Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 522 - 427 Red, Blue

Countless mechanical constructs whirled through the air, as a black mechanical gate slowly parted to the left and right before Bai E’s eyes, revealing two distinctively colored medium-sized intelligences.

One red, one blue.

Their forms were low and squat, resembling human mechas flattened into the shape of tanks.

One of them wielded a sword and shield, as if a swordsman from ancient human legends had come to life.

The other, brandishing massive dual guns, stood motionless like a formidable heavy firepower fortress.

Their exaggerated color schemes undeniably proclaimed their identities—first-generation intelligences.

At the level Bai E had reached by now, besides these first-generation intelligences, ordinary intelligence constructs could hardly trouble him anymore.

Only those first-generations, direct inheritors of the Golden Age’s technology, were qualified to battle Bai E.

Upon sighting the two newly-appeared intelligences, Bai E didn’t hesitate. The silver staff in his hands swept forward with tremendous force and a deep whoosh of wind.

The first-generation intelligence with the sword and shield blinked across the space under nearly silent engine thrust, arriving right at the point where the path of the silver staff’s swing met its full impact at the earliest stage of momentum.

The huge, red-painted longsword was promptly placed against the staff near the end Bai E was holding, just before the staff’s kinetic force fully kicked in.

"Hum~"

At the moment’s vibration, the staff, etherealized by Spiritual Energy, nearly revealed its slender original form amidst a sequence of flickering illusions. Stay updated with novelbuddy

The intelligence that had blocked Bai E’s attack didn’t follow up but, instead, sheathed its sword like a true human swordsman. Its crimson electronic eyes looked toward Bai E, and a synthesized electronic voice conveyed human speech, "You’re very skilled. If you withdraw now, we will not hold you accountable."

Bai E stabilized the transformation state of the staff with Spiritual Power Enchantment, his heart pounding as he focused on the light blue panel he had intended to summon before him, which now clearly displayed the combat information he had gathered about his opponent from the strike—

[Through this attack, you’ve gathered the following relevant information…]

[??? (Intelligence) (Hostile): Health ???/???; Defensive Power ???; Mobility 100%; Traits: Dynamic Source Sword, Super Alloy Armor, Nano-Repair…]

Beyond the core elements like Super Alloy Armor and Nano-Repair, which were the same, the differences between each first-generation intelligence, even though they were all intelligences, were absolutely vast.

Every first-generation intelligence had its own field of expertise and a unique "personality."

Each of these beings, having inherited the grand technology of the Golden Age, was a miraculous creation that persisted from that era, each adorned with the most striking achievements of that time.

[Dynamic Source Sword: The atomic-level force field permeating the blade enables it to tear through nearly all known existing materials; its only drawback is the terrifying amount of energy consumed to maintain the field’s presence.]

Cleaving force field!

This was the source of the Dynamic Source Sword’s power.

To fight such an opponent meant one had to avoid its edge; any broad, sweeping attacks that collided with the enemy’s weapon would only leave one at a disadvantage.

While his thoughts churned, Bai E’s Spiritual Energy contracted.

The Spiritual Energy that had suffused the staff receded, causing the giant staff to vanish, leaving only the regular silver rod in Bai E’s hand.

He tossed it aside and drew a broad-bladed longsword.

[Military Longsword—Quality: Blue (Light Weapon)]

[Basic Parameters: Blade Attack Power (Type: Slashing): 20~25; Energy Output Level 10; Enhancing Attribute: Armor-Piercing +3%; Durability 100/100.]

[Usage Requirements: Physique 8 (usable).]

[Trait: The dual-alloy construction is light enough to make this longsword both sufficiently lethal and not cumbersome, thus not affecting speed.]

Military longswords were quite different from ceremonial or aristocratic swords. Slightly thicker blades gave them a more robust quality, and their dual-alloy construction made them lighter, unlike the typical heavy Bug-Slaying Blades used by warriors.

Bai E, with a Level 6 expertise in light weapons plus an additional +1 level from his Weapon Master skill, was at a pinnacle level in his use of light weapons compared to most humans.

"Hum~"

A mist of Spiritual Energy spread from Bai E’s body to the weapon in his hand, vibrating the blade at a high frequency as it received the Spiritual Power Enchantment.

High-Frequency Cutting.

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

The Magic Blade skill in the light weapons tree could add an additional enchanted coating to the weapon; normally, these only included ice, fire, and other standard attributes. However, Bai E, who also had the ability to enchant with Spiritual Energy, unlocked many more special coatings.

Of course, all these special coatings would be based on Bai E’s understanding and imagination. Spiritual Energy would materialize the actual coatings based on his clarity of cognition and practical imagination. The clearer and more grounded the imagination, the easier the enchantment would be successful and exhibit its intended effects.

High-Frequency Cutting Weapons were a new type of weapon being developed by the scientists in the research department, and there had been successful prototypes. However, due to cost issues and problems with quality stability, they were not yet ready for mass production. Bai E, having shown interest and learned about them, now effortlessly replicated the same effect.

The High-Frequency Cutting coating endowed the sword with significantly enhanced cutting ability, which translated to nearly doubling the blade’s slashing attack power in data terms.
