Chapter 9: Spiritual Star Level, Threat of the Night Slayer Team

Spiritual Star Level.

This is the Transcendent level division system passed down from the time of the Empire.

From low to high, there are a total of nine stars.

One star to nine stars.

However, in rumors, the highest level of Transcendent stars set by the Empire is not nine stars.

But in the eyes of the people on Ruins Star, not to mention Transcendents with nine stars.

Even Transcendents with seven or eight stars can dominate one side.

As for above nine stars, in the eyes of the people on Ruins Star, it's just a rumor.

Upon first hearing, the gap between one star and three stars doesn't seem big - they are both beginner Transcendents, just a minor difference in level.

But in reality, it's not so.

A one-star Transcendent has almost no power to fight back facing a three-star Transcendent.

Especially Li He, who's a spiritual-type Transcendent, the power gap is even larger.

If Li He wanted, under the suppression of spiritual Transcendent ability, the three Transcendents in Yang Lie's Team might not even have the chance to strike, let alone deal with the entire Night Slayer Team.

Of course, the Sanctuary maintains order through Management and will never allow such a situation to occur.

Hunting teams can compete but cannot slaughter each other.

Though how much of this regulation can be enforced, Su Yu is also unsure, but with this regulation in place, at least in the Sanctuary, Su Yu wouldn't be scared off by the Night Slayer Captain whom Li Yao had brought out.

"Captain Li He's appreciation makes me feel anxious, but unfortunately, I've already made a contract with Uncle Yang Lie."

"If it's a normal Night Slayer order, I can accept it, but joining Night Slayer as a dedicated Mechanic is unnecessary."

Su Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

For Su Yu, even without Yang Lie, he couldn't possibly join the Night Slayer. Su Yu is well aware of Night Slayer's style, which couldn't possibly provide him, an outsider Mechanic, with many resources.

Moreover, everyone in the Night Slayer Team has a somewhat arrogant and inexplicably irritable character.

At first, Su Yu thought it was the style of the Night Slayer Team.

But over the years, living in the Sanctuary, Su Yu discovered an astonishing fact, that often after joining Night Slayer, the members would become more irritable and arrogant than before, and they also became more loyal to the Night Slayer Team, or, to the Night Slayer Captain Li He himself.

In connection with Li He's identity as a spiritual-type Transcendent, it's hard for Su Yu to believe it has nothing to do with Li He.

Therefore, Su Yu will never join the Night Slayer Team.

"Break the contract, huh, my brother appreciates you, and I appreciate you too!"

Li Yao said with a sly smile: "Moreover, you know I rarely do things for my brother, if you disagree, it will be hard for me."

Finally speaking,

Li Yao's eyes already had a chilling intent appearing.

"Don't test my patience, Su little brother, I don't like being compared to others, and I don't like being surpassed by others. When my brother asked me to learn from you more, I was already annoyed. I'm giving you one last chance, nod now, and seeing how much my brother appreciates you, I originally intended to give you only ten percent of the share, but now I'll offer more."

"Like old Mo, in the future, every time my brother's team hunts and harvests Mechanical Creations, you and old Mo each can take twenty percent, you should know, this share is more than the reward you get from Yang Lie, don't be unappreciative."

Li Yao spoke with genuine confidence.

In his view, even with cooperation from Yang Lie, given Su Yu's one arm, it would be generous if Yang Lie's Team gave Su Yu sixty percent of the shares!

And as the third-ranked hunting team, every time the Night Slayer Team hunts and returns, they can bring back several trailers of scrap machinery, among which, twenty percent is indeed much higher than Yang Lie's Team's sixty percent share.

"Unappreciative, huh?"

Listening to Li Yao's words, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's mouth, but his gaze grew colder.

"Sorry."

He stared at Li Yao, slowly stood up until he was much taller than Li Yao who was lying on the counter, extended two fingers, and said slowly.

"Firstly, the cooperation Uncle Yang Lie and I signed designates all the Mechanical Creations from each hunt by Yang Lie's Team as under my disposal."

"Secondly, even without the above point, I still wouldn't agree to the Night Slayer Team's invitation, so Mr. Li, don't make it hard for me either."

"Swoosh!"

Hearing Su Yu's final statement using his own words to retaliate back.

The already defiant Li Yao suddenly stepped forward, wanting to grab Su Yu's collar, but before he could make a move, Nuonuo, who had already been instructed by Su Yu, sounded an emotionless electronic voice first: "Alert, alert, no fighting allowed in the Sanctuary, no fighting allowed in the Sanctuary, alert, alert, no fighting allowed in..."

Seeing the display screen on Nuonuo had already switched to surveillance mode.

Li Yao's face flushed red, he finally gave Su Yu a deep look: "Fine! Very well! Su Yu, is it? I've got you remembered! Hope the next time we meet, you'll still be this confident!"

After speaking, Li Yao left without looking back.

"The tall trees catch the wind, this saying really isn't wrong..."

Watching Li Yao's silhouette fade away.

Su Yu rarely showed a bit of a headache as he waved to turn off Nuonuo's alarm, closing the repair room door as well.

But the headache was just a headache.

Su Yu didn't feel any defeat or regret.

After all, whether at home or in the wasteland, emerging in a strange environment inevitably brings troubles along.

It's just that this trouble from Li Yao was somewhat larger than Su Yu anticipated.

Yet, if given another choice, Su Yu would still not agree to Li Yao's invitation.

Not only because Yang Lie had been kind to him, he couldn't leave Yang Lie's Team and head over to the Night Slayer Team.

But also because going to the Night Slayer Team might lead to a quicker death.

The Night Slayer Team currently has two Permanent Mechanics.

One is the Night Slayer Captain's biological brother, Li Yao himself.

The other one is the renowned Mo Old, whose skill ranks firmly in the top three in the entire Sanctuary.

However, after joining the Night Slayer Team, although Mo Old was well-treated in the team at first, ever since his apprentice Li Yao graduated, his status in the Night Slayer Team plummeted, and even Mo Old's mental state is not as good as before.

I do have a Profession Panel allowing me to survive and grow, but once I join Night Slayer, I won't even get a chance to lie low.

Not to mention that Night Slayer Team's Captain Li He has that eerie spiritual ability and the detestable style of the Night Slayer Team.

"In these ruins, to survive, you must cherish every minute!"

Su Yu slightly clenched his fist, no longer delaying, he directly called Nuonuo to begin researching the equipment assembly changed out by Yang Lie's Team, until the next day's noon, he finally lifted his head from the workbench, his eyes shining brightly!

"I think I know the initial improvement ideas."

A hunting team in a Sanctuary is roughly composed of two parts.

Combatants and the logistics group.

The Mechanic mainly needs to focus on the maintenance of the combatants' equipment.

Among these, combatants are divided into three categories.

Long-range attackers who use firearms, mid-range combatants using long weapons, and close-range combatants using short weapons and heavy armor.

Among these, the long-range and close-range combat firearms don't have much room for improvement.

They are generally the best choice that a Sanctuary can achieve.

Even the top-ranking Mechanic from the Sanctuary cannot make better improvements.

What Su Yu can do is more meticulous maintenance and repairs, trying to fix any minor issues that might affect their power.

"But in terms of long weapons, I might have a better solution!"

Su Yu looked at the three long swords placed on his workbench, his eyes burning brightly!
