The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 114

Chapter 114


Within the manor, Han Xiao scratched his chin and thought hard in silence .

The mask changed his facial appearance so much so that if one did not approach close to him, it would be impossible for the person to uncover his true identity .

Although he had escaped from Stardragon, the interface did not indicate a decrease in affection for him . Since his relationship with Stardragon was still relatively friendly and both parties were not reduced to enemies, there was chance for him to turn the situation around .

Han Xiao had a deep impression of Di Su Su . Although Di Su Su always teased Li Ya Lin and Li Ya Lin always tried to put her down, Di Su Su still unintentionally nudged closer to Li Ya Lin . Even the clothes she wore resembled those of Li Ya Lin . Han Xiao, who was great and very experienced at observing people, could tell with a single glance that Di Su Su and Li Ya Lin shared a very close friendship .

…

Two days later…

The bullet leapt out of the barrel of the sniper rifle and killed the final enemy sniper who was a few hundred meters away . The burnt smell of the smoky battlefield was very pungent . The enemy forces, which suffered a lot of casualties, retreated like a huge wave . Han Xiao let out a deep breath and leaned against the wall to sit down . He closed his eyes to ease the tension in his heart .

The enemies were getting stronger one wave after another . There were helicopters, armored vehicles, and small tanks; there were also a couple of strong super humans and elite soldiers that appeared on the battlefield, which posed huge threats .

The past two days in the manor had been very hectic and dangerous, as if they were all on a little boat stuck in a massive whirlpool . Han Xiao used all his effort, and together with the cooperation of the mercenary troops, the defense managed to pull through .

——————————————————————

You defeated a wave of attackers . (5/5)

The fourth round completed . You gained 200,000 EXP points .

The hidden request to prevent the appearance of Division 13 has failed .

You activated the additional fifth segment of the mission .

——————————————————————

Han Xiao was completely stunned . He did not expect the hidden request was to prevent the appearance of Division 13 . He really had not thought of that possibility . After pondering for a while, he then realized why he missed out the hidden request .

If every one of his battles ended fast and decisively and created less commotion, perhaps Division 13 would not have entered the picture . However, such a request was too difficult . Even if he was able to find out about such a request, it would be very hard to accomplish it . Han Xiao was not particularly upset about such a result . Ultimately, the odds of completing a hidden request were fifty-fifty . There were times of success and times of failure . It was pretty normal for failure to occur after all .

The original mission only had four segments . However, since the hidden request was not completed, the fifth segment has been activated . Is it supposed to be blessing in disguise? What is the fifth segment exactly?

Han Xiao felt curious .

——————————————————————

Change in Quest Requirement

Fifth Round Requirement: Tag along with Wang Yuan and handle the incoming danger .

Failure Condition: Your death .

Reward: 30,000 EXP

Special Reward: 300,000 EXP

——————————————————————

At that moment, Han Xiao was shocked . He felt that the fifth segment of the mission was really confusing and weird .

The normal reward was not compatible with the current stage of the mission . Also, the special reward was ten times larger than the normal reward, which meant that there was a great deal of flexibility in the mission . What exactly was the danger that the mission offered?

The condition to fail the mission was targeted at the fact that some players could revive themselves . Since Wang Yuan was protected by Bennett, it meant that Han Xiao himself would have to deal with a great deal of danger .

It was like the mission was trying to tell Han Xiao, "Hehehe… this is going to be dangerous . "

…

Two days earlier, in a dim abandoned warehouse, Bai Jin was in his hideout .

There was a bolt of lightning surrounding his arm, and the lightning illuminated his face . There was a sense of eeriness in his eyes .

Bai Jin flipped his palm, and the lightning bolt fused into his skin and vanished .



Ding .

The computer on the table in front of him lit up . He received a confidential e-mail . Bai Jin clicked on the new mail .

"Target for assassination: Wang Yuan

"Assignment Location: East Stardragon, 20km North of Seagull City, River Valley Manor

"Strength of Defense: 214 troops, 14 contract killers, Moonlight (Dark), Hunter (Dark), Volcano (Dark), Golden Fox (Dark), Mr . Black (Scorpion)… There are sufficient defensive structures and firepower .

"Bounty: 2 million"

Bai Jin's eyes dimmed and muttered coldly, "You really expect me to make a move when the bounty is merely two million? How can you put me on the same level as the other trash assassins in the market?"

He sent a mail back to reject the offer .

A moment later, another e-mail entered the inbox . The bounty had been raised to six million .

"That's more like it . " Bai Jin gave a sly grin . There was an air of evilness and arrogance around him .

All along, Bai Jin had only cared about the bounty he would receive . He had no other goals in mind .

'The Raging Bolt' Bai Jin, was a heinous criminal that managed to escape countless of pursuits made by the various authorities of the six nations . His superpower could cause massive destruction . There were countless bounty hunters, agents, and executive officers of the Germinal Organization who had perished at his hand . The total exceeded three digits! He could even penetrate the intense flanks of military forces .

