Chapter 916: Two Years 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Somewhere in the underground space in Blackboard Academy, a simple Mech which only had its skeleton built was quietly erected inside the hangar. Unlike the surrounding black standard Mechs, this Mech’s body was entirely made of the most advanced middle-grade material, using Erm Alloy Steel as its skeleton system. Through the empty skeleton, one could see the heart of the engine flashing a white light.
The entire Mech was like a giant’s skeleton frame, but with a vibrant heart.
The Mech’s body was seven meters tall, with a long tail like a Tyrannosaurus rex hanging behind it. Although the main body material had not yet been filled in, it had already given people a strong sense of terror.
Around the body were a large number of thick black cables connecting to it, as well as large and small robots that were constantly going up and down, working on the details. There were several engineers below executing remote commands.
The Mech’s body was facing a white semi-circular observatory platform which extended from the wall. Although it was enclosed with thick, high-strength glass, the condition of the Mech could be clearly seen from the inside of it.
At this time, a few people were standing in the observatory platform.
All of them were wearing dark-black military uniforms and they were tall and striking. A tight black belt was pulled diagonally from the shoulder and buckled at the waist to give off a concise and capable temperament.
“Captain Nono, your Mech’s body has been built for two years with an investment of 1.8 billion. The major systems are all in place, except for the last one. Filling in the main material will complete it all. I was wondering, if you are satisfied with the engineering process of our White Dragon Base?”, a middle-aged man with short white hair asked with a faint smile.
As one of Blackboard Region’s Black Flood Party in-house Mech manufacturing base, he had personally led his students and vice-president to oversee this Mech for two years, giving serious attention to this young man.
Using two years to build a Mech from scratch, especially an exclusive Mech, was not considered a long time. However, having half of the base concentrating on processing just one Mech, it was extremely shocking.
White Dragon Base manufactured hundreds of units of standard Mechs every year. Now all of them were discontinued in order to give way to this huge investment of exclusive Mech.
All this was due to the terrific strength of the young man in front of him.
Thinking of this, the man’s heart could not help but trembled.
He looked at this strong, lion-like man standing in front of himself.
He was probably twenty-two years old but was already able to create his own Exclusive Mech… Such a genius was undoubtedly rare even in Black Flood Party. After all, a Level Five pilot, who was also this rich, was hard to come by, what more such a young one.
Hearing his question, the young man in front chuckled.
“Don’t say that. These two years were all dependant on the full support of Major Baylor to reach this level of progress. If it were the normal manufacturing speed in other places, don’t even think about it without at least three to five years. Many things could not be that easily arranged even with a lot of money.”
“You are very modest, but for the next filling material, we will need you to prepare it as soon as possible. According to your plan for the Mech, the filling material must be of higher grade. For the best kind of materials to be used in a Level Five Mech, I’m afraid the cost…” Major Baylor didn’t finish his sentence, but everybody knew what followed.
Such high-grade materials could not be bought with Universal Units.
Garen smiled and looked at the white shimmer that was wrapped around the engine of his Mech’s body. In it were vague traces of blood. It was the special luster of Blood Silver.
In the past two years, he had sold most of the Mastery Energy Ore through his teacher and had gotten lots of the materials for the manufacturing of Exclusive Mech. However, because the materials he needed were too high-graded, it was very difficult to find all of them even through the exchange with his teacher. Therefore, after spending so much time, he had barely managed to gather most of the things. Now, he only lacked one thing, the main filling material of the Mech’s body.
“The filling material must first meet the conductivity of Willpower. Then, it is the hardness index, tenacity index, memory metal index, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, temperature tolerance, et cetera. I have carefully selected. The best one should be Ring Light Silver”, Garen replied.
“Ring Light Silver? This is a rare metal that is difficult to find even in the whole of Blackboard Region…” Baylor frowned slightly. He was only euphemistically reminding him, but he was speechless on the inside. Ring Light Silver was a type of precious metal that the general pilots could only manage to buy small portions of to fuse into their own Mech’s body for the purpose of enhancing the performance of the Mech’s body. Nonosiva actually wanted to use Ring Light Silver to completely build the entire Mech’s body. This was no different from building a house with diamonds! Luxury to the extreme!
“I’ve got some prospects in this matter”, Garen did not say much.
With the full support of Blackboard Academy these two years and the full support of Teacher Van Doe, everything was going well. However, the only thing that made him unhappy was that Fila had advanced again and he seemed to be ready to break through to Twin Moon Level.
As one of the top geniuses that had emerged in recent decades, the recent progress of Fila was getting increasingly faster, probably triggered by Medero.
It was said that within a month’s time, he would be able to reach Twin Moon Level.
Garen himself was still at Level Five without the slightest improvement. Instead, he had familiarize himself with a variety of skills in the area of Energy Machinist. His Energy Machinist Willpower had entered Level Two. The Energy Machinist’s computing power advancing method was very strange. The Willpower imprint did not exist in the body at all, so that even with potential points, the existence of the Energy Machinist imprint could not be found.
This made Garen very surprised. In the case that the pilot’s training method could not be advanced, he chose to focus on the area of Energy Machinist. After raising the intelligence attribute to eight points, his computing power had leaped a big step and successfully entered Level Two. However, there was bit of trouble with Level Three. The required computing power actually rose a lot which made Garen faintly sceptical that he seemed to lack a very important thing of an Energy Machinist. He did not believe that all the Energy Machinists in this world could have much stronger computing power than he had now.
