"Yeah, makes sense."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

"But all of this is nothing, the factories inside are the real deal. Let me give you a formal introduction. This is Outpost Base, home to several of our Tenth Legion's most important core factories. The factory on the left in front is a tank production base, the one on the right is a heavy artillery production area, and further ahead is a special smelting factory..."

Tai Shi said proudly.

Su Mo listened to Tai Shi's introduction, curiously looking around.

He saw transport vehicles carrying loads of ore into the smelting factories.

"Where does that ore come from?"

"From the mines. Over the basin, further ahead is our legion's largest mining area, with tens of thousands of players inside."

Tai Shi explained to Su Mo.

"Impressive."

Su Mo sincerely praised. There's strength in numbers—the saying really is true.

"It's alright, but the fact that this place could be built so well is mostly thanks to you combat players. Without you guys taking down bases one by one, getting production lines and all kinds of technical drawings, we wouldn't have been able to build such an advanced production base in such a short time."

...

Soon after, Tai Shi led Su Mo to the very center of the basin.

Ahead, not far away, was a giant factory covering hundreds of thousands of square meters, with ten Green Shield mechs guarding the factory gate.

"This is?"

"Hehe, shocked, right? This is our legion's mech production and maintenance factory, and also the most advanced technology production line we currently possess. Your task will be handed over here. After you go in, look for a supervisor named Hai Yi inside."

"Okay, thanks."

...

Inside the mech production area of Outpost Base...

A girl wearing glasses, with an unusually full chest, her clothes almost bursting, sat on a rattan chair, her left hand propping up her chin.

Her right hand was idly twirling a wrench.

She watched as one damaged Green Shield mech after another was sent in.

She sighed helplessly and complained.

"Why are only these garbage mechs being sent in for maintenance? Don't they have anything more advanced? Aside from the legion commander's mech, you don't expect the legion commander to be defeated or injured, do you?"

A skinny male subordinate next to her said, on the verge of tears, "Hai Yi, these are the main battle mechs right now, there aren't any awesome mechs. Besides the legion commander's, you can't be hoping for the legion commander to be defeated or injured, can you?"

"Yawn, boring."

Hai Yi yawned and complained listlessly.

"My ancestor, say less! If someone hears you, they'll start gossiping again."

"Why are you so timid, Zhang Mu?"

"I'm not timid, I just think it's better to avoid trouble."

.....

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded, followed by a huge shadow enveloping Hai Yi and Zhang Mu, and a calm voice rang out.

"Excuse me, are you Supervisor Hai Yi?"

Hai Yi and Zhang Mu looked up at the mech that had appeared before them.

Instantly, Hai Yi's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped up from the rattan chair, touching Su Mo's mech on the left and right, excitedly shouting.

"Second-generation mech!"

Su Mo also looked at Hai Yi in surprise, thinking she was overreacting.

Zhang Mu quickly reached out, grabbed Hai Yi, and hastily advised, "Sis, keep up appearances!"

Zhang Mu thought to himself, *Don't cause any more trouble*. This advanced mech, you could tell at a glance, belonged to a guild executive.

Unfortunately, Hai Yi was in an excited state and didn't react at all. If she could, she would tear Su Mo's mech apart right now.

After a long while, Zhang Mu finally pulled Hai Yi away, and Hai Yi returned to normal.

Su Mo placed the metal box in his hand on the ground, then opened the cockpit and jumped out.

"Lin Zinuo asked me to deliver this, and she also said that resupply is available here."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hai Yi looked at Zhang Mu in confusion.

Zhang Mu rubbed his forehead and said, "How would I know if there is? Can't you look at your guild mission log?"

Su Mo looked at the two with suspicion, his eyes a little unnatural.

Hai Yi immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, I was just kidding! I'll open the box and take a look."

Zhang Mu looked at her with an expression that said, *Yeah, right*.

Hai Yi deftly unlocked the metal box!

*Click!*

The metal box was opened, and inside were very delicate high-grade bearings and conductive circuits, as well as various complex mechanical parts.

"Aren't these mech repair parts? And I remember this set of parts is high-level stock from the legion? Shouldn't it be reserved for the legion commander's mech? Why send it to me? I don't have any advanced mechs here that need repairing."

Hai Yi was also very surprised.

When Su Mo saw these parts, he immediately realized that this set of parts was what Qin Wang had applied for from the legion, but he hadn't figured it out after tinkering with it for a long time.

It seemed that this mission was probably to assess and repair his own mech.

Moreover, the legion had allocated the best parts to him.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's goodwill towards the guild increased a lot. He said simply, "It should be for maintaining my mech. The left shoulder is a little damaged."

"If you say so, then it's probably right. These parts are for replacing joint conduction, but bro, let's discuss something, okay?"

Hai Yi probably understood her mission, and she suddenly grabbed Su Mo's hand excitedly.

Su Mo uncomfortably withdrew his hand and asked stiffly, "What is it?"

"How about you let me take apart your mech?"

"No way!"

"Don't be so stingy, just take it apart a little."

"No....."

Su Mo's face darkened. He had finally gotten a second-generation mech, and it was quite handy to use. Why would he let her tear it apart?!

He now looked at Hai Yi with some unease. Was this person reliable?

At that moment, Su Mo suddenly missed Qin Wang. Although that guy's skills were a little lacking, at least he was reliable. He was now very worried that this little girl would dismember his mech.

Thinking of this, Su Mo became more and more certain that he wouldn't log off during the entire repair process, no matter what.

"Sis, don't mess around! Second-generation mechs are ridiculously expensive now. If you accidentally break it, we won't be able to afford to pay for it even if we sell ourselves!"

Zhang Mu was even more anxious than Su Mo. There was nothing Hai Yi wouldn't do.

Other people came to work to earn money, but Hai Yi came to work and not only didn't earn any money, but now owed the company hundreds of thousands!

Don't think that Zhao Han only charged Su Mo 400,000 for the mech. That was because there was a high probability that the mech would be given to Su Mo anyway. She was just finalizing things.

This second-generation mech was worth at least several million in real life, and it was the kind that you couldn't buy even if you had the money.

It was already the top-level single-soldier weapon for exploration. There wasn't a single third-generation mech in the entire world yet.

For a long time to come, this mech would be top-tier equipment.
