Chapter 374: Chapter 298 People Can Be Influenced by Their Environment_1

A charging plug, for a country with a complete industrial system, a press of the production button could produce a whole bunch of them, but lacking sufficient basic technological support, it took over two days just to make this one charging plug.

Such a speed would blow the minds of those who manufacture these battle suits. Manual crafting a charging plug, what kind of hand-operated machine is this?

But Zheng Yichen was well aware that his ability to manually craft such a thing was purely the result of high-tech assistance. The projection equipment installed in the motorcycle could perform precise ’inspections,’ allowing the parts crafted by Zheng Yichen’s hands to have minimal errors.

A slight deviation would prompt Lilith to give timely suggestions. Without her corrections, it might take him several months to craft something like this. It wouldn’t be a big deal to make a rough plug, but one of such precision was out of the question.

In the process of manual crafting, Lilith was a very unique mold.

After assembling the charging plug, Zheng Yichen twisted a ring on it, watching the plug transform like a precision toy. During the process, there was hardly any feeling of obstruction, very smooth, and he nodded in satisfaction. It was worth the skin worn off his hands.

The next step was the circuitry, which was easy to resolve by making a simple conversion interface. Although an even simpler method would be to directly cut the motorcycle’s built-in charging port’s electrical connection, Zheng Yichen did not want to damage his beloved vehicle.

A simple conversion interface, connected to a thick internal power cable. Zheng Yichen rubbed his hands together and pushed the charging plug into the charging port.

A projection screen popped up in front of Zheng Yichen, displaying a ’charging’ prompt. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen let out a slight sigh of relief, "We’re both pretty amazing!"

Perched on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, Lilith said, "The charging speed is 22% lower than the estimated efficiency, within an acceptable range, and it’s expected to finish charging in five hours."

"Oh? That’s a pretty fast charging speed," Zheng Yichen exclaimed in surprise. He thought it would take over a dozen hours, but the charging would be completed within five hours.

Does that mean just a nap and it’s done?

"The battery performance of this kind of battle suit is very high, hence the relatively fast charging speed," Lilith explained briefly. As for the motorcycle’s recovery speed, that was even faster, and this world no longer had nightfall. Although the environment inside the anomaly was different from the outside world, the weather was synchronized.

From the time they entered until now, they hadn’t experienced night. The temperature inside was always high, maintaining the motorcycle’s recovery speed at a fast pace. The surplus energy generated was difficult to use for enhancing firearms in this environment, but it was more than enough for charging the battle suit.

"Because the charging port is slightly incompatible, it will lead to a rapid decline in battery life."

"Is it serious?"

"After the sixteenth charge, the battery performance will be permanently reduced by 6%."

"No big deal, we won’t use it that long anyway. This could be seen as a form of technological theft prevention." When Lilith mentioned this, Zheng Yichen was no longer worried. Forget about charging sixteen times, even six charges would be tough. Without extra battles, the device was just a portable air conditioner to him.

"Speed up and move out once charging is complete!"

Four and a half hours later, a long spectacle appeared on the desert, with large quantities of dust billowing behind the speeding motorcycle.

As he was about to reach the center of the anomaly, Zheng Yichen was attacked again. This time, the Boundary Breakers even brought heavy artillery and other such weapons, prompting Zheng Yichen to curse. Those heavy guns belonged to this world, but the shells were normal ones, not the kind from the outside world that could create light explosions.

In such conditions, it was difficult to use light beam guns, let alone those explosive light shells.

Why?

It’s because those light beam guns and explosive light shells were not purely technological products. They contained special powers, and thus were seriously affected by Environmental Adjustment.

But firearms with actual bullets weren’t affected by this. The explosive power of those shells made Zheng Yichen feel rather numb. Without the protection and cushioning of the battle suit, the impact alone would have been lethal.

This was the Boundary Breakers’ last line of defense. Heavy artillery had terrible mobility and could only fight from fixed positions.

They bombarded Zheng Yichen in this way because no matter what, he couldn’t avoid the bombardment from the heavy artillery in the place he was heading to next.

"Something’s off. How can the battle suits stolen by the Proxy Agents still function? It’s impossible for the energy to last that long in battle." A Boundary Breaker, looking at the mist that was temporarily dispersed by the bombardment in the distance, was puzzled. The battle suits had been nearly destroyed before, and no one dared to use the remaining ones.

But judging from the remaining energy of the battle suit, it could be certain that the energy remaining in the battle suit Zheng Yichen had taken was at worst no more than ten percent. By such estimation of consumption, Zheng Yichen’s battle suit should have become an iron shell by now, due to insufficient energy.

