Colonial Suit

If there was one reward that Blood瞳 valued most right now, it would undoubtedly be the Gold Contribution Point.

This item was extremely precious, and although its function was similar to that of a Contribution Point, the effects were vastly different. The most significant difference was that Contribution Points required a certain amount to apply for corresponding services, while a single Gold Contribution Point was sufficient. Therefore, among mercenaries, it was also known as a 'Wish Point'.

For example, if Blood瞳 wanted to advance to a Trainee Mercenary, with a Gold Contribution Point, he could directly skip the three-year vassalage period and apply for the advancement mission. As for the Gemini siblings, this Gold Contribution Point could allow the Mercenary Branch to waive their previous penalties and immediately restore their status as Trainee Mercenaries.

Such an important reward, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. But Blood瞳 didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at瑟娃 with a strange gaze, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"What's wrong, Mr. Blood瞳? Is there something on my face?" Unable to withstand Blood瞳's invasive gaze, a rare blush appeared on瑟娃's face.

"I don't see any flowers. But I am curious."

"Curious about what?"

"Curious as to why you want me to join so much." Blood瞳 poured himself a glass of wine and took a light sip. "If I'm not mistaken, this last Gold Contribution Point is probably a special request you made. Otherwise, the branch would never pay such a valuable reward for a low-level mission."

"Low-level mission?" 瑟娃 smiled slightly. "Mr. Blood瞳, you still underestimate the situation on Planet T26. Space pirates and local forces have a significant advantage here. If we want to suppress them, this operation is crucial. But the problem is that the space pirates also have mercenary-level experts, so this mission is not easy. In fact, it's worth a Gold Contribution Point."

"............" Blood瞳 was silent for a while, just quietly looking at 瑟娃. After a long time, he put down his glass and revealed a playful smile.

"Is that really the case?"

"............" 瑟娃 was momentarily speechless. In fact, she seemed a little unsure from the beginning. Because this mission did have a hidden story. And this hidden story was so big that it made her feel棘手. In addition, there were really no local mercenaries available, so she came to Blood瞳 for help. But she didn't expect that in just a few words, Blood瞳 seemed to see through her intentions.

This man truly possessed an almost beast-like intuition.

Upon discovering this, 瑟娃 didn't intend to hide it any longer. She generously tossed her silver hair and revealed a faint smile.

"It seems that Mr. Blood瞳 knows more about the mission content than I do."

"No, I just think there's no such thing as a free lunch." Blood瞳 looked at the wine glass in his hand without changing his expression. His eyes were focused. "Tell me, what's really going on."

"Alright, I shouldn't hide it from you either." 瑟娃 moved her left hand, and the armor joints made a slight cracking sound. "This mission was originally a simple suppression mission. I only applied to the branch because I lacked manpower. But after the application was approved, an accident occurred. Our intelligence network relayed a shocking message that a high-level space pirate is on his way here. The estimated time of arrival is less than twenty-four hours."

"High-level space pirate?" Hearing this, Blood瞳's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to realize something. "You mean?"

"Meteor Class!" 瑟娃 revealed a bitter smile. "It's a Meteor Class warrior."

"Clang!" Jack, who was next to him, shuddered and knocked over a tray.

His face was pale, and even his body was shaking uncontrollably. Perhaps because he had followed亨瑟尔, Jack knew the terror of the Meteor Class even more than Blood瞳. That was a warrior who had truly entered the ranks of the strong, a strongman who could already perform cross-star missions. Their strength surpassed the limits of a Trainee Mercenary, and although they couldn't yet possess Destruction Skills, they were still beyond the reach of a Trainee Mercenary.

Generally speaking, they should be active in the Fifth World. Why would they appear here?

"............" Blood瞳 was also taken aback. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Your intelligence is correct?"

"It can't be wrong." 瑟娃 looked very distressed. "The intelligence is very detailed, even noting the background and abilities of this Meteor Class. But the more it is like this... the more I feel it is irresistible. That's why I had to come to you. On this planet, I really can't find a stronger warrior than you."

"Even if you find me, it's useless." Blood瞳 was silent for a while, and then honestly replied. "I'm just a vassal."

"But in fact, you already have the strength of a Trainee Mercenary." 瑟娃 said eagerly. "I know you're very strong, even stronger than most Trainee Mercenaries. It just so happens that I'm also about to become a Trainee Mercenary, plus the Gemini who are already Trainee Mercenaries. We have four people. Four Trainee Mercenaries, it's not entirely impossible."

Blood瞳 grinned and didn't reply. In fact, everyone knew that a battle between four Trainee Mercenaries and a Meteor Class was really impossible. No matter how strong Blood瞳 was, the difference in strength could not be made up overnight. The power of the Meteor Class had already reached the point of survival in the universe. In other words, even without armor, he could survive in the universe environment.

