Although Sheyan was quite depressed when he saw the ridiculous prerequisite of 1,000 achievement points, the promotion to Colonel was something that Sheyan deserved. To be precise, it was a reward for Sheyan after he successfully landed on Uplos, went through a series of hardships and obstacles, and finally relayed the truth about the rich mineral veins on Uplos through the built-in camera of Cyborg No. 1.
Sheyan still had a large number of Pi element ingots in his personal storage! This thing was the real highlight of the show!
Sheyan knew that it was better to have one bird in the hand than two in the bush. He believed that the guys in the Alliance also understood this. Although the mineral content on Uplos was rich, it did not necessarily mean that it could be quickly converted into high-purity elements that could be used. It was just like how everyone knew that there was an abundance of oil in the sea, but all the countries still had their eyes set on the Middle East.
Uplos could be said to be the epitome of barren hills and turbulent rivers. Even putting aside the existence of the Predators, just the two terrifying asteroid belts alone made it extremely difficult to transport a series of exploration and mining machines to the planet, let alone put them into production and then provide a stable supply.
Well, even if the machines were put into production, who could guarantee that the Predators would not come and destroy them? It would take decades to build a series of production lines, but it would only take a few seconds to destroy them.
So, in the final analysis, Sheyan and the other contestants had painted a beautiful picture, but the starving Empire still had to rely on the Pi element ingots they currently carried with them to save their lives.
Sheyan walked into Major General Mungo's office with this mentality in mind. Well, judging from the change in the sequence of the bald man's epaulets, he had now successfully been promoted to Lieutenant General.
When Sheyan walked into the office, Mungo was holding his chin, which was badly shaved, while carefully watching a battle replay and the relevant damage data. Sheyan could tell at a glance that the screen showed the scene of Lieutenant General Mungo mobilizing nearly half of the mobile combat force of the fortress to fly into the asteroid belt to support him.
Obviously, the bastard had been silently putting pressure on Sheyan since the moment he arrived.
But although Sheyan clearly knew this, he still fell for it. Because Sheyan had never experienced flying in a meteorite belt where most of his life depended on luck. Sheyan had to admit that the moment he flew out, he was touched to see a large number of friendly warships disregarding casualties to welcome him.
When Mungo saw Sheyan, he paused the screen and sighed at Sheyan.
"Colonel, I need your help."
It wasn't convenient for Sheyan to reject, but he also didn't want to suffer a loss. Therefore, he could only choose to remain silent.
Silence is golden! Now, if Sheyan said even half a word, it might be worth tens of millions!
Mungo talked for a long time, mostly about how he had overstepped his authority and mobilized the fleet to rescue Sheyan. As a result, the fleet had suffered heavy casualties, and the higher-ups wanted to hold him accountable.
However, Sheyan had already learned most of the facts from Archer's mouth. He knew that this guy had hugged an incomparably thick golden thigh and was simply acting like a tyrant in the base. He had violated the rules and overstepped his authority more than anyone else! Mobilizing the fleet without permission was nothing!
Therefore, Sheyan decided not to say anything. What could Mungo do when he met a troublemaker like Sheyan? He still had to ask for Sheyan's help. He couldn't possibly punish Sheyan directly with military law. That would only be counterproductive.
The two talked for nearly two hours. Mungo talked until he was foaming at the mouth, while Sheyan's ears were almost calloused from listening to him. Sheyan didn't believe that Mungo was the only one who was interested in this stuff. If Mungo didn't shop around, he would never express his stance.
At this point, what else could Mungo do? Just as he was about to lay his cards on the table with a bitter smile, someone knocked on the door from outside. Without waiting for Mungo's reply, the door quietly slid open to both sides!
Next, a row of burly soldiers in dark red battle armour walked straight in. All of them had the rank of Major. Sheyan could feel an indescribable aura of death from these people, as if their lifespan had been forcibly squeezed out. Sixty years of their lifespan had been compressed into six years, and they seemed to be able to enter their best state at any time.
The group of soldiers in dark red armour lined up neatly in two rows, completely ignoring Mungo. Then, a major activated the holographic projection device, and a man who was no stranger to Mungo walked in through the door. It was none other than Major General Fiji, who had an unpleasant encounter with Mungo before. The guy licked his lips and looked at Mungo with great interest. "What's the matter with you?"
