Chapter 338: Give It a Try (Five-in-One)

Zhou Qin breathed a sigh of relief when she finally got away.

She had seen too many such customers, who were usually rich and capable, and she couldn’t afford to offend them.

Then she forced a smile again and asked the big man in front of her very enthusiastically,

“Sir, what can I get for you?”

“Quick, get me a KSW-01 Biological Cell Repair Agent.”

The big man said anxiously.

“Alright!”

Zhou Qin quickly took out a green injection from the counter.

“How much is it?”

The big man hurriedly asked.

“Sir, this medicine is 50,000,000 federal currency. We accept all federal bank cards here.”

Zhou Qin said with a smile.

“50,000,000? Why is it so expensive? Isn’t this medicine only 10,000,000 in the Federation? And it’s 20% off during promotions!”

The big man was stunned when he heard the price.

“Sorry, this is our price here.”

Zhou Qin shook her head and replied.

“Are you a black market store?”

The big man said angrily.

“Sir, we are a legitimate store, please don’t speak nonsense.”

Zhou Qin’s mouth twitched immediately, and she forced a smile as she spoke.

“Hmph, am I speaking nonsense? Isn’t your price extortionate?”

The big man also questioned sharply.

After hearing the big man’s words, Zhou Qin was helpless. She even suspected that she hadn’t checked the almanac before going out today, encountering another difficult customer.

So she turned her head and shouted inside,

“Supervisor Zheng Xi!”

At this moment, a greasy middle-aged man with a beer belly and a white shirt walked over and asked Zhou Qin,

“What’s the matter?”

“Sir, can you attend to this customer? He thinks our store’s medicine is expensive.”

Zhou Qin explained to Supervisor Zheng Xi.

“Oh, so that’s it! Actually, it’s not expensive.”

Supervisor Zheng Xi turned to the big man and explained with a chuckle.

“Not expensive? It’s not expensive, just a little bit extortionate.”

The big man in front of him was also angered to laughter.

Zheng Xi frowned immediately upon hearing the big man’s words and said,

“Sir, please mind your words. We are a legitimate shop, and all our goods are clearly priced!”

“I only have 10,000,000. I’m in a hurry to save someone. Just sell it to me cheaper.”

The big man replied anxiously.

“Sir, if you can afford it, buy it. If you can’t, there’s nothing I can do. The price is just that expensive.”

Zheng Xi said with a very firm attitude.

“I only have that much money, you have to sell it whether you want to or not!”

The big man directly took out a large stack of 10,000 federal currency bills, placed them on the counter, grabbed the medicine, and ran out.

“Robbery! Catch him quickly!”

Zheng Xi shouted in anger.

At this moment, a security guard at the door immediately rushed up and grabbed the big man’s arm, and the two began to struggle.

Then the pharmacy’s security captain rushed out from inside.

Su Ming saw the situation and walked over calmly, blocking the security captain’s path, and tripped him with his foot.

Bang!

The security captain fell directly to the ground.

At this moment, the big man suddenly kicked the security guard, broke free, and ran off with the medicine, disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, Supervisor Zheng Xi walked angrily to Su Ming, and said in an unfriendly tone,

“Sir, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Purposefully what? Your person stepped on my foot. I haven’t even sought trouble with you, and you’re turning around and blaming me. Is this how you treat customers?”

Su Ming replied with interest.

“Sir, if you are a customer, we certainly welcome you, but I don’t think you are a customer. You look more like that guy’s accomplice.”

Zheng Xi said to Su Ming very angrily.

“You are slandering me. This is a very serious matter.”

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Xi, saying,

“Whether I’m slandering you or not, it’s not for you to say. Later, you and your accomplice won’t be able to escape.”

Zheng Xi snorted coldly and replied.

“Alright, I’ll wait.”

Su Ming replied very calmly.

Soon, a rapid sound of footsteps came, followed by five patrol guards in second-generation exoskeleton armor, led by a strong middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

“Captain Wu, you’re finally here. This person, along with a second lieutenant, stole medicine from our store.”

Zheng Xi quickly stepped forward and said.

“Clearly, your person stepped on my foot and tripped himself. Now you’re slandering me as an accomplice. You really have a lot of guts.”

