deceptor Project would be that powerful or drastic at first, that was okay. By allowing the ghostly chameleon to grow organically at its own pace, it would be able to develop its powers in a direction that complemented the new Flagrant Vandal mech model better.

Of course, this might not work out that well if an enemy confronted the expeditionary fleet in the near-term. The Deceptor Project would not be able to contribute as much on the battlefield in that case!

"I really hope nothing happens."

Now that the Deceptor Project obtained its new design spirit, there were no further obstacles that prevented Ves from completing it. He worked extra hard to rush its testing and optimization rounds.

Once Ves was done with putting the finishing touches on his solo mech design, he finally stood back to admire his work as a whole.

"It's done."

Though he could still think of many ways to refine and optimize his mech even further, he wasn't as high strung as his wife.

It would take months to improve the mech's performance by two percent or so. That might be worth it for some people, but the diminishing returns were way too much for Ves. The Deceptor Project had reached a fine state at this point.

"Let's turn you into a real mech!"

In truth, the Deceptor Project had already been realized in the form of a prototype, but Ves deliberately kept its distance from it and ordered his assistants to fabricate it instead.

The prototype was purely a tool in his mind. It only served to refine the final product, nothing more.
