Last Totem Novel - Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Coercion
“Ji … Ji … Ji … Ji … Ji … Ji … Ji … Ji …” In the blink of an eye, dense bullets swarmed over, causing the weeping lacewings to stagger and wail endlessly.

In midair, Tie Zha pulled on the rocker and spun around, causing the upper body of the mech to spin. With the help of this swirling force, the robot arm suddenly swung and the heavy sword flew out like a meteor towards the hyena-type mecha behind it!

“Bang!” With a muffled sound, the heavy hilt of the sword smashed into the head of the hyena-type mecha that was wildly firing, knocking it to the ground. After landing on the ground, the Wolf-type mecha immediately brandished its huge iron fist and smashed open the Weeping Chrysopa beside it. Then, it ran at full speed towards the Hyena-type mecha that could not stand up.

“Brother Tie, what are you doing?” Bai Xiaoyun asked weakly.

“If you shoot again, I’ll kill you!” Tie Zha threatened loudly, manipulating the mecha to pick up the heavy sword on the ground and slaughter it back into the swarm of weeping flies. In an instant, sharp hisses and engine roars interweaved. The Wolf-type mecha brandished its heavy sword and killed the Screaming Chrysopa like it was being torn to pieces. Wherever the blade of the sword came, it brought along patches of blood.

In an instant, the dark green paint was dyed dark red. The armor was splashed with viscous blood, and broken bones and minced meat were hanging between the joints. Not long after, Tie Zha killed all of the weeping flies, leaving the rest scattered and fleeing.

[Driver, you have completed the additional quest [Swarm Chase], earning 10,000 taels of Startup Capital and 3,000 exp of Quest Experience Points]

[Battle Experience Statistics: Eliminate 37 Red Soil Winged Chrysopa, Increase Experience by 37*500]

[Experience Statistics: Battle 18500 exp, Mission 3000 exp, Total 21500 exp]

[3000 exp deducted, your rank has been upgraded to sergeant] [6000 exp deducted, your rank has been upgraded to sergeant] [9000 exp deducted, your rank has been upgraded to second lieutenant]

[You still need 8500 exp from next level] [You already have permission to apply for the Mech (Intermediate) exam]

[Mission complete, ready to leave instance dungeon mode, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 …]

When the number jumped to “1”, the main screen trembled, and the surrounding scenery changed slightly. The corpses and pits of the weeping flies were gone, and the blood and debris stuck to the mecha disappeared as if nothing had happened.

Iron Slag looked at the data screen. The damage to the mecha and fuel consumption were still there, and there was no change after leaving the instance dungeon.

“Hahaha, I’ve completed my mission. I still have three thousand experience points left. Hahaha, I’ve upgraded to sergeant. That’s great.” Bai Xiaoyun’s excited voice came from the speaker.

“You almost hit me just now.” Tie Zha said in a deep voice.

“Hahaha, is that so?” Bai Xiaoyun said happily.

“If what happened just now had happened in the real world, I would have already killed you.” Tie Zha said indifferently, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

“Ah …” “Fire at friendly forces is the most serious act of betrayal.” “Don’t be so nervous. This is fake, okay? A virtual world.”

“You’ll feel pain when you get out of here, I promise.” Tie Zha threatened.

“Brother Tie, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again next time. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I can do anything you want me to do …”

Bai Xiaoyun’s pleading voice came from the loudspeaker. Tie Zha snorted coldly and said, “Next time, I will definitely kill you.”

“Thank you, Brother Tie. I don’t dare to do it again. There won’t be a next time … Where’s the money?” “What money?”

“Starting capital.” Iron Slag reminded Bai Xiaoyun that if he chose the Hyena-type mecha, the system would compensate him by 1,000 tunas.

“Oh ~ This money is for Brother Tie. I’ll turn around immediately.”

[Beep … Bai Xiaobai remitted 1000 thanas to your Ingrail account … Current account deposit 11000 thanas]

After receiving the remittance, Tie Zha extracted fuel from Bai Xiaoyun’s mecha through the pipeline. The battle just now had consumed half of his fuel. If he didn’t add one more point, he wouldn’t be able to fight if he encountered any more dangers along the way.

