The War God System did not wait for Rek's consent; a Virtual Map, visible only to Rek, appeared before his right eye.
On the transparent Virtual Map, a blue light indicated Rek's current location, and it constructed a three-dimensional layout of the entire warehouse. Over a hundred red dots of varying sizes appeared on the Virtual Map, indicating the Superior Dark Gold Soil Ore that could be consumed by the War God System.
Rek hid behind a pile of ore, waiting for several minutes. He watched as the trucks that had brought him in finished unloading the Dark Gold Soil Mine and began to leave the warehouse. The metal door of the warehouse closed behind them, plunging the area into darkness.
However, the Genetic Mech had night vision capabilities, so the dimly lit warehouse did not hinder Rek's observation.
Rek began to move according to the prompts on the Virtual Map.
He was once again stealing to gain energy.
With the assistance of the War God System, the surveillance equipment in the warehouse was practically non-existent. As Rek approached each red dot on the map and stood next to a pile of ore, he extended his arm toward the pile. Golden filaments began to grow from within his dark green Genetic Mech armor.
These golden filaments were extremely thin and quickly threaded through the gaps in the ore pile, inserting themselves into the Dark Gold Ore. Within one or two seconds, one end of the golden filaments transmitted liquid energy packets back. These energy packets resembled small tumors and rapidly traveled along the golden threads back into Rek's arm before disappearing.
The absorption continued as he moved around. During Rek's consumption of Superior Dark Gold Soil Ore, transport trucks would occasionally arrive. Rek chose to hide behind the ore piles; the miners driving these trucks never suspected that someone would come to steal Dark Gold Soil Mine at night.
As more trucks arrived, additional small red dots appeared sporadically on Rek's Virtual Map provided by the War God System, although each time only a few more appeared.
After five hours, Rek had consumed all of the Superior Dark Gold Soil Ore in the entire warehouse.
Looking around at the Dark Gold Soil Mine, there seemed to be no noticeable difference.
Rek hid beneath a mountain of Metal Ore after consuming this batch of energy.
"Ding dong, Host can choose to use forty percent of this consumed energy to eliminate detection from sensors and extract equivalent energy items as a Reward, or he can choose to directly provide this energy for upgrading Genetic Mech," said the voice of the War God System in Rek's mind.
"Can I choose to temporarily save this energy and extract Rewards after consuming all of Dark Gold Soil Mine's energy?" Rek asked the War God System in his mind.
Rek knew that he could upgrade his Genetic Mech by hunting creatures. Currently, his Genetic Mech was still at Private Pinnacle level, so he wasn't in a hurry to spend this precious energy obtained from superior Dark Gold Ore.
"The energy can be stored; you can extract Rewards together after consuming all of Dark Gold Soil Mine."
"Keep it up, Host. The more energy you gather from the exquisite Dark Gold Soil Mine, the better rewards you will draw from the System. You are closer to becoming a War God," the voice of the War God System echoed in Rek's mind.
Rek followed the new batch of mining vehicles, hiding beneath the heavy chassis of one as he slipped out of the warehouse.
Once again, Rek followed the guidance of the War God System, heading deeper into the mine.
Rek arrived at a cave where mining was taking place, but there was no path ahead.
"Friendly reminder: High energy reaction is just behind that rock wall over there," the voice of the War God System resonated in Rek's mind.
Rek stepped forward and lightly tapped on the thick rock, which felt solid and not hollow.
"I can't get through! Can you break this rock?" Rek said helplessly to the War God System in his mind.
"Behind the rock is the sleeping Dark Golden Ant Mother Bug and numerous Dark Golden Ants, along with high-energy Dark Gold Ore. However, if you break through prematurely, it will awaken the Dark Golden Ant Mother Bug. The System cannot assist you in destructive actions; you must solve this wall issue yourself," the voice of the War God System replied in Rek's mind.
After hearing this, Rek found a corner behind a rock to lie down and hide.
Rek activated the invisibility and color-changing function of his Genetic Mech, allowing it to blend as much as possible with the rock so that he wouldn't be easily noticed.
The mining machines continued their work. At this rate, Rek estimated that in about three or four days, the rock would be excavated, which would also be when the Dark Golden Ants would awaken and go into a frenzy.

On the playground of Super Soldier Academy's Second Zone, all students and teachers from the Sophomore Class Regular Classes had gathered, all armed and wearing protective suits.
After controlling his avatar to have breakfast with Alice at the cafeteria that morning, Rek had also arrived.
Following the positioning guidance from his Wrist Communicator, he spotted Maya by the edge of the playground.
At this moment, Maya was already dressed in her Combat Suit, with two additional black Combat Suits beside her.
"Hurry up and put on your Combat Suits; the Hover Transport Vehicle will be here soon," Maya said to Alice and Rek.
After both of them put on their Combat Suits, they followed Maya to the playground to wait.
Twelve small Hover Transport Vehicles arrived, and Maya led Rek and Alice onto one of the Transport Vehicles, which could seat about thirty people.
Once on the Transport Vehicle, Rek spotted a familiar face, Uncle Orland, the Class One Homeroom Teacher, who was also riding with Sister Flowers in the same vehicle.
Upon seeing Rek, Sister Flowers instinctively shrank back a bit. As for Orland, he tightened his grip on his long knife; if it weren't for Maya, the head of Special Class Two, being present, Rek suspected that this Class One Homeroom Teacher would have tried to attack him.
"I need to find a chance to deal with this Orland problem," Rek thought to himself as he controlled his clone to glare at Orland.
The Sophomore students quickly boarded the Transport Vehicles under the guidance of their respective homeroom teachers.
Rek's clone and Alice found a seat next to a Synthetic Glass window.
This Hover Transport Vehicle was much cleaner and safer than the Transport Vehicles Rek had ridden in during his mission world and previous life. The seats even had soft cushions and safety straps.
Once the metal door of the Hover Transport Vehicle closed, it activated its Energy Shield, a thin transparent layer that enveloped the entire Transport Vehicle to protect against radiation and toxic gases from the Dark Space.
The anti-gravity thrusters beneath the Hover Transport Vehicle powered up, lifting off as it drove out through a Metal Passage from the Super Soldier Academy, heading towards the distant Dark Gold Soil Mine.
The Hover Transport Vehicle moved quickly, and as Rek looked out at the sandy terrain, he pondered how to exchange locations with his clone.