The individual combat strength on Planet Aquamarine was like a pyramid . There were three sections of the pyramid . The ones on the lowest level were mostly the recently awakened superhumans and normal warriors with a great deal of battle experience . The second level was mostly superhumans like Pang Kuang, who were executive officers of the Germinal Organization and secret agents of the intelligence agencies of the six nations . The third level was especially rare . These individuals were at least LV 40 and above . They were the trump cards of their respective nations or super criminals or faction leaders . Bennett could be placed at the pinnacle of the third level of the pyramid .

Bai Jin was a superhuman who could enter the third level!

…

In the evening, Wang Yuan gathered everyone .

"I need to make a trip to the Seagull City to meet with Division 13 . I need to bring some powerful individuals with me for protection, and the rest of you guys will remain here to guard the manor . "



Before anyone could even respond, Wang Yuan started pointing out the selected few . "Moonlight, Volcano, Hunter, Golden Fox, and Mr . Black, I need you to protect me for this trip . I will raise the rewards for you guys . If you all are unwilling to do so, I will not force it upon you . "

"No problem . " Hunter was the first to respond . The other few agreed to the request .

Han Xiao knew that if he rejected the request, he would fail his mission . He agreed to it and looked toward Bennett . "Is he going?"

Bennett nodded and said, "I am coming along . "

Han Xiao's heart sank . Bennett was able to protect Wang Yuan . As such, the danger from the mission would be concentrated on Han Xiao and his fellow killers .

With Han Xiao's gaming experience, he was instantly able to sniff out something amiss in the mission . At this point in time, perhaps it was better not to be too complacent and stay alert . Instead of saying something to boost the confidence, it was better for Han Xiao to take a step back and say something to heighten the sense of vigilance among his teammates so that they would be able to tide through the tough mission .

The team followed Wang Yuan into the vehicle and headed toward Seagull City . Han Xiao realized that the people on the car did not speak at all . They all had an air of 'don't come and talk to me; I need to stay cool . ' Han Xiao had trouble to find anyone to banter with .

Looking behind him, Han Xiao saw Golden Fox hiding in another corner, and she was staying as far as she could from him as possible . When Han Xiao looked toward her, she immediately turned to avoid eye contact with Han Xiao .

I only made a small joke out of her . Is such a reaction really necessary? Han Xiao was speechless .

At the other side of the forest, Di Su Su, who was monitoring the situation, also set off to follow Wang Yuan's party .

"The target has left the manor . They are heading toward Seagull City . There are plenty of assassins following . Continuing to monitor closely . "

…

The night sky was studded with stars, illuminating Seagull City .

This city of Stardragon was a heavy industrial city . There were plenty of factories in the outskirts . The huge chimneys of the factories were like gigantic fingers pointing into the sky . Since the city was filled with factories, there was a unique sense of heaviness in the atmosphere of the city .

The sentry guard received instructions from the higher-ups and let Han Xiao and the others pass .

Once the vehicle went past the sentry post, it was met with a black car from Division 13 at the roadside . An agent approached and said, "Mr . Wang Yuan, Officer Mo is waiting for you at the base . "

"Please lead the way . "



The agent from Division 13 saw the heavily armed assassins and immediately fell silent . He did not say another word in the end . He went up his car to lead the way .

The two cars drove all the way to the curfew area that fell under the jurisdiction for the Seagull City branch of the department . Only at the gates that blocked access to the area did the agent mention that weapons were not allow into the cordoned sector .

Wang Yuan nodded . He then turned around and said to the assassins, "You guys will spend a night in Seagull City . Assemble here at the same time tomorrow . "

After the instruction, Bennett and Wang Yuan entered the base .

The assassins were left to themselves .

Volcano was a massive Shanuk . He said in his deep voice, "What do you guys plan to do?"

Hunter grinned and said, "I'm going to the bar to have some fun . "

He then glanced at Golden Fox and smiled . "Do you want to come with me?"

Golden Fox smiled and wave her hand to reject Hunter . "Forget it, I am more interested in suave guys . "

Hunt was unhappy to hear the words of Golden Fox and snarled .

"Hunter, I'll go with you . " Volcano laughed out loud . He looked and Moonlight and asked, "What about you?"

Moonlight was expressionless . He solemnly replied, "I will be patrolling around here . "

Volcano then invited Han Xiao to join them enthusiastically . Han Xiao waved his hand to say no . Upon seeing that, Volcano did not continue to pressure Han Xiao .

The five assassins went their separate ways .

There's time for free and easy activities in the fifth round . I suppose the danger could arrive at any time…

Han Xiao thought about it . He did not want to just waste the precious free time . He then decided to complete the prize-pool mission that was offered in Seagull City .

Since danger was bound to arrive, it was better for Han Xiao to not waste the time and accomplish some other tasks . He did not need to hide and make other preparations to face the impending threat .

As Han Xiao walked on the street, he could sense someone in a black windbreaker hiding under the darkness of the night . His heart skipped a beat, and he felt that there was someone following him .
