I have a Synthesizer

Klein nodded in satisfaction upon hearing that Candlenut had installed backdoors on all the mechs.

"Very good, very good, Candlenut. It seems we're having a good collaboration."

Candlenut was actually a little confused by Klein's actions. Esmond was Klein's father. Was this a coup?

"Isn't Esmond your father? Why are you doing these things? Even if you want to become the leader of the J Society, there's no need to be so hasty!"

Regarding Candlenut's question, Klein thought for a moment and decided to reveal some information to him, so as to facilitate their deeper cooperation.

Compared to the homunculus in the ancient ruins bottle and the six ancient dragons, Candlenut himself was a kind of ancient ruin, and a living one at that.

"Although he is my father, that doesn't mean he and I are on the same side."

"Candlenut, do you know that we call the abilities and technologies left over from the ancient times before the Cataclysm 'Ancient Ruins'?"

"Ancient Ruins?"

"Yes, you are also one of the Ancient Ruins, but the relationship here is a long story."

Klein gave Candlenut a rough explanation of some information about the Ancient Ruins, as well as some of his own information, picking and choosing what to say.

He also explained his current relationship with his father, Esmond, and then quietly looked at Candlenut, waiting for his answer.

Candlenut looked at Klein and roughly understood that Klein's abilities were so powerful, probably also a legacy of the Ancient Ruins. He nodded.

"I understand. Then when will you probably make your move?"

Klein took a box of fresh food specially supplied to Perona by the J Society from the side, and replied while eating:

"Why? I'm not in a hurry, are you very anxious?"

Candlenut shook his head.

"No, I'm not in a hurry at all. On the contrary, I need more time than you, or rather, Perona needs more time.

The current environment of the J Society, and the resources that your father, Esmond, provides to Perona, are still quite suitable for Perona's development, so I certainly hope to delay it longer.

The longer the time, the faster Perona's growth will be. The stronger her strength, the more mana mechs she can create.

I think your goal should not just be to become the leader of the J Society, right?"

Klein nodded. The supply of various materials without cost, and the super-large work area, even he envied such an environment. No wonder Candlenut was reluctant to part with it.

As for his purpose after becoming the leader of the J Society, there were still many. Regarding Candlenut's worries, he still had to clearly reassure him.

"Don't worry, even if something happens to the J Society in the future, Perona's benefits will not change.

Moreover, the J Society will not undergo major changes in a short period of time. Although my strength has increased a lot, it has not swelled to the point where I would go and seek death against a Super Rank powerhouse.

Just like you said, we all need time. I'm only 22 years old, what's the rush?"

Candlenut nodded.

"That's good. Although we are allies, I don't want you to treat Perona as a machine for war in the future."

These words had a hint of warning. Klein heard it. He nodded. This kind of new type of mana mech was indeed too suitable for war.

If it were a ruthless, warmongering madman, Perona, with her life-mechanical abilities, would definitely become a war machine in their hands.

The conversation ended, and Klein and Candlenut began to test how to specifically operate the backdoors he had set on these new mana mechs.

This backdoor was very simple, it was in the core life-mechanical component of the mech.

But this backdoor was also unsolvable, because the core parts of each mech were made by Candlenut.

Esmond had no way to avoid this backdoor, because the only person with life-mechanical abilities was Perona. Candlenut had to rely on Perona's body to create the backdoor.

After the delivery, Esmond could only obtain the third control permission of the new mech, and the authorization permission to continue downwards.

The hidden first control permission of all mechs was set by Candlenut to Perona, and the second control permission was given to Klein.

This method not only fulfilled the cooperation requirements Klein had previously proposed, but also demonstrated his abilities to Klein.

After Klein looked at the principle of this set of hidden permissions, he suddenly fantasized about the scene where all the mechs would turn against his father one day.

"A stable magic power output magic power connection!"

He failed several times at the beginning, because he always couldn't grasp exactly how much magic power should be output, but only a few failures attracted Candlenut's poisonous tongue.

