Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"Tomorrow is the final assault," Hamilton felt a bit melancholy. The last total attack on the Bug Race's nest led to the annihilation of the entire Mech Armored Corps, creating a significant fear of the gigantic alien creature within him. Although, during this period, all the mech pilots of the Mech Armored Corps had undergone special mental resilience training with the help of the Arbitration Place's enforcer, which should have given them some resistance to the fear domain of that giant bug, he was still deeply troubled by the prospect of the forthcoming confrontation after having suffered a great loss before. Naturally, he wanted to find a source of confidence for himself— For example, Bai E, the captain who could maintain freedom of movement within the fear domain of the Bug King during the last confrontation. Last time, even though he was just a common soldier, he had managed to save thousands of fighters amidst the total defeat, making an indelible contribution to preserving the core forces of the camp as intact as possible. And now... Even though it might still be a while before his maximum observation period came to an end, Bai E's combat effectiveness in piloting a mecha was not to be underestimated. Even though in the recent internal military meetings Enor was selected as the successor to Bai's mech spirit, and the progress in the last few days was fierce; even though the Mechanical Court also dispatched several groups of elite mech pilots to join the army on the campaign, unverified strength was still difficult to earn Hamilton's trust. For some reason, he had complete trust in that silent warrior who had been promoted from an artificial human. If he could bring him along and appoint him on the spot in the battlefield, that would serve as the last insurance. However, to bring such a controversial focal person into the battlefield, there needed to be a reasonable excuse... Under normal circumstances, the meaning of other senior officers was to not let him be in touch with external matters for the time being. Let me see what sort of progress Bai has made in the hangar these past few days? The person in charge of guarding the hangar saw Hamilton swaying over and instantly perked up, "Commander, what brings you here?" This was the boss of the entire armored camp. To him, in the military district beyond the marshal, Hamilton was the most important. "Nothing much," Hamilton waved with one hand and casually glanced around the hangar, seemingly asking offhand, "That mecha servant named Bai E who was transferred here a few days ago, how's his performance been lately?" "Bai E?" The person in charge's face stiffened, gradually becoming more expressive. "He's under Master Hou's guidance. Shall I call him to speak with you about the details?" Hamilton nodded, "Alright." Then, the person in charge picked up the communicator and shouted into it, "Master Hou, please come to the central control tower." Hamilton stood at the entrance, casually surveying the hangar. Seeing a collapsed scene in a corner, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and slightly lifted his chin toward the area, softly asking, "What happened over there?" So, the face of the person in charge became even more animated, "It collapsed... Bai E did it." That was why he had been acting strange when Bai E was mentioned. Early that morning, when everyone started work in the hangar, they were greeted by a completely collapsed mecha stand. It was always the mechas that broke, but a mecha stand needing repair... that was a first. No one knew exactly what kind of procedure Bai had used to detonate the mecha stand, which had never had any problems before, into that state. It was known that Bai had made a mistake in the operation and destroyed the structure of the stand with a mechanical arm; others who didn't know better might have thought it had been blown up by a smart weapon's rocket. The damage was quite bizarre, and people were still being sought to repair it. Mecha servants could only repair mechas, not mecha stands. However, the chief culprit, Bai, had proactively offered to study it after damaging the stand... It couldn't get worse anyway, so he should be studying it now, right? "Oh~ I see," Hamilton nodded, appreciating this attitude. Daring to explore, eager to progress, very good, very good. Soon after, Master Hou came running over. The person in charge gestured toward Hamilton, who stood with folded arms, and whispered, "The commander wants to know about Bai's performance over these past few days. Since you've been leading him, you know better. Please tell the commander." Master Hou's face also began to show a colorful array of emotions. Looking at Hamilton, his lips trembled, hesitating whether it was appropriate to speak. Hamilton's eyebrows quirked up, "What is it? Speak frankly." So Master Hou blurted out, "Captain Bai is an absolute genius like I've never seen before. If he can delve deeper here, I believe he could bring about a revolutionary reform to our entire mecha maintenance logistical system! The efficiency of future repairs could greatly improve. If it's possible... I hope the commander could approve for Captain Bai to become the core technical person for our maintenance center!" The person in charge: "???" Hamilton: "???" Looking at Master Hou's fervent expression, Hamilton was somewhat astonished and uncertain, "What does this master mean?" "The commander may not be aware, but these past few days all our mecha servants have been out of work. The inspections and repairs of the Mecha Armored Corps' training mechas have all been completed by Captain Bai alone, without ever delaying any training opportunities, and without a single oversight. Captain Bai seems to have a natural sensitivity to mechanical structures; he was simply born for this job!"
