Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

The Beggar Sect had been trying to get the epigraph and had almost succeeded twice. Their plans were thwarted by larger Sects, but the Beggar Sect didn’t give up. They were still waiting for a chance to get the item.

She was worried that the Beggar Sect would do something and interfere with the job. For example by sharing this news to Central Plains and make a big commotion. With that, no one would win, or at best had casualties.

Still, those casualties would surely be a 6 Star Martial Artist or higher. The epigraph was just that important for Secs and large Clans willing to sacrifice their people’s lives. Even their Elders might get sacrificed for their gain, and they would do it happily.

’Or they will be more reasonable and hire wandering warriors. I hope they choose that option. But it’s hard to say since Hallowed Insects are the only neutral force in this area who wasn’t interested in the epigraph. The other martial artists might just steal it for themselves.’

It was a headache for her. A sigh escaped her lips.

’Let’s focus on the current problem. I will have to choose someone to join the group and secure the epigraph. Who should I order?’

Her brows furrowed in thought.

’I think I should ask Elder Jae-In. He’s the most experienced and has a high position in our Sect. I will give him the job.’

Nabi made a decision and called her contact, preparing for the mission.

Unaware of her move, Leo and his group had already reached their base and were busy working on their preparations.

"Okay, we will need Humvees for this mission. The members who join will be me, Chiaki, Jack, and Shui. Jessica, you stay here and monitor our operation from here. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Leader."

Jessica nodded her head. She didn’t want to expose her identity too much, so she was more than happy to stay and handle the technical side of the operation. Although it was disappointing she couldn’t protect her Leader herself, she trusted the other members.

"I will also prepare the materials needed for Humvee as well as the base upgrade material. May I borrow the storage ring, Leader?" She added.

"Of course. Use it as you like." Leo handed the storage ring to her.

They were already planning on upgrading their base. With the 10,000 Gold Nabi had paid, they could upgrade the base and buy more resources. Maybe if she did it right, she could also secure the ingots and upgrade the infirmary too.

Right now, they didn’t really need the storage room as they had the storage ring. It wasn’t a priority for the moment.

"Okay, everyone, get to work! The Beggar Sect is on the move. They will probably send their members as well to obstruct us. We have to work fast and efficiently." Leo clapped his hands, "Let’s move, people! We don’t have a lot of time!"

After that, they quickly moved to their stations and began their preparations. Jessica dragged Jack to come with her while Chiaki mentioned she would continue her research.

Leo himself went into the Armory to check the material to make the Humvee.

Inside the Armory, there was a large machine that looked like a 3D printer. This machine was located at the center of the room. In front of the machine, there was a control panel. Leo sat in front of it and began to input the blueprint.

"Blueprint, Humvee, 3D model. Activate the 3D scanner."

Suddenly, a blue light appeared from the ceiling, covering the whole room. A moment later, a hologram of the vehicle appeared beside the machine. A 4-seater Humvee with a powerful engine and armor.

[Scan complete. Materialization process, please provide the material.]

A mechanical voice sounded from the machine. Leo nodded his head and looked at the material list.

Humvee: Iron Bars x 80, Steel Ingots x 30, Copper Ingots x 20, Hardened Leather x 40, Wooden Planks x 60, Glass Shards x 5

Looking at the list, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Creating a vehicle was always expensive, especially for a mercenary group. But it was a necessary cost, especially with the level of technology and martial arts they had.

[Materialization, please provide the material.]

"Cancel production."

He canceled the process. He didn’t have the material yet as Jesicca still secured them.

’We don’t have a lot of money. As expected, we can only upgrade 1 room on top of getting a Humvee.’

The higher the room’s level, the item choices and the quality of the items became better. Not only that, but the requirement to create a certain item would also be lowered as the machine got better. For example, some of the material needed to build the Humvee would be gone, like the glass shards or wooden planks.

Still, he needed this vehicle in this world. All his vehicles in the last base couldn’t be used. Just a single bike wouldn’t be able to help him and his group anywhere.

’The gasoline isn’t a problem. With the technology we have, even water is a good fuel. So, we will be fine. We just need the money to upgrade the base and Armory and the materials needed to create the Humvee. But well, with 10,000 Gold, we can afford them just fine.’

With his mind made up, Leo left the Armory and walked back to his room. He had to check on Anya and gave her an important job. Something had bothered him a little after he heard that the epigraph from the Venom Sect had appeared. The coincidence with the Tang Clan’s attack a week ago was uncanny.

Maybe there was a deeper scheme than he had thought.

’I have to ask Anya to gather information about the relationship between the Venom Sect and the Poison Sect. Let’s see what’s the truth behind the situation.’

Arriving in his room, he opened the door without knocking. When he opened the door, he saw Anya just stepping out of the shower. Her body was still wet and steam filled the room. She wore nothing except a towel wrapped around her body.

They stared at each other for a second before she grinned and put her hands on her lips.

"Hehehe, Leader. Do you like what you see?"

"Ah, sorry. I forgot to knock. Let me just..."

Leo turned around and was about to leave, but Anya suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Wait, wait! Don’t go, Leader. It’s fine and all. I’ll just get dressed real quick. You have a mission for me, no? So, tell me about it while I’m dressing."
