The Nil Gun consumes 2400 (2160) Battlefield Contribution Points, and the infrared guidance sighting equipment consumes 2000 (1800) Battlefield Contribution Points. This weapon still cannot be taken out of this world."

"Finally, I must warn you that due to the provisions of Article XIV of the Federal Constitution, the weapon's microcomputer will automatically lock the magazine whenever you aim the muzzle at any human—note, any human. I deeply regret any malfunctions or subsequent disadvantages that may arise from this, and I hope you can understand, as RD Company is merely a resource extraction firm, absolutely not an arms dealer."

After purchasing these two items that would further enhance his combat power and survivability, Fang Senyan spent the remaining Battlefield Contribution Points entirely on ammunition—the Nil Gun consumed Titanium Penetrator Rounds, which were by no means cheap! Fortunately, Fang Senyan’s +1 Legend Status played a significant role here. Since there were dozens, if not hundreds, of people watching, Jin Kuang was simply too conspicuous. Fang Senyan did not have him emerge to haggle, lest the sight of this shameless hidden powerhouse cause him to lose the greater advantage.

Next, Fang Senyan communicated with Jiao Shi and Mogansa in the team channel. It didn't take long for Fang Senyan to speak before the complexions of Jiao Shi and Mogansa shifted dramatically, eventually turning ashen. They immediately rushed off to spend every last Battlefield Contribution Point they possessed!!!!

Because their intense discussion and exchange occurred within the team channel, the others merely noticed their poor expressions. However, many of the contractors present had seen teammates fall in battle, and many wore grim faces already. Honestly, if Jiao Shi and Mogansa had been grinning from ear to ear, that would have drawn attention.

It was worth noting that even though the two waves of the beast tide later that day had yielded four more Legendary Creatures, only three of them dropped keys. One of those keys resulted in a direct "Universal Point Explosion"—a scenario Fang Senyan had encountered before, where nothing materialized except a vast quantity of Universal Points. The other two silver keys yielded three relatively valuable items: a silver-quality ring, a black-quality bone bow, and an Artifact Soul.

These three items were relatively oriented toward magic and ranged combat. Mogansa already possessed excellent gear, whether it was his gold-tier items or that Spartan spear, so he naturally looked down on the black-quality bone bow. Consequently, these items were not highly needed by the Ace team. After the profit sharing, the team treasury surged to fifty-three thousand Universal Points and fifteen Potential Points.

Once Mogansa had also completely depleted his Battlefield Contribution Points, his expression changed again, and he quietly messaged Fang Senyan in the team channel:

"Boss, one of those resurrection items—the Unmodified Amniotic Fluid Tank—has been sold."

Fang Senyan was slowly sipping water from a cup when he heard the news. His fingers tightened involuntarily, and the glass cup emitted a distinct grinding sound, displaying several clear cracks—precisely because Fang Senyan himself possessed 8,000 Battlefield Contribution Points, he understood the terrifying strength required to earn those full twenty thousand points in such a short time!

"Truly, there is always a higher peak beyond the mountain," Fang Senyan mused internally. He had previously believed that the iron triangle team he had formed was practically invincible, but now it seemed his judgment had been skewed.

For some inexplicable reason, upon hearing that the resurrection item—the Unmodified Amniotic Fluid Tank—had been sold, Fang Senyan’s first thought turned to that contractor from the South District who had carried a rifle and blown off the head of the Spotted Bull with a single shot! Only then did he consider the core members of the Illuminati. But immediately after, another bold thought surfaced in Fang Senyan’s mind:

"The purchaser of this item... could it be them as well...?"

Soon, the news of the most expensive limited-edition resurrection item being sold spread. Like ripples from a stone dropped into water, the news reached everyone's ears in a short time. A current of undercurrents surged; almost all the contractors began glaring fiercely at the sky, as if willing it to light up sooner so the next wave of the beast tide would arrive.

The next day, Morning, 9:18 AM.

The contractors once again repelled two full waves of the beast tide. The frenzied desire sparked by the incredibly valuable items had gradually subsided.

It was unclear where so many beasts originated. Even though the contractors cleaned the battlefield meticulously after every fight, leaving not a trace of blood, the indescribably numerous beasts returned with the next assault!!