Su Ming replied very calmly.

Captain Wu Yang looked up and down at Su Ming, who was wearing casual clothes, and suddenly felt a bit familiar, then politely asked,

“Sir, please show your identification.”

“Here!”

Su Ming took out his officer card and handed it to Wu Yang.

Wu Yang just glanced at it and immediately saluted,

“Commander!”

Zheng Xi’s expression instantly froze when he heard Wu Yang’s words, and his heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, Su Ming calmly said to Wu Yang,

“Captain Wu Yang, I will handle things here. You can take your team and leave.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Wu Yang was just unsure how to handle it.

Now that Su Ming had spoken, he quickly led his team away.

Zheng Xi watched Wu Yang and the others leave, then angrily said to Su Ming,

“Don’t think that just because your rank is high, we will be afraid of you. Our Vox Biological Group is not to be trifled with!”

“I know, your Vox Biological Group is so famous, how could I not know? But what can that do?”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“You—”

Zheng Xi was furious upon hearing this and was about to curse when a pleasant voice came.

“Supervisor Zheng, you may step down.”

Su Ming turned his head and followed the voice, only to see a woman in a cyan cheongsam, with picturesque features, ethereal and graceful, and eyes like stars, walking over.

When Zheng Xi saw the woman, he greeted her nervously,

“Miss Olisa.”

Olisa did not look at Zheng Xi, but smiled gently at Su Ming and said,

“Commander, I think there must have been some misunderstanding about what just happened.”

“Misunderstanding? I don’t think this matter is as simple as a misunderstanding, is it? Let’s not even talk about your people slandering me. Just considering the prices of these medicines, don’t you think they’re too expensive?”

“Commander, regarding the price of the medicine, please understand. We also know that the price is slightly higher than within the Federation, but as you know, we do business on ships, bearing great risks, and incurring large labor costs.”

“I know all that you’ve said. If you just raised the prices appropriately, even by one or two times, I wouldn’t say much. But the prices of your medicines are five times higher!”

“Commander, you may not be aware that the Federation’s pricing for medicines is very low. Due to environmental degradation, medicines are very scarce, and related cultivation is extremely difficult. Our company has invested huge sums of money to cultivate medicines.”

“If someone else said these things, I might believe them. But I know very well that the truth is not like that at all. The so-called costs and prices are all reported by your Vox Biological Group after monopolizing the market! I know very well that your Vox Biological Group has the confidence to set these prices, and I understand that you have no trouble selling them.”

“But I want to remind you of one thing: we are currently in a period of war. Selling at such high prices will only kill those brave soldiers fighting. One day, the contradictions will be completely intensified. At that time, it will not be a matter of profit or loss, but a matter of whether you can establish yourselves. Your current actions are cutting off your own retreat.”

Su Ming didn’t believe Olisa’s words at all. Teacher Mia had already exposed all of Vox Biological Group’s secrets in front of them.

Olisa was also surprised to hear Su Ming’s words. She didn’t expect the young officer in front of her to have such insight.

Then she replied very politely,

“Commander, what you said makes a lot of sense, but the pricing of medicines is not up to me, but set by the group company, and I cannot change it. However, the medicine that officer just took, I can sell it to him at the original price, and we can consider the matter settled.”

“Alright.”

Su Ming did not pursue the matter further, and this issue was resolved satisfactorily.

If Olisa reported this incident casually, that second lieutenant would at least be disciplined, and at worst, he would probably be discharged from the military, and might even be imprisoned for several years.

“May I know your name, Commander? Do you have time? I’d like to invite you to dinner. Would you do me the honor?”

Olisa smiled and invited him.

“My name is Su Ming. As for dinner, let’s not. I already have an appointment. Thank you for your kind offer.”

Su Ming replied indifferently.

“That’s truly a pity. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to dine together next time.”

Olisa’s eyes also showed a slight ripple when she heard Su Ming’s words.

“We’ll see. I’ll take my leave first.”

After a simple farewell, Su Ming turned and left.

Olisa stood quietly in place, watching Su Ming’s departing back.

