Titanfall (1)

Close to 500 Warriors and 2,000 Elites were decimated under the attack of 100 units of BSV Honeybee Package. As it was not built to last, the BSV shattered into unusable pieces to reduce the recycling and collection effort.

The crowd remained silent as Cao Ying and Cao Zhen moved around checking on their units. After making sure nobody is contaminated or injured, they replaced their equipment hanging on the Minos and proceed forward.

It was a competition to see who gathered the most Grey Duranium Core after the battle. With Han Niu and Niu Ke arrived at the battlefield, four APVs are busy processing the flesh into electricity, with the soldiers picking up the cores.

"Q... Quickly get down there! We have to collect some as well!" the other gang leaders or trusted partners quickly descend from the walls to collect their own portion.

Only those like Wanshui Group, Yang Militarized Group, and Azure Wind Gang is capable of moving further as they cleared the remains. As for the others, they're merely picking up what's left after the three move forward.

"Getting about 400 Grey Duranium Cores after the battle is quite a good result," Zhang Qin Feng praised his men after they reported their loots at the end of the Third Wave. It is estimated that close to 1,000 Warriors participated in this wave, with the pointless to hunt Elite and Carrier.

This is why Zhang Qin Feng praised them for collecting 400 out of 1,000 dropped cores.

But not too long after that, smaller gang leaders came forward and requested to talk with Wu Manya, the most senior Lieutenant present in this Alliance Fortress.

"Greetings. I am here on behalf of my boss, my name is Wu Manya, Lieutenant of 1st platoon," he gave them a light salutation before his introduction.

"I hope you won't mind that my boss will be hearing what we'll talk about in this meeting. Let's get started if you're ready," Wu Manya waved his hand before them, telling them it's fine to speak about what's in their mind.

"Let me start first. It is my honor to speak here while the Leader of Qingfeng is listening." one of the gang leaders raised his hand to start first.

"I am Qian Lang, leader of Charger Wolves Gang. Sitting beside me is my younger brother, Hei Lang." he begins their conversation by a self-introduction.

"Based on the effort of your soldiers, I'm sure that Qinfeng Gang already found out about what's inside the core. As a smaller gang with less than 5 computation strength, we have no intention to compete with your gang using this core."

"But at the same time, we can't let go of this without any benefit. Let me know if Qingfeng Leader has anything to say." Qian Lang lowered his hand after he's done talking.

"Yes, sir." Wu Manya did not reply to his question but speaks privately with Zhang Qin Feng. Soon, he raised his hand with the Luna III device and pointed in front of everyone.

"Bzzt!" the Luna III of eighteen gang leaders vibrates at the same time.

"Please accept it. My boss wished to join everyone in this discussion." Wu Manya suggested that they answered the call. After a little hesitation, everyone shakes their wrist slightly, which is the gesture to answer the call.

"Hello, everyone." Zhang Qin Feng's voice came into their ears.

"I do have some suggestions, but I'd like to listen to the leader's opinion. You may continue with the discussion." Zhang Qin Feng remained silent after he's finished his sentence.

"Feixue Gang Leader, Li Qin." another leader raised his hand to speak.

"The technology controlled by Azure Wind is excellent, but unfortunately, too many restrictions. If there's an intention to outsource them to increase our survival rate, what about considering us, the smaller factions?" Li Qin's aim is more towards the right to possess a weapon like the RR-HU, the Honeybee, or the APV.

Zhang Qin Feng remained silent after Li Qin stated what he's here for. The one seated opposite of him, Wu Manya, is gritting his teeth hard due to anger.

"Gang Leader Li Qin," Zhang Qin Feng addressed him from his Luna III Device.

"I'm afraid that even with what you have now, it will be difficult for us to make you a brand new RR-HU. If you're insisting that we share the blueprint with you..." Zhang Qin Feng stopped speaking out of sudden before he finished the last sentence.

"Leader of Qingfeng, go ahead and speak. We're all in the same boat at this moment." the Feixue Gang Leader interrupted.

"Without a hundred printers in your base, it will be extremely challenging to manufacture a complete unit of RR-HU. Sorry to tell you but the circuit board, magnetized prongs, and such needed a Privatized-Type Material Printer capability."

Zhang Qin Feng's finishing words are like a bucket of iced water poured on Li Qin's face. What does that mean, anyway?

Although what's Zhang Qin Feng said is a fact, he did not thoroughly explain the reason they're well equipped with the RR-HU. Furthermore, his reply only made Azure Wind Base even more mysterious.

First of all, the ability to produce grains like wheat, maize, and rice. The three main products allowed further branches to be added to their inventory, such as alcohol, feed, livestock, fire, and flour.

The further they branch into more, the more varieties opened as an option to them.

Another concern between them is Zhang Qin Feng's ability behind the scene. It is not impossible to recreate what Zhang Qin Feng has done, but what kind of preparation they must have? Only on the APV alone, it might cost them over a year to fully assembling one unit!

"Does that mean you have more than one privatized-type printer in your printing hall?" another gang leader asked.

"Sorry, I'm Mawang from Mawang Group," he quickly introduces himself before misunderstanding happened.

"If Leader of Qingfeng willing to produce the RR-HU to us at a price, we're more than willing to pay for the service!" he added. This way of approach is far better than Li Qin.

"Mawang Gang Leader, Qingfeng indeed has more than one Privatized-Type printer, but our hand is full as well. We're expecting close to 20% malfunction on our own weapon, so I'm afraid that even if we wished we can't do it." Zhang Qin Feng sighed like he's a born actor.

"So, what do you suggest?" Li Qin allowed Zhang Qin Feng to finish what he's going to say, but that's their greatest mistake! Even the other leaders that yet to speak felt a hint of regret for not speaking out.

By allowing Zhang Qin Feng to make the offer, the negotiation will end up siding with Azure Wind Base. As the seller that needs a customer base to make a profit, prices are usually bargained until a final figure is agreed by both sides.

But the practice is broken by Li Qin's word.

"Everyone, you don't have to worry. We're not the kind that robs the house while it was on fire." Suddenly, Zhang Qin Feng broke his silence and interrupted.

"I hope so." Li Qin added.

"Although we're not capable of making more RR-HU out right now, our reserve is enough to fit two additional platoons. We can't sell the RR-HU out to others, but we can rent it out."

"The price is going to be one grey core per gun, with the Azure Wind Gang covering your ammunition, maintenance, and storage. The rental contract will be until the Titanfall ends."

"If you agreed with my offer, put aside the RR-HU, we can even deal with the Honeybee. Don't forget that the Azure Wind Base also carries a sufficient amount of General Recovery Serum for any emergency!" Zhang Qin Feng turned into a sly businessman out of sudden.

Sneakily listening to their conversation is Guo Jing and Dan Bao.

Even they're speechless after listening to their boss.

"Do you know what boss is going to do with the grey cores?" Guo Jing asked. Since Dan Bao followed Zhang Qin Feng longer than he does, he should understand their boss a little more.

"Don't ask me. Ah, Dan Mi, come here!" Dan Bao shakes his head as his answer. But coincidently, Dan Mi came into his room. The two of them grabbed him down on the couch before they bombard him with questions.

"What the boss is thinking?" Dan Mi laughed.

"Of course, the more profit, the better!"
