The Geared Immortal

Chapter 436

/*unedited*/

Susan Tang and Baby Lin Hao are signing a contract in front of the press. It was a huge press conference and many were excited to have the contract especially the agency where Baby Lin works at. Being a model of the fastest growing and technologically advanced company would surely boost her image.

And in that signing, many onlookers ogled the black package that was given to her.

She is going to be the star for the advertisement of Tinypixu. So the company gave her the product right in front of the press. Many who saw the press conference once again look at their screen in envy. They just can't wait for the SLIA figures to come out in the market.

…

While this is happening, Shin Jiao has begun upgrading the Mech Frames. He decided to use energy cores replicas of the black orb power source.

He was the one who discovered the use of the black orb which fell to the earth a few years ago. And before he was transported to the cultivation land in Gaeus Ro planet, he has broken the rune code and distributed it online for free.

However, even after doing that many still can't use the rune codes as efficiently as him. However, there are also those who have already grasped the basics and have now able to understand some of its commands.

As he went through his day, Park Jiyong suddenly approached him.

"Shin… Umm… I… I have something… I mean I want to request something."

"Hmm?" Shin Jiao hummed as he raised his sight towards the young man with an awkward expression beside him.

"I… can I come with you?" Park Jiyong asked a bit hopeful.

Shin Jiao return his gaze to his work and shook his head.

"It's too dangerous Jiyong. You can't possibly think to survive in that place as a normal human, right?" Shin Jiao said while typing on his computer.

"I… I know… it's just… it's just that… I actually think I can make an armor that can protect me in there." He said with confidence.

"Gears? Haha… the materials here are not strong enough for that place."

"Yes… I know… but… what if I can make a… a self-repairing armor or gear. That would be something right?"

When Shin Jiao heard Park Jiyong's words he was a bit skeptical but thought for a while.

"Do you have a blueprint?" he asked seriously.

When Shin Jiao asked this, Park Jiyong excitedly took out a bunch of notes and handed them to Shin Jiao.

To his astonishment, the young man actually had a feasible way of making a self-repairing armor. He fashioned it just like the human body. Park Jiyong has planned to make something like a bone marrow that would produce tiny spider bots. Depending on what material one would absorb using the material of the gear converting and absorbing mechanism, they can create the tiny microbots.

As Shin Jiao studied the plans that Park Jiyong presented he smiled.

"You are a genius. With this, it is feasible for someone to obtain material and increase the sturdiness of the armor. This is like magic augmentation but in science terms. Haha…"

"Alright, I would agree with the plan, but… what would you do with your relationship with Marie? Don't tell me, you're going to leave her here…"

When Shin Jiao asked this Park Jiyong was a bit taken aback. He has not thought about this as he was too excited to go to another planet. With a dejected look on his face, he frowns and slumped to his own swiveling chair.

"Hey, it's not the end of the world… alright. You try to finish this project first when we return I'll see if the two of you can come with us the next trip." Shin Jiao promised.

When Park Jiyong heard this life seem to have flowed all over his body and his expression lighten up.

The two worked until evening and left the underground workshop along with Shi Anne Li and Duan Ying.

That night, Shin Jiao sat on the rooftop of the building and after gathering his thoughts he closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He needs to strengthen and widen his meridians for the upcoming advancement of his cultivation.

Unlike normal cultivators, Shin Jiao just needs to strengthen his body and meridians to be able to absorb the rich amount of Qi and mana to advance. But the drawback of this is his body limit. So if he wanted to advance to 60 spheres, he needs to strengthen his dantian and meridian.

Though he has been doing this every night, it is not enough for him to grow rapidly. So tonight he decided to advance further in his cultivation.

"Entering the right would be the best choice for this." He muttered as he took out his phone.

"Susan, honey… I'll be out for a while, okay. I need to do something."

'Umm… okay. You're not sleeping here?'

"Nah, I need to get some things ready before our trip."

'Okay, just be careful… Love you.'

"I love you, too…"

As he hangs up a smile appear on his face and his figure suddenly vanished. Then the ring fell to the tiled seat and then to the patch of ground with plants. The ring then mysteriously moved and buried itself under the dirt.

After doing that with his consciousness, Shin Jiao gave out a satisfied smirk. It has been long since he returned to this place and everything seems to be gray and dull as usual. He can expand his consciousness in this world and cover it all in an instant. There he saw a few people in which he imprisoned inside.

The women who infiltrated the company were sent inside his ring. Luckily he has prepared a lot of food in this world for emergency purposes. Hence they were able to survive at least.

He didn't mind them as they were just loitering inside a cell among the others inside. He then flew to a pile of beast cores and spirit stones.

"Let's begin then…." Shin Jiao said with a serious expression.

He sat in a lotus position while floating in the air and began to hungrily suck the Qi and mana in his surroundings. His goal is not to level up, but to enhance his physique and meridians.

As he did so, he was not aware of how long did it take as he basks in the calmness and peaceful feeling of growing his cultivation. The flow of Qi and mana in his body is making it stronger little by little along with the widening of his meridians and vessels. Inside his dantian, he began to form hollow spheres, and also he forcefully formed a sixth sphere container. Although he is unable to form the 60th hollow sphere, the forming of the container is still possible.

He didn't know how much time has flown but he felt his body becoming stronger. Although the sphere inside can be filled if he wanted to, but he didn't want to spend more beast core and spirit stones just for his cultivation. Preparing for the massive absorption is enough for now as this is his goal.

He then stood up and checks the outside world and found that it is morning and many employees as in the mini-park at the roof of the company.

He suddenly heard people talking which piqued his interest.

"Hey, did you hear that the release of the ads for TinyPixu was a success… we are going to ship out the figures today."

"Really! Oh, I can't wait to have my own TinyPixu… SLIA has been really helpful for my work and schedules. If SLIA turns into a flying fairy, ah I can't wait anymore… every time I see my manager walking with that small thing flying behind her I'm always filled with envy."

"Did you hear that we are also going to release the add-ons today too?"

"Really? Yes, tomorrow morning will be the start of the sales… I heard a lot of people are already lining up with some buying tickets just to buy one."

"Well, for me I'm going to buy mine downstairs."

"Yeah, me too…"

When Shin Jiao heard this he was a bit stunned. It just means that he's been inside the ring for almost a week. With this, he didn't want to wait anymore and immediately jumped out of the ring.

When his figure appears, the two women who are talking were startled.

"Sorry, ladies!" he just said and gave them a charming smile.

The two were stunned and just look at him as he ran towards the exit.

The two were just startled and was not surprise anymore. This is because they are aware that their company is producing a lot of out of this world technology. Who knows that the company head engineer was able to invent a teleportation gate or invisibility cloak or something? So they just giggled and shrugged their shoulders and sat back down and began chatting again.

Shin Jiao opened Susan Tang's office and saw that she is talking with Marie and some of the executives of the company.

He didn't disturb them and just took his seat on the side. He didn't takeout his phone as he knew that it is already out of power and just waited patiently for the meeting to end.

After everyone walks out while greeting him, he stood up and eyed the woman sitting on the sofa. Susan Tang had a downcast and wronged expression on her beautiful face.

"I'm sorry… I didn't know it would take that long." Shin Jiao tried to explain.

But Susan just stood and walked to his arms. He hugged her tenderly while caressing her soft hair. The two stayed in that position for a while until Susan recovered her emotion.

Then she lifts her head and gave Shin Jiao a kiss.
