Chapter 135: The Second Spy

Su Chen looked at his second level mission and realized that the best way to gain control of more Base Cities was to eliminate the original Controllers. This is where his super soldiers could come into play, making him the Controller of the city.

However, this was a risky move. The Wangchang City Controller was an exception, as he attacked Su Chen first and was killed in self-defense. Zhu Hui didn't hold Su Chen responsible for that incident.

But if Su Chen were to actively eliminate other Controllers, Zhu Hui would be the first to come after him if he found out. Su Chen wasn't a person who would kill for no reason, especially if the other person hadn't done anything to him.

So, the only way was to use his super soldiers to defeat the original Controller in front of others and assert his dominance. Since not many people knew that his super soldiers were his, once they took control of the Base City, his second level mission would be easily accomplished.

"The host is ready to proceed with the second level mission. The Spy quota has been unlocked. The current number of Spies that can be possessed is two."

The System's voice made Su Chen's eyes light up. He could have two Spies now?

"Build the second Spy."

Without hesitation, Su Chen built the second Spy. The first Spy had brought him many surprises, and he wondered what this second Spy would be like.

Soon, the Spy reported to him. He carefully looked at the Spy and saw that the two Spies were completely different. If the first Spy looked like a mature middle-aged man, then this Spy was a young kid with messy hair.

"Greetings, Commander!" The Spy saluted.

"Well, your predecessor made a lot of contributions to the base. Can you live up to his legacy?" Su Chen put on his air of authority as Commander.

"Please rest assured, Commander. I will not be inferior to my predecessor!" The young Spy was full of confidence.

"Good. I'll give you a choice this time. Where do you want to go?"

Su Chen told the Spy about the surrounding situation and let him choose for himself. The young Spy almost immediately said, "I choose to go here."

Looking at where the young Spy pointed, Su Chen found that it was a second-level Base City, quite far away.

"That's your choice. I won't ask for your reasons. I'll upgrade your strength to the pinnacle of the Seventh Order. This way, even if you encounter an Eighth Order Mutant Beast, you'll have the ability to escape."

Thanks to the large amount of Energy Crystal he obtained from the arms trade, he had converted some of it into energy. Now he had over a million units of energy, so he wasn't worried about the tens of thousands of units needed for the upgrade.

"Thank you, Commander."

Because of the first Spy's role, Su Chen had high hopes for this Spy as well. It would take some time for the second Spy to reach that second-level Base City.

Just then, Su Chen received a message. Zhu Hui had encountered a group of powerful Mutant Beasts on his way back to Longxin City. This Mutant Beast group was second only to the royal family in terms of strength, with the strongest being a Seventh Order Mutant Beast.

However, without making a move, Zhu Hui had managed to eliminate the entire Mutant Beast group with the various weapons he had purchased from Su Chen, shocking many people. At the time, an Eighth Order Mutant Beast had wanted to make a move, but was scared away by a single sentence from Zhu Hui.

Now, Zhu Hui's reputation was louder than anyone else's. He had faced two Eighth Order Mutant Beasts alone, and one was dead while the other was missing. Many Mutant Beasts suspected that the Lizard Dragon hadn't actually gone missing, but rather was captured by Zhu Hui for research.

The research value of a living eighth-order Mutant Beast is immeasurable. In the past, humans have only obtained the corpses of eighth-order Mutant Beasts. This may be the only living eighth-order Mutant Beast.

For a time, Emperor Ming's reputation shook the Mutant Beast world.

As soon as Zhu Hui returned to Longxin City, he received a warm welcome from everyone. Their supreme Controller had not only killed two eighth-order Mutant Beasts but also brought back so many powerful weapons. They were the first to know this news.

Through this incident, Su Chen's weapon power spread all of a sudden.

Many people were inquiring where these weapons came from. They had never seen them before.

"Old Zhu, you are not kind enough. You have such awesome weapons, but you didn't give me any," a familiar voice came from the communicator and reached Zhu Hui's ear. He laughed softly, "Old King, if I were not kind enough, I wouldn't have prepared a set for you. It seems that I should give this set to Old Li instead."

"No, no, no, I was just kidding. What's our relationship? I'll send someone to you right away."

"Okay, but send someone with stronger abilities, just in case."

Except for the human rulers, who could talk so casually with Zhu Hui?

This "Old King" is Emperor Kong, and "Old Li" is Western Emperor.

Zhu Hui had already learned from Su Chen that he didn't mind spreading the weapons himself. Su Chen even hoped that the weapons would become well-known so that he could sell more weapons.

Imagine if all Base Cities bought their weapons from Su Chen, how many Energy Crystals would he have?

If someone really dared to attack Su Chen with a Red Alert weapon, Su Chen only needed a thought, and these weapons would be retrieved. He was as stable as an old dog.

Su Chen had made big plans, but he didn't expect Zhu Hui to encounter a Mutant Beast so soon, which made the reputation of his weapons spread.

As long as someone knew that Zhu Hui's weapons were purchased from him, there would be a steady stream of orders in the future.

However, this also raised a problem. It was okay for those closer to him, but for some Base Cities far away, it was unrealistic to buy large quantities of weapons from him.

That was tens of thousands of kilometers away, and there were many Mutant Beasts in between. People would probably die before they even arrived.

"It looks like I need to put the next sub-base farther away."

Su Chen opened the satellite interface and carefully looked at the map. This time, he had to choose a sub-base location at least ten thousand kilometers away, where there must be a presence of Base City.

After searching for a while, he finally found a suitable place.

"Good, let's decide on you."

This time, Su Chen did not use a regular core but used the core of Lizard Dragon, an eighth-order Mutant Beast, to build the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle). What was the difference?

Soon, the MCV was built, and Su Chen looked carefully. Hmm, it looked exactly the same.

"System, explain to me what's going on," Su Chen gritted his teeth.

"Master, by fusing the core of the eighth-order Mutant Beast Lizard Dragon, this MCV is essentially another Lizard Dragon."

Damn, that's so cool! (To be continued)
