A week passed quickly.

In addition to normal campus life, as Pondel's assistant, he assisted Professor Pondel in the research and development of the battle armor, not only the control system, but also the manufacturing of the parts of the battle armor himself, Professor Pounderl seemed to be deliberately testing him.

Of course, this was not difficult for him, and he used the experimental model of the intelligent core to perfectly accomplish all the tasks, and thus successfully won the approval of Professor Pondel.

Just when Rhodes was almost forgetting about the Red Tiger and the Black Wolf, Simone had bad news.

"Look, Minister, this is information taken directly from the memories of those two people." Simone handed the photograph to Rhodes, with a mechanical device drawn on it.

"This is the part of a steam engine? That's why they refused to recruit? "There's something strange about Rod.

Simone nodded affirmatively and handed the report to Rhodes: "That's right, to be precise, one of the hundreds of parts of the Warframe Steam Engine is the standard Warframe that has been researched by the Royal War Academy. ”

"Warframe...... Sure enough, it has something to do with the rebel group, and these people react quickly enough. ”

Rhodes suddenly realized that the violent organization of the rebellion with the slogan of equality and liberation from the oppression of the aristocracy and the attempt to overthrow the kingdom spread throughout the country, which was the disease of the kingdom left by Sartre I, and with the decline of the aristocracy, the rebel organization had secretly gained more and more civilian support.

"Did you report this to Alyssa? Where did they send this part? "Rod doesn't want to wade into this muddy water, so it's better to push it out.

"Yes, someone has been sent just now; Judging from the confession, the red tiger and the black wolf were just the eyes of the rebel group in the city, and it was not clear where the parts were sent, and the same is true in memory, they just gave the parts to a man in black, much like the man in Heimi. ”

"Kuromi? The one who claims to be able to pay the price, even the emperor has the guts to assassinate him. ”

"Resistance...... Kuromi ...... There is no need for a powerful magic-powered Warframe ....... "It's a bad premonition, it's like preparing for the subversion of the kingdom.

The room was silent for a while, and at that moment, someone knocked on the door from the outside and walked in.

"Secretary Rhodes, President Alyssa asked you to come to the office."

"Ah, I see, I'll be right over." After seeing the man walk away, Rhodes turned his head: "Simone, get everyone ready, ready to go, it's time for a task again." Then he quickly walked to the student president's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, Alyssa was covering her forehead with a headache in the office, Lena was studying in the laboratory today, and she was followed by the new director of the secretariat.

"Rhodes is here, come and see this."

Alyssa handed over two papers.

One is a mission issued by the kingdom, which orders the special academy to clean up the underworld gangs in the West Thirty District.

The other is intelligence, which describes more than a dozen underworld gangs in the West 30 District, without exception, all of them are involved in the transportation of steam engine parts.

Coincidentally, the War College lost another prototype steam engine, and combined with the intelligence of the Red Tiger and the Black Wolf, it is very likely that this matter is related to the Resistance.

Rod couldn't help but frown deeply.

"Looks like you've found out, and they're all related to the Resistance. And all the parts of the steam engine were also picked up by the man in black who was suspected of being a member of the black mi, and you should have thought about the consequences of this incident, and the kingdom attaches great importance to it. ”

Alyssa took a document from the head of the Secretariat and handed it to Rhodes.

The rebellion is a problem left over from history, and it has been a big problem for the Sartre Kingdom since the time of Sartre I, and the kingdom has not only failed to make it disappear, but has grown stronger and stronger.

By now, there are already a lot of members inside, and there is even a shadow of the kingdom magister in the rebel group. The bandits that Rhodes and Alyssa had exterminated had a small connection to the Resistance.

"After investigation, it is very likely that the men in black are members of the underground organization 'Black Mi Brotherhood', as long as they pay the price, they will accept the employment of everyone, including the resistance organization, and the Black Mi Brotherhood adheres to the principle of absolute secrecy."

"Therefore, the upper echelons of the kingdom are not only tracking down the rebels, but also trying their best to track down Heimi, and they have no spare energy to take care of the lower ranks. As a result, the task of cleaning up the minions fell to us, as did the other four colleges, which were in charge of the eastern, northern, and southern districts. ”

This was an opportunity to gain energy in the open, and Rod couldn't ask for it, so he nodded directly and accepted the task.

"Okay, leave this to me, you don't look easy, so I won't ask you for manpower, but I have to prepare two hundred and fifty sets of body armor for me."

Alyssa was overjoyed: "No problem, not only body armor, but also shotguns, I will also prepare two hundred and fifty for you, and deliver them to you within half an hour, anyway, this time the kingdom will pay the bill." ”

In the end, Alyssa solemnly instructed: "Rod, don't die of carelessness. The kingdom is moving a lot this time, so many underworld forces have got information, they are not short of +2 weapons, and may even have +3 weapons. ”

Rod smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Elisa, it won't take an hour, those things won't be able to hurt me, the rock body is worthy of the dwarf technique, it is indeed a good thing, I'll go back and prepare first." Rod turned and walked away.

