"Seems I understand it now."

Li Cheng rubbed his chin. The Magic Energy Cannon Tower is an extension of his will, and the subordinate artillery is an extension of the Magic Energy Cannon Tower.

The Magic Cannon Master profession is limited to having only one tower at a time, but with the [Mercy Soul Song], this restriction can be largely bypassed.

Using the magic cannon itself as a central node, remotely commanding a massive amount of artillery.

If tanks are modified and upgraded, with better barrels, engines, and armor, then each tank can exert 20%, 30%, or even 50% of the power of the original magic cannon.

The final limit on the scale of the steel torrent depends on the upper limit of the soul-bearing strength of the Magic Energy Cannon Tower, and depends on Li Cheng's own level.

"Ah, my World of Tanks, War Thunder, Heart of Iron."

Gray Rain's eyes lit up. As a mechanical lifeform, she quite likes these antique combat vehicles.

She immediately disregards her scholarly appearance, shamelessly throws away her paper and pen, and hangs on Li Cheng like a koala, "Can I play as commander for a while, please~?"

"I can't breathe..."

Her weight of over eight hundred kilograms painfully squeezed Li Cheng's neck. His eyes rolled white, and he quickly peeled Gray Rain off him, "Go play elsewhere. Have you done your homework today?"

"Homework? What homework, can it be eaten?"

With that, Gray Rain immediately began pretending to be silly, "It seems the kitchen gas stove wasn't turned off, let me go check."

You... fine.

Li Cheng rubbed his temples, watching the armored cluster that moved freely like a pride of lions in Africa, slowly exhaling a turbid breath, "So this is a legendary item..."

[Mercy Soul Song] + [Assembled Puppet·Modified] + [Mechanic Master's Certificate],

The combined effect is far greater than three.

It's no wonder that legendary items are considered treasures by major guilds, enough for those above Level 35 to specially build a power system for it.

If previously in the Inverted Pyramid Secret Realm, there could have been a hundred magic cannons firing simultaneously, even the legendary gluttonous Meat Mountain L would have been blasted to mush... cough, minced meat.

"Let's leave it like this for now. I will later modify the three-dimensional warehouse to make room for these vehicles. As for your name..."

Li Cheng looked at the Magic Energy Cannon Tower that had gained a soul, paused, and thought hard.

He was never good at naming. How about 'Girls und Panzer'?

Tiberia?

Red Dragon?

Short Arrow?

Multi-rivet Steel?

Li Cheng thought for a long time, then decisively gave up, "Let's call it [Imperial Guards]."

"Yes."

The six-legged Magic Energy Cannon Tower moved its steps and went to the corner of the three-dimensional warehouse. All sorts of tanks and vehicles under its control quieted down, entering sleep mode.

The Magic Cannon Master profession received a massive boost, and next Li Cheng went to the Toy Factory.

"Rise! Han!"

Just as he stepped into the factory gate, he heard a unified chant.

A large number of cylindrical robots were neatly lined up in formation on the open ground, with a simple high platform made of concrete prefabricated parts in the front,

the same cylindrical robot that Li Cheng had previously sent flying into the sky with a [Floating Engine] was standing on the platform, delivering a speech in a rhythmic tone.

"Where the sun and moon shine, where the rivers reach, all is Han territory!"

"Gaochang's troops are like frost and snow, Han's troops are like the sun and moon. Sun and moon shine upon frost and snow, turning it to dust upon reflection."

"What do we need?"

"We need revenge! We need final solutions to the myriad historical problems since 1931! We need final solutions to the myriad historical problems since 1840! We need..."

The fervent chants echoed throughout the factory, almost like company team-building slogans, and after chanting, the cylindrical robots got down to work with drive, raising their hands in excitement when passing by Li Cheng,

making him doubt whether he was in Cao County or HLA.

Fortunately, these robots stayed in the Toy Factory; if they were to come in contact with the outside world, Li Cheng had no doubt they would bring 300% enthusiasm, working three shifts a day to mass-produce weapons of mass destruction, disrupting global order.

"Honorable Factory Owner," the Smart Core floated out, "You've arrived."

"Hmm, bring over the items from this batch of [Star-casting Anvil] orders."

Li Cheng rubbed his hands, not intending to implant souls into the entire Toy Factory; firstly, there wasn't enough spiritual power.

Secondly, the factory already has a Smart Core overseeing everything, so the difference in soul implantation is minimal.

Thirdly, the risks were too uncontrollable—who knows what kind of personality the vast Hidden Room would develop after possessing a soul. If it's kind and gentle, fine, but if it turns as fervent as the cylindrical robots, that would be unbearable.

"As you wish."

The Smart Core directed the cylindrical robots to bring over a dozen various quality equipment items for Li Cheng to experiment with one by one.

The results were quite... subtle.

The imbued items did not have higher intelligence with higher quality.

A perfect quality obscure weapon Makuavite (traditional weapon of the Central American Aztecs, with obsidian blades embedded in a wooden stick) had a soul limit of 300 points, with added effects to prevent opponent's wound healing and enhance bleeding effects.

It did not develop self-awareness.

Whereas a rare quality small clamshell phone had a soul limit of 400 points, with added AI voice that could chat and joke with the holder.

It likely relates to the complexity of the item, like a 20-meter diameter meteor, its explosion in the air can rival 30 Hiroshima atomic bombs, yet its composition is too singular,

ultimately having lower soul strength than a complete PC computer. Though, this isn't a bad thing. For weapons, simple, pure, and powerful is sufficient.
