Chapter 420: Veronica, The Legendary Mechanic
Chapter 420: Veronica, The Legendary Mechanic
—–
Veronica was now allowed to become a Legendary Mechanic!
And even more, as she now had enough Skill Points to actually buy this stuff, so it is not just a tease!
Although she considered that the Skill Tree was rather good, these Skills would easily make her unique abilities even more unique.
She would literally be finally bringing the technology of the high-tech to Kritias, and funnily enough, through Skills!
Without thinking it twice, Veronica bought all three Skills.
[You exchanged 90.000 Skill Points!]
[You purchased the [Mechanical Creation: Level 1] [Cost: 10.000 Skill Points], [Mechanical Transformation: Level 1] [Cost: 25.000 Skill Points], and [Nanobots Creation and Manipulation: Level 1] [Cost: 55.000 Skill Points] Skills!]
Veronica suddenly felt a rush of knowledge impact her mind, as she was almost knocked off by it!
It felt as if she was a computer being loaded with a ton of logistics, information, knowledge, and more!
Suddenly, she really and truly understood how to actually craft… mechanical parts using technology and magic!
Just how did the Samsara System even get such power?
Did it drag such knowledge from a world that Hekaton’s Transmigration Cycle is connected with?
Veronica had such a theory… Perhaps, as she developed her soul, which was fused with this strange copy of the Samsara System, she was slowly unlocking stranger and stranger powers within it.
And it was thanks to the Skill Points, brought from another world, Genesis, that she was now able to reach this point, so she really was grateful for Kireina.
Ding!
[You learned the [Mechanical Creation: Level 1], [Mechanical Transformation: Level 1], and [Nanobots Creation and Manipulation: Level 1] Skills!]
[You unlocked the [Mechanical Blueprint Gacha] and [Mechanical Forgery] Skill Functions!]
“Oh! Nice! Finally! Alright, let’s see what this gacha is all about… I think I could make some pretty simple mechanical arms and stuff, but using a blueprint from the get-go is the easy way around it!” thought Veronica, opening the Blueprint Gacha.
<Mechanical Blueprint Gacha>
[Spend Skill Points to acquire Blueprints and Bonus Mechanical Materials to craft the strongest Mechanical Items in the Universe!]
[x1 Gacha: 2.500 Skill Points (Get +1 Bonus Material)]
[x10 Gacha: 20.000 Skill Points (Get +11 Bonus Materials)]
[List of Items (Click to see list and probabilities)]
“Oh?! This is really like a phone game now, what the heck?!”
Veronica was surprised by the colorful holographic screen that emerged before her eyes, as she saw letters of neon colors moving around while showing her the gacha options.
Alongside this, in the middle of the screen, there were various pictures of the items she could craft based on the blueprints she could acquire!
Giant Gundam-like mechs with enormous mechanical wings and cannons appeared, alongside large flying space ships, powerful mechanical arms and legs, large mechanical weapons, giant gamma-ray cannons, and even android models!
Veronica even saw… what seemed like some kind of Death Star!
This was way too thrilling for her, but she assumed that to even craft such a thing as a Death Star-looking one, that it would probably cost a fortune of materials.
Veronica decided to check the blueprint and items list separately, finding many names and pictures of what could appear in this otherworldly gacha that came directly out of a sci-fi-oriented phone game.
<List of acquirable Blueprints sorted by rarity>
[Annihilator of Planets Blueprint (5 Star): 0.10%]
[Destroyer of Moons Blueprint (5 Star): 0.15%]
[Super Mechanical Overlord Bodysuit Blueprint (5 Star): 0.20%]
[Turbo Light-Years Traveling Spaceship: Black Stargazer (5 Star): 0.25%]
[…]
The list went on and on… Veronica saw that the most amazing ones were the hardest to get, while the smaller and most terrible of them all had very high probabilities of appearing, making this just as unfair as an actual Gacha from the earth!
Alongside this, Skill Points were a precious resource, wasting them into this god damn gacha made her quite angry, especially seeing how expensive and unfair it was.
But deep down, she wanted to try it out a bit!
At least… an x10 pull to see how it goes!
Only this time…!
Veronica just wanted to taste the Gacha… at least by a tiny bit, only to probably leave it away for a good while.
“Ugh… am I really going to do this?” she thought.
Ding!
[You exchanged 20.000 Skill Points for x10 Gacha Pull!]
[Spinning the Gacha wheel!]
Suddenly, Veronica saw as a wheel began to spin within the system holographic window, until it finally stopped, dropping four spheres from it, all shining brightly with different colors!
<Gacha Results>

…
Veronica was left speechless.
Perhaps those Skill Points were… well spent.
The Blueprints she got, albeit not as insane as the 5 Star ones were still pretty amazing.
Even more, their names gave her goosebumps.
Was she really going to become the Legendary Mechanic of Kritias?!
And she even got a bunch of useful Materials to craft these items in the get-go!
As everyone around her began to grill seafood and the monsters hunted around, Veronica felt like she was in some kind of space opera as a genius mechanic!
She felt in her own world right at this moment!
Seeing how Anna and Shade went to eat some food, she immediately began to craft some new items!
“Which one should I make first…? The strongest ones, of course!” she thought, grabbing the two 3 Star Blueprints, and checking their details through Appraisal.

[Mana-Absorbing Mechanical Cannon Blueprint (3 Star)]

…
“I see! Alright then, I think I have everything… Surplus… Magic Ores… ready,” thought Veronica, quickly grabbing the many Mana Cores she had stored in a giant pile within her Soul World, alongside a lot of highly magical ores and alloys she had created, and then, the Quantum Steel Alloy and the Dark Matter Crystal…
Putting everything in front of her, she immediately used Mechanical Creation and the mental blueprints, alongside the materials and her own body made into nanomachines!
Flash!
All the materials were quickly dissolved within the flash of light, as the item began to emerge out of nowhere, made entirely out by tiny nanomachines and all the materials they grabbed!
The first item Veronica created was… the Psionic Primeval Blue Core!