At this moment, Supervisor Zheng Xi asked somewhat unwillingly,

“Miss, are we just going to let this matter go? I just checked, he’s only a Major. When has our Vox Biological Group ever suffered such a loss? Even those big shots in the council always give us some face.”

“This matter ends here. The reason I am willing to compromise is not because of his identity, but because of what he said.”

Olisa said, somewhat moved.

“This—”

Zheng Xi was also stunned when he heard Olisa’s words.

—

Three days later, Dark Star Empire · Bergs Lun Defense Line.

Starfall Planetary Fortress.

At the enormous Interstellar Airport, Grey Falcon mechs were flying low and rapidly across the ground.

Urgent voices constantly echoed through the public communication channel.

“Quick!”

“Assemble at Sector 7.”

At this moment, a solemn broadcast echoed throughout the Interstellar Airport.

“Ground crew attention, Star Destroyer · Black Death is about to land.”

As the broadcast echoed through every corner of the airport, a deafening roar came from the sky.

A Star Destroyer, 170 kilometers long, with a body of dark armor and faint, twisted patterns, a black Meteor Cannon extending from its bow, and dense rows of neat launch ports distributed along its hull, descended majestically from the sky.

Boom~

As the Star Destroyer · Black Death landed, Level 5 Battleships also began to slowly descend from the sky.

The scene was incredibly shocking!

“Hurry up! Check the supplies of all docked ships!”

“Replenish them all to full capacity!”

The Imperial Army logistics personnel were working at full capacity.

At this moment, in the magnificent hall, Hodekas sat on the throne, resting his head on his left hand.

In front of Hodekas, a grid of virtual projections appeared.

The central grid projection showed the descending Star Destroyer · Black Death, while the other grid projections showed returning Level 5 Battleships.

At this moment, Hodekas raised his hand and waved, revealing six communication images.

At this time, the heavily wrinkled, decrepit, and very loose-skinned ruler of Ulakahn Neutral Country · King Kabife, respectfully said,

“Lord Hodekas, I have already assembled my country’s strongest corps, the Slaughter Corps, and dispatched the Level 5 Battleship · Slaughter and the Level 5 Battleship · Hyena God.”

At this moment, the ruler of Kudike Neutral Country · King Kawasi, whose temples were slightly gray but who looked very strong, immediately stated,

“Lord Hodekas, our country has also reassembled the Heavy Hammer Corps, and dispatched the Level 5 Battleship · Heavy Hammer.”

“My Fabidun Neutral Country has not only redeployed the Rock Corps, but also mobilized the country’s Nightingale Corps.”

The ruler of Fabidun Neutral Country · King Greer and others hurriedly said to Hodekas,

“Very good! After the Federation is eliminated, the Empire will reward you handsomely!”

Hodekas was very satisfied with the forces assembled by the six countries. These fence-sitters finally brought out their hidden reserves.

“Thank you, Lord Hodekas.”

Everyone replied with great joy.

Just then, the closed door slowly opened, and a big man, 2.8 meters tall, wearing heavy black Four-Generation Mecha, with a wild appearance, cruel eyes, and a tattooed beast pattern on his neck, walked in with two other figures.

The figure following on the left rear was a short man with a deformed face, yellow teeth, and eyes like a venomous snake.

The figure on the right rear was a woman with blindfolded eyes, skin as fair as jade, elegant in her movements, and an incredibly beautiful appearance.

The burly man leading them was none other than Legion Commander Kaiges of the Dark Star Empire’s Fourth Phantom Legion, and the two individuals behind him were Royal Knights members Palit and Karinlo.

“Commander, the troops drawn from various areas of the defense line have assembled!” Kaiges saluted Hodekas and said with a stern expression.

“Very good, Kaiges, this time you will lead the team to Slok Star Sea to cooperate with the six Neutral Countries’ forces in eliminating that Federal force.”

“Yes!”

“Remember my words, do not underestimate them! This newly formed Thirteenth Corps is very cunning and their combat power is considerable!” Hodekas instructed Kaiges.

“Understood.”

“But you don’t need to worry, I will give you the Star Destroyer · Black Death, and I will also send two more Royal Knights members to accompany you on the expedition.”

