1174: Chapter 1160: Patrol Team 1174: Chapter 1160: Patrol Team White Ape City, also known as Flesh City, was once a neutral trading post, but is now a frontline at grinder defense area.
However, when Lu Ping’an’s blood-colored warship truly entered these waters, it encountered an unusual serenity and peace.
The city’s patrolling range was quite broad, and when the blood-red Redemption was surrounded by the water motorcycle patrol team, Lu Ping’an also spotted so familiar objects.
“I didn’t expect them to move so quickly…”
The exterior of those water motorcycles was of a design familiar to Lu Ping’an, but his Eye of Truth told him that the insides were entirely different.
So were purely chanical designs with creations akin to chanical spirit awakenings, while others incorporated biological constructions—even featuring the Healer’s “Semi-Artificial Humans” technology.
Though their appearances were consistent, seemingly products of the sa batch, Lu Ping’an saw various technological trials and modifications…
as well as an evidently frightening logistics pressure.
“You guys play like this, aren’t you worried about a logistics explosion?
If they break, they can’t really be fixed, right?”
“…
Once they break, we just discard them.
They’re all obsolete goods, no need for repairs, and they can’t be repaired anyway.”
It had already been at least three years since their arrival, and as terrestrial life forms, humans had a need for surface and underwater transportation vehicles.
In fact, even before this public tender, several generations of products had already been replaced.
But since they are still tendering now, it’s evident that the previous “water/underwater motorcycles,” “jet boards,” and the like, weren’t quite user-friendly.
The reason Lu Ping’an noticed this imdiately was because…
“Those flying shuttles, how do you feel about using them?”
What surprised Lu Ping’an was that he actually saw several “flying shuttles” among the patrol team, identifiable by their serial numbers as being from the initial batch.
Lu Ping’an was amazed that these had so quickly reached the hands of the frontline warriors.
But on second thought, it seed only natural.
Perhaps these were the first batch of orders, and although they were on the sa ship, the custors probably had them delivered directly to the frontline for practical trials.
“So-so, the maneuverability isn’t bad, but the failure rate is too high.
And the maintenance takes too long…”
“The most troubleso thing is that it’s an integrated unit, seems like we must replace the whole thing if it gets damaged; it’s not as handy as parts from other vehicles…”
“The steering is also a bit problematic…”
As expected, and all the more realistic, most of the feedback was negative.
After all, the first batch of water flying shuttles could be considered rushed products, with all aspects quite imperfect, not even as stable as those magically modified water motorcycles, but…
“I happen to be the agent for these flying shuttles…”
With one sentence, Lu Ping’an made the atmosphere turn sowhat odd.
“…
But in fact, what you’re using is our old version 1.0, we’ve now upgraded to version 3.0.
Since destiny has brought us together today, let’s just switch out the old for the new.
All you need to do is write a letter afterwards telling about your experience using them,” he offered.
As he spoke, Lu Ping’an clapped his hands.
Soone then brought out set after set of flying shuttles, all recent products, the latest from the workshop.
In reality, version 3.0 was just what Lu Ping’an rembered from the last report; the current version had already been updated to 5.423, and it was by no ans the sa thing.
Its appearance resembled a “torpedo with a handle,” only half the original volu and a third of the weight, yet its power and explosive force, along with other basic attributes, had reached more than 1.5 tis the original after being adapted to this world.
More importantly, it was improved based on various battlefront experiences.
“Hold the handle, step on the board, and it’s a water motorcycle; pull the handle, crank up the gear, and let it drag you, and it becos an underwater scooter…”
Lu Ping’an even hired a beautiful saleswoman to ensure that the “knights” patiently listened to the simple and practical introductions.
These individuals were constantly taming the borders of Flesh City and inspecting many passing vessels; they were natural live advertisents.
Of course, user experience was not that important; Lu Ping’an’s side had already collected enough data.
But those “small flying shuttles” with the large Rebirth Comrce Emblem were the best form of live marketing.
Perhaps it was still too early for the age when every taxi on the streets carries an advertisent, but at least for now, the patrolling knights were quite pleased to accept this gift.
After a brief trial, they fell in love with it…
it was a completely different class from the previous one.
This wasn’t to say that the engineers from No.1 Flying Shuttle Factory were any less skilled.
It was simply because those researchers ca over and completed a large number of updates and iterations at the actual battlefront.
The smaller size was more suitable for carrying, even foldable into a backpack to be worn, while another water motorcycle could be used as backup.
The remarkable acceleration and explosive force also received unanimous praise after a simple trial…
“We should be opening a branch in the city, with many products to offer, including weapons, magic potions, and even manpower leasing.
Feel free to have a look if you’re interested…”
Lu Ping’an’s seemingly simple words contained his hopes.
He truly wanted to market the Long Hand Clan to this water knight squad, though it seed that it might take so more ti and refinent.
After escorting them halfway and passing through nurous checkpoints and inspections, the patrol team continued on, and Lu Ping’an finally saw his destination: the legendary White Ape City.
But with just one glance, Lu Ping’an felt sothing was amiss, wondering if he had arrived at the wrong place.
“Is this a city?
It feels more like a pile of junk cobbled together.”
Coral foundations, large floating reefs made of synthetic cent, giant stranded ships, countless Floating Wood cobbled into “wooden bases”…
In short, an endless expanse of waterborne “junk” ca together to form the “Floating Island Group” before him, or rather, a super junk pile that was impossible to separate.
As Lu Ping’an’s party approached closer, even his giant “cargo ship” seed minor compared to the “base” of those stranded juggernauts, making it clear to him that this behemoth was probably excessively large.
Yet after completing this journey, the ironic tranquility he found upon entering Flesh City was sowhat amusing to him.
“There are many people, but still a lot of other races.”
In so sense, this was one of the top three superhuman outposts in the world, naturally hosting a large number of professionals.
But Lu Ping’an indeed saw many Long Hand Clan and Fishman performing mundane tasks, which for him, was fortunate.
Yet the foremost task was still to pay homage at the dock.
After all, this was the domain of the human frontline supre commander, who was necessarily supported by the strongest combat power…
a true Quasi-God.
