In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...

Chapter 198
The moment the two red and white mechas disappeared, the expressions of the six mechas of the Gaia team changed drastically. Captain Gaia's control cannon smashed into the empty snow. He quickly flew to the snow, but there was no invisible trick on the spot. All the pollutants they attracted with pheromones were gone.
"It's not invisibility... it's displacement." Captain Gaia's eyes fell on the distance, and his expression changed slightly: "They came here at a good time!"
Captain Gaia couldn't help but swear.
There is no restriction on who can complete the mission. Team Gaia has carried out Star Alliance missions so many times, but this is the first time they have encountered someone snatching the mission so blatantly in front of them. What is going on? !
At the same time, in the snowfield inside the Slared Snow Mountain area.
The spatial displacement carried KID's two mechas to the back of the mountain farther away from Gaia's team. At this time, a huge deep pit had appeared on the wide snow field. The pit was filled with polluted corpses, and directly above the pit was a large khaki space. ④This ④work④is④made④by
Ying Chenlin and Huo Yan descended from the sky with a group of snow wolves and immediately fell on the polluted corpse.
“Are you here!?”
"Oh my god, what a bunch of wolves!"
As soon as Huo Yan landed, he shouted, "Captain Ke, control it."
Lin Yao ran over excitedly and erected a consolidated space again, "Wow, it looks like it's really fat this time."
As soon as the pollutants appeared, Colin, who was in the YDS Guard Mecha at a high altitude, immediately activated the conductive chain ball to control all the pollutants in the deep pit. Lin Yao next to him expanded the space to a certain position according to the time to prevent other pollutants that were not within the control range from escaping.
A group of wolves smashed into the deep pit, and artillery fire from high above fell in response. Wen Yiyousuo and Hu Luobu's three gun mechas and Chi Liz who were carrying long-range weapons were guarding the four directions together. The control mecha Luxi enhanced cannon was ready to support at the side at any time. The powerful firepower wiped out the gathered pollutants.
After Lin Yao opened the space, he said, "Old Zhao, please get out of the way!"
In the efficient control and output process, a tank mecha with the protective shield opened to the maximum is parked in the center of the pollutants. The blue mecha is located in the center of the protective shield. The tank mecha operator squatting in the center looks ashen. When he looks up, he sees the sudden increase of snow wolf pollutants around him.
"Get out of here!" Zhao Lejie heard the voice and shouted from the pit.
Huo Yan shouted, "Old Zhao, to the left."
Zhao Lejie's thrusters moved to the right, and he had to move to the side to avoid the pollutants. He thought many times about how he would play a major output role, and it turned out that the main output role was to open the protective shield in the center to act as bait, and lead all the gathered pollutants in his direction, so as to maximize the output efficiency of his teammates in the sky.
The teammates' artillery fire suddenly hit him. Zhao Lejie could only withstand the attack of pollutants while avoiding his teammates. "Where did you get this wolf? It's so fierce!"
"It would be great if you could stay in there!" Lin Yao opened up the space and immediately began to process the materials: "I'm so busy that I can't handle all the materials."
Zhao Lejie: “…”
This blessing can be given to whoever wants it!
There was artillery fire from teammates on high ground, and spider silk was everywhere on the ground. Colin was in charge of mine control, Lin Yao was in charge of circling monsters and picking up corpses at the same time, and the processed pollutants and corpses were thrown out of the pit, and finally all entered the mecha storage warehouse. This was a whole fucking assembly line workflow.
He is the only one who stays in the pit, doing his shitty output mission. His mission is to get beaten.
When Colin was controlling the pollutants, he noticed the different levels of pollutants. "Is this pollutant A...?"
Ying Chenlin explained: "This is for 35 points, so grab it if you can."
They had arrived at the location first and were considering how to deal with the wolves when they met another team that was also doing the same task. They had almost completed all the tasks nearby. Ying Chenlin observed for a while and saw an opportunity to grab them, so he took back all the snow wolves.
