Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 491 Section 487 - The Working People

```

Although A-level Metal Ability User Kiterley couldn't make a fancy feast, whipping up a breakfast to satisfy hunger posed no difficulty whatsoever.

Eggs, butter, salt, toast, bacon, sausage, and pickles—it would be somewhat challenging to turn these ingredients into a culinary disaster.

Chen Fei was even less fussy, and after washing up, he downed his portion in no time, accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice.

No sooner had they finished breakfast than Adrian came knocking on the door, informing Chen Fei and Kiterley that they were needed to help out in the city district.

Though not completely in ruins, Hablav City was little better off.

The new job for the two Metal Ability Users was to assist with the repair and maintenance of various equipment and facilities in the city's defense system.

Moreover, Adrian, who had worried all night about Chen Fei getting involved with the Magic Array, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Chen Fei who answered the door.

In reality, there was nothing to worry about.

Compared to that, Industrial-grade Abilities were far more important than Magic Arrays.

The Sovereignty was not completely unaware, they just turned a blind eye, pretending not to see, but this detail was recorded in Chen Fei's personal file.

Not just Chen Fei and Kiterley, everyone else also had their own assignments.

After the mutant attack, Hablav City was left in shambles and in great need of reconstruction, requiring a lot of manpower. No one could afford to be idle.

Especially since they were being paid by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, one obviously had to do whatever the superiors commanded.

A worker is like a brick; he goes wherever he is needed.

The abilities of Ability Users are not limited to fighting battles; there is also a great demand for them in production and construction.

-----------------

The entire city of Hablav had become one big construction site, with the sound of banging and clanging everywhere.

A booming dull thud, the tumbling of rocks and earth—as a thick cloud of dust began to rise, it was quickly enveloped by a dense mist of water, turning into large currents of mud that flowed into a pre-dug pit. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Following that, clear water naturally separated itself and plunged into a nearby concrete pool, mixing with cement and gravel, slowly rotating to blend evenly.

"Hey, hey, stop daydreaming!"

Chen Fei slapped Kiterley, who was blankly staring at the breach in the wall.

"Oh, oh!"

Kiterley finally snapped back to reality.

His Metal Elemental Psychic Power was geared towards combat and wasn't of much use in construction, so he could only help out with odds and ends, like making tools or bending steel plates and iron bars—it was barely passable. For major projects, they still had to rely on their little brother Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took a few steps forward and reached out his hand. The skills "Metal Shaping" and "Elemental Decomposition/Synthesis" were alternately activated.

The various metals scavenged from nearby swiftly fused into several thick steel rebars, interlacing and intertwining with each other and connecting to the mostly intact foundation rebars, erecting a steel rebar cage standing over thirty meters high from the ground. Then, steel plates were pieced together to form a colossal all-metal mold box, identical in size and dimensions to the neighboring intact section of the wall.

The well-mixed concrete, under the joint control of the Earth Element Ability User and the Water-Based Ability User, poured into this giant mold box, completing the filling.

After 24 hours, it reached 30% of its hardening strength, and its surface form began to stabilize. After a week, it would reach 90% of its hardening strength, at which point the outer steel plates could be removed, allowing it to continue to dry and harden.

After another week, this section of the wall would be restored to its original state, and over time, the overall strength would indefinitely approach 100%.

While pouring the concrete cement, Chen Fei continued to erect a second steel rebar cage, constructing another wall mold box just like before.

CTM!

"Just the two of us?"

"Seems like... that's the case."

Kiterley and Chen Fei looked at each other, involuntarily shrinking their necks. They had assumed that at least there would be an engineer to guide them through the installation, or at the very least a technician.

But it was just the two of them!

And a dozen or so thick manuals.

It had to be said, the big shots in Hablav City sure had guts to trust such an important job to two amateurs.

If by some chance the mutants attacked again, and all the weapon platforms installed by Chen Fei and Kiterley failed, the joke would be on them, and the city might just suffer another breach.

"What do we do?"

Kiterley looked towards his younger brother Chen Fei. Forget about starting the installation, just reading the manual made his head spin, and if he stared at it any longer, he might just pass out on the spot.

A bunch of individual words that might make sense on their own, but once combined, it was more complicated than curse magic.

"Hmm, 'sacrifice' the whole lot and then get to work! Kiterley, you handle the unpacking."

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then picked up a manual.

Screw this, I'm done pretending!

"Sacrifice? You sure you dare?"

Kiterley quickly looked around. Chen Fei's "sacrifice" skill was far too domineering. With a "copy" following the sacrifice, it meant these weapon platforms would soon have no secrets left.

They were powerful weapons intended to defend Hablav City, and here they were, just small-time employees of private military contractors, daring to tamper with high-grade weaponry.

"Who cares!"

Chen Fei opened a manual and then looked up, glancing left and right, pointing at one of the crates and declaring, "The D-600 type parallel railgun, that's the one."

'D' stands for dual, parallel; 600 denotes the maximum caliber (in millimeters), with a maximum range of 700 kilometers, making it perfect for deep strikes. Not only for city defense but still a top-tier weapon of war.

If the Aircrew Base had something like this for protection, there would be no need to send out combat flight squadrons on long-range raids to nearby hostile bases. Just firing the maximum caliber full-power shells from their position would remove any opponent's Aircrew Base in at most four or five shots.

Of course, private military contractors were not allowed to possess such devastating weaponry.

Kiterley unpacked the crate with trepidation while Chen Fei immediately "sacrificed" the heavy artillery inside.

His "Physical Evolution Database" skill instantly acquired a "D-600 type parallel railgun heavy cannon." Unless Chen Fei was killed, no one could extract this heavy weapon from his mind.

Then with a "pop," it was installed!

As long as there were enough energy points, the "Physical Evolution Database" meant countless trial and error iterations were possible.

Kiterley had no need to worry.

"SE-2500 shockwave cannon," "L-12 laser cannon," "F-120 railgun rapid-fire cannon"... Although there seemed to be numerous crates on-site, there were actually only four types of weapon platforms, each falling victim to a "sacrificial" fate.

Chen Fei also seized the opportunity to acquire three magic arrays.

"Light Gathering," "Wave Gathering," and "Crystal Energy Conversion," were mostly for collecting energy in conjunction with the crystalline blocks inside the weapon platforms.

However, compared to the core "Crystal Energy Conversion" magic array, it was entirely useless to Chen Fei, overlapping completely with his own skill, "Light/Electric/Magnetic/Crystal Energy Universal Converter and Management Component."
