"Wh-where is this, Shane?"
Xiao Wu reached out to grab the virtual projections, but her hands passed right through them. She asked, full of curiosity.
"Classmate Xiao Wu, welcome to… my world!"
In this virtual space, Shane was the one and only king!
Xiao Wu was stunned. Shane, wearing the transparent VR interface, manipulating data with his every move, looked incredibly cool!
This kind of sci-fi style, which she had never seen before, completely mesmerized the little rabbit.
"Hey, hey, are you dazed or what?"
Shane called out to Xiao Wu a few times with no response. Finally, he gently pinched her nose to snap her back to reality.
"Sorry! So, what should I do next?" Xiao Wu asked, her little face blushing.
"First step, let me scan your body data. That's the only way to design a mecha that's perfectly suited for you."
When it came to mecha, Shane was very serious.
"Scan my body? Like this?"
Xiao Wu said, spreading her arms and twirling around on the spot.
"That works, but it's not enough. At the very least, it has to be like this!"
The moment his voice fell, Shane pulled her into a hug!
"Ah! You—!"
Xiao Wu instinctively started to cry out, but Shane anticipated it and cut her off with a word.
"Don't scream, it'll be over in a moment!"
The fragrance of the little loli's hair and body filled Shane's nostrils. Their embrace made the Intelligent Chip's data collection more convenient and faster.
Seeing that Shane was just holding her without making any other moves, Xiao Wu gradually relaxed.
However, it was her first time being in such close contact with someone of the opposite sex. Shane's clean, fresh scent also made Xiao Wu's heart pound.
What a strange feeling. Is this what a human hug is like? It really is very different from Spirit Beasts!
Xiao Wu began to get used to the warm embrace, and her two little hands came to rest on the boy's back.
A moment later, the Intelligent Chip reported to Shane.
[Target data collection has reached its limit. Due to excessively strong intrinsic spiritual power, further in-depth mining is not possible…]
Although Xiao Wu's transformation into human form had caused her spirit power level to drop significantly, her spiritual soul strength was still far beyond that of her peers.
So, it was still too difficult for Shane to completely collect all her data, but what he had now was sufficient.
Shane proactively released Xiao Wu, who suddenly felt a little sense of wistful loss.
"Hey, Siri!"
"Create a new file directory: Goddess. Consolidate Xiao Wu's data into Goddess Archive 1!"
[Acknowledged. Executing command…]
[Goddess Archive 1: Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Demon Rabbit, Data Collection: 40%]
[Template data ready. Commencing mecha creation!]
Shane already had a plan in his mind and focused on issuing commands.
Little did he know, his short sentence had stirred up huge waves in a certain young lady's heart!
Goddess? Shane actually called me a goddess?
Xiao Wu immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, fiddling with her little hands, not uttering a word, her mind wandering off to who knows where…
Yet, at that very moment, beams of light scanned her and currents flowed through. Xiao Wu's body stiffened slightly, and a model of a humanoid mecha gradually appeared before her eyes.
As the data was refined and spirit power infused, a mecha embodying the characteristics of the Soft Bone Demon Rabbit and tailored to Xiao Wu's physique was born!
[Creation Complete. Mecha is ready!]
[Name: Spirit Rabbit Mecha]
[Characteristics: Retains and enhances the Soft Bone Demon Rabbit's flexibility and agility.]
[Mecha Soul Skill: Corresponds to Xiao Wu's spirit skills, enhancing their spirit ring effects. Currently none.]
[Note: Only when Host Shane creates mecha using other template data will he possess additional Mecha Soul Skills. Others will only receive enhancements to their original spirit ring effects.]
Unlike the sharp and aggressive Wind Wolf Mecha, Xiao Wu's Spirit Rabbit Mecha looked much softer.
The pink and white color scheme added an extra touch of girly charm!
Based solely on this mecha's aesthetics and functionality, Shane felt… no girl could resist its allure!
And sure enough, when Xiao Wu saw the Spirit Rabbit Mecha custom-made for her, her large eyes never left it for a second!
"Shane, did you really make this mecha for me?"
Xiao Wu felt like she was dreaming, grabbing the boy's arm and shaking it incessantly, utterly thrilled.
"That's right. What do you think? Do you like it?"
Shane stepped forward and patted the Spirit Rabbit Mecha.
Sounds good, doesn't it? If it sounds good, it's a good mecha!
"I love it, I love it! Thank you, Shane!"
"So, how do I use this mecha?"
Xiao Wu's previous bad impression of Shane had completely vanished. Now, she felt that not only was he strong and handsome, but he was also surprisingly nice!
"I'm glad you like it. Unfortunately, you don't have the qualifications to use this mecha yet."
Shane shook his head, deliberately being mysterious.
"Can't use it? Why? Didn't you make it for me?"
Xiao Wu's silly little head couldn't figure it out, her eyes filled with that clear, innocent naivety.
"I built it using you as a template, but I never said I was giving it to you, did I?"
"Do you think such good things as mecha just fall from the sky?"
Shane spread his hands and said with a mischievous grin.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu realized Shane had a point. She could only look pitiful and aggrieved, "Then what do I have to do for you to give this mecha to me?"
"Simple. Sign a contract with me, and this mecha will be yours from now on!"
Shane was waiting for her to say just that!
As he spoke, he held out his right hand, and something resembling a spirit ring even appeared around the Intelligent Chip.
"What kind of effect will this contract of yours have?"
At the critical moment, Xiao Wu surprisingly wasn't so foolish anymore and asked warily.
"Er, well, I call it a contract, but you can also understand it as my first spirit ring!"
"The stronger the person I contract with, the stronger my first spirit ring will be. That's why I approached you, you see~"
This statement from Shane was half-truth, half-lie. This contract indeed served as his first spirit ring, but its effects went far beyond that!
Once the contract was signed, Shane would not only gain access to all of the other party's memory data, but any improvements in their spirit power cultivation would also be fed back to him, achieving a shared progression!
(Note: This sharing isn't about completely exploiting the contracted person's efforts. Rather, it's a feedback mechanism via the mecha that doesn't negatively impact the contracted person, essentially allowing for twice the results with half the effort – with the other half being transferred to Shane.)
"So that's how it is! Your mutated Martial Soul is way too strange!"
"But you picked the right person! There won't be anyone in the academy more amazing than Sister Xiao Wu!"
The little rabbit suddenly became cocky, feeling as if her strength had been acknowledged by Shane.
"So, are you willing to sign a contract with me, Xiao Wu?"
"Mm, okay! But you better not trick me! You absolutely have to give me that mecha!"
Xiao Wu waved her little pink fists threateningly.
"Don't worry, it was always meant for you."
Shane smiled faintly; his first Goddess Contract was finally about to happen!
"So, what do I do now?"
"You just have to hold my hand. Leave the rest to me!"
Their bodies drew close. First, they held each other's small hands, and then their fingers intertwined.
Shane remained relatively calm, but Xiao Wu's face was already as red as an apple.
"Deep breaths, don't be nervous~"
Under his guidance, the little loli gradually began to relax… However, the very next moment!
Shane suddenly leaned in towards her rosy little lips and bit down!
"Mmph~ Mmph? Mmph!"
