Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 807: Section 802 - Exclusion Method

"Mutants mixed with monsters, well, this is interesting!"

Chen Fei pondered for a moment, but his hands didn't stop moving. The Mechanical Dragon made a turning maneuver, decisively setting the E-zone as its destination before flying at full speed to the next field.

Initially, he thought the intelligence of the commanding entity was limited, but now it seemed he had underestimated the opponent.

Since they could pull off such a trick, they might have more up their sleeves. From now on, he had to stay vigilant to avoid being caught off guard.

He had been through a lot and witnessed plenty, such as seasoned Jianghu getting ambushed and killed, like the unbelievable scene of an adult Metallic Dragon being instantly killed by a group of sparrows.

"Command Center, request Crystal Energy supply, meet at the edge of the E-zone."

Chen Fei spoke while setting the rendezvous point with the supply drone.

The Mechanical Dragon was good, but its biggest drawback was its high energy consumption. After several horizontal and vertical maneuvers in the D-zone, it accumulated quite a kill record, but the Crystal Energy reserves had dropped to 88%, not counting mechanical wear and daily fatigue.

Conceptual Armaments often had a synonym: Money-Burning Armaments. With Chen Fei's extreme operations as fierce as an Evil Dragon, involving high-level maneuvers, the Combat Mobility Armor, unlike a fighter jet, severely lacked overload tolerance. The fact that it hadn't disintegrated in battle was due to the strong support of Psi Skills.

The power of a Giant Dragon was indeed not something humans could easily replicate.

The design team at Louis Industrial Company often received combat data that far exceeded theoretical parameters, leaving engineers with expressions as if they had seen ghosts, questioning whether the data really came from their designed Conceptual Armament and not some alien advanced civilization's black technology.

Fortunately, Chen Fei handled the complex logistics and maintenance on his own. Otherwise, Louis Industrial Company would have to send another small fleet and a professional team just to maintain the basic operations of this Mechanical Dragon, and the cost of a dozen full-scale battles would be as much as the massive supplies previously sent in support.

Within the 223 Aircrew Base, the waiting Ability User Observation Team gathered again, following Chen Fei and the Mechanical Dragon's movements via three-dimensional holographic projections.

The surveillance matrix formed by the drone swarm could capture clear images from different angles.

The Command Center opened a dedicated data channel, with three-dimensional holographic projections and display screens scattered throughout the Aircrew Base, inside the airships, next to the main runway, in the dining hall, and in the hangar. Hundreds of people were dispersed accordingly, setting up tables, having snacks and drinks, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

Among the observers, most of the ability users were B-class and A-level, with a few C-class having special Psi Skills. The rest were War Professionals and Spellcasters above the Fifth Rank of Human Order, about twenty in total, each capable of holding their own.

Heavenly Order and S-Class usually wouldn't deploy easily, as their numbers were limited, unlike Cangqiong Star, which had a deep foundation, serving more as strategic deterrence to intimidate domestic ability user criminals.

The "rookie" Chen Fei piloted the Mechanical Dragon, making several advances and retreats in the desert, invincible. To the observing ability users, this had an unusual significance.

"Hey! Is this kid really B-class? He seems stronger than A-level!"

"Quite impressive! I wouldn't dare to recklessly kill among those monsters. It's too easy to make a fatal mistake."

"I'm A-level, but I feel I can't beat this kid."

The First Sovereign's local ability users discussed the most, as Chen Fei was their homeboy.

The outstanding performance of the young guy also brought pride to his fellow countrymen.

"His Psi Skill is quite special, but then, Psi Skills are inherently unique. Even among Metal Ability Users, having different Psi Skills is very normal."

Some Metal Ability Users in the observer team compared their Psi Skills with Chen Fei's, trying to save face.

"Didn't you notice? The 'rookie's' Psi Skill itself isn't strong, it's not even combat-oriented, but it heavily relies on external factors. The stronger the external factor, the stronger his Psi Skill."

"I noticed too. Give him a gun, and he has the firepower of a gun. Give him a cannon, and he has the firepower of a cannon. Now with the dragon-type Mobile Armor, his combat power should match that of a Giant Dragon, right?"

"It should be possible, with the right ammunition, his power should reach around the Fourth Rank of Earth Order or A+, not to be underestimated."

"Previously, the combination of humanoid Mobile Armor with dragon-type Mobile Armor felt very much like a Dragon Knight."

"I totally agree, it's quite enviable!"

"There are no useless ability users, only those who misuse their Psi Skills. This 'rookie' perfectly understands his Psi Skills."

"Any Psi Skill, as long as it's used correctly, can be very powerful."