"You're so stupid! How dare you call yourself a genius."

"… …"

Klein was a little embarrassed and angry. He ignored Candlenut and chose to continue to seriously control the mech in front of him.

In terms of magic power control, he was a true master. After trying a few more times, Klein was finally able to grasp the specific value of each magic power output and make a magic power connection with the mana mech.

"Success!" Klein was a little excited.

Candlenut on the side was stunned. He deliberately didn't tell Klein the specific amount of magic power output when performing magic power control.

Because Klein always showed off in front of him, so he deliberately didn't tell Klein this point, wanting to suppress Klein's arrogance.

He didn't expect that the other party would be able to succeed after only trying a few times without knowing the amount of magic power output. Was this still human?

Comparing the difference in IQ between Klein and Perona, Candlenut once again had self-doubt.

"Maybe this kid is just lucky!"

"Yo ho, you really got lucky, there's another one over there, try it again."

Klein was currently using magic power to connect and control the mana mech in his hand, feeling like he was controlling a remote control robot, which was quite fun.

At this time, hearing Candlenut ask him to control another mana mech, he had a whim and once again separated a wisp of magic power, accurately connecting to another mana mech.

Klein controlled two mechs with magic power. At the beginning, he only made the two mechs do the same movements. After being familiar with it for a while.

The two mechs controlled by Klein began to make different movements. This technique of being able to perform two-way operations in just a few minutes almost shocked Candlenut.

"This kid! He's definitely not human! At least not a purebred."

After a while, Klein could even control the two mechs to fight each other, and could truly do it to the point of stopping at the right moment.

At this time, Candlenut didn't want to speak anymore, because he couldn't do any of these things. Maybe he could have done it before, but Perona's body couldn't.

Klein walked to a mech and touched the number GTX-1010 on the mech. The synthesizer actually gave a prompt.

Mana Mech GTX-1010

Grade: Magic Item

Effect 1 - Mana Micro-terminal: Able to receive mana command consciousness, can execute some general command frameworks.

Effect 2 - Mana Furnace: Able to absorb various mana materials for energy recovery.

Effect 3 - Self-Repair: Consumes mana to perform self-repair.

Introduction: GTX series miniature mana mech produced by Jessop's Perona, the 10th generation product.

"It's already the 10th generation? It seems like quite a few have been eliminated before. Mechs, these things, are truly a man's romance!"

Klein admired somewhat. This was the true ancient magic civilization, reaching a peak in biology, genetics, and mechanics.

The glory of this world's ancient times was simply unimaginable. The only difference from his previous life was that the main power source of this world was mana.

Klein moved the other mech over as well. He placed his hands on the two mechs, and a bold idea suddenly arose.

The arcane radiance in his palm surged, and the two mana mechs were absorbed into the synthesizer.

Candlewick saw this scene and assumed that Klein had stored the mechs in his space ring, so he couldn't help but interrupt:

"Hey, these two are supposed to be delivered to your father, Asmond. If you take them away now, what am I supposed to deliver?"

Klein didn't respond to Candlewick. He looked at the prompts in the synthesizer, lost in thought.

[Mana Mech GTX-1010 (Magic Item) + Mana Mech GTX-1010 (Magic Item)]

[Probability to obtain GTX series mech, probability to obtain a stronger GTX series mech, small probability to obtain a special mana mech]

"Special mana mech! And it's a small probability, not an extremely small probability."

The synthesis of mana mechs is exactly the same as space rings. Synthesizing mechs with mechs will still only produce mechs.

Klein had no intention of synthesizing them. These two mechs were for Candlewick to deliver to Asmond, and he couldn't possibly touch them. It wasn't the right time yet.

Moreover, these two mechs were only Tier 3. Although Klein was also Tier 3 now, he already looked down on Tier 3 things.

However, the very small probability of obtaining a special mana mech still aroused his strong interest. He could slowly try things related to mana mechs in the future.

He released the two mana mechs and turned to Candlewick, saying meaningfully:

"Candlewick, your talent is truly unimaginable."

