Chapter 43: Chapter 40: The Trump Card"Why the rush, Captain Lin, Captain Hu!" Seeing the two Hunting Captains preparing to leave, Yang Lie hurriedly called out to them, hoping they would hold on a little longer. But the two just shook their heads. The captain surnamed Lin looked particularly displeased, shooting a cold glance at Su Yu, then dismissively said to Yang Lie, "Yang Lie, you’re a veteran of the Sanctuary. How skilled can a Mechanic be?" "Eighteen orders, can you honestly say, with confidence, that you believe the kid in your team can handle it?" Hearing Captain Lin’s words, Yang Lie was momentarily at a loss for words. Seeing Yang Lie speechless only made Captain Lin more convinced of his decision. He sneered, calling out to the others, "What are you all standing around for? Do you really think this kid can complete eighteen orders by himself?" With that, the two left without looking back. Seeing them leave, Wang Jian and the others’ expressions changed slightly. Each of them looked at Su Yu with suspicion. Even Yang Lie appeared a bit flustered. After all, he hadn’t expected Su Yu to accept so many orders at once! "Li Yao and Lei Wu might just be making baseless claims, maybe they’re just talking nonsense..." Yang Lie tried to defend Su Yu, at least to stabilize the current situation. But before he could finish speaking, Su Yu interrupted with a smile. "Uncle Yang, there’s no need to say that." Su Yu spoke, looking at Wang Jian and the others, smiling slightly, "Captains, the news brought by Lei Wu and Li Yao is true. I did accept the eighteen orders posted by the Sanctuary." "If any captain wants to withdraw, you can leave now; I won’t stop you." "However, let me say this up front." Su Yu’s tone was calm, and his gaze indifferent, but his words carried a firm resolve. "Those who leave today won’t find it so easy to collaborate with our Ninth Squad in the future." What Su Yu desired was not just mechanical parts from these small teams but to use this opportunity to select suitable allies from the remaining hunting teams in the Sanctuary and unite them with his technology. A single hunting team can’t withstand the pressure from Night Slayer. But if these hunting teams unite, they won’t be easily targeted by not just Night Slayer, but even the higher-ranked Wolf Pack and Mountain Mist! Therefore, the selection of these allies needs to be a bit stricter. At the very least, they shouldn’t be the type to turn tail at the first sign of pressure! Hearing Su Yu’s words, Wang Jian and the others were stunned. They thought Su Yu should be begging them to stay and work with him. But now, why did it seem like Su Yu was confident of winning? Where did he get such confidence? As Wang Jian and the others were puzzled, Su Yu continued speaking. "Also, before the captains decide to collaborate, I need to clarify that I initially only asked each team for the mechanical parts they collected this month because we have a total of seven hunting teams that can provide parts." "But now, due to the withdrawal of those two captains, I not only need the parts collected this month from the remaining teams but also the untouched parts from the previous months’ inventory." "Of course," Su Yu paused, speaking leisurely, "since I’m raising the stakes again on my side, I’ll also present something to prove to the captains that I have the capability and won’t waste the investmen of the teams." "You have the capability? Kid, stop bluffing!" Hearing Su Yu’s words, members of the Ninth Squad were dumbstruck. They trusted Su Yu’s ability, but that didn’t mean they blindly followed him. Eighteen orders were a heavy burden. Even if they racked their brains, they couldn’t think of a solution. If they were like this, the other captains would be even more dubious. Angry hunting captains, not waiting for Su Yu to finish, were about to leave with a cold snort. Just then, Wang Jian, who had been silent, extended his hand to stop them! "Brother Wang, don’t tell me you’re really taken in by this kid’s bluff!" The hunting captain was stunned, his eyes widened upon seeing Wang Jian stopping him. "Whether it’s a bluff or not, since we’ve spent so much time here, why not let the kid finish?" "Besides, can you really avoid Night Slayer’s threat by leaving now?" Hearing Wang Jian mention Night Slayer, the hunting captain’s expression changed slightly. Previously, the Night Slayer Team had swallowed three hunting teams in succession. Although later, under a manager’s warning, Night Slayer’s actions in the wilderness had considerably restrained. But restraint doesn’t mean inaction. The hunting teams recently noticed a rise in Radiation Beasts’ numbers and strength in the hunting area around the Sanctuary. Such an increase can hardly be called normal! "Phew..." Hesitating for a moment, the hunting captain named Luo Wang took a deep breath and decided to stay, albeit with a disgruntled expression, still eying Su Yu with distrust. "Kid, let’s see what card you’re holding!" "Captains, rest assured." Listening to Wang Jian and Luo Wang’s conversation, Su Yu felt a surge of delight. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He hadn’t expected Night Slayer to still target other hunting teams. This way, his plan could be realized even more smoothly! "The Night Slayer Team is somehow becoming my lucky star!" Su Yu mused silently, then calmed his mind and opened the door beside the counter. "Since the captains are willing to hear me out, then please come into the shop." With that said, Su Yu led the way into the depths of the repair shop. Wang Jian and the others exchanged glances and followed him inside. "What’s so secretive about your trump card..." Luo Wang still bore some disgruntlement, grumbling as he followed along. But the next second, his words were cut off, his eyes revealing unmistakable astonishment! It wasn’t just Luo Wang. Wang Jian, Yang Lie... The present hunting captains all widened their eyes. In their gazes, Behind Su Yu, as the Steel Meditation activated, The spiritual energy stored in his mind quietly spread, causing the prepared parts around him to float and rise, then— "Ka-ka click-click—" Amid the sound of gears turning and mechanisms clashing, within two to three minutes, The parts scattered on the ground were assembled by Su Yu into two brand-new firearms! "Trans..." "Transcendent!?"
