Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 64 - 63: Choosing a Mecha

"Commander, are my reward Points really this high?" Lin Xinghai asked, still in disbelief after looking over the entire list.

"Don’t play dumb after hitting the jackpot," Xu Haishui said sourly from the side.

His own reward Points were less than a tenth of Lin Xinghai’s.

"Of course it’s correct. It’s all been reviewed twice," Fang Tianhe said with a smile.

"Then how many Points did you get as a reward?" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but ask.

Fang Tianhe replied, "10,300 Points."

"That... To be honest, I don’t think my contribution was greater than yours. Back at the Spacecraft Research Institute, if you hadn’t used your Superpower to clear the way, we would have never escaped," Lin Xinghai said frankly.

Although the Points were tempting, he planned to stay with the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps for the long haul. It wouldn’t be worth it if this caused resentment among the other Mercenaries.

"Haha, that’s because I’m the Commander. Protecting you is part of my duty, and it’s expected of me to turn the tide at critical moments. You, on the other hand, are a regular member, yet you critically wounded the Blood Demon, allowing us to escape. That definitely warrants an extra commendation."

"In the future, if you hold the position of a captain or higher within the Mercenary Corps and make the same contribution, the extra reward won’t be this large."

"Of course, by then, your salary and benefits will be on a completely different level than they are now," Fang Tianhe explained.

"The higher the position, the greater the responsibility," Shen Han summarized from the side.

Lin Xinghai nodded, gaining a new understanding of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ system.

After Lin Xinghai confirmed there were no issues with the list, Fang Tianhe had him take out his Identity Card and give it to someone from the finance department.

A moment later, 19,800 Points were transferred from the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ main account to his Identity Card.

From that moment on, Lin Xinghai could be considered a wealthy man.

Lin Xinghai checked on his wrist-comp; he now had a total of 24,132 Points in his account.

"Furthermore, given your B Level Genetic Assessment and your outstanding Gun Technique, from now on, you are considered one of the most important talents for the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps to cultivate."

"Based on our internal decision, we will be providing you with 20 bottles of Genetic Medicine Liquid per week." As Fang Tianhe spoke, he had someone bring out a row of Genetic Medicine Liquid and place it in front of Lin Xinghai.

The sight of that row of Genetic Medicine Liquid made Xu Haishui’s eyes practically glow green with envy.

"Wipe your drool. With your D Level Genetic Assessment, even if we gave all this Genetic Medicine Liquid to you, how many bottles could you even absorb in a week?" Wu Yan’s voice came from the side.

"Nobody would think you were mute if you just kept your mouth shut!" Xu Haishui cursed through gritted teeth.

By the time he turned his head back, Lin Xinghai had already put all the Genetic Medicine Liquid into his pockets.

Next, under Fang Tianhe’s lead, the group left the headquarters and headed for the Upper Level District.

Of course, "the group" referred to members of captain rank and above, plus Lin Xinghai.

Most of the other Mercenaries were envious of this, but not jealous.

On one hand, it was because of Lin Xinghai’s B Level Genetic Assessment; on the other, it was his astonishing talent for Gun Technique.

A talent like him would probably become a captain before long.

The group arrived at the elevators and then headed to the Upper Level District.

As the elevator doors opened, Lin Xinghai saw that in addition to a robot, there was also a fully armed soldier stationed there.

Entry and exit in the Upper Level District were much stricter; you couldn’t just pay 10 Points to come up here. You had to submit an application first and could only enter the Upper Level District after it was approved.

For an ordinary person, the review process alone would probably take one or two days.

Of course, Mercenaries had special privileges. This was especially true for a Mercenary Corps with a good record, which could use an express channel and have their review completed in five minutes.

"Please present your personal Identity Cards," the robot said in a synthesized electronic voice.

Everyone took out their Identity Cards, and only after each one was scanned and verified did the soldier grant them passage.

The layout of the Upper Level District wasn’t actually that different from the Middle Level District, but compared to the Middle Level District, the buildings here were far grander and larger.

This was because all the important scientific research institutions in the entire Shelter were located in the Upper Level District.

And the place where they were going to buy a Mecha was the Mecha Research Institute.

This was a building with a footprint of over 2,000 square meters.

A building of this size might not be much on the surface, but inside the Shelter, where every square meter of space was worth its weight in gold, a 2,000-square-meter building was absurdly large.

Led by Fang Tianhe, the group walked through the open main doors, where a row of attendants was waiting.

An attendant immediately came forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"Hello, welcome to the Mecha Research Institute. Are you here to tour the facility or to purchase a Mecha?" the pretty attendant asked.

"To purchase a Mecha!" Fang Tianhe’s reply was concise and to the point.

Hearing this, the professional smile on the pretty attendant’s face instantly blossomed into a genuine one.

"Right this way, everyone. I’m your sales guide, Tan Ya!" she said, introducing herself as she led the way.

Within the group, Fang Tianhe and Wu Yan remained expressionless. Roger’s attention was fixed on the Mecha models all around them. As for Shen Han, he was the type who wouldn’t even feign a pleasant expression for a woman. The only one smiling warmly at Tan Ya was Xu Haishui.

Unfortunately for him, Tan Ya was not interested, and her attention ultimately landed on the younger and more handsome Lin Xinghai.

She slowed her pace, and once she was a little closer to Lin Xinghai, she flashed a charming smile and asked, "I was wondering what kind of Mecha you’re looking to purchase? We’ve just launched our new Warrior series and War God series Mechas, I wonder if you..."

"No need. We’ll be purchasing a prototype directly. Also, have one of your engineers come over to configure a modification plan according to my requirements," Fang Tianhe cut in directly.

Tan Ya immediately shut her mouth. It was obvious this group of people—or at least Fang Tianhe, who was walking at the very front—knew what they were doing.

’There were pros and cons to this type of customer.’

’The pro was that a sale was almost guaranteed. The con was that there was no way to upsell them, which meant her commission on this sale would be significantly lower.’

Soon, the group arrived at the Mecha hall, a space dedicated to displaying Mechas. There were all sorts of different models: some were bulky, some were sleek; some looked menacing, while others appeared ornate.

The nearly 20 Mechas on display were a dazzling sight.

But Lin Xinghai could also tell that no matter how much their external appearances varied, they were all modified from the single prototype model placed in the corner of the hall.

To the long-time readers who followed me from *Apocalypse: Reincarnation*, you can also join the group chat. That book probably won’t be unbanned.

At the suggestion of readers in the group, I’ve written out the complete follow-up outline and uploaded it to the group files. You can read about the subsequent plot and the grand finale there, so at least there’s some closure.