Qi Sicheng's voice came over the communication channel: "It was stolen from the Gaia team. We have to avoid people and leave."
Hulubu looked at the rankings. "Gaia is ranked 35th."
Zhao Lejie: “A???”
"Don't worry, you can handle this." Ying Chenlin said.
Hulubu: "...Now
Is it time to grab the strong team? ”
Ying Chenlin asked in confusion: "They can all seize territory, so why can't we?"
There is no restriction on the executors of the Star Alliance's special missions. Whoever clears the pollutants will get the mission completion points.
Strong teams can occupy territory and grab monsters, and using weapons to move and grab monsters is also a strategy.
The entire contaminated area is so small, and the competition is about who accumulates more points by completing the task.
Huo Yan laughed twice, "We were originally planning to go to the side and get a low-level one, but when we passed by, we saw this one, and Shen Lin said it was a bit more expensive, so we chose this one."
Ji Qingfeng: "It must be expensive. You do the same job, but you don't get paid more."
Hu Luobu looked into the pit and it seemed that the things they robbed were expensive.
And they came to the snow mountains in the first place because the pollutants here are expensive!
The two commanders Wen Yi and Ke Lin were silent. One was delivering artillery fire, and the other was controlling it.
When Ying Chenlin suggested using the old method to improve efficiency, they didn't react at first what the method was. As a result, Ying Chenlin asked them to divide into four teams of two to gather together the pollutants described in the surrounding low-level clearing missions.
After they are lured together, Ying Chenlin will move once every 5 minutes. He will gather all the attracted pollutants together through displacement and concentrate all people's attack capabilities to improve the efficiency of elimination. With the superposition of waves of low-level pollutants, the output combat power around them also gathers, and finally it becomes the processing process in front of us. Some people act as bait, some people control monsters, and the rest are all output, and the cleaning speed is getting faster and faster.
Qi Sicheng, who had a speed shifter, took Ji Qingfeng to search for pollutants at the fastest speed. Huo Yan was in a mobile position, and Ying Chenlin moved back and forth every 10 minutes, just keeping up with their processing speed and maximizing the processing efficiency.
Before working with KID, they never thought that Star Alliance missions could be done in this way.
Ying Chenlin's actions reminded them of the time when they were in Kolya. This space displacement allowed them to snatch GBK's S-level pollutants. However, it was pollutants at that time, but now it has become Ying Chenlin's weapon.
The Star Alliance mission is based on the concept of competition where the strong are supreme. Weak teams can only be squeezed into low-score missions, while strong teams can occupy their own territory and ignore everyone else to do high-score missions.
Black Crow and YDS used to be rivals of KID, and they had anticipated their unconventional behavior.
But once they joined in this unconventional rhythm, Wen Yi and Ke Lin had to admit that it was brutal and efficient.
Wen Yi readjusted his fire, and when he looked down he saw Ying Chenlin assisting Lin Yao in processing the materials. The other party didn't seem to be afraid at all, and instead of being wary of strong teams, his code of conduct was more direct.
It is exactly in line with the efficiency statement that Ying Chenlin put forward at the beginning, the greatest efficiency.
"I'll leave this batch to you first." Ying Chenlin finished charging his weapon and was looking at Qi Sicheng's position. "We have to speed up. After we finish dealing with this one, we need to move to another area."

The logistics team of the Gaia team numbered 016 from the Donno galaxy in the third star field is observing the terrain changes in the snow mountain area. For the Donno galaxy team, they have much more intelligence about the Slared contaminated area than other teams. There are few teams coming from areas like the snow mountains, but for them, such areas are more conducive to them getting high points.
The Gaia Logistics Regiment was originally analyzing the combat situation of other powerful teams in the Snow Mountain. When the Gaia team approached the coordinates of the Snow Wolf mission, they had already noticed two mechas near the Snow Wolf mission. They didn't take such an unknown small team seriously at all. Who knew that after a while, the two mechas not only cut into the position of the Gaia team, but also disappeared out of thin air on the spot.
