The energy core was still the "Bonfire" reactor, located about five centimeters below the cervical vertebra. After his advancement, both his mechanical affinity and mechanical technology had improved, so he had strengthened the reactor. Moreover, he had set up several hidden slots on the back of the mecha, with lines connecting to the energy core. The slots could embed energy blocks, which would serve as backup energy if the reactor ran out. They also had another function: to additionally increase power, making the combat suit's performance skyrocket, comparable to being overloaded.

The energy blocks were naturally the radiation crystals he had harvested from clearing out the Dark Shadow Viper's nest, refined into [Primary Energy Crystals]. Yi Ye Qing was trying to domesticate them, turning the crystals into a renewable resource, but hadn't succeeded yet. However, the hundreds of pounds of crystals that Han Xiao had stored were enough for his use.

The armor adopted a new alloy he synthesized from [Advanced Materials], called "Aili Steel Alloy," which had defensive performance surpassing Taibo alloy. The control method used the newly acquired [Neural Link]. The helmet was equipped with a module that read neuron signals, embedded in the helmet lining like metal patches, allowing him to control all functions of the mecha with a single thought. The weapon modules were even more technologically innovative, into which he poured the most effort.

The new module he valued most was a large-scale attached component, extending horizontally to a full five or six meters in length!

This was a back-mounted, shoulder-mounted, and arm-mounted mechanical wing, prototyped from the Yunyan Glider. The wing surface was wide, with a circular three-layered propeller with a radius of sixty to seventy centimeters on each side, a rotary turbine engine that could rotate three hundred and sixty degrees!

Electromagnetic roller shoes provided a running start, a small maneuver device sprayed to take off, spreading its wings to glide, providing continuous power.

He had given the new generation combat suit flight capabilities!

What man wouldn't want to be able to fly freely? A man's romance is precisely being buried at sea—呸, it's the sea of stars!

[Judgment successful, you have successfully improved [Light Mecha - Viper · Modified], do you want to give it a new name?]

A flash of inspiration, and a suitable name immediately surfaced in his mind.

[Naming successful, you have obtained the self-created blueprint [Light Mecha - Teng Snake]!]

"My naming ability is indeed not to be trifled with."

Han Xiao was very satisfied. Teng Snake was a flying snake, so it was very relevant.

[Remarks: "Silly, I Can Fly!"]

——

With a body full of purple equipment modules, the attributes of Teng Snake reached the 2.0 standard. Han Xiao put his hands on his hips and admired his work, he was so awesome.

"With Teng Snake and my attributes, no one on Aquamarine Star can threaten me. This mecha can be brought to the interstellar level for use, considered one of my early preparations." Han Xiao had a long-term vision. From a player's perspective, he had DIY-ed a super-powerful divine equipment for the early stage. Wearing this mecha, even a pig could fly. It was a bit of overkill to use it on a novice planet.

For the time being, Teng Snake only locked onto his nerve signals, and only he could control it.

The [Neural Link] advancement knowledge was the basis for manipulating more complex machines. The speed of thought far exceeded ordinary manipulation methods, and if there were injuries or disabilities, [Neural Link] could also be used in implantation technology… Of course, Han Xiao didn't hope for that day to come.

Moreover, in Han Xiao's eyes, [Neural Link] had another key role. It should be known that players entered Galaxy through virtual game pods, and the core principle of game pods was to transfer the player's thoughts.

——Then what would happen if a player's thoughts were transferred to a cloned body of a local NPC?

Would players be trapped in Galaxy like him? Would they still be resurrected after death? If they could be resurrected, would they use the original player's body, or a new body? Or… would there be other phenomena?

From his perspective, he could feel that everything here was real, but he had never let go of his doubts, and had been following the forums, hoping to see if his account from his previous life had appeared, but to no avail.

"What exactly is the principle behind this? Is it a butterfly effect? Did the former 'me' change the account? Hmm, it's not unreasonable. I just created an account casually back then… Or is there another possibility?" Han Xiao's eyes flickered. To be honest, he was a little looking forward to face-to-face communication with the former "himself", which would definitely be a novel feeling.

Couldn't figure it out.

"If I want to understand the truth, I still have to start with the players. Just having [Neural Link] is not enough to create a game pod or thought transfer device. I need more knowledge."

Han Xiao suppressed his doubts in his heart.

The most important thing right now was to grow stronger, the stronger he was, the safer he would be. Before he understood the truth, he didn't want to be killed by someone or some disaster. Every version update was a crisis.
