Chapter 129: Eating Sc.r.a.p Metal


-----


After everyone went to sleep on the second floor, where I gave everyone some leather beds and put them on the chimney so they could sleep more comfortably, I decided to a.s.sess what I got.


A pile of sc.r.a.p metal and all types of mechanical pieces… and a large mana core battery shattered into pieces.


Oh right, there are also the small drones I got… those also had small mana cores on them.


I decided to eat all the mana cores. The big one was the tastiest, and it granted a nice amount of stats.



Now, what do I do with the sc.r.a.p metal? I just ate the mana cores, and I didn"t get any skills like [Living Mechanical Body], [Gamma Blade], or anything, so I don"t think I will get any of such things from eating these robots either.


But why not give them a try? They seem to be made of magic metals even rarer than what I found with Mining. Oh right, when I mined days ago, I got a pile of metals, although I have not been using them because it is frankly easier to use Icesmith to make weapons and armor…


I have eaten a few of these metals, but they are not tasty, nor they gave me anything. Well, I guess like any other cultivation material.


But maybe it could be different this time?


Hmm… Well, I will eat three drones and an entire arm of the big one, how about that? Maybe if I ever find a Technomancer, he could build me a mech or something… Is there another Technomancer? I hope so… Wait, no, I don"t hope so. I don"t want to fight with overpowered mechs again.


Anyways, I started munching.


It was very hard to eat.


Ugh.


But I continued to devour it all and swallowed it for some time… Uegh.


After around an hour, I finished.



And nothing!


Okay, this was a total waste of time-


Ding!



[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]


[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]


[Mithril Ore Sh.e.l.l: Level 1]


[Photon Bullet: Level 1]



What?


So I got something?! Not what I had imagined though, I didn"t instantly become a robot or something… But this is way more than I thought I would get, which was just nothing.


This is… Also very strange, is this the first time I am getting element-based skills that are not of ice and wind?


[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]


Manipulate the magnetic energies around your body to a lesser extent. Can be improved through the use of Gravity Magic, a branch of Spatial Magic.



So this one is related to s.p.a.ce Attribute! Well, it is not as if I suddenly gained s.p.a.ce magic though, it is limited to a certain use.


[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]


Rearrange your metallic parts for greater efficiency when moving or fighting.



Eh? This one is definitely for a robot, it shouldn"t work for me, right?


I quickly tried to use it, and discovered that I was able to somewhat rearrange my own metallic scales, even to the point of forming something like a shield if I concentrated many in a certain area… maybe this plus the previous skill could let me launch my own scales as an attack.


[Mithril Ore Sh.e.l.l: Level 1]


Spend mana to generate a sh.e.l.l of mithril ore, an ore with high magical properties, both resistant to magic and also capable of conducting it with ease, while also being very resilient.



This one… I tried it and it generated a new layer of protective sh.e.l.l-like scales around any part of my body that I wanted. Perhaps the robots were made of this material the most. Oh, and when I detach them, they stay… Meaning that I could use this to craft stuff?


[Photon Bullet: Level 1]


Concentrate your mana into a bullet of light and fire it at your foe to deal magic-based damage.



As simple as that with this, I can fire a Light Bullet… Is this Light Attribute Magic? Not really… it is limited to a bullet! Like the ones, the mech fired at me, which were able to bend my scales.


But with this I get more variety I suppose… Interesting. It would be nice if I could find something big and strong to test my new skills, but there"s nothing like that around.


I wonder… System can I learn every single elemental magic?



So I can"t get full-fledged magic?



Hm… I guess I will have to discover it by myself. Although if I were to just get all elements, it would lose the "ice dragon" vibe to it, right?


Maybe it won"t be as easy as I think, or perhaps it will be, but Ice Magic will still be my best one?


Or perhaps it will merely complement it…


Do I have any other element affinity?




So the system is like an artifact in a way?




Huh…


For now, I suppose I should rest a bit- wait.


As I ate the last piece of mana core battery left, I suddenly felt like my Mana resonated with power. The mana within changed quality and so did my entire body…


I think I ranked up? No, staged up, I guess…


Ding!





Now, what should I evolve into?


System, show me the evolution options.
