Windfall

Seeing the strange hair, Luo Yan didn't linger and quickened his pace to leave.

Not long after, he met up with Li Bohang and the others.

' White Dragon ' knelt down on one knee in an open space and placed the Energy Core he had stolen from 'Orange Cat' on the ground.

I watched as Luo Yan snatched an Energy Core.

The entire team, including Li Bohang, was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought?

Luo Yan not only defeated 'Orange Cat', but also dismantled and stole the Energy Core from its mecha.

This is clearly an attempt to prevent people from participating in the test.

After leaving the Mecha Cockpit, we arrived on the ground.

Li Bohang said, "A second-year student is looking for you."

Luo Yan gave him an inquiring look.

"It's Yang Lixie. He said he wants to discuss something with you."

Li Bohang tossed him a communicator.

He's online now.

Luo Yan's mind flashed with Yang Lixie's image. After hesitating for a moment, he still said "hello" into the communicator.

He wanted to hear what Yang Lixie to say.

unexpectedly.

He finally spoke.

Yang Lixie shouted into the communicator, "Idol!"

You're back?

"I couldn't contact your mech, so I had to contact your teammates."

"How about we make a deal?"

Luo Yan said expressionlessly, "What are we discussing?"

Yang Lixie the chase. "Didn't you steal the Energy Core from one of our mechs? Do you have it?"

Luo Yan glanced at the Energy Core not far away but remained silent.

Yang Lixie continued, "You definitely didn't lose it, right?"

"That's right, I want to redeem it."

Redeem it?

Luo Yan was momentarily caught up with Yang Lixie's train of thought.

Yang Lixie chuckled dryly and said, "My goddess, cough, Liu Ruohan is unwilling to give up on the test just like that."

"She wants to get an Energy Core from Black Eagle Company."

"I just contacted the base, and they do have a passable Energy Core that can be used with minimal effort."

"Performance-wise, it's not as good as the one you have."

"So I'd like to make a deal with you and redeem it."

"Back at the base, they're asking for 350,000 work points, or equivalent value in supplies, for their older model Energy Core."

"I'd like to see the one you have. Can you give me a discount and sell it to me for 500,000?"

"Anyway, having another Energy Core won't make a difference to you."

"Why not just sell it and make some money? Don't you think so?"

500,000 work points!

A strange glint flashed in Luo Yan's crimson eyes.

He remembered what Wei Fenghua had said.

If you perform well in this test.

Mech Master can retain the mechs they pilot.

However, apart from the school subsidizing a portion of the maintenance and upgrade costs for the mechs, the remaining costs must be covered by the students themselves.

Although Wei Fenghua also said that once a student is able to keep the mecha, it will attract attention.

With sponsors vying for the project, at least the routine maintenance costs won't be a problem.

But the upgrade costs are another headache.

Furthermore, Luo Yan doesn't really like being sponsored.

Because that would reduce one's voice.

Now we hear that Yang Lixie wants to use 500,000 to redeem the mecha Energy Core.

Luo Yan was tempted.

Just like Yang Lixie said.

Having an extra Energy Core wouldn't be of much use to him.

After the test is over, it will most likely have to be returned.

Why not cash out now?

and...

The test will last for one week.

The Energy Core has been redeemed, but you can still steal it again!

After figuring this out.

Luo Yan picked up the communicator and said, "Okay, but the price needs to be raised a bit."

"700,000 work points is more reasonable."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator, then Yang Lixie said, "Okay, 700,000 it is!"

"I'd also like to be friends with you, Classmate Luo."

"Let's make it 700,000."

How shall we make the transaction?

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said, "You make the payment first. After I receive the work points, give me the coordinates, and I'll have someone deliver the Energy Core over."

"Okay." Yang Lixie agreed readily.

Not long after.

Luo Yan has 700,000 work points deposited into his student card. With the bonus from the Local Security Bureau, he now has 710,000 work points.

Then, after receiving the coordinates from Yang Lixie, Luo Yan contacted two classmates.

Each person was paid 1,000 work points to deliver the Energy Core to the designated location.

After doing all this.

Li Bohang and Zeng Shan came looking for them.

"Classmate Luo, I think we should build a camp before hunting the giant beast. What do you think?"

Luo Yan nodded.

The instructor also covered this in tactics class.

Before entering the Forbidden Land area for combat, you need to establish a camp first.

After all, these are personnel from the tactical squad, Logistics Department, and Maintenance Department.

It's impossible to follow the mechs as they move within the Forbidden Land.

They need a fixed, safe location.

Only then can work begin.

Luo Yan asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Li Bohang took out a tablet computer, which had a map of ' Guifa City ' on it.

"This city was originally a prefecture-level city with a permanent population of around five million and complete urban infrastructure."

"There is Airport and a high-speed rail station in the suburbs."

"Look at this."

Li Bohang pointed to a location on the screen. "The suburban high-speed rail station is not far from where we are now. It is connected to the city center by only one highway."

"This is advantageous for defense."

"Furthermore, the high-speed rail station is located in the suburbs, on the edge of Forbidden Land area."

"We can also evacuate quickly if attacked."

"Furthermore, the waiting hall of a high-speed rail station can serve various purposes."

"The Command Center, supply warehouse, and personnel rest area can all be set up inside."

What do you think?

Luo Yan nodded.

Li Bohang considered everything very comprehensively and in great detail.

He couldn't find a reason to object.

sidewalk.

"Let's go to the high-speed rail station now."

When I arrived at the high-speed rail station.

It started to rain.

The rain wasn't heavy.

However, flashes of lightning occasionally pierced the dark clouds in the distance.

It looks like a heavy rain is coming soon.

The once bustling high-speed rail station is now eerily quiet.

There are more corpses to be seen here.

They were all corpses, devoid of flesh and blood, consisting only of bones.

It appears that when the ' Giant Beast Calamity ' struck, a large number of people flocked to the high-speed rail station, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

There are traces of destruction caused by a giant beast here.

Several high-speed trains were deformed and overturned; looking into the deformed carriages, the bones inside were piled up almost like small mountains.

One train carriage was even violently dismantled and abandoned in the entrance plaza of the high-speed rail station.

The lead vehicle of the convoy drove into the square, pushing the bodies, carriages, and other obstacles to the left and right.

Inside the mecha transport vehicle, specks of silver-white light appeared around Luo Yan's crimson pupils.

The entrance plaza, the waiting hall, and everything else in sight.

In Luo Yan's "Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye," everything became transparent, leaving only lines outlining the structure.

Within this field of vision.

He soon noticed clusters of gray lights flickering on the third and fourth floors of the waiting hall.

The outlines of those lights, no matter how you look at them, don't resemble human figures.
