Chapter 174.2 Battle (1)

Editor: Jodi

“Marshal Yu, I request a bottle of phantom elixir.” Lieutenant General Lin suddenly said to Yu Xiu Yuan.

Yu Xiu Yuan froze, then asked, “You want a phantom elixir? With your mental state, the success rate of advancing to the S level is very low, and even if you do succeed, the process will take a long time.”

“You’re right. With the state of my sea of consciousness, it can’t withstand the effect of a phantom elixir, and the success rate will be very low. However a phantom elixir can stimulate my mental energy in a short time and make it reach the S level in a very short period. As long as I reach the S level, I will be able to get close to the Zerg Emperor.” Lieutenant General Lin told him.

Lieutenant General Lin’s words immediately woke several others with A+ level mental energy up, then voices volunteering for the mission rose one after the other in the meeting room.

“Count me in.”

“I’m willing too.”

“Give me a bottle of phantom elixir as well.”

“Old Lin is right, the Federation will still need you to protect it in the future, so let us handle this kind of task.”

“You guys…” From the first day in the military, Yu Xiu Yuan told himself that he would only bleed, not cry in his life, however at this moment, his eyes suddenly turned red as he choked up, unable to speak.

If there was even the slightest chance of another method, then he wouldn’t agree to this battle plan, however they all knew that this was the only way, and that it had to be implemented as soon as possible.

Before the reinforcement had arrived, Old Pang had brought two warships, and what he now needed to do was to dismantle the energy cannons from the warships, retrofit them, and then install them on the mechs assigned for the mission. Old Zhong was assisting him with the retrofitting.

“I remember you criticized me back then, saying that although this weapon is powerful, it lacks flexibility and isn’t really a good thing. I even retorted at the time, but now….. sigh.” Remembering the past, Old Pang couldn’t help but sigh, “I should have listened to you.”

“Although I said that at the time, I knew in my heart that if we pursued flexibility, the weapon’s lethality would be reduced greatly, and that it wouldn’t qualify as a star-level weapon.” Old Zhong said with a bitter smile, “You must have also thought about improving it over the years, right?”

Old Pang nodded silently. He had thought of improving it, but as Old Zhong said, he could only choose between flexibility and lethality.

“It seems now, your choice was right. At the very least, this thing might still have a chance to injure the Zerg Emperor.” Otherwise, facing the Zerg Emperor now with a plethora of weapons that couldn’t even scratch its shell would be pointless.

The two stopped talking and lowering their heads, focused on what they were doing, praying silently that the star-level weapon’s power could really obliterate the Zerg Emperor with one strike.

Compared to the Tianhe One warship, a phantom elixir was much more easier to obtain, as almost every legion’s base had a reserve, and the Pharmacist accompanying them carried two bottles. At the moment, a pharmacist was calculating the time it would take for the phantom elixirs to take effect based on the mental data of the two Lieutenant Generals.

“Lieutenant General Lin will advance to the S level within approximately 2-5 minutes after taking the elixir, and Lieutenant General Yang might take 3-7 minutes.” The pharmacist announced his judgment.

“Can you be more precise? The timing of the elixirs taking effect is crucial. If its too early, our sea of consciousness will be shattered by the Zerg Emperor. If its too late, then we won’t be able to get close to the Zerg Emperor in time.” Lieutenant General Lin told the pharmacist.

“The timing of the elixirs taking effect is based on each individual’s mental fluctuations, so this is as accurate as I can get.” The Pharmacist said in reply.

“Can you give me a copy of their mental energy maps, as well as the analysis of the properties of the phantom elixirs? I’ll get someone to calculate it, then maybe we can get more precise timing.” Sheng Heng suddenly opened his mouth.

“Are you going to ask Yan Hao?” Sima Ming Xuan immediately guessed the person Sheng Heng was going to look for.

Sheng Heng nodded slightly.

And the moment everyone heard that it was Yan Hao, they immediately fell silent, with Lieutenant General Lin even saying, “Master Yan Hao even has this skill? Send it to him quickly.”

It was only the pharmacist who, in the spirit of medical rigor, reminded quietly, “Master Yan Hao is a mech builder, does he understand pharmacy?”

“Yan Hao studied pharmacy before going to university, and my mental energy, as well as Sheng Zhuo’s, were both treated by him, and if I’m not mistaken, the Master Pharmacist Little Cutie that’s in the War God Legion is Yan Hao, right?” Sima Ming Xuan asked.

Yan Hao had studied pharmacy before? He was Master Pharmacist Little Cutie? This news stunned everyone present, then they all turned to look at Sheng Heng.

Sheng Heng cast a sidelong glance at Sima Ming Xuan, and although he didn’t understand why he was revealing Yan Hao’s identity at this moment, he still nodded in acknowledgment, “Yes.”

Then not hesitating anymore, the Pharmacist sent the data to Sheng Heng, who then forwarded it to Yan Hao.

Then in front of everyone, Sheng Heng called Yan Hao, however he didn’t dare elaborate on what their current situation was, only asking him to calculate the timing of the elixirs taking effect as soon as possible, the faster and more accurate, the better.

And Yan Hao, knowing the urgency of the war situation, didn’t ask any more questions, only hanging up after saying he would give him the calculation results once he was done.

Determining the pattern and timing of a medicine taking effect based on a mental energy map was something that Yan Hao, as a pharmacist, had been doing for a long time, hence the calculation didn’t take much effort, as in less than twenty minutes, he had the results.

“The onset time for Lieutenant General Lin after taking the elixir is about two minutes and fifteen seconds, with a margin of error of no more than three seconds. For Lieutenant General Yang, the onset time is three minutes and five seconds, with the same margin of error of no more than three seconds.”

This value was already many times more precise and accurate than the initial estimates.

“However, the mental states of both Lieutenant Generals aren’t suitable for taking phantom elixirs, and forcing it could backfire, so I would recommend not using it.” Yan Hao couldn’t help but add.

“I understand, I’m hanging up now.” Sheng Heng ended the call.

“Alright, we’ve got the timing down, we’re now just waiting for the masters to finish retrofitting the mechs.” Lieutenant General Lin smiled cheerfully, as he placed his bottle of phantom elixir into his arms solemnly. Lieutenant General Yang also did the same.

“Your reaction time is faster than mine, so I’ll go first.” Lieutenant General Yang told him.

“Fine, I won’t argue with you.”

Their casual tone sounded as if they were discussing who would eat first, however the bottom of the eyes of those around didn’t have laughter in them at all, only heavy sorrow and admiration.

“Let’s go, let’s go check on the retrofitting of the mechs.”

And with that, the crowd left for the mech maintenance room.
