BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75: Old Woman's Robots
"There\'s no need to meditate for hours anymore—we can recover while resting and stay ready for the next battle. And I\'m noticing my meditation has become more effective all of a sudden."
Ram smiled, satisfied with the outcome. "That\'s probably thanks to Ming Yue\'s other ability, Lunar Meditation Boost, which seems to work alongside Spirit Nourisher."
"It increases the effectiveness of meditation by 25%. More testing is needed, but it looks like Spirit Nourisher works as expected, steadily recovering our spiritual power."
He began reflecting on how to measure its full efficiency. Initially, Ram tested it on Su Mu alone, watching as her Spiritual Power recovered.
Then, he expanded the trial to include two people—Liam and Su Mu—carefully observing the rate at which their energy was replenished.
Finally, all three joined in—Sid, Liam, and Su Mu—to compare how well the effect scaled with multiple people.
"Well, the ability works perfectly when used on one person." Ram spoke, after some quiet observation, "But as we add more people, the effect decreases slightly for each individual."
Upon careful observation, he discovered that the rate of spiritual power recovery per minute is not dependent on the recipient but on Ming Yue\'s total spiritual power.
Therefore, if Ming Yue\'s power is elevated to the Bronze level, the amount of spiritual power restored each minute will increase proportionately.
Liam leaned back with Little Black in his hands, still feeling the flow of spiritual energy. "Even with that, it\'s perfect for us. Quick recovery without the downtime—especially for Su Mu. You really burn through spiritual power during those big attacks."
Su Mu nodded in agreement; her expression thoughtful. "It\'ll make a huge difference during missions. We won\'t be so drained after fights, which means we can keep moving without needing hours to recharge."
Ram reclined, considering the extent of Ming Yue\'s capabilities. "Indeed, possessing Spirit Nourisher might give us an edge over other teams, but the question remains: how long can Ming Yue maintain this formation?"
Just as he spoke, Ming Yue, who was close by, heard this and responded through their connection.
"Can you maintain it continuously? And does it require proximity to work, or will it vanish if you move away?" Ram asked, curious.
Ming Yue nodded softly, indicating that as long as she remained within a reasonable distance, the formation could remain active.
Afterward, she returned to where Ling\'er and Groot were waiting, while the subtle glow around them faded slightly.
Lunar Meditation Boost now enhancing the effects of meditation, Ram glanced at Su Mu. "How\'s your recovery feeling now compared to before?"
Su Mu closed her eyes for a moment, focusing on her inner state. "I\'ve already recovered more than usual in the time we\'ve been sitting here."
"It feels like I\'m getting more from my meditation without putting in extra effort."
Ram grinned. "Good to hear. This could shave hours off your recovery time after battles."
Mai, who had been listening quietly while working on the modifications to the robots, looked up.
"We\'re getting stronger and more efficient with every upgrade. Ming Yue\'s ability is going to make a difference, no doubt. We can\'t always afford to rest, and we\'ll still need to push ourselves when it counts."
Liam chuckled. "We get it, boss. But knowing we\'ve got a bit of extra support? That\'s going to make the difference between pushing through and burning out."
The team nodded in agreement. Mai smirked. "True. That said, I should be done with these modifications soon. Once Su Mu\'s fully recharged, we\'ll head out again."
As they rested, Mai focused on the final touches of her work.
After a few more adjustments to the systems, she managed to reactivate the old woman\'s three robots using the mechanical eye, making sure they would respond to her commands.
The humanoid robot, the ape, and the serpent now stood silently by the side of the truck, waiting for their first test.
"Alright," Mai said, standing up and wiping her hands. "The modifications are done. These robots should be fully functional now, but we\'ll need to test them in the field to see how reliable they are."
Sid, who had been quietly observing, glanced over at the robots. "You sure they won\'t turn on us?" he asked, his tone half-joking, but with a hint of concern.
Mai smirked, shaking her head. "I\'ve reprogrammed their control systems."
"They will obey my commands, but I\'ve implemented fail-safes just in case something goes awry."
"We\'ll test them in combat before we depend on them heavily; They are all equipped with advanced combat chips, each showcasing a variety of combat techniques and unique fighting styles, while possessing strength on par with Tier 3 professionals."
Liam, always intrigued by new tech, stood up to get a closer look at the robots. "What kind of firepower are we talking about here?"
Mai pointed at the ape-like robot first. It was massive, towering over them with a bulky, heavily armored frame.
The Ape\'s design was rugged, with a matte black exterior that made it blend into the shadows.
Its large arms and legs were reinforced with thick metal plating, and hydraulic pistons were visible in the joints, making the machine look like a walking fortress.
"The ape is built for heavy close-range combat," Mai explained. Its face, a featureless metal plate with glowing red optics, gave it a menacing, emotionless appearance.
"This one\'s equipped with high-pressure hydraulic releases in its hands and legs, which allow it to deliver incredibly powerful strikes."
"Its flexible joints and shock-absorbing components mean it can move surprisingly fast for its size, despite looking like a tank."
She walked over to the next robot, a sleek humanoid figure at roughly six feet tall.
Its body was made from a lighter alloy, its frame streamlined and agile.
The robot\'s arms ended in clawed hands, and its body was fitted with several small compartments that housed more weapons.
"This one\'s more of an all-rounder. It\'s quick, agile, and adaptable to mid-range combat. It\'s got a range of weapons and uses advanced combat techniques—those claws are made from high-density alloys, giving it serious cutting power."
