Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Fourth Generation Fighter (Extra for Alliance Leader Wuxie without worries) (Fourth Update)

Illias did not concern himself with Ned’s astonishment; instead, he watched as Yueken controlled the damaged mecha to retreat and regroup with his subordinates.

He spoke coldly.

"Captain Yueken, you have already lost. I’ll give you one more chance, withdraw your men immediately, or don’t blame me for being rude."

Yueken, clenching his teeth furiously, still managed to shout.

"We retreat!"

Seeing Yueken and his men withdrawing, Nova and others immediately maneuvered their mechas to flee.

At this moment, Ned asked with great confusion.

"Captain, why didn’t we kill that guy?"

"Enduring small grievances is essential for securing larger strategies; now is not the time to start a war with the Federation. You must understand one thing, this world doesn’t just have one Federation, there’s also the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. If we fight the Federation now, wouldn’t it just benefit the opportunists?"

Illias analyzed calmly.

"The captain is right, I was reckless."

Ned responded respectfully.

"Let’s go!"

Illias then led his subordinates towards the mining base.

Soon after, Illias stormed into the reserve store of the mining mechas. They were greeted by neatly stacked blocks of refined iron, shaped like pyramids, in considerable quantities. At the very back, there were blocks of Vibranium used for making Third Generation Mechas.

"So many minerals, we’ve struck it rich!"

Ned and the others exclaimed excitedly.

"Move them!"

Illias ordered cheerfully.

The next morning.

Su Ming returned to Imperial Court Academy, heading towards the arena. He had specifically asked Rhein when he got back to school. Rhein told him that Mia was taking them to the training field today.

It wasn’t long before Su Ming arrived at the training field.

He spotted Rhein and a few others with Mia from afar, watching the training field students, waiting for their turn.

As for Mia, she was looking down, continuously scrolling through her bracelet.

Su Ming approached Mia and asked curiously,

"Teacher, what are you scrolling through?"

Mia sighed and said,

"What else could it be but catching up on the latest news? The Federation has lost another Mining Star located in the transit area. The personnel in charge just fled back in embarrassment yesterday."

Hearing this, Su Ming said with a slight frown,

"Isn’t this just gradually whittling away at the Federation, steadily closing in on us?"

"Exactly, everyone below is almost cursing now, but what can you do? The Federation is currently like scattered sand, lacking a leading core, absolutely powerless to resist."

Mia responded with a sense of helplessness.

"What about the Council Chairman? Why isn’t the Council Chairman taking charge?"

Su Ming asked, perplexed.

"Council Chairman? If he were here, would there be so much trouble? Now it’s precisely because he’s absent that Galcks, the City Lord, can’t suppress the other two cities and Sixteen District. They just can’t unite, and that’s why they’re so passive!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Ah, I see."

"Anyway, let’s not talk about this; it’s none of your concern. Do you want to try handling a mecha? Though I don’t think you really need to."

Mia picked up a small bottle of liquor lying beside her and took a sip, speaking languidly.

"I’ll pass on handling the mecha, but teacher, may I ask you something?"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"It’s definitely nothing good, but ask away!"

"Hey teacher, I wanted to ask what the situation with the Fourth Generation Mechas is right now?"

"Phew~"

Mia spewed out a mouthful of wine.

"What’s wrong?"

"You kid actually thought about getting your hands on a Fourth Generation Mecha, were you wowed by the ones in the league?"

"Yup."

"Let me tell you, those in the league are just generated by virtual data. It may seem like there are a lot of Fourth Generation Machines, but in reality, they are extremely rare and not something you can just buy if you feel like it. I don’t know if you’ve touched a Fourth Generation Machine in the virtual world, but I have to tell you, that’s just a simulation. Even if it claims to be 100% accurate, it’s still different from the real thing!"

"And don’t you get cocky just because you’ve achieved some results. After all, in the virtual world, you guys don’t die, so the mental pressure is much lighter. But in the real world, emotions can fluctuate dramatically during war, and some people might panic uncontrollably when faced with death."

Mia said with a grin.

"You’re absolutely right, Teacher."

Su Ming agreed completely with Mia’s statements. Only those who had really experienced war and death could understand how accurate her words were.

"Well, considering all the prize money you’ve given me, I’ll spill the details about the prices and availability of the Fourth Generation Machines, but this is top secret!"

"Thank you, Teacher."

"First, there aren’t many manufacturers in the entire Federation that can produce Fourth Generation Mechas – only five, and three of these are officially run. Furthermore, due to the complex technology and the rare minerals required, the quantity mined each year is very limited. This makes the production of Fourth Generation Machines extremely scarce, and their prices sky-high."

"How expensive?"

Su Ming asked calmly.

"Starting at ten billion Federation coins!"

Mia held up a finger and said seriously.

Hearing the price, Su Ming instantly fell silent. He knew they’d be expensive, but this was beyond his expectation.

"Do you think it’s too expensive?"

"Yeah."

"Let me tell you something else, the biggest barrier to buying a Fourth Generation Mecha isn’t the price, but the fact that you simply can’t find one to buy! There’s a lot of demand, and many of those demanding Fourth Generation Mechas are military officers. They will do everything possible to secure a spot, so without the right connections, you couldn’t buy one."

Mia said cheerfully to Su Ming.

Hearing this, Su Ming sighed slightly, then spoke.

"Teacher, is it easy to buy a Third Generation Green Wing Mecha?"

"The Green Wing Mecha isn’t easy to buy either; it’s a very popular model. Not only is there a significant markup, but orders also can’t keep up."

Mia informed Su Ming.

"Teacher, is there any channel through which I can buy a Green Wing Mecha? It’s possible to purchase one through the school’s marketplace, but the conditions are too hard."

Su Ming asked somewhat anxiously.

"Of course, there is, but I need to check. Why don’t you wait for my news?"

"Okay!"

"Alright, anything else?"

"No, that’s all."

"Then I’ll leave this place in your hands. When you have a chance, guide Rhein and others in their practice. I’m off work!"

Mia stretched lazily, ready to slip away and leave everything behind.

"Okay!"

Su Ming didn’t say much.

Humming a little tune, Mia was about to leave when she suddenly saw Vice Principal Fleck walking towards her with his hands behind his back.

"Damn!"

Mia dodged to the side as if she had seen a ghost.

It had been centuries since Vice Principal Fleck had visited the training ground. Why had he suddenly shown up now? Was it to find trouble with her?

But Mia also couldn’t make sense of it. She hadn’t done anything excessive lately, had she? Or could it be about the trick with the student’s prize money?

The more Mia thought about it, the more uneasy she felt!