"Surprised, aren't you? My old friend, I'm supposed to be in the military court right now. "
Mungo snorted coldly.
"Scarlet Guard … You actually got on the old man's good side? Strange, what value does a dog like you have that he would take a fancy to? "
Major General Fiji guffawed and said.
"I didn't, but I didn't expect that my selfless act of selflessly providing the flagship FJ01 would become my life-saving straw. Since my informant came back alive, the 166 Pi element strips with 99.999% purity he brought with him naturally became my greatest value!"
Sheyan immediately understood. Ronnie and Major General Fiji had been in cahoots for a long time! Moreover, Major General Fiji could see that Ronnie had put in a lot of effort, so now that Ronnie had returned safely, he must have given priority in selling his Pi element strips to Fiji.
Dardanian's brain was seriously injured, so he could only be healed after returning to the Nightmare Realm. That was to say, Major General Fiji had indeed gained the upper hand when Sheyan's attitude was still unclear. After all, only the things in his hands would belong to him.
At that moment, the holographic image flashed, and the 'old man' mentioned by Pheeji once again appeared through the 3D holographic image. The old man was unusually gentle this time. He first thanked Sheyan for his contribution to the Empire, then began to check the number of Pi element ingots in Sheyan's hands.
Sheyan said that he would be carrying the Wasp, but he also brought several rare things with him, such as the royal jelly (ant dew) of the One-Horned Flying Ants that could increase four-dimensional attributes, as well as the body fluid of the Xenomorph eggs, which could absorb 33% of acidic damage when smeared on the body … These things took up a lot of space, so he only brought back 221 Pi element strips in total.
Of course, Sheyan could not sell all of them, so he gave a round number of 200 strips, which was quite a shocking number. When the old man heard that, he continued to persuade Sheyan to cooperate with him, but Sheyan just smiled and said nothing. He was a man who would not act unless he saw some incentive.
However, the old man would not give up so easily. He called Ronnie over to explain himself, which immediately dispelled Sheyan's concerns.
It turned out that the Nightmare Realm and the human Empire were also in a cooperative relationship. Since they were cooperating, there would be times when both sides would take what they needed. The Empire could naturally influence the Realm to a certain extent. The Pi element strips in Sheyan's hands were completely useless. It was like bringing a ton of # 97 gasoline back to ancient times. Therefore, it was best to trade with the Empire.
Ronnie provided them with 150 Pi element strips in exchange for the following:
First of all, the achievement points required for the next military promotion would be reduced by 50%.
Second, they would have three opportunities to choose missions within the Empire. For example, they could choose not to go on missions that they felt were dangerous, while missions with high cost-performance ratio would have priority.
Next, they would obtain the Empire's Purple Star Medal, which would grant them additional privileges, discounts, and the right to purchase the new honorary dosage. Sheyan had seen the two most important points. When he attacked contestants with lower military ranks, the damage he dealt would be increased by 20%.
There was also the new honorary dosage, which was a medicine with a single cooldown. It was very powerful. It could instantly increase the maximum HP of the user by 1,500 for 24 hours. This medicine could also be auctioned off!
What followed next was also the most important part of the show!
In order to thank Ronnie for his contribution to the Empire, the Realm would provide Ronnie with the raw materials for a Blood Weapon. As for the specific weapon, the Realm generously allowed Ronnie to choose for himself!
***
When Sheyan saw the list of conditions, especially the last one, he could not help but feel a rush of excitement. He almost agreed to it right away! But at that moment, the holographic projection flickered again, and a person walked out.
It was a very casual, sloppy and gentle young man. At first glance, the young man looked lazy and impetuous, like a typical slovenly rich kid. But only from the occasional glint in his eyes could one feel his arrogance and sharpness.
Since the old man was here, Mungo obviously could not compete with him in terms of aura alone, so he naturally had to look for the people above him.
Prince Pombaru was currently a core member of the Empire's Big Ben Research Institute. But even though the Big Ben Research Institute could mobilize the resources of the entire Empire, it also consumed a huge amount of resources. They also lacked Pi element bars! How could Prince Pombaru not be angry when he heard Mungo's words and heard that half of the Pi element bars had already been stolen by the old man?
Therefore, as soon as Prince Pombaru appeared, he immediately took over the weapons system of the base without saying a word. He directly used laser cannons and machine guns to kill the 20 Scarlet Guards! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
