The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5384

Chapter 5384 Long-Awaited Upgrade Plan

After Ves praised his daughter, Andraste merrily skipped away so that she could take a shower and change into a different outfit.

The father watched the girl go with a decidedly mixed expression.

"It is impressive to see how much her marksmanship has improved." Ves spoke. "She has only been at it for less than a year, correct?"

Saintess Ulrika Vraken nodded. "I have never taught marksmanship to a child this young. I cannot say whether any young girl under 10 can become as effective in combat as her, but my intuition indicates that not even her Terran peers can keep up with her rate of improvement. If she can develop the aptitude to pilot a mech, then I can easily imagine her becoming a terror on the battlefield, and that is without taking account of the fact that she has earned Helena's favor."

All of this sounded too good. Many parents would be filled with pride if one of their children demonstrated so much skill and talent for combat at a young age.

Of course, it was absolutely luxurious for Andraste to receive the personal tutelage of both a swordmaster and an ace pilot who specialized in ranged combat.

Not every child could improve so quickly under the same circumstances. The fact that Andraste managed to absorb much of their teachings and internalized them much faster than anyone could imagine signaled that she had a bright future as a soldier or a mech pilot!

The Age of Mechs may have come to an end in the Red Ocean, but mechs still occupied the mainstream in current society.

A part of Ves wished his daughter would be able to pursue the career that eluded him. Seeing his daughter succeed as a mech pilot would do much to make up for past regrets.

"It would be nice if she ends up developing a high enough genetic aptitude, but the odds are still too fickle to be certain." Ves sighed.

The Hexer ace pilot nodded. She was one of the many hopeful people who lucked out in this regard. She knew a lot of other Hexers who had been forced to abandon their dreams of pursuing a glorious piloting career.

"It is not wise to place too much hope on a child. Andraste has developed so many expectations that she will crash harder than any other girl if she fails to obtain the qualifications to become a mech pilot."

Ves grimly nodded. While this was not strictly an insurmountable problem anymore, it would still be devastating if his girl could not follow in the footsteps of her new idols.

Just like any other child, Andraste had become enthralled by god pilots ever since she watched the broadcasts.

She had made it her life's mission to become as powerful as those impressive god pilots one day!

However, in order to do so, she first had to pass the first major test of her life. It would become much harder for her to fulfill her ambition without the support of the right genetic aptitude.

Saintess Ulrika directed a pointed stare at Ves.

"I have noticed a gradual shift in mentality from your daughter. It started a few months ago. Is your daughter engaging in meditation?"

"Sort of." Ves replied. "I am not sure how much you know about this, but there are ways for the human mind to leverage the E energy around us. It is much easier to do this if you have a companion spirit, but you can do this without one if you work really hard. I promised to give my girl a meditation method of sorts that will hopefully improve her chances of developing the right genetic aptitude."

a?? I,

The Hexer ace pilot grew speechless for a moment.

"If I am being frank with you, that sounds... impossible. However, you are the Supreme Son. You are known for producing miracles. Since you are dealing with your own daughter, I assume that you understand the potential risks and dangers. A child as young as Andraste shouldn't be meditating at all in my opinion."

"It is not as dangerous as it sounds." Ves explained. "I have developed multiple different methods, and the one that I have formulated for my own daughter is relatively simple. It is nothing more than a way to direct her wishful thinking in a more focused manner. Combined with the instruction that she should practice it in proximity to a mech, the worst that could happen is to reinforce her current obsession."

He had promised to give his daughter a way that could increase her chances of becoming a potentate. He fulfilled her request, but did not put anything fancy in her mediation method.

From what she learned from her mother, cultivation was a process of active self-evolution by absorbing energy and directing it to make focused changes in alignment with an artistic conception.

The more basic methods were mostly harmless, but produced relatively weak results. So long as Ves did not add any excessive or convoluted steps in the method. He only added that part about spending time with mechs in order to reinforce Andraste's self-delusion.

Ves was actually a bit hopeful about this meditation method. Its effects were bound to be weak, but he guessed that even a slight effect would produce an actual result.
