Chapter 17 Mechanic Max Level!

The third path chosen by Su Yu was not solely to become the mechanic for the Ninth Squad.

In a situation where Li Mao was injured and Zhang Wu was disabled.

The Ninth Squad, let alone seeking vengeance, found it a daunting task just to meet the hunting quota required by the shelter's upper management for the next month.

The absence of a sniper and reconnaissance positions was absolutely devastating for a hunting squad.

This was why Yang Lie only requested Su Yu to help them with equipment maintenance for two months.

He might still be able to hold on for three months.

But the contribution points accumulated by the Ninth Squad in the past would only be enough for them to fall short of their hunting quota for one month.

If, by the month after next, they still did not meet the quota.

They would lose their qualification as a hunting squad and revert to being scavengers.

By then, the Night Slayer Team wouldn't have to go through the trouble of luring radiation beasts to attack them anymore, and Li He himself could brazenly attack, even kill them in the sanctuary without issue!

In reality, they only had two months' time.

Of course, it wasn't that the shelter lacked talent capable of filling these roles.

But with the Night Slayer Team having clearly targeted the Ninth Squad, who would dare to oppose them?

That was why, upon hearing Su Yu express his willingness to join the Ninth Squad.

Yang Lie and the others were so delighted!

Currently, every additional person in the Ninth Squad.

Even if that person was a complete novice, could significantly enhance the squad's combat strength!

"Tomorrow, we rest for a day, starting the day after tomorrow, we will begin special training at the training ground!"

"The subjects of the special training will be the basic knowledge of reconnaissance and sniper positions!"

Having agreed on the training time with Zhang Wu and Li Mao.

They saw off Yang Lie and the others, and handed their equipment over.

Su Yu looked at the assorted weapons and equipment laid out in front of him, his gaze filled with a deep, cold edge.

Although none in the Ninth Squad blamed him, and even showed gratitude for his joining at a crucial moment.

Su Yu himself, however, found it hard to let go.

All the tribulations faced by the Ninth Squad fundamentally stemmed from the conflict between him and Li Yao.

But having lived two lifetimes, Su Yu wasn't about to indulge in spiritual self-recrimination.

"It seems like trouble was caused by my conflict with Li Yao, but in reality, it wasn't my fault. It was Li Yao's fault for being despicable, which was due to his brother Li He being even worse."

"In sum."

"As long as I kill these scumbags, my hatred will be quelled, and I can find peace!"

Su Yu slowly raised his hand and began a new round of repairs and maintenance, while his profession panel started displaying a line of new messages, until dawn the next day, at the management office, exchange counter.

Eisen, who was napping, suddenly caught a whiff of a sharp bloody smell and was about to curse, "Who's this ignorant fool!? Don't you know this is the exchange counter? Submissions have to go to the warehouse, you know, you idiot…"

"Su... Su Yu?"

Gazing at Su Yu's cold expression on the other side of the counter.

Eisen swallowed the rest of his words, looking at Su Yu with genuine apprehension and fear, mixed with a bit of incredulity!

'What is up with this kid? Why does he give me a stronger sense of pressure than that big fool Yang Lie!?'

Given that Su Yu's profession panel hadn't yet awakened mind-reading abilities.

Otherwise, upon hearing Eisen's inner monologue, Su Yu would surely laugh.

He had never revealed his hand at the sanctuary before.

So, in the eyes of many residents, he was just a representational "researcher."

But in reality, after spending a night on the repair, improvement, and maintenance of all the weapons and equipment of Yang Lie's team.

The experience bar that had been stuck at ninety-five percent, now saw Su Yu's mechanic level smoothly rise to the level of lv9.

After nine consecutive upgrades.

Su Yu's physique had reached a considerably formidable level.

Not only had it completely cured his radiation sickness.

But in terms of physical strength, Su Yu felt that although he might not match the peak of a one-star like Yang Lie, he wasn't inferior to a one-star advanced like Li Mao!

Beginner, intermediate, advanced, peak.

These were the finer divisions within each star-level transcendent.

A one-star advanced transcendent, in Shelter No. 73, was already considered a notable expert.

Not to mention, Su Yu's strength went far beyond just his physical body.

As an auxiliary profession, each level increase for a mechanic resulted in greater enhancements in brain development, thought speed, memory ability, observation, and calculation skills, more than just physical boost.

Although he hadn't gone through professional testing.

Su Yu thought.

Even if his spiritual power hadn't undergone systematic training or extraction through meditation techniques, achieving a peak one-star level.

His spiritual energy, after nine consecutive career upgrades, had synchronously reached a one-star advanced level, unquestionably.

A one-star advanced transcendent, proficient in both body and spirit.

With such strength.

He was already comparable to some two-star transcendent individuals!

The only thing lacking for Su Yu now was some combat skills and battle experience!

And in terms of such prowess, he was already at a superhuman level compared to the ordinarily frail Eisen.

Being able to speak smoothly while Su Yu was staring at him was already something Eisen could be proud of.

"Manager Eisen, as I recall, the exchange center has an option to submit hunts for mechanical creations and scrap parts, right?"

"Please help me, exchange all these things for scrap weapons, the inventory here should be enough, right?"

Listening to Su Yu's cold and indifferent tone.

Eisen involuntarily swallowed hard.

As rumors suggested, the Ninth Squad, collaborating with Su Yu, had already been severely thrashed by the Night Slayer and was about to be tormented to death by them.

This Su Yu probably wouldn't be arrogant for long.

But at the moment, being stared at by Su Yu, Eisen had no courage to play any tricks, swiftly completing the material check, despite the nauseating bloody smell, and providing ten alloy iron boxes, placing them on Su Yu's cart.

"Well then, Mr. Su Yu, shall I arrange for someone to help you deliver these back to your repair shop?"

Eisen wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and forced a flattering smile as he addressed Su Yu.

"Please do, however, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Su Yu continued, pointing straight toward the monthly additional orders issued to the shelter residents, displayed behind each counter in the management office.

"This one, this one, and this one."

"I'll take all three of these orders, is that okay?"

"Ah, no problem... Wait, three orders?"

Eisen couldn't be happier to see this ominous star gone quickly, agreeing on instinct at first sound, but then shook slightly, peering with dumbfoundment at Su Yu.

"Mr. Su Yu, you realize that these three orders combined require you to produce at least ninety pieces of basic equipment in the coming month? Is it better to take one at a time?"

"No need, I'm confident in my ability to finish them, and anyways, if I can't, I'll pay the penalty. It's not something Manager Eisen should be concerned with, right?"

Su Yu cast a cold glance at Eisen.

The circumstances now no longer allowed him to hide his skills any longer.

With that said, what's left to talk about?

Preparing for revenge in three months?

If he could choose, Su Yu wouldn't want to wait even a month!

He wanted to upgrade his level in the shortest time possible, achieve true self-preserving strength!

"Whether it's the focus of the shelter's management or high-level technical proficiency, they're all superficial!"

"On this planet, only strength is the real foundation for self-preservation!"

In Su Yu's eyes, a flame seemed to burn fiercely, so intense that Eisen dared not utter a single word, hastily nodding, bowing, and preparing all the equipment at breakneck speed, delivering them to Su Yu's repair shop!

"Phew..."

Repair shop, in front of the workbench.

Seeing the neatly stacked, mechanical boxes almost filling up the entire repair space.

Su Yu raised a hand to power on for Nuonuo, looking at the various worn-out equipment in front of him, without fatigue, only boundless brightness and anticipation!

"Let's... begin!"

One message after another appeared in front of Su Yu's profession panel.

Until the morning of the third day, as the sun rose and the morning light spread!
