Chapter 42: Chapter 39 ProvocationSu Yu looked at Wang Jian and the other hunting captains present, his gaze burning as he spoke in a deep voice. "My technology is my guarantee for paying all of you!" "The situation of the Ninth Squad in the past is well known to everyone, but it was such a team that experienced a massive boost in overall strength after I became the Mechanic of the Ninth Squad, as you all witnessed in the rescue battle the other night." "Under such a siege of Radiation Beasts, we still held on until help arrived. I think that alone should be enough to prove my personal technical level." Su Yu’s tone was calm. His words made Wang Jian and the others present nod slightly. Although Su Yu’s words sounded somewhat boastful, there was no denying that the strength increase of the Ninth Squad during this period had indeed shocked Wang Jian and the others. However. "But what does this have to do with our cooperation with you?" Wang Jian stared at Su Yu and spoke in a deep voice. "It’s simple." Hearing Wang Jian ask about the details of the cooperation, Su Yu’s smile widened. "As all the captains said, our Ninth Squad currently doesn’t have enough contribution points to acquire the Mechanical Creations retrieved by each hunting team in the future two months." "Even the Mechanical Creations harvested by each hunting team this month, we can’t fully acquire them." "But I need you captains to sell your surplus Mechanical Creations from this month to me in advance." Su Yu said, looking at Wang Jian and the others, a determined gleam in his eyes. "I need the maximum trust from you captains. Of course, I’m not just talking big. For each captain willing to cooperate, I will pay half, that is, a deposit of six hundred contribution points; the remaining half will be paid to the captains after I complete the Sanctuary’s orders by the end of next month." "Moreover, if you captains are willing to nod, in the future, if there’s any need for equipment upgrades, modifications, or major repairs and refurbishments in your teams, you can come to me, Su Yu, and I will not refuse!" "Equipment upgrades and modifications?" The major repairs and refurbishments didn’t interest the hunting team captains present. But when Su Yu mentioned equipment upgrades and modifications, everyone’s eyes lit up. Even Wang Jian was clearly tempted. However, being the strongest among the hunting teams present, he quickly caught the key information in Su Yu’s words. "What level can the upgrades reach at most?" "Simple Equipment can be upgraded to Basic, and Basic Equipment can be upgraded to Intermediate. Of course, all these modifications require the captains to provide the parts." "Additionally..." Su Yu paused and then said softly, "If you captains can provide enough parts or high-grade damaged machinery that can inspire me and give me new design ideas." "I might even be able to design Advanced Equipment!" "What!?" This time, not just Wang Jian. Even Yang Lie and the others were stunned. Advanced Equipment, what kind of concept is that? The entire Sanctuary might not even have a few pieces. Though such high-grade equipment can’t directly add Spiritual Energy to amplify power, its attributes and data already reach the limits of conventional weapons. To give an example with firearms, an Intermediate sniper rifle can at most threaten a two-star Basic Transcendent. Against higher and stronger Transcendents, even if it locks onto a target, by the time the bullet reaches them, the target may have already reacted and dodged the trajectory! But an Advanced-quality sniper rifle, if used well, could potentially harm even a three-star Transcendent! And Su Yu dared to say he could modify weapons of this grade? Seeing the shocked gazes of everyone, Su Yu smiled slightly without much explanation, taking out his Falcon Gun and placing it on the counter. "My gun is here. Feel free to inspect it, everyone." Seeing Su Yu openly put out the Falcon Gun, the hunting captains present exchanged glances, and finally, Wang Jian stepped forward to take the Falcon Gun, inspecting it carefully and trying to chamber a round, aiming. Then, he exhaled heavily, looking at the eagerly watching captains around him and nodded slightly. "Not bad, this sniper rifle’s performance definitely reaches Advanced level!" Hearing Wang Jian’s confirmatory words, the several hunting captains present, including Yang Lie, couldn’t help but widen their eyes in surprise and joy as they looked at Su Yu! "Su, based on your conditions, our Eleventh Squad is willing to cooperate with you!" Wang Jian was the first to speak. Afterwards, the other hunting team captains also nodded one after another. No kidding, even if they couldn’t provide parts for Su Yu to modify weapons of Advanced quality, having Intermediate or Basic weapons for each fighter in their teams would significantly boost their hunting teams’ strength! Moreover, with Su Yu’s Falcon Gun as a guarantee, and the Ninth Squad’s significant increase in combat power. The hunting team captains present no longer doubted Su Yu’s technical level. With this level of skill, taking on a few more orders from the Sanctuary, they could easily repay all the debts from the various squads! And seeing Su Yu successfully persuading the captains from these squads, the faces of Yang Lie and others also lit up with joy. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But at this moment. From afar, Li Yao and Lei Wu’s amused voices came. "Mr. Su’s technology is indeed solid. Who would’ve thought Mr. Su still had this card up his sleeve!" "The captains really found a good deal!" Hearing Li Yao and Lei Wu’s words, the hunting captains present slightly changed their expressions. Yang Lie’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the two, "Li Yao, Lei Wu, what are you two doing here?" "What? This is a public area of the Sanctuary, Captain Yang. Are you so overbearing that you won’t even let us come near here?" Li Yao sneered, directly confronting Yang Lie with a retort. And beside him, Lei Wu, looking at Wang Jian and the others, spoke with a sinister tone, "Captain Yang doesn’t need to worry. We aren’t here for the Ninth Squad; we’re here to give Captain Wang and the others a little reminder." "Mr. Su’s eloquence was just as solid as his technology. It’s just that you may not know." "Mr. Su, previously took on as many as eighteen orders from the Sanctuary all at once!" Lei Wu said, shaking his head with an exaggerated expression filled with mockery. "Eighteen orders. If completed, Mr. Su would earn nearly twenty thousand contribution points in one go! Easily paying off the debts to all the captains, and the advance payments for the next two months of scrap machinery would be a breeze!" "However, if he fails to complete them, the penalty fees Mr. Su would bear are heading towards fifty thousand, tsk tsk... Ah, I misspoke." Seeing the instantly changing expressions of Wang Jian and the others, Lei Wu, with his scheme successful, smiled smugly and raised his eyebrows at Su Yu, "Since Mr. Su dared to take on so many orders, he must be prepared. Surely he won’t end up being penalized by the Sanctuary? It was me who misspoke!" After finishing, Lei Wu and Li Yao exchanged a glance and turned away. And listening to Lei Wu and Li Yao’s explanation, the enthusiasm on the faces of the several originally interested hunting captains instantly faded. Two hunting team captains, hesitating slightly, decisively stood up and left hurriedly, not even greeting Su Yu and Yang Lie, apparently having completely lost trust in Su Yu and the Ninth Squad!