What powerful flesh and vitality was that!?

With the knowledge Blood瞳 had learned from the Core, this was clearly a transformation from a low-level life form to a high-level life form. The Meteor Class was in the first stage of transformation.

Fighting against such a warrior, he would probably be torn to pieces before he even fought. Facing the challenge head-on was called brave, but knowing that you were going to die and still going was called idiotic.

Blood瞳 didn't think he should be idiotic. So he decided to refuse.

"Thank you for your invitation. I know this is important to you. But I really can't help. First of all, I can't make decisions for the Gemini siblings. Also... even if I could, the three of us plus you are no match for the Meteor Class. I think you know this better than I do." Facing 瑟娃, Blood瞳 didn't beat around the bush and answered directly. "Twenty-four hours is not much time, but it should be enough for me to leave here. I don't think you should waste your time on me. Maybe the branch can give you better help."

"But in fact, there isn't any. The nearest Meteor Class mercenary is also five star regions away. They can't make it in time."

瑟娃's voice was a little sad. In fact, that was the case. She had lived on Planet T26 for many years and had already regarded it as her other hometown. But the appearance of the Meteor Class space pirate made her lose control of the situation all at once. Once the other party launched an attack, the local mercenaries would definitely suffer a devastating blow. They might even lose their base as a result.

"Then, please be prepared too." Blood瞳 said mercilessly. He wouldn't comfort people, let alone comfort a mercenary he didn't have much connection with.

In his opinion, since he had entered the mercenary circle, he had to be prepared to face difficulties. 瑟娃's sad expression was equal to weakness in his eyes. He was even thinking that if麗兒 was here, she would be much stronger than 瑟娃.

Because only living on was the greatest courage...

Putting down the glass, Blood瞳 intended to end the conversation. But just as he was about to stand up, 瑟娃 suddenly spoke.

"Wait, Mr. Blood瞳. I have one more thing to say."

"Hmm?" Blood瞳 raised his eyebrows. He turned his gaze to 瑟娃.

His gaze was very calm, with a faint sense of alienation. But 瑟娃 didn't seem to feel it at all. She said eagerly, "I know the strength of both sides is too disparate, and this invitation is a bit presumptuous. But, what if we're not without hope?"

"What do you mean?"

"That Meteor Class is injured." 瑟娃 bit her silver teeth and said affirmatively.

"According to intelligence, he just went through a great battle. And he rushed here in a hurry. I'm sure he hasn't received perfect treatment. And according to the intelligence of his previous battles, he has suffered at least three major blows. He may even have serious injuries. His strength is only about 30% at most!"

瑟娃 spoke faster and faster, and finally her eyes lit up. Obviously, she had placed all her bets on this. "A seriously injured and dying Meteor Class with only 30% of his strength left. I don't think he's invincible. Is he?"

"Mr. Blood瞳... you have to help me!"

..................

Looking at 瑟娃's expectant eyes, Blood瞳 fell silent instead. He reached out and groped, but found that he had changed his clothes, and the pack of cigarettes was left in the room. But Jack next to him was sharp-eyed and hurriedly took out a cigarette from his body and handed it to Blood瞳's mouth.

Blood瞳 lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. He felt the hot smoke surge in his lungs. After a while, he exhaled it, forming a smoke arrow. In the smoke, Blood瞳's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"You're just guessing. This matter has nothing to do with me. I can't put my partners in danger because of your guess."

"But this guess is very likely! And the greater the risk, the greater the benefit!" 瑟娃 said loudly. "If we defeat this Meteor Class, then this mission will be our assessment mission. It can directly make us Trainee Mercenaries."

"Hmm?" A cold light flashed in Blood瞳's eyes. "What do you mean?"

"This is a challenge beyond your level! In the mercenary rules, it is the most difficult to achieve, but also the fastest way to advance. As long as we defeat the Meteor Class, we can ignore any restrictions and directly advance to Trainee Mercenaries." Seeming to see that this matter was more attractive to Blood瞳, 瑟娃 spared no effort to persuade him.

"Mr. Blood瞳, we must stop him, otherwise Planet T26 will be finished."

"It's just the mercenary base here that will be finished." Blood瞳 corrected 瑟娃's words, and then pondered. Looking at his solemn expression, Jack next to him kept quiet out of fear. After a while, Blood瞳 took a hard puff of cigarette. He stubbed out the cigarette butt on his fingertip.

"I will withdraw at any time if this battle situation is wrong. But if it succeeds, I want that Gold Contribution Point."

"Okay!" 瑟娃 replied with great joy.

"Very good." Blood瞳 stood up and turned to Jack and said, "Go and find波西米雅. Maybe we should plan carefully."
