Chapter 910: Return 2

“Me? I just don’t want to always be on the run, constantly chased by people who want to kill me. I’m just going to settle with building Exclusive Mechs this time with my return. I have already found a processing laboratory and most of the materials, in addition to the stash this time around, I should be able to build a pretty decent body,” Anda explained proudly.

Garen nodded. This bastard really was not bad. If it was not for him, they would not have been able to find where the Mastery Energy Ores were hidden. Come to think of it, Anda was the reason he was able to receive so many benefits. However, listening to the tone of the bastard right this moment, it was clear that he was as experienced as a hunting dog.

At the thought of that, Garen’s expression turned serious and solemn.

“If you ever need any help with other quests like this, feel free to find me and I will try my best if it is within my capability!”

Anda immediately gave him a look of despise.

Actually, the only reason why the both of them got along harmoniously was that they were the same kind of people. Life and death meant nothing to them and they had strong wills, not something an ordinary Pilot was able to relate to.

“To be honest I am still being hunted by my family, and you had offended Fila and the bunch of people. From the look of it, they seem to be related to White Light. You have bigger problems than me, man,” Anda sneered. “The psycho probably came for you, while I was just unlucky enough to be dragged into this mess.”

“Forget about it then!” Garen was speechless. Honestly, he also did not want to be on the run anymore. Now that he was in possession of the Mastery Energy Ores, Blood Silver, and with the materials for the body prepared by Master Fila, he just needed to go back to construct most of the plane’s body. The only thing lacking this moment were the engine skills and materials for the skeletal system.

The energy machinist’s biochemical pool was just right in radiation belt. The Flying Batoid City acted as the largest pool in the radiation belt to have sufficient materials for a biochemical pool, especially the one needed by most — the Stony Heart Cells.

“My body still lacks a proper sensory system and there’s nothing much to do here already, so I’m planning to return to finish up and return to the region in the afternoon. What about you?” Anda asked.

“I still need engine skills and skeletal materials. I will go to the marketplace this afternoon to get some radiation materials, then return after taking care of some other things. No rush at all,” Garen shook his head.

Anda murmured in thought.

“Although we failed the quest this time, we should be satisfied with what we managed to get. The engine skills can be bought, but in terms of materials, more specifically, the materials to construct the skeletal system, I am still missing parts that are needed for the joint. These parts are rare, but I might have a way to get them. Just tell me when the body is finished, we can do a bulk order so it would be cheaper.”

“My goodness, bulk order...” Garen was speechless once again. As elites of the Inner Courtyard, they could exchange technology and materials with their masters. If it was something difficult even for them to acquire, naturally it was harder for the outsiders. Yet Anda even has the nerve to bring up ordering it in bulk as if it was something common.

“Consider it settled then! This is my personal secret connection’s password. Just contact me if you need anything!” Anda gave Garen his contact.

Both of them stood up. Looking at Anda leaving hurriedly, Garen could not help but feel relieved. Although the mission was unsuccessful, the purpose was still achieved indirectly. With a sufficient supply of Blood Silver and Mastery Energy Ores, it was enough for him to create the costly Pilot biochemical pool. With the amount of radiation materials collected, he should be able to create something of excellent quality.

This time, the search for Blood Silver was ridden with all sorts of trouble. It was definitely getting messier outside. The friction between the regions was worsening by the day. Even Level Five powerhouses like them could barely make it back. It was no wonder nobody volunteered to step out the radiation belt.

Just as these thoughts surfaced, Garen could hear the sound of a body’s engine flying overhead. It were three black Mechs slowly flying towards the Flying Batoid City’s landing point. Each of them had a clear Blackboard logo and a large white ‘V’ printed on its side, indicating that they are from the Blackboard region — not from the Blackboard Academy but from other academies.

**********************

The three white-V Mechs touched down slowly. Each Mech was holding a blue triangular shield, and carrying a white sword on its back military-style.

“This is the Flying Batoid City. Both of you must be extremely careful during this trip! Understand?” One of the Mechs said coldly, it was actually a young girl.

“Yes, we understand, big sister.” The other two Mechs quickly responded.

The staff from the Flying Batoid City walked up and received them. They started to clean the three Mechs by removing the excess radiation from their armor and painting the spots which got 6chipped off.

The cabins of the three Mechs opened, and out walked two men and a lady. They were all dressed in blue and white striped radiation suits, their face mask was completely transparent. At first glance, it resembled a space suit and you could see the person’s entire face in it.

“Master Vecil, welcome to the Flying Batoid City once again!” A fat man who literally rolled his way in greeted them with a grinning face.

