Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 174 173. The final goal of life is to be a security guard (rd update)
In fact, if this thing were really installed, any mercenary would exclaim "What a waste!"

Because independent mercenaries need to consider various situations in battle. For example, whether the battle will be too long, whether the enemy is a firepower or melee type...

Even the ammunition consumption has to be considered. Just think about it, what would happen if a machine was equipped with quadruple-mounted revolver machine guns produced by the Phantom Mist Group in a battle?

If all the spare ammunition is used up, the cost of replenishing the ammunition may cost all the money spent on this mission.

This is the case of consuming ammunition, while in close combat, one needs to consider more things like repairing the aircraft body, replacing old parts, repairing structures damaged after collisions, etc.

If Cypher really equipped himself with all these weapons, then once a fight broke out, his strategy would definitely be to first seize the opportunity to bombard the enemy with grenades.

Wait for the moment when the opponent's body loses balance, find an opportunity, and use the terrifying device that can eject firing pins to bombard the opponent's cockpit.

If this fails to knock down the enemy, you can immediately switch to the particle knife and chop it a few times. It is completely a melee-specialized machine.

As for this prohibited weapon... equipping it means losing all the weapons in his right hand. Sefer already has few weapons, and losing things... It's really a bit unreasonable.

Anyway, this thing was put on his body, and a strange thing popped out. It was hard to figure out what kind of fighting style this person had.

Sefer also found it strange, so he thought about it for a long time and felt that he might need to fill the hangar with some new weapons and equipment.

Now that we have the engine and weapons, the next step is to assemble them and see what methods the transformation agency plans to use to demarcate the territories of the various rivals who are eyeing us before the talks begin.

In other words, bargaining chips.

"First, help me find some weapons. Shoulder-mounted weapons are good, but they're not flexible enough. Put them at the back. Then, it would be best if there were some flexible weapons..."

Leica interrupted him: "The most flexible weapon is a pistol, but I don't recommend using a pistol because your body is too big and using a light weapon is a waste."

"Then you come up with a plan first, and I'll take a look at it later."

"I understand. I'll contact you later, Red Crossbow."

The reliable Laika ended the communication, and Seifer wandered around the car body with nothing to do during the day, checking the status of each cabin and thinking about how to allocate those cabins that were open but unoccupied.

As mentioned before, this is a "theoretically scientific research" vehicle. Apart from the sufficient secondary guns and the main gun with a magazine capacity, it is actually no more powerful than an ordinary small mobile base.

Therefore, the cabin function is also extremely tight, and the layout of the ammunition depot and ammunition feed chain is quite scientific and tightly protected.

Unless someone suddenly has an idea and shoots a bullet from the bottom up at the bottom of the car, it is generally impossible for the car body to explode.

Just waiting for time to slowly pass, Seifer was bored and looked outside. He unexpectedly discovered that when the storm subsided and only a little foehn wind was blowing, some high-temperature resistant detection devices extended from the body of the large stronghold.

Is this collecting solar energy? Or is it collecting thermal energy?
He was quite curious, but his professional ethics made him not intend to ask anything. He just watched quietly.

The food they made yesterday had not been finished yet. Sefer went to the restaurant and combined it with other ingredients at the right time. After the spicy hot pot was ready again, he sat down for a while.

Prepare to give others a little surprise.

----

The huge convoy set off again. In the storm that covered the sky, everyone gathered around Seifer in the relatively safe restaurant inside the car, marveling at him.

Dr. Mei's inventions generally surprised everyone, because Cypher, who had a straight face (expressionless) for thousands of years, now looked a little lively.

At Shengnai's request, Seifer was grinning, laughing, or frowning... Lin Shenxue tapped her tablet and said, "It looks a bit disgusting to see his rich expressions."

"Miyuki, remember to keep the engine room door closed today. If I see your left foot sticking out of the door, I'll shoot you out of the barrel."

"The captain is narrow-minded."

"I don't have a heart."

Lin Shenxue wordlessly put away her tablet and obediently lowered her head to eat, no longer struggling. Tien, on the other hand, came up, looked around, and nodded.

"Not bad, not bad, but you still need to manage your expression a little. A dignified boss and a dignified mercenary, or a mercenary who laughs and jokes, give people different feelings."

"Previously, your image in other people's databases was that of aloof yet polite. This independent mercenary status, combined with your licensed status, led to your being classified as a 'super lunatic.'"

Seifer placed a spicy hot pot with extra hot sauce in front of her. "Why?"

"No reason, think about it, you're a mercenary, how can you still be so calm? Mercenaries are supposed to be loud and bold, fearless, and all they care about is money."

Tien was not at all like the careful person she was, who placed the precious bottle of wine by the bed and patted the table every day to see it when she opened her eyes.

"When you meet someone stronger than you, you have to keep your tail between your legs, wag your tail obediently and wait for them to let you go. That's what being a mercenary is all about!"

She pointed at Seifer and said, "Think about yourself again. How do you look like an independent mercenary? You refuse to accept certain missions, and you're not willing to accept the company's individual offer, right?"

"And now you're still obediently following this convoy back... Have you forgotten what else we planned to do when we came out?"

Only then did Cypher wake up from the joy of obtaining weapons and engines and realize - oh, he did forget something.

He had originally come out intending to extort money from the "Hunter" company that was doing the final work, but after getting the things, he accidentally followed them because the group's fleet requirements were very clear.

"You have a point. Let me ask."

I immediately contacted the corporate mercenary, also known as 'Gao Shan' T-3, and asked him how he was incorporated into the team when he was actually the one who came to pick up the goods, and whether he could leave now. The other party responded immediately.

The method was to give Sefer a deposit of 15,000 yuan.

T-3 said cheerfully, "I was planning to explain the mission to you in detail when we got to Node City. Since you're asking now, I'll just go ahead and tell you."

"Before the meeting ends, we would like to hire you as a mercenary for perimeter defense. This is a deposit. After the mission is completed, there will be a reward of 80,000, as well as compensation based on the compensation provided by the support system."

As if afraid that Seifer would think this was a trap or contract fraud, he quickly handed over the support system task.

Seifer turned his head to look at Tien. "If you're just doing security to keep up appearances, then the income is far more than what you'd earn from going out hunting. After all, this doesn't include the cost of repairs and ammunition."

"That's true, but do you think if these three companies put pressure together, there won't be a fight?"

Then after the fight starts, the 'meeting is over' and we can just run away and be done with it.

　I'll update next month...
