Chapter 200: The Mysterious Cannot be Saved, the Kryptonite Cannot Alter Fate

Su Chen had previously upgraded his Commander zone privileges, but each time it cost him tens of thousands of energy, which was quite a lot for someone like him who was always low on energy. Therefore, he had been reluctant to upgrade.

However, this time, the lottery opportunity was very important to Su Chen. It was the civilian version of the unit lottery, and he didn't know what special things might appear.

"How much energy does it take to upgrade to the Platinum version of the lottery?" Su Chen asked.

"It requires a total of 2,500,000 energy," the system responded.

Su Chen sucked in a cold breath. That was over a million energy points, enough to build two and a half aircraft carriers. If he hadn't recently acquired a lot of energy, he wouldn't have been able to upgrade.

"Upgrade," Su Chen said firmly.

In an instant, his energy was greatly reduced, and his level 4 authority was changed to the Platinum version of the lottery, which meant he had one chance per day to draw from the Platinum version.

"May the god of luck be with me. Draw!" Su Chen said, using the only way he knew to increase his luck.

He was very excited about this lottery and didn't know what he might draw. Would it be a special unit, a special weapon, or perhaps a special building unit?

"Congratulations, master, you have drawn the Centurion Siege Mech. Would you like to release the reward?" the system announced.

"A mech? Another mech! That's good news for me," Su Chen thought.

"Release it and let me see," Su Chen said.

In an instant, a new mech appeared before Su Chen's eyes. Unlike the previous Mech, this mech was clearly heavily armored, and its thick cannon barrel indicated it had strong firepower.

After reading the description of the mech, Su Chen finally understood what it was all about.

This mech was designed specifically for siege warfare and was very powerful in that regard. However, its heavy armor made it lose mobility and agility, making it a sitting duck on the battlefield.

There were three pods inside that could hold three different types of troops. Depending on the combination of troops, the mech's abilities could be developed to different degrees.

The most amazing thing about this mech, and the reason Su Chen was so impressed, was that Chrono Legionnaire's weapons were ineffective against it. This alone was enough to make Su Chen take notice.

In other words, this was a mech with infinite possibilities.

"What is this 1.0 version? Are there still 2.0 and 3.0 versions to come?" Su Chen asked.

"Congratulations, master, you are correct. This mech was just the initial design and is not very practical. There are better versions available," the system replied.

"How do I upgrade it?" This was the most important question for Su Chen. Without the ability to upgrade the unit, he wouldn't be able to handle future situations.

"You must have the super unit of the faction to which this unit belongs in order to continue upgrading," the system explained.

Su Chen rubbed his forehead. In other words, he would have to draw the super unit of this faction in the future, or he wouldn't be able to upgrade this mech?

If it weren't for the fact that he had grown accustomed to the system's ways over time, he would have wanted to comfort it. If he hadn't been so lucky this time, he wouldn't have been able to get such a good unit. He probably wouldn't be able to draw a super unit until the cooldown time for the god of luck was over.

Since he had obtained it through the lottery, the Centurion Siege Mech was already a third-tier unit. Su Chen tried controlling the mech and found that it felt completely different from the Tengu Mech.

This mech was purely a land-based mech and couldn't fly. After all, its weight was a factor, and according to the information, even the Kirov Airship couldn't carry this thing. It was truly terrifying.

If this thing were on the battlefield, it might be able to take down an 8th Order Early-Term Mutant Beast single-handedly. However, this was just Su Chen's speculation, and he needed to experiment to confirm it.

"Recently, are there any restless eighth-order Mutant Beasts or Mutants?" Su Chen asked his subordinates.

Soon, a soldier replied, "Commander, recently all eighth-order Mutant Beasts and Mutants have been quite well-behaved. It seems that only Mutant Beasts outside of human territory are still active."

After experiencing so much, Mutant Beasts seemed to have become quite obedient, which made it difficult for Su Chen to find a test subject.

"If only we hadn't killed that Zerg Brood back then, we would still have several eighth-order test subjects," Su Chen felt a bit regretful.

Lacking test subjects, Su Chen could only temporarily let the Engineers start researching the mechs, hoping to develop some new technology.

"How's the research on the Tengu mech going?" Su Chen asked Chen Yi.

"Commander, the technology on the Tengu mech surpasses this era by a lot. We've already researched about one-third of the technology, and the rest should be done in less than two months," Chen Yi said.

"Very good. If we can thoroughly research it, we can start mass-producing the Tengu mech. This is an important symbol of our Red Alert's weapon upgrade."

Su Chen was already imagining what it would be like if all his subordinates were replaced with mechs.

Of course, it didn't mean that tanks were obsolete. The Apocalypse Tank, Prism Tank, and other high-quality tanks might not even be match for mechs in direct combat.

But...a man's romance is mechs!

If Su Chen didn't use the mechs, he himself felt that it was unacceptable.

As soon as it passed 1 a.m. that night, Su Chen couldn't wait to use all of his daily lottery chances. In the end, he got...a team of airborne Hounds.

Su Chen: "???"

So, humans are no longer capable, and even Hounds can be parachuted?

What is this?!

"It seems like I don't have the luck of the gods. Is my luck always like this? Fate can't be changed by spending money. Ha ha!" Su Chen felt himself becoming decadent.

On this day, Su Chen didn't know what he had done. He finally made it to the next day and tried the lottery again.

This time, his prize was...a Phantom Tank.

Su Chen's mouth twitched. He already had a Phantom Tank, and now he drew another one. Did they think he didn't have enough tanks?

"The difference between this Phantom Tank and your Phantom Tank is, master."

"Oh, what's the difference?" Su Chen suddenly became interested.

"Your Phantom Tank can only change its appearance to that of ordinary trees, grass, or rocks, but this Phantom Tank...can change into any object!"

"Well, that's great...bullshit, say that again!" Su Chen exploded.

This new Phantom Tank had this extra function, wasting one of his lottery chances. Did the System still think he should be happy?

System, come out! Let me beat you up!

Seeing Su Chen getting angry, the System quickly hid. Su Chen was angry but couldn't hit the System.

"Let you go this time. Put this Phantom Tank in the Phantom Tank team for now," Su Chen sighed helplessly.

He finally knew that it was impossible for Africans to sneak into Europe.
