novel520 Chapter 423: Agreed!
Chapter 423: Agreed!
"Well then, that's settled, Hans."
A peculiar smile curled at the corner of Loren's lips.
Those robot gentlemen had all reached Legendary level already? Interesting...
"By the way, what was it you wanted to ask me earlier? Maybe I could give you some advice."
Upon hearing this.
Hans, who was deep underground in a tech research institute far beyond the Main City of the Radiant Flow Star Domain, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He silently picked up an invitation lying beside his hand, tore the elegant piece of paper in half, and tossed it straight into the trash bin at his feet...
"It's nothing now, Mr. Loren."
"I've already... figured it out just now..."
As Hans spoke calmly, he cast a pained glance at the invitation in the trash bin by his feet...On that invitation, torn in half and discarded, was a passage that read:
"To the esteemed 'Mechanical Genius' — Lord Hans."
"In light of your renowned reputation across the Radiant Flow Star Domain and the extraordinary strength you have recently displayed."
"The Supreme Federation cordially invites you to join our ranks."
"We sincerely invite you to serve as — Special Commander of the Supreme Federation's Mechanized Rapid Response Force."
"All your benefits will be set to the highest standards within the Supreme Federation. (All conditions are negotiable!)"
"May the torch that illuminates Human Civilization shine all the brighter for the brilliance you contribute!"
"We look forward to your arrival!!!"
"Signed: Supreme Federation Military Department General and Commander-in-Chief — Charles Fitt."
An invitation like this, coming from the upper echelons of the Resistance, was not something easily obtained...
Clearly, this former Repairman had brought his repaired robots out from deep beneath the trash heaps and stepped onto the grand stage of the Radiant Flow Star Domain, leaving quite an impression...
Enough to have him personally receive a special conscription invitation from the Resistance.
"Oh, you've already figured it out? What a shame, I thought I might be able to help you..."
Loren's tone carried a hint of regret.
He was sure that giving Mr. Hans that revolver had been the best investment he'd ever made...
In fact, he was even considering increasing his investment.
In the Star Realm these days, interesting, talented individuals who grew so quickly were few and far between...

Federal Calendar 7709, January 2nd, afternoon.
Floating high in the sky, Loren ended the long-distance communication.
At the same moment, Miss Silver Dragon, who had just finished neatly packing away the grounded Mecha, flashed back to Loren's side.
"Mr. Loren, before I go deliver the goods."
"Could you first explain to me what you meant by 'his robot companions have all reached Legendary level'???"
"A guy that dangerous, meeting a curvaceous dragon like me — am I going to end up as a dragon robot?!"
Loren shot a disdainful glance at Jessistan beside him.
"Don't worry, he's my friend."
"Besides, he only has about twelve Legendary-level robots."
This silver dragon was acting more and more harmless by the day... Loren muttered a quiet remark in his head.
After hearing Loren's explanation, Jessistan patted her generous chest with her small hand, letting out what seemed like a relieved sigh:
"That scared me to death. The Star Realm really is full of dangerous guys everywhere..."
Upon hearing this, Loren stared at her without moving, tilting his head with a playful look in his eyes.
"And what about... you?"
Jessistan's ancient face flushed red, and she covered her ears with her little hands.
"La la la, I can't hear you! I'm still just a thousands-year-old dragon baby!!"
After throwing her tantrum, Jessistan shot up into the sky as if embarrassed, "fleeing" from Loren's teasing gaze, and shyly flew to the front of the starship...
Facing that massive starship, she revealed her true form — a beautiful silver dragon several kilometers in size.
This dragon body, symbolizing ferocity, beauty, and power, was actually a bit larger in volume than the starship itself...
Witnessing all this, Loren looked at the sky that had darkened once again, couldn't help shaking his head, and quietly muttered a sarcastic remark:
A thousands-year-old dragon baby? You old thing sure know how to be subtle...
High up in the sky.
The Silver Dragon, now in her true form, extended her dragon claw, covered in beautiful scales, and lightly tapped the front of the starship.
"Whoosh!"
A massive golden magical array appeared beneath the ship.
The starship slowly sank into the golden magical array...
Three seconds later.
The golden magical array that had covered the sky vanished.
Along with it, the massive ship disappeared too...
The next moment.
The enormous Silver Dragon tilted her head slightly, looking down at Loren below, and gave him a nod.
"Whoosh!"
Beneath her dragon body, a silver magical array spanning the horizon lit up once more.
Then, the colossal dragon body, as if diving into water, plunged straight into the silver magical array and vanished...
She had gone to deliver the "goods"!!!
"Mr. Loren, I'll be back tomorrow morning!"
"Make sure you wait for me! Don't go off having fun without me! Take a dragon along! Thank you!"
Just before the silver magical array dissolved, a thought quietly transmitted into Loren's ears.
Loren looked up at the silver light scattering from the sky, tilted his head, and yawned.
"..."
Was this the aftereffect of being cooped up too long? Miss Jessistan.
After silently muttering a quiet remark about her, Loren stared at the spot where the magical array had vanished and asked in his mind:
"Raven, after you learned the Mage profession, could you pull off something like that?"
"Master, I'm just a bird..."
A somewhat weak voice came from within his mind.
"Stupid bird, I gave you that precious Wisdom ability during your evolution, and this is how you use it?"
Raven: "..."
As if I had a choice, you know?!
You damn master!! It was you who got lonely in the first place!!!
"Speak up, stupid bird!!"
Then.
A reluctant, grudging voice echoed in Loren's mind:
"Stop yelling..."
"This bird was born to be a mage..."
Although the content of Raven's words was full of confidence, the tone was utterly lifeless and feeble.
Upon hearing those words in his mind, a satisfied smile spread across Loren's face.
"Wisdom really is a great ability!"
"Right, Raven..."
Raven: "..."
Miss Jessistan, waaaah! I was wrong!
I agree now! Let you become Master's contracted dragon!!!
Come save me!!
