A young man in his early twenties spotted Vlad immediately after he stepped into the facility vault, this young man was in a nano suit that was probably the manifestation of his talent as he jumped from on top of a tall piece of metal.

Clang!!

The young man made a loud sound upon landing but no one paid any attention to this since the facility vault was always filled with similar noises.

“Hey, Eric” Vlad called out in a toneless voice.

This Eric was also one of the trainees from their batch.

“What are you here for?” Eric asked with a smile, already used to Vlad’s talking style.

Vlad didn’t say anything and simply handed him the piece of paper. Eric read through it, and his eyes lit up.

“Wow, you guys are going on another mission? Do you need a mechanic to come with you? I’ve been here for months, and I’m bored,” Eric complained.

“Sure”

Eric was surprised that Vlad agreed, he jumped in excitement before saying.

“Come come, there’s a new batch of A-22G3 that we just made and ready for take out. Their functions are the best, let’s pick them!”

Vlad raised an eyebrow upon hearing Eric’s suggestions; he honestly didn’t know of any land carrier called A-22G3 and was interested since a support mechanic recommended it.

” Let’s go then”

Following Eric’s lead, they moved through the spaces where other mechanics were working and arrived in another room inside the facility vault.

In this room, Vlad saw the A-22G3 that Eric talked about. Unlike the usual land carriers that he was familiar with, these ones were different.

Having long metal legs like those of crabs instead of wheels, the A-22G3 was able to maintain a distance of five meters from the ground while depending on its metal legs for balance and movements.

It was suitable for climbing uneven terrains and mountains as well, those legs could also be controlled to attack as well!

And this one even had more space and people wouldn’t need to cramp up together inside.

” This land carrier is indeed more useful than a normal land carrier, it’s really nice to have them. Are you sure we’ll be able to take them out since they were just made?” Vlad asked. He was clearly impressed by the usefulness of the A-22G3 but he spoke casually.

” Ehh, actually. There are already a lot of them in the dreamscape, just that they aren’t used in the real world. We just assembled these after some were brought for repairs ” Eric scratched his nose in embarrassment.

Vlad only stared at him for a few seconds before turning away, he continued to inspect the A-22G3.

Its metal legs were over three meters thick and were very sturdy as well, he doubted that he would be able to damage them without at least attacking five times with all his might.

One had to know that the A-22G3 was already incredible enough to last so long against an abnormal Partial Lord Nexulyte like Vlad.

As for the cabin on top of these metal legs, looking at the size from the outside, Vlad estimated that the inside should have a space of over fifteen meters at least, which was twice the space of a normal land carrier.

“Vlad, I’ve brought everyone”

Vlad’s inspection was cut short by Jack’s voice; he turned toward the direction of the voice and saw that Jack had brought everyone else to the facility vault; there were over fifty people in total, with Vlad and Eric included.

“Ok, we’ll be taking these,” Vlad said while tapping an A-22G3 that was close to him.

“What’s that?”

“It’s like a land carrier but strange, what model is this?”

“Incredible, I’ve never seen a land carrier like this before”

Some of the people who were to go on the mission with Vlad immediately began to examine the carrier, they were unable to hide their amazement and left pleasing comments that made Eric grin with a long nose.

Of course, most of the people who let out these remarks were new Nexulytes who were either from Vlad’s batch or had never been to the dreamscape so it was natural that they had never seen a land carrier like this before.

“Eh? Isn’t this a land carrier only used for special parts of the dreamscape? Are we allowed to take it out?” A voice suddenly sounded.

Clear disapproval could be heard from the voice of this person, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Vlad’s arrangements and was opposing him.

Vlad’s eyes narrowed; those around him could feel the temperature suddenly drop to a chilling level, and they all shivered silently.

His narrowed eyes landed on the figure of a middle-aged man who looked to be in his late thirties; he had a gigantic figure with ripping muscles that stretched his uniform, a thick bushy beard, and a pair of sharp eyes with a ghastly scar running over one.

