The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5024

5024 Motivation to Live

Ves had become fascinated by the power of blood when he initially conceived of the Carmine System.

Blood was both a carrier of life and a medium of power.

By absorbing the occult knowledge contained within an enlightenment fruit, Ves had learned many powerful properties and nuances of blood.

Ves knew so much about the more mystical aspects of blood that he could probably do a good job of impersonating a member of the so-called Blood Cult!

Of course, Ves did not bother to waste his time on reproducing the archaic and outdated methods of this forbidden organization.

The knowledge he learned from System mainly served to provide him with the building blocks he needed to come up with his own innovations!

This was why Ves had great confidence in the Carmine System. Perhaps it might look like an abomination to other people, but he considered it to be a brilliant fusion of different concepts.

To Ves, the Carmine System was one of his most beautiful inventions, and one that embodied his design philosophy to an almost perfect degree!

The fleshy organic components of this large mass web of artificial human tissue contained a multitude of life and potential.

By connecting the Carmine System to Benjamin's body, Ves hoped that his grandfather would somehow be able to borrow the abundant strength and vitality of the Dawn Star Project! _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

So far, Ves saw no sign of that happening, but this was just the beginning. There was still time for his grandfather to draw strength from his new mech.

Although Ves did not have a complete understanding of the mechanisms of his own invention, he still possessed a decent idea of how the Carmine System affected the mech pilot.

The Carmine System was the element that enabled mechs and mech pilots to forge a closer connection to each other than was possible with the neural interface.

By forming both a spiritual and physical bond through the medium of blood, Venerable Jannzi had been growing stronger in a remarkable fashion in the past few weeks!

Each time she went through another routine health inspection, her physical body became a little more solid and stronger than before.

While it was not unusual for expert pilots to grow even fitter and healthier due to the influence of their willpower, the degree of Jannzi's physical improvement far surpassed that of other Larkinson expert pilots!

Even the introduction of exotic radiation did not change this fundamental equation!

Ves theorized that Jannzi's strong bond with the Bastion enabled her to inherit a small fraction of her expert mech's power!

At the same time, the Bastion slowly absorbed and integrated Jannzi's exceptional willpower, thereby slowly perfecting its own shortcomings.

His brief observations of Venerable Jannzi and the Bastion confirmed his assumption that the Blood Pact was mutually beneficial to both sides. Neither of the parties suffered or lost anything serious aside from their independence.

"C'mon. Please work. You can do it, grandpa."

Ves and Goldie both kept observing the Dawn Star Project as it slowly attempted to leverage its tentative new Blood Pact with its pilot.

However, nothing seemed to happen.

Although blood continued to circulate between the Dawn Star Project and Benjamin's body, the Blood Pact remained inert.

The machine was not the problem. The living mech had gained a lot more life and activity after it successfully formed a bond with Benjamin Larkinson. It followed its programming and its own desires and worked hard to strengthen the Blood Pact by pushing for a mutual exchange.

Yet despite the new custom mech's earnest efforts, the pilot remained unresponsive!

Benjamin had done nothing after Goldie nudged him to accept the Blood Pact!

"Nyaa nyaa nyaa."

Goldie grew frustrated as she tried to encourage the unconscious man to interact with the Blood Pact. It shouldn't take too much effort to deepen his connection with his new mech, but the lack of any strong movements prevented the new bond from developing any further!

Ves grew frustrated with the lack of activity. I Ils grandfather was getting nowhere like this! The Blood Pact needed to be actively used by both sides in order to unlock its potential!

It was like opening a communication channel between two different parties, only for one end to remain completely silent and unresponsive!

·?θm This was not the result that Ves desired.

His control panel produced several alarming noises.

"Damnit! My grandfather's body can't withstand the stress of this activity!"

His body's condition was already hovering at its limits. Though the new blood circulating through his body forcefully injected it with vitality, the current state of the Blood Pact prevented his grandfather from properly drawing strength from the Dawn Star Project!

Instead, it produced an adverse effect as the powerful foreign blood of the new mech seemed to push Benjamin's feeble body beyond its coping ability.

If this continued on without any changes, his grandfather might die due to subjecting it to an excessive amount of stress!

Ves worked to adjust the parameters, but nothing helped. The problem was not that Benjamin was physically incapable of interfacing with the Dawn Star Project.

The true cause of the lack of activity was that his grandfather did not show the initiative to engage with the Blood Pact!

Ves understood why this was the case.

His grandfather was too lacking in motivation!

Every mech pilot possessed a strong fighting Intent. They relied upon it to push through any pain or discomfort.

The stronger their desire to fight, the more successful they became in their careers!

Expert pilots were exceptional because their fighting intent pushed their willpower beyond any mortal limitations.

It should normally be impossible for expert pilots to experience any fatalism!

No matter how poor the odds had become, they never backed down and never admitted defeat when duty called them to fight to the end!

Ves had only seen two expert pilots completely lose their fighting intent.

Venerable Davla Stark was originally a broken woman, but with the help of Venerable Brutus, she regained her fire and forged herself anew!
