<h4>Chapter 539: Severely Injured, an Unexpected and Terrifying Achievement!</h4>


    “This Level 6 me dragon lizard is so powerful. By the way, isn’t the Demon n at an advantage since they only need to have a temte to be stronger? They don’t need to suffer pain to be stronger. I’m so jealous!”


    “I know, right? They can maintain abat form and also change to other, morefortable forms during their daily lives. Unlike us, after we’re modified and remodeled, it’s inconvenient to do anything apart from fighting.”


    “That’s notpletely true. It would be difficult for them to use a hundred percent of theirbat power if they used someone else’s temte. It’d be impossible for our squads to fight against the real me dragon!”


    “You’re right! Even though the Demon n can switch temtes, after all, it’s not their own body and they won’t be able to control it as nimbly as the real thing!”


    Around the main battlefield on the street, more and more cyborgspleted their invasion tasks and hurried over to watch the battle with passion.


    The groups of demons that the Level 6 me creature had brought out were alreadypletely wiped out by the turbulent attacks of the cyborg army. It was like a battle against the final boss.


    The me creature was left surrounded by the crowd that constantly shouted as theyunched attacks against the trapped beast.


    It was as these spectators said.


    The temte obtained by the Demon n could exert a terrifying amount of power and seem extremely majestic.


    However, when utilizing the temte’s strength, due to the wielder’s weakness and poorbat skills, it would be difficult to exert its real Level 6 strength after reaching only about 80% of its original strength.


    ording to the current situation, if it were not because the cyborgs of the Light Empire were taking precautions and they had notunched a final attack, the Level 6 me dragon lizard would notst long even with its special me breath.


    “Hmm? Why are you smiling so happily? Did we win?”


    Whoosh!


    It was like watching a football game where everyone was anxious, and then suddenly a personughed without any worry.


    Under such tense circumstances, the cyborgs in the audience immediately turned their heads in the direction of theughter.


    The Light Empire also used a simple method like the Demon n, which used the mark to judge a person’s strength.


    At a nce, anyone with obvious traces of modification was definitely Level 3 or below, and only a few people could break through to Level 4 and above.


    Those who had no obvious traces of modification but had identifiable remodeled parts were definitely at least Level 3, and it was possible to break through to Level 5.


    The ones who had no obvious traces of modification or identifiable remodeled parts, and looked like normal humans, were at least Level 4. It was highly likely they were Level 5 or even a Level 6 powerhouse!


    The crowd saw the figure in ck, with a ck scarf covering his face, holding a big, dark red gun in his hand.


    Everyone froze and instantly gave the unknown person a strength rating.


    He was definitely a powerhouse of at least Level 5 and above!


    “Aha! Of course, we’re about to have the winner of this battle. Look, the dragon lizard’s me is almost out!”


    Realizing that he had be the focus of the crowd, Su Mo rubbed his head suddenly and skillfully shifted the topic back to the battle.


    Whoa!


    Hearing this, the crowd turned their heads and focused on the center of the battlefield.


    It was just as Su Mo had said, the me dragon lizard spewed mes five to six meters long at the start of the battle, going up to seven to eight meters.


    However, the mes were now only a little over two meters away even if it used all its strength, and the decline in its power was very evident.


    The team of cyborgs that stood beside him started to increase their attacks and became the masters when attacking the weak!


    “We’re going to win!”


    Su Mo quietly uttered, but before he could finish speaking, the me dragon lizard suddenly stopped its rapid attacks. Judging by its actions, it seemed to want to escape.


    However, the army of cyborgs obviously did not let it go and effortlessly captured the creature with arge.


    Roar!


    The moment the me dragon lizard was caught in the, half a dozen long weapons instantly pierced into its body and ended its life.


    “Oh, yes!”


    “We won!”


    “!!!”


    The death roars of the me dragon lizard were like the sound of the victory horn.


    The cyborgs on the streets cheered loudly and the air seemed to tremble.


    The cyborg team stepped forward and lifted theirrades high. The other exchanges on the same street that were stubbornly resisting the invaders also lost their fighting spirit in an instant and chose to meekly ept their defeat.


    “This brother here really has good eyes! He is indeed a high-ranked master of the Light Empire!”


    “That’s right! These demons only had a terrifying appearance but couldn’tpare to us inbat power!”


    “Brother, do you have a team? Why don’t you consider joining mine? We are full of Level 4 members and together we will destroy the Demon n!”


    “Why don’t you consider me too, brother? We’re also a team full of Level 4 members! Come join me and I’ll let you be the assistant captain! I’ll share with you 30% of our spoils without any ambiguity!