Alyssa was stunned for a moment, glanced at her left arm, and slowly smiled: "Not only can you completely repair the broken cheats, but you can also quickly move towards the expert level, this is really a jealous talent and body." Having said that, there was no jealousy in Alyssa's eyes, but all appreciation.

Rhodes returned to his office, had people change into body armor, and each received a shotgun, then glanced at the list of attributes.

There are 60 days left to upgrade the rock mass (Specialist) .......

"Wisdom core, immediately upgrade the rock body to the expert level, and the defense power will be directly promoted to perfection."

[If you meet the promotion conditions, you can consume 1000 points of energy to immediately upgrade the rock body (advanced) to the rock body (advanced), and consume an additional 200 energy and a large amount of sword pressure and physical energy, and you can directly upgrade your defense from 'Advanced Perfection' to 'Expert Perfection'. 】

"Let's get started."

The familiar and numb pain came from all over the body, but this time it was not the same as before, with a large amount of sword pressure and physical energy, the heat flow pouring into the body in the earth suddenly became active, and a thick clod of earth slowly appeared on the surface of the body, and when Rod was about to turn into an earth statue, the sound of the completion of the promotion finally appeared.

[Rock Body (Expert) is upgraded, Strength +1, Defense Advancement is +1/Expert Complete.] Increases the maximum strength and constitution by 2, while everything else remains the same. 】

After the promotion is completed, the strength is increased to 19 points, and the maximum strength and constitution are increased by 2 points again.

"It feels good, but it's not enough."

If the enemy already has a +2 weapon, it is inevitable that a +3 weapon will appear, and unlike the dwarven missile with area damage, the bomb with the fiery orb as the core is also a +3 weapon.

Considering the connection between these underworld forces and resistance organizations, this possibility has to be taken into account, not to mention, there are weapons in this world that can ignore defenses.

There must be no carelessness.

"Wisdom Core, now promote the rock body to the master level."

[If you meet the promotion conditions, you can consume 2400 points of energy to immediately promote the rock body (expert) to the rock body (master), and you can get the special effect 'Iron and Stone Possession', which consumes an additional 300 energy, and the defense can be directly promoted from 'Expert Perfection' to 'Master Perfection'. 】

It was the same feeling just now, the same pain, and the body was soon completely covered with clods of soil, and then a huge pressure suddenly added to the body, and the clods of soil were constantly compressed and solidified, and finally showed a luster like a lump of iron.

[Rock Body (Master) is upgraded, Strength +1, Talent Body Strength is promoted to +1/Beginner, Defense Advancement is +1/Master Perfection, and special effect: Iron Stone Possession (Defense is +1 extra when activated, and recovery speed is doubled.】 Strength and Constitution Limit Increase +1, Sword Pressure Limit +1S, and everything else remains the same. 】

Rod directly activated the iron and stone possession, and was immediately wrapped again by the stones, the stones were smooth and angular, like war weapons forged with iron, walking a few steps, the movement was not affected at all, these rocks seemed to be as soft as cotton, and did not affect agility and speed at all.

Defense becomes +2/Master Perfection

The power of the earth that poured into his body also suddenly doubled, but in just a few minutes, the sword pressure and physical strength that Rod had just lost had fully recovered, and even if he consumed all the sword pressure, he would be able to recover in ten minutes.

Rhodes lifted the iron and stone possession, nodded with satisfaction, the effect was far beyond his expectations, especially the greatly enhanced recovery ability, which made him a complete miscellaneous killer, and he didn't have to worry about being killed by miscellaneous soldiers.

Rod glanced at his attributes:

Attribute; Strength: 20 (25), Constitution 20 (25), Agility 15 (20), Speed 14 (20), Intelligence 15 (20), Sword Pressure Depth 15, Mana Depth 15

Affiliation: Total Sword Pressure 1S (3S), Total Mana 2.5S (5S), Defense +1/Master Perfection

After thinking about it, Rhodes also marked the upper limit of attribute improvement in parentheses.

The master-level defense also makes Rhodes very satisfied, which represents the comprehensive defense of muscles, bones and internal organs, and also represents the ability to reduce damage after the skin is broken through, if there is a +3 weapon, this will become Rhodes' hole card for survival.

Rod also glanced at the energy, it had been completely consumed and turned into 0 points, if it wasn't for the fact that he could get a lot of energy right away, Rod would never waste it so much.

At this moment, Simone, who was heavily armed, walked in: "Report, all two hundred and twenty people have been prepared, please instruct." ”

Rod chuckled at the corner of his mouth, still wearing the uniform of the student union, and handed the document to Simone: "Go, the target is the underworld forces above, and under the condition of ensuring their own safety, try to capture the leader alive, otherwise they will be killed directly on the spot." ”

"Yes, do I need to get you a set of body armor?"

"No, I don't need anything like that."
