Chapter 96

With everyone present, Han Fei gave a brief speech:

"Okay, this is our team's first field mission, so there might be some coordination issues, but that's okay. We'll get used to it. Don't be nervous, relax. If we can't win, we'll just run away!"

Upon hearing this, Lemuen looked around and chuckled, "It seems none of us are very nervous."

Lemuen chimed in enthusiastically, "That's right, let's get going!"

Texas remained silent, but her expression conveyed a silent message to Han Fei: I am ready.

Han Fei wasn't in a hurry. He first opened the pre-departure preparations, selected the confidential Brakkesh, put on his own equipment, and then began to check the equipment of the others.

Due to permission restrictions, Han Fei's current preparation screen can be switched to other teammates.

He checked them one by one, starting with Texas's equipment.

Texas's readiness was no accident; she was already equipped with a backpack and a chest pendant—a 25-slot backpack and a 12-slot chest pendant—but she was headless and unarmored.

It's worth mentioning that last time, perhaps due to a lack of authority, the two swords she carried weren't counted in her combat readiness value, and Han Fei had to help her collect them.

Now, her twin swords can be considered part of her combat readiness.

Furthermore, its combat readiness value is not low, worth over 500,000.

This reminded Han Fei of the time he seized the Lappland Twin Blades, which were also worth over 500,000.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This isn't the orange longsword of Vanguard Texas, but the Wolfhead Twin Swords of Texas the Omertosa. How could it not be valuable?!

Since the weapons no longer needed adjustment, Han Fei simply equipped Texas with the armor he had seized from the Emperor's Blades last time, and then bought her a brand new level 3 hearing helmet.

With the helmet on, Texas, in the eyes of the angel sisters, now had an additional set of helmet equipment.

Texas tried to move her body a bit, then frowned and said, "I wanted to say this last time, but this outfit is a little restrictive to our movements."

Lemuen up and down and commented, "And it's not cool at all."

"Xiao Le."

Lemuen poked her sister's cheek and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lemuen stuck out her tongue and obediently shut her mouth.

"The appearance can be hidden, so this doesn't matter."

Texas said this and pressed the button to hide her equipment. Immediately, her body armor and helmet disappeared.

"Huh? That's amazing."

Lemuen couldn't resist reaching out and poking Texas's arm, asking, "So, does that mean you still have that bulletproof vest on?"

Han Fei casually explained, "It's still there, just the shape has been concealed, but the protective capabilities are still there."

"Um."

Texas responded, stretched, and assessed, "It probably affected about 4 to 5 percent of the system. While that's negligible, it's still somewhat of a burden."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. That's how bulletproof vests are; the stronger the protection, the more cumbersome they become," Han Fei said casually. "Since you think it's a problem, I'll get you a different one."

As they were talking, Han Fei spent a fortune to buy Texas a brand new HAAVK Level 4 armor.

HAAVK's armor was genuine light armor, with almost no drawbacks except for its lack of durability.

Texas was wearing Asara's fellow countrymen armor, which, while having decent durability, offered limited protection and had significant negative effects, making it arguably the worst level 4 armor.

Wow, that's cool.

Lemuen became interested and said, "Get me a set too!"

"Wait a moment."

Han Fei said to Lemuen, then looked at Texas and said, "How about this one? If it's okay, I'll start buying you consumables."

As Han Fei was about to open the consumables interface, he heard Texas speak before he could:

"I've already replenished my consumables."

Texas reported crisply, "I currently have a field first aid kit, a tactical quick-release surgical kit, a tourniquet, a roll of elastic bandage, and two high-powered syringes in my chest rig."

She paused, then added, "These are consumables I purchased based on the medications you had with you before, so they should be correct, right?"

Han Fei nodded slightly and commented, "The elastic bandages are unnecessary, and next time the field first aid kit can be replaced with an outdoor medical kit. Everything else is perfect."

He'd never seen anyone use elastic bandages!

As they spoke, Han Fei sighed with admiration, remarking that Texas was truly intelligent and a worry-free person.

Texas answered decisively, "Okay, I got it."

"Um."

After adjusting Texas's equipment, Han Fei looked at the Angel sisters again.

These two sisters brought their own firearms, which saved them a lot of trouble.

As agreed, Han Fei directly Exusiai with a partially modified K416, saying, "This is the gun I promised you before."

Although this gun was only partially modified, Han Fei had still put some thought into it, adding a sniper frame stock, a heavy barrel, a slanted grip, and an Armoe rear grip.

But that's not the point; the point is the magazine.

Han Fei skipped all the fancy stuff and went straight for a 60-round drum magazine.

The main focus is on unleashing a barrage of firepower.

Large drum magazines are mostly only seen on large battlefields, since the enemy engagements are too close together, requiring a large drum magazine to ensure continuous firepower.

At the same time, because the negative effects of the large drum magazine are too severe, reducing the control speed too much, the requirements for gun modification are very high. In addition, bullets are precious in the Treasure Hunt mode, so the large drum magazine is rarely seen in the Treasure Hunt mode.

Only a small number of skilled players can play the M14 drum kit.

However, the K416 that Han Fei modified for Lemuen was actually pretty good, with a +8 aiming rating, 54 handling, and 62 recoil.

Although Han Fei always felt a bit overpowered when using him because he wasn't fully upgraded.

But he believed in Exusiai's marksmanship.

However, considering that they were going on a field mission, Han Fei suggested, "Here, take this gun. But you should try it out at the range first. If there's anything that's not right, we can fix it."

"Okay, boss."

