"Boom!"
The thunderous roar erupted. In the captain's hands, the Thermal Battle Saber displayed power far beyond what it had shown in Locke's hands.
In an instant, the Thermal Battle Saber erupted with an incredibly terrifying energy level, directly dyeing the world red.
The vehicles and some buildings along the street even began showing signs of gradually melting under the heat.
The captain gripped the saber and instantly slashed fiercely at the Furball Monster. The scorching thermal energy burning along the Mechanical Battle Blade tore open a massive red crescent in the sky!
Under this slash, the Furball Monster, whose energy level had originally been astonishingly powerful, was violently split open with a huge wound.
The intense aroma of roasted meat instantly wafted from the Furball Monster's wound.
Seeing that the attack had actually wounded the Furball Monster, the captain and all the team members immediately revealed delighted expressions.
This proved that although the captain's energy level while using the Mechanical Battle Saber had not surpassed the Furball Monster's, it had still reached the same level.
Only then could he injure the Furball Monster!
"Cover me. I'll kill this Furball Monster!" the captain shouted loudly to the team members behind him.
The team members did not hesitate. Each of them exerted all their strength and frantically attacked the Furball Monster's tentacles.
Although the team members' energy levels were inferior to the Furball Monster's, focusing their attacks on its tentacles could still have some effect.
Soon, at the cost of sacrificing two more team members, the captain, aided by the others, successfully cut the Furball Monster before them in half.
The strongest Furball Monster died just like that.
As for the remaining Furball Monsters, they were completely incapable of posing any danger to the soldiers and were easily wiped out by the squad.
The captain cut open the Furball Monster's body, then removed a piece of flesh from it as a subject for research.
He always felt that the appearance of this Furball Monster was somewhat suspicious. Furball Monsters could not possibly grow this large under normal circumstances. They must have been stimulated by some external factor to reach such a size.
He simply cut off a piece of the Furball Monster's flesh and took it back to the Temporary Army No. 32's spaceship for research!
After finishing all this, everyone returned to the spaceship one after another.
The captain handed the saber in his hands back to Locke, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.
"Locke, are you selling this saber? I'll pay a high price for it!"
After thinking it over, the captain still asked tentatively, a hopeful look on his face.
The captain had originally been unwilling to ask a team member for something...
But this Mechanical Battle Saber was simply too wonderful!
Even with a Planet level energy level, it could unleash the power of this Mechanical Battle Saber.
It was practically a Planet level threshold with Star level might.
Anyone would turn green with envy upon seeing such a weapon!
If he could obtain this equipment, he could truly use a level-four lower-grade energy level to unleash the power of a level-five lower-grade Gene Warrior!
He would be crossing an entire major level.
It was truly incredibly tempting.
Hearing the captain's words, Locke hurriedly hugged the saber tightly as if it were a treasure, then looked at the captain with the wariness of someone guarding against a thief.
"Captain, to us soldiers, a weapon is like a wife. A brother's wife is off-limits!"
Locke shot the captain a sidelong glance and spoke warily.
Originally, Locke had only lent the saber to the captain temporarily for the sake of the entire team's survival, yet he had already felt as though he had been cuckolded.
Now that the captain had enjoyed using it, he had actually begun coveting Locke's treasured saber.
How could Locke tolerate that?
However, the two had a fairly good relationship, so Locke was not truly guarding against him seriously.
Deep disappointment flashed through the captain's eyes. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "What a pity. Your saber is truly useful. Its value might even rival some top-tier Star level equipment!"
Hearing the captain's words, a trace of smugness flashed through Locke's eyes. He gave a soft snort and said, "Of course. This was forged for me by Master Su Ming!"
"Master Su Ming?" The captain was stunned, then asked curiously, "Who is this Master Su Ming? Why don't you introduce me to him? I'll have him forge a Mechanical Battle Saber for me too!"
Hearing this, Locke said with a helpless laugh, "Captain, you've been cooped up on the spaceship for too long. Master Su Ming is the mechanic who recently joined the Temporary Army No. 32. He modified my weapon."
After hearing Locke's words, the team members around them were all startled. They gathered around Locke and began discussing noisily.
"I think I remember. Two mechanics really did recently join the spaceship!"
"So it was them? I remember both of them were Planet level mechanics. How could they modify such powerful equipment?"
At that moment, someone nearby spoke smugly. "You guys don't know the whole story. I was right beside Locke when he modified the saber. This Master Su Ming isn't very old, but he's incredibly skilled. He repaired and modified this saber in about forty minutes!"
"What, forty minutes?" another person exclaimed. "The previous Planet level mechanic needed three or four hours just to repair it once. And that was only repairing it, not modifying it. This Master Su Ming actually finished the modification in forty minutes too? How strong!"
"Hah, I went to Mechanic Harry for repairs before. It cost me four hours, and Harry has a terrible temper too. He acts like a big shot. Anyone who asks him for repairs has to suffer through a bellyful of anger!"
Another person spoke with a cold laugh.
Harry was the only Planet level mechanic who had already been part of the Temporary Army No. 32.
The moment Harry was mentioned, everyone throughout the spaceship began complaining about him.
The captain, however, did not join the discussion.
A thoughtful look appeared on his face. He glanced at the Planet level firearm he had damaged earlier, and a faint trace of anticipation flickered in his eyes...
Several hours later, the squad piloted the spaceship back to the main spaceship.
After returning the spaceship to the attendant, the captain immediately stepped off and hurried toward the living quarters inside the spaceship.
"Captain, where are you going? We finished the mission. Let's go relax a little!" one of the team members called out with a laugh.
The captain turned around. With a smile on his face, he said, "I still have something to do. You guys go ahead. I'll pass!"
Soldiers like them could indeed earn enormous fortunes in a short period, but... that often came with an extremely high risk of death.
This time, for example, four team members had died forever on Muta Planet and could never return.
Therefore, after completing their missions, everyone in the Temporary Army would indulge in drinking and revelry to vent the pressure of military life.
It was a tradition of the squad.
But this time, the captain chose not to join them.
The others exchanged glances, then revealed knowing expressions.
"Come on. After seeing Master Su Ming's modification skills, the captain can't tear himself away. He's probably heading straight for Master Su Ming now!"