There were some insightful people who quickly saw through Chen Fei's Psi Skill. Stripping away the external factors, he was genuinely B-class. The Psychic Management Center's assessment was generally accurate.

"Louis Industrial Company has a keen eye, finding such a suitable ability user. This dragon-type Mobile Armor is probably going to sell like hotcakes."

"The young guy is lucky to have found a big backer. If I had a daughter, I'd definitely introduce her to him."

"I wonder if this young man would accept a technical migration. My country's sovereignty would be very willing to offer money, houses, land, and not just a wife but even mistresses of all kinds."

"Quit dreaming; you think First Sovereignty will let him go? Better keep your little thoughts to yourself, or you'll get beaten up by folks from the First Sovereignty."

...

The various parts of the 223 Aircrew Base were filled with chatter and envy, with no true jealousy among them.

Unlike condensing Battle Qi Seeds and gaining Elemental Perception, the awakening of Psi Skills relied entirely on fate. The awakened Psi Skill was what it was, not teachable or imitable, predestined by fate, so jealousy was pointless.

Occasionally, there were one or two ability users who could copy others' Psi Skills (e.g., the already deceased "Plagiarist Cat"); however, they also faced significant limitations and could not do as they pleased.

-

While the spectators at the 223 Aircrew Base were passionately chatting, the Mechanical Dragon had reached the edge of the E-zone and completed its resupply with the supply drone, filling its Crystal Energy reserves to 100%.

But Chen Fei did not let the supply drone go after completing the resupply operation. At the top of a sand dune, he transformed the Mechanical Dragon into a giant electromagnetic rail cannon with five thick, long landing arms, with a caliber exceeding 1000mm.

He loaded a ton-level Thermobaric Bomb, fired it at three times the speed of sound.

Then, another ton-level Thermobaric Bomb, executed similarly.

After continuously firing five rounds, Chen Fei finally let the nearly exhausted supply drone go. As a massive mushroom cloud rose in the distance, he piloted the Mechanical Dragon with its Crystal Energy reserves still at 100% to patrol the impact site.

Utilizing the matrix formed by the drone swarm, combined with his Psi Skill "Basic Optical Observer (8th level)" to activate "Macroscopic Perspective" and "Visual Assistance," and the AR visual assistance from Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," he stacked all the buffs on his vision to the maximum.

Know your enemy and yourself to win a hundred battles. Avoiding ambush required sharp vigilance.

The Thermobaric Bombs cleared out a diameter of a thousand meters, with a 300-meter radius turned into a sea of flames, almost depleting oxygen within 500 meters, and a thousand-meter range scoured by shockwaves.

The mutant entities and invading monsters captured by the drone swarm were indiscriminately killed. If the commanding entity was hidden among them, it was likely doomed.

The Command Center, though reluctant to give Chen Fei a Dragon Slayer Missile, provided plenty of ton-level Thermobaric Bombs.

In an open desert area without cover, low-altitude detonation of the Thermobaric Bombs, while not maximizing their power, still proved to be highly cost-effective map bombs, covering a large area. Five ton-level Thermobaric Bombs hit all the concentrated mutant and invading monster spots in the E-zone.

"'Rookie,' you can't do this. There's no way to confirm the commanding entity."

The Command Center's communicator relayed the staff's message, criticizing the random bombardment. Wasting ammunition was a minor issue, but missing the target would mean all efforts were in vain.

Chen Fei confidently replied, "I have a way to confirm!"

Despite the Dog System sometimes resurrecting and issuing inexplicable tasks with no clues or intelligence, Chen Fei had long found a knack for completing missions.

Even if the Dog System was silent, he could still analyze many things.

"What way?"

The communicator lady was taken aback, asking what the staff would also say.

"The method of elimination!"

If the Dog System didn't prompt mission completion, the bombardment wasn't over, a genuine reverse solving.

"..."

The Command Center was stumped. Was this even humanly possible?

"'Rookie,' did you also talk like this during 911?"

The communicator lady doubted how Chen Fei survived in the workplace. Private Military Contractors' capitalists weren't as lenient as public institutions.

Chen Fei honestly replied, "Exactly!"

He and the Big Bear Squadron Leader once drunkenly attacked the enemy's aircrew base during a corporate war, acting recklessly without organization or discipline. In the end, only the Big Bear Squadron Leader was punished. Comrade Chekhov himself said that with so many debts, he didn't care anymore. He had roamed Jianghu for over forty years, seen countless battles, and survived many near-deaths. How could he fear such a small matter?

In reality, it was Boss Hanna who indulged him. The actual work was handled by the Aircrew Base's Executive Manager, who revered Chen Xiao'er as an ancestor and dared not speak harshly to him.
