Nico’s expression relaxed. Without caring about her image, she wiped her sweat with her sleeve. She then closed her eyes and sensed for a while before she staggered towards Ning Shi.
Seeing this, Ning Shi knew that Nico had succeeded. He quickly walked over and supported her.
After coming into contact with Nico, Ning Shi smelled a refreshing fragrance. He had read the information about the muse race before and knew that this was the unique physique of the muse people.
Their sweat glands were different from ordinary people. Once they sweated, they would emit a fragrance.
Nico did not try to avoid suspicion. Ignoring the presence of Teacher Ye Hongmian, she leaned her entire body against Ning Shi. She panted and said to Ning Shi, “Ning, that needle-like object just now is the forbidden core. Actually, the so-called forbidden core is a special mechanical consciousness stream. Under my guidance, this consciousness can attach itself to any machine.
“I’ve already guided the consciousness of the forbidden core into the body of the Longevity Mecha. After the forbidden core has adapted to the Longevity Mecha, 1 can use it to control the Longevity Mecha.”
Ning Shi helped Nico to sit on the sofa in the control room. He poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
After Nico finished drinking the water and her face gradually regained some color, Ning Shi said, “No wonder the teachers of the academy are always by your side, but they couldn’t find anything related to the forbidden core.
“It turns out that the forbidden core was a stream of consciousness.
“Then why did Scarlet Demon, the forbidden mecha, say that the secret of immortality was hidden in the forbidden core?”
Nico paused for a moment and communicated with Teacher Muraka in her mind for a while. Then, she whispered, “You should know that both the forbidden core and the forbidden mecha were created by the genius scientist Muraka.
“In fact, Muraka is my teacher. Although her body was destroyed, her consciousness was still alive. It was all thanks to her teachings that I was able to learn the knowledge and techniques of mecha.”
Ning Shi was not surprised when he heard Nico’s words. Instead, he keenly sensed Nico’s intentions. He asked, “So, you’ve been working hard on the consciousness transfer technology to transfer Muraka’s consciousness to the mecha so that she can have the body of a mecha, right?”
Nico nodded before shaking her head. “Not only do I want to transfer Teacher Muraka’s consciousness into the mecha, but 1 also want to extend her life.
“As a consciousness form, Teacher Muraka also has a limited lifespan. Now that she is about to die, I have to seize the time to break through the consciousness transfer technique.
“I’ll tell you about this in detail later. Let’s talk about the forbidden mecha and forbidden core first.
“Back then, Teacher Muraka had created the forbidden core by chance. Before she could systematically summarize the technology, she was besieged by the major factions.
“For the sake of freedom, the forbidden mecha Scarlet Demon betrayed Teacher Muraka and escaped alone in the chaos.
“In desperation, Teacher Muraka started a stream-of-consciousness experiment that she had never conducted before. The experiment failed without any surprises and caused a big explosion in the laboratory.
“Miraculously, Teacher Muraka’s consciousness survived the explosion and was attached to a smart wristwatch with an anti-explosion function.”
Ning Shi subconsciously looked at the watch on Nico’s right wrist. This watch did not look old at all. The materials technology of the Titanium Pole World was extremely advanced. Many metal materials were as bright as new after thousands of years of use.
Others could not tell the age of certain products from their appearance.
Nico continued, “About eleven years ago, I was isolated by my companions in the orphanage. 1 had no friends. In order to relieve my loneliness, I liked to go to the back of the mountain near the orphanage to look at the small animals.
“I wall always remember that there was a little gray rabbit that was very cute. It was the first friend of my life. It was very clever. 1 fed it grass and it played with me.
“I named it Lingling.
“One afternoon, the weather was great. The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing. Lingling and I were happily playing at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, a hunting dog barked at the back door of the orphanage. Lingling was frightened and ran around like crazy.
“It accidentally ran under a big tree and died…
“I was very sad. I hugged Lingling’s body and cried for a long time. In the end, I had to accept the fact that Lingling was dead. 1 planned to bury it under a tree.
“To prevent Lingling’s body from being eaten by the wild beasts, I dug a very deep hole. When the hole was dug, I accidentally saw this smart wristwatch in the soil, as well as a thin needle-like object attached to it.”
Nico raised her right hand and told Ning Shi without hesitation that the watch she picked up was the one on her hand.
Now, Nico’s character intimacy had reached 96 points after Ning Shi helped her build a mecha. Nico had 100% trust in Ning Shi and did not hold back in her words.
Hearing Nico describe her fortuitous encounter, Ning Shi could only sigh at the fact that Nico was indeed a hotshot and was blessed by fate.
She could casually dig a hole under a big tree and obtain a wristwatch with the consciousness of a genius mecha teacher, as well as the forbidden core attached to the wristwatch.
Nico smiled and said, “I’m sorry. 1 digressed a little. Whenever 1 talk about Teacher Muraka, 1 can’t help but think of the little grey rabbit Lingling.
“In fact, the reason why Scarlet Demon spread the news that the forbidden core could grant longevity was mainly to divert everyone’s attention..”
