Colonial Suit

When I walked out of the training facility again, it was already dusk on the third day.

Blood Eye had been training here continuously for three days. His crazy energy made everyone who saw him break out in a cold sweat. In three days, Blood Eye only rested for less than ten hours. After violently cracking the beginner reaction training for probationary mercenaries, he successively underwent advanced reaction training and mercenary hand-to-hand combat courses. Each time, he would only stop when he was completely exhausted or covered in injuries.

The training facility had special recovery potions and treatment pods. Blood Eye used these to quickly recover, and then repeated the process. And what surprised the onlookers the most was that no matter how intense the training was, his face always remained indifferent, as if he were a machine that never knew fatigue.

But who can really not know fatigue? Those vassals who only rely on ability potions and gene potions will never know what Blood Eye is thinking. He just wants to strengthen his strength as soon as possible so that he can survive the next mission.

Yes, survive...

That's all.

In the speed car, Jack respectfully handed a smart device to Blood Eye. "Sir, this is the information for the next mission."

"Okay." Blood Eye took the smart device and clicked on it a few times. The mission details immediately appeared on the light screen.

This was an E-level escort mission. The mission content was to escort a transport ship to Planet T26. Hanser had already told Blood Eye about this. But what Hanser didn't tell Blood Eye was that the starting point of the mission wasn't the T6 branch, but a place he was very familiar with.

Planet MS-1.

Blood Eye's mission was to parachute down to Planet MS-1 with the transport ship, supervise and protect the loading of the goods, and then escort them all the way to Planet T26. During this process, no one except the mercenary himself was allowed to view the goods. All the goods were sealed in a lead container, with a special seal from the branch on the outside. Anyone who rashly approached the goods without the mercenary's consent would be allowed to be killed on the spot.

Allowed to be killed on the spot?

Blood Eye frowned. This was a rather stern order. Although the Cosmic Mercenaries had great power, they still followed the rules in many cases. Even when plotting to seize the territory of Lord Kirkel, they would rather go to more trouble for the sake of the rules. At least on the surface.

But this mission included the order to kill on the spot. That is to say, Blood Eye could kill anyone who coveted this batch of goods, regardless of their identity. This was a bit of a break from the rules. Blood Eye maliciously wondered, what if it was a lord who approached? Would he have to kill him directly?

"That's allowed." Hearing Blood Eye's unintentional question, Jack explained. "Mercenaries are executors, and according to tradition, they only ask about the mission and not about right or wrong. Specifying and maintaining the rules is the branch's business. Mercenaries won't care."

"So, my authority to act will be very great?" Blood Eye carefully looked at the mission details again, confirming this judgment.

That's right, this mission gave the mercenary a great deal of freedom and authority, even only allowing the mercenary to view the goods. This showed that the branch extremely trusted the mercenary. In this mission, the mercenary was not only a protector, but also served as a commander and supervisor.

But this didn't mean that the difficulty of the mission was reduced, because there was no fixed jump positioning between Planet MS-1 and Planet T26, so high-level jump technology couldn't be used. The journey time would be extended. This would increase many variables, and it had already been determined that space pirates would be involved in this mission. The degree of danger was still very high.

Looking at the mission details, Blood Eye asked indifferently. "How many nodes do we have to pass through?"

"Three." Jack quickly answered, showing that he had also done a lot of preparation. Nodes were supply stations and transportation hubs in the universe. All jumps had to be completed with the help of nodes. Otherwise, it would be easy to lose direction. "Two of the three nodes are within the control of the Cosmic Mercenaries, but there is still one free node. The degree of danger is extremely high."

"Only one?" Blood Eye thought for a while and closed the smart device. "If the space pirates want to attack, they can only choose there. This is good news."

"Yes, sir. But precisely because of this, it is easier for the space pirates to gather their strength."

"That's not a problem." Blood Eye shook his head. "Because this is our job."

After finishing understanding the mission, Blood Eye said to Jack. "How is the matter I entrusted to you going?"

"It's already completed. Sir, shall we go see it now?" Jack replied respectfully.

"Good." Blood Eye nodded. The speed car immediately changed direction. Ten minutes later, they arrived at a very famous private armor customization store in the mercenary branch. This was a steel building that was fifty meters high. Under Jack's lead, Blood Eye came to the third basement level of the building without any obstacles.

A young man who looked a little dull received them.

"Lord Blood Eye, the armor you ordered has been completed."

