Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 270 - 180: Brawl Caused by the Earth Core Energy Crystal (Combined - )_2

Chapter 270: Chapter 180: Brawl Caused by the Earth Core Energy Crystal (Combined Chapter)_2

Qin Shou laughed and interrupted: "Haha, Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? We’re not close at all, of course it’s not something worth talking about."

"I..."

Chen Yizhou’s face darkened. What’s with this guy? Would it kill him to have some social tact?

Acting like this... you’re making me so awkward!

He glanced at the group behind him and made up his mind.

There’s no way I’m letting this slide. How can I lead a team like this in the future?

If this gets out, where will my reputation go?

Thinking this through, his smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"Qin Shou, even if you don’t want to listen, I still have to speak up for justice.

Fang Bao is your friend. He borrowed your mecha’s design simply because he likes it; it wasn’t intentional. Extorting him for ten thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals is truly excessive."

"Exactly, refusing to share even a mecha design—what kind of friend is that?"

"Yes, you’re being way too petty."

"Totally..."

In an instant, the crowd from the Mechanical Main City chimed in one after another.

Seeing this, Fang Bao’s face grew even uglier.

It’s over, it’s over. The more you rile him up, the happier he gets.

He turned to look at Qin Shou. Sure enough, that radiant smile of his—he must be cooking up something big.

"Uh, everyone, I appreciate your kind intentions..."

Fang Bao tried to intervene, but Qin Shou suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha, great, are you all planning on taking me down with numbers?"

Chen Yizhou puffed out his chest. "Qin Shou, don’t misunderstand. We don’t mean that."

A group of mechanical masters stepped forward in unison.

"Exactly, that’s not what we meant."

Off to the side, Bai Ke and Nan Xuewei exchanged glances.

"Should we..."

"Better not. That guy isn’t someone to mess with. Let’s stay out of this."

Seeing the group in such a state, Fang Bao’s mind suddenly sparked an idea.

With so many people, surely they can beat this guy Qin Shou, right?

But before he could act, Qin Shou suddenly clapped his hands. "Brothers, someone thinks they have more people than us. Come on out!"

As soon as his words fell, human figures flooded out of the dense forest, surrounding the mechanical masters.

Over ten Monkey Avatars transformed into a group of teenagers, all with different appearances, but clearly looking to Qin Shou for guidance.

The crowd stared at the sudden group, startled.

"What... Where did they come from?"

"We didn’t notice at all..."

Alarmed, everyone instinctively retreated to their pilot cabins.

Qin Shou, witnessing this, smiled with satisfaction.

Initially, I just wanted to earn a little extra on the side. But now, I’ve changed my mind.

So many mechas going into my inventory—what a windfall.

Meanwhile, Fang Bao looked at the sudden influx of people in utter despair.

This is Qin Shou’s big move?

Turns out this guy’s true target isn’t me—it’s all of us!

Tension tightened Chen Yizhou’s face as he spoke grimly. "Qin Shou, what’s the meaning of this?"

Qin Shou crossed his arms and chuckled. "Nothing much. I’m lawfully protecting my intellectual property, only to accidentally have a conflict with you which led to a fight."

"Just you?" Chen Yizhou sneered.

Qin Shou nodded seriously. "Yes, just me."

Chen Yizhou pointed to the five stripes on his shoulder with disdain. "Look closely—I’m a fifth-year student from the Mechanical Main City, and you’re only second-year. Do you think you even stand a chance?"

"Wise up and admit fault, and I’ll pretend this never happened."

Qin Shou’s eyes sparkled—fifth year, which means a Vajra Eighth Star mechanical master, Level 2 Eight Stars mecha.

"Heh, so what if you’re fifth-year? In a moment, I’m going to beat your whole Mechanical Main City to pieces!" He laughed loudly.

Turns out picking a fight actively feels pretty amazing.

Of course, that’s assuming you don’t run into someone overpowered; otherwise, it’s just asking to get burned.

Meanwhile, hearing Qin Shou’s outrageous bragging, the mechanical masters grew furious, ready to strike.

Suddenly Fang Bao jumped between the two sides, trying to mediate. "Wait, listen to me! I’ll accept the ten-thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals, no need to harm relations..."

Chen Yizhou shoved Fang Bao aside and shouted harshly. "Get lost! This isn’t about you and him anymore. He dared insult the people of Mechanical Main City; we must teach him a lesson!"

Fang Bao’s face darkened as he looked toward Qin Shou and asked, "Lao Qin, what exactly are you planning?"

Qin Shou spread his hands with an eerie grin.

"Fatty, what do you think?"

"You..." Fang Bao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This guy must be short on cash lately!

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Qin Shou suddenly roared and leaped back, opening over ten Space Gates.

"Roar!!"

"Growl..."

