The Tool Dog Modification Project

Chapter 41 The Tool Dog Modification Project

Looking at the two expectant faces, Bai Qi said, "Alpha's evolution and modification have nothing to do with each other. Besides, I only added some simple mechanical protective gear to Alpha back then."

"If you really enjoy modifying things, I suggest you consider a mechanical type for your next pet."

Bai Qi did not deceive the two. After the husky and the mechanical components were fused, Bai Qi also tried to fuse Alpha in a similar way, but in the end, it all came to nothing.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's refusal, Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan were immediately disappointed, and after hearing Bai Qi's second sentence, they gave up completely.

Because of the existence of the Star Machinery Academy, there are quite a few mechanical beast tamers in Gusu City, but compared to other systems, they are still relatively few.

After all, mechanical beast tamers have a much greater need for knowledge than other systems.

Both of them applied for combat majors, and now it's too late to ask them to study mechanics, even if they wanted to.

"Sorry I couldn't be of any help."

Seeing their disappointed looks, Bai Qi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, it's our own problem."

Gao Cheng sighed, a sharp glint suddenly appearing in his eyes. He said, "Beast taming is a process in which humans and their beasts grow together. I actually tried to slack off by using external forces before, no wonder I could never pass the professional assessment."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng grasped Bai Qi's hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much, Bai Qi. If it weren't for you, I would still be thinking about how to take shortcuts."

Um, why do I suddenly feel a little ashamed?

Looking at Gao Cheng, who had suddenly transformed into a paragon of righteousness, Bai Qi felt inexplicably guilty. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Hehe... I believe in you, Brother Gao."

Gao Cheng nodded and said, "By the way, do you still remember Xia Xuan?"

Bai Qi nodded. He would never forget the first enemy that Alpha had seriously dealt with since its debut.

"Ever since you defeated me last time, I've heard from Han Wei that Xia Xuan has started to frantically modify his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Beast, and even found several high-level mechanical beast tamers to do some kind of modularization and system modification."

"Your training methods are, well, quite unique, but you should still be careful if you want to defeat Xia Xuan again."

A hint of worry flashed across Gao Cheng's face.

Although Bai Qi's instant kill of Xia Xuan that day was quite amazing, Gao Cheng later recalled it and noticed some clues.

Bai Qi's Alpha was unparalleled in speed, while Xia Xuan's MetalGreymon, although powerful, was noticeably sluggish compared to Alpha. At such close range, it was expected that it would be defeated.

However, the biggest advantage of the mechanical system is that it can be freely modified within the range of the Beastmaster's capacity. Once Xia Xuan has adjusted it, he will definitely come back to challenge Bai Qi again.

"Modular hierarchical management system?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Upon hearing Gao Cheng's words, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered something I haven't done yet, so I won't keep you any longer."

"Okay, then we'll be going now."

Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan left Bai Qi's house somewhat bewildered, looking at each other as they listened to the howling of the husky in the yard.

"Is this... dog abuse?"

"It shouldn't be..."

"So what do we do now?"

"Want to go to training together?"

"Walk!"

……

Huh?

(Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?)

The husky slowly woke up and unconsciously asked itself three profound questions.

"Species: Arctic Ice Wolf; Location: Chungbu Ward, Kosaku City; Event: Sleeping."

Meow!

A cold system voice suddenly rang in the husky's ears, startling it awake. Upon seeing the machinery covering half of its body, the husky was so frightened that it meowed loudly.

"Hmm? Could it be that the connection to the AI ​​damaged the nerves? That shouldn't be the case, I didn't install the AI ​​inside."

Seeing the husky in this state, Bai Qi hugged it with some concern and examined it carefully.

Originally, mechanical prosthetics contained a simple system that could memorize the host's usual behavior and then perform corresponding actions.

This technology isn't high-end; it can barely be applied to things like mechanical prosthetics. Although huskies have gradually fused with their prosthetics due to the Evolutionary Egg and can directly control them, they're limited to things like tightening screws. For more complex operations, they can only rely on time to accumulate experience.

However, Bai Qi immediately understood after hearing Gao Cheng mention the modular hierarchical management system.

Since the Evolutionary Egg can connect the biological nerves and mechanical circuits of a husky, why not just connect it directly to a smart brain?

The biological brain issues commands, and the mechanical intelligent brain performs the specific operations.

In a sense, isn't this also a modular hierarchical management system?

To this end, Bai Qi directly replaced the simple system inside the mechanical prosthetic with an AI specifically designed for mechanical pets. Furthermore, in order not to waste the computing power of this AI, which was worth 800 million Federal Coins, Bai Qi also expanded the husky's mechanical prosthetic into a half-body mecha.

In a sense, the only difference between a husky and a mechanical pet is the lack of a spirit awakening process.

However, judging from the AI's performance just now, after the fusion with the Evolution Egg, the AI ​​has successfully connected with the husky's biological brain, but it seems that the husky's brain is broken.

Bai Qi carefully examined the husky from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.

Wang Wang Wang!

(This dog seems to have gotten stronger again!)

As an anomaly that has been wearing prosthetics since it was a puppy, the husky quickly adapted to its new look and gradually showed great curiosity.

Welding, wrench, chainsaw...

Various tools kept popping out from all over the husky's body under its control, and the husky gradually shifted its attention to other things.

For example, the steel human body pile 1.0

A strange light flashed in the husky's eyes, and then it took off running towards the Steel Man Pole 1.0, its various tools constantly shaking, fully demonstrating its intentions.

"I thought installing a smart device would make him more normal, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Seeing the husky's state, Bai Qi helplessly pressed the remote control in his hand, and a strong electric current instantly flowed through the husky's entire body.

Awoo~

(That damn electric current again, I'll take it apart sooner or later!)

The husky exhaled a puff of black smoke and collapsed to the ground unwillingly, but its eyes still gleamed with resentment.

Bai Qi walked up to the husky and then wrapped it up with the Black Iron Egg.

The AI ​​and the husky have successfully integrated initially. The next step is to gradually increase the degree of integration. Once the AI ​​and the husky are fully integrated, things should start to look more normal.

Once he reaches the second-tier contract with the husky, he can raise the husky's level and increase its energy value before considering equipping it with offensive weapons.

As for now, I'll just play the role of a tool dog for now.