Moments later, the fuel level of the Wild Wolf mecha returned to 60%, basically meeting the emergency needs, while the Hyena mecha still had 40% fuel left. As long as it didn’t fight, it wouldn’t be a problem to travel tens of kilometers. Then, Tie Zha opened the holographic map and led Bai Xiaoyun towards the base.

This place belonged to the Gobi Desert. Apart from the knife-like Stone Head Mountain, the surroundings were very spacious. At a glance, it was filled with cracked and dry scarlet red soil. Along the way, one could occasionally see thickets of shrubs growing on the bulging mound. This tiny grey-green color brought a trace of life to this desolate land.

Bai Xiaoyun said that Ingrail’s landform was created by simulating the alien plane Desert 5. It is said that the land area of Desert 5 is very vast, hundreds of times larger than the total land area of this world, but no matter where you go, it is still this Gobi terrain …

As he spoke, a large building with a gray exterior wall and glass roof appeared on the distant horizon. In the evening sun, the grey exterior wall reflected a metallic luster, like a fortress made of steel.

The two of them quickened their pace and finally arrived at Base No.1 before dark. As they approached the gate of the base, the gate automatically opened with a whoosh. The moment they stepped into the base, a mechanically synthesized female voice came from the speaker.

[You have entered a safe area. You will not be attacked if you go offline here.]

[Pilot, welcome to Base No.1. Right in front of you is the lounge. On the left is the Mech and Arms Market. On the right is the Repair Supply Center.]

[Reminder again, please do not disclose your personal information to strangers so as to avoid fraud. Please reconfirm that you have received the reminder]

“Long-winded.” Iron Slag said impatiently.

[Please reconfirm that you have received the prompt] The mechanical synthetic female voice sounded again and Tie Zha helplessly said “OK”.

[Driver, have a nice stay in Ingrail]

After the announcement ended, Tie Zha headed straight for the weapons market, preparing to purchase some equipment. However, not long after entering the market, Bai Xiaoyun’s dazed voice came from the speaker.

“Brother Tie … I’m sleepy … I’ll sleep for a while …” Tie Zha shook his head, opened the trading platform, and started browsing the price of the mecha.

[Basic] [Hyena, 65,000 tannas] [Wild Wolf, 85,000 tannas] [Flamingo, 60,000 tannas] [Thunderflame, 50,000 tannas] [Black Diamond, 70,000 tannas]

[Advanced] [Tiger, 300,000 tanas] [Falcon, 280,000 tanas] [Zero, 180,000 tanas] [Wind Ninja, 150,000 tanas] [Misty, 250,000 tanas] [Escort, 120,000 tanas]

“So expensive.” Tie Zha muttered to himself. He also planned to buy a Tiger Style. It seemed that there was nothing he could do for the time being. He had always liked the Tiger Mecha. In the past, when he was in Tieshan Town, he would run to the garrison every once in a while and force Old Di to give him the authority to drive the Tiger Mecha.

Tiger mecha can be seen as an upgrade to the Wolf mecha. Although they are made by different companies, they are designed by the same designer. Wolf mecha is codenamed x3, while tiger mecha is codenamed x5. From this, it can be seen that they are products of the same family. Compared to the Wolf mecha, the Tiger mecha has a more reasonable structure, more advanced steel, stronger engines, and a better production process.

After reading the information on the mecha, Iron Residue opened the list of weapons on the side and started browsing.

[12 mm Rotary Six-barrel Vulcan, 1000 tannas] [15 mm Rotary Six-barrel Vulcan, 1200 tannas] [18 mm Rotary Six-barrel Vulcan, 1500 tannas]

[5.56 mm caseless projectile launcher, 3000 tannas] [19.1 mm heavy eleven barrels Garrint, 5000 tannas]

[20 mm cannon, 1,200 tanas] [25 mm cannon, 1,500 tanas] [30 mm cannon, 1,800 tanas]

[50mm Heavy Cannon, 2500 Tana] …

After hesitating for a moment, he clicked [12 mm Revolving Cylinder Six-barrel Vulcan Cannon * 2]. After the payment of 2,000 taels, two divine fire cannons appeared on the mech’s robotic arm.

