Gaining Widespread Fame

The guesses were correct. After using Locke's Mechanical Battle Saber once, the Captain's eyes were practically green with envy.

Only he knew how terrifyingly valuable this Mechanical Battle Saber was!

Even normal Star level equipment couldn't match the value of this Mechanical Battle Saber.

Now that he was back on the main spaceship, his mind could think of nothing else. After inquiring about Su Ming's dormitory, he headed straight for it.

As soon as he reached Su Ming's dormitory, the Captain paused.

In front of Su Ming's dormitory, a crowd of soldiers had already gathered.

"Little Master Su Ming, after you're done modifying this firearm, please help me with mine too. I'm willing to pay 300 Military Merit!"

"Master Su Ming, I've been waiting for a long time. Please help me modify it. I'll pay 400 Military Merit!"

The soldiers at the door craned their necks, leaning towards the entrance as they spoke.

Seeing this, the Captain inwardly gasped and quickly moved to the dormitory door to look.

Immediately, the Captain saw a young man standing before a workbench, intently examining the Mechanical Parts in his hands.

His fingers didn't stop for a moment, assembling the Mechanical Parts with a speed that suggested he didn't need to think.

A look of immersion flashed in the young man's eyes. He was completely unfazed by the soldiers outside, his gaze fixed on the workbench before him.

It seemed nothing around him could break the young man's concentration.

Seeing this, the Captain's eyes flickered with a strange expression.

As the young man assembled the parts... his Brain Domain Level was incredibly active, as if he were constantly exercising his brain.

Seeing this, the Captain couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

This was a cultivation method for Brain Domain Level unique to Mechanics; other Brain Domain Developers couldn't practice it even if they wanted to.

Moreover, the young man before him appeared much more focused than other Mechanics. In this state, the efficiency of Brain Domain Level cultivation would be even higher!

Just then, the surrounding soldiers suddenly let out a burst of exclamations. The Captain immediately shifted his gaze to the firearm in the young man's hands.

The firearm, originally Planet level, had clearly been equipped with several Star level Mechanical Parts.

This elevated the firearm's Energy Level to a terrifying degree.

It seemed this young man was using this Planet level + Star level assembly method to make a weapon that could both unleash Star level combat power and be used by Planet level individuals.

A flicker of admiration crossed the Captain's eyes. He then squeezed into the crowd and said to the young man with a smile, "Master Su Ming, can you help me repair and modify my firearm? I'm willing to pay 500 Military Merit points!"

Upon hearing the Captain's words, Su Ming looked up, gave the Captain a strange look, then shook his head and said, "Get in line!"

The Captain was stunned, and then he saw the soldiers behind him suppressing their laughter as they looked at him.

A flush of embarrassment spread across the Captain's face, and he then obediently went to the back of the line of soldiers.

Su Ming stretched, then looked at the soldiers lined up in front of his dormitory.

He had seen this scene a few hours ago.

Less than half an hour after he and Warren moved in, a large number of soldiers had come seeking him out, forming a line to have him repair their mechanical equipment.

However... Su Ming gave a wry smile. Even after he had been repairing frantically for several hours, the line didn't seem to be shrinking at all; instead, it was gradually growing...

Even Su Ming felt a sense of fatigue after several hours of continuous high-intensity repairs.

Since moving in, he had repaired and modified a total of 12 pieces of equipment, which took him a full 8 hours.

It had to be said, the Starlight Points brought by Planet level machinery were quite considerable!

Calculating at 100 Starlight Points per Planet level equipment, 12 pieces of equipment had earned him a full 1200 Starlight Points.

If it were Surface level equipment, he probably wouldn't have earned this many Starlight Points even after working for two days.

It was indeed the right choice to leave Planet Nop.

In addition to Starlight Points, Su Ming had also gained a large amount of Military Merit.

Almost everyone who came to Su Ming to modify Mechanical Parts paid an average of 200-400 Military Merit points.

12 pieces of equipment had earned Su Ming around 3000 Military Merit points.

From this perspective, earning enough Military Merit to purchase Mecha knowledge and blueprints wasn't that difficult. It was estimated that after a few weeks of doing this, he could meet the 150,000 Military Merit requirement to purchase the [Humanoid E-Class Advanced Close Combat Mecha] that Su Ming favored.

Su Ming turned his head and looked at the soldiers still waiting outside the door. He pulled Warren forward and said, "This is my companion, Warren. His mechanical skills are also very superb. If you guys can't wait, you can ask him to do the repairs!"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, everyone turned their attention to the unassuming Warren.

This was the first time Warren had been stared at by so many people, and he became a little nervous. He could only stand beside Su Ming and give a silly, dry laugh.

"Since Little Master Su Ming recommended him, there must be no problem. Little Master Warren, please repair this Mechanical Battle Blade for me. I'm willing to pay 200 Military Merit points!"

Hearing Su Ming's words, someone from the back of the line stepped forward and said with a chuckle.

Among those who came to Su Ming to repair mechanical weapons, some wanted to modify their weapons to make them more powerful.

These people would honestly wait for Su Ming's schedule.

However, some people just wanted to simply repair their damaged mechanical weapons so they could be used, without necessarily pursuing an increase in combat power.

It just so happened that one had to queue to see the Mechanic named Harry, and Su Ming's efficiency was much faster than Harry's, so queuing at Su Ming's place would be quicker.

And now that Su Ming pushed Warren aside, everyone remembered that there were two mechanics who had joined Temporary Army No. 32 this time.

The scrawny, unremarkable youth before them was also a mechanic!

Warren believed his skills weren't as refined as Su Ming's. At this moment, he was content that someone wanted him to repair their weapon. As for the Military Merit points offered, Warren didn't dare to ask for too much.

Upon hearing that someone was willing to pay 200 points for him to make repairs, Warren's face lit up with joy. He immediately nodded repeatedly, took the person's Mechanical Battle Blade, and went to the workbench to prepare for the repair.

Seeing Warren's demeanor, Su Ming couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Warren was, in a way, his mechanic apprentice. However, due to his poor background, Warren had always lacked confidence.

But what he didn't know was... the status of mechanics in interstellar society was far higher than that of others!

Almost all Gene Warriors had to find mechanics to repair their damaged weapons.

Surface level mechanics were naturally nothing special, easily found everywhere.

However, Planet level mechanics began to see their status rise significantly.

Warren currently lacked confidence.

Once he started taking orders in the regular way in the future, Warren would quickly feel how popular Planet level mechanics were among the soldiers.
