"Holy shit! Another mech! Can God Qin control two mechs at once?!"
"My God Qin is too awesome! Two mechs, and they're identical!"
"They really are identical. But why is Great God Qin Feng so afraid of Sister Bao'er? He's acting like a thief!"
"Hahaha... Great God Qin Feng, you're killing me! He almost got caught red-handed by Sister Bao'er. He's probably worried she'll take another mech from him."
"Ah, even heroes can't resist a beauty."
The mech fans were focused on the mechs, while the Blue Star Qin Feng Wives' Group had a different perspective.
"Ugh! That brat! Why is she always clinging to my husband?! What he does is none of your business!"
"Exactly! Though... I do want to see just how magnificent my husband is... *blushes.jpg*."
"Pfft... I told you, the Great God Qin Feng Wives' Group is starving! God Qin is safer staying in the National Warfare Arena."
...
Not only were netizens astonished by Qin Feng's new battle armor, but the National Warfare Department was also swamped with work, comparing the two mechs.
"Any results yet?" Li Tai asked his subordinate.
"Report, after a detailed comparison, the two mechs only have minor differences. However, the new mech's weapon systems haven't been displayed yet, so its firepower and defensive capabilities remain unknown.
The mech Qin Feng used when he left should be the upgraded model, while the one Sister Bao'er blocked at the door was the one used to counter the Second Impact."
Li Tai nodded and asked, "Then how can he control two mechs simultaneously?"
Jarvis had no physical body and primarily communicated with people via earpiece.
Almost no one on Blue Star was aware of Jarvis's existence.
"Report, Li Ke. Based on the 14-minute-old live stream playback, Qin Feng's mech should have an autonomous system, or an artificial intelligence assistant."
"Oh? Is that right?"
Li Tai was even more astonished.
He was naturally aware of artificial intelligence, but this was far too advanced.
Even the AI developed by the five major powers could only be called "artificial idiocy."
How did Qin Feng manage to get all this?
"Li Ke, pay close attention!"
The deputy rewound the footage to that morning, showing Qin Feng pushing Sister Bao'er back to her room as they passed Uncle Jiu's door.
Li Tai leaned forward, straining to catch every word.
Then, Jarvis's voice boomed through the speakers.
He confirmed to Uncle Jiu that he was fully capable of locating the Corpse-Nourishing Ground.
This seemingly insignificant remark revealed to the National Warfare Department that Qin Feng had an AI assistant named Jarvis.
"Jarvis? Excellent! It's real!" Li Tai's face lit up with delight.
"Could these things be another reward from the National Warfare Arena?"
Recalling Qin Feng's top performance in both the Trial Rush and the Second Impact, Li Tai reasoned that it made sense for the Arena to reward him with mechanical-related items, his specialty.
Li Tai began to weave a narrative in his mind.
He stood up and paced excitedly. "With an AI assistant and multiple mechs, doesn't that mean our nation has gained another formidable ally?"
Even if Jarvis-controlled mechs only had 50% of Qin Feng's combat power, that would still be an incredible asset!
***
In the National Warfare Arena, Qin Feng turned the tables and asked, "Um, Sister Bao'er, is there something you need?"
Sister Bao'er smiled sweetly. "I was actually planning to sneak in and borrow your toolbox. I want to fix the dent in Crab Sea's nest."
Park Jung-hwan had punched two craters into the Prototype Machine, and Sister Bao'er had been heartbroken ever since.
Qin Feng's heart tightened.
*My dear sister, can you please stop barging into other people's rooms?!*
*If Jarvis hadn't suggested it, the idle Mark 3 might have been exposed!*
"Oh, I see. The toolbox is inside. Help yourself."
"Oh, yes, yes! You carry on with your work. I'll do it myself!"
With that, Qin Feng bid her farewell and had Jarvis fly the Mark 3 to the west.
"Phew... That was close!"
In the northern sky, Qin Feng let out a long sigh.
The two mechs split up. Qin Feng personally headed north to explore, while Jarvis piloted the Mark 3 westward.
In the previous map, Qin Feng had explored the north and south, and Sister Bao'er had mapped the east.
Only the west remained unvisited, which Qin Feng found regrettable.
So this time, he prioritized exploring the west.
On the National Warfare Arena map, two straight lines extended simultaneously.
The explored area grew larger and larger, yet remained barren.
Nothing but yellow sand stretched to the horizon, not even a single monster in sight.
After nearly twenty more minutes, Jarvis finally delivered good news.
"Sir, Mark 3 has detected a Corpse-Nourishing Ground."
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Feng hovered in mid-air.
"Yes, sir. It's a 100% match with the Corpse-Nourishing Ground Uncle Jiu previously found."
While other Corpse-Nourishing Grounds had been detected along the two routes, none could compare to the one Uncle Jiu had sought out in terms of the quality of its acupoints.
After all, the site he had found was not only a Yin-Yang Death Ground, but also had Ghost-Carried Palanquins on both sides to lock down the malevolent energy.
Yin and Yang in front, Ghost-Carried Palanquins on the sides.
Such a treasure trove of energy was the ideal location for nurturing corpses.
Jarvis, eager to prove his worth, would naturally not settle for a site inferior to Uncle Jiu's.
"Excellent. I'll head there now. You continue scanning the vicinity for any threats."
With that, Qin Feng accelerated southwest.
"Understood, sir."
After marking the Corpse-Nourishing Ground's coordinates, Mark 3 began patrolling the area.
If any wild monsters appeared, Qin Feng would clear them out for Uncle Jiu.
After all, Uncle Jiu needed a safe environment to "top up" his ten subordinates.
"Uncle Jiu, there's an excellent Corpse-Nourishing Ground about 10 kilometers west of the border. You can bring them over."
On the way, Qin Feng sent the location to Uncle Jiu via the National War Chat.
Uncle Jiu was overjoyed. "Really? Ah, Brother Qin, you're so efficient! I didn't expect you to find it in less than an hour!"
Qin Feng felt embarrassed.
He didn't deserve such praise.
Without Jarvis and the mech, even if a Corpse-Nourishing Treasure Site were right in front of him, he wouldn't recognize it.
However, when it came to finding treasure sites, both Jarvis and Uncle Jiu had their strengths. Jarvis was faster but could only find places as good as Uncle Jiu's. Uncle Jiu, on the other hand, might even discover a more extraordinary treasure site.
After Uncle Jiu finished preparing light-blocking measures for his subordinates, the Soul-Suppressing Bell rang. The eleven figures formed a neat single-file line and set off.
Qin Feng sped ahead, the dense fog gradually thinning until it completely dissipated. Soon, he approached the marked coordinates.
Just then, a figure flashed across the ground.
Jarvis also reminded him, "Sir, you just flew past a humanoid creature."
Qin Feng performed a drift turn in mid-air. "Let's go back and check it out!"
In the time it took him to speak, Jarvis added, "Scan complete. Human physiological characteristics detected."
Qin Feng flew a few hundred meters further, closing the distance.
He looked down at the trembling figure below and examined it carefully.
