Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 205 204. This is probably a kind of assembly toy (rd update)
Back in the lobby of the reformatory, the number of mercenaries here increased instead of decreased, and the number was beyond Sefer's imagination, and the atmosphere in the lobby was a bit strange.

The mercenaries formed their own small groups, separated from the others by a distance. Communication between them was quite rare, perhaps to the extent of...

"Sever, you must have fought hard. Are you okay after such a long battle?"

It was probably like Sanae not appearing from behind. This time was no exception. Cypher had just parked the machine and was about to get out to figure out what was in the box when Sanae's voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw Shengnai, still wearing an outfit that looked like a dress and a medical worker, standing behind him with a medical bag slung over her shoulder.

"...Compared to me, didn't you go back to the car?"

"Sifu hasn't come back yet. I was thinking that since it was a dangerous mission, he might have some unexpected injuries when he returned. So when I saw you were back, I rushed over immediately."

Did you really just get here?
Seifer was skeptical of her statement. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly placed his hand on her thin shoulder: "Until then, don't try to hold on any longer. Have you not rested since returning here?"

"I can't hide it from Cypher. Yes, more and more mercenaries coming back injured are coming back."

Shengnai leaned naturally on Sefer, letting him pick her up sideways and find a place to rest. She yawned slightly, and her big eyes, which were usually bright, looked particularly tired.

It is understandable why more people were injured. When the fight shifted from autonomous machines to other mercenaries, the subject of hatred shifted.

Although there is no shortage of mercenaries who work for a living, they will be deducted money or even bear the consequences if they fail to complete the commission - and they will be rewarded more when attacking areas that have already been controlled by others, so the mercenaries naturally no longer have the friendly attitude they had in the previous PVE.

But we can’t say that they are all enemies.

Because the ultimate goal of mercenaries is to make money and then enjoy it. Besides fighting, when they are not taking missions, they can also have a good drink or chat in the rest area...

In the final PVP, no one knows who the matched opponent will be - anyway, there is no guarantee that you will make it out alive.

Seifer held Shengnai firmly in his arms and found a folding bed in the rented maintenance area to put her down. Seeing Shengnai holding up her eyelids, he sat down helplessly: "I need to confirm what the reward I was given is."

"I'll be back once I've confirmed everything. It's daytime now, so I can't go anywhere. Today's battle was a bit intense, so I need to take a break."

"Oh, um... when I wake up, I'll check on Sefer... um..." Shengnai yawned slightly and closed his eyes reluctantly.

I guess I've been holding on for a long time.

What Sefer didn't know was that Shengnai was actually taking a nap in the emergency room of the hospital. The moment he came back, he stood up and quickly came to find him.

If you count, she has not rested for a whole day and night, and has been helping to treat the wounded.

It was hard to imagine that such dedicated medical personnel would be attacked by mercenaries... After confirming that she was asleep, Seifer went to his box and unlocked it.

When he opened the door specially prepared for personnel, the first thing that caught his eye was the compressed parts placed in the huge box. The largest item among them made Sefer sigh.

——It’s an engine power component, very conspicuous. The model is different from the one he has, but it is obviously an engine.

The size can also be stuffed into the current body for use... Damn, why didn't the reward come earlier?
Apart from the engine, there are a large number of parts. Judging from the number and structure, it seems to be... four-legged?
What is this? Another machine was sent to me. But as for the machine, Cypher can only operate one at most. Does he really expect him to operate two machines through his external incarnation?
Currently, Cypher has only developed the ability to quickly switch between backup bodies, operating two backup bodies at the same time... He's thought about it, but never succeeded. Because he wasn't given the option at all.

He took out the blueprint and checked it over and over again. With a mercenary's eyes, it was impossible to tell what the hanging thing on the blueprint was. But with Saiful's years of design experience...

It is the design drawing of the load-bearing foot. In addition, there are some miscellaneous design drawings of things such as steady-state devices belonging to the anomaly technology and heat dissipation series groups.

These things are great whether you sell them or help others make them. If you are good at bargaining, you might even get some extra pay.

After holding the blueprint and thinking for a while, Cypher recalled that he still had the blueprint for the 'Spike' in his hands. Furthermore, this was the first time he had seen armor forged for this primitive impact weapon...

You don’t have to take the things you see in the vision seriously, just take a look at them.

After sorting out his gains, Seifer returned to the rented maintenance room, sat next to the already fast asleep Saint Nai, and browsed the mercenary's chat section.

By the way, at this time, Leica finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and went to sleep. After all, she was still a human being. It was amazing that she could persist for so long as a communicator to provide opinions and information in an emergency situation.

To sum up, throughout the day, when the outside sunlight can easily kill cars or people with poor insulation, Sefer has been brushing the AC board.

The current mercenary environment is worse than before, but some speculators have seized this opportunity and rented places in the node city to use as taverns. As we all know, mercenaries will find various fun things to do and drink to relax when they relax.

The purpose of chatting and making friends can also be achieved here. The bar owner even brought in a large number of excellent hostesses to comfort the lonely and sad hearts of the mercenaries after the battle.

Of course, if you are given enough money, it is no problem to go out temporarily. Who can resist money?

There are several sections on the communication board that are dedicated to recording the comments of the excellent bar waiters who were introduced in batches and previously worked in the Furnace Node City.

Some people commented on how soft the stage name looked, some people liked it to look mature, and some people liked it to look youthful.

There was even one person who was supposed to be a company employee, sharing his own experience in spending money and even showing off his successful experience in convincing the technical staff.

With nothing to do, Seifer took a break and relaxed his mind. He was a little curious about the new technician in the tavern. He was so curious that he didn't even notice that Shengnai was standing behind him.

"Sever, what are you looking at?"

"I'm reading the Different World Review Guide. Okay, it's getting dark, let's hurry back to the parking lot. I have something to discuss with the weaponsmith."

Calmly closing the various art videos and photos that were freely posted because they had not been censored, Seifer turned around and extended his hand to Shengnai.

"I'll drive slowly on the way back so you can experience... the vision of a combat machine."

In response to him, Shengnai gave a quiet but joyful smile.
