Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 69: Shocking! The arms dealer actually has a conscience!

"Thank you for your rescue. May I ask, are you freelance mercenaries or government soldiers..."

Since the crisis was temporarily resolved, CEO Billy, who had basically returned to his usual behavior, shook hands with Uncle Xue, the only one who didn't seem so out of place.

Although you can see his eyes constantly glancing at the Batmobile.

"Government forces. Uh..."

Uncle Xue, who took the initiative to take on the task of team communication, was not at all nervous. He directly shook the other person's hand, but stopped halfway through his words.

Because he suddenly thought of a question, that is, as members of the Peregrine 004 team, do they have military ranks in the government army?

"Billy Gates, this is my business card."

Billy Gates, who didn't care about Uncle Snow's sudden computer outage, was introducing himself, while the bald bodyguard next to him had already skillfully taken out the business card box that he had never abandoned from his arms and started distributing it on the spot.

The business card with a gold border reads "Gates Group". The field involved is military industry, and the group is involved in everything from pistol bullets to remote-controlled thunderclouds to powerful vehicles.

In the time setting, the battle between the rebels and the regular army has lasted for more than two years, and the rebels are like a fuse, triggering dissatisfaction with the current government around the world, and other forces that are smaller than the modern army but also have certain combat effectiveness.

But the ones who made the most money in the battle were undoubtedly those groups that profited from the war and engaged in arms trade...and there were actually a lot of tricks involved.

Knock knock knock~
Cheng Tian turned his head in the cockpit and saw Billy Gates throwing the handkerchief that had hit the car shell to the side of the car.

"Do you mind talking to me privately?"

Billy said this with some expectation.

Cheng Tian gave him an OK sign through the car window, but Cheng's subsequent actions left the man dumbfounded.

Cheng Tian jumped out of the cockpit with great ease, and then kicked the armored plate on the side of the Batmobile hard in front of him!

But before Wanwanyuan could even feel bad about the car, he saw that the scratches on the armor plates, tires, and other places that were inevitably left by the collision with the zombies had actually repaired themselves visibly and quickly! ?
Seeing that the repair was successful, Cheng Tian whistled and then put the Batmobile back into the inventory.

After all, the zombies are transmitted through body fluids, and Cheng Tian also used this method to clean the flesh and blood on the car.

"What to talk about?"

Cheng Tian asked curiously.

After all, Billy Gates in the original work is just a special hostage, and apart from the title of CEO and a name that can be translated into president, chairman, chairman, etc., there is no more specific setting. Cheng Tian is also very curious about what kind of specific character will be derived from it.

"Let's just talk about your car."

Billy's eyes became more and more fiery.

Metal Slug, also known as the Iron Slug, is a vehicle that serves as the title of a game and even a series, a testament to its importance. The game's developers initially intended a tank-themed game, but along the way, they added a tank driver to the mix. This driver is none other than Marco Rossi, an elite member of the current government army who has applied for discharge numerous times, only to be rejected each time.

The "SV-001" that Billy had been talking about before was the official number of the first Metal Slug tank developed by the government army and officially put into mass production.

The biggest feature of this tank is that while retaining the powerful firepower of ordinary tanks, it has an adaptability to the battlefield that is beyond common sense. Not only can its tracks adapt to a variety of terrains, the body can even perform biological-level jumping actions. This is precisely the most critical point that attracted Billy Gates to the Batmobile with similar functions.

Also two years ago, when the government army and the Modern Army officially started fighting, the government, which was retreating due to insufficient combat preparedness, attempted to turn the tables with the powerful SV001. Unexpectedly, the Modern Army knew the news in advance and directly raided the government army's factory where the alloy warhead was researched. Almost all the finished SV001s were looted and then directly dispersed to Modern Army military bases around the world.

However, although the Modern Army is a rebel army, their military discipline is far superior to that of the government army. Various military-industrial groups that are very envious of these finished SV-001s have not been able to get even a complete one from the Modern Army in the past two years!

This is obviously directly related to General Modern's extremely powerful personal charm.

As a former marshal of the government army, he rebelled against the government for personal reasons. Most of his soldiers were from the former government army, and almost every one of these soldiers was a fanatical admirer of General Modern.

The reason was that, even though the number of his soldiers had reached a terrifying level that could simultaneously launch a global rebellion, General Modern still managed to remember the names and birthdays of most of them...

As a lowly soldier, he was recognized by his highest leader at a glance, and his full name and birthday were called out. Who wouldn't be confused?!
This fanatical belief, which is almost at the religious level, makes these soldiers never do anything that is detrimental to General Modern. This also means that military-industrial enterprises like Billy Gates, which have had actual cooperative relations with the Modern Army at the financial level, still cannot get the alloy warheads they want.

After a long period of unsuccessful attempts, the military industry tycoon had no choice but to turn his attention to the government forces themselves.

As mentioned before, the corruption in the government army is from top to bottom. When the roots are rotten, it is not absolutely impossible to sell top-secret items like SV-001, but the premise is -

Need to pay more.

But what can be done? The other side is greedy beyond imagination. Billy Gates' plane crash happened on his way back after he personally went out to deal with the business but failed to make a deal... However, he did not expect that there would be a ray of hope after the crash. A Batmobile, which is not inferior to Metal Slug in terms of performance, was delivered right in front of him.

There was no hassle, and Cheng Tian happily agreed to let Billy Gates take the Batmobile to his company after the mission was completed.

Billy needs all the detailed data of the Batmobile, and Cheng Tian needs Billy to provide free Batmobile upgrade services, some advanced vehicle accessories suitable for the Batmobile, and one of each subsequent regular models developed based on the Batmobile in the future.

Cheng Tian's request was actually quite reasonable, because he was in a complete seller's market. As long as it didn't exceed Billy's psychological bottom line, he would actually accept it. But what was interesting was that Billy Gates was currently in a state where his threshold had been further raised after the government forces asked for an exorbitant price. So after Cheng Tian made his request, he felt that the other party didn't understand the value of the Batmobile and asked for a lower price, and he felt that he was taking advantage of it.

The reason why a profit-seeking businessman could have such an idea was either because Cheng Tian asked for too little or because the government forces asked for too much.

So, after Cheng Tian made the request, a new prompt popped up.

[You have successfully established the personal reputation of Billy Gates, CEO of Gates Group.

The current reputation value is - Friendly 1200/1500. 】

The Gates Group's military store is now open to you. You can purchase items at any Gates Group facility in the Metal Slug instance.

Whenever you enter a Metal Slug-related instance, you can purchase Gates Group merchandise and receive the limited-space free shipping service promised by the CEO. You can ship up to three items directly to your personal space for free. This service can also be used for your other possessions, but the prerequisite is that you must have purchased a certain amount of merchandise from the group.