Exusiai glanced at the gun from left to right. This K416 had a "Street Art" skin, Exusiai clearly liked. She said, "This paint job looks pretty cool, but I don't know how well it performs. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Exusiai dashed into the firing range like a whirlwind.

With Exusiai gone, Han Fei naturally had to focus on Lemuen.

"Sister An, you can wear this armor."

Although this piece of armor from Asara is a bit lacking in protection, it's still a level 4 armor, and its durability is practically brand new, so there's no reason not to use it.

It's perfect for Lemuen; she's a sniper, so those negative effects would have the least impact on her.

I have no objection.

Lemuen gently agreed, letting Han Fei put the level four armor and level three hearing helmet on her.

Han Fei, clad in a level-three helmet, only relied on his hearing.

That durable helmet is pointless; it doesn't block much damage and just adds to your pickup range.

After putting on the headgear, Han Fei started buying a backpack and chest harness again, following the same old routine: a 25-compartment backpack and a 13-compartment chest harness—just enough to hold an outdoor first-aid kit.

After changing his equipment, Han Fei looked at his nearly depleted Haf Coins and fell into deep thought.

After tinkering for so long, he suddenly had less than 800,000 Haf Coins left.

This time he's really out of money. All that's left in his warehouse are the red and the gold items with collectible value; all the trendy little blue and purple items are already sold out.

There's nothing we can do about it. If he sells red tokens, he'll get even more Haf Coins, since most of Laterano's revenue comes from red tokens and key cards.

There seem to be a lot, but there's still Lemuen who doesn't have a headgear, and besides, if you're wearing four layers of armor, you'll need to bring a mechanic with you.

From a cost-saving perspective, it's actually best to use red repair, which is equivalent to level 6 armor repair, for four pieces of level 4 armor.

Red repairs level 4 armor, it really can repair a Hughie.

Throughout the entire battle, all the armor was destroyed, but the red repair materials were more than enough.

But after seeing the price of red repair items in the trading house, Han Fei decisively gave up the idea—one red repair item could buy three gold repair items! It wasn't saving any money at all.

Lemuen noticed this too, and said softly, "Looks like we're out of money again."

"Boss, how much did we make in Laterano?" Texas, stroking her chin. "I feel like it should be quite a bit, but..."

"But it's used up really fast, isn't it?" Han Fei shrugged, looking helpless. "That's just how big of a hand we have in HAAVK. Haf Coins are such worthless stuff. You don't earn much from them, but they're used up in no time."

A short while later, Lemuen returned, excitedly announcing, "Boss, I'm back!"

She buried her face in Han Fei, her face beaming with joy, and said, "Boss, you know me so well! This gun is perfect for me. It has a fast rate of fire and a large magazine capacity. It's fantastic!"

The next second, Exusiai stepped out of Han Fei, gave a thumbs-up, and said confidently, "Don't worry, boss, nothing can suppress me in the face of firepower! I am your most powerful firepower unit!"

"Okay, of course I believe you."

As Han Fei spoke, he Exusiai with a 25-pack and a 14-slot chest accessory.

Besides the necessary outdoor medical kit, surgical pack, and painkiller injections, Han Fei filled the remaining compartments with bullets.

Three sets of level 3 ammunition, two sets of level 4 ammunition, and the rest are all level 2 green ammunition.

The entire backpack, including the chest suspender, was full of bullets.

If it weren't for the bullets for her Guardian Gun in her pocket, Han Fei would have filled her pockets completely.

Don't ask, the answer is the arrival of the Lion Stream.

In addition, Han Fei bought her a level 4 armor and a level 3 helmet, and then stuffed a Golden Armor Repair into his own backpack.

After doing all this, Han Fei subconsciously reached for the button to fire.

But before setting off, a subtle thought flashed through Han Fei's mind—with such a high level of combat readiness, do I really still need to conduct classified missions?

Han Fei was the one with the lowest combat readiness. His M250 Giant Wild Dog cost just over 200,000, which, along with his helmet armor, was just enough to meet the minimum requirements.

But the other girls' weapons were all incredibly valuable.

Texas goes without saying, but Lemuen has an AWM, fully modified at that; that single gun is enough to get her into the top-secret Brakkesh.

Exusiai, on the other hand, wields dual pistols, making her combat readiness far superior!

After a brief moment of hesitation, Han Fei decisively chose the top-secret Brakkesh.

The bold get rich, the timid starve!

My team has three six-star operators, why can't we go and test the waters in the top-secret area?

Brakkesh is a top-secret organization with the lowest readiness requirements. If you don't go even though the readiness level is so high, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?

The next second, Han Fei decisively switched to the top-secret Brakkesh.

After paying the entrance fees for four people, Han Fei's Haf Coins were quickly depleted, leaving him with only four digits.

"Oh dear, how come so much money is suddenly missing? It seems like they've gone bankrupt."

The moment Lemuen's voice rang in Han Fei's ears, the familiar operator selection interface appeared in Han Fei field of vision.

Volume 1: Chapter 132 Hello, Kazdel

The familiar character selection screen appeared in Han Fei's line of sight, showing a list of operators.

Han Fei decisively chose Gale first.

Han Fei wasn't quite sure how strong this operator was, but since he was already here, he figured he should at least pick one to play around with.

How will you know the strength if you don't try?

Furthermore, although the exact numerical values are unknown, the Gale skill looks quite good.

At least this mechanism looks pretty good.

It has displacement, acceleration, and self-rescue capabilities; there's no reason not to give it a try.

After selecting the Gale, Han Fei's gaze shifted downwards and landed on the medical skill.

One Hagibee was obtained.

Hagibee is really good; it provides both a good response and plenty of smoke, and its power level is top-notch!

Now, only one operator slot remains.