“Enough, I am not in the mood to exchange courtesies. Just arrange our rooms for us to rest,” the woman-in-charge answered in an icy tone.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Vecil and the duo turned to go but then noticed a black Mech parked in an open space not far away. The Mech’s body was barely recognizable, its armor seemed ruined by a corrosive substance. If it was not the fact that the shape still resembled a Blackboard Mech, it would have been probably been scrapped off.

“Such a body damaged to this extent yet still wanting to fix it? Is this some sort of a joke?” The woman commented scornfully as she turned to exit the hangar.

“Yes, yes, yes, what Master said is...” The fat man agreed repeatedly.

“Huh? Wait, Big Sister!” A young looking teenager among the trio suddenly called out to Vecil who was leading the group. When he looked back inadvertently just now, he actually saw that the broken Mech was exposing some sort of skeletal material that was seemingly better than their body’s material.

“What is it?” Vecil looked back impatiently.

The young boy pointed towards the smashed body with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

“Big sister, that Mech’s skeletal system...” He lowered his voice intentionally.

Just as he pointed out, the other two only realized what stood out. Even though damaged, the Mech’s skeletal system’s material was actually still much better than theirs! The silver white emitted a faint glow of blue – it was obviously coated with an expensive blue gel which could only be seen in Mechs above average. Generally, such materials were difficult to be found in the market. If you had no special connections, there was no way you would be able to snag it.

Vecil also noticed something abnormal about the Mech and her eyes turned bigger.

“That set of broken body looks just exactly like that one we dragged in the last time we were out...how did it end up here!?” She whispered harshly.

“This...” The little fat man did not know anything about this. He and Vendant just minded their own business. They do not maintain a good relationship, and they both don’t even communicate with each other. “I’m not really sure...”

“I will go to check and see. Thank you for helping me to keep this garbage when I dragged it back earlier on. This time around, I’ll drag it back along with me.” Vecil gave a satisfied smile, “I will give you exactly the skills you requested for.”

The trio strolled casually towards the broken black Mech. As they were nearing it, the three of them realized that this destroyed Mech actually used materials comparable to the military’s finest grade. Whether it was the bones, the Willpower transmission tube, or the sensors at each assembled part, everything was specially picked out.

Vecil was getting more satisfied as the minutes passed.

“Come!” She shouted.

“Here, here, here...” The little fat man and a few other maintenance staff ran over straight away.

“Remove these sensors and the Willpower transmission tube from the top, then install it on our body. I can’t believe, the garbage we dragged back last time actually had good parts,” Vecil said with contentment.

Soon, a few of the maintenance staff removed the parts from the black body and fixed them onto the blue body.

“I’ll go have a look!”

The young man beside her pounced at the direction of the elevator platform excitedly, who was then lifted and sent in front of the cabin.

“Open the cabin!” Vecil ordered.

“Big sister, something is weird! There’s air-conditioning in the cabin!” The young man exclaimed loudly.

“Ah?” Vecil scowled. She followed suit and leaped up several meters high, landing on the elevator platform. She looked in through the surface of the transparent armor.

A subordinate beside the little fat man mumbled into his ears.

“Boss, this body was brought in by Vendant and he ordered that the cabin must not be opened. Maybe you should say something?”

“My ass! Ignore him! We should do according to what Master Vecil says! If we end up angering her, she would be unhappy and you know the consequences!” The little fat man’s face was dark.

“But...” The subordinate wanted to say something but was interrupted by the little fat man.

“How long will it take for you to go find Vendant now? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Even if you notified him through the communication device and ask him to come over, what if he stirred things up and cause trouble? Can you afford to bear the consequences?” The little fat man sneered.

Frightened and sweating in fear, the subordinate nodded his head.

“You have to understand, Master Vecil is one of the important VIP in this city! You must not delay her wants and needs!”

At this very moment, Vecil and the other man were standing in front of the cockpit and looking inside.

Vecil’s heart was pounding faster by the second. Through the glass and the white frost, she saw stacks of blue-white dense metal blocks. The blocks were shiny and seemed like they were processed by a factory machine.

“This...this is...is this...!!” She suddenly felt as if a huge chunk of pie fell from the sky and hit her hard. She couldn’t help but feel delirious with joy.

Yes, those were the legendary Mastery Energy Ores that only Pilots could use! One block of that could easily trade for thousands and millions!

After repeatedly confirming her findings, an irrepressible ecstasy from within caused her to smile twistedly. It was a result of her trying to suppress her facial expressions, an absolute contrast to the amount of joy flooding her.

“Let’s go! We must leave the region right away!!” A crazy idea formed in her mind. “As long as we get hold of all these, I will never to worry about my entire life anymore! There will be endless of wealth for me!!”

Vecil’s body was shaking.

They must immediately get their hands on this large fortune. Vecil only had this one thought in mind. To her, nothing else mattered anymore.

Drive the body and leave immediately!!
