242: Hacked

The Angel, who had supposedly died, reappeared in the great hall, muttering, “Angels never die!”

This thing was extremely fierce and fearless of death.

The newly formed Angel looked up at Gongsun Leopard, bowed slightly, and strode out of the hall.

Gongsun Leopard was an extremely sensitive person; he read an unknown contempt in the Angel's eyes, but Gongsun Leopard kept silent, pretending not to see it.

He knew that Angels were not emotionless beings; they had their own feelings. In the eyes of these strange creatures, humans were very low-level, like ants. If it weren't for some benefit, they would not have descended into this world to fight for him.

A lot of flesh and blood had to be sacrificed to exchange for three hundred Angels from the rift. All the Angels temporarily lived in this white jade plate, which was also transmitted from that world.

There was a bloodline on the white jade plate; the more people the Angel killed, the longer this bloodline became.

Gongsun Leopard looked at the crimson bloodline, feeling a faint unease.

A young man standing beside him cupped his hands and asked, “Father, why not sacrifice more flesh and blood to summon more Angels to fight? If we had three thousand Archangels, wouldn't these Lords flee at the mere sight of us?”

This person was Gongsun Leopard's son, Gongsun Wuji.

He was also an extremely formidable Hero, a tiger father with no dog sons, and very skilled in warfare.

Gongsun Leopard shook his head: “All power comes with a price; you must not be greedy. The Gongsun family's ancestral teaching is not to recruit too many Angels, otherwise there will be a backlash. You must remember, three hundred Angels are enough. This is the limit that our Gongsun family can bear. So, remember, we cannot rely too much on Angels; cultivating our own strong power is the fundamental thing.”

Gongsun Wuji was somewhat puzzled, as if he had heard a great secret. He cupped his hands and said, “Yes, Father.”

The problem for the Gongsun family was that although they were very strong, even so, a larger number of warlords had defected to Sun Yong.

It was as if destiny had descended upon Sun Yong.

Was it because of the power of the imperial jade seal?

Gongsun Wuji guessed in his heart; otherwise, it was truly incomprehensible.

Two weeks passed.

Han Huohuo's first Tier 7 unit was finally produced. He did not create a gundam, but instead created an Avenger.

The Avenger was not large, only two meters tall, slightly taller than an ordinary person. It held a Gauss rifle in its hand, moved very flexibly, and had very smooth lines, just like a real person.

Han Xin tried to command the Avenger. The Avenger raised its hand and fired a shot, taking down an Eagle King in the air over ten miles away.

The shooting range and power were simply terrifying.

Super sniper.

Han Huohuo had never dreamed that he might possess an army composed purely of snipers. In a flat plain, no matter if the enemy was a flying unit or a magic unit, they would all be directly taken down, probably unable to get close.

Moreover, this thing was not only super powerful at long range, but its close-combat light sword attack also doubled its output.

A perfect ground unit.

Han Huohuo assigned the first Avenger to Ouyezi as a bodyguard.

The Old Emperor was absolutely in love with this robot; he even kept it by his bed when he slept at night, often scaring his eighteen-year-old young wife when she woke up in the middle of the night.

Going to pee in the middle of the night, looking up and seeing a huge black shadow by the bed—who wouldn't be scared!

Once the process was smooth, production ultimately got stuck on red jade.

The quantity of red jade was too small.

In the formula, each alloy required three red jade, plus the success rate of alloy manufacturing was only one-third. Calculating it, making one alloy required nearly ten red jade.

A red jade mine in the Desert only had a daily output of 300, which was far from enough!

Han Huohuo contacted Huo Yuan again.

“Da Ge, are you looking for me?” Huo Yuan saw the message immediately and quickly replied.

Han Huohuo suspected this guy had set up message alerts; as long as it was his message, the system would notify him immediately. Otherwise, how could he always reply so quickly?

“Yes, I want you to go deeper into the Desert and see if there are more red jade mines!?”

“To be honest, Da Ge, I know you are short of this kind of ore, and we are also anxious. These days, we have already taken our troops deeper into the Desert. It's strange, but we really found several mines—blue jade mines, white jade mines—but we haven't seen any red jade mines, so I didn't tell you. We are still exploring.” Huo Yuan quickly reported the progress to Han Huohuo.

Han Huohuo was delighted. This kid had a future; he knew what he wanted to do even before he gave the order and had already taken the initiative.

What boss in the world doesn't like such an employee?

Han Huohuo was naturally happy.

“Da Ge, do you want the blue jade mines and white jade mines? Should I send people to collect them too?”

“Is your army sufficient?”

“It's sufficient, Da Ge. I don't know why, but Sandworm venom has been selling particularly well recently, and the price has gone up. I've exchanged a lot of resources for it, and now I have a very large army. It's so awesome.” You could feel Huo Yuan's excitement even through the screen.

“A large army? How large?”

“Da Ge, I have over forty Gold Man and thirty Mechanical Giants now. Isn't that impressive? Ordinary Sandworms are no longer a threat to us.”

“Uh!”

Han Huohuo thought he was much stronger, but it turned out he only had so few soldiers and was already getting carried away. However, thinking about it again, in such a barren place as the Desert, this kid couldn't have much experience. Commanding nearly a hundred puppets was probably the biggest battle he had ever seen in his life.

As for Sandworm venom selling well, it was thanks to the war in Great Qian. Many external Lords had been forced into the fighting. In every faction, there were some external Lords participating in the war, and some Lords just wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Some Lords had even undergone their first advancement and become small warlords, colluding with the natives.

Seeing that Huo Yuan was so sensible,

Han Huohuo decided to increase his support.

“I want all those blue jade mines and white jade mines. You arrange for puppets to collect them. I'll help you look for better turrets and puppet barracks.”

“Okay, I'll go first thing tomorrow morning!”

If it was just for combat, those two puppet barracks were already very strong; they just needed to expand the army size.

But to guard the mines, more turret blueprints or special barracks like the Stalker would definitely be needed.

Han Huohuo returned to the forum.

He now needed to prioritize solving his Tier 7 unit problem, so he put red jade collection first.

Jiang Xiaowen sent a message: “Boss, you're famous recently!”

Han Huohuo smiled: “Haven't I always been famous?”

Jiang Xiaowen sent a laughing emoji covering her mouth and half-jokingly said: “But this time it's different. You've been cursed to death by someone named Hua Yule. Don't you even know?”
