Chapter 341: Bountiful Harvest! Two days later, Luo Yan finally found a chance. A quiet, secluded chance. He returned to the forbidden area. After being burned by an incendiary bomb, the forbidden area was desolate with no plants growing, covered in large black patches. Luo Yan arrived at the cave where the Elemental Power was abundant, cultivating a large number of Gathering Yuan Flowers. This cave was not spared either, as all the plants were burned to black ashes, covering the ground. After clearing a space, Luo Yan began to manifest his Elemental Power, releasing the illusion of his Original Soul. As the Elemental Power rose, his Original Soul’s illusion became visible. The armor with brown base and gold edges still carries the sense of strength and durability. However, the form of the Original Soul is still a bit blurry compared to when it was in a more primitive state, with the edges of its shadow nearly invisible, making the figure look as if it has shrunk a bit. Additionally, the azure dragon that used to coil around its body has disappeared, leaving only a blue ribbon floating and wrapping around its arms and waist. Luo Yan sensed that the Original Soul’s shadow has weakened significantly, resembling a person who has been seriously injured. Fortunately, this weakness is only temporary, as long as Luo Yan continues to cultivate, the Original Soul’s shadow can recover. Luo Yan’s concern was that it might disappear, but now it seems as long as he doesn’t die, the Original Soul’s shadow can still exist, though its state may be affected. He let out a long sigh of relief. He retracted the shadow. Then he felt his ‘Dragon Blood Essence’ within, ever since absorbing the amber light gas transformed by the Red Fruit’s sap, the ‘Dragon Blood Essence’ had been dormant. But Luo Yan could feel that it was subtly changing, becoming a bit more lively. It seemed that it would fully awaken soon, and then they would know what changes and effects absorbing the amber light would bring. Since he was already there, Luo Yan wasted no time and sat down to meditate. And so half a day passed. When his practice was successful and he naturally ‘awoke’, he noticed a slight change in the edge of the shadow of the Original Soul. This made him even more certain that the shadow of the Original Soul could be restored. Left the cave. Upon returning to the base, Yan Wenbo immediately dragged Luo Yan to the tent used as a war room. “Where did you run off to?” “I’ve been looking for you for a long time.” “It’s time to announce the gains from this battle.” “Everyone is in the war room, you’re the only one missing.” When they arrived at the camp, it was indeed packed with Mecha Masters. Anyone who could move, even if they were in a cast or wheelchair, was all there. “Classmate Luo, over here.” Bai Chou, wearing an eye patch, waved and beckoned Luo Yan and the captain over. A moment later, Liang Jian wheeled in a wheelchair. In the wheelchair was Di Zheng, wearing a collar and covered in bandages. Upon seeing the captain, all the Mecha Masters quieted down, stood up, and saluted Di Zheng. Di Zheng chuckled and said, “I am unable to move freely today, so I won’t return the salute.” “This time, everyone worked hard.” “The doctor said I can’t talk too much yet, so the next things will be done by Liang Jian.” Liang Jian did not refuse either, he took a few steps forward, looked around, and gestured, “Please have a seat, everyone.” After everyone was seated, Liang Jian confidently said, “In this battle, we lost a total of 37 mechas, 11 of which are completely destroyed and cannot be repaired.” “Among them is an entry-level Divine Guard unit.” As he spoke, Liang Jian glanced at Luo Yan in the crowd. He then continued, “Furthermore.” “Additionally, we lost 19 pilots in battle, and their bodies have been sent back to the underground city for funeral arrangements.” “I suggest everyone here observe a moment of silence for the fallen soldiers.” After speaking, Liang Jian closed his eyes, bowed his head, and started to silently mourn. The others followed suit one after another. Bai Chou folded her hands, closed her eyes, and murmured some words, as if she was praying for the deceased. Luo Yan didn’t say anything, he just closed his eyes and bowed his head. The tent was filled with a solemn atmosphere. After 3 minutes passed like this, Liang Jian said, “Thank you, everyone.” “Every fallen Mecha Master sacrificed themselves for the underground city, for the survival of humanity.” “They are heroes, and their spirits will live on forever.” After a pause, Liang Jian continued. “In this battle, we and the two armies from Guangling together defeated 41 giant beasts.” “Among them was an Overlord Giant Beast.” “Five upper rank giant beasts.” “Thirteen middle rank giant beasts.” Twenty-two lower rank giant beasts. “We collected materials from all the dead giant beasts, including their cores and more.” “In addition, we also captured seven ‘Youyin’ statues, preventing the forbidden area from turning into a desolate land.” “All these harvests, achievements, and honors belong to each and every one here!” “Therefore, through research conducted in the underground city and Giant Beast Strategy Manor, each person present will receive a reward of 500,000 work points.” “There are other rewards as well, but they will not be listed here. Detailed information will be sent to your phones by the underground city later. Please pay attention.” “Lastly, there will be a celebration banquet tonight, so let’s all have a good drink!” Suddenly, the tent rang with cheers. Walking out of the battle tent, Yan Wenbo whistled, “50,000 work points, how much booze can I buy with this.” Kang Shun smiled and said, “Captain, you better take it easy. I suggest using this money to take care of your body instead.” Yan Wenbo chuckled, “Don’t underestimate me, Captain. My body is fine, no need for taking care.” After speaking, he started coughing. Bai Chou also excitedly exclaimed, “Now I can collect the complete set of Habi.” Luo Yan looked puzzled and asked, “What is Habi?” Bai Chou’s face turned red all of a sudden, her old habit acting up again. She covered her mouth and whispered, “There’s a bunny hat, part of a collection with many colors and different expressions.” “There’s also a pirate style inside that comes with an eyepatch, which goes really well with me!” Luo Yan didn’t know what to say for a moment, then his phone rang. He checked it and found out it was a reward notification. [Guangling Legion reserve Mecha Master ‘Luo Yan’, the personal reward items are as follows.] [1. Reward of 500,000 work points.] [2.