"Shriek..."

"Hiss..."

In the blink of an eye, greedy snakes, Godzilla, Seven-Colored Swallowing Sky Pythons, and other monsters burst through the Space Gates, charging straight at the mechas.

Chen Yizhou bellowed, "Prepare for battle!"

"Buzz..."

Immediately, he grabbed the gear on his waist, causing blue armor to envelop his entire body. Dirt shot up from beneath his feet, and his blurred figure darted directly toward Qin Shou.

Qin Shou maintained his grin and casually unleashed a Dragon-shaped Star Power.

Chen Yizhou sneered, dismissing the incoming attack completely.

His blue armor not only boosted his combat power by one Star Level but also had unparalleled defensive prowess.

Surely, a mere Vajra Five Stars rookie couldn’t possibly...

Unbelievably, the moment the Dragon Star Power struck, Chen Yizhou felt nothing physically—but his blue armor suddenly emitted large sparks. Its augmentation effect instantly shut down, and its flying mechanisms spun out of control, sending him careening around wildly.

He smashed through several giant trees, crashed upside down into the ground, and created a massive hole.

"What the hell is going on..."

Chen Yizhou’s face changed dramatically. He tried to deactivate his fusion state, but it was impossible.

Unless he forcibly destroyed that armor, he had no choice but to run out its backup energy supply before stopping.

Breaking the armor by force...

He couldn’t bear it.

The armor’s malfunction took the Vajra Eighth Star Chen Yizhou out of the fight.

As for the other mechanical masters, their strength ranged from Vajra Five Stars to Seven Stars.

A crowd of mechanical masters operated their mechas, performing Advanced Breathing Skills, which amplified both their mecha’s speed and strength. Even the Energy Cannon’s charging time was faster.

Yet despite all this, they were no match against the greedy snake and the other monsters.

If it weren’t for the Synthetic Monster holding back, these mechas would have been wrecked long ago.

Bai Ke and Nan Xuewei, having already foreseen the danger, had hidden away. Fang Bao took advantage of Chen Yizhou being occupied with his out-of-control flight to rush over to Qin Shou.

"Qin Shou, what exactly are you trying to do?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hissed under his breath.

Qin Shou casually patted Fang Bao on the shoulder and smiled. "Relax, I’m just earning a bit of extra cash on the side—it won’t go fatal."

Fang Bao: "..."

I freaking knew it.

Having so many minions to call on—so envious!

To him, it seemed impossible that Qin Shou raised all these Beast Cultivation creatures by himself.

"You better stop this; these are students from the Mechanical Main City. Aren’t you afraid of retaliation?"

Qin Shou dismissed him. "This is just a regular group brawl. As long as nobody ends up dead, the Four Main Cities won’t care too much."

Fang Bao covered his face. "Chen Yizhou’s brother is a sixth-year student from the Mechanical Main City, with Vajra Nine Stars strength. Are you confident you can handle that?"

"No problem."

Qin Shou waved him off. "By the way, why’re you guys here anyway?"

Fang Bao glanced at his embattled ’teammates’ and hesitated. "If I tell you, will you stop?"

"Haha, Fatty Fang, do you even have a choice now?"

"Uh... Fine, we actually got intel about the ear mouse. We planned to rest here for a bit, then head out to hunt it."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow.

Its appearance resembles that of a mouse, with a rabbit’s head and a body like a deer. Its cries mimic a wild dog’s, and it flies using its tail. It’s called an ear mouse. Eating it not only gives immunity to all poisons but also strengthens cultivation.

"The ear mouse from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* that grants immunity to poisons after consumption?" he asked.

Fang Bao nodded. "Yeah, it’s the ear mouse from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*."

Qin Shou stroked his chin thoughtfully. "What else do you know?"

Fang Bao hesitated. "If I tell you, you better not make trouble for me anymore."

"Fatty Fang, when have I ever made trouble for you?" Qin Shou asked innocently.

Fang Bao: "..."

Qin Shou tapped Fang Bao’s shoulder with a laugh. "Don’t worry—after I take their mechas, I’ll split one with you."

Fang Bao beamed. "Deal."

Qin Shou: "..."

So this is what selling out your teammates looks like?

Fang Bao spoke conspiratorially: "Reliable sources say that although there aren’t too many types of *Classic of Mountains and Seas* mutant beasts here, eating any of them aids cultivation and increases the chance of advancing to the Unbreakable Realm."

Surprised, Qin Shou asked, "It increases the chance of advancing to the Unbreakable Realm?"

"That’s right. Eating certain special beasts from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* can let you activate your Talent Ability early.

Although this activation is just a Fake Talent Ability—nowhere near as strong as a true Talent Ability possessed by Unbreakable Realm masters—it makes advancing to the Unbreakable Realm a lot easier."
