Chapter 56: Mecha God of War
Not mentioning the guns and ammunition filled to the brim, as well as piles of equipment, the most valuable in this harvest was a box of potions.
Rapid antifibrinolytic potions, gene-enhancing potions, cell vitality potions… and several other unnamed potions. But what they were certain was that every potion was worth a lot.
Purple Rose and Lin Yun squeezed together on the passenger seat hugging the potion box. They refuse to let go of it. The others sat on top of the car as they made fun of Purple Rose’s money-grubbing behavior.
Finally, she couldn’t help but shout, “What do you smelly men know about it? Money grubbers manage household affairs best!”
“Hahahaha!” Hearing that, everyone burst into laughter.
A group of them chatted and laughed. The mood was in stark contrast to when they just arrived. Finally, the truck arrived at the Skynet’s range. The convertible jeep was right before their eyes.
“We finally entered Skynet’s range. Let’s stop for a while. I’ll connect to Skynet and hand the mission over,” the captain said as he put a launcher on his head.
After a while, the captain took the launcher off slowly.
“How is it, Boss? How much did we get?” Purple Rose extended her head out of the window and asked anxiously.
The captain looked at everyone’s expectant eyes and revealed a smile.
“The difficulty of this mission was increased due to the involvement of three ghost soldiers. Hence, the rewards also increased. Also, the Contribution Points originally given to the other two teams were all transferred to us.”
Seeing the captain’s rare smile and hearing his explanation, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
“How many Contribution Points did we get, then?” Gambler asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
The captain raised his right hand and said with a slightly agitated tone, “5,000 Contribution Points!”
Sssssi!
Everyone’s rapid inhalation sounded at the same time. The number shocked everyone.
The Purple Rose suddenly carried Lin Yun and placed a purple kiss mark on his face. “Great, I’m a rich woman!”
Lin Yun’s cheeks turned slightly numb. Looking at the excited Purple Rose, he wiped his face and smiled awkwardly.
“Let me calculate the exchange rate. How much is it in Alliance Dollars?” Gambler took out a mini-computer and tapped on it.
“Wahaha! I’m rich!” One-eyed waved his fists as he bounced on the roof of the car.
“What’s with the excitement? Haven’t you seen money before?” Drunkard teased. His hand trembled slightly as he held a cigarette.
The captain smiled. “Don’t get excited first. How do you think we should distribute the Contribution Points?”
“Captain, we’ll listen to you!” Everyone’s attention was on the captain.
“In this case, we will follow the old rules. Whoever contributes the most will take more. The others will receive it in equal amounts. Lin Yun, 1,000 Contribution Points. The others, 800 Contribution Points. Any objections?”
“No. Lin Yun saved us twice. Taking down the Demon stronghold was his idea as well. Even 1,000 Contribution Points is considered little.” Drunkard joked.
“You can give him some of your Contribution Points. No one will stop you.” One-eyed argued habitually.
Hearing that, Lin Yun was very excited. 1,000 Contribution Points meant 1,000 EXP. He could upgrade his Stacking Art and exchange for some potions on Skynet. He could even save the EXP to prepare for leveling up.
“In that case, I will allocate the Contribution Points to you.” The captain put on the Skynet launcher again.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and connected to the Skynet. He looked at his Contribution Points and suddenly realized he had 1,823 points!
Why are there so many?
After thinking for a while, Lin Yun reacted. He killed ghost soldiers and blasted two sand dune tanks, both of which meant Contribution Points. In addition to the 1,000 Contribution Points, his Contribution Points skyrocketed instantly.
Without hesitation, Lin Yun upgraded the Stacking Art.
“Stacking Art (Able to evolve): Choose certain attributes to temporarily multiply. Duration: 10 seconds. This skill is evolved from Stacking Skill.
Current level: 2. 30% chance to launch a double attack. 20% chance to launch a triple attack. 10% chance to launch a quadruple attack. 40% chance of failure.
Skill Cooldown: 5 minutes.
The next level requires 200 EXP.”
“Quadruple attack!” Lin Yun was shocked. He upgraded it again without thinking. It seemed that the EXP required for each upgrade was twice that of the previous one. Raising the Stacking Art to Level 5, Lin Yun only had 323 Contribution Points left. His current Stacking Art was heaven-defying.
“Stacking Art (Able to evolve): Choose certain attributes to temporarily multiply. Duration: 10 seconds. This skill is evolved from Stacking Skill.
Current level: 5. 40% chance to launch a double attack. 30% chance to launch a triple attack. 20% chance to launch a quadruple attack. 10% chance of failure.
Skill Cooldown: 5 minutes.
The next level requires 1,600 EXP.”
