The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5553

Chapter 5553 Showing Their Age

"So these are the living mechs of the new generation."

"Mhmm."

"How much do you know about the new Fey Fianna?"

"Not as much as you think. I mainly involve myself in swordsman mech designs. I have little motivation and reason to push myself into other mech design projects, even if they are assigned a sword or a knife as a backup weapon. Ves' latest pet project is clearly oriented to mid-ranged combat. The battle has clearly taken the wrong turn. The Fey Fianna is primarily designed to avoid close confrontations."

"I see." Venerable Joshua responded as he enjoyed the warmth of Ketis' hard and athletic body. "Are you interested in designing a melee variant of the Fey Fianna? It might be fun to make a mech that indirectly controls 4 extra swords that can swing in any direction and in different places at once. It might be difficult to make the sword fey strike hard enough, but I am confident that your swordmaster expertise can solve this problem."

Ketis shoved her elbow against her silly husband's side with more than a little force.

"Mech design doesn't work like that. We can't magic every difficult problem away. My gifts as a swordmaster can only do so much."

As the married couple enjoyed a rare day off, they settled into the couch as they watched the projected feed that dominated half of their stateroom aboard the Spirit of Bentheim.

Meanwhile, a pair of cute and growing kids went off to play with each other. Currently, big brother Kirian was trying to teach basic swordplay to his adorable little sister.

"You need to swing your sword this way!"

"This way?" Little Mayra asked as she swung her fuzzy sword-shaped toy in a wobbling manner.

"You're doing better, but you should control your grip. Don't hold the hilt too tight, but don't loosen your fingers too much either. Do you get it, sis?"

"I'm bored. I want to play with my dolls."

"Dolls are boring! Don't you want to become a cool swordmaster like mommy?"

"Mmmmm.... No." Mayra shook her head.

"You're stupid!"

"No, you're stupid!"

"Nuh-uh, you're stupid!"

As the children started to feud against each other, their father reached out and gently drained their frustrations with his soothing force of will.

"Settle down. No one here is stupid. Kirian, if Mayra wants to play with her dolls, just let her. She is not old enough to begin her swordsmanship training. Give her time."

Once he was done with admonishing his children, he resumed his observations of the product reveal that had already produced a lot of excitement.

The patriarch unveiled all kinds of new and improved features with the introduction of the Fey Fianna.

"Fourth generation luminar crystal technology. Fifth generation living mechs. Multi-spirit living mechs. All of that sounds amazing. How soon will those improvements roll out in the expeditionary fleet?"

"You are in for a long wait." Ketis replied in a flat tone. "It takes time to update all of our existing mech models. Many of our lead designers have left to undergo EdNet training. I would like to help, but I only design melee mechs. Ves is the only mech designer in our clan that can implement his improved solutions, and his schedule is always full." _{freewebnøvel.com}

That caused Joshua to frown. "He should hire more mech designers if that is the case. He used to be a lot more relaxed and approachable in the old days. Now, he is not in the same location as us anymore."

"The clan has grown, and so has our patriarch. His burden of responsibility has become much greater than before. I predict that it will take at least a year before he even thinks about updating your Everchanger. There is a chance it may even take longer before he gets around to improving your living mech." Venerable Joshua dramatically threw his hands up. "That's too long! Not just me, but the rest of the old gang have heard little about any anticipated updates to their old expert mechs. Our machines aren't weak, but ever since our resonance strength started to grow like a rocket, many of us feel like our own battle partners are starting to fall behind. We can do much more if we have room to express our expanded power. We at least want our expert mechs to keep up with the times and take advantage of all of the new hyper tech."

Though Ketis pretty much knew what her husband was talking about, it was best not to mention the experimental general cultivation elixirs out loud.

Half of the people in the expeditionary fleet knew that the expert pilots of the Larkinson Clan benefited from an amazing opportunity.

The general cultivation elixirs could be hidden, but their effects were far too obvious!

Every working resonance meter could easily detect the discrete jump in resonance strength right after the expert pilots recovered from their latest elixir ingestion.

Joshua happened to be the expert pilot that derived the most benefits from the general cultivation elixirs!

Whereas the other expert pilots only managed to grow their resonance strengths by 2 to 3 laveres, Joshua never failed to boost his own resonance strength by 4 laveres!