“I will certainly not fail the Commander’s expectations, and will do my utmost to eliminate them!” Kaiges replied with an oath.

“I await your triumphant return, go!” Hodekas was very satisfied with Kaiges’s answer and waved his hand domineeringly.

— —

Three days later, Slok Star Sea.

Inside Star Radiance Fortress’s central control room.

The Purple-haired girl sat in the command chair, with Lieutenant General Feilong and Major General Vickers waiting on either side.

She spoke coolly, “Is there still no movement from Aus’s side?”

“No, Aus’s side has shown no reaction to the supply line being cut.

And he has also restrained other restless corps; it seems he is determined not to move!” Major General Vickers reported respectfully.

“This is troublesome.

If the Imperial Army doesn’t move, we will be very passive!

Although we took down their supply line, we won’t be able to hold on for long.” Lieutenant General Feilong replied, clearly having a headache.

“The problem is that the Imperial Army keeps sending scouts to reconnoiter us.

Now, we eliminate one wave and another comes, and then there’s no more movement.

I really don’t know what they’re trying to do?” Vickers said, rubbing his temples.

Listening to their words, the Purple-haired girl gently tapped the armrest with her right index finger, lost in thought.

At this moment, the door of the command room suddenly opened.

Major General Jon walked in hurriedly, saying to the Purple-haired girl with a solemn expression, “Legion Commander, urgent military intelligence.”

“Speak!” the Purple-haired girl replied calmly.

Jon quickly reported, “According to information sent back by our undercover comrades, Commander Hodeska, who guards the Dark Star Empire’s Bergs Lun Defense Line, has mobilized a large number of troops, led by the Star Destroyer · Black Death, and dispatched a large fleet to attack us.

Moreover, the six Neutral Countries allied with the Dark Star Empire in Donao Star Sea have assembled nearly ten million troops for a coordinated operation.”

“So many troops? They’re preparing to encircle us!” Major General Vickers’s expression immediately changed slightly.

“No, with so many troops, we can’t win at all.

Once we’re surrounded, it’s over!” Lieutenant General Feilong said, finding the situation difficult.

“What should we do now?

If we retreat now, we would indeed have made a huge profit.

But the troops besieged in Sky Dome City won’t be saved, which means our plan this time has failed.” Major General Vickers replied, extremely unwilling.

Lieutenant General Feilong and the others fell silent upon hearing this.

At this moment, the Purple-haired girl calmly said, “Although I also don’t want to give up, the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is indeed too great.

We can only give up now.

Transmit my order to evacuate Slok Star Sea.”

“Yes!” Lieutenant General Feilong and the others responded in a deep voice.

Inside the house’s living room.

Su Ming sat in a reclining chair, browsing his wristband while tossing a grape from his hand.

Boat Spirit darted out at high speed, caught the grape with its mouth, chewed it up with smacking sounds, swallowed it, then excitedly stuck out its small tongue, squatting on the ground, waiting for Su Ming to feed it.

Just then, Su Ming’s wristband vibrated, and a message popped up.

“Urgent military order: Star Radiance Fortress will initiate superluminal flight and depart Slok Star Sea in three hours.

All personnel enter alert status.”

Upon seeing this message, Su Ming immediately sent a message to Rhine and the others, telling them to gather at Training Ground No. 3.

He then stood up, tossed the entire bunch of grapes to Boat Spirit, and didn’t forget to instruct it before leaving, “Little Grey, stay home, don’t run around!”

Little Grey nodded obediently.

Su Ming then hurried out of the house, and as he walked onto the street, he ran into Hegas.

Hegas asked with a dark expression, “Did you get the message?”

“I did.

Are we retreating?”

“Probably.

I just called Hugh Eun, and it seems the Imperial Army homeland and the six Neutral Countries have jointly dispatched a massive force to encircle us.”

“I know, let’s talk as we walk.” Su Ming said to Hegas.

“Mm!” Hegas responded in a low voice.

Training Ground No. 3.

Rhine and the others had all assembled, discussing in low voices.

“What happened?”

“Not sure, the way here was full of people gathering.”

“Stop talking, Commander is here!” Deng Yu, with his sharp eyes, saw Su Ming approaching and quickly told everyone.

