Last Totem Novel - Chapter 152
Chapter 152 Saint Rank
“You” Tie Zha was so angry that he almost broke the keyboard. He snorted coldly and said that he didn’t want to invest. He went to find someone else.
“Brother ~ Xiaoqing is wrong ~ I will never dare again ~” Mu Yuqinxin hurriedly comforted in a soft voice. A person who ate and drank in Little Candle Lamp Fort, besides looking for her, who else could he find?
After a tiresome negotiation, Mu Yuqinxin agreed to provide 1000 credits loan to the iron slag at the rate of 5% per month. The repayment date was indefinite (on her own initiative). Tomorrow morning, she will allocate 1,000 credits from the Goddess Guard to her magnetic card for the iron slag to form a guild.
Tie Zha said that 300 credits was enough. He was worried that Mu Yu Ling Lan would be aware of the allocation of so many credits at once. Mu Yuqin thought that it didn’t matter. Mu Yu Ling Lan rarely interfered with the specific affairs of the Goddess Guard. She was the actual manager. The reason why her sister criticized her that day was because she had made extravagant spending and was not going home. Normally, Mu Yu Ling Lan would not care about how she spent money.
“She doesn’t care about her team. What is she doing all day?” Tie Zha asked curiously. Mu Yuqin said in her heart that Mu Yu Ling Lan was “meditating, praying, and studying secret manuals” every day, and had only gone out a few times since she entered school. She had been trying her best to break through to the realm of the Psionic Fountain, and it was estimated that this would be the case for the next few years. Tie Zha asked what was the point of doing so. He felt that the improvement of one’s strength was inferior to the improvement of one’s social status.
Mu Yuqinxin explained that when a psionic practitioner broke through to the Saint realm, their life span would greatly increase. Only women who had reached the Saint realm were qualified to compete for the Moon God Priest. Currently, there were no new generation Origin Energy practitioners in Notre Dame, so Mu Yu Ling Lan had a great chance. If she could become the next Moon God Priest, her current social status would become insignificant. Moreover, even if she could not become a Moon God Priest, as long as she could advance to Saint Rank, she would be able to gain a living space in the Rain Prayer Divine Hall of Silver City No. 13 in the future. If she could not reach the Saint realm in this life, then the future of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain and the two sisters would be on the verge of collapse, like a broken candle in the wind.
Just as Muyu Linglan had said, there was no family behind the two sisters. The only thing they relied on was the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. They didn’t have many choices, so they could only try their best to move forward.
Tie Zha really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he swallowed them back to the side of his mouth. After all, in this world, only the protection of experts was meaningful. Seemingly sensing the worry in his silence, Mu Yuqin said vigorously, “Big sister is very powerful. She will definitely become the strongest psionic power in the world.”
“Yes.” “Xiaoqing will also advance to Saint rank.” “Yes.” “Just wait and do it …” “Voles.” “Alright … let’s change the topic …”
After finishing her business, Mu Yuqinxin invited Tie Zha to join the quest team and asked him to help with the quest of Thunderous Beast Attack.
[Mission statement: Our drone spotted a lone Thunderous Beast hovering 15 km southwest of Base No. 1. You have to go there and find and destroy it.] [Mission statement: Our drone spotted a lone Thunderous Beast hovering 15 km southwest of Base No. 1.]
[Target: Destroy adult Thunderbeasts*1]
[Population limit: 20]
Looking at the number of people being limited, Tie Zha took a deep breath. The last time he defended against a large wave of Tyrannical Chrysopa and Stinger Bugs, the limit was only nine, but this Thunderous Beast was actually twenty. This meant that a Thunderous Beast needed twenty mecha to deal with it!
“What is a Thunderous Beast?” Tie Zha asked.
Mu Yuqinxin replied that the Thunderous Beast was a large-scale combat creature among the trans-Star race “Bee Ant Swarm” that resided in Desert No. 5.
Ever since several spatial rifts appeared on the central continent in Desert 5, the swarm of bee ants has become humanity’s biggest opponent. Cry flies, thorns, dragon flies, and other alien planar creatures all came from this race. Colony of bee insects usually consists of a queen bee or queen bee as the core, and several Hegemons of the Abyss as the control layer, forming communities of varying sizes. In the structure of the community, the bottom creatures had no intelligence and could only rely on their instincts. The Hegemon of the Abyss had some intelligence and could use brain waves to influence the behavior of the bottom creatures.
At this point, Mu Yuqinxin suggested that Tie Zha attend the class on “Otherworldly Creatures” whenever she was free. Because of the complex racial characteristics of the bee ant swarm, she would not be able to explain it clearly for a while.
“You haven’t said what a Thunderous Beast is yet.” Tie Zha reminded.
“Big Iron Beetle. Powerful and sturdy. Its entire body is covered in blade-shaped metal. There are two blade-shaped metal cutters on its lower jaw. It can cut through mecha at close range.” Mu Yuqinxin gave a brief description, then urged Tie Zha to make preparations, saying that she could start the task after gathering her men.
“Yes.” Tie Zha replied and went to the market to buy a new Wolf-type mecha, which was reconfigured with the same weapons and ammunition as last time. After buying the items, he paid a total of 85,000 tonnes for the mecha and 7,900 tonnes for the weapons and ammunition. In the blink of an eye, the funds in the virtual account dropped from T102,550 to T9,650.
After returning to the virtual lounge and calling for Bai Xiaoyun, Mu Yuqinxin sent a team message. After accepting it, the real-time status of the 20 mechs appeared in the upper left corner of the main screen. Tie Zha looked at it and subconsciously frowned, because he saw that CSUM Beast was on his teammates’ list.
