The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4171

If the first upgrade track was already outrageous enough, the second one was even more astonishing!

Just the last part was more than enough to drive every person in the mech community crazy if they knew this option was available!

Ves forcibly tried to calm himself down. He already began to understand the division between the upgrade tracks.

The first one was undoubtedly centered around increasing his agency and facilitating his own growth.

To be more precise, it allowed him to affect the course of human history more extensively by allowing him to more frequently travel back in the past without worrying about anything happening to him in the present time.

It also allowed him to accrue a much more comprehensive understanding and mastery of many different mech types. This would undoubtedly help him design mechs that exquisitely accommodated the needs of many mech pilots!

The second track followed a completely different tack. It did not improve his design capabilities directly, but enabled him to gather the strongest or the most promising mech pilots and improve their fighting capabilities in many different ways!

If Ves was able to gather stronger and more formidable mech pilots around him, he would not only feel a lot safer against external threats, but also gain opportunities to design stronger mechs that fully kept up with their improved performance!

"This is the perfect choice if I want to build the best mech army!"

He would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. Wasn't he worrying about trying to gather 1 billion MTA merits recently because he feared that his second daughter Andraste might not develop the right genetic aptitude to pilot a mech?

Even if she did luck out and turned into a potentate when she became ten years old, Ves could still grant her better opportunities by asking the Transhumanist Faction to upgrade her talent.

"Rather than relying on others, it's best to do this myself!"

Though Ves hoped to be able to develop his own solution to this impossible problem, he knew that his chances of succeeding were too slim.

By choosing the second upgrade track, he would not only gain a guaranteed method to repair the genetic aptitude of other people, but gain other powerful means to empower his warriors even further!

Still, as much as he felt attracted by the possibilities of the second upgrade track, he grew hesitant about it due to one important factor.

"It doesn't focus on empowering me directly."

Choosing this upgrade track meant that the System would specialize in a direction that effectively made him more dependent on the protection of other people.

Even though Ves had a lot of confidence in his ability to recruit and retain the loyalty of his subordinates, a part of him felt uncomfortable for building up a dependence on other people.

"This is the life of a mech designer." Ves sighed.

Though this was most certainly a downside, it was not as if his situation was any different from now. The current age of humanity completely centered around mechs, and the only individuals who could make effective use of them were mech pilots.

Therefore, the second upgrade track perfectly fit the present circumstances. Making mech pilots as powerful as possible would definitely benefit him the most as long as he maintained control over the soldiers in question.

Ves did not ignore the possibilities of the first upgrade track, though. The initial option presented by the System was even more unreasonable.

Who in the cosmos possessed the power to travel back in time and manipulate past events in order to influence the rise and fall of entire states and civilizations!?

This was arguably the most unreasonable and ridiculous power of the Mech Designer System, and one that he did not exploit often enough.

He did not realize it before, but now that many years had passed since he last went through a Mastery experience, he began to miss the benefits and the possibilities that it provided.

While it was no doubt important for Ves to experience what piloting a mech was like from the perspective of an actual mech pilot, the fact that he was thrust into the mind of an individual in the past was an implication that he did not fully appreciate in the past! _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

If he ever regained the ability to go on trips to the past again, he intended to be a lot more unrestrained with his actions.

In any case, if the MTA or anyone else got wind of his manipulative actions, Ves could easily pass off all of the blame to the mysterious 'Mr. S.', a presumed Star Designer whose traces could only be found in fleeting points of history.

Before Ves made any further considerations, he paused and waited for the System to deliver its next option. He had a feeling that it was far from finished with its presentation.

He was right.

The System no longer presented images of powerful and heroic mech pilots to Ves.

Instead, the gray ball began to project images of a single individual that Ves immediately recognized.

"That's me!" Ves gasped!

Perhaps the System had picked up his dissatisfaction at the previous option's lack of personal empowerment, because this next choice centered all around Ves!