"Is there a possibility, just a possibility, that his battle suit ran out of power a long time ago, and now he’s moving it with physical strength?" A Boundary Breaker suggested a possibility.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With everyone being human in this environment, how could he possibly move the battle suit with manpower?" The weight of these steel battle suits exceeded 200 kilograms. How could Zheng Yichen possibly move this thing with human strength?

Even if he could move it temporarily, he couldn’t maintain this level of agility. The current environmental conditions are so poor, no one here can just shrug their shoulders and throw out a ton or two of force.

"Then it means he found a way to charge the battle suit, and that’s even worse!"

Indeed worse, the ability to charge the battle suit meant they were facing an opponent in a battle suit at full capacity. Heavy cannons can’t grow legs and run; their agility is also poor. Right now, with the distance giving them suppressive firepower, if Zheng Yichen managed to flank them, every one of them would be cut down.

"Mador, Proxy Agents always make one so envious; they can exert such strong combat power even in this broken environment... Thankfully, we were well-prepared. After the last two assaults, if we can’t kill this Proxy Agent, we’ll retreat!" a Boundary Breaker cursed resentfully.

In the two days they did not harass Zheng Yichen, besides using external forces to bring in plenty of heavy artillery, they had also made contact with their superiors.

This was their current limit.

The native powerhouses from the outside world were furiously purging traitors, and the situation outside had already become very chaotic. The appearance of the celestial dome temporarily reduced the influence of the Three Glory on the world, allowing those from the outside world a respite. However, the aftereffects soon resurfaced.

Many ordinary people had begun to go insane; even those who kept their doors shut were still affected by the heat and other factors, causing some with low tolerance to mutate. If this was the state of humanity, much less the creatures—order was on the brink of complete collapse, making it extremely difficult for them to get weapons.

Then there was the response from the superiors: the Great World placed high importance on this place, but they did not have overly strict demands to eliminate the Proxy Agent. Without top-tier powerhouses to fight the Proxy Agent, any effort would be in vain. In this moving anomaly, could the Great World possibly arrange for a top-tier powerhouse to come over?

Wishful thinking.

Such an environment was too fair. It was so fair that the top-tier powerhouses from the Great World wouldn’t want to come even if they had the chance; arriving here in the state of an ordinary person, unable to utilize spells to their full potential, having to rely on physical skills to fight the Proxy Agent?

Coming over in such a manner risked giving away for free. As for other weapons of mass destruction or equipment, they too desired to carry those, but it wasn’t easy. When they arrived in a different world, they came lightly equipped.

The more exotic items they carried, the higher the risk of exposure, especially items that did not belong to this world. They arrived in this world not through anomalies but through the Great World’s unique smuggling methods. Since it was smuggling, how could they come over in fanfare?

If they were so ostentatious, the Dusk would have detected them upon arrival and arranged some Dusk hunters to face them head-on in the initial stages.

Even the battle suits that are in use now were sent in after the Dusk mercenaries arrived here. However, bringing in these equipment was not easy. The higher the quality of the technological weapons and equipment, the harder it was to smuggle them. Such items greatly disrupted the smuggling process and led to failure.

In contrast, native powerhouses strong enough to tear Gundams apart with their bare hands did not suffer from this problem.

The reason was already researched: the more advanced the technology of equipment, the higher its quality. This quality was not solely in the material quality but also in energy performance. Pure technological equipment wouldn’t suffer much from Environmental Adjustment, which would cause the smuggling of high-quality technological equipment to fail due to its excellence.

Native powerhouses wouldn’t encounter such issues—they were living beings affected by Environmental Adjustment and could avoid failures in the smuggling process.

Mostly, it was due to the power of those smuggled being too strong, leading to Dusk discovering them upon arrival.

For the Boundary Breakers to come up with powerful technological weapons at the beginning, the best way was to bring blueprints. Once they had the blueprints, they could just produce them locally. However, this required the local world to have sufficient technological capabilities to support their production, and they had to be cautious not to let the natives detect anything...

The battle suits they had smuggled over were already the limit, and the batteries in the battle suits had been adjusted. They didn’t have that high technological quality, otherwise, these couldn’t have been smuggled successfully.

Weapons like the ones they were using now were all acquired locally.

If their superiors couldn’t arrange for someone very capable to come over, and they couldn’t stop the Proxy Agent on their own, then what else could they do? They would attempt to probe the Proxy Agent as much as possible and then retreat would be the best strategy. Staying to fight would only lead to more casualties.

The Great World also had considerations: rather than sacrificing forces in vain, it was better to reserve this power and collect more information about the Proxy Agent, update the data about the adversary, and then devise a plan to target and eliminate the Proxy Agent...