After talking to Baylor about the details of the Mech’s body processing, Garen left White Dragon Base and returned to his villa that was on a mountain nearby.
In these two years, his parents had opened a construction company and used the ties that Garen pulled to acquire projects, earning with much joy. Every year, they would easily earn millions of Universal Units.
After the disappearance of his brother Baylon, the family slowly got used to life without Baylon, whereas the only sister of Garen did not go outside and mingle around much anymore. Instead, she was hooked on gambling. She would mix with some so-called princesses’ clique all day long in the name of Garen and was living it up.
Garen was too lazy to bother about her. Now, he was already the eighth grade elite of Blackboard Academy Inner Courtyard. After continuously jumping grades and passing the assessments easily, he had successfully became Teacher Van Doe’s not-very-outstanding, but also not-a-mediocre disciple.
By virtue of the reputation and influence of Black Flood Party and the conflict with Fila, he also had minor fame in Inner Courtyard and had actually entered the top 100 in the overall rankings.
Inside the villa, Garen had just entered the door when he saw a familiar figure sitting on the couch in his hall, boringly clicking on the TV.
“Celine, no training today?” He smiled and walked over, taking took off his coat and handing it to the maid. Someone beside sent over a warm natural juice.
It was handed to Celine but Garen took it and drank it himself.
Celine was dressed in a tight-fitting, white leather suit with a little dark golden flower logo on her shoulder. It looked somewhat mysterious.
Glancing at Garen, she grinned.
“Is your Mech completed? Running over there every day, you think it’s a junk battleship that could be completed in such a short time?”
This girl kept shoulder-length hair, but also seemed to have dyed her hair, the same black as Garen’s. Her body was getting hotter, her front and back protruding, waist slender, legs slim and powerful. She had one of her leg crossed and both arms laid out on both sides of the sofa. It was very chic and gave off a strong and powerful feeling like that of a leopardess.
“It is still lacking the last material, Ring Light Silver”, Garen sat down, grabbed the remote control board next to her and changed the TV to a military channel.
“Damn, still fighting to watch TV with me. How old are you now? Already a captain yet still snatching the TV from me, an ordinary student!” Celine retorted.
“You broke through?” Garen smiled and sized her up. The Willpower force field had already reached the zenith of Level Four. Indeed, this girl was from a big household. There was no shortage of resources and her talent was not-too-bad. It seemed that she could use her own Exclusive Mech before the age of thirty.
“Although I’m not as abnormal as you are, I could still manage to advance.” Celine nodded arbitrarily. “Black Flood Party’s top talents like you cannot be compared with me, this type of small household. Tsk tsk. Look at you. Ring Light Silver. Although I have guessed that you are very ambitious, yet using Ring Light Silver as material…” She put her thumb up, indicating that she was incomparable with him.
“Does your side have a way to source this?”
“I can find some of it. How much do you want?”
“Five tons”, Garen lifted up a hand.
“I can only provide you with half of it”, Celine frowned. “The household also has a great demand for Ring Light Silver. It is priced according to the internal procurement. With my authority, I could give you half price.”
“Thanks a lot then. This can also save me a lot of money”, Garen smiled.
“Why don’t you just go and die! With tens of millions of income a month, you would have made at least a thousand million in these two years! Talk about saving more money!” Celine scorned.
Garen himself however, had a clear understanding in his heart. The absorption of White Rainbow Stone was of no use to him anymore and the progress of Living Secret Technique was extremely slow. It had already been two years but, it was only eighteen percent complete. From the original two percent till now, it seemed that there was a direct resistant to the Rainbow Stones. The advancing of Hellfrost Peacock Technique Level Six seemed to be harder than all the previous levels.
Most of the Mastery Energy Ore that he obtained had been sold to acquire nearly three billion worth of materials. Most of them were spent on the Mech while the leftovers were used to purchase some materials and technologies for the Energy Machinist’s experimental platform. He did not have much left now.
However, fortunately, the cost of the Ring Light Silver should not exceed one billion, and so the money at hand could still cover it.
“There will be an auction very soon. Although this item, Ring Light Silver, is rare, but the annual output is also very large. The main reason is that its expense is huge, so the shortage of output leads to a high price. The finale of that auction is a piece of four-tons, natural Ring Light Silver. The purity is said to be very high. If you are interested, you can go and have a look”, Celine mentioned briefly.
She then added another sentence.
“Fila is also said to be going.”
“Fila?” The corner of Garen’s mouth ticked up slightly. “This guy recently had been snatching the Rainbow Stone mine source from me and putting a lot of effort into doing it.”
“What are you going to do? That person is probably a Twin Moon Level powerhouse”, Celine was suddenly piqued.
“So what? As long as I don’t go out of the region and if he dares to touch me in Blackboard Region, my senior brother would also dare to take action against him in the open”, Garen was not worried about this at all even though Fila took him seriously. His Black Wind, which could only be released once an hour originally, could now be released dozens of times without any problem. He could even release a plume of the more advanced black smoke. This was the powerful capability that could only be used by the Divine Wind General and it belonged to a more purified Black Wind. Although it took a longer time to build a superimposed pyramid, it could already reflect his terrific savvy. It did not matter if the body constitution was slow, his understanding of Black Wind was unattainable for anyone.
A Divine Wind General’s strength was that wherever one went, black smoke would fill that place. Just with a horrific automatic territory-liked attack, it could easily destroy any lower-level pilots.
