Not long after Sword Dragon Duolin saw the man in black, the bio-mecha's magnetic field disappeared completely, suggesting it has most likely fallen into someone else's hands.
They quickly reported this information, triggering a swift reaction from the military intelligence, who cordoned off nearby starfields and disguised as a merchant team to conduct a wide-range secret search. Borgheide, being a super empire, didn't believe anything could slip through their net.
Regrettably, they have been searching the nearby starfields for over half a month without any leads. Along the way, they encountered a middle-sized pirate team, which surrendered under their overwhelming force within two hours.
Upon receiving further intelligence, they found out that this pirate team was just a small offshoot of Pirate King Bruce. Knowing he couldn't beat the military, Bruce had taken a speedboat and fled before the fight even began, leaving the pirate team as a tactical diversion for his escape.
The top brass of the empire were enraged. They speculated that the bio-mecha must be between Bruce and the black-clothed man. Strategically, artificial intelligence has far-reaching impacts, but in terms of combat, the bio-mecha was just as valuable. The invaluable information regarding the presence of bio-mecha on the Death Planet was an unexpected discovery made by Borgheide empire's agent during an exploration mission.
Unfortunately, the conditions on the Death Planet were extremely hostile. The agent risked his life to enter a heavily polluted zone for verification. Even though he was awarded with the highest merit, he could not withstand the radiation and lost his life shortly after providing the approximate location of the bio-mecha.
Sword Dragon Duolin embarked on the mission with this scant clue, but someone else got there first. This was an unerasable humiliation for both the empire and Sword Dragon.
But there was no choice. Sword Dragon Duolin was undeniably the ideal candidate for executing this top-secret mission. Even with protective gear, an ordinary person would struggle to resist the radiation, and the empire couldn't risk exposing its identity by sending large forces. So, they had to rely on Sword Dragon Duolin, but who would have thought...
To track down any leads, the empire did not hesitate to employ the Starlight Projection Technique. This technique creates an indiscriminate surveillance across the entire airspace. Any energy leakage from a spaceship or star light refraction would be detected. The search ultimately pinpointed the Black Devil Galaxy, which was the nearest to the Death Planet. The Bull Planet was the only planet suitable for human habitation. Enraged, Borgheide wasn't going to easily give up.
But it was not just Borgheide that was furious. Bruce was equally furious too. This was the first time he was nearly killed on the Death Planet, and then Borgheide wiped out one of his forces in space a second time. This was the beginning of their vendetta. Wait and see, Borgheide!
As to why Borgheide's rigorous search didn't find the escape spaceship, the answer was simple. They had Blade Warrior to thank for. With just a minor modification to the spaceship, avoiding wide-range detection was not difficult at all.
Over on Bull Planet, Feng Yi, who was roaming around Main Street of Yatu Town, had been searching for quite a while. He looked from left to right, with a piece of grass dangling from his mouth. There were countless mechanic shops, but only less than ten could catch his eye. Big Head Mechanic Center, in particular, caught his attention due to its vast area and a variety of odd devices displayed around. There were gliders, modified off-roaders, mobile soldiers, and even pricey Mechanical Dog Boqi.
Mechanical Dog Boqi is a semi-bio mecha. Its C-Class Intelligent Brain System can swiftly react to a voice command from its owner. Feng Yi guessed that the owner of the shop might have some insights into bio-mecha, so why not drop by and have a chat.
Upon approaching the mechanic shop, it was bustling with activity. Many middle-aged men were chatting over their drinks. There were hunters coming in and out. It seemed they were all there to rent equipment for their nighttime hunting expeditions. Besides, there were people in combat suits gathering around, buying items from an automatic vending machine.
As the name suggested, this vending machine would provide you with tactical items as long as you were a certified hunter and paid in gold coins. The lottery system was a major feature that was highly popular among young hunters.
After all, items like fire bottle ginseng pills were essential for outdoors adventures. Ding dong! Amidst the commotion, someone lucky had just won.
"Congratulations to Novice Hunter Xixi for winning a large medical kit." A pleasant synthesized voice announced, making everyone around extremely envious. The kit contained three ginseng pills, a coagulation capsule, and a vial of adrenaline shot, among other emergency supplies.
Someone on the spot was willing to buy the large medical kit for a price 30 times higher than what was initially paid. A blond handsome gentleman made a gallant proposition: "This beautiful Miss, I am Topelski, a certified hunter from Jason High Tower. Tonight I'm on a C-Class mission. I don't know, could you sell me the big medical kit for 3000 G coins?"
Certified Hunter carry out C-Class mission? Oh my god! In the large town of Yatu, out of a million people, only over a hundred had reached Rank 3. Who would have thought this handsome guy had achieved such an unimaginable level of skills? His voice instantly triggered a wave of hysterical screams among the girls... If they could cling on to him, that would be absolutely fantastic.
"Huh, what's so impressive about that, I'm a prospective rank one," scoffed the Blade Warrior, with hands on her waist and a proud tilt of her head. Though she murmured under her breath, she immediately took out her Combat Power Tester to assess his strength, "Just under 1700 combat power. It seems I am still quite impressive, hee haw haw..."
Feng Yi was taken aback, leaning against the wall and letting out a long sigh, seeming to give up on her endless chatter, wondering if bringing this self-talking woman out was a right decision.
As soon as the words left the handsome guy's mouth, they were immediately rejected by the young girl. She held tightly onto the big medical kit as if someone was going to snatch it from her, "Sorry, the medical kit is mine, not for sale."
Topelski awkwardly explained that it was only a transfer, not a sale. But all he received was silence from the shy girl... What people hate the most is an awkward silence. In short, all the talking were just futilities, if she refused, then it's a no.
Feng Yi was too tired to stick around with Blade Warrior any longer. He stepped forward towards a middle-aged man who was busy working under a car, "Are you the shop owner?"
"You got the right person. What do you need? Equipment repair?" The man didn't even bother to look up.
"Maintenance, modification, everything."
"Outsider, my prices aren't cheap. If it's not a major issue, it's more economical to go to another shop."
