You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 8 The Abyss on the Tip of the Tongue
Memories buried for many years are revived at this moment.

Twist it, lick it, soak it...

That brainwashing advertising slogan from back then inspired Li Zhe at that moment.

He immediately retrieved the "Private Energy Supply Pack" from the maintenance hangar.

The lid can be easily twisted open with one hand.

The colorful liquid, like flowing liquid glass, spun slowly, radiating an alluring luster.

Without further hesitation, Li Zhe picked up a "Mechanical Demon Steel Core" and dipped it into the colorful liquid...

"Zi La~"

A very faint but clearly audible sound rang out.

The moment the metal material comes into contact with the energy supplement, it is as if it has been immersed in an ultra-low temperature freezing liquid.

A layer of fine white frost, like that of a cream puff, quickly forms on the surface.

Li Zhe held the soaked gear up to his eyes.

The original metallic sheen was covered by a layer of hazy white icing, making it look...

It actually does look somewhat like a dessert!

He gritted his teeth and stuffed the treated gear into his mouth.

It's slightly cool to the touch...

Boom!

A crisp sound burst in my mouth.

The gears broke, not my own teeth.

After chewing and savoring it carefully...

It has a very crispy texture!

Li Zhe's eyes widened slightly as he savored this unprecedented and wondrous experience.

The fine white frost on the surface melts in your mouth, with a refreshing and invigorating minty flavor.

This exhilarating sensation instantly swept over my entire taste buds.

The metal gears, which were originally incredibly hard and strong enough to be used as darts to injure people, were relatively brittle and soft to the taste.

As for the feeling...

It's somewhere between compressed biscuits and pecans.

With just a little force, the reinforced teeth act like two rows of sophisticated hydraulic shredders, pulverizing the gear biscuit.

A "gulp" sound came from my mouth.

The crumbs, a mixture of the lingering smell of engine oil and the refreshing scent of mint, slid down my throat and into my stomach.

For ordinary people, this behavior is absolutely a high-risk, suicidal act.

It is best not to imitate this; you will be responsible for any consequences of scratching your esophagus.

But Li Zhe is different.

His body now is a genuine suit of armor!

The digestive system is probably more powerful than an industrial furnace; a mere small gear is no match for it.

Even if he couldn't digest it, with his current physical strength, he could easily excrete it.

In the worst-case scenario, the loss would only be one ordinary material, and the risk is completely manageable.

The benefits, however, are immediate!
As soon as the "gear cookie" entered my stomach, a surge of warmth instantly welled up from my stomach, washing over my entire body.

At the same time, a clear system panel prompt appeared in front of me.

[Upgrade successful. Mech strength +0.01, energy charge +1]

Current combat strength: 1.51

Energy: 2/6

"Fuck!"

Li Zhe couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, his heart surging with uncontrollable excitement.

This kind of unorthodox method can actually be used to enhance your abilities!

Fast-acting! No side effects! It even eliminates the need for processing!
This enhancement plan was practically tailor-made for his muscle armor.

More importantly, there's the "+1" effect! According to the instructions for using the energy pack, you can only replenish 1 point of energy by drinking 1 liter of water under normal circumstances.

But for me, just a tiny bit of "dipping sauce" spread on these "cookies" and eaten is enough to directly replenish 1 point of energy!
If I used this five-liter tub of energy supplement to soak cookies for energy, I could practically explode!
They made a killing! This was a windfall!
"Cool!"

Li Zhe licked his lips, feeling the renewed strength within him and the energy bar restored to one level. He felt refreshed and full of energy.

That being the case...

He unceremoniously took out the remaining nine mechanical demon steel cores.

One after another, they repeated the process of "soaking and chewing".

"Bang bang...knock bang..."

The crisp sound of chewing echoed on the rooftop, accompanied by the continuous refreshing of system notifications.

[Upgrade successful. Mech strength +0.01, energy charge +1]

[Upgrade successful. Mech strength +0.01, energy charge +1]

……

If you just want to recharge your energy, four more will be enough.

However, we have an information advantage, which allows us to avoid the risk of energy depletion when facing a powerful enemy.

The sensible choice is to prioritize using available resources to enhance combat capabilities.

Eat as much as you can, and unleash your full potential!
After finishing the last "gear biscuit," Li Zhe's attributes also received a fractional boost.

Current combat strength: 1.6

Energy: 6/6

My combat power has increased from 1.5 when I first entered the Abyss Domain to 1.6, and my energy has also been fully restored.

If other mecha pilots knew about this rocket-like speed of advancement, they would probably shatter their Dao hearts on the spot and question their existence.

Feeling the new power surging within him, Li Zhe nodded in satisfaction.

He retrieved the bucket of energy supplements, which had barely been used, back into the hangar.

My gaze fell on the [Task Guide] on the system panel.

There is a small red dot in the upper left corner of the task guide.

The panel seemed to vibrate in my head just now, indicating that there was new content updated.

I was so busy figuring out how to "eat cookies" that I didn't even have time to see this new trick.

He casually clicked on it and found that the task list had indeed been refreshed.

A brand new mission lies there quietly, radiating an alluring glow...

[Limited-Time Elite Challenge: The Trial of Entering the Abyss]

[Description: I don't need to know where you are, I don't need to know who you are... You don't need to care about anything right now, but please remember... You are about to go on a killing spree.]

[Requirement: During your initial stay in the Abyss Realm, hunt down a total of fifty Abyss monsters (any type), including at least one elite monster and one Abyss Apostle.]

【当前进度：怪物猎杀（39/50），深渊使徒（12/1），精英怪物（0/1）】

[Reward: 2 Rare Blueprint Supply Boxes (Guaranteed to contain at least one rare quality module blueprint upon opening)]

[Difficulty: A]

Looking at this task, Li Zhe couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is it because I'm progressing too fast, or is there a delay in the task guidance system?

I had almost finished meeting my targets when the task finally arrived.

This is just like when you're playing a game, and you're about to defeat the boss when the system suddenly pops up and says, "Warrior, I have a mission for you to defeat that boss..."

That said, the rewards are quite generous.

Two guaranteed rare blueprint supply boxes!
His legendary detection module was found in an ordinary supply crate.

The probability of getting good items from these rare supply crates should be higher, right?

According to the mission requirements, I only need to hunt a few more random monsters, plus one elite monster, and I can easily finish the job.

The Apostle-level cat demon mechanical girl has already exceeded expectations, and it's only a matter of time before she kills 11 more ordinary familiars.

The only challenge is that elite-level monster...
