Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Chapter 347: Chapter 122 You’re Too Ugly (2nd Update)

(Congratulations to the new Hall Master “Descended with the Wind”; an additional chapter will be presented tomorrow.)

Dark Breath, so it demands the killing of the Zeg Clan, huh? …

“How about it, are you scared hearing that?” Black asked with a malevolent tone.

“Then let’s kill,” Mu Fan replied calmly.

“…Aren’t you even a bit afraid of such a horrifying truth?”

Black asked, curious.

“Can fear help avoid it? Instead of being scared, I’d rather think about how to kill those ugly Zeg. Besides, having survived the Beast Tide on Purple Jade Star, I should feel lucky I didn’t encounter monsters like the Big King Land Squid or Ghostly Floating Beast; otherwise, I’d truly be dead many times over.”

Black narrowed his eyes, satisfied; “That’s the mindset a strong person should have. Alright, I’m going to discuss the next plan with that old fellow from the Fighters, you get ready to open the gate, White Hair is back.”

Knock, knock, knock~

The doorbell didn’t ring; instead, there was a knocking sound.

Mu Fan got up to open the door, and indeed, it was Yin Shuai.

“Going back to your room to sleep soundly, huh? Not calling me for such a comfy thing!” Yin Shuai jumped onto the bed, making himself comfortable and propped up his leg as he spoke.

Seeing White Hair, Mu Fan’s intention to discuss his thoughts with Luo Jianjin faded, as he couldn’t explain how his understanding of the Zeg Clan was so profound.

Moreover, with the Expeditionary Army, discovering the Zeg’s nesting ground was only a matter of time.

But for White Hair, Mu Fan did want to talk to his good friend.

“The area where I killed that jet tiger insect earlier was peculiar.”

“I know.”

This time Mu Fan was the one surprised, “You know!?”

White Hair looked over with curiosity, “Captain Luo mentioned it, that area was abnormal, oh, you weren’t there at that time.”

Mu Fan asked cautiously, “I’ve decided to go there again when I get a chance, will you go?”

“Just the two of us?”

“If nobody else goes… then it probably will be.”

“…Alright.”

After thinking it over, White Hair readily agreed.

“Why don’t you hesitate at all?”

“Boredom strikes anyway, why hesitate! But let’s make it clear, if we come across a large-scale Zeg, we must flee; I’m not running into that.”

“Alright.” Mu Fan hadn’t been naive enough to think about charging in to slaughter them; these Zeg were different from the beasts in the Beast Tide, this species was, in his view, born purely for combat.

…

When the Tiger Hunting Team completed their mission, fifty squads in turn began exploring the region.

Other squads also encountered large-scale Zeg Clan a few times afterward, but no similar scale was found again.

The next day, under White Hair’s guidance, Mu Fan began getting familiar with the operation of Exoskeleton Armor at the base.

From initially being too forceful and slamming straight into the thick steel walls, to running smoothly and freely after half a day.

Mu Fan’s familiarization process amazed White Hair.

…

On the fourth day, an entirely cleared area was directly made outside the base, where many people were undergoing familiarization training in Exoskeleton Armors.

With the return of mineral resources, the precision machining workshop finally produced another dozen sets of Exoskeleton Armors, but they were somewhat rudimentary compared to the well-crafted versions that came with built-in systems, lacking electronic fire control systems and having less armor protection on the human front.

However, the level of power enhancement was not reduced much, since that was the core functionality.

“Exoskeleton Armor can theoretically amplify one’s strength by 1-5 times; the amplification effect diminishes as the wearer’s strength increases,” Black explained in real-time over the communication channel.

Black was in a great mood these past two days, having successfully hidden a small batch of mineral resources from the military, enough to build five SCV space engineering robots, and today Mu Fan had completely mastered using the Exoskeleton Armor.

Once accustomed to the mechanical feedback intensity and mastering the levels of power output, Mu Fan realized that this Exoskeleton Armor could amplify his reaction speed and strength by about 2 times!

Several light-computer-controlled mechanical pendulums attacked again; Mu Fan made five irregular changes in direction and easily dodged them.

But the second round of unprotected blade wheels crossed over to cut.

This was genuinely high-risk training; failure could be fatal, with armor protecting other body parts, but if the head was hit, death was certain.

Mu Fan was still in mid-air, directly folding from hands to feet completely, and just flew past outside the blade wheels.

“Impressive!”

“After getting used to the exoskeleton armor, Mu Fan looks even more terrifying.”

“I’m really curious about how he trains to have such exaggerated physical fitness. How can his body withstand the strong tearing force from that aerial body folding ejection and the S-shaped directional jump followed by swinging the heavy sword?”

Joe Bollen muttered to himself as he analyzed.

Standing next to him was White Hair, who chuckled after hearing this: “I think anything happening to him is no surprise, I’m just waiting for the day when I can cling to his coattails.”

The others really didn’t want to comment on White Hair.

After Mu Fan swung the broadsword in his hand and sent the nearly half-meter-diameter hollow iron ball flying, several members of the Special Combat Team approached.

“Tiger Hunting Team, Mu Fan, Yin Shuai!”

“Present!”

“Present!”

Both responded simultaneously.

“Prepare to set off. After our clean-up operation with the Expeditionary Army, we’ve pushed the A1 area outward by ten kilometers! Today it’s our turn again, and we’re moving into the A2 area!”

Finally, they were setting off again?

Mu Fan placed the broadsword into its sheath behind his waist, looking eager to try.

Having familiarized himself with this exoskeleton armor, Mu Fan hadn’t truly fought against the Zeg yet. This time, feeling twice as strong and fast, he believed that defeating the Zeg would be even easier!

What’s more…

This time, Black would connect to the micro-control system of the exoskeleton armor and join Mu Fan in battle.

“Little bro, you actually wore clothes this time?” That husky, magnetic voice startled Mu Fan, who saw Tracy clad in black light armor, with critical parts made of pure leather, sauntering over.

Her S-shaped explosive curves made the nearby young men instantly envious.

Especially White Hair, his saliva almost dripping out, like a little puppy he dashed over and enthusiastically stayed beside Tracy’s heavy sniper, saying, “Big sister, please pay more attention to me, I’m also wearing clothes this time. If you want to see me without clothes, I’d be shy, but I don’t mind!”

He finished with a face full of righteousness.

“Humph,” Tracy flicked her heavy sniper lightly, throwing it directly onto White Hair’s shoulder.

Without seeing Tracy move, White Hair was flung away.

“You’re too ugly.”

Those three words…

Instantly shattered White Hair’s psychological defense.

Since leaving his family, people had called him flirtatious, but never ugly.

Now, from this bombshell Black Widow, he heard these three words – “You’re too ugly!”

Thus, in Mu Fan’s eyes, the usually unruly Yin Shuai, got up from the ground, dejectedly walked behind Luo Jianjin, and stopped talking.

Mu Fan grinned, watching Tracy across from him whose beautiful eyes were staring at him, and softly spoke, “This time I plan to wear the exoskeleton.”

“How about we make a bet?”

“What bet?” Mu Fan was also curious.

“If you can kill more than two hundred Zeg today, big sister will give you a kiss.” Watching the young man’s face suddenly turn red, Tracy covered her mouth and giggled, enjoying the thrill of teasing a young hunk.

But it was virtually impossible—200 Zeg, probably not likely to encounter that many on today’s mission.

A kiss…

White Hair, standing behind the bearded man and overhearing these words, immediately shed two lines of clear tears.