When it was displayed again, there was a snowy plain 10 kilometers away from the Gaia team's location.
"Which galaxy is this KID's team from?"
"It seems to be from the Dawn Galaxy in the First Star Region. Five teams from the First Star Region are participating in this battle. They are ranked last and this is their first time participating."
"There are two other signals belonging to their team's mecha nearby, but these two have already gone to other locations."
Coach Gaia frowned slightly, "Spatial displacement? What's the point of them doing this?"
"What's strange is that their large group has stayed in this place for a long time!" The staff member continued, "But their ranking has been rising."
Even if you stay where you are, your ranking can still continue to rise! ?
How is this done! ?
Coach Gaia immediately called up the Star Alliance missions that KID's team had completed so far, and saw that all they had done in the past few hours were low-level tasks worth 1-20 points, and they had completed a large number of them, even completing two low-point tasks within 3 minutes.
As a frequent participant in Covenant missions, the Gaia team is well aware of how tedious low-score missions are.
After reading this, Coach Gaia looked at the ranking of the KID team and found that they had climbed to 45th place.
But this unknown small team actually climbed to the 45th place in such a short time by completing low-scoring tasks.
"Something is wrong. We need to quickly find out what's going on with this team—" Coach Gaia hadn't finished his words when he saw that the coordinates of most of KID's mechas on the field had not changed, but KID's latest completed task list had popped up an incredible task completion message.
[Slared Snow Wolf □□[Completed], Execution Team No. 125[KID]]
The Snow Wolf mission they planned was completed by KID, and it was completed at a location outside the mission coordinate range.
Coach Gaia's expression changed slightly: "How is that possible?"
At the same time, the SHIELD base, which was also observing KID, also noticed something strange.
The SHIELD coach looked at the coordinates within the snowy mountain range and said, "Sort out the coordinates of where KID completed the mission, as well as their movement tracks over the past few hours.
Soon, the staff compiled the corresponding trajectory map.
At this glance, everyone realized that the tasks completed by KID were distributed over a wide range, but their position was almost fixed on the snowfield. The only things that changed were a few coordinates. The mechas of the three-person team were looking out for the task coordinates, and each stay would not exceed 7 minutes.
"One team is looking for missions, and the other team is doing the missions." The SHIELD coach's eyes fell on the coordinates of the medical mecha with the ID of sink. He knew that sink had a spatial displacement weapon, but he didn't expect that this weapon could play such a big role. "They are gathering all the clearing missions together to kill them."
The number of tasks with less than 40 points in the snow mountain area is rapidly decreasing. The task points ranking list is the common target of all teams. A team that is steadily moving forward and is unfamiliar appears at the front of the ranking list. Many strong teams have noticed this team.
"KID?"
"I have some impression. I remember Norbert greeted them."
"This is rising very fast, a snowy mountain area?"
“Isn’t this team simple?”
At this moment, in another place in the Slared contaminated area.
The gray-green mecha group had just finished dealing with an S-class pollutant. The man put the entire S-class pollutant into the storage warehouse. The mission points ranking was displayed on the cockpit's field of view screen. He did not lock on the front row points position, but focused on KID's ranking. In 15 minutes, KID moved up one place.
The communication channel was silent, and everyone was waiting for the man's instructions.
The man's attitude was very cold, but his eyes lingered on the KID ranking for a long time: "SLY is over there in the snowy mountains?"
The fellow mecha master said, "Yes."
The man pointed at the ranking position thoughtfully, then closed the ranking list with a meaningful look in his eyes.
-
When other strong teams noticed KID, Ying Chenlin had already used spatial displacement to lead several waves of monsters, stabilizing their team's ranking within 40. At this moment, he had just brought the pollutants here, and Lin Yao, who was responsible for dealing with the pollutants, happened to deal with the body of the snow wolf.
