Chapter 428: Chapter 203: Planetary Action (Congratulations Sect Leader Ran Family Dam)
(âGreetings to Sect Leader He,â from the Ran Family stronghold! Hereâs an additional update for you!)â)
Rodrick, a Grand Chief Mechanical Master who was infinitely close to becoming an Ace, turned his head slightly, his eyes carrying a hint named danger.
âWho are you?â
The maintenance worker with a face full of stubble and grease casually laughed, âIâm just a maintenance worker from the Polar Training Ground, sir. Youâve always been focused on the Extreme Special Soldiers, how would you notice me?â
Suddenly, Rodrickâs right hand rose, and a huge-caliber, light blue coated hand cannon appeared, its dark muzzle pointing directly at the scruffy maintenance worker at the doorway.
âState your identity, or you wonât make it out of this doorway.â
Anyone with the status of a Quasi-Ace Mechanical Master would have a number of lives in their hands.
Now, the tone of this maintenance worker didnât match his purported identity at all; if he didnât disclose it, Rodrick wouldnât hesitate for a moment.
He would blast the man in front of him, still wearing a fake smile, to pieces, and then have robots sweep him out.
After all, on a scarcely regarded small planet like Cold Land Star, law and morality were never as solid as fists.
Feeling the killing intent from the Grand Chief Mechanical Master, the maintenance worker calmly raised his hands and casually said, âBelieve me, my friend, you wonât shoot, because shooting wouldnât benefit you or⊠your family in any way.â
âRepeat that?â
Rodrick, this mild-mannered middle-aged man who had previously held his murderous intent in check, now resembled a furious lion!
âCalm down, Lord Rodrick, please sit~~ No rush, we need to talk slowly and stay calm, right?â
With a mocking look in his eyes, the maintenance worker spoke slowly; seeing Rodrickâs frantic and furious appearance, he revealed a smirk.
The muzzle in Rodrickâs hand pointed straight at him, and he slowly sat down, saying word by word:
âGo ahead. There are no monitors in this room, and the soundproofing is of standard class one.â
The maintenance worker laughed heartily and pulled an item from his chest, âWe should have started with this. We want to cooperate with you, so you can be at ease. Um, let me show you first; itâll make it easier to continue our conversation.â
With a press of his finger, a holographic screen suddenly popped up.
In the holographic light and shadows, a gentle-looking young woman and a cute little boy were tied to chairs, with cloth gags in their mouths.
Behind them were shadows; all were black-clothed, masked men wielding guns.
Rodrick was very familiar with the background; it was a riverfront villa he bought on Blue Capital Star.
âBang!â
Enraged, the Chief Mechanical Master threw his hand cannon at the other man, but the maintenance worker easily dodged it with a shake of his head.
The hand cannon hit the wall with a loud thud, then fell powerlessly to the carpet.
âTake your time, watch it.â
âDaddy, daddy⊠uh.â
âRodrâŠâ
Two dark gun barrels were pressed against the mother and sonâs heads.
But the painful looks in their eyes as they struggled incessantly haunted the middle-aged man.
There was no need to question; those were his wife and son.
The screen went off.
The maintenance worker put away the device and said with feigned interest, âIt looks like Lord Rodrick no longer needs to verify the authenticity of the video. Shall we discuss our cooperation now, Mr. Rodrick?â
âSpeak.â
The Chief Mechanical Masterâs eyes calmed down, but deep inside, a fierce rage still lingered.
âHehe, donât harbor ill feelings against me, itâs just business, five billion Star Coins. After you resign, weâll arrange another important position for you, involving both money and power.â
âWhat business?â
âThe secrets of the Extreme Special Soldier Mechas.â
âI donât know anything about it.â
âTsk~~ Thatâs not interesting. Your wife and son are still waiting for you to return.â His small image projector tossed casually up and down in his hand.
