MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 758 - : Squad
Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Squad
“This is what a pet looks like; it’s incredibly powerful.” The General’s voice trembled. Although modern weapons were far superior, the Fire Hawk had only just hatched and had the same potential for infinite growth as Mechas did. “If we could mass-produce these, they would be invincible.”
Elder Wei scoffed, “That’s wishful thinking. At this stage, it’s impossible.”
The General was puzzled, “Please enlighten me, Elder Wei.”
Elder Wei responded indifferently, “The Divine Metal is indeed formidable. But don’t you think you’re the only one who’s thought of it? Yet, why has no one done it?”
“.Please enlighten me,” the General came to his senses. The Divine Metal had been discovered more than two years prior, it was unlikely that no one else had considered it.
“Divine Metal is a marvel of nature. It can’t be mass-produced not because its yield is low, but due to its inherent properties,” Elder Wei said, sipping his tea. “The truth is, the Ancient Gods Company discovered Divine Metal many years ago, but its application was unclear. Even though it’s hard, there are alloys that are more durable than Divine Metal. Moreover, it’s nearly impossible to smelt it with other metals, so the Ancient Gods Company eventually abandoned it. They didn’t take this mining planet seriously.”
...
“It was a friend of mine who accidentally created a chip on this mining planet, giving birth to super-intelligence. Then, by chance, it was discovered that Divine Metal could serve as a medium. However, human spiritual power is too weak, and it can’t really perform any significant function. That is until the emergence of Mechas.”
“I have some idea about what you just said, but if there is plenty of minerals, why can’t they be mass-produced?” the General was still confused.
“That’s precisely because of the properties of Divine Metal, It’s almost as if it’s alive. Take the New Mech as an example. So far, only Li can match it with old Mechas. The Testers you’ve chosen would probably get blown to smithereens instantly,” Elder Wei retorted irritably.
The General gave a wry smile, “The more you say, the more confused I get.”
“You folks are quite blunt, huh? You need me to spell it out, don’t you? Alright, let me put it straight. Divine Metal is a type of memory metal. It’s capable of growth. But, such growth requires spiritual power. To use gaming terminology, it can level up. That’s the greatest value of The Ancient Gods game. It not only enhances everyone’s spiritual power and brands skills but also changes the attributes of the Divine Metal.”
The General finally dawned on it. Modern weapons were indeed powerful. While the Fire Hawk’s power was surprising, it was only relative to a single troop unit.
Even to manufacture a thousand Fire Hawks, you would need the will of a monster in The Ancient Gods. Ignoring their power, if they can’t be controlled once they’re created, it’s pointless. Autonomous Combat Aircraft are more useful because they can be remotely controlled, but objects made of Divine Metal cannot.”
“Does anyone else want to try it out?” Li Yao asked.
The other testers remained silent. Try it out my ass, with you, a freak, how can anyone else stand a chance?
Actually, the reason they contended for this tester position was not because the new Mecha was so powerful; rather, it was because of its massive potential. They had faced off against the old Mechas and were no match for them.
However, they knew very well that even without his pet, this freak was already far superior to the average old Mech. And now, with his pet, it was displaying the true form of a New Mech.
Actually, Elder Wei and others had always emphasized the importance of spiritual power and The Ancient Gods, but they didn’t believe it. They spent most of their time on Mecha control. If it weren’t for the fact that skills could be branded in The Ancient Gods, they wouldn’t even log into the game.
Now they finally understood they had gotten it backward. To make the Mecha stronger, they had to fight more in the game.
Elder Wei looked at everyone and said, “You previously asked why we didn’t form a unit when we had enough Mechas for a small squad, it was because you weren’t strong enough. Now that Li Yao has joined the squad, and given today’s performance, it should be enough to convince those people. Therefore, I declare the formation of the Pangu Independent Squad, and Li Yao is the squad leader.”
Li Yao was taken aback and hurriedly said, “I have just started a guild. I don’t have time to be a squad leader.”
The General said, “Li Yao, don’t underestimate this squad. You are independent and answer directly to the Research Room, and no one else can interfere. Your performance today has far exceeded our expectations. You can already be awarded a military rank, at least a Colonel.”
Even Li Yao was stunned. A Colonel? Are you kidding me?
In peacetime, there were Coloned his age, but they were very few. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe them as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
“That’s right, and this is just the beginning. As your strength improves, so will your military rank. If one day, you can completely surpass the old Mechas, then at a minimum, you’ll be a General,” said Elder Wei. “And your main role is to test, you don’t need to carry out tasks, so there will be no risks. Do you really think these guys are here just for the Mechas?”
The faces of the testers turned red. Several of them had joined through connections and were doing it just for the glory.
“That’s it for today, then. We’re going back to the headquarters. I’ll leave this place to Elder Wei,” said the General as he stood up. “You’ve seen your abilities. If you want to gain glory, you need to be more than just worthless wood. I don’t ask for much. As long as you have half the fighting strength of Colonel Li today, you can become a Junior Officer. Of course, you have three months. If you don’t reach that in three months, then sorry, you can go back where you came from.”
Except for Elder Wei and the female Colonel, everyone else left.
“Now the Pangu squad is established, and you are soldiers. So, from today, you will follow Colonel Li’s orders. He will train you. Those who disobey will know the consequences,” said Elder Wei seriously. From today onward, other people will have no say over the research room.
Though they were reluctant, everyone saluted solemnly.
“Elder Wei, you sure know how to scheme,” Li Yao said with a wry smile. This Colonel’s position wasn’t for free, he had to work for it.
But he had to accept this military rank. It was like an amulet. As Starfire Guild rose, there would be countless threats against them. The rank of a Colonel was already impressive.
“Li Yao, I’ll leave them to you. From now on, the training ground will be under your management. You can get familiar with it for a few days. Once you have everything arranged, you can return to Earth whenever you want, there will be no restrictions,” Elder Wei continued. “Chu Hong will be your deputy, assisting with the daily routines.”
Elder Wei slowly left after saying this.
Li Yao looked at the ten people and said, “I won’t waste time with pleasantries. If you wish to grow stronger, first raise your levels to thirty. You only have ten days.”
Except for Shao Feng, the faces of the other testers changed at once.

The Mage woman directly objected: “I’m only level 10 or so. How could I possibly reach level 30 in ten days?”…
