Chapter 152 Mr. Chen, Are You Really Human?

"Don't push me..." Sisi reluctantly exited the cockpit, and the three girls were playing together.In the end, not only Qin Lingxue, but also Xiao Yezi, who already had a dimension engine in her body, got into the cockpit and tested it.

Sayoko - "Sync rate: 81.1%, an increase of 9.2% from your last sync rate"

Qin Lingxue - "Dimensional engine not detected, ideal synchronization rate 90.5%"

"Why is Xiaoxue's synchronization rate higher than mine?" Sayoko felt that her performance in combat training had always been higher than Xiaoxue's, so she couldn't help being a little unconvinced, "Is the detection device broken?"

"The detection device is not faulty," Gu Shiyin explained. "Saiqi is the type suitable to be a mecha pilot, Xiaoyezi, you are the type more suitable to use a combat exoskeleton, and Qin Lingxue is the balanced type."

There's nothing wrong with this - the mainstream mechas of humans can only be used by humans, and even the mythical creatures belonging to the "Fortress of Sanity" have to use special combat exoskeletons.

"It's my turn." With the help of Xiao Yezi and Saixi, Chen Qiang also got into the entrance of the two-story mecha cab.

The hatch is closed.

come on.

For Chen Qiang, this is just one of many dungeons.

Whether it is a normal reading, or a 100% sync rate opening, he thought, it doesn't really matter.Even if the synchronization rate is 0%, he won't take it too seriously.Not to mention that in the novels he has read, all the protagonists with zero talent have developed later, even if they are really zero, it’s okay to return to reality.

……

at the same time.

Underground garbage dump in an industrial park.

The female ghoul captain released from the transformation state, and let out a long sigh.

Her task force was composed of native Earth ghouls and Martian Aihai mercenaries.This group of Aihai people have bony and jointed limbs, each over two meters tall, with sunken eyes, flat ears, and narrow nostrils.

"I'm going to take a break," she said, walking towards a mecha parked outside the dump.

The players point and point.

"The captain is not in a good mood."

"After all, I killed so many with my own hands..."

"It's been so many years, haven't we all come here like this? It's not just human beings who are eaten by these guys. They go crazy and even their own kind will not let go. Didn't we join the 'Fortress of Sanity' after knowing this? ?”

"It's better not to say..."

Unbeknownst to the team members, the female captain heard their conversation clearly.This female captain is different from those ordinary ghouls, her senses are sharper than theirs.

"Always."

She climbed into the mecha cockpit along the rope ladder.Ghouls can't drive human mechs, but the secluded cockpit is a great place to rest.

The cockpit of the mecha cannot distinguish between humans and humanoid mythical races with "dimension engines" implanted in their bodies.When these mythical races enter the cockpit, the cockpit will issue the same error message——

"'Dimension Engine' 'Virtual World', synchronized."

I don't know how many times the female ghoul captain has heard similar hints.

"Unknown 'dimension engine' model, the operation interface is automatically closed, please contact your 'dimension engine' maintainer."

The lights in the cockpit went out.The female captain began to enjoy a short rest time.

……

In front of the villa in the agricultural area, Chen Qiang sat down in the cockpit.

"'Dimension Engine' and 'Virtual World' have been synchronized." The mecha issued a cold automatic prompt.

Huh?
Is there something like that inside me?
"Unknown 'dimension engine' model, the operation interface is automatically closed, please contact your 'dimension engine' maintainer."

It was dark in the cockpit.Chen Qiang fell into confusion.

He climbed out of the cockpit.

[Sayako Haneda failed the psychology test 38/10]

"How was the result?" Xiao Yezi asked excitedly, completely unaware of the change in Chen Qiang's expression.

[Qin Lingxue's psychology test succeeded 1/39]

"Uh..." Xiaoxue sensed something strange, and pulled Xiao Yezi, signaling her not to continue asking.Sayoko understood immediately.

[Cecile's psychology test failed 100/10]

"..."

"Is it a great result?" Cecilu thought in the opposite direction, "How much is it? Hey, Gu Shiyin, you are monitoring the results, tell me—"

She forgot that her strength was several times stronger than before, and the absent-minded Chen Qiang was accidentally pushed by her——

[Chen Qiang's agility test succeeded 13/70]

If Chen Qiang hadn't grasped Qin Lingxue's hand with quick eyes and hands, and Xiao Yezi and Qin Lingxue pulled Chen Qiang up together, he would have fallen to the ground from the height of the second floor.

"Apologize!" Sayoko pressed Cecilu's head to make her bow to Chen Qiang.

"So, Shiyin," Chen Qiang straightened his hair that was blown away by the wind, "you have been watching it. Why did the error message appear just now?"

Gu Shiyin has a lot of things on his mind.The error message just now appeared on humans indicated that the dimensional engine on them had malfunctioned, and the entry of humanoid mythical creature races into this kind of mecha dedicated to humans is likely to cause false alarms.

"Mr. Chen, answer my question seriously first."

"what?"

"Mr. Chen, are you really still human?" Gu Shiyin asked solemnly.

"..."

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 15/69]

"Are you serious?" Chen Qiang found that Gu Shiyin's tone didn't look like he was joking.

"What's the problem?" Xiaoxue was very upset when she heard that Gu Shiyin asked Chen Qiang like that.

"No, it's impossible." Gu Shiyin denied this possibility by himself.

It is true that human great magicians accidentally transform themselves into non-human races and still do not know it.

However, Gu Shiyin tested Chen Qiang in the real world, and after entering the module, he also used the smart assistant to scan the four teammates. There is no doubt that they are all human.

[Qin Lingxue failed the psychology test 42/39]

"I'm just ruling out all kinds of possibilities." Before Xiaoxue could react, Gu Shiyin muttered to herself, "Yeah, Mr. Chen is completely human no matter what he thinks...so, it's another hypothesis. "

"Hypothesis?" Chen Qiang frowned.

"In the history of this mod, the first machine of the 'Dimension Engine'," Gu Shiyin said, "is likely to be buried in Mr. Chen. That is to say, the initial setting and detection mechanism of the 'Dimension Engine' , it is likely to use Mr. Chen's physical condition as a template..."

Chen Qiang blinked his eyes.

"So?" He looked suspicious.

"If and only if you, who have not been implanted with the dimension engine, enter the cockpit to start the test, the detection system based on you will generate an error, misreporting the current you as an 'unregistered dimension engine' model. That's the only reasonable explanation I can think of right now."