They seemed blown in by a gale, dropped like hail from dark clouds, sprouted inch by inch from the earth like a thorny vine, or perhaps marched step-by-step from the horizon!!

Compared to the other contractors, Fang Senyan and Jiao Shi remained extremely low-key. Fang Senyan even refrained from actively throwing potions to earn extra Battlefield Contribution Points, silently performing only his required duties and never vying for credit. Because of this, their status had even dropped somewhat—though this was perfectly normal; the greater your contribution, the greater your influence.

It was worth mentioning that this time, Tier Three Legendary Creatures began to appear. They no longer fought to the death; instead, they showed an awareness of retreat. Consequently, after repelling these two waves of the beast tide, the casualties among the contractors in the West Sector had already exceeded half, and the survivors were all wounded, having gained little benefit! Although they were unaware of the situation in the other three sectors, it was likely similar.

Just as Fang Senyan signaled Jiao Shi, preparing to enact their prior plan, a sporadic cheer rose from the remaining contractors. Immediately afterward, a massive vibration echoed from the ship passage behind them, as if a heavy beast were about to emerge.

However, what stepped out of the passage, step by step, was not a beast,

but a monster born from the fusion of human intellect and steel! A terrifying weapon forged solely for war!

Finally, one contractor could no longer hold back. Though he was only about a thousand points short of twenty thousand Battlefield Contribution Points, he was utterly spent. He immediately exchanged for the M Exoskeleton System! Piloting this super-era mechanical beast, he arrived on the battlefield!!

The one who exchanged for this machine was the woman holding a longbow from the Children of Kadang. She cast a disdainful glance toward Fang Senyan and his group before completely supplanting Jiao Shi and Fang Senyan's core position, commencing a frenzied slaughter against the third wave of the beast tide.

Following her lead, more and more contractors actively exchanged for M Exoskeleton Systems. They discovered with alarm that the intensity of the beast tide's attacks was growing stronger, and their numbers were staggering. In yesterday's attack, the flying Manta Ray Wyverns had only appeared once, but today they had become the main force, forming a truly terrifying three-dimensional assault pattern when combined with the devilish creatures running on the ground.

Anyone still clinging to the goal of saving Battlefield Contribution Points until 20,000 had only one fate: death! The overwhelming tide of Manta Ray Wyverns could bypass any obstacle and strike anyone directly. However, relative to Fang Senyan's group, the three of them had all purchased Hydrus Protection Layers, and the resulting 30% damage reduction proved critically effective. Even Mogansa appeared quite composed under the protection of Fang Senyan and Jiao Shi.

The third wave of the beast tide was finally beaten back.

Simultaneously, the controllers on the ship broadcasted a message loudly:

"Attention, attention! The next wave of the beast tide will be the final attack wave for today!"

This news undoubtedly acted as a powerful tonic for all the contractors. They looked at the magnificent M Exoskeleton Systems standing beside them—these steel monsters were truly machines of slaughter. They immediately forgot their physical pains and were filled with boundless confidence. Thus, after briefly bandaging and organizing their injuries, they took up advantageous positions, ready to begin the next battle anew!

Because these steel behemoths had completely replaced Jiao Shi's role, when the fourth wave of the beast tide struck, absolutely no one noticed that the three individuals—Fang Senyan, Jiao Shi, and Mogansa—had disappeared from the formation. Of course, they did not rashly plunge into the beautiful, dangerous, and unfamiliar jungle nearby; instead, they followed the passageway deep into the transport ship.

Within the steel corridors, there was a cold silence, echoed only by the sound of footsteps.

The blinking directional lights shone faintly and deeply, seemingly trying to conceal some ugliness within the darkness.

By now, only one member of RD Company remained at the core of the transport ship. He still bowed politely:

"Sir, how may I be of service to you?"

Fang Senyan stepped before him and smiled:

"Yes."

Then, with Jin Kuang's assistance, the three of them completely exhausted their already meager Battlefield Contribution Points. While purchasing battlefield gear was impossible, stocking up on supplies, ammunition, tents, and other items was more than sufficient.

Fang Senyan paused and then purchased a coil of high explosive—though powerful, this item caused indiscriminate area damage to friend and foe alike, and any beast struck by it would not yield a key, so the contractors generally disliked it and purchased very little.