Rhine and the others all stood at attention.

At this moment, Su Ming walked in front of everyone, scanned them, and said, “Sit down, everyone, let’s have a short meeting.”

Upon hearing this, Rhine and the others sat down on the ground, asking in confusion, “What happened?”

“I just received news that the Imperial Army besieging Sky Dome City hasn’t moved, but the Dark Star Empire homeland and the six Neutral Countries have sent troops to encircle us.” Su Ming explained simply.

“Damn it, no wonder it was so quiet.

These Imperial Army guys still have some brains.” Rhine said with a dark face, complaining.

“Squad Leader, what do we do now?” Ankajia asked curiously.

“The order from above has been given: in three hours, Star Radiance Fortress will set sail into superluminal flight and leave Slok Star Sea.”

“Ah, are we returning now? Aren’t we rescuing them?”

“Probably.” Su Ming replied with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Rhine and the others immediately deflated like punctured balloons, each lowering their heads.

Su Ming looked at the dispirited crowd and said, “Alright, don’t be disheartened!”

“Commander, isn’t it just unwillingness?

We finally won, sacrificed so many comrades, but we didn’t rescue the people, and now we have to flee in disgrace.” Deng Yu said, gritting his teeth, very unwilling.

“It’s normal to be unwilling, but you must understand that reality is often very cruel.” Su Ming said to everyone.

“Yes.” The crowd said, lowering their heads, feeling lost.

“Alright, I won’t say much else.

I’ll arrange things now.” Su Ming said to everyone.

“Commander, tell us!”

“Although Star Radiance Fortress is returning, no one knows what dangers we might encounter on the return journey, or if the enemy will follow and intercept us.

Therefore, we must remain in alert status.

From now on, excluding rest and meal times, everyone will gather at Training Ground No. 3 to practice.

This way, no matter what sudden situation arises, we can respond immediately.”

“Yes, Commander!” Rhine and the others responded seriously.

“Alright, Rhine, you lead the practice.

I’ll watch here!” Su Ming said in a deep voice.

“Okay!” Rhine nodded in response.

In the evening.

Su Ming quietly watched Rhine and the others training.

He glanced at the time on his wristband; it was already 6:30 PM, so it was almost time.

He then called out, “Alright, training ends here.

Everyone go eat!”

Upon hearing this, Rhine and the others returned their mechs to their positions, then each opened their cockpits and jumped out.

“Squad Leader, let’s go eat together.” Rhine and a few others walked over and said to Su Ming.

“Okay!” Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement.

Just as he was about to go to the mess hall with Rhine and the others, a message suddenly popped up on his wristband.

He looked down at it and then said, “Rhine, you guys go eat first.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Something came up temporarily, I need to take care of it.”

“Uh, okay!” Although Rhine was a bit surprised, he didn’t ask further.

Soon after, Star Radiance Fortress · Dock No. 2.

Su Ming took the mobile platform to the Wind Movement, where he saw maintenance technicians operating Iron Head Mechs, holding various tools, working overtime to repair the damaged bridge.

He glanced around and walked towards the hangar’s entrance.

Soon, Su Ming entered the hangar and immediately saw Acala waiting for him with his two apprentices.

“Master, is my mech modified?”

“It’s done, follow me!” Acala said to Su Ming with a smile.

“You’re quite fast, it’s only been a few days.” Su Ming replied, somewhat surprised.

At this moment, the male apprentice behind Acala, who had some freckles on his face and was quite arrogant, spoke up, “Of course it’s fast.

We are ship-borne mechanics!

If our repairs and modifications aren’t fast, how can we manage?

If you lose the battle, we’ll go down with you.”

“What are you saying?

Show some respect!” Acala raised his hand and slapped his apprentice, Chen Liang, on the head.

Chen Liang quickly shut his mouth.

Master Acala then smiled and said to Su Ming, “Young people speak without discretion, don’t mind him.”

“It’s fine.” Su Ming replied with a smile.

Soon, Acala led Su Ming to a mech bay, where a colossal object covered with a black canvas came into view.

“Commander, are you ready?” Acala asked with a smile.

“Mm!” Su Ming looked at the colossal object covered with the black canvas, his blood also feeling a bit agitated.