"Chen Lin, what should we do with these wolves?" Lin Yao asked.
Ying Chenlin looked towards Lin Yao's position, and the information about the snow wolf he had read not long ago flashed through his mind. After analyzing it, he said, "The wolf's fangs and claws can be kept, and the rough part of the wolf's skin can be kept. The other things are unnecessary."
Huluobu asked: "Why is it not necessary?"
Ying Chenlin explained: "Other materials can be found in the Shuguang market, and the price cannot be raised."
Hu Luobu: "...You know all this?"
Ji Qingfeng said: "Well, I can tell from the first glance that you are not businessmen."
Zhao Lejie started to have a headache as soon as he heard Ji Qingfeng's words: "Find your pollutants carefully!"
"What are you doing? We'll share the profits later. I'll give you more!" Ji Qingfeng said as he flew, "This snowy mountain looks desolate, but these pollutants are not found outside. Take more back."
Zhao Lejie: “…”
If it weren't for the points, he would have rushed out to compete with Ji Qingfeng.
Qi Sicheng's speed increaser and Ji Qingfeng worked together to find pollutants very quickly. Ying Chenlin glanced at the coordinates on the map. While waiting for the space-displacement weapon to charge, he checked and observed the task list. While they were carrying out the mission, the strong team was faster than them... As the tasks around them gradually decreased, Ying Chenlin discovered some strange layering on the map.
He remembered that the initial information stated that Slarede was out of control because of the border pollution zone, but even so, there were too many pollutants in this area. The low-score missions were all about group pollutants, with levels ranging from BS. They hadn't done the S-level pollutant missions yet... Even so, the pollutants in this area were a bit out of the ordinary.
The information states that it has only been 10 years since the Slarede contaminated area got out of control. How could a high-risk contaminated area get out of control to the current state in 10 years?
"You're slow, what are you thinking about?"
In the channel, there was a private chat message mixed in with the lively discussions of others.
Ying Chenlin came back to his senses when he heard the voice. He glanced at the private chat channel that was lit up in the voice communication list. It was You Su's voice.
He raised his head slightly and found that You Su's mecha had flown right above him at some point.
In order to facilitate team formation and communication at any time, all mecha operators' permissions in the channel are turned on.
Ying Chenlin felt like he was being discovered for being lazy, so how did You Su know that he was slow?
Noticing the silence, You Su seemed to know what Ying Chenlin was thinking, "The speed of processing the minions was 0.5 seconds slower."
Ying Chenlin did not hide his doubts, "I think there are a lot of pollutants in this polluted area."
As soon as he said this, he realized that he forgot to switch channels, and the other teammates all paid attention to him because of his words.
"Ah? What did Shen Lin just say?"
“There are indeed a lot of pollutants, and a lot of expensive ones.”
Zhao Lejie looked at the pile of corpses around him and asked, "How could there not be more?"
"If the contaminated area is out of control, it's normal for the pollutants to increase." Wen Yi heard Ying Chenlin's doubts and explained, "The Alliance set up the Management Bureau to control the expansion of the contaminated area. The Slarede contaminated area was abandoned a long time ago, and with the large amount of S-level pollutants, it was finally included in the Star Alliance mission."
Ying Chenlin shared his puzzled information in the channel, "Normally, there should be a growth range? The out-of-control time is about 10 years. Is 10 years enough time to recover to this level?"
This scale is almost catching up with that of the Qiujin black hole period. But the reason why Qiujin had so many pollutants was because of the black hole. But what is the reason for the Slarede contaminated area?
The number of pollutants that came over was limited, and the border troops must have used heavy weapons to suppress it. However, when performing the mission, Ying Chenlin moved through a large area and did not find any signs of heavy weapons destroying the polluted area. On the contrary, the entire snow mountain area was also protected.
That’s great.
It is like a natural petri dish, allowing a large number of mutated animals and plants to grow wildly.