âI told you, I truly donât know. Iâm only in charge of testing; the Extreme Special Soldier Mechas are not located at the Polar Training Ground, they are always delivered by an unfamiliar spaceship.â
This time, the maintenance workerâs face showed surprise, âOh? That seems different from the intelligence. Does Loki Heavy Industry still have a deeper secret base, or are you not telling the truth, Lord?â
The video started again, showing the little boy being harshly hit on the neck with the butt of a gun, passing out without even a gasp.
The previously calm young woman suddenly started shaking violently.
The screen disappeared.
With a crash, Rodrick stood up, his eyes bloodshot.
âDonât hurt my family anymore! I told you I really donât know!â
âOh, it looks like he really doesnât know, then weâll have to proceed with the second plan.â
âIn that case, Lord RodrickâŠâ
Outside, the cold wind was piercing; inside, the lights were bright at this inconspicuous base on the Cold Land Star.
Rodrick, the Grand Chief Mechanical Master of Loki Heavy Industry, forcefully suppressed his inner anger and fear as he listened to a person, whose face had yet to reveal, meticulously narrate a plan dubbed âPlanet Operation.â
Outside the training ground, the cold wind howled, and in the quiet universe, a spaceship quietly sailed toward this location.
âŠ
At Dingchuan Academy, in the building exclusive to Mecha Academy, this time Mu Fan didnât pay attention to Black but plunged straight in.
From now on, in the internet battles conducted in the cockpit simulator, what he needed to do was continuously improve his skills and then learn those opponentsâ mecha maneuvers.
Today his main task wasâŠ
Er, to rise to Bronze 2 Star.
Yes, Mu Fan decided to rise to Bronze 2 Star, a strategy he had set before going to sleep last night.
Entering the familiar room, the other two machines were already operational; the two persons had arrived earlier than Mu Fan who was attending the tournament and naturally they entered the internet first.
Welcome Player âShuraâ to the campus network, do you want to choose ranked battle?
Yes!
Mu Fan decisively confirmed.
[Current ranked battle record: 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses. 6 more battles needed to complete the rating, after which more mecha options will be unlocked.]
Mu Fanâs eyes lit up, a prompt appeared; could he finally rid himself of those horrifying three new models?
Thinking this, Mu Fan excitedly chose to enter the game.
The mecha was still âWild Boarâ; this time, without hesitation, Mu Fan felt the energy in his stomach constantly surging forth.
He needed to use this real cockpit to simulate the physical release during pressure and sprinting.
Opponent âLonewolf Teaching 01â?
What kind of name was that?
âŠ
In the second training room of the Mecha Club.
In a team training room of ten, a thin and tall student with a cloth tied around his head and small mustache stood in the front, speaking in a seemingly serious tone, but his eyes occasionally gleamed like a ratâs.
Below, five young men were sitting obediently listening to his lecture.
âAs an elder member of the Mecha Club, the courses I, Lange, provide have always been professional; so far, I have trained seven excellent sessions of students, and you are the eighth.â
The five young men nodded obediently; they were all from other majors.
But piloting mechas, fighting under the sky, thatâs a dream filled with excitement every boy has in his childhood!
Though they were assigned other majors upon admission to Ding Chuan, nobody could kill the romance this experience brought to these young men.
These five had one thing in common, they were all brought here by private chat pop-ups they received while browsing the campus mecha forum.
âMecha Club expert âRandom Lonewolfâ personal coaching, perfectly trained seven sessions of students. Want to experience the romance of manhood? Want to drive a steel giant and make enemies cry under you? Want to use your strong and hard capabilities to conquer men and women around you? If you do, then youâre the next Brother Wolf.â
Lange smiled warmly at the five new recruits sitting below, who had just feigned illness to join, and nodded in satisfaction. Even if he gave half of the income to his leader, the rest he pocketed were quite generous. These were all students he had diligently scammed, no, carefully âselected.â
Another extra income registered.
âCome on, remember the key points of the lecture I just gave, now Sid, you go first and demonstrate.â
âOkay!â
A confident young man stood up and entered the Virtual Cabin.
