The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1519

Ever since Gloriana revealed the standard that Ves needed to meet to earn her mother’s approval, Ves continually sank into thought.

He already enjoyed Gloriana’s company. He found her to be delightful and supportive of him, so much so that Ves did not mind the idea of becoming a permanent item.

Not only did he stand to gain a lot of practical benefits from their union, he believed he could trust her with all of his secrets.

However, the Wodin Dynasty sure expected much from any man who wished to capture her heart.

With all of the bias and lack of faith directed towards him, the only way for him to break their poor impression of him was to prove he had the capability to fabricate a second-class mech!

Yet how much effort did he have to make to reach this point? He couldn’t just pick a random mech design and fabricate it a thousand times. Ves believed he needed to design his own second-class mech to open up the option of making a suitable masterwork, but that entailed becoming intimately familiar with these kinds of machines.

Ves already envisioned a very busy schedule ahead of him due to his desire to fill up the LMC’s catalog of third-class mechs. He had way too many things to do to squeeze in additional study of second-class mechs.

Unless... he made use of a time-saving tool like the System!

His eyes grew a bit brighter.

He knew that ordinary third-rate mech designers had an immensely tough time trying to adapt to the standard of mechs in second-rate states. The fact that no promising mech designer from the Bright Republic who emigrated to the Friday Coalition or the Hexadric Hegemony managed to advance to Master was proof!

While Ves knew that exceptions of this rule existed elsewhere in the galaxy, he still recognized that he needed to put an immense amount of effort into learning a brand-new class of mechs.

Fortunately, he possessed more means to do so. He already became exposed to many of the technologies used in second-class mechs through his higher-tiered Skills and Sub-Skills. Much of what he learned only really became relevant when his budget and tech standard surpassed a certain height.

Gloriana also promised to help him as well.

"I’ll tutor you as much as I can about second-class mechs." She spoke with conviction. "Since we’re going to be together anyway, I can instruct you as often as it’s convenient to us. Within a decade or less, I hope you become just as fluent in designing second-class mechs as me. I don’t think any Journeyman is willing to dedicate as much time as me in bringing you up to speed."

Ves hugged her closer to him. He really enjoyed feeling her warm body against his own. "Thank you, Gloriana, but you shouldn’t neglect your own development. I think I can manage with some light instruction. I won’t be able to master second-class mechs if my perspective is distorted by your own. I need to develop my own understanding."

As a mech designer, Gloriana knew what he was worried about. A similar dynamic existed when teaching or mentoring apprentices.

"You won’t learn as fast if I’m not there to hold your hand."

"I think I’ll manage. Let me try first, and if my progress isn’t good enough a few years from now, we can try something else. For now, it’s important for my principal development to design a lot of mechs for the Bright Republic and other comparable mech markets."

If he switched over to designing second-class mechs right away, then he would have to waste valuable years while he tried to reinvent the wheel. Not only that, he needed some way of breaking into the mech market of a much more advanced and foreign state.

The progression of a mech designer did not really depend on the class of mechs. He still believed it would be useful for him to expand his range into both third and second-class mechs.

Ves and Gloriana discussed their upcoming plans. For now, Ves wanted to focus on his existing plans and study up on second-class mechs in his spare time.

While Gloriana did not have any obligations per se, Ves did not wish for her to waste all of her time in assisting him in his own projects.

"I think it’s best if you revive your Flawless Mech Workshop and fulfill some commissions on your own." He said. "Even if you’re away from the Hegemony, you can still do your work by remote."

She firmly shook her head. "I don’t want to. You don’t have to be worried about my progression. I think it will be a true pleasure to help you design your mechs. Just like how it’s best for you if you start to learn how to design a second-class mech, I think it will benefit me as well if I expand my range to third-class mechs. I can make just as much progress in the Bright Republic by adapting and modifying your mech designs into perfect vessels to some of your customers."

"Really?" He questioned.

"Mmhmm." Gloriana cutely leaned her head on his shoulder. "I don’t think working in the Bright Republic is a waste of my time. Not only will I be able to step out of the box and learn an entirely new framework of mech design, I’ll also get to work by your side! The more we collaborate, the more we become proficient in combining our specialties. If we want to bring out the most in each other, then we need to work together as much as possible."

This was the logic between mech designer pairings. Two creators who shared the same profession but approached their work from different directions could combine each other’s efforts in fantastic ways!

However, such a desirable outcome did not come about instantly. A long-term partnership was essential, and no partnership was as stable and enduring as a marriage!

Ves decided to test how well they could work together. "Let me show you my Desolate Soldier design like I originally planned. While my current design project has reached an advanced stage, I hope you can provide me with some valuable input."

He turned back to the terminal and tried his best to load in his design schematics. Gloriana kept leaning her body against his own as she studied the schematics and other data on the ballistic rifleman mech.

This time, Ves did not narrate his design choices or overall logic behind his design. He wanted Gloriana to make her own judgement on his work.

He watched her reaction carefully over the next hour as she immersed herself into the Desolate Soldier design.

In her desire to make it possible for her to collaborate with Ves as much as possible, she was willing to adjust the direction of her design philosophy! _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
