Chapter 5

"Terminators! Awesome! Three Terminators as my bodyguards, this kind of treatment, even the leaders of various countries on Earth can't match it!" Yang Feng looked at the three humanoid robots in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Terminator bodyguards, this is a man's romance!"

In front of Yang Feng stood three humanoid robots, each with a cold expression, wearing black sunglasses and black capes, tall and extremely cool. The Blade Soldier had two ultra-alloy war knives on his back, the Gunner carried a 12.5 mm heavy machine gun, and the Artilleryman had a 120 mm heavy cannon barrel on his back.

These three humanoid robots had enormous scientific value. If they were sold on Earth, each one would likely fetch over 100 million RMB. Selling just one of them would ensure Yang Feng a life without worries.

Number 3796 reminded him, "Master, such a design greatly reduces their combat capabilities. Human form is not the best combat form. If they were designed as spider-like or other beast forms, their combat power could increase by at least 20%, and up to 120%!"

The Blade Soldier originally had a beast form with eight blade arms, but Yang Feng simplified it to a humanoid form, significantly reducing its combat power.

Yang Feng smiled slightly and explained, "If we talk about combat power, the beast form might be much stronger than the human form. But this is human society! These humanoid robots are much more convenient than those beast-form robots."

Number 3796 replied, "Understood!"

Yang Feng said, "By the way, help me deduce when I can reach the Grand Knight level if I cultivate the Thunder Bull Technique."

"Understood! Deduction begins! Modeling analysis! This deduction will consume 0.1 Kun of energy! Formal deduction begins!" Red light flashed in Number 3796's eyes as it began the deduction using its supercomputing ability.

After 20 seconds.

"Deduction complete. Based on your current situation, if you cultivate using the optimal method I have designed, you can advance to the初级战士 (初级 means '初级' and '战士' means 'warrior', so '初级战士' means '初级 warrior', which can be translated as '初级 Warrior' or '初级 Fighter'. I will use '初级 Fighter' here) level in two years, to the中级 Fighter level in five years, and to the高级 Fighter level in ten years. However, you cannot break through to the Knight level, let alone the Grand Knight level."

Yang Feng felt extremely incredulous and said, "How is this possible? The Thunder Bull Technique can clearly be cultivated to the Grand Knight level! After your optimization, why can't I even become a Knight?"

"There are two reasons. The first reason is that you have missed the best age for cultivation. According to analysis, the best age for cultivating this technique is from 9 to 16 years old. The second reason is that your cultivation potential is the worst of the worst, a super-waste, and is completely incompatible with the Thunder Bull Technique. Without external assistance, you cannot break through to become a Knight-level cultivator," Number 3796 said mercilessly.

"Super-waste!" Yang Feng was speechless. He never thought his cultivation potential would be so poor.

Number 3796 consoled him, "However, Master, you don't need to feel too inferior. In fact, after thousands of years of degeneration, Earthlings are basically all super-wastes in cultivation. You are not a unique case."

Yang Feng was speechless but felt a bit better.

Yang Feng asked, "Is there any solution? Has the Dawn Clan not collected any cultivation techniques?"

"Using the Star River Golden Flower, Solar True Water, Purple Crystal Rainbow Fruit, and Star Domain Fetal Membrane, you can easily leap to become a 10th-level powerhouse. A mere Knight can be easily dispatched, and your cultivation potential can be fully enhanced. As for the Dawn Clan, they have basically not collected any cultivation techniques because they are already soul entities, completely integrated with us robots, immortal and undying. As long as one of their robots does not perish, they will not truly die."

"Master, if you want to be immortal, you can merge with me! From then on, as long as a robot with your soul imprint exists, you will be immortal and omnipresent!" Red light flashed in Number 3796's eyes as it persuaded him.

Yang Feng laughed and said, "Ha ha, let's talk about it later! I don't plan to become a robot for now."

Having finally obtained Number 3796 as a golden leg, Yang Feng had not yet enjoyed the benefits and was unwilling to become a robot. At least, he was not willing to become a robot until he was forced into a desperate situation.

A bad premonition welled up in Yang Feng's heart, and he asked directly, "Can you synthesize the Star River Golden Flower, Solar True Water, Purple Crystal Rainbow Fruit, and Star Domain Fetal Membrane?"

"Only after building a Level 7 mobile fortress base can they be synthesized!"

"Level 7 mobile fortress base!" Yang Feng was speechless.

The materials required for each level of the mobile fortress base increase exponentially, and the preciousness of the materials also increases exponentially. Many materials Yang Feng had never even heard of. It was unknown when the Level 7 mobile fortress base would be built.

Yang Feng said, "Let's take it step by step! First, make me a Level 5 liquid metal robot. Try to reduce the weight as much as possible, and thicken the armor after transformation. It will mainly be used to protect me!"

"Understood! A Level 5 liquid metal robot requires 20 Kun of energy! Should I prioritize manufacturing the simplified Blade Soldier or the Level 5 liquid metal robot?"

"Liquid metal robot!"

"Understood!"

Outside the Maple Leaf Town, vast fertile black soil spread out.

Many dark-skinned farmers worked diligently like ants under the sun.

Golden rice swayed in the wind, forming a beautiful landscape.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from the distance. The farmers working in the fields looked up and saw a group of fully armed cavalrymen in black capes charging towards them.

"Black Wind Bandits! They are the Black Wind Bandits!!"

"Black Wind Bandits!!"

"..."

Terrified voices echoed in the area, and the farmers, with fear in their eyes, dropped everything and fled in all directions.

The cavalrymen, with sinister smiles on their faces, charged towards Maple Leaf Town like arrows released from a bow.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The loud alarm sounded throughout Maple Leaf Town, and all the townspeople, terrified, hid in their homes, grabbing their weapons and trembling.

"Close the gate! Close the city gate immediately! You fools, hurry up! For your own lives, close the gate quickly!" A pale-faced officer near the Maple Leaf Castle gate commanded the soldiers to close the castle gate.

Under the officer's angry scolding, the castle gate finally closed slowly.

"Master, it's bad! The Black Wind Bandits are coming! The Black Wind Bandits are coming!!" Liu Butler, pale-faced and terrified, burst into the castle garden and shouted to Yang Feng.