"Okay." Blood Eye nodded expressionlessly. This was exactly what he had asked Jack to do. Although the bio-modification was his most powerful trump card, as he accepted more missions, this trump card became increasingly easy to expose. Therefore, in order to protect the bio-modification, he urgently needed a set of armor. Not only to conceal it, but also to provide him with the necessary help for this mission.

The young man led them through several corridors and came to a spacious workroom. Blood Eye saw that both sides of the workroom were transparent sealed windows. On the opposite side was a row of separate compartments, each containing a set of completed and unfinished armor. Countless mechanical arms danced around the armor, installing countless parts.

The young man led them to a compartment and pointed to the armor inside, saying.

"According to your request, this is a melee-oriented machine, so 99% of the long-range attack weapons have been removed, leaving only the directional anchor, but because there is no remote module for guidance, its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. In addition, based on your combat habits and the suggestions of your attendant Jack, this armor reduces the armor module and increases the power output and steering assistance. Its maneuverability is extremely high. Two miniature siege cones have been installed on the wrist, which can provide no less than three tons of impact damage, but to be honest, I can't see any room for this weapon to play. Its range is too small."

"The original rocket nest on the shoulder has been removed and replaced with shoulder wings to provide maneuverability within the atmosphere. The shoulder wings are made of ultra-high density krypton gold material and designed with a honeycomb structure to reduce weight. It can not only be used for short-distance gliding, but also as a weapon. But it still has the disadvantage of a too short range."

"Finally, in order to ensure the best maneuverability, jet modules have been added to the legs and back, which can turn you into a cannonball in a few seconds. If you can withstand that instantaneous overload."

Introducing to here, the young man glanced at Blood Eye, undisguisedly revealing a strange look. "To be honest, this is the most outrageous customization project I have ever accepted. I can understand your preference for melee combat, but this is the first time I have seen such an extreme armor. The most exaggerated thing is that you actually asked us to sacrifice armor to provide maneuverability. Okay, I admit that this can allow you to approach your opponent faster, but do you know how big its overload will be? More than twenty Gs! You will be crushed into meatloaf in an instant!"

"And without enough armor, how will you resist the opponent's attacks? Are you just going to rely on speed all the time? The overload of this armor is unbearable even for a short time. If it is maintained all the time..."

The young man shook his head and didn't continue. Anyone could see that he didn't think well of it.

Blood Eye didn't blame the young man for speaking so bluntly, because it was the truth. The physical fitness of a vassal was far from comparable to that of a mercenary. Such armor was already equivalent to a killing machine for ordinary people. But for Blood Eye, it was far from enough. He could even withstand the overload of an assault pod, let alone a piece of armor?

"That's not something you should consider." Jack interjected from the side. He was very dissatisfied with the young man's impoliteness.

Blood Eye waved his hand indifferently, stopping Jack from continuing. He said to the young man. "This armor is good, I'll take it. How much does it cost?"

"Three hundred and twenty star coins." The young man quoted a high price. "Although I don't think it is a qualified armor, this is already the lowest price, because it is custom-made."

"I don't have that much money." Blood Eye told the truth. He spent three hundred star coins to buy the ability potion, and also paid the training fee. At this moment, he only had less than one hundred star coins and eighty contribution points left.

"You can charge it to your account, if someone guarantees it." The young man replied readily. He had seen this kind of thing a lot. Because of the low mission rewards, few vassals were rich. The mercenary branch naturally had a way to solve it.

"You can ask Lord Hanser to guarantee it." Jack walked over at the right time and said. Then he handed over a card. "This is Lord Hanser's credit card, you can also directly let Lord Hanser pay the bill."

"Jack." Blood Eye frowned.

"Sir, this is what Lord Hanser ordered." Jack said with lowered eyebrows and obedient eyes. "He knows you need these help."

"..." Blood Eye was silent for a while, then sighed. "Okay, I understand. Let Lord Hanser guarantee it, but I will settle the accounts myself."

"Okay." The young man agreed very readily. Then he asked someone to pack the armor.

"This armor has been installed with an instant donning system. Please carry this with you." The young man handed Blood Eye a small button-like electronic component.

"This is a sensor. As long as you are no more than five hundred meters away from the armor, the armor can be donned in three seconds. In order to ensure safety, an electromagnetic shield generator has also been specially installed, which can provide an instantaneous protective layer. But it must be recharged after each use."

"Finally, please give this armor a name. Lord Blood Eye."

"..." Blood Eye quietly looked at the armor being packed, was silent for a while, and then uttered two words.

"Wild Beast."
