66: Chapter 66 Second System Upgrade Mission: Sky Overlord!

[Ding!]

[Current prestige points: 1,008,210 (Overlord of the Sea Stage)]

[Congratulations Host, the second system upgrade mission is available for collection!]

[Would you like to collect it?]

Lin Mo silently responded "Yes" in his mind.

[Mission collected successfully!]

[Second System Upgrade Mission — "Overlord of the Sky"]

[Mission Requirements: Use the "Xuannü" Aerospace Fighter to significantly boost the confidence of the Huaxia people and carry out a major strategic intimidation against the Western Treaty Organization countries led by the Eagle Country!]

[Mission Rewards:]

[1. Obtain 2,000,000 prestige points.]

[2. System upgrade to version 3.0, unlocking Level 3 technology!]

[3. Prestige system enters the Overlord of the Sea stage, unlocking more exchangeable items!]

He had finally received the latest system upgrade mission!

Lin Mo looked delighted!

As expected,

just as he had guessed,

the second mission was very similar to the first upgrade mission!

By using the core technology from the Level 2 tech tree, the "Xuannü" Aerospace Fighter, to conduct a massive strategic intimidation of the Eagle Country, he could complete the mission!

Of course,

judging by the massive gap in the prestige point rewards, the difficulty of the mission must have also skyrocketed!

"A 2 million prestige point reward... how should I intimidate the Eagle Country this time?"

Lin Mo was still a bit uncertain about the system's unique quantifier, "major."

However, he soon tossed this question to the back of his mind.

Even an Aerospace Fighter had been built; was he really afraid that the strategic intimidation wouldn't be enough?

If he didn't care about international repercussions,

at worst, he could form an Aerospace Fighter squadron and fly across the Eagle Country's territory at low altitude!

By then, the upgrade mission would definitely be completed!

"Let's go! Captain Liu, let's head back!"

Captain Liu Zhihui licked his lips.

He looked at those satellite fragments reluctantly,

saying with lingering excitement, "Chief Designer Lin, they don't know anyway. How about we head to the Eagle Country's airspace in the Western Hemisphere and fire off a few shots before we leave?"

Lin Mo laughed. "What, you're not afraid of dying now? Weren't you worried about problems with my fighter just a moment ago?"

Captain Liu Zhihui rubbed his armored head,

laughing sheepishly.

Lin Mo said irritably, "By following me, are you afraid you won't have opportunities in the future?"

"Hahaha! I really must have lost my mind!" Captain Liu Zhihui said excitedly.

"Returning!"

"Yes, sir!"

Inside the hall of the tactical command platform.

A technical officer shouted loudly.

"Chief of Staff!"

"Aerospace Fighter No. 1's altitude is decreasing!"

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng looked up at the large screen.

"Current flight altitude: 528 kilometers!"

"Flight speed: Mach 22.8!"

"..."

At this moment,

the satellite communication video call, which had been calling without pause, finally connected.

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng asked hurriedly.

"Chief Designer Lin, are you returning to the atmosphere?"

Lin Mo's voice came through.

"Yes, Chief of Staff, rest assured. We'll be back soon!"

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng knew that Lin Mo wouldn't listen no matter what he said, so he simply guided him.

"Comrade Lin Mo, please ensure you perform the landing while maintaining your own safety!"

Fifty minutes later.

At the Qilian Satellite Launch Center,

at No. 1 Aerospace Base,

everyone was waiting anxiously.

"It's here, it's back!"

Looking at the dark shadow in the sky, someone cried out in surprise.

Soon,

Captain Liu Zhihui piloted the Aerospace Fighter,

descending slowly from above No. 1 Aerospace Base,

and then parked steadily in its original position.

The cockpit canopy popped open.

Lin Mo and Captain Liu Zhihui jumped down.

They walked up to the leader,

removed their armored helmets,

stood at attention, and saluted.

"Leader, we have fulfilled the mission. The maiden flight was very successful!"

Looking at the leader's dark expression,

Lin Mo smiled sheepishly.

"Comrade Lin Mo, do you have any idea how dangerous this behavior was??!"

The leader had been building up his anger for nearly two hours,

and it was about to erupt like a volcano toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo quickly spoke up with a smile: "Leader, can I make up for my mistake with a contribution?"

The leader criticized him with a dark face: "Comrade Lin Mo, even if you brought back a contribution as big as the sky, I would still severely criticize and educate you today. If you continue to be so reckless in the future..."

Before the leader could finish, Lin Mo spoke up, "I just destroyed 100 of the Eagle Country's military spy satellites. Is that contribution enough?"

"De-de... what? Comrade Lin Mo, say that again?" The leader was stunned.

Lin Mo smiled.

"According to the fighter's radar determination, the Eagle Country had deployed 100 spy satellites over our Huaxia airspace at some unknown time!"

"And just now, we piloted the Aerospace Fighter and destroyed every single one of those military spy satellites!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone's expression changed drastically.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian said coldly, "We previously thought that among those 100 Eagle Country satellites, there were at most two or three military spy satellites mixed in!"

"I didn't expect that they were actually all military spy satellites!"

"Truly shameless to the extreme!"

The leader paced back and forth,

his expression shifting between light and dark.

He was thinking a level deeper.

"Comrade Lin Mo, you did the right thing, but it was indeed too rushed!"

"We must now put the entire army on emergency combat readiness!"

The leader looked at Lin Mo, wanting to say more, but ultimately let out a long sigh. "Sigh!"

"Since things have come to this, and it was the Eagle Country's shamelessness first, you can't be blamed no matter what!"

"Comrade Lin Mo, I promised before that no matter how big the incident, the Supreme Council would back you up!"

"This time, let our Huaxia Dragon Army soldiers undergo the blood and fire they must experience!"

Lin Mo looked at the leader in surprise.

Why were they suddenly preparing for all-out war with the Eagle Country?

He had only just built the first Aerospace Fighter; was the supreme leadership already this confident?

Seeing Lin Mo's confusion,

Chief Designer Bai Yannian explained with a furrowed brow, "Comrade Lin Mo, attacking another country's satellites is equivalent to a declaration of war!"

"And we didn't just destroy one, but over a hundred!"

"Given the Eagle Country's shameless style, how could they not retaliate against us frantically?"

Hearing this,

Lin Mo simply laughed.

"Have you all misunderstood something?"

"I only said I destroyed 100 of the Eagle Country's military satellites; I never said they knew I was the one who did it!"

After hearing Lin Mo's words,

both the leader and Chief Designer Bai Yannian were stunned.

Suddenly,

Chief Designer Bai Yannian remembered something and slapped his thigh. "Holy crap! That's true!"

"Leader, did you forget?"

"Just now, even our most advanced Huaxia radar system couldn't detect a trace of Lin Mo's fighter at all!"
