Life is notplete without going through several ups and downs; not just three, but in Chen Fei''s case, twenty.
System: Ding! Stepped on andmine 20/20 times, gained Energy Points +100!
The tasks of getting shot and bombarded were not yetplete, but stepping onndmines was already done.
ng!~
Another one!
Reality is just like that, full of surprises at every turn.
It became twenty-one ups, twenty-one downs, disregarding everything, life is perfectly fulfilled, muah!
Normal operations in the hands of Chen Fei always go awry in the most unimaginable ways.
It''s an undeniable fact.
Even the battle-hardened veterans following him, who had seen all sorts of situations, weren''t prepared for this.
But this time, the rise and fall, up and down, truly opened their eyes to a world they hadn''t seen before.
Oh yeah... Chen Fei held his crotch, pressed his legs together, this time he truly felt the pain, sucking in cold air for a while before he could catch his breath.
He imagined Manager Hanna''s impressive figure in his mind.
That old bear Chekhov had a point, size really does matter!
This is where the low-tier employee''s fantasizing about his boss ends.
Chen Fei bravely cleared a path through the minefield near the Aircrew Base 909, walking against the istion wire fencing until an empty human shape emerged, finally stepping into the base for real.
Looking around in his tattered clothes, Chen Fei said, "No people, no bodies, everything is normal."
He held his earphone all the way there, preventing the fragilemunication device from being damaged by shrapnel from randomly flyingndmines, or from being broken or crushed when he fell.
"Everything is normal."
"Normal!"
The five veterans split into two sniper teams, locking down Aircrew Base 909 with crossfire.
They weren''t worried about someone popping out to take a potshot at Chen Fei. In fact, they were rather hoping for it.
Along the way, the veterans had used their counter-kill strategy to stealthily take down dozens of unlucky foes, ones who could have posed a serious threat to Aircrew Base 911, but who had lost their lives due to a moment of carelessness.
Chen Fei''s shoes were long gone thanks to the mines, and now he was barefoot, which was just as well since he wasn''t worried about stepping on nails.
System: Ding! Titanium alloy discovered, 17 grams, absorb? Yes/No |?
Yes!
System: Ding! Absorbed 17 grams of titanium alloy,position ratio: titanium 89.98%, aluminum 6%, vanadium 4%...
Within a certain kic energy range, the system will automatically absorb metal materials.
Only if it doesn''t fall within or exceeds this range will the system provide a prompt.
Inside the devastated Aircrew Base 909, various broken metalsy scattered everywhere.
"Wahoo!~"
Chen Fei couldn''t help but nod his head.
He had found a newnd, no, a new mine, and it was chock-full of ore.
System: Ding! High carbon steel discovered, 235 kilograms, absorb? Yes/No |?
Yes!
...
System: Ding! Manganese steel discovered, 1.2 tons, absorb? Yes/No |?
Yes!
...
System: Ding! Energy Points +1!
System: Ding! Energy Points +1!

Energy Points: 2796/5000
The Dog System could never have thought that while it had its Zhang Liang''s n, Chen Fei had his owndder over the wall.
Finding a few thousand tons of metal within an Aircrew Base was easier than eating or drinking.
Stumbling upon two infantry fighting vehicles provided Chen Fei with 60 energy points.

Chen Fei''s gaze fell on thest item on the skill list, and the corner of his mouth twitched... this damn Dog System.
The skill list had been automatically reorganized, clearly showing that many skills were interrted, not existing in istion.
Good grief!
It won''t stop until it squeezes out all my Energy Points.
Chen Fei gritted his teeth, and he didn''t stand a chance.

System: Ding! "Metal Devouring" skill can only absorb 1000 tons per day, cooldown countdown 52 hours 11 minutes
Chen Fei ￣△￣: "..."
If this Dog System doesn''t have a trick up its sleeve, I''ll eat my hat.
The only way to get more Energy Points now is to honestlyplete those damn tasks.
And I''ve got 985 bullets and 10 shellings to endure, just thinking about it is exhausting!
"Manager Hanna!"
Chen Fei pressed down on his headset and called again.
Since he can''t umte Energy Points for now, he might as well take the opportunity to get some real work done.
"What''s up?"
The female executive manager, who was fighting in another area, responded immediately.
"There''s still a lot of good stuff left at Aircrew Base 909, can we figure out a way to take it back?"
Earlier, when searching for metal materials to absorb, Chen Fei chose selectively, not converting everything into Energy Points rashly.
The important, valuable items had been set aside.
"What do you have? You''d better make a list."
Manager Hanna naturally understood that Aircrew Base 909 had evacuated in a hurry and definitely hadn''t been able to take everything with them.
The items that were left could certainly be beneficial to Aircrew Base 911.
"Sure, I can make a list."
Chen Fei immediately called in the five veterans outside on guard into Aircrew Base 909 and began dividing the work.
Two veterans were in charge of clearing the runway, while the other three followed Chen Fei to scavenge the entire aircrew base.
After one day and one night, theypiled a list that spanned over a hundred A4 sheets of paper.
After reviewing the list, Manager Hanna chose a portion of the materials and sent them back to Chen Fei and Aircrew Base 911.
The facilities and equipment of the aircrew bases were basically the same, or even exact replicas of the same nning scheme, with many items being highly interchangeable, ready to use straight away, which was just free gain — an opportunity too good to pass up.
Even if sold at a fraction of the original value, at least half of it would end up in Chen Fei''s hands, making this deal quite gratifying for everyone involved.
Fourrge tricycles made long treks one after another, arriving at Aircrew Base 909 to take away the sorted materials.
In one go, they took away four tons, with a total payload that was quite impressive.
The materials brought back could allow Aircrew Base 911 to assemble four morerge tricycles. Despite this gadget not being high-tech or particrly strong inbat or defense, its cost-effectiveness was too high, and it was easy to use—anyone could operate it.
Five hours for a round trip, at least 12 tons could be moved in a day.
On the third day, the Merman Brothers Consortium and the military contractor that formerly had jurisdiction over Aircrew Base 909, through the satellite that still provided reconnaissance services, finally noticed something was amiss.
Unidentified individuals had broken into the deserted Aircrew Base 909, and they were not just dismantling but plundering it.
Thinking over it, if it wasn''t Aircrew Base 911, who else could it be?
The local Patan People, including those bandits, certainly didn''t have the guts to steal from aircrew bases.
Boom!~
The unmanned reconnaissance drone hovering at an altitude of 12,000 meters was blown up by a missile fired from afar, turning it into a fireball.
"Enemy attack!"
The veterans of Aircrew Base 911 reacted immediately.
They had lost the unmanned reconnaissance drone which served as amunication ry and assisted with reconnaissance.
"We''ve been discovered!"
Chen Fei rushed out of the tower in a hurry, looking up at the sky.
He was still holding an electronic circuit board in his hand.
"Elemental Dposition" was damn useful; these past couple of days, he had dposed a lot of gold from these electronics, with a purity of 99.99999∞%.
Activating "Basic Optical Observer Level 4," heyered on "Full Spectrum Imaging."
The color palette of his entire visual field suddenly became rich and dazzling, revealing many things usually invisible, and he spotted the falling fragments of the unmanned reconnaissance drone at first nce.
He immediately shouted, "There''s another missile, find cover fast."