Next was the purchase of ammunition. The bullets of the divine cannon were mainly divided into three types: ordinary bullets, instant explosive bullets, and armor piercing incendiary/explosive bullets. They are basically the same in price and have their own uses. Ordinary projectiles, also known as steel core projectiles, have a long range; Shorter range, weaker penetration, detonation after hitting the target, or after flying for a distance; The armor piercing flame/projectile has a medium range, strong penetration, and can burn after hitting the target.

Tie Zha directly clicked on 1,000 ordinary rounds and 1,000 armor piercing incendiary rounds. After paying 800 tunas, the two bullets were loaded onto two divine volcanoes each.

Finally, he bought a rocket launcher’s nest or missile on his shoulder, and because of the variety, he only clicked on a few common ones for comparison.

[Rockets]

[1.2 m 2-shot Blasting Rocket Launch Nest, 2600 Ta] [1 m 4-shot Blasting Rocket Launch Nest, 2800 Ta] [0.6 m 6-shot Blasting Rocket Launch Nest, 2800 Ta] [0.5 12-shot Blasting Rocket Launch Nest, 3500]

[1.2 m two armoured rocket launching nests, 2600 tanas] [1 m four armoured rocket launching nests, 3800 tanas]

[1m 3-shot Burning Rocket Launch Nest, 2600 Tana]

[Missile]

[1.25 m armoured depleted uranium piercing missile, heat source tracking 2000 Tantalum, sensor lock tracking 2,300 Tantalum, radar location tracking 3,200 Tantalum]

[1.25 m high explosive missile, heat source tracking 2000 Tantalum, sensor lock tracking 2300 Tantalum, radar location tracking 3200 Tantalum]

[1.25 m incendiary missile, heat source tracking 2000 Tantalum, sensor lock tracking 2300 Tantalum, radar location tracking 3200 Tantalum]

After a while, Iron Slag selected the “1m four-shot explosive rocket launching nest” and the “1.25 m armor piercing missile with sensor lock-in tracking”. After paying 5100 tunas, one more missile appeared on the right shoulder of the mech and one more rocket launching nest appeared on the left shoulder.

After acquiring the equipment, Tie Zha immediately went to the Repair Supply Centre and paid an additional 350 tonnes for maintenance and 200 tonnes for fuel. He paid a total of 7,900 tonnes, leaving 2,550 tonnes.

It was already two o’clock in the morning. Tie Zha did not feel sleepy, so he came to the rest center of Base No. 1 to find out about the situation. The lounge was filled with colorful mecha of various styles. Tie Zha picked up the keyboard at the side of the driver’s seat and placed it on his lap before turning on the lounge option.

[Mission Center] [Personal Transaction Center] [Join Public Chat Room] [Establish Private Chat Room] [Join Private Chat Room]

Iron Slag clicked [Join Public Chat Room], and the main screen changed. Line after line of chat messages appeared.

Fire Thief’s third disciple: “I heard that another beautiful woman has come to your student union this year. If you have any photos, send her to see.”

CSUM pupil: “You mean Secretary-General Bi Qinglan?” (CSUM is short for Central Silver City Military Academy, Central Silver University of Military)

The third disciple of the Fire Thief said, “Yes, it’s her.”

CSUM pupil: “I do have photos, but why should I send them to you?”

“Coercion, hurry up and send it.” “What you don’t send is coercion.” “CSUM’s are all threats.” “Hurry up and go back to primary school.” “Hey, who are you cursing?” “It’s good that you scold him. Why are you scolding us CSUM? Be careful that we kill you.” “Come on, who’s afraid of who!” “What’s your name? Do you dare to come out and fight one-on-one?” “Let’s meet at the entrance of Cosmos Cinema on Central Street right now! Those who don’t come are coercions.” “Alright, let’s go.” “Why aren’t you offline? Let’s go.” “Coercion, you go offline first.” “Forget it if you don’t dare. You’re threatening me.” “Your entire family is threatening.”

There was a quarrel in the public chat room, and the messages were dazzling to the point that they couldn’t figure out what they were cursing at each other …
