Chapter 2898: MachineryEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Otherwise, the Federation would have already had the ability to exchange for the V-70, and when dealing with the insect nest, the V-70 alone would not be enough.

Now, Collete suddenly became very confident.

Instructor Benny really had good judgment.

With Fang Heng around, is it really that difficult to set up a prism defense line?

In comparison, destroying a B-level insect nest seemed more like an impossible task.

"Long-term operations require soldiers to rest. I will leave two teams behind to build a temporary base and protect the construction of the prism tower," Collete said, pausing and glancing at the soldiers gathered not far away. "The rest of the soldiers need to return to the ship’s training pods for rest. We expect to return to the battlefield tomorrow morning and will cooperate with you to complete the mission."

"Alright, thank you."

Fang Heng nodded, his gaze focusing on the Federation war machine, the V-70, and he casually said, "This thing looks pretty good, where did you get it..."

"We don’t have such advanced products in the Federation. These were exchanged with the spawns using contribution points. These two war machines were originally supposed to be sent to the main battlefield, but as you might have heard, there’s been quite a bit of trouble over there," Collete explained.

"Really..."

Fang Heng clicked his tongue, feeling a bit regretful.

The V-70 war machine was perfect for dealing with the insect nest mother spiders.

"How much does it cost? Very expensive, I assume?"

"Yes, as you said, the war machines are indeed costly, each one requires 200,000 contribution points to exchange. Additionally, because they involve advanced technology from the spawns, they do not allow us to disassemble or reassemble them. I’ve heard that they have self-destruct mechanisms inside, and if dismantled, they will explode, affecting the player’s honor and contribution points with the spawns. Oh, and one more thing: transferring the war machine to another world via transition costs an additional 10,000 contribution points."

210,000?

Fang Heng glanced at his remaining contribution points.

The price didn’t seem too bad?

The Federation soldiers couldn’t continue fighting for long, but his zombie clones didn’t have such concerns.

If he could get the war machines’ assistance...

Forget about the B-level insect nests; handling C-level insect nests would be a breeze.

"How about you just sell these two to me? You can buy more from the spawns."

"Eh?"

Collete looked at Fang Heng, seeing that his expression didn’t look like a joke, and then asked, "You want to continue?"

"Yes."

"Alright!"

Collete readily agreed.

As long as it helped to complete the prism tower construction mission, Collete felt it was completely fine to help.

Delaying the two V-70s to the main battlefield wouldn’t have too much impact.

But if they were given to Fang Heng...

"Fang Heng, the Federation doesn’t allow the trade of strategic materials, but in this emergency situation, I can lend these two machines to you in the name of the Federation. You cannot take the war machines away from this world. Also, if the machines are damaged during the period, you’ll need to compensate for them at their original price. Do you confirm?"

"Can I? That’s great!"

A free rental?

That’s fantastic!

Fang Heng was very pleased with this arrangement.

This world was special. Even if he wanted to take the war machines with him, he wouldn’t be able to.

Collete took out the control panels for the war machines from his pocket, tapped a few times on the panel, and handed it to Fang Heng.

"These are the control panels for the two war machines. I’ve unlocked them. You’ll need to bind them again."

Collete paused and continued, "This is the maximum I can do within my ability, Fang Heng. I hope you can achieve something. That way, when the superiors ask, I’ll have something to say."

"Don’t worry, you’ve really helped a lot. I’ll make sure to give you a satisfactory result."

Fang Heng said, taking the control panel and walking toward the large war machine.

Collete watched him, feeling a slight stir in his heart.

Psychic abilities?!

Fang Heng stretched out his hand toward the spirit gemstone at the bottom of the spawns’ war machine, the V-70.

Buzz...

The spirit gemstone flickered with a faint light.

The spawns’ war machine was activated again, and the mechanical claws lifted its body upright.

Impressive!

It was evident from how easily Fang Heng controlled it remotely that his psychic abilities were definitely no small matter!

Collete couldn’t help but wonder.

What other hidden abilities did he have?

"Fang Heng, the front line is in urgent need. I need to return to handle the situation, so I won’t stay here any longer. By the way, there’s one more thing to remind you. The V-70 has high energy consumption, and the energy must be replenished back at the ship. It will take at least five hours to recharge."

"No problem, thanks."

"You’re welcome. If you run into any trouble, contact us immediately."

"Alright."

Fang Heng waved his hand, watching Collete and the soldiers board the transport ship as they left.

The remaining two Federation team captains looked at Fang Heng.

"Mr. Fang Heng, is there anything you need our assistance with?"

"Thanks, but no need. According to Collete, you two are responsible for the camp’s construction. I’ll go clear out a few lower-tier insect nests nearby."

"Understood."

The two officers, who were not familiar with Fang Heng and were both rather silent types, nodded in response and signaled their subordinates to return to the camp to carry out the construction tasks.

Fang Heng turned around, lightly tapping his toes to quickly leap onto the V-70’s shoulder, opening the survey instrument to check, and immediately began controlling the V-70 toward the next C-level insect nest.

Time to grind!

The D-level insect nests were no longer interesting.

Since he had a high-output V-70, he would just focus on grinding C-level insect nests!

Get as many as possible!

...

The next day.

Collete worked until 2:30 a.m., delivering the last batch of materials to the front line, and then provided Fang Heng with four additional V-70 war machines. Only then did he inject a potion and fall into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was just dawn. After finishing the first round of material transportation, he looked at the time and realized it was already close to noon.

At that moment, he finally remembered Fang Heng.

Considering how quickly he had cleared the insect nests yesterday, and with six V-70 war machines to assist, he should be able to clear even more insect nests?

Just as he was about to call her subordinates to ask, he heard the voices of soldiers at the entrance of the ship’s warehouse.

"Captain Gorn!"

Vice Captain Gorn had arrived.

Collete’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went to greet him.

"Captain, you’re here."

Gorn’s expression was not very good. Upon seeing Collete, he asked, "What’s going on? Why are half of the war machines that were supposed to be sent to the front line missing? Where are the rest? What happened?"

Collete had always been reliable in handling the materials, so Gorn wasn’t too worried about that. But something went wrong yesterday.

Since Collete was personally promoted by Gorn, he was more concerned.

"Some urgent situations came up, Captain. I have already reported this to Captain Giselle in advance. Perhaps you haven’t had the chance to review it yet."

Gorn immediately realized something and asked, "Is it the urgent mission from Fang Heng? Did you give the war machines to him?"
