Lin Wu nodded, signaling his assistant to take the Soul Crystal Box. The assistant hurried out as if afraid of a change of mind, leaving Sakura General with a sense that something was amiss.
Finally, Lin Wu looked up. "On behalf of Lu Ziye, I would like to thank our allies and express gratitude for the concern from the Western Alliance. I will also urge Lu Ziye not to let expectations down, to strive forward, and continue fighting for humanity."
Sakura General nodded in agreement but felt a nagging doubt. Wait, something doesn’t seem right. Thanking on behalf of Lu Ziye? That guy isn’t dead yet?
"Lin Commander, what do you mean? Isn’t Lu Ziye...?" Sakura General realized he needed to be subtle; he couldn’t just blurt out, "Why is Lu Ziye still alive?"
"Oh? He is indeed trapped in the Dead Zone, but he was rescued by the Patrol Team. Thanks to everyone’s concern, he is perfectly fine and full of energy. With this Wan Soul Crystal, I believe Lu Ziye will make further progress once he enters the Gray Zone."
Sakura Kingdom Commander’s pupils dilated in shock. "I came here to console you, and you hit me back with this?"
Isn’t this Wan Soul Crystal somewhat enabling? This feels like a huge loss.
Reluctantly, Sakura General exclaimed, "But that’s the Beast Tide! How could Lu Ziye possibly break through?"
"Oh? You should have seen it; he fought his way out alone. The upper management of the Dragon Kingdom even mentioned that this incident made them realize their protective measures for Lu Ziye were too lax. Once he enters the Gray Zone, we will implement stricter measures. They also said that if anything were to happen to Lu Ziye—no matter how it happened—they would hold all of you accountable."
Sakura Kingdom Commander was taken aback. "Lin Wu, what nonsense is this? If something happens to Lu Ziye, what does it have to do with us?"
Lin Wu stood up without hesitation. "The meaning is clear: you Western Alliance should focus on hunting Mechanical Beasts from now on and not think about Lu Ziye. If anything happens to him, we will hold you responsible."
"Hmph! We from the Western Alliance came here with concern for our allies, and you show us this attitude instead."
It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t meet your expectations. Don’t you know your own thoughts? Someone, show them out! Lin Wu dropped the pretense; today was about warning the Western Alliance while paving the way for Lu Ziye.
Watching the furious Sakura Kingdom Commander slam the door behind him, Lin Wu and his colleagues from the Dragon Kingdom burst into laughter.
At the International Headquarters Hangar, Lu Ziye felt elated as he reviewed his loot list. In this battle, he had taken down numerous Mechanical Beasts and collected a significant number of Elites; the components he obtained were plentiful as well. He kept a complete set of Level Components for himself and Wan Hao and Cai Ji while harvesting all remaining Soul Crystals.
The prices for Level Components vary depending on their location and quality.
Now, his collection of Soul Crystals had reached ten thousand.
Once he entered the Gray Zone, he could consider upgrading to Advanced Components—the legendary Advanced Components that could transform a Mechanic's capabilities—one Wan Soul Crystal each.
Just then, a mechanical voice echoed through the Hangar.
"Esteemed Mechanic, your mech has been successfully upgraded."
Lu Ziye eagerly boarded his mech, connected it, and began reviewing its brand-new status.