    The “loot” in the import exchange was destined to be a joyous celebration for a very small group of people.


    Thes audience, who had watched from the sidelines, only joined in the fun to gain some experience so that they could go back and brag about it.


    However, Su Mo, a powerhouse, was different.


    The team that could invite him to join would be able to immediately take on a Level 5 task and the benefits would be far more abundant!


    “Sure, sure, sure. My team just disbanded and now I’m looking for a hunting team.


    “Strength-wise, it should be at least all Level 4 members and it has to be a well-equipped team.


    “First of all, I’m not looking to go to dangerous ces. I only want to go on tasks that will surely seed! Don’t invite me if you’re a team that likes to take risks!”


    Su Mo pretended to think for a while as he looked at the eager smiles of the cyborgs below him and told his requests with a smile.


    This time, the number of teams that came to invite him dropped by as much as 90% in an instant.


    The strength of the cyborgs was not as terrifying as imagined. Most of the teams were temporarily formed after they had invaded the city.


    After some selection and looking at the conditions given by each team, Su Mo immediately chose to join one of the teams, named “Chosen Ones”.


    In terms of benefits, this team was not very generous.


    However, in terms of loot, they promised that Su Mo was allowed to freely choose whatever he pleased.


    “I’m the Chosen Ones’ captain, Dyson. How should we address you?”


    Dyson, who had almost all his body parts remodeled, was obviously overjoyed to have sessfully invited a Level 5 into his party.


    “Brother Dyson, don’t be so polite! You can just call me Su Chi.”


    Su Mo casually used his cousin’s name and pulled down his mask to reveal a friendly smile.


    The reason why Su Mo had not left the scene was not that he wanted to witness people’s reactions to finding out that their loot was missing, but he was instead curious about why he was identified as part of the Light Empire by these cyborgs. Su Mo decided to take another big chance!


    He had alreadypletely filled his storage space and the transformation chances were already exhausted. There was no means to transport the loot even if he were to rob another ce.


    Su Mo decided that instead of relying on manpower to continue to steal trivial items, it would be better to join a team and try to nt a “seed” in this period of time when the cyborgs were not finished with their invasion.


    They exchanged names, and since neither of them had social phobia, the other six members of the team were quickly selected that day. The group of eight quickly became acquainted.


    In the Light Empire, a standard cyborg team would consist of seven people, and the typicalbination was three fighters that were mainly responsible for frontal attacks, including two assaulters and one defender.


    The other two were logistics personnel who were mainly responsible for maintaining equipment and carrying tools, consisting of a repairman and a toolbearer.


    Another scout was mainly responsible for exploring the terrain, finding locations, and receiving tasks.


    Amander who was mainly responsible for quickly formting tactics ording to the opponent’s terrain, and then implementing them.


    Of course, a Level 4 squad definitely would not have a realmander.


    A captain like Dyson was a pure-blooded assault fighter who was, at best, a half-*ssedmander.


    “Hey, there seems to be a quarrel over there. Could it be that the goods inside were destroyed?”


    Looking at the map, everyone was still discussing where to choose their next target.


    Suddenly, there was a lively scene in the import exchange, apanied by bursts of shouting, which sounded extremely scary.


    Su Mo was well aware of the situation and did not dare to show even a hint of a strange look on his face.


    However, the others were curious and hurried over to observe the situation inside through the open door.


    “Captain Qing Tian, what are you holding in your hand? Why does it seem a little familiar?


    “It does seem familiar to me too. It’s like something I’ve seen often!”


    “Huh? Don’t you think it looks like boxers?”


    “Now that you’ve mentioned it, it does look a little simr!”


    Captain Qing Tian was the most powerful in the cyborg teams and deservedly became the focus of attention.


    However, unlike the majestic killing of the me dragon lizard before, this time he was holding a pair of ck boxers, and his eyes were filled with terrifying rage!


    Then, after hearing the people talking outside, Qing Tian threw the boxers on the ground and picked up the book next to him.


    After seeing the colorful pictures in the book and the dense text inside, his expression softened a little.


    His rxed expression immediately turned into violent fury as soon as he flipped to a section of the book that was deliberately torn out.


    The fact that the exchange was emptied under their noses was intolerable and unbearable.


    Worse still, the other party had even deliberately left these things to ridicule them, which was equivalent to pping them in the face in front of everyone.


    It did not hurt physically but the insult was great!


    ‘Hmm? I’ve only worn the boxers four times, but it seems I didn’t wash them after thest time I wore them?


    ‘I must’ve used a lot of pages from that book when I went to the toilet! What a sin!


    ‘I might have dropped that pot on a stone and left a hole in it, so that’s why I never used it!