Despite this man’s fearsome appearance, he was only at the Mortal King rank. He was probably one of those people who were against Vlad being in charge of missions just because they were stronger, they believed that experience and age should be the basis for leading.

Vlad has encountered quite a few such people; they always appeared whenever he was to set out on a mission and never learned.

Seeing that Vlad was looking at him, the man didn’t shriek back and glared back at Vlad with a fearless look.

“I don’t mean to oppose you since you might be inexperienced and unaware of this, but these types of land carriers are only allowed inside the dreamscape; you should pick another one,” the man said haughtily.

” Did I ask you for an explanation?” Vlad voiced out coldly.

The man’s expression changed, seeing that Vlad was clearly pissed, this Vlad brat might be young, but he was still a Partial Lord Nexulyte.

” I was just stating a fact; I didn’t intend to offend you,” the man explained, but his tone was far from his words.

“Didn’t intend to offend me huh?” Vlad wore a wicked smirk before asking for the man’s name.

“Koblack, my name is Koblack,” the man answered.

“Koblack…I’ll remember that. As for your information, this is what we are taking” Vlad scoffed before walking away.

Eric moved over to Koblack after Vlad left.

“That was probably the worst decision you might have made,” he said to him before walking away.

The piece of paper had shown that Vlad had clearance to take any land carrier of his choice, who was this Mortal King nobody to butt in?

….

A few minutes later, at the exit of the air carrier, ten A-22G3 could be seen standing orderly and preparing to move out.

Each land carrier had five people riding in their cabins, except the one in front which was carrying seven people; the additions were Vlad and Eric.

Standing on the ground in front of the ten A-22G3s was the man who had given them a briefing on the mission earlier.

“You’ll be deployed at your starting location in a few minutes, remember to watch out for hidden dangers and keep in touch with us if you encounter anything strange!” He bellowed in a loud voice and all the Nexulytes could be seen saluting from the windows of their cabins.

The man said nothing else and walked away.

Three minutes later, the cover of the air carrier slowly rose, revealing the scene of a forest to Vlad and his team.

They had arrived!

Thwoop! Thwoop! Thwoop!

The metal legs of all the A-22G3 made robotic noises as they were controlled and began to move out of the air carrier; the air carrier had stopped twenty meters above the ground, so they had to jump.

This event once again glorified how useful an A-22G3 was, jumping such height was a piece of cake with those legs.

All ten land carriers made loud sounds upon landing on the ground, their legs dug into the ground and allowed them to withstand the impact of the jump before they started moving forward again.

“Hahahah!! This is what a land carrier should be like; cool, right!” Eric was laughing like a maniac inside the A-22G3 cabin he was in; since he was the one driving this A-22G3, his maneuvering skills were far better than the others, and he was already making their land carrier run all around the place.

“Can you stop? I’m feeling dizzy!” Jack screamed as he held onto his seatbelt to avoid crashing around inside the cabin due to Eric’s maneuver.

The other members in the cabin were also sitting tight in their seats with fearful expressions, only Vlad had an indifferent expression and wasn’t affected by Eric’s rough driving.

“Focus!”

But he couldn’t allow the whole team to suffer because he was simply unaffected, so with a single word, he made Eric stop terrorizing the rest of the team.

” Hehehe, this baby’s awesome!” Eric laughed while sensually touching the surface of the control system. His behavior was very befitting for his talent as a support mechanic, he was a machine fanatic!

” Open a communication line to the others” Vlad instructed again.

“Hai hai, captain!” Eric chuckled before opening the public communication system.

Vlad passed out his order to the rest of the team; they were to form into pairs of two and only move a distance of 200 meters in a single direction; they were to report immediately if they found anything strange…monsters not included.

“Understood!” ×9

The rest replied after receiving the command.

Vlad turned to Eric before nodding for them to start exploring too.