Master Acala then said, “A Liang, unveil it!”

Chen Liang picked up the remote control and pressed a button.

Several mechanical arms from the top extended down and lifted the black canvas.

A Four-Generation Mecha, 30 meters tall, entirely covered in black armor, with a red moon emblem painted on its left shoulder, two particle beam cannons equipped on its shoulders, two pairs of red and black interwoven mechanical wings embedded in its back, a red faceted metal shield held in its left hand, a scarlet spear held in its right hand, and two particle light blades tucked at its waist, radiating a strong sense of oppression, came into Su Ming’s view.

Su Ming’s eyes lit up as he looked at this mech.

Master Acala then introduced it to Su Ming, “Commander Su Ming, let me formally introduce you to how this mech was modified.”

“Okay!” Su Ming looked at Master Acala with anticipation.

“First, I transferred the Slayer’s GN Device, particle beam cannons, and SAC-01 type scanning device!

Of course, that’s nothing.

The most important point is that I used my proudest dual-synergy technology for the modification.

I transferred the Slayer’s HSC-01 type nuclear fission power device, which means this mech has two fission power devices, providing extremely abundant power!” Master Acala said with great pride.

“Amazing!” Su Ming was very pleasantly surprised to hear this.

“Not only that, I also retained the dual particle light blade slots, so you can use two weapons simultaneously.

Additionally, I transferred the Slayer’s main system to this mech, and optimized and modified it to perfectly match this mech, then repainted it.

I can tell you this: this mech is now completely incomparable to the Four-Generation Mecha · Shadow Killer.” Master Acala said confidently to Su Ming.

“Excellent, I’m very satisfied.” Su Ming immediately felt that the three billion federal currency was well spent.

“Glad you’re satisfied.” Master Acala replied with a smile.

“Master, I’ll transfer the money to you now.”

“No rush, we’ll settle the bill together once the ship is repaired.”

“Okay!” Su Ming replied with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Liang, standing nearby, asked curiously, “Master, aren’t you afraid that if he dies in battle someday, you won’t get your money back?”

Master Acala’s face turned green upon hearing Chen Liang’s words.

He reached out and harshly slapped A Liang’s head, reprimanding him angrily, “What are you saying?!”

He was almost infuriated by this apprentice; his emotional intelligence was truly appallingly low.

“I’m just stating facts.” Chen Liang replied with a wronged expression.

Su Ming watched this scene and offered an awkward smile, saying, “

“It’s fine, I’ll pay you right away.”

“I’m sorry, my apprentice is really stubborn.”

Master Acala replied apologetically.

“It’s a small matter.”

Su Ming took out his phone and transferred the money to Master Acala’s account.

After the operation was completed, Su Ming said to Master Acala.

“I’ll test the mech!”

“Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Commander Su Ming, you’d best not test the mech here. Four-Generation Mecha and Third Generation Mecha are very different, and their destructive power is also very strong. It’s best to test them in a training ground or arena, and it has to be a large one.”

“Alright!”

“Commander Su Ming, where do you want to test the mech? I’ll help you transport it there.”

“Training Ground No. 3!”

“Okay!”

Master Acala nodded slightly in response.

Training Ground No. 3.

At this moment, the vast training ground was empty, with only five Iron Guard Mechs still training there.

Hegas looked at these five Iron Guards and roared angrily.

“Be quick and decisive with your movements, don’t act like women. You can rest and eat when you’ve trained well today. If you don’t train well, you don’t get to eat!”

Just then, Hugh Eun walked over, carrying a plastic bag, and called out.

“Hegas!”

Hegas turned his head and saw that it was Hugh Eun calling him, so he walked over and asked.

“Why are you here?”

“I didn’t see you in the cafeteria, so I came to look for you. What’s going on with those five little guys?”

“Don’t even mention it, these five brats are as clumsy as pigs, no matter how I teach them, they can’t learn. Last time on the battlefield, they almost screwed over their teammates, so I thought I’d give them intensive training to get them up to par, otherwise, they definitely won’t survive the next time they go to the battlefield.”

“Alright, don’t be anxious! I brought food, let’s eat first!”

