Chapter 3 - SSS-Rank Leader, Towering Sky!

"Accessing Genesis System."

"Rank 9, High School Grade 3, Xu Gu."

"Awakening successful!"

"Mechanization successful!"

"Vehicle type: Heavy Truck!"

"Grade: S-rank!"

Unaware of the commotion outside, Xu Gu felt enveloped in an endless blue light. His body began to feel heavy, and he couldn't move his limbs or speak.

Dazed and unconscious.

After an unknown period, Xu Gu suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright, cold light flickered.

Everything before him seemed to have become smaller.

No, more precisely, his perspective had been elevated.

With a gentle movement, the only response he got was the creaking mechanical sound!

Looking down, he realized he had transformed into a Heavy Truck Tyrannosaurus! A fusion of man and vehicle!

He was the vehicle!

The vehicle was him!

His awakening was successful!

He was a destined being of this world—a Mech-Rider!

And an S-rank one at that! A Heavy Truck!

Optimus Prime!

With a thought, the wheels began to move forward, brakes, headlights, and turns, all controlled with a single thought!

"Rise!"

The Heavy Truck emitted a pleasant mechanical sound. First, the front of the truck lifted, the wheels retracted, the axis rotated, and the body underwent a transformation.

Feet, legs, torso, arms, head - everything underwent a change.

Transformed into a Mech-Rider!

A Transformer!

And all of this happened in just a few seconds.

The entire transformation process was incredibly dazzling!

After the transformation, he stood fifteen meters tall, shining with a blue-red metallic luster, filled with power!

As if he could punch and shatter a mountain with a single blow! Even a three-story residential building appeared to him as nothing more than a small model!

Apart from the physical changes, there was no difference in sensation! He felt just like a regular human! No discomfort after awakening whatsoever!

...

Just then, the mechanical, icy voice sounded again.

"Talent meets the standard. Please extract equipment!"

"Extraction in progress!"

"Extraction successful!"

"Obtained A-rank attack equipment—Sky Rending Slash!"

...

Before Xu Gu could react, a longsword shimmering with brilliance appeared in front of him.

With the appearance of this longsword, the world around turned icy cold. Everyone involuntarily gasped in shock and stepped back.

Complete uproar!

Not just the teachers, even the awakened students who had become Machine Men were all exclaiming in astonishment!

"Damn!"

"This is too amazing!"

"S-rank Mech-Rider with an A-rank attack equipment!"

It was boiling with excitement, and everyone's eyes toward Xu Gu were filled with envy.

Even Lin Liu, the school flower who had awakened to B-rank and came from a wealthy conglomerate in the provincial capital, had her pride completely shattered. Her eyes were full of shock!

S-rank Mech-Rider! His potential was hundreds of times higher than hers. Even his basic data was four times hers! When ranking up, she might gain only 50-60 points of overall data, while Xu Gu could gain 200-300 points!

At rank 1, he was stronger than other Machine Men at rank 10!

Especially with the A-rank attack equipment!

In his eyes, she and the force behind her suddenly became insignificant!

Looking at the incredibly sharp energy blade in his hand, Xu Gu's breathing quickened.

His eyes gradually filled with excitement.

[Lv1: A-rank Sky Rending Slash!]

[Attack bonus: 100]

[Upgrade experience: 500]

[Characteristic: Sharp! Can cut through anything!]

Xu Gu equipped the Sky Rending Slash and couldn't help but smile.

Rank: 1!

Firepower: 180

Defense: 65

Power: 65

At S-rank, the three-dimensional data at rank one typically ranges from 50 to 80 in each category. Xu Gu's data was not particularly high but not low either.

However, once the A-rank equipment was added, it became extraordinary!

Looking solely at the data, he could rival the Vice Principal at rank 10!

However,

Just as Xu Gu was about to leave the awakening platform, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind!

[Millionfold Amplification System bound successfully!]

"System?"

Xu Gu's footsteps paused.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pretended nothing had happened and returned to the crowd.

"Xu Shen! Recognize me!"

"Boss! Need me to warm up your engine? I'll polish your motorcycle!"

Countless men and women surged forward.

They wanted to kneel and lick Xu Gu just to be recognized by him.

As for the goddesses who already had a good impression of Xu Gu, they went crazy and fought to be his bike attendants!

Among them were rank flowers, school beauties, and even female CEOs of listed companies and high-ranking officials!

For a moment, even Lin Liu, the arrogant school beauty who had awakened as a B-rank Mech-Rider, hesitated for a moment and mustered up the courage to confess to Xu Gu.

"Xu Gu! I like you! Can you be my boyfriend?"

"I'm sorry, you're a good... bike."

Xu Gu looked at the attractive and flirtatious female Mech-Rider, Lin Liu, but shook his head.

Her quality was too low.

If he were to look for a partner, he would definitely choose supercars, submarines, luxury yachts, and other glamorous beauties!

A mere B-rank? Not even close!

"Whoosh!"

Once again, the world became uproarious.

Xu Gu actually rejected the school beauty's confession!

You see, after awakening as a Mech-Rider, their habits, and appearance remained similar to their pre-awakening state. The higher their looks and figure were before awakening, the more attractive they became after awakening!

Lin Liu's looks and figure were undoubtedly top-notch! She made countless ordinary students and Mech-Riders feel restless!

