Mercer tossed her a mini submachine gun: "Specially modified for you, made from Kangtao's standard submachine gun. I call it 'Victory', equipped with armor AI intelligent fire control and targeting, abbreviated as V-style submachine gun.
Smart electromagnetic bullets, specifically to deal with opponents that your Mantis Blade can't handle well, like iron lumps such as Adam's Hammer.
Electromagnetic bullets have a chance of causing EMP shock upon continuous hits, directly damaging enemy circuits through armor."
V picked up the submachine gun, looking at the pristine white weapon, with beautiful artistic script engraved on the gun body that read 'Victory For V'.
Heh, quite thoughtful!
V blissfully picked up the submachine gun: "Nice, it's pretty."
"And there's this."
Mercer rummaged through the van and pulled out a Samurai Sword — Mercer actually wanted to get her something fanciful, like a Mo Dao, Tang Dao, or a Miao Dao.
But considering the only long sword V had used was a Samurai Sword, Mercer decided not to complicate it for her.
"This sword also uses high-frequency nanometal technology. When activated, its high-speed vibrating blade is extremely sharp and can target armored enemies.
Your Mantis Blade works well under normal conditions, but it tends to break under high-speed slashing... I ran a simulated test and found that when slashing under the acceleration impact of a mech, your Mantis Blade has a 30% probability of mechanical failure."
Mercer looked at V seriously and said: "If you're engaged in close combat, using the Mantis Blade at high-speed assault, and need to slash with full force, then use this sword."
V was enamored with the Samurai Sword, examining it. The blade-to-back ratio made it clear that this sword was specifically made for chopping. The handle was wrapped in beautiful white cloth, and the guard was engraved with a V and a smiley face.
"Tsk, why add your smiley face to my sword... Well, aside from that, it's quite nice."
V delightedly strapped it to her waist, where there was a special cold weapon hook.
Rebecca eyed Mercer: "What about me?"
Mercer rummaged around the van again and first pulled out the big axe.
Rebecca grabbed it and gave a couple of swings: "This thing feels great to chop with, but where do I put it when not in use?"
"It can be dismantled; the axe can be hung on the left arm to be used as a shield, or the arm can directly swing it. The long handle plugs into the shoulder hole here, and it's all clip-on assembly, very convenient."
After Mercer finished speaking, he took out a highly exaggerated super shotgun from the van's trunk, which upon first glance, looked somewhat similar to his Zhuo Shotgun.
Rebecca took one look and squealed excitedly: "What's this!?"
"Heh, your Iron Gall PROMAX!" Mercer chuckled: "To be precise, I call it the Peacekeeper."
"It adopts a design similar to my Zhuo Shotgun but is actually closer to the Eight-Star Gun from Adam's Hammer. Adam's Hammer modified its round bullets into mini-missiles, while mine uses intelligent Dragon Breath bullets."
Mercer handed this big gizmo to her, saying: "This thing can fire eight Dragon Breath bullets at once; upon explosion on the enemy, they contain not only eight warheads but also explosive high-temperature flames.
Typically, Dragon Breath bullets use a large amount of magnesium for instant high heat, but I've added a combustor mixed with Ethol 2...
So theoretically, when fired, the warheads pierce through a few spots, and then the combustor falls onto the enemy, culminating in ignition from the magnesium's high heat.
It's perfect against flesh and blood, and against mechanical units, the high temperature and combustible flame might also have surprising effects."
Rebecca whistled, exclaiming excitedly: "I can make things explode with fire too? How cool is that!"
She kept looking all around, and on the end of the gun body, she saw her name and a short phrase.
'For Rebecca.'
'For Love and Peace.'
It even had an anime-style portrait with twin tails printed on the gun handle.
She clutched it lovingly, aiming here and there.
Meanwhile, Mann keenly observed: "Looks like someone has noticed something off at the base over there, I see figures moving in caution."
Mercer smirked, spreading his hands and looking into the distance: "So, ladies, what are you waiting for?"
V and Rebecca exchanged glances, and then, without another word, V raised her Samurai Sword gleefully: "Let me christen this blade!"
This time she chose not to fly, intending to try ground sprinting — everyone just felt a blur, and in the next second, she was almost a hundred meters away!
Watching the compressed propulsion jets behind V spurting flames, she ran further and further away, as Rebecca hurriedly cursed, holding an axe in one hand and a shotgun in the other: "If you don't leave some for me today, we're gonna have a problem!"
Rebecca's black mech's compressed propulsion was cranked to the maximum, with Krenzikov and the Frenzy System activated, she stomped the ground with a drum-like pounding, frenzied footsteps headed far away.
The rush of footsteps sounded like firecrackers — a blink and she was gone, chasing V's shadow.
Jack took a deep breath, visibly envious: "So, even this tank-class armor can run so fast?"
"Don't we need to lend a hand?" Lucy showed a bit of longing... not for the armor, but because she could see that these items, both armor and weapons, were bespoke hand-made by Mercer for them.
"No need to worry, additionally, Rebecca's physical condition probably allows her to sprint between 30 to 60 meters per second, though actual combat speed shouldn't be that fast, as the inertia of a tank makes it hard to stop at high speeds..."
Before Mercer finished speaking, they saw that V had already plunged into the Night Wanderer Ghost's base ahead, with screams and shouts audible even from three kilometers.
The sight even more unbearable to behold was Rebecca, who forgot to brake — she crashed straight into a container-style house, smashing through and out the other end.
She looked a bit dazed from the collision but then burst into laughter, raising the shotgun, blasting away a makeshift house into flames.
Blazing flames soared, screams mixed with the excited laughter of V and Rebecca filled the air.
Everyone exchanged glances.
"I mean... is our style becoming... evil?"
Kyoko, who just came to join the excitement, couldn't help but look away with slight regret.
Evil?
Mercer just gazed into the distance, content, with arms crossed: "What do you know! Anti-hero is also a hero!"
After watching for a while, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.
His drones, robots, robot dogs, robot spiders... none of them have been tested yet!
Sigh...
He could only open the map and consult Venus.
[Mercer: Where's the next shooting range?]
[Venus: Hmm... here?]
She highlighted an area on the map.
[Mercer: Isn't this the Voodoo Gang's headquarters?]
[Venus: Yes~ but here, it's also the largest testing ground nearby... isn't it? By the way, that Voodoo Gang's Hua Tiao has urged multiple times for you to take action, and my computing power has been somewhat strained these days...]
Mercer rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
Taking out the Voodoo Gang for free felt a bit unfair.
So...
First-rate mercenary completes commissions, top-tier mercenary creates commissions.
He squinted, showing a benevolent grin.
It's time to make a big score.