The special synthesis of the mechs made Klein couldn't help but praise Candlewick.

Being able to independently create this new type of mana mech capable of individual combat was enough for Asmond to temporarily abandon the artificial human project, change Jessop's development direction, and invest in mana energy.

Not to mention that this thing can also be stably and directionally synthesized. Once the number of mechs reaches a base number, he can synthesize a batch of special mechs, and then it will be fun.

Candlewick, who was praised by Klein, didn't feel happy at all. He used to be a top expert, and he had received too many praises. What really surprised him was Klein himself.

His almost perfect mana control skills allowed him to grasp the control of the mech in a short period of time without any practice.

"Do you still need to engage in commercial flattery with me? You're also very good. You have this kind of strength at a young age, and you can even create things like Mysterious Potions. Oh, right, is this thing eaten directly?"

Candlewick took out a Mysterious Potion and held it in his hand.

"Yes, just eat it directly. There are no requirements. You can do it anytime, anywhere. I also have something to tell you.

Only I can create Mysterious Potions, and only the Mysterious Potions I give you are real. I won't let this thing spread out, but it's possible that accidents will happen.

And now there's something circulating outside called Magic Spirit, also known as Addiction Potion, which looks very similar to this. Remember, don't touch that thing."

Hearing Klein's special instructions, Candlewick nodded.

"I know. I'll tell Perona. Also, Perona is pretty good. Have you considered her?"

Klein was stunned: "Are you starting to get naughty too?"

"Alright, alright, I won't interfere with you young people's affairs."

Candlewick returned the main consciousness to Perona, and Perona began to chatter and circle around Klein.

It could be seen that the closed-door cultivation during this period had made Perona very anxious.

But because Candlewick told her that if she didn't seriously improve her strength and skills, she would soon be abandoned by Klein, the playful Perona had been burying herself in cultivation, for fear of being left behind.

"Senior Klein, am I much stronger than before now? Can I help you now?"

"Yes, and it's very important."

Very important! Senior said it's very important, did you hear that?

Receiving Klein's affirmation, Perona suddenly felt a sense of elation. After enduring for so long, she was finally affirmed.

Although Asmond had affirmed her many times, she really couldn't muster any interest in the affirmation and praise of an old man.

Especially since Asmond always used that weird way of speaking, she disliked it even more.

"Thank you, I will continue to work hard, Senior!"

The hidden Candlewick secretly shook his head. He really didn't know what kind of medicine Perona had taken from Klein. Why was she so hung up on this one tree?

But even from his perspective, Klein could be considered a very outstanding talent.

According to Klein's statement, the knowledge that Perona has mastered under his guidance is too dangerous and belongs to ancient relics technology.

If there isn't a strong person standing behind her, then the outcome of Perona, who has mastered mech technology, might not be very good. After all, Perona isn't the kind of person who is good at fighting.

Klein chatted with Perona for a while and then got up to leave.

When he left, he also took more than 20 bottles of tequila and some food from Perona.

He really wasn't greedy for this little bit of money. Would he care about something worth more than 1,000 Thales? The main reason for doing this was that he couldn't stand it.

… …

Perona watched Klein leave and suddenly said to Candlewick:

"Lord Candlewick, I feel like I've sublimated!"

Candlewick was a little confused. He didn't know if Perona had been planted with some evil magic by Klein.

[Huh? What's different?]

"Now I realize that Senior Klein isn't the kind of superficial guy. His ambitions and ideals are great!"

[Yo! Can a salted fish like you understand ambition and ideals? That's progress.]

"It's all thanks to Lord Candlewick. Otherwise, a lazy person like me might never have been able to get close to him.

Lord Candlewick, I want to create something that will amaze Senior Klein, and all of you."

[Tch, something that will amaze everyone? A bragging female simp!]

"Are you going to help or not?"

[Alright, alright, I'll help, I'll help!]

Although Candlewick said so, he would definitely fully support Perona now that she had motivation.