Hugh Eun comforted Hegas.

“Alright!”

Hegas let out a long sigh and replied.

Hugh Eun then led Hegas to sit on the steps next to the observation deck.

He took out a lunchbox from the bag and opened it, then took out two cans of beer, opened one, and handed it to Hegas.

“Thanks.”

Hegas took it.

“Hegas, you really need to change your temper. Look at Su Ming, even though he’s new, he’s so humble, and he speaks so nicely, everyone likes him.”

Hugh Eun said to Hegas while drinking beer.

Hegas listened to Hugh Eun’s words, silently drinking his beer without a sound.

Hugh Eun continued to speak.

“How many losses have you suffered because of this bad temper? Don’t you have any idea? We graduated from Azure Sky Academy and enlisted at the same time. Now I’m almost a colonel, and you’re still struggling to even become a lieutenant colonel. You’ve offended everyone. When it’s time for promotion, they’ll definitely find all sorts of excuses to deduct your military merits, and there’s no way they’ll let you pass.”

The more Hegas listened, the more annoyed he became, and finally, he said disdainfully.

“If you want me to play along with those guys upstairs, I’d rather resign.”

“Sigh~”

Hugh Eun couldn’t help but sigh when he heard this.

Just then, the ground of the training area to their right suddenly vibrated and cracked, and a metal platform rose up.

Hegas turned his head to look, and when he saw the mech on the metal platform, he immediately spewed out the beer in his mouth.

“Pfft!”

“Am I seeing things?”

“Four-Generation Mecha?”

At this moment, Hugh Eun also turned his head to look, his face instantly filled with astonishment.

“What’s going on? How can there be a Four-Generation Mecha here? And why does this mech look so much like Blood Falcon?”

“What Blood Falcon? Look at this mech’s dual weapons, this looks like a modified mech!”

“Modified mech? Let’s go, let’s go take a look.”

Hugh Eun and Hegas got up and walked over.

They walked to the front of the mech, examining this Four-Generation Mecha from top to bottom.

“Hugh Eun, look quickly! This mech has a Red Moon symbol on its left shoulder?”

Hegas said with great surprise.

“Red Moon? I have a bad feeling.”

Hugh Eun said with a somewhat unsettled expression.

Just then, Su Ming walked over. He saw Hugh Eun and the other person and greeted them.

“Hugh Eun, Hegas, why are you here?”

“We’re looking at this mech. Wait, this mech isn’t yours, is it?”

Hegas asked, dumbfounded.

“Yes, it is.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Hugh Eun then took a deep breath and said to Su Ming.

“You truly are something, to actually have a Four-Generation Mecha.”

“Not at all, I just got it.”

Su Ming replied modestly.

Hugh Eun took a few deep breaths, calming his surging emotions, and then asked.

“Su Ming, have you operated a Four-Generation Mecha before?”

“No!”

“Then have you systematically studied super-neural operation before?”

“No!”

Su Ming replied truthfully.

Hugh Eun frowned slightly upon hearing this and said.

“Su Ming, let me tell you! Starting from Four-Generation Mecha, the operating mode has undergone earth-shattering changes, adopting the NOCY Super-Neural Device. This thing not only requires very high mental strength, but most importantly, people who haven’t studied it simply can’t operate it.”

“This…”

Su Ming also found it difficult when he heard this.

“Then what should Su Ming do?”

Hegas directly asked Hugh Eun.

“It’s easy enough. Su Ming, aren’t you from the same school as Kaff? You can go ask him, let him teach you how to use the super-neural device. He’ll definitely be willing to teach you.”

“Forget it, that’s too much trouble for others. I’ll try it myself first.”

Su Ming thought for a moment and decided to explore it on his own first.

“Alright.”

Seeing Su Ming say this, Hugh Eun didn’t try to persuade him further.

At this moment, the ground crew responsible for the training ground, seeing this scene, gathered around to watch, discussing in astonishment.

“Am I seeing things? Major Su Ming actually has a Four-Generation Mecha!”

“He’s going to get in.”

At this moment, Su Ming walked to the front of the mech, activated the anti-gravity mechanical square tiles beneath his feet, and floated up.

