From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 7: Lost for Half a Lifetime
You are crazy! Your whole family is crazy!
Not only local gangs, but also women are so rude!

Lin Yu's face turned slightly dark.

But after feeling the power of the Mecha Engineering with only one skill, he quickly started to check out his new skills.

"Skill: Mimic Personality"

"Level: LV1"

"Introduction: A special talent that can temporarily change one's own personality, simulating and taking on other personalities - or should we say a disease?"

This is the second time Lin Yu has acquired a skill.

He had actually tried various methods before, but he had never been able to trigger other skill clues. Unexpectedly, he accidentally obtained them at this time.

And it was obvious that this skill was not the same as mecha engineering. He did not feel that any knowledge or skills appeared in his mind.

However, after reading these words and understanding them carefully, he gradually had a unique feeling.

"Change personality? Turn yourself into a psychopath, right?"

After gradually recalling the effect of this skill, Lin Yu's face darkened again.

Mimicry personality is not like the knowledge and skills of mecha engineering, it is more like a special ability.

Of course, according to the introduction, it’s okay to talk about diseases.

He can clearly feel that he can now make some kind of change in his personality, that is, form a new personality that is completely different in character, thinking, concepts, etc.

It is similar to schizophrenia, but it is not a split, but a temporary change in one's own personality.

But what's the use of this thing?

Used to fake a cameo as a psychopath?
"No... maybe it's actually quite useful."

For the time being, he suppressed his rejection of becoming a 'psychopath' and adhered to the concept that simply becoming mentally ill should not be a skill. Lin Yu thought for a while and finally thought of the purpose of this skill.

Personality, this word is actually no problem even if it is used as an analogy to 'soul'. It represents a person's self-awareness, feelings, emotions, personality, thinking, world cognition, etc.

Different people look at things from completely different angles, and have completely different personalities, preferences, and expertise, which is why there is a saying that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

Personality, thinking, worldview, etc., are the most important factors that determine a person's "inspiration". Different thinking patterns and perspectives will lead to different results, and there will be different inspirations in creative fields such as painting and writing.

This is true for literary creation, and the same is true for scientific research and design!
By changing his personality, he can design and create from the perspectives of different personalities, which will allow him to never lack inspiration and new ideas.

And with the ability to upgrade skills, as long as he continues to upgrade skills such as mecha engineering, he will never lack knowledge and skills. The only thing he may lack is inspiration and ideas.

The mimetic personality is equivalent to filling this last possible shortcoming, which is enough to make him successful in both literary creation and scientific and technological research and development.

Not only that, personality changes naturally also include aspects such as preferences and cognition.

If you simulate a personality that is extremely fond of reading, a personality that is extremely fond of certain types of knowledge, and a personality that is full of strong curiosity, do you still need to worry about being unable to concentrate on learning and research and development?
Interest is the best mentor. His strong interest and curiosity can completely transform him into an almost paranoid fanatical scholar and researcher when needed.

Furthermore, aren’t personality concepts, interests, etc. a reflection of talent?

The same brain, when its interests, pursuits, energy, and thinking patterns are all focused on a certain aspect, will naturally perform better in that aspect.

So to a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to call the skill of Mimic Personality a magical skill.

This is just the initial skill.

Don't forget that the biggest use of his light blue panel is to upgrade his skills.

Now it seems like it's just simulating mental illness, but what if it goes up to a few more levels?
By then, even if the purpose remains the same, it will probably be the same as a superpower, right?
"Try?"

Lin Yu suddenly became itchy after realizing the beauty of it.

He immediately tied up Rupert and then tried to use his skills. The performance of mimicry personality is indeed more like a special ability. It is not knowledge and experience, but an instinctive behavior like breathing and walking.

At the same time, it cannot modify the personality at will. The meaning of mimicry is obvious, it is to simulate a certain goal, so all it can do is create desires and needs, so that the personality changes on its own in the desired direction.

It can only be said that it is indeed very similar to the form of split personality caused by escape, except that the mimetic personality is not a split, but a simulation.

"Then let's start with a personality that is more capable of fighting. A mecha is just a mecha, and its body still lacks the ability to protect itself. Moreover, driving a body-sensory interactive mecha itself requires sufficient fighting ability..."

Lin Yu quickly thought of his goal.

Since he has fallen out with Rupert's human trafficking organization, a fierce battle is inevitable, so he naturally tries to improve his combat effectiveness first.

He couldn't hide in the mecha all the time.

Moreover, Breaking Dawn does not have any long-range weapons. The biggest advantage of this first-generation mecha is its thick armor and powerful strength. Coupled with the somatosensory and myoelectric interaction modes, the melee combat capability is indispensable.

"Good at melee combat... brave..."

As soon as the thought occurred, it was as if the mind was boiling. Countless memories, ideas, and thoughts began to flow out, combining and associating on their own, without any rules, and completely turned into a raging brainstorm.

Speaking of bravery, heroes inexplicably come to mind, and heroes are inexplicably related to various historical figures, generals and generals.

Then he subconsciously wanted the best, and then thought of the best general in the world.

There are also a lot of messy images of "No. 1 Under Heaven" in his mind, but the common ones impressed him, a mere passerby who is not a history buff, more deeply, and the images are clearer and more intuitive...

Lin Yu clearly felt that various changes gradually began to occur in his heart. The thoughts and memories tumbling in his mind became fewer and fewer, and the pictures that emerged finally settled on a vague image.

"Bu has been wandering for half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master. If he doesn't abandon me, I would like to worship him... ah bah."

Such a sentence suddenly popped into my mind, and I even blurted it out subconsciously.

Lin Yu trembled, forcibly restraining this inexplicable impulse, slamming the table, and said angrily: "A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"

Air……

A silence.

Two strange eyes fell on him like daggers.

"What are you looking at? I just suddenly thought of a line from a movie or TV show."

Lin Yu glared back at Rupert with a dark face.

After saying that, he realized that what he called himself was a bit strange, so he closed his mouth and, no matter what else, he took a closer look at his state.

First of all, his most original consciousness is clear.

But this kind of sobriety is more like the deepest clarity. Externally, his thinking, personality, and concepts have undergone great changes.

If he does not deliberately restrain or withdraw from the current state, his current behavior is driven by the influence of this new personality. If he intentionally restrains, his own personality and will can gain the upper hand or return to the original state at any time.

"So, my current mimicry personality is..."

Recalling the unpleasant impulse just now, Lin Yu's face twitched slightly again.

Not surprisingly, he is now probably the best military general in the world who likes to be worshiped as his adoptive father.

Of course, it's just the one he 'thinks'.

After all, the personality is just fictional and changed according to the impression in his mind.

For this man, apart from his title as the 'No. 1 Military General of the Three Kingdoms', his impression and cognition only left various ghostly scenes of worshiping him as a foster father. No wonder he had the urge to blurt it out just now.