Moreover, she was only a B-rank Mech-Rider!

Especially, Lin Liu came from a very influential family! Rumor had it that she was the daughter of a major conglomerate in the province!

No one expected that Xu Gu would decisively refuse her!

"I can be your little one!"

Lin Liu felt disappointed. She didn't expect to be rejected so decisively, feeling somewhat wronged. Her eyes reddened as she watched Xu Gu's gradually fading figure. She bit her lip and said.

Once again, a commotion erupted.

Everyone was deeply stunned!

The school beauty, Lin Liu, who came from a powerful family and was incredibly proud, was actually willing to be Xu Gu's "little one"?

"Sorry, I'm not interested in dating," Xu Gu paused for a moment, turned around, and smiled.

With that, he disappeared into the crowd.

Very chic!

If he didn't have the system, playing with Lin Liu and using her family's influence for his own development might be a way out.

But he had the system!

If such a secret were discovered, wouldn't he be dismantled?

...

"Xu... Master!"

Watching Xu Gu walk out of the awakening room, the counseling teacher, Lin Yuelin, who had been immersed in the fantastic news of Xu Gu awakening as an S-rank Mech-Rider, suddenly woke up. She blushed and hurriedly said shyly.

At the same time, looking at Xu Gu's huge figure, her body trembled.

He's too big...

Polishing a motorcycle, won't that result in a disaster?

However, she heard that S-rank Machines can change their size freely after reaching rank ten! Maybe it'll be fine then!

Her pretty face turned red, her heart raced, and her legs tightened.

Xu Gu casually greeted her, "Wait for me in the room. I'll be back later."

"Yes! M-Master!" Lin Yuelin had already subconsciously taken on the role of Xu Gu's bike attendant. From now on, she would completely obey and attach herself to Xu Gu, managing all kinds of wealth for him and elevating Xu Gu's status!

At the same time, if Xu Gu reached rank ten, she could also satisfy some of his more thrilling desires!

...

After greeting the other teachers, Xu Gu started to study the system he had bound to.

[Millionfold Amplification System!]

The function was straightforward.

By consuming a certain amount of Genesis Points, he could have a chance to draw for amplification.

After gaining amplification, he could amplify his Mech-Rider and accessories!

The most powerful, a millionfold amplification!

Undoubtedly, it was incredibly heaven-defying!

[Initial binding, one free draw chance for intermediate amplification!]

[Starting from a thousandfold amplification, with a maximum of ten thousandfold!]

"Whoosh!" Xu Gu couldn't help but inhale a cold breath.

A millionfold amplification?

That's so heaven-defying!

This...

If I use it to strengthen my own machine, what will S-rank be after a millionfold amplification? SSS?

"Amplification!"

[Amplifying!]

[Amplification successful!]

[Motorcycle gains a millionfold amplification!]

"A millionfold! Is the amplification directly maxed out?!"

Xu Gu's pupils contracted as he felt an incredibly astonishing change within himself. Terrifying power surged, and every inch of steel on his body became extremely divine!

[S-rank Heavy Truck successfully amplified to SSS Leader, Sky Rending!]

Xu Gu took a sharp breath.

SSS-rank!

He became an SSS-rank Mech-Rider!

In theory, he would be ten thousand times stronger than his previous S-rank Heavy Truck!

He checked the system panel.

Rank: 1!

Firepower: 600

Defense: 500

Power: 500

"Is this really a rank 1 attribute? Is SSS-rank this strong? Can I easily beat the Vice Principal at rank 30?"

[After amplification, the cool appearance can be hidden, making it look the same as without amplification.]

The system was very considerate.

It seemed to be afraid that others would dismantle Xu Gu.

...

He didn't know that news of his awakening as an S-rank had spread like wings throughout the entire Xia City!

"The top-ranking awakener in our city has come out!"

"It's Xu Gu from Xia City High School!"

"He awakened as an S-rank Heavy Truck!"

Hearing this news, the teachers who couldn't enter the Awakening Hall at Xia City High School were all trembling, their hearts beating intensely.

Especially the teachers who had taught Xu Gu.

This S-rank Mech-Rider, Xu Gu, who had the potential to become a god, was actually their student!

It wasn't just them, but all the leaders of Xia City, including the mayor, had the same emotions.

Excitement, joy, and disbelief!

Some city-rank financial magnates who were paying attention, and even provincial-rank conglomerates, fell into silence and then became restless after a while.

"Find out his specific information! This person is destined for greatness! Befriend him! We must befriend him!"

"He may have the potential to become the strongest in the province!"

"Find a way to recruit him! Even if we have to offer him fifty percent of the shares!"

"Quick! Hurry up and snatch him! He must be part of our Magic City Motorcycle Academy! Even if the Imperial City Academy comes, it won't work!"

Within the provincial and municipal conglomerates, heated discussions ensued, and a series of instructions were issued to get close to Xu Gu!

Some even sought cooperation with Xu Gu!

Even the two strongest academies in the country, the Imperial City Academy and the Magic City Academy, extended an olive branch to him!

Finally noticing the changes in the outside world and the craziness of countless people, Xu Gu remained calm.

Didn't expect this, did you?

I am now SSS-rank!

They've already gone crazy just with me being S-rank. If they knew I was SSS-rank, the entire country would go wild!

Xu Gu's lips curled up, but he didn't boast about it.
