Sky-cracking Rider

In fact, it hadn't taken three days.

It had only taken one day for Chen Fei to finalize the cooperation agreement with Boss Hana and the comprehensive development plan for "Flesh Mushroom."

Legal personnel were not hard to find; there were connections to be leveraged, such as Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, Northern Weapons Industry Group, Jiu Defense's in-house cooperating lawyers, and even the university Chen Fei attended, all of which could assist. Even if there were fees, they wouldn't be unaffordable.

The contents of the documents were inevitably noticed, and wow, "Flesh Mushroom" had not yet been mass-produced, but potential major clients had already emerged.

If one was willing to spend the money, direct contact with law firms in society that charged by the hour and labor could also ensure the review of these documents within a specified time.

The remaining tasks only required signing, fingerprinting, electronic signatures, notarization, and a series of authorizations; then a corporation solely running "Flesh Mushroom" would be officially established.

As for the complex issue of company name, Chen Fei tossed it directly to Boss Hana. He knew nothing about business; it was, after all, something Boss should handle.

Registering a company name was a lesson learned from past mistakes; probably, it wouldn't cause laughter again.

Since the construction of the planting site wasn't completed yet, there was no rush. If necessary, they could spend some money to purchase an already registered company name. Any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

If not particular, a random array of numbers, letters, and Chinese characters would do; after all, it was the source company, and there was no need for a catchy name, like the homespun "Golden Arches," which didn't detract from being one of the industry's big shots.

At least in the circle of small military contractors, Jiu Defense had already gained some fame. Besides its main business at the Aircrew Base, it had gradually accepted many other military and security contracts and had begun to turn a profit.

Having settled the new project partnership with Boss Hana, Chen Fei finally officially returned to his post.

He checked in at the rotation duty area of the "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron, and with no flying missions at hand, he planned to help out in the maintenance crew.

However, most of the organizing work in the maintenance area was already done, and Big Brother Xiao didn't let Chen Fei interfere, instead suggesting he take a walk in Hangar 2.

Compared to before his leave, there were quite a few more things in Hangar 2.

Chen Fei saw the lists hanging on container after container, all filled with various damaged and obsolete parts from attack helicopters, Big Mouth Monsters, and MiG aircrafts. These should have entered a regeneration program, but the maintenance chief had bought them cheaply by the pound from peers at various Aircrew Bases in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, meticulously storing them, seemingly waiting for Chen Fei's return.

This was indeed a brilliant move!

For Chen Fei, the hardest parts to repair were the non-metal components, as metal material deformations and damages were not really an issue. Out of dozens of containers of scrap, repairing just one percent would mean a huge profit for the maintenance crew.

However, Chen Fei estimated that he could restore seventy to eighty percent of the parts to their original state, making them virtually indistinguishable from new. It might not just be a huge profit; it could be a windfall.

The costs saved would become Jiu Defense's profits, which would then become everyone's bonus.

Setting aside Big Brother Xiao's unilateral decision, the benefits generated by these collected scraps had only advantages, no disadvantages for Chen Fei; naturally, he would take the lion's share, and such a bonus was extraordinarily significant for someone who had been impoverished in the past.

This demonstrated that Big Brother Xiao cared about the debts Chen Fei carried.

After a busy morning, Chen Fei had finished sorting the parts in one container.

The repair wasn't troublesome, it was done in a blink, but the majority of the time was spent on picking and placing parts.

In the end, there were still a dozen or so nearly shattered components left, mainly damaged non-metal parts. Metal Elemental Psychic Power could repair them, but it would cost Energy Points, and Chen Fei naturally didn't want to waste precious Energy Points on this scrap. He planned to see if he could find suitable 3D printing base materials later and reprint a set.

911 Aircrew Base wasn't in urgent need of these parts, so there was no rush to repair them; they were simply set aside for now.

Arriving next to the stacked containers, two massive objects were covered with white cloths.

He lifted one of the cloths, revealing a badly damaged body.

The Crystal Jet "Holy Grail"!

This junk, once collected outside the outskirts of Hablav City, headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, could only be found in such a place.

Chen Fei reached out his hand...

First, he threw out a hundred tons of iron.

Subtitles appeared in his field of vision.

Energy Points -100!

Energy Points: 39900/40000

Then he placed his palm on the battered Crystal Jet.

System: Ding! Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" wreck detected, 11345.32 kilograms, absorb: Yes/No｜?

Yes!

"Metal Devouring" skill activated.

System: Ding! Absorbed Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" (wreck), gained 11 Energy Points, composition ratio: Titanium 65%, Aluminum 10%, Wind Patterned Copper 7%, Black Sand Steel 5%, Platinum 1%, Rhenium 1%...