Lin Yun was unable to think calmly in his excitement. He exited Skynet.
Just as he opened his eyes, Lin Yun saw Drunkard’s questioning eyes.
“Lin Yun, what do you think?”
“Aye, sorry. I didn’t hear you just now.” Lin Yun ruffled his hair and chuckled.
“It’s not surprising. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by happiness when you receive so many Contribution Points. The captain asked if you would like to exchange Contribution Points with him.”
Drunkard continued his explanation, “Our truckload of stuff can be exchanged for Contribution Points at the human base. In particular, this box of potions, conservatively estimated, can be exchanged for 5,000 Contribution Points. Because it’s not dangerous, the captain usually goes with one team member. You have never been to a human base, that’s why we’re asking if you want to go.”
Does that mean there are still Contribution Points to be gained?
Lin Yun nodded and replied, “No problem. I’ve never been to the human base. It’s good to take a look.”
Hearing that, Drunkard stuck his head out of the window and shouted, “Captain, Lin Yun will go with you. We’ll be home drinking and waiting for your good news.”
The Captain appeared calm and nodded slightly. The others got onto the convertible jeep and parted ways with them.
The captain sat in the driver’s seat, holding the steering wheel, and said calmly, “It’s quite a distance to the human base. If you’re tired, you can sleep for a while.”
Lin Yun nodded, closed his eyes, and connected to the Skynet. He wanted to check if Feng Ke was online.
When he connected to Skynet, Lin Tianhao was elated. Although Feng Ke was not online, his father Lin Tianhao was.
He immediately sent a call request to his father. His father’s smile appeared in front of Lin Yun. Looking at his father’s white hair, his eyes were filled with tears.
“Father!” Lin Yun’s sobbed.
“Lin Yun, you look good.” Lin Tianhao’s voice was low and powerful as usual.
“Yes. I’ve leveled up my Physical Strength to Level 5. I want to participate in the mecha warrior training and become a mecha warrior!” Lin Yun looked at his father, waiting for his response.
Lin Tianhao’s eyes quivered. He froze slightly, as if remembering something, then sighed deeply.
“Lin Yun, since you want to become a mecha warrior, don’t set mecha warrior as your goal.”
“Don’t set mecha warrior as my goal?” Lin Yun looked at his father, confused.
“Do you know? The highest title of a mecha warrior is called Mecha God of War!?”
Lin Yun asked curiously, “What’s Mecha God of War? I only heard of the Mecha God from the Human Mecha Regiment. Why haven’t I heard of Mecha God of War?”
Lin Tianhao appeared solemn as he said slowly, “Mecha God of War is the highest honor for mecha warriors. This title means that one is invincible in the universe when operating their own mecha.”
Invincible in the universe? Lin Yun felt it was incredible. Although mechas were very powerful, it couldn’t possibly defeat a Planet Refiner, right? Moreover, it couldn’t beat a Planet Refiner? What’s more, the plasma cannon of Stellar-class and Galaxy-level space warships could completely blow up mechas into space fragments.
As if understanding Lin Yun’s doubts, Lin Tianhao continued to explain, “The mechas you have come across were just ordinary mechas. The Mecha God of War’s mecha is the quintessence of the highest technology of the Human Alliance. They are different from the ordinary mechas you see. However, the title, Mecha God of War, is not achieved by the performance of the mecha. Even if the Mecha God of War operates ordinary mechas, they have the power to go head-on with Planet Master Refiners.”
Lin Yun was shocked by his father’s words. The possibility of ordinary mechas against Planet Master Refiners. This possibility depended on the powerful destructive power of the plasma laser sword. However, relying on this strength, the Planet Master Refiner could completely destroy a mecha from afar. This possibility was like a sparrow holding a fruit knife that was capable of killing a fierce eagle.
However, from Lin Yun’s memory, Lin Tianhao had never lied to him. So, he believed in his father’s words.
“If your target is simply a mecha warrior, you might not even pass the test for reserve mecha warriors. Men should aspire to go higher! If you want to do something, you should do your best!”
Lin Tianhao’s words ignited the passion in Lin Yun’s heart. It made him passionate.
Lin Yun nodded slowly and promised. “Don’t worry, father. I will do my best. I’m farming Contribution Points at Red Coal Planet. When I get up to Level 6, I will take part in the Mecha Warrior Assessment.”
“You’re at Red Coal Planet?”
Lin Tianhao seemed to have thought of something interesting. He broke into a smile. “I think the officer-in-charge is called Du Zi. If you meet him, ask him if it still hurts. I believe he will receive you.”
“If it still hurts?” Lin Yun appeared confused.
“Just ask him that. If he forgot, tell him my name.” As he said that, Lin Tianhao exited Skynet.
