The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7406

Chapter 7406: Alexa’s Entry

Alexa Streon still looked a little bewildered.

Ves did not blame her, and neither did Gloriana.

"This is what you deserve." Ves stated as they stood at the top of the mountain. "Since you have come under my employ and tutelage, you have not only met our expectations, but regularly surpassed them. Your work ethic is admirable. Your loyalty to the clan is not in doubt. Your ingenuity and initiative is precious. All of these traits and more have ultimately convinced us that now is the right time to induct you into one of our most sensitive secrets."

The former Terran mech designer felt honored. She knew that she had become privy to the most critical reliance of Ves and the rest of the Larkinson Clan. Now that she had become enlightened to this massive secret, there was no way back for her. She knew without needing any reminders that she could never bear the consequences of betrayal.

Not that she considered such a course of action in the first place. The Golden Cat herself had vouched for Alexa’s loyalty and integrity. Though she still maintained a lot of affection for the Streon Ancient Clan, she was still very clear who she needed to answer first.

The Streons may have shaped her into an adult, but the Larkinsons offered her a much better pathway to the top.

This was particularly the case now that she had truly entered the inner circle of the Larkinson Clan!

"How many others have you brought inside this amazing pocket dimension?" The young woman asked.

"There are currently 4 of us." Ves calmly responded. "Me, my wife and Ketis are your predecessors. To be more specific, I am the only one who has made use of it since the start of my mech designer career. I invited the other two ladies much more recently. Now, you are the fourth to become a user of the Mech Designer System. This is a great privilege. If you make efficient use of its various features, you can not only accelerate your progression by years or decades, but also master rare and unique knowledge that can form the basis of your unique approach to mech design."

Alexa finally possessed a complete understanding of how Ves was able to climb his way up to the most innovative and successful mech designer of his generation.

She already knew that it was practically impossible for a third-class mech designer from the galactic rim of the old galaxy to develop amazing inventions such as companion spirits and the Carmine System without relying on a powerful legacy of sorts!

While it had already become common knowledge that Ves benefited hugely from her infamous mother’s assistance, almost no one had a clear idea of the exact details.

Now Alexa knew. Her gift came in the form of a fragment of the mythical Metal Scroll, which perplexingly had been repackaged into the so-called ’Mech Designer System’!

There had to be a much bigger story behind this System. The Miracle Couple had been remarkably helpful, but they did not explain the full story behind the formation of this amazing relic. Perhaps not even Ves understood the complete origins of the tool that had enabled him to operate at a much higher level than his peers.

Alexa inwardly shook her head. It was not important for her to get to the bottom of the Mech Designer System.

As a small Journeyman Mech Designer that had just entered this exclusive circle, her main mission was to catch up to her mentor and the other users!

She had a fairly clear understanding of how much of a difference the Mech Designer System could make. The young woman only had to trace the progression of Ves, Gloriana and Ketis.

The latter two particularly displayed noticeable shifts in their patterns. The two female mech designers distinctly developed a lot faster at certain points of time. This was strong evidence that those were the periods where they had just been inducted into the Mech Designer System!

Now, Alexa would be the latest beneficiary of this highly exclusive privilege.

"This is... an amazing gift. I could have asked for nothing better." She sounded genuinely grateful. "However, I am not naive enough to know that you invited me out of the goodness of your hearts. What... do you expect from me now that you have given me a key to this hallowed space?"

Gloriana smiled like a shark. "While we do not want to impose any hard quotas, we expect you to contribute to the improvement of the upgradeable facilities here. We just gave you a tour of the Dimension Observatory. This is the true source of all of our superdimensional matter. Ketis deceived everyone when she implied that the reason why she can cut an entrance into the Blue Dimension is by relying on the power of the Heavensword. In truth, it is because she is actually relying on the power of the System."

"Creating a breach into another dimension is a costly endeavor." Ves explained. "Ketis needs to pay a lot of Ascension Points just to create a temporary passage, and that was when we have already invested hundreds if not thousands of AP to expand its size and duration. Now that you have become a user, we expect you to complete Missions at the Mission Hall and spend at least a portion of the AP that you have earned to further upgrade the Dimension Observatory. Doing so will directly enrich the Larkinson Clan and strengthen its inviolability. Much of the reason why no one wants to mess with us is because we can directly cut off their access to a huge source of superdimensional matter. The only other way to obtain this highly strategic material is to capture Saint Piercers and Saint Armors from defeated enemy phase lords."

The latter was easier said than done. It was virtually impossible for junior ace mechs as well as senior ace mechs without superdimensional armaments to defeat extremely well-equipped phase leaders!

Perhaps only peak ace pilots could overcome the enormous gap in equipment quality and defeat such amazingly tough and lethal alien champions!

In other words, superdimensional matter was still unattainable for the vast majority of human groups, at least at this moment of time.

This only increased the importance of the Larkinson Clan’s possession of an exclusive means to create a passage into the Blue Dimension.

Alexa already understood much of the implications of this matter. She still felt amazed that she too possessed the power to create an identical breach into that strange dimension.

Of course, she knew better than to exercise this power. Not only did it cost a lot of AP to create an entrance, she would also expose the ruse that successfully obscured the existence of the Mech Designer System!

The three talked a bit more.

In general, Alexa should strive to contribute at least half of her AP income into various System upgrades, but the others were not too picky about this quota.