System: Ding! Gained "Wind Cone" Magic Array!

Chen Fei's eyebrows lifted.

Huh? This Crystal Jet still retained a complete Magic Array on it.

On the ground, there were only various non-metallic parts of all sizes, the "Metal Devouring" only affected metallic materials. After absorbing the metals, what was left were these fragments.

The body weight of 11345.32 kilograms wasn't necessarily all metal, but how much had been approximately taken away by the Dog System, Chen Fei probably didn't have an exact count.

"Physical Evolution Database" extracts the Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" (remains) sample.

The next moment, the Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" evolved identically and landed on the ground, and all the non-metal parts were "picked up" back, still in their broken state.

"Rookie, are you messing with this again?"

A voice came from behind. Chen Fei turned around and saw it was Tempun Schneider, a.k.a. "Sauerkraut."

After graduating from "Eagle Nest", he was signed by Jiu Defense. When he first arrived at the 911 Aircrew Base, he only knew "Rookie" Chen Fei, which naturally made him feel a bit closer,

By now he should have been familiar with the other colleagues of the "Genuine Fragrance" squadron and got along well with them.

Having seen Chen Fei come over alone earlier, the idle "Sauerkraut" Tempun Schneider followed out of curiosity.

Chen Fei had tampered with this Crystal Jet several times before, but he never quite grasped it, and had not made any progress.

The Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" had always kept in its broken state; it had never been repaired.

"Hmm, I plan to fix it."

Chen Fei's hands did not leave the "Holy Grail". He continued to activate the "Metal Shaping" skill, starting to restore the appearance of the Crystal Jet, performing the most basic restoration.

Previously, he had dared not to start because on one hand, he completely did not grasp the magic array on the body surface, and on the other hand, he also lacked a reference sample.

But now, the situation was different.

Sauerkraut Tempun Schneider's mouth opened wide, pointing at the now undamaged-looking Crystal Jet "Holy Grail" and stuttering: "Wha-what? Fix it!"

It seemed to him the most incredible thing in the world.

Not to mention tinkering with repairing a Crystal Jet at a military contractor's aircrew base, just having such a thought, from any angle, was overly audacious!

A broken-down Crystal Jet and a intact Crystal Jet were almost two different things; the former was worthless rubbish, while the latter represented a sovereign level combat force.

"Exactly, everything should be tried."

Chen Fei had obtained several very practical Magic Arrays, and absorbed another genuine Crystal Jet wreckage and a complete knockoff Crystal Jet.

Only after cross-verifying each other did he gain the confidence to try.

At any rate, if it failed, it didn't matter; at worst he'd crash and start over.

Having industrial-grade Metal Elemental Psychic Powers meant he could afford to be capricious.

Tempun Schneider took a deep breath, somewhat helplessly said, "This is impossible, you know?"

"How will we know without trying?"

Chen Fei began to inscribe the Magic Array for this Crystal Jet.

Apart from the still intact "Wind Cone (2)" Magic Array below the nose, he continued to imprint other Magic Arrays he knew, replacing the original incomplete Magic Arrays.

The "Holy Grail" had 99 engraving units, perfectly stacking "Repulsion Shield (45)"×1, "Gravity (1)"×4, "Fluid Vortex (2)"×4, "Blazing Flame Bullet (1)"×4, "Wind Blade (1)"×2, "Wind Series Magic Shield (12)"×1, in addition to the original "Wind Cone (2)", using up 77/99 of the engraving units.

After absorbing that knockoff Crystal Jet, Chen Fei had gained some additional Magic Arrays, which could also be of use at this moment.

The Magic Arrays used by the "Holy Grail" were not those Chen Fei had imprinted; under conditions where he couldn't fully restore to original, he could only use what was available, but he guessed even if it was repaired, it would still be a knockoff Crystal Jet. How it would actually perform, and whether it could surpass the knockoff Crystal Jet he had absorbed before, probably could only be known after a test flight.

Seeing the Magic Array on the surface of the body flickering, Sauerkraut Tempun Schneider finally confirmed Chen Fei was serious.

His mouth twitched, and he turned and ran without hesitation. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"This is incredible! The Crystal Jet is really getting fixed."

Wow! The 911 Aircrew Base was about to have its own Crystal Jet.

Reverberating across the entire Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, who else?...

If the Merman Brothers Consortium, who once opposed the 911 Aircrew Base, saw this thing, they'd probably stay as far away as possible, can't afford to mess with them, can't afford to mess with them!

The "Holy Grail", with its Magic Arrays imprinted, was just a shell; the inside was actually empty.

Chen Fei looked toward the adjacent containers, Emmmm... Big Brother Xiao really is a genius.
