Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 7 Is this Damn Thing a Human Rookie or a 1000 Li Red Hare?

One hour had passed, and with the repair shop's door securely shut, Su Yu examined the smart navigation gadget closely, uncovering two crucial bits of intel.

Firstly, the device's screen revealed that the Giant God Soldiers Base on Azure Star retained an intact base computer, hidden far beneath the surface, last powered up ten thousand years back.

This indicated the surviving part of the Giant God Soldiers' Base remained fairly intact, boasting tech far superior to Ruins Star's present standards and possibly surpassing 90% of the Galaxy's modern societies!

Secondly...

"Do all Giant God Soldiers newbies possess such superhuman stamina?"

A distance of thirteen thousand seven hundred kilometers.

Crossing numerous mountain ranges and marshlands.

Yet, they kept up a daily average pace exceeding a thousand kilometers.

Seriously, were these trainees human or some kind of swift long-distance hares?

Though aware of the Human Empire's dazzling splendor in the Grand Expedition age, this went too far! Could recruits from a single corps really get boosted to this level physically?

He shook his head, pushing down the surge of feelings and surprise inside, then meticulously sealed the Giant God Soldiers' navigator once more, stashing it in the shop's corner, casually burying it among scrap components like some ordinary gun piece.

Yet deep down, a spark of optimism had taken root!

Thanks to the job panel, his immediate threat to survival was handled.

Now, this Giant God Soldiers' navigator's emergence had laid out a clear path ahead for Su Yu.

Still, he wasn't foolishly overconfident to believe he could head out immediately.

That trek spanning over thirteen thousand seven hundred kilometers.

Back in the thriving "Azure" period ten thousand years prior on this world, a fresh recruit would need more than ten days on foot.

In the current Ruins Star reality, attempting such an extensive voyage.

Supplies for water and sustenance en route posed a huge hurdle alone.

Then there were the radiation beasts, alien invaders from space, and bandit groups roaming the wasteland, any of which could prove deadly obstacles.

Furthermore, beyond zones of human settlement, a vast forbidden area sprawled across this Ruins Star.

Su Yu figured that even uniting every hunter from Shelter No. 73's thirteen squads, reaching the Giant God Soldiers Base would prove unfeasible.

"Until I gain a powerful enough battle job and build up real skill and power, I mustn't dream of starting this epic trek!"

Inhaling deeply to steady his thrill, Su Yu's eyes shifted back to the wall calendar.

Factoring in the timeline, Yang Lie and his group, out on their hunt, would take several more days to come back.

However, Su Yu planned no idleness or downtime in the interim.

"Tomorrow, head to the admin office once more to request a fresh set of repair jobs."

Su Yu welcomed every repair task without a second thought now!

The greater the number of fixes, the faster his experience piled up!

True, each mechanical item's repair or disassembly yielded scant experience, but steady accumulation kept his leveling pace steady.

This went beyond just curing his radiation sickness.

It aimed to accelerate his personal growth in power too.

Not solely for that distant, nearly impossible Giant God Soldiers Base.

Even for basic self-defense amid these ruins right now, he dared not let up!

In no time, a handful of days slipped by.

That evening, after Su Yu finished mending the gun he held.

The familiar, booming voice of Yang Lie rang out after so long.

"Su kid, you swamped?"

Yang Lie's words carried an unmistakable thrill.

Trailing him, the full squad under Yang Lie's command stood there, every face beaming with unrestrained joy, their gazes toward Su Yu brimming with profound thanks!

Noticing Su Yu's confused look, Yang Lie chuckled loudly, not dragging out the reveal.

"Our latest outing succeeded massively because of those weapons you fixed up! The loot places us in the top five for this round's hunts!"

Saying this, Yang Lie glanced back, and his crew instantly got the cue, hauling over two hefty boxes to Su Yu's spot!

This exceeded Su Yu's wildest guesses.

Even with Yang Lie's group enjoying a hunting surge, a thirty percent cut shouldn't yield such a haul!

Catching Su Yu's shocked face.

Yang Lie boomed with laughter, then spoke gravely.

"Su kid, I had some doubts about your abilities before, but now Old Yang is fully on board. Your expertise surpasses even your master's!"

"These consist of assorted worn mechanics and components we collected on the trip, all yours! Not payment, but an advance!"

"Advance?"

Su Yu arched a brow faintly, a spark in his gaze as an idea struck: "You aiming for me to serve as your squad's dedicated fixer?"

"Spot on!"

Yang Lie grinned and bobbed his head vigorously.

"Should you say yes, henceforth, whenever we venture out, every part and mech we snag goes straight to you! In return for you handling priority repairs, breakdowns, upgrades, and upkeep on our gear!"

"How's that sound?"

Yang Lie queried.

His stare at Su Yu burned with keen hope!

And his entire crew echoed the sentiment.

A fixed mechanic formed the vital heart of any hunting squad!

They stayed back from the hunts, yet their expertise dictated a team's haul from perilous forays and the odds of safe return!

Typically.

A squad's ongoing mechanic could claim roughly sixty to seventy percent of a single expedition's mechanical yields.

But Su Yu's prowess had fully captured Yang Lie's team's loyalty.

Plus, Su Yu remained quite young.

His talents might sharpen and deepen even further ahead!

Naturally, Su Yu dealt with certain issues, like...

"My radiation sickness hasn't cleared up yet, Uncle Yang, and besides..."

Su Yu eyed the two lieutenants nearest Yang Lie, one a marksman called Zhang Wu, the other a scout by name Li Mao.

These two big brothers had earlier displayed clear irritation at Yang Lie easing Su Yu's load, right after Su Yu contracted the radiation sickness.

A few instances where Su Yu fell short on deadlines, tasked with readying thirteen rifles for Yang Lie's crew per admin rules but delivering only ten, dodging penalties only through Yang Lie's intervention.

Yet Zhang Wu and Li Mao clashed with Yang Lie over it a couple times, right in Su Yu's presence.

"You two not worried about that?"

Meeting Su Yu's look, Li Mao rubbed his nose, appearing somewhat sheepish.

Zhang Wu proved blunter, adjusting his specs first and offering a hand: "Truth be told, I still view Captain Yang's choice as rather risky, but..."

He regarded Su Yu sincerely: "This trip, your fix on that shotgun packed real punch, or I'd have ended up beast chow, so I'm sticking with Captain Yang to give you a shot!"

"Whew..."

Facing Yang Lie and the rest with their hopeful faces.

After a brief pause, Su Yu beamed, flashing a grin: "With Uncle Yang and the brothers pushing this far, what else can I add?"

"Looking forward to a great partnership ahead!"

Su Yu declared, gripping Zhang Wu's offered hand solidly in fellowship!

As Su Yu clasped his hand, Zhang Wu's eyes lit with a touch of warmth, though it swiftly shifted to chagrin when Su Yu teasingly asked: "Oh yeah, Brother Zhang, I recall you're the sniper for Uncle Yang's squad. From your words, sounds like you wielded that shotgun?"

Zhang Wu: "..."
