"Huh?"
Upon hearing Gwen say that 'she wasn't the only one who stumbled into this World,' Luca immediately became alert.
However, after asking, he finally understood.
The 'other one' Gwen spoke of wasn't a person, but…
"The Spider Jaeger!"
At this moment, in the middle of the night, Luca once again had Samira drive him and Gwen back to New York.
There was no other way. Hearing Gwen say that a high-tech Jaeger manufactured in 3145 had also stumbled into this parallel dimension with her, and that this Jaeger was merely hidden by Gwen in an abandoned sewer, Luca couldn't sit still.
He forcefully took the injured Gwen out, found the hiding place of the Jaeger she spoke of.
'It really is Peni Parker's Spider Jaeger!'
Indeed, after Gwen finished speaking earlier, Luca already knew.
The Jaeger Gwen spoke of was the ride of another Spider-Man who had traveled with her to that parallel dimension—a 'high-tech Spider-Man' from the future World who piloted a Jaeger, Peni Parker.
However, due to severe damage to the Jaeger, Peni Parker only took the mutated spider from its core when she left that World.
As a result, by a stroke of luck, this Jaeger actually traveled to this World with Gwen.
And the reason Gwen, despite her severe injuries, had gone to 'rob' that homeless man earlier was precisely because he had 'accidentally picked up' the equipment parts Gwen had removed from this Jaeger.
Looking at this classic Spider-Man red and blue colored Jaeger in front of him, although it was completely destroyed, with a large hole broken in its cockpit and two of its original four 'spider legs' missing, its very essence was still from the future technology of 3145.
Even as a wreck, it still possessed extremely significant research value.
"This is the Jaeger I was talking about. Although it can no longer be activated, it stores the data for activating and controlling the particle collider. We were able to return by relying on the control USB drive Peni made."
Speaking of this, Gwen paused slightly.
After all, it didn't seem like she had returned to her original World.
Thinking of these things, Gwen felt that even the precious USB drive in her hand didn't seem that important anymore.
However, Luca didn't have time to bother with the girl's little thoughts at this moment.
Because, it wasn't until he saw this Jaeger that Luca discovered that it also emitted the faint White light exclusive to 'core components'!
'Sure enough, items related to these plot characters are more likely to become core components!'
Reaching out to press the broken 'Spider Jaeger' in front of him, the light blue Golden Finger panel immediately appeared.
[Boxer Jaeger]
[Pacific Rim World 1/5]
[Manufacturer: Amara Namani]
[Core Component: SP//dr Spider Jaeger]
[Synthesis Materials: 1 excavator bucket, 10 smoke grenades, 276 tons of metal scrap]
[Item Description: In the Pacific Rim World, a miniaturized product of the Jaeger. A DIY Jaeger assembled by a genius in a junkyard using scrap metal and Jaeger wreckage. It is 12.07 meters tall and weighs 276 tons. The body adopts a single-person neural control system, equipped with a spherical gyroscopic balance chamber. The energy core consists of two large abandoned Jaeger ion batteries. It has strong self-propulsion and flexible movement, and also possesses the ability to transform into a sphere for rapid movement, making it a model among small and medium-sized Jaegers.]
[Friendly Reminder: Since many parts of it use mechanical components specifically for hundred-meter-class Jaegers, this medium-sized Jaeger's overall basic qualities are excellent, making it a very suitable item for modification and upgrading on its existing foundation~]
Quickly scanning through all the descriptions on the Golden Finger panel in front of him, Luca's eyes changed from the joy of getting a new item to astonishment.
'What? 276 tons? 12.07 meters?'
Looking at the panel description, and then at this 'little guy' less than 2 meters tall in front of him, Luca felt that his Golden Finger seemed to be getting more and more chaotic.
Although both types of Jaegers are operated similarly by neural induction, and both are quite round, beyond that, Luca couldn't find any other similarities for a moment.
'Moreover, even if this Boxer Jaeger is bigger, can its technological content really compare to the Spider Jaeger?'
Of course, no matter what, at least Luca was still satisfied with this new item.
And before synthesizing the [Boxer Jaeger], the wreckage of this 'Spider Jaeger' in front of him wasn't entirely useless.
Having Harro and White activate their 'combination skill' again might allow them to analyze some useful technologies.
More importantly, this time's 'Friendly Reminder' actually proactively mentioned 'modification'.
Thinking of this, Luca looked at the [Transformation Watch] on his hand.
The 'Friendly Reminder' before this item's synthesis mentioned 'a surprise after synthesis,' but Luca hadn't seen where the surprise was.
'I wonder if this mention of modification is guiding me to something?'
A Jaeger of several meters in height immediately reminded Luca of the Gundams stored in Harro's database.
'Could it be telling me to modify it into a Boxer Gundam?'
Fortunately, the synthesis materials this time were still not difficult to obtain, so Luca planned to synthesize it as soon as he had time.
"Don't just stand there, come and give me a hand, help me load this thing onto the car."
Saying that, Luca called out to Gwen, who was still in a daze.
Although this visitor from another World indeed had no suitable place to hide things, just carelessly leaving this precious Jaeger in the sewer like this, Luca couldn't help but sigh at her carelessness.
However, just as Luca, a healthy guy, was carrying two 'spider legs' in each hand, and Gwen, a severely injured person, was instead carrying the one-meter-plus Jaeger cockpit, preparing to walk out of the sewer, several beams of high-beam flashlights suddenly appeared from the originally pitch-black end of the sewer.
At the same time, faint footsteps and voices came from a distance.
"It's just ahead, just around the corner. That's where I found these things, but everything else was snatched by that person... Wait! What are you doing! I don't want the reward anymore."
"Bang~"
A crisp gunshot interrupted the speaker's terrified plea for mercy.
At this moment, Luca and Gwen's expressions immediately became serious.
After exchanging glances, the two immediately put down the Jaeger wreckage in their hands.
But before they could make any further moves, the high beams from around the distant corner had already turned.
And now, in this almost straight sewer, there was absolutely no place to hide!
