The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1204

(Unedited)

…

As Xin Ja lays on his bed, his mind began thinking about the plan that the high-ranking officers have discussed the whole night.

"That was a very bold plan and I have to help them create suitable Mechas for such mission…" he muttered to himself as a slight smile appears on his face.

Instead of sleeping, Xin Ja sat cross-legged inside his room and began absorbing the chaotic Ki in his environment.

Upon reaching the 3rd level a while ago, he has already acclimated himself to the newfound strength. In fact, he is able to truly defeat Lin Ro and his cronies because of his 3rd level of strength. If he is only at the 1st level, then the array trap would not be able to hold such strength of his enemies that long.

Plus the strength of Commander Zhang is something that he has a hard time controlling at that time. He could only give in by limiting the control on his body to that of a normal speed.

But it was truly a dangerous situation. If the commander used more of his power, Xin Ja did not know how strong the backlash would have been.

…

The sun is already high up in the sky and Tiig town is once again bustling as soldiers and the town's people began another day.

Knock! Knock!

Xin Ja's cultivation was interrupted by someone knocking on his door.

He slowly opens his eyes and directed his gaze at the door outside his temporary residence.

With his sharp hearing, he could hear a familiar breathing and a familiar scent.

He showed a slight smile on his face but also a bit of confusion.

"Hey, Little Ja… Are you not going to report to the factory today?" Qiang Yaoyao said with a beautiful bright smile on her face as Xin Ja opened the door.

Xin Ja almost got blinded by her as he squinted a little.

"Nope… I have to work at the workshop today…" Xin Ja said.

Qiang Yaoyao frowned after hearing his words. She then showed a sad expression as she heaves a heavy sigh.

"Since knowing your true identity, I… I know that you will be transferred. But… Sigh… I hope that I can still see you…" she said with a crestfallen expression.

"What are you talking about? We are friends, right? If you want to see me, then you can just message me, okay?" Xin Ja said as he looks around and quickly drags Qiang Yaoyao inside.

Qiang Yaoyao's face suddenly blushed as she felt the hand of Xin Ja grabbing her wrist.

But Xin Ja did not have any thought about what he has just done. He carefully takes out a Mule and then sets the rune array inside of it to connect with his old Mule which he usually uses to connect with his father.

"This is Mule, something that was produced in Ogden Town," he said.

"Ah… yes, I have heard about this. It is something like an artifact that has space for storing non-living things, right?"

"Umn… I will give this to you. Now, this is connected to my Mule, which means it is shared. So if you wanted to communicate with me, just write a letter and store it inside. You can also store your stuff in there… just make sure to put a label on it so that my father or I will not take it out…" Xin Ja instructed.

He began to instruct Qiang Yaoyao on how to use the Mule and its functions. A happy and excited smile could be seen on her face as she began to tinker on the palm-size touch screen transparent flat crystal.

As of now, the Mule's popularity has already spread throughout the kingdom. But the creator of such a thing is still unknown. But it is said that the Xin family in Ogden town is the source. However, no one dares to antagonize the family anymore as Master Wang is now openly protecting them.

After Qiang Yaoyao left Xin Ja's home, she reported to the factory and Xin Ja went to the command room.

He immediately knocks on the 4th prince's office.

Right at this moment the 4th prince is checking some documents and sitting in a relaxed position on the couch is the tall and handsome young man.

"Oh, so you are the Xin Ja that everyone is talking about. Damn… you really are too young. Hahaha… I can't believe that you were able to create those monstrous things…" the young man said.

"Junior Officer Xin, please take a seat…" Han Bai said as he gestured for Xin Ja to sit down.

"Thank you, sir!" Xin Ja cupped his hands and takes his seat.

"This is my Chief Smith, Goh Xuilin… He is one of the people who have cracked the blueprints that you have given us…" Han Bai explained.

"Ah, nice to meet you, Chief Goh…" Xin Ja greeted.

"It's alright… Well, let's just go straight to the point, okay? In our yesterday's meeting, we have assigned you to create a special kind of Mecha for the mission. And I have Chief Goh here to assist you in creating the blueprints and the manufacturing of the Mechas. This will be of utmost secrecy so we are going to transfer to the 5th fortress…" Han Bai explained.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ja nodded his head. In fact, if they transfer to the 5th fortress, then that would be far better than in this place where there is a viper looking down on his neck, ready to strike anytime soon.

He knew that he has once again offended Commander Zhang yesterday. So he could feel that the person would make his move if he would stay in this place. Going with the 4h prince is the better option for now.

"Do you have anything to take care of or still needed to get some personnel?" Han Bai asked.

Xin Ja thinks for a second but shakes his head. He was thinking of taking Yi Terai, but she is the village chief of Misty village, so he could not take her from that place. Plus, she would be safer in that place than outside, so as long as he is still weak, he will not endanger the people close to him.

"I am ready to move with you, your highness…" Xin Ja replied.

"Okay… I will give the two of you some time… Umn… Xin Ja. I… I have a small request. Can you make me my own Mecha? Something that suits me…" Han Bai suddenly requested.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ja's expression turned into shock. He did not know what to say upon hearing such trust by a royalty towards himself.

Xin Ja felt a bit flustered as he did not know what to say.

"Haha… Relax young man, just ask what you want and I will help you with the designs…" Chief Goh said with a smile.

"Ugh… That… I mean it would be an honor, 4th prince." Xin Ja said with a bow.

His mind is already thinking of ways how to create the perfect Mecha for the 4th prince.

Xin Ja is a bit dazed at this time making Chief Goh and the 4th prince show a contemplative smile. They knew that this young man is a bit of a weirdo as he is called a genius. Most geniuses have those quirks in them that set them apart from the rest of ordinary people.

And it seems that deep thinking while in a daze is the young man's quirk.

Soon, Xin Ja suddenly showed an excited expression as he takes out a large piece of paper and a pen from his ring.

This actually surprised the two people who are watching him… but they did not think too much.

As a prince, Han Bai has already come across those rare space artifacts and also the appearance of the mass-produced Mule. So he connected what Xin Ja did to a Mule.

Then the two just watch as Xin Ja began to draw while muttering to himself.

It took him about an hour before he was able to draw a rough representation of a Mecha.

"Hmm… This mecha… It is a bit… sleek, but does it look a bit weak? And what is that bulky thing on its back?" Chief Goh said with a frown.

Xin Ja shake his head as he began to explain.

"The form of this Mecha is built for speed and maneuverability. Plus, the backpack is for long-range communication and an additional Ki energy pack. It can also carry ammunition and additional equipment…"

Xin Ja then began drawing some parts on the paper and cutting them so that the two could see what he means. Upon seeing the Mecha and its extended arsenals, the two were dumbfounded.

"This… this is like a one-man army… isn't it a bit taxing to the energy consumption of the Mecha?" Chief Goh muttered.

"Well, that is the reason for the backpack…" Xin Ja explained.

After hearing the explanation from Xin Ja a smile could be seen on Han Bai's face.

"I like it… It is like a mobile command unit… Hahaha… This is perfect for me! Hahaha…" Han Bai chuckled upon understanding the Mecha's design.
