Tempest of the Battlefield

Chapter 511: Steal A Talent

"The mastery's advantage is in its area of effect, but it falls short in dealing with a single target. The fight against Nihlathak was a close call, and if I were to fight him again, I would not prevail."

"You nailed it! What gives mastery its advantage is its ability to borrow power from nature. However, unlike the GN force, the natural force is almost impossible to be compressed in order to concentrate its effects. I wager that you should be able to find a solution to this problem by modifying the fire spear and firedrake spells. The simpler the mastery spells, the easier it is to manipulate and improve." Wang Tong remarked.

Curiosity flashed in Guan Dongyang's eyes as he asked, "Do you mean to layer those spells with each other to compound the damage output?"

"That's a good start. Fire elements are the easiest to stack. However, the difficulty would be in the timing."

Guan Dongyang mauled over Wang Tong's words; he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that the latter had left the room.

When Hans from Blizzard saw the brand new heavy METAL, he was stunned and could not speak for a few minutes. He was not a METAL warrior, so he was not sure if these METAL suits were as powerful as they looked. He turned to the person standing right beside him; the Blizzard's lieutenant, a METAL soldier called Roseau. Roseau was not at all impressed by what he saw.

Roseau glanced at Wang Tong and then piped up, "Captain Tong, these METAL suits look nice, but no way would they be worth the amount you have asked for. Blizzard won't agree with your offer, not if I am still the lieutenant."

Hans' eyes shifted between Roseau and Wang Tong, and he was not sure what to do. These METAL suits looked nice to him, but Lieutenant Roseau would surely know more about METAL suits than him.

Seeing that Wang Tong had kept his silence, Ross furrowed his brows and said, "Lieutenant Roseau, you can try it for yourself."

"These are standard units, and I have seen many of them. There is no point in testing them. "

"Hehe… Roseau, since we are here, we might as well send someone to test it out." Hans knew it was about time for him to play the good cop.

"Mao Jin, try it out."

"Roger that!"

The METAL warrior called Mao Jin climbed gingerly into the heavy METAL. With a blare of the engine, he started the METAL.

Heavy METAL warrior was a very specialized profession. The operator not only needed to maneuver the heavy machine on difficult terrains to avoid the Zergs' attacks, but also angle the shots to inflict maximum damage to the target.

Roseau watched attentively while listening to the machine's whir at different pitches. He could tell that these heavy METAL suits were of high quality; however, he was still convinced that Wang Tong's asking price was outrageous.

The young soldier Mao Jin wanted to show off his heavy METAL skill in front of everyone, so he attempted to execute a pirouette while he jumped into the air. When Mao Jin landed on the ground, he suddenly lost balance and tripped over himself.

Everyone watched the heavy machine fall to the ground, kicking up a plume of dust.

Everyone from the Battle Wolf was taken it back by the dramatic fall. Was there anything wrong with the METAL? Hans also cast a suspicious glance at Wang Tong.

Mao Jin scrambled out of the fallen suit and immediately ranted, "What a piece of sh*t! If I were in a real war, I would have been dead! This is a suicide machine!"

A swell of angry murmurs rose from the Blizzard soldiers. Despite the brand-new look of these METAL suits, there was nothing good about them.

Although Hans maintained his composure, he turned to Wang Tong and asked with an accusatory tone, "Captain Tong, I thought we were friends. Why do you want to blackmail me with this faulty equipment?" Han asked with a fake smile.

Feeling embarrassed, the soldiers of Battle Wolf looked to Wang Tong for an answer.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, "Sorry Hans, but you are wrong. That wasn't blackmailing; instead, that price already came with a discount for our friendship."

Wang Tong turned around and walked to the fallen heavy METAL. He climbed into the steel husk and activated the machine.

After a few clatters, the arms of the METAL suit turned into two supercharge cannons. Suddenly, the giant machine picked up speed as it spun to the left in a half pirouette. Before its outer leg landed back on the ground, it leaped into the air, finished a full spin, and then fired the cannons.

"KOM!"

The strike landed squarely at a raised ground on a hill.

Wang Tong didn't stop, as he repeated the same actions and then fired the cannons a couple of times, all the shots landing at the exact same spot.

After the final spin in the air, Wang Tong let the weight of the METAL sink in as he bent his knees as if recoiling a spring. When the spring was fully loaded, Wang Tong launched himself high up into the air and landed back to the ground with the gracefulness of a cat.

The control chamber opened up, and Wang Tong climbed out of it.

Stunned by Wang Tong's performance, the audiences could only stare dumbfoundedly.

Seeing Wang Tong walk right in front of him, Hans swallowed and tried to gather himself. Wang Tong's movements had put tremendous strain on the METAL suit, so much so that if these suits were just ordinary in quality, they would have already fallen apart.

However, Hans conceded that it would be up to Roseau, the METAL expert, to give the verdict.

Roseau licked his parched lips and then asked with a trembling voice, "Every set is the same quality as this one?"

"You bet." Wang Tong said with a broad smile.

"Deal, it's a deal! Hans, let's buy them. We will buy as many as they have. "Roseau's voice trembled. He reckoned that these heavy METAL were above level E; they were super heavy METAL! Jin Mao had slipped up because he was not used to METAL of such high quality.

"Hehe… Lieutenant Hans, shall we talk about the details in the meeting room?"

"Haha! Of course! After you, Captain Tong."

Soldiers of the Battle Wolf cheered at this turn of events.

"Do you think if there is anything that our Captain cannot do?"

"There has to be one. Ah-ha! I bet he doesn't know how to have a baby… Haha!"

"Haha… Touché! But, I just can't think of anything else!"

"Balls! Do you think our price is too low?"

Jin Mao heard the Battle Wolf's banter and frowned ruefully. He regretted not paying attention to how differently these heavy METAL were handled; otherwise, he would have never taken this high-grade equipment as junk.

Nevertheless, the quality of these heavy METAL had become apparent. The price Wang Tong asked for was lower than even the same number of E class heavy METAL suits.

After Hans followed Wang Tong to the meeting room, they sat down by a table.

"Hehe… I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. I will understand if you would like to offer us a new price, considering the exceptional quality of the goods." Hans said with a smile.

"Hehe… I told you that I would give you a discount based on our friendship. We are still friends, aren't we?"

"Really?" Hans was pleasantly surprised by Wang Tong's goodwill.

"Really! However, you know that Battle Wolf is facing some financial difficulty. So, it would be great if you could offer us some support."
