Sasha kneeled in the center of the room, naked, her wrists already bound behind her back with rough hemp rope that Tucker had cinched tight enough to leave impressions on her skin.She shivered, not from cold but from the weight of anticipation.He stood behind her, one hand tangled in her hair while the other worked the rope harness across her chest, the coarse fibers biting into the soft flesh of her breasts.He tugged the rope once more, pulling her head back until her throat was exposed. “Is this what you want?”"Yes." The word came out breathless as her lips touched his artificial cock from below. “Show me all your new features.”Using the 100,000 nex, she didn’t just get any simple upgrade. She gave Tucker a premium penis. One that was electrically chargeable and could go on for a long time.Sasha did not know how the real cock smelled.So she gasped at the sight of his chest rising and falling in slow, deliberate breaths. Every muscle was defined under the dim light, and betwee

“Say that again?” Sasha wanted to hear what Tucker just said.“After I beat Steel Jackal, can I take his gear?” Tucker asked calmly.Sasha’s expression changed.She quickly checked online to see the rules, only to get disappointed. “No. You can destroy your opponent’s equipment, but you can’t take it.”“Why not?”“Because it’d be stealing. A Keeper spends lots of money on their robots. You can just steal their robots’ gear just because you won the match.”“Mm…” Tucker squinted his eyes. “If I can’t take his gear, then I’ll just destroy his core.”Sasha sighed. “As if it’s that easy. Steel Jackal is a veteran among veterans. I’ll find the footage of his previous matches and send it to your drive. Analyze them and learn his patterns.”Tucker remained silent.“Where’s your answer?” Sasha looked at him coldly.He reluctantly nodded.Afterward, Sasha left home.Tucker stood on the charging pad and used the electrical energy to cultivate himself. “My sync rate is still at 0.94 percent. This

Robots had different modes they could use so they could optimize their work. Some modes include Berserker Mode, Fortress Mode, Phantom Mode, Bloodhound mode, Overclock mode, Frenzy Mode, Execution Mode, and Predator Mode.Every mode provided different facilities. For instance, in the Juggernaut mode, the armor plates locked together and spinal boosters provided unstoppable forward momentum, making the robot into a fast-moving tank.Certain gear was required to use these modes. One gear set typically didn’t provide all these modes. Even high level gear sets only provided a few of these modes.Steel Jackal just activated the Deep Predator Mode, which mixed both martial arts, top robotic tech and high-level predictive programming to analyze and predict opponent’s reaction timing, foot placement and dodge direction.On top of that, Steel Jackal’s pain limiters shut off, energy consumption doubled, speed increased by thirty percent, and claw acceleration increased dramatically.Sasha ploppe

The door opened.A group of people were playing cards and smoking and drinking.They saw Tucker, but they ignored him and continued what they were doing.“Show,” one man tossed his cards on the table. He had little to no hair on his head.The others slapped the table in frustration. “Dammit! You won again! How can you win ten times in a row? Are you cheating us?”“Hey, you are hurt because I won ten times in a row,” the winner snorted. “How much more should I be hurt because I lost my main horse Steel Jackal. I made millions with his reputation, but all of that was ruined by some trash X-grade robot which doesn’t even have a one percent sync rate.”His gaze finally landed on Tucker.“Why are you here? Where is your master?” the bald man asked.“Are you Steel Jackal’s sponsor?”“I’m not just his sponsor. I’m also his master,” the bald man replied coldly. “Tell me… how did you win against him? Others might have considered it as luck, but that couldn’t have been luck.”“I won because Ste

Sasha watched the parrot vehicle disappear into the distance.She looked at her wrist gadget. There were no messages from sponsors. Not a single one.“I thought messages would come pouring in, but why isn't anyone interested in Tucker?” she frowned. “Is it because he’s an X-grade?”Even though Tucker had won against Steel Jackal, Tucker’s sync rate was still below 1 percent, so Sasha thought that the sponsors might be thinking that he won by a fluke or something.“X-grade… Why did Dad have to buy an X-grade? It would have been nice if he bought a G-grade robot, but then again, the cost gets doubled.”It cost 25,000 nex to buy Tucker, but even base variants among G-grade robots would cost at least 50,000 nex.Sasha deeply sighed. “Let’s see how far I can go with Tucker. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll find another way.”She entered the room.To her surprise, her parents were on the couch, watching the Circuit matches.“Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?” she wasn’t expecting to see them o