Soon, he opened the cockpit and entered the pilot’s seat.

The entire cockpit was very spacious, with various buttons protruding from the black metal cabin walls.

In the center of the cockpit, there was a mechanical operating chair, equipped with a semi-circular metal device, to which numerous dense wires were connected. All these wires converged behind the pilot’s chair, to a super-neural circular device with countless hollowed-out holes.

Su Ming closed the cockpit and sat directly on the operating chair, and the NOCY Super-Neural Device automatically lowered.

At this moment, Su Ming took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and then pressed the switch.

“Activate!”

In an instant, the super-neural device behind the pilot’s chair suddenly activated, emitting a dazzling purple light.

A huge mental impact instantly surged into Su Ming’s head.

Su Ming’s mind instantly jolted, feeling a slight sting.

However, this was nothing to him. He directly endured it. And when he came back to his senses, his vision immediately underwent an earth-shattering change.

He felt like a giant, looking down at the people in the training ground.

Su Ming’s mind stirred slightly, and an operation interface immediately popped up, with a prompt box appearing on it.

“Please rename!”

“Slayer!”

“Renaming successful.”

A gray prompt box appeared.

Su Ming then called up the specific parameters of this mech.

Su Ming looked at these parameters, very satisfied, and then tried to control the mech to walk forward step by step.

He walked very steadily, and his control became smoother and smoother, then he began to control the mech to run forward.

Bang bang!

Su Ming then controlled the mech to make an emergency stop, bringing the massive mech body to a halt.

Clap clap!

“Commander, you’re amazing!”

The ground crew and others watching at the scene couldn’t help but praise him.

Hegas looked at this scene, full of doubt, and turned to Hugh Eun.

“Hugh Eun, is Su Ming really touching a Four-Generation Mecha for the first time? I heard that Four-Generation Mecha are even harder to control, and people who are just starting out basically can’t control them well, some even fall down.”

“Normally speaking, it should be his first time. You know, Four-Generation Mecha are very rare, it’s hard to even get to touch one.”

Hugh Eun was also a bit unsure.

At this moment, more and more soldiers and officers gathered at Training Ground No. 3 to watch, discussing excitedly.

“It really is a Four-Generation Mecha!”

“This one seems to be a modified mech too? Who’s piloting it?”

“It seems to be Commander Su Ming.”

“Amazing!”

Before long, Rhine and others also rushed over. When they saw Slayer, they said in shock.

“Holy cow! The squad leader really fixed that mech.”

“Awesome!”

At this moment, Su Ming controlled Slayer, activating its jet wings for flight training.

A series of exclamations rang out at the scene.

“Holy cow, he’s activating flight mode so quickly!”

“Isn’t activating flight mode normal?”

“It’s normal, but if it’s your first time touching a Four-Generation Mecha, do you think it’s normal?”

“No way?”

Time passed second by second.

About an hour later, Su Ming had already mastered all the performance of this mech.

He skillfully wielded the Scarlet Spear in the training ground, and the whistling sound of breaking air constantly spread.

Hugh Eun and the others looked at this scene, already too stunned to speak.

At this moment, Su Ming controlled Slayer to stop and shouted to the crowd.

“All spectators, retreat! Retreat to the outermost edge of Training Ground No. 3.”

“Okay.”

Although the people present didn’t quite understand, they still did as Su Ming requested.

Four-Generation Mecha Slayer · Inside the Cockpit.

Su Ming let out a slight breath. After an hour of exploration just now, he had familiarized himself with the operation of the Four-Generation Mecha.

The operation of Four-Generation Mecha and Third Generation Mecha was indeed revolutionary. Because to control a Four-Generation Mecha, as long as a mental command is given, the super-neural device will automatically recognize it, which is extremely sensitive.

This operation completely breaks free from the constraints of traditional operation, making the mech feel like an extension of one’s own body.

However, there are also drawbacks. People who haven’t been trained are prone to visual discomfort, mental chaos, and incorrect command judgments, which greatly interfere with normal operation.

Another point is that operating a Four-Generation Mecha places a very high mental load, making one easily fatigued, but this is not a problem for Su Ming.

Now he wanted to challenge more difficult movements and techniques.
