NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1601: Secret Maneuvers
Under Su Yu's command, Number 3 struck first!
Every weapon on Number 3's body was activated: ray weapons, particle weapons, anti-matter energy cannons...
Every weapon that could be activated was unleashed, launching an attack on the invading Intelligent Machines.
Meanwhile, Su Yu's primary body deployed several [Space Cuts], dividing the battlefield.
However, these attacks were all a smokescreen.
As soon as Number 3 unleashed its firepower, it swiftly retreated into the Space Channel, its massive form diving into the channel entrance.
Su Yu did the same as Number 3, darting into the Space Channel at a flash.
Yet this "Su Yu" was not the real Su Yu.
Earlier, Number 3's full-scale assault, with light and shadow produced by ray weapons, blinded all the Intelligent Machines.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yu quickly activated the Invisibility Skill and simultaneously released his Clone.
Holy Song also promptly applied a top-level Data Shield to Su Yu's primary body.
Invisibility + top-level Data Shield, plus the blinding lights created by Number 3's full assault, prevented the Intelligent Machines from detecting Su Yu's main body, nor did they notice that the Su Yu in front of them had already been replaced by a Clone.
Afterward, Su Yu maneuvered the Clone and Number 3 quickly into the Space Channel, leaving the main body behind.
Because the top-level Data Shield + Invisibility meant the Intelligent Machines couldn't detect Su Yu's main body.
They thought all enemies had already fled into the Space Channel, so they slowed down their flight speed.
"Holy Song, it seems we've deceived them." In the sea of consciousness, Su Yu communicated with Holy Song using spiritual power.
"Of course," Holy Song replied, "These Low Tier Intelligent Machines can't break through my Data Shield."
Su Yu asked, "So I can start the next step now, right?"
Holy Song replied, "Of course, but you must be quick. These Intelligent Machines will likely forcibly dismantle the Space Channel, so you must return before they finish."
"Understood! How much time do I have?"
"At most one hour, you must enter the Space Channel within that hour."
"One hour? That's enough!"
Su Yu repeatedly flashed, advancing from the side of the battlefield toward the Intelligent Mechanical Planet ahead.
...
The reason Holy Song had Su Yu do this, of course, was to reap some benefits.
And these benefits are quite tempting; if handled properly, Su Yu could make a huge profit!
Half an hour later, Su Yu traveled through over 1,000 meters of planetary crust, reaching a secret large warehouse deep underground.
Directly above this large warehouse on the surface is an Intelligent Machine manufacturing plant, and it's the largest and most advanced on this planet.
This manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce Planet-level Intelligent Machines.
Several of the Planet-level Intelligent Machines fighting on the front lines were made in this plant.
As for this secret large warehouse deep underground, it mainly stores materials for creating top-level Intelligent Machines.
The most valuable among them is—the Starburst Stone!
This warehouse contains dozens of materials, each extremely precious.
However, though these materials are valuable, they have little use for Su Yu.
Currently, with the technology Holy Song controls, he can't manufacture Planet-level Intelligent Machines, so even if he takes the materials, they're likely to just sit unused in a warehouse.
But the Starburst Stone is different!
This material is hard currency in the Holy Silver Federation.
In the Holy Silver Federation, a Starburst Stone cube with a side length of 13.4 cm is noted as "one unit."
One unit of Starburst Stone is worth one hundred million Holy Silver Coins and can be exchanged equivalently at major banks.
The Energy Core of Number 3 is a Starburst Stone cube with a side length of 221 cm, about 4500 units, with a total value around 450 billion Holy Silver Coins.
This warehouse holds quite a few Starburst Stones.
As long as he takes the Starburst Stones, he'll be able to earn a considerable fortune!