    ‘...’


    Qing Tian threw down the book in his left hand and picked up the pot to observe it carefully. Then, he frantically smashed it on the ground while roaring repeatedly.


    Seeing this, Su Mo shrunk his neck back and hastily averted his gaze.


    “Let’s go. We shouldn’t stay until Qing Tian uses us as punching bags after he can’t find anything!”


    “Ah, right! Yes, yes, yes! Brother Su is right! Let’s go! Hurry up!


    Feeling the depressing atmosphere inside the exchange, some people who were watching from the outside began to quietly retreat. Dyson patted his head and hurriedly left with the group of people.


    After a long while, they did not stop until they walked out of the street and arrived at a sidestreet next to them.


    They opened up the map again and discussed it while looking at the markings on the map.


    “Brother Su, do you mean that it would be best if we don’t choose a target close to the inner city?”


    “Yes, the inner city has now be a difficult target. The Demon n’s powerhouses and crowds are concentrated there. It won’t be advantageous for us even if we were to head there. Not to mention that the poor could take things from there that are most likely worthless.” Su Mo nodded.


    “On the contrary, once the Demon nunches a counterattack it’ll definitely start from the inner city. You know what that means~”


    Everyone nodded quickly. “Understood! Understood!”


    Su Mo also considered a team’s hunting concept when he chose a team.


    Although the strength of the Chosen Ones was not the best, in terms of meticulousness, they would not lose to other teams of the same Level.


    After ncing at the map and determining the restricted area, Su Mo started to strategize.


    “Now that several main roads have been swept by the others, there won’t be much profit if we were to go there again.


    “So, I suggest we target this ce!”


    Without leaving any traces, Su Mo seemed to stretch out his hand randomly, but itnded on the block where the antique building marked with the Level 4 danger rating was located!


    “Here?” Dyson scratched his head in confusion.


    “Yes, most of the exchanges in this block are Level 4 danger rating exchanges. They belong to high-Level neighborhoods. It’s highly likely that the high-Level teams won’t like it, but our team’s strength is just enough to win there.


    “We’ll definitely be able to retrieve a handful of goods if we go there now!”


    Dyson did not hesitate too much after thinking about the reason for Su Mo’s ultra vires and nodded casually with a face full of surprise.


    Originally, he thought he had picked up another fighter in his team.


    However, now it seemed that he made up for thest shoring of the team.


    The captain and vice-captain nodded in agreement. The group of eight quickly identified the direction of their target and began to move forward rapidly.


    Dyson was in the lead and the route they were taking was the main road upied by the cyborgs. Naturally, they were much faster than when Su Mo hade alone.


    At one thirty-five in the morning, the heavy snow had gotten worse and the group of eight took their time to arrive at the block that was quiet in the midst of the chaos.


    “Great! The ce that Brother Su pointed out ispletely vacant. We’re in for an easy task tonight!”


    From the beginning to the end, there were nine exchanges on this street, two that were Level 3 and seven that were Level 4!


    It was best to pick an easy target. With the scout’s help, they quickly invaded the first Level 3 location and took it down without much effort.


    While the others were gathering the spoils, Su Mo stepped forward without hesitation to easily harvest six fresh marks and put them into his storage container.


    The others were not surprised by his actions, but generously let him do what he wanted.


    After all, in the cities of the Light Empire, cyborg marks could not be sold for a high price, but they were notcking in sales. They belonged to the bestmodity category.


    Moreover, in the battle just now, Su Mo took the lead and directly used his Level 5 strength to establish a victory, and he deserved such benefits!


    “Brother Su, should we continue to the second one?”


    “Sure!”


    The group’s confidence increased immediately as they had a Level 5 fighter on their team, and they set a Level 4 exchange as their second goal.


    However, what happened next was not what everyone had expected.


    With Su Mo’s godly intrusion, he wielded a big gun and quickly killed off three enemies in sight. Everyone else made up for the rest and the situation was instantly under their control.


    Nine marks… six marks… seven marks… four marks…


    It was just like cutting leeks, they progressed faster in their advance as they approached the further back end of the exchanges.


    The number of marks in the container around Su Mo’s waist had also skyrocketed from the initial 18 (mercenaries) to 69!


    Based on the current harvesting speed, tonight’s profit was incredible.


    However, Su Mo decided to announce a forceful attack on thest antique building that had its doors closed.


    Unlike the previous attacks on the exchanges where Su Mo was always at the forefront, this time, he pulled back and stood in the same row as Dyson.


    However, the people who were arrogant did not notice the sudden change and still rushed forward roaring.


    The door busted upon and a sudden attack came out from inside.


