3A Full Payment for a Vehicle

They hadn’t even done much, and the forum exploded first—did 3A just buy the new tank that was released today?

Who wouldn’t be shocked?

The first trending post in the gossip section was titled: “Breaking News! The first buyer of the latest base tank is actually 3A!”

-??? I’m still figuring out how many zeros are behind this new tank, and 3A already bought it?!

• QAQ Add me to the research group, I haven’t even fully studied the new tank’s functions yet, and you’re telling me it’s already been bought?
• Wuwuwu, the big shot is so powerful, my God, a tank worth almost a billion, just bought like that—truly deserving of being a big shot!
• I won’t say who’s jealous of this.
• I’m crying, who knows?!
• …Thanks for the invite, but please stop sending me this news, thanks! As a newcomer with less than a million credits combined, I can’t handle this stuff!
• Hehe, just told the captain if we should buy a new tank, and the captain said let me shark it, hehe.
• Upstairs +1, my captain asked if we were a match, and as someone who can’t even level up my third-tier skill, I definitely don’t match, wuwu!
• Speaking of which, the headquarters’ rule that third-tier members can’t go on missions, can we bypass the bug, never level up, and never have to do missions for the rest of our lives? Yay!
• Bullshit! If we don’t do missions, where will we earn credits? Where will we get extra cores? Without credits, we’ll starve to death! Without extra cores, we can’t level up, which means we can’t go on missions, and in the end, we still can’t earn credits and will starve to death!!
• Good grief, after all that talk, we’re still doomed. I suggest we just die now.
• Yay! Let’s die together!
• Hurry! Call 120, more people have gone mad here, get them out quickly!!

The forum was going crazy. 3A, the beauty, was taking the new tank for a test drive, cruising through the area. The horsepower was especially strong, it drove with an incredible feel, and it was super fast.

Qin Luo and the others took turns driving, enjoying themselves like crazy, with constant exclamations of excitement.

It was a bit childish.

Shishi was sitting steadily on the bed, and it didn’t matter how they drove or drifted or swerved.

As long as they were happy, she was happy.

The whole team almost emptied their savings to buy the new tank, but it was still worth it.

At least they’d be safer when going on missions.

They could also test out some of the new features, including small caliber shells, remote lock-on shooting, and the fact that the co-pilot seat could also be used to operate it.

Qin Luo said, “This doesn’t feel like a car at all; it’s more like a combat mech. So cool!”

Wang Weihuo looked at his own single bed, spacious and comfortable.

No problem lying down with a two-meter tall man.

The back of the vehicle also had a bathroom and a simple control panel, with an electrical plug for cooking. “I think this is a new type of battle vehicle that combines both combat and living space. With it, going on missions won’t be so exhausting.”

Right now, Chen Xiaofei was test-driving. He drove fiercely and quickly, just like his personality—reckless—and kept slamming on the brakes, swerving around.

Bai Shu was in the co-pilot seat, studying the new features, nearly getting car sick. He slapped Chen Xiaofei on the head, “Drive properly!”

Chen Xiaofei yelled, “Why are you hitting me?! If you get motion sick, go to the back!”

Their bickering was a regular occurrence.

Qin Luo and Wang Weihuo ignored them, continuing to discuss the new features.

“This middle row’s resting area is also very well-designed. The windows are solid, the sunroof works fine, and this telescope is great. Oh, it can even switch to submarine mode, much better than our old snowmobile tank!”

Qin Luo was inspecting the details, tapping the windows, thoroughly satisfied.

Wang Weihuo said, “But this vehicle is almost twice as big as our old one. If we get to some narrow alleys or something, the snowmobile tank would still be more convenient.”

Qin Luo agreed, “Then we’ll take turns using both. It’s like, kids make choices!”

Xu Duoduo was sitting on her exclusive bed, the one on the right side, where Qin Luo had helped her set up the bedding and Wang Weihuo had set up a little bed curtain.

The four big guys didn’t fuss over such things. They didn’t even bother with curtains, just taking the three beds and using them freely. They were all close, so no need to be picky.

Xu Duoduo’s bed curtain was tied up, and she only pulled it down when needed.

Qin Luo definitely came over to nap with her.

Shishi was strangely confident about this.

The four of them took turns driving the new battle vehicle to get familiar with it, which was important for missions later on. The most terrifying thing was not being skilled when needed.

So, everyone had to be able to drive.

As for Xu Duoduo, the little zombie, it didn’t matter. She stubbornly climbed into the driver’s seat before getting off, wanting to learn. But she had to adjust the seat to reach the controls. After some effort, Qin Luo held back a laugh and helped her adjust it.

In the end, she couldn’t even reach the brake…

Chen Xiaofei and the others couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Xu Duoduo’s face turned red.

Qin Luo nearly cried from laughing, then scooped her up, “You don’t need to drive, which princess drives herself? We’ll all be your drivers, no problem.”

Shishi still wasn’t happy.

Qin Luo added, “If you really want to learn, go ahead! If not, we’ll customize a smaller battle vehicle just for you!”

He said it wasn’t hard.

Don’t be upset.

Chen Xiaofei also nodded, “Hehehe, that’s right, little squad leader, don’t be sad. We’ll save up for the next one, and get you a custom tank. You can drive it whenever you want.”

Wang Weihuo nodded, “The mission credits are getting higher and higher, and after a few more jobs, we’ll have enough.”

Bai Shu pushed his glasses, “By the way, what style do you want, little squad leader? Tell me, I’ll draw the blueprint for you.”

Qin Luo looked down at her, “How’s that? You’re not upset anymore, right? It’s no big deal!”

Xu Duoduo blushed and buried her head on Qin Luo’s shoulder.

Wang Weihuo and the others just grinned like idiots.

Chen Xiaofei cheered, “Great! Our next goal is to save money and buy a battle vehicle for the little squad leader that she can drive! How about making it pink?”

Bai Shu said, “Pink’s not that great. Silver-white would look good too, it’d suit the little squad leader.”

Qin Luo hugged Xu Duoduo, “I vote for pink.”

Wang Weihuo, realizing what was going on, also put away the new battle vehicle and caught up with his teammates, “I vote for pink too.”

When they checked the forum for gossip, it was already after dinner.

Everyone was about to start their post-dinner study.

Recently, there were many new dark derivative monsters, so they needed to catch up on some knowledge.

Then Chen Xiaofei sneaked into the entertainment section of the forum and saw the trending post. “What? They already know we bought a new tank? This news is way too fast! These people are too idle!”

Bai Shu said calmly, “The new tank from the three major bases, produced in H City, and it’s the only one we have. It’s not surprising that people found out.”

After he said that, he kicked Chen Xiaofei under the coffee table. “Are you slacking off again?!”