“Teammates, come on!” Muyu Qinxin’s clear voice came from the loudspeaker.
“Encourage me with you.” “Everyone, let’s encourage each other.” “Assistant Qin encourages me.” “Let’s cheer each other on.” The team members responded.
At this moment, a discordant voice came from the speaker, “What’s going on? Why is there a hyena? Who added it?”
“I added it. Major Zhan Beast, do you have any objections?” Mu Yuqin asked.
“No … I’m fine, I’ll just ask.” The CSUM beast hurriedly replied.
“No problem, let’s begin.” Mu Yuqin ordered in a deep voice. Then, the main screen was full of drawings, as if it had flown into a blue light tunnel …
A few seconds later, everyone arrived at a red Gobi Desert. Beneath his feet was a semi-desertified land. Looking up, there were sparse yellow weeds growing everywhere.
Following that, Muyu Qinxin made some arrangements. Every three mecha was a team, responsible for searching an area. If you find any traces of the Thunderous Beast, immediately retreat and report the situation. Wait for your teammates to arrive before attacking.
“Hyena stance and Wild Wolf stance, listen carefully and don’t drag everyone down.” The CSUM warbeast reminded.
“I promise I won’t hold you back.” Bai Xiaoyun replied loudly. Hearing this silly voice, Iron Slag only wanted to pass by and slap him on the head, so that he could have a good response to this kind of person.
“Major Battle Beast, you’re right. I will appoint you as my deputy captain to assist me in this operation.” Mu Yuqin said in her heart.
“Yes, my goddess.” The CSUM beast said excitedly. Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown, and his mood became even more unhappy.
After assigning the mission, everyone spread out in all directions. While searching, Mu Yuqinxin answered Tie Zha’s voice. She said that she would ask the CSUM beast to take charge of the assault in front of her when the war started, and then she would pretend to be blocked by the network, unable to give any further instructions. At this time, the CSUM beast that rushed forward first would be locked onto by the Thunderous Beast, becoming the target of priority attacks. The others would only watch as the Thunderous Beast crushed the CSUM into pieces without receiving any orders.
“There’s no need. We should unite on the battlefield.” Iron slag said.
“Ya ~ Brother ~ What a good temper. I remember that everyone in Tieshan Town said that you are fierce. As long as you don’t agree, you will make a move.” Mu Yuqin said in surprise.
“That was before, and now he’s a teammate. It’s not good for everyone if he fails the mission.” Said Tie Zha.
“It’s just a virtual environment. Why don’t you teach him a little lesson?” Mu Yuqin asked.
“Even if it’s virtual, it shouldn’t be like this.” Tie Zha insisted.
“Brother ~ Do as Xiaoqing says. No one can detect our true intentions.” Mu Yuqin’s heart tempted, “Everything will proceed quietly. In the end, they will think that the problem caused by the delay in the academy’s network is not us.”
“Old Man Tie said that knowing it was more important than others.” Tie Zha continued to insist, his tone becoming serious.
“If you are his teammate, he might not treat you as his teammate. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. If something goes wrong, he will blame you immediately.” Mu Yuqin sighed in her heart and said dully, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have dragged him in, pedantic old man.” After she finished speaking, she cut off her voice.
A moment later, a voice came from the loudspeaker. One of his teammates found traces of the Thunderous Beast.
Tie Zha pushed the rocker and rushed to the scene. Not far ahead, the Thunder Beast was like a large truck with eight wheels behind it. Its entire body was covered in a metallic shell. The shell was covered with spikes and blades, making it hard to imagine that it was a living creature. Its four legs were particularly thick, covered in fine cuticle and thick hooves at the bottom, and instead of resembling the segments of insects, they resembled the four legs of ancient mammoths. Looking up, its two forelegs evolved into two giant sickles. The inside and outside of the sickle were blades that could be cut forward and pulled backward.
The Thunderous Beast was like a large truck that was welded with spikes. When it started to run and hit its target, the sound of its hooves was like thunder, and its momentum was magnificent. Even if it sat inside the mech, it would feel frightened and frightened.
“It’s locked onto me, requesting backup, requesting backup …”
At this moment, the Thunderous Beast was chasing after the mecha that had discovered it. The four large hooves fiercely stepped on the half-sandy red mud ground, raising dust all over the sky.
CSUM Beast: “Everyone is prohibited from firing. Stay where you are and wait for assembly.”
“I’m running out of gas, quickly save me!” “Wait, don’t worry. Before everyone arrives, you can drag it first.” “Come on, it’s going to catch up to me.”
On the radar, the blue cursor representing his teammates and the red cursor representing the Thunderous Beast were getting closer and closer.
“F*ck! You all won’t be able to save me even if I die.” The person being chased scolded.
CSUM Beast: “You deserve it. Whoever wants you to be discovered by it, why haven’t we been discovered by it?”
‘”I … When I found it, it found me …” “Do you understand covert operations?”
Tie Zha stared at the radar. His teammates’ blue cursors were converging from all directions, and the red and blue cursors were getting closer and closer. Looking at the trend, the mecha that had discovered the Thunderous Beast would be crushed into pieces before it could finish gathering. He narrowed his eyes, pushed the rocker, and rushed towards the Thunder Beast at full speed.
CSUM Beast: “What are you doing! Wolf stance, come back.”
Iron slag completely ignored the shouts from the loudspeaker and forcefully slapped the red emergency button. In an instant, two streaks of orange-red flames shot out from the back of the Wolf Style. The powerful thrust increased the speed of its advance to the extreme.
CSUM Beast: “Blood Wolf, are you deaf?”
“Boss, I’m here to help you.” Bai Xiaoyun shouted as he moved the hyena mecha closer to the red cursor.