Qi Sicheng continued, "The Star Alliance's testing will be more complete regarding our doubts. Perhaps it is precisely because of this strange situation that Slared was included in the scope of treatment."
The Covenant did not provide this information, and it was not something their mecha divisions should consider.
A normal pollution zone is not possible, but an out-of-control pollution zone is indeed possible.
"These plants grow very fast. They are eaten by so many pollutants, but they can still grow so fast." Lin Yao dug out a mutant plant that was pressed by pollutants in the pit. "Chen Lin, you said that the growth period of this pollutant is 5 years, right?"
KID is very interested in various materials in the contaminated area. Lin Yao often hears Ying Chenlin say that he more or less remembers the growth cycle of certain materials.
"Don't plants grow very fast?" Hu Luobu heard Huo Yan say this and continued, "I remember that plants and animals grow very fast in the mutant environment."
"That's definitely different." Ji Qingfeng agreed, "If all plants grow very fast, all materials on the market will become cheaper."
When Lin Yao said this, Qi Sicheng frowned slightly: "Xiao Zhao, check how many types of pollutants are in it."
When Zhao Lejie was called, he immediately started to check: "There are so many bodies, how can I see them all!"
Wen Yi and Ke Lin quickly walked over to check the situation, and this inspection revealed many details that they had not noticed.
They have completed a lot of low-level tasks so far, and there are many types of corpses piled up in the pit. At first glance, they are all pollutants that no one cares about. But KID is very good at choosing pollutants. He chooses pollutants with a certain market value... and these pollutants have one thing in common -
Expensive, rare, and slow to reproduce.
Hu Luobu noticed that the expressions of everyone around him became serious. "Is there any problem? It's normal for something to happen in an out-of-control contaminated area, right?"
Ten years of uncontrolled variation can lead to some abnormal growth, but further growth should also be within a calculable range.
"The plants and animals are growing too fast." Colin said, "According to the out-of-control curve, the growth rate here is almost 1.5 times that of the out-of-control curve. Don't forget, this area is the Snow Mountain. The mutant plants and animals in the Snow Mountain are naturally less than in other areas, but the Snow Mountain is one of the areas with the widest coverage."
Ying Chenlin suddenly remembered the task that he noticed at the beginning that did not indicate the points. The current situation seemed to be extremely similar to the details of that task. Why?
While everyone was still thinking about the reason, You Su, who was flying high in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
Something seemed to suddenly pass through the snow-capped mountains. At this moment, he suddenly switched the sniper cannon in his hand to an energy cannon. The special steel energy cannon formed by steel wings quickly accumulated power in his hand, and the next second it blasted into the air with a buzz.
A roar exploded in his ears. Ying Chenlin looked up and saw You Su putting away the energy cannon. "What happened?"
You Su pulled away and said, "There's something nearby."
There was a vast expanse of white all around, and there was no signal on the radar. At this moment, You Su's energy cannon switched again and blasted towards a certain location. Everyone subconsciously flew higher.
It wasn't snowing, but before they knew it, their visibility had been reduced to 20 meters.
They couldn't see it, but they could hear rustling sounds in the quiet atmosphere, as if something was stepping on the snow and approaching them.
At this time, something came into their sight.
Seeing this, all the mecha pilots immediately pressed the thrusters to the maximum and flew high up.
In the snow, the mecha pilot flying high in the sky couldn't even see the situation in the snow. The radar didn't respond, and all that was left were pairs of red eyes.
The eyes became more and more dense, layer upon layer, surrounding the entire pit completely.
"Why aren't you talking?" Zhao Lejie had just finished counting the pollutants and noticed the silence around him. He looked up and saw that his teammates had flown high, leaving him alone in the pit. Before he could ask what was happening, he suddenly saw a large amount of dense pollutants surrounding him outside the pit.
Zhao Lejie: “?”
"Fuck! You guys left me behind when you ran away!!!"
