The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5147

For a brief instance of time, Ves had the illusion that his second daughter turned into a miniature living mech that was cultivating the Greater Larkinson Metal Guardian Mantra.

Had the arche or the puelmers secretly infiltrated his clan and surreptitiously replaced his flesh-and-blood daughter with a facsimile that actually consisted of a miniature mech?

Ves soon shook his head. This was a ridiculous thought!

He knew his children extremely well. Only his wife possessed a greater familiarity towards the child she once bore in her belly.

When Ves activated his spiritual senses, he began to study his daughter while she was cultivating according to an unknown method.

He immediately made several observations.

First, the cultivation method primarily centered around Andraste herself, but Yaika was able to pitch in due to her inherently spiritual nature.

Second, his daughter was exceptionally suited to cultivate as energy not only poured into her spirit, but also her blessed body!

Third, whatever cultivation method Andraste got her hands on was relatively mild and ineffective.

Fourth, Ves did not think that it was beneficial for Andraste to cultivate this method because his daughter was absorbing spiritual energies without making too many distinctions between their attributes.

While Ves did not sense that Andraste was actively causing any acute harm towards herself, that did not mean the cultivation method was benign.

For example, it might cause her to turn into an odd form of qi cultivator that completely precluded her from becoming a mech pilot.

The cultivation method might also cause her to develop an affinity into elements that did not suit her goals or inclinations.

There were way too many possible side effects and adverse outcomes for Ves to allow his daughter to continue with her activity.

Although Ves did not want to become an overbearing parent who had to control every single aspect of his children's lives, he did not want Andraste to engage in a method that would lead to unpredictable outcomes!

"Cultivation is not a game, pumpkin." Ves stated in a stern voice. "It is a life-changing activity that can be dangerous or irreversible. It is never a good idea to engage in a practice without guidance from an actual expert or authority in the relevant field. For example, you learned your swordsmanship from Ketis, who is both skilled and trustworthy enough to prevent you from inflicting harm onto yourself. Where did you find this method, anyway?"

The little girl grew a little timid as she rose up to her feet again. "I found it on the galactic net."

She proceeded to provide him with a brief explanation on how she stumbled upon a meditation method that claimed to turn any child into a potentate.

A lot of commenters expressed skepticism towards this dubious mantra. They apparently felt they did not gain any discernible benefits from practicing this strange method.

Andraste was the exception. She actually managed to experience real changes after she started to follow the written instructions!

Benjamin meanwhile was helpful enough to transmit a virtual document that contained the original text that described this so-called 'meditation method'.

Ves immediately entered into an analytical mode and started to dissect the entire text. He utilized his current understanding of cultivation science as well as spirituality to cut past all of the marginal content and decipher the more functional and critical components of the method.

The more he studied the method, the more he grew concerned.

"What do you think, grandson? Is there any truth to its claims?"

It took a few seconds for Ves to offer his response.

"This cultivation method definitely has a basis in authentic cultivation." He eventually said. "There are many parts to it that look like it has been copied from numerous ancient books before being pasted together to make up for a brand-new method. The author subsequently added a few original elements to the mantra in order to tie all of the components together in an attempt to produce a specific result. I can vaguely surmise that whoever did all of this work had no malicious intentions. It is truly an earnest if somewhat clumsy attempt to increase the chance for children to develop more suitable genetic aptitudes."

Andraste's eyes lit up all of a sudden. "Doesn't that mean that I will definitely pilot mechs in the future?!"

Ves immediately shook his head. "Not so fast, my girl. Did you just miss what I told you earlier? We have no idea whether its creator is competent enough to make a safe and effective cultivation method. It might not be good for you either because you are much different from normal humans. Without a central authority similar to the Mech Trade Association that can professionally check and certify whether a method meets all of the requirements, it is highly uncertain whether it is safe or not. You can't afford to make any mistakes in matters like this. You should have gone to me a lot sooner."

Andraste looked like she was starting to understand her mistake. "I'm sorry, papa."

"I need to confer with a more knowledgeable expert about this subject. Please wait for a moment."

Ves went still. Both Benjamin and Andraste thought that he was silently contacting another person through his cranial implant.

The actual truth was that he was using Veronica to pay another visit to Cynthia back in the Milky Way Galaxy.
