Chapter 12 Night Slayer Team Captain

"Sorry, Young Master Li, what are you talking about? I didn't quite catch that."

Zhang Wu's expression was calm as he fearlessly made eye contact with Li Yao.

That day, Li Yao came to trouble Su Yu.

But Su Yu alone managed to push him back.

The members of the Ninth Squad quickly received the news.

Standing with the Ninth Squad and clashing with the Night Slayer Team, Su Yu earned immense gratitude and admiration from the members of the Ninth Squad.

Now seeing Li Yao making things difficult for Su Yu again, how could Zhang Wu and Li Mao just stand by?

"Huff..."

Listening to Zhang Wu's words,

Li Yao gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, then flashed a brilliant smile.

But those eyes were filled with an ice-cold chill: "Very well, I'll have a good talk with my brother about the 'enthusiasm' from the Ninth Squad today!"

With that said,

Li Yao glanced at Su Yu, ready to speak again, but Su Yu preempted him, addressing Eisen behind the counter instead.

"Additionally, I plan to apply for that management office order to manufacture at least ninety pieces of Simple Equipment or thirty pieces of Basic Equipment within a month."

"Please, Supervisor Eisen, gather the materials issued with this order and have them sent to the repair shop for me."

Su Yu said unhurriedly.

Hearing Su Yu's words,

Zhang Wu and Li Mao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Yu with admiration.

Li Yao, after a brief pause, also understood the deeper meaning behind Su Yu's order application.

The chill in his eyes grew even colder, but beneath that chill lay an irrepressible fear and envy!

Manufacturing ninety Simple Equipment or thirty Basic Equipment in a month.

Being able to complete this in such a short time meant Su Yu's technical level was already qualified to rank among the top three in the Sanctuary.

This level of technical skill would definitely draw the attention of the high-ups in the Sanctuary.

Even if Su Yu didn't complete the task smoothly in the end,

during this month, every supervisor from the high-level management would pay additional attention to Su Yu.

Thus,

tricks like the one Li Yao used today couldn't be used anymore.

And if Su Yu could use this opportunity to showcase his technical skills during this month of peace,

then even the Night Slayer Team might not be able to move against him!

How could Li Yao endure this?

Previously, he had already been harshly scolded by his brother because he failed to recruit Su Yu and became hostile instead.

Now, was Su Yu about to come into the spotlight of the Sanctuary leadership?

Li Yao's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't even bother to say anything harsh before hurriedly turning and leaving.

As Li Yao, this "ally," left,

Supervisor Eisen, who only held a nominal title and wasn't even qualified to participate in the Sanctuary's high-level management meetings, became like a deflated balloon, not daring to contradict Su Yu's demands, not a single word, and quickly prepared all the materials Su Yu needed, respectfully sending Su Yu out of the exchange station.

After leaving the exchange station, Zhang Wu and Li Mao's expressions were excited.

Especially Li Mao; his eyes were full of envy when he looked at Su Yu.

"Brother Su, your brain is really sharp! How did you think of using that order to force Li Yao out?"

"You should have seen Li Yao's face when he left; he looked terrified! It was truly satisfying!"

Li Yao had always been unruly and used his backing from the Night Slayer Team to act arrogantly in the Shelter. Li Mao and Zhang Wu had long been fed up with him, but due to Li Yao's strong backing, they could only turn a blind eye.

Now seeing Li Yao finally eat a loss, they couldn't help but feel gleeful.

Zhang Wu was a bit more meticulous. He looked at Su Yu earnestly and said, "Brother Su, will you be able to make it with your work? If time is tight, we can pause our equipment improvement work; simple repairs should suffice."

"Brother Zhang is right; the management office order is the priority. Once it's done, the Night Slayer Team won't dare trouble you again!"

Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Li Mao also regained his senses and smiled at Su Yu.

Listening to their sincere and concerned words, Su Yu felt warm inside. He wouldn't have taken the order if he wasn't confident in completing it.

"Don't worry, my brothers, I have my plans!"

Seeing Su Yu's confident demeanor, Zhang Wu and Li Mao were curious about how Su Yu planned to accomplish this, but since it involved personal technical expertise, they didn't pry further and nodded solemnly.

"If you need help, just let us know!"

Su Yu nodded, and after bidding farewell to Zhang Wu and Li Mao, who helped him deliver the parts and materials to the repair shop, he closed the shop door, took a deep breath, and eagerly looked at the ten boxes of parts and equipment he had received.

"With these ten boxes of parts, the equipment assembled should be enough to level up my Basic Mechanical Manufacturing quite a bit."

There were seven days left before Yang Lie's Team set out for the next hunt.

Su Yu pondered for a moment and made an initial plan.

For the next three days, he would assemble a batch of Basic Equipment first to increase the level of Basic Mechanical Manufacturing.

Assembling mechanical equipment provided more experience compared to standard repairs, maintenance, and recycling.

In three days, his Mechanic level might increase even further.

In that case, with the remaining four days, creating a Mechanical Blueprint and completing the initial improvement and re-equipment of the Ninth Squad's weapons should be more than sufficient!

"Nuonuo, come help. We need to start working!"

...

As Su Yu immersed himself in a new round of equipment assembly.

At the same time, within the Night Slayer Team's meeting room.

"Young Master Li, you've really brought a big problem to our team this time..."

Several combat members of the Night Slayer Team frowned, clearly at a loss.

Li Yao also had a dark expression, annoyed but not daring to talk back.

These combat members were not like the riffraff like Eisen he had befriended outside; they were the core of the Night Slayer Team, with strength generally at the two-star level, crucial aides to his brother Li He.

When they complained, even his brother Li He would have to listen, let alone Li Yao?

Seeing Li Yao remain silent with a gloomy face, a seasoned Night Slayer Team combatant spoke up to mediate.

"Alright, what's done is done. Blaming Young Master Li won't help. Besides, isn't it the fault of that ungrateful kid Su Yu stirring up trouble?"

Hearing this, the members of the Night Slayer Team all nodded slightly.

As for the harsh terms and domineering attitude Li Yao showed towards Su Yu, they were unconcerned.

In their view, for their Night Slayer to invite Su Yu, a junior mechanic, was already a generous offer!

Even now, their headache stemmed not from worry that Su Yu's technical growth would cause trouble for them,

but purely from the embarrassment of letting Su Yu rise and causing the Night Slayer Team to lose face!

"Can't take him out?"

One of the Night Slayer Team members raised his head, eyes filled with a fierce light.

"At least not this month. His skill level might actually catch the eye of the higher-ups next month!"

Li Yao grumbled,

He hadn't mentioned that even if the Night Slayer Team could get the higher-ups to turn a blind eye and let them act against Su Yu,

Shelter No. 73 had more than just their hunting team.

The top-ranked and second-ranked hunting teams, knowing Su Yu's skill, would undoubtedly be interested. If they competed with Night Slayer, it would only benefit Su Yu, letting him step over Night Slayer to rise!

Listening to Li Yao's words, the atmosphere in the already spacious meeting room, relatively speaking in the cramped space of the Sanctuary, grew even more stifling.

Just then, a voice cold and heavy resonated from outside the door.

"The higher-ups, as well as the Wolf Pack and Mountain Mist out there, won't recruit this Su Yu."

"When is Yang Lie's Ninth Squad set for their next hunt? Assemble a team and find a way to deal with them."

"Understood?"
