Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 760: 558 compromise?

Every cha of the military required a detailed usage log, including exact tis of entering and exiting the storage, and it was forbidden to remain out of storage for long periods during non-combat and training missions—regulations that not even Bai E, now a general and the de facto controller of the military, could violate.

Therefore, his cha was not officially recorded in the registry.

Using the power almost equivalent to that of a marshal, under the guise of routine wear and tear, Bai E gradually embezzled parts to slowly assemble a complete set of cha components, which for him was only a matter of ti.

The only thing he had taken out of the hangar without authorization was the ch's insignia, which bore the cha's number.

Now, before the eyes of the entire Vanguard Team that had arrived earlier, Bai E manually assembled the various large components, which were still in parts, into a brand-new cha.

Helen, who silently watched everything, no longer wanted to delve into the strength that Bai E displayed by moving such gigantic cha parts by hand. She found Bai E's blatant behavior both irritating and amusing, "You're using these things stolen from the city right before my eyes?!"

Bai E, busy with his task, replied without looking back, "Aren't we all friends now?"

"In fact, with your current status, it wouldn't be a problem to have one specially assigned to you if you really wanted it."

"Those that are specially assigned are still out in the open..."

Such a large object would be too obvious if it went missing.

Everything about him that was public was probably under the strict surveillance of those in the high echelons of the city.

No matter how much it was "his," it ultimately belonged to the city.

What Bai E needed was absolute ownership that truly belonged to him.

"That's true," Helen said, pulling down her gold-rimd glasses on her face with a slight sense of resignation.

The glasses, designed for physical analysis, were now completely aningless to Bai E, who had activated his Spiritual Energy abilities. Perhaps at tis like these, the pure enjoynt with the naked eye was more aningful.

As the cha began to take shape, a distinct commotion erged from within the Intelligent chanism Base, which seed to be in a slumber.

At the very peak of the highest cliff, a long crack suddenly split open, and a tal door slowly unfolded, revealing a pure white figure rising into the air from within.

After a brief hover in the air, it charged directly toward the Vanguard Team where Bai E was.

Rose had just stepped down from the transport vehicle, outfitted in her exoskeleton armor, and with her excellent vision, she imdiately spotted the rapidly approaching object, "First-generation Intelligent chanism!"

Having followed Bai E through campaigns north and south, she had seen much, and knew that the pure white Intelligent chanism, graceful and agile, and even capable of freely flying and circling in the air, was nothing like the ordinary, cumberso models.

"They're launching an initiative!" Rose tensed, trying to control her exoskeleton armor to quickly move forward, attempting to stand in front of everyone and block the first-generation Intelligent chanism's attack.

"Don't be nervous," Bai E said, frowning slightly while still assembling the cha, stopping Rose's next move.

He was not quite clear on what the other party intended, but at least they didn't seem to co for an attack.

This first-generation white Intelligent chanism before him was the sa one that had fled from the Intelligent chanism army that attacked Li Ming Town last ti.

If it had been able to flee after leading an entire army to encircle Bai E last ti, how could it now launch a solo assault?

"Let's see what it wants to do before we act."

"...Yes," Rose replied, still standing in front of Bai E but slightly to the side, warily watching the approaching figure at a not-so-rapid speed.

"Human~, what~ are~ you~ pre~par~ing~ to~ do~?" A chanical female voice with a heavy electronic tone emitted from the Intelligent chanism, reaching the ears of everyone in the Vanguard Team.

The voice simulated by the first-generation Intelligent chanism consisted only of simple sentences and lacked any tone indicating emotion, making it impossible for anyone to discern the aning behind its question.

However, everyone in the Vanguard Team, who had co with the mindset of destroying the opposition, tensed up, thinking the enemy had likely co to reproach them and felt sowhat intimidated.

But the next mont, they reconsidered—

'Wait! Aren't we mortal enemies of the Intelligent chanisms? What does it matter if we're here to fight them?'

With that thought, they once again stood tall and proud, each looking at the silver-white body suspended in mid-air.

"Try out new weapons, and by the way, take so stuff from you," Bai E said, pointing at Rose and looking sincerely at the newcor, divulging his intentions.

"For your expansion, I have already ordered the proactive withdrawal from every factory and outpost outside this base, leaving the entire world to you humans. Is it still not enough to satisfy your human greed?" The silver first-generation Intelligent chanism stared at Bai E, the flickering electronic eyes seemingly reflecting confusion.

"This is not about satisfaction. It's rely about what we need to do. This world inherently belongs to humans, and we are simply reclaiming what is ours, step by step," Bai E explained seriously as he looked back at the Intelligent chanism, "Of course, I don't need the approval of your kind, beings under taboo. Feel free to try and stop what I am about to do."

"Or you could cooperate."

"..."

"..."

"???" Bai E looked at the other party, montarily puzzled.

Frankly, this was sothing he had not anticipated.

"What... what did you say?"

It was not just Bai E, the entire Vanguard Team, including Helen, stared sowhat absentmindedly at the silver-white first-generation Intelligent chanism that had shown up to negotiate.