    The defender and the fastest assaulter were thrown into the air like rag dolls in an instant.


    Three people from the Chosen Ones team would have been killed instantly if Su Mo had not quickly pulled on Dyson.


    “Oops, this is a tough one!”


    Against the background of fire from the surrounding houses, Dyson nced at the spears stuck in the members’ chests.


    He observed the wound and noticed that the spear not only attacked with great speed,but the enemy had also coated the spear with a special poison that was specifically used to corrode a cyborg’s body.


    These thorough precautions far exceeded the previous exchanges they had attacked!


    During his thought process and judgment of their enemy’s strength, Dyson immediately intended to retreat but before he could react, the enemy inside hadunched another attack.


    “Fight! We won’t be able to leave. It’s either they die or we live today!”


    At a critical moment, Su Mo’s loud shout awakened the team with only six people left.


    Su Mo had shot and killed one of the people rushing out. The team immediately remembered the terrifying strength of Su Mo, who was Level 5, and immediately regained their scattered willpower.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Just like a jet ne, the cyborgs chose to fight for their lives and pressed the buttons on their remodeled parts which began to turn red and hot, releasing white gas.


    Su Mopletely went full force against the enemies that rushed out from the exchange. Every move and action he made fully utilized the power of the big gun.


    Unlike the previous import exchange, the strongest enemy in the antique building was only in the early stages of Level 5.


    But with their terrifying numbers and their waterfall-like offensive, it was much stronger than a simple Level 6!


    The enemies surrounded them from the front, rear, left, and right. Even if Su Mo wanted to escape now, he would have to pay a steep price.


    Fortunately, there was still the firepower of the remaining five cyborgs.


    After several strains, cuts, and a terrifying prating wound to the right side of his thigh, the enemies inside were finally cleaned up and only a few leftovers remained!


    “Brother Su, are you alright?”


    Without a defender anymore, Dyson could only temporarily act as Su Mo’s shield who was responsible for defending against the attacks from the other directions during the battle.


    His body was also covered with several terrifying wounds that dripped with blood.


    “I’m fine. I can still fight!”


    He took the medicine handed to him by the toolbearer at the back and sprinkled it on the wound.


    A sharp pain spread from the wound and Su Mo stood up as he gritted his teeth, which eventually ended with him taking care of the leftover opponents.


    After making sure that all the enemies inside were cleared, only then did Sumo let out a sigh as he sat down in the snow and looked back.


    Su Mo also had to pay the price of serious injuries, even though he had enough mental preparation for the “sudden” fierce battle.


    The team of Chosen Ones that was behind him has been reduced from seven people to only… three!


    Needless to say, the assaulter and defender who died violently had already turned purple, and their death was terrifying.


    The repairman in charge of maintenance was torn apart and his blood spilled everywhere on the ground.


    The scout who had the lowestbat skills was much unluckier. His whole body was still pinned to the ground and twitching constantly until now.


    The entire team was left with only the toolbearer, Dyson, and another seriously injured assaulter.


    Su Mo allowed the toolbearer toe to deal with his wound. After his whole body was wrapped in something like a bandage, Su Mo gritted his teeth and stood up.


    “Dyson, can you still walk?”


    “Yeah!”


    “Okay, let’s go in together!”


    Seeing that Su Mo did not take advantage of the situation when he and the others were severely injured, a relieved smile appeared on Dyson’s face.


    Then, with a low growl, Dyson stood up and left the toolbearer and the assaulter to collect the marks of the people behind as he stumbled inside with Su Mo.


    “You search the first floor, I’ll search the second floor!”


    “Okay!”


    The interior of the antique building was still the same as when Su Mo was a “guest” at that time.


    Seeing Dyson nod, Su Mo leaned against the esctor and went up to the second floor, step by heavy step, and began to inspect and search.


    Now that all the owners of the ce were dead, and the entire building had not undergone a formal change of ownership, the system’s judgment allowed Su Mo the authority to identify the items’ properties.


    With a sh of green light and seeing the message popping up on the panel, Su Mo’s face instantly showed a look of surprise. He strode to the third room on the second floor.


    On an unremarkable floor, Su Mo tapped five times rhythmically, which caused the floor to crack open and a box slowly popped out.


    Then, without anyone touching it, the lid of the box opened by itself, revealing the contents inside.


    ‘Oh my God...


    ‘A Level 6 Dwarf Master temte, a Level 5 Harvest Ent temte, a Level 5 Blue Moon wolf temte…


    ‘There are hundreds of high-Level temtes in here!


    ‘Goodness! Is this the arsenal of weapons that caused the top ten exchanges to rebel…?’
