Chapter 484: Encounter Battle Mode

After obtaining the precise location of the ruins from Lisa, he casually dismissed her.
"System, when can I contact Earth?" Su Chen asked.
"With the current technological level of the host, it is still not possible unless the host obtains the relevant technology from Yan Yun Star and fully understands the technology," the System replied.
"Can't I use my own teleportation to go back?" Su Chen frowned.
"The teleportation from the base has distance limitations. It works fine within a planet, but once it exceeds the planet's range, teleportation is not possible."
"Damn it, why is this teleportation permission so useless? Can't even leave a planet?" Su Chen thought his teleportation was distance-independent, but the System's words made him feel frustrated.
"If the host wants to increase the teleportation distance, there is only one way: upgrading the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)."
Su Chen's eyes lit up. He had upgraded many weapons, but he had never upgraded the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle). What would happen if he upgraded it?
Su Chen decisively spent Energy Points to purchase a weapon upgrade opportunity, intending to upgrade the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle). However, he was informed that the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) was not considered a weapon and couldn't use the weapon upgrade opportunity.
Su Chen: "??? Are you kidding me?"
Are you messing with me by telling me this after I made the purchase? Are you my considerate System?
"Then tell me, how can I upgrade the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)?" Su Chen asked angrily.
"The System will release a designated mission. Once the host completes it, they will receive an opportunity to upgrade the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)."
"Is it another Red Alert dimension?" Su Chen's eyes lit up. Last time, when he went to the Red Alert 5 dimension, he obtained the Warship Factory, Scanning Simulation Imaging Technology, and artificial intelligence Alice. It was definitely a huge gain. If this time he could go to another Red Alert dimension, he felt that he would be on a roll again.
"No, this time it's a different mode: Encounter Battle Mode."
"What? Encounter battle? What is that?"
Just as Su Chen was thinking about it, the System's voice sounded again: "Trigger the designated mission. The host will enter a random encounter battle and complete a random task. There will be no punishment for mission failure."
Before Su Chen could say anything, he felt his vision darken, and he passed out.
When Su Chen woke up, he found himself lying on the ground, surrounded by several people who were watching him.
"Hey, he's awake. It looks like our operation can begin," a bearded man said with a hearty laugh.
"Su, we've all been waiting for you. Why do you always let us down at critical moments?" another person said irritably to Su Chen.
"Haha, I bet five cents that he definitely did something unspeakable last night!" another person teased.
The group burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was lively.
Only Su Chen had a bewildered expression. What was going on?
"Mission released: The host needs to capture the enemy's MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) in Encounter Battle Mode. Upon completion, the host will receive an opportunity to upgrade the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)," the System's voice suddenly resounded.
At the same time, basic information about the people around Su Chen appeared in his mind. He knew that it was the System providing him with some convenience.
"System, where is this place?"
"This is a certain Red Alert dimension, belonging to the civilian version. The host's identity is an ordinary soldier in a squad."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why didn't you give me the Commander's identity this time?"
"Considering the requirements of the mission, the System cannot grant the Commander's identity to the owner. Furthermore, in order to make the mission moderately difficult, the System has suppressed the owner's strength to the peak of the Fourth Order."
Su Chen felt his body and indeed, his strength had been reduced to the peak of the Fourth Order. How could he play with such limited power?
"System, are you secretly planning to change owners?"
"Please rest assured, the peak strength in this world is only around the Fourth Order. The owner is definitely the strongest."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. However, he seemed to have forgotten something.
With his strength reduced to the peak of the Fourth Order, he could no longer single-handedly take on thousands of enemies. If the enemy numbers were too great, he wouldn't stand a chance.
After understanding the situation, Su Chen finally came back to his senses and listened to the Captain, a big man in front of him, who was discussing the attack plan.
Their plan was simple: team would split into two groups and attack the enemy camp from two different directions. They must seize the Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV) before the enemy's MCV deployed!
Upon hearing this, Su Chen blinked. Wasn't the deployment of the MCV instantaneous? Why did it require time?
It wasn't until Su Chen witnessed the deployment of the MCV with his own eyes that he realized it was a slow process in this world.
"Alright, that's the plan. You guys are my most trusted teammates, so we must succeed in this mission!"
After the meeting, everyone walked out of the cave and arrived outside.
As soon as they stepped out, Su Chen shivered from the freezing cold weather. It was really cold.
"It's unexpectedly an icy and snowy climate here. It seems like we're in the north, but I'm not sure if this is Soviet Union territory."
Su Chen analyzed to himself. He knew that even if it was a civilian version of Red Alert, it wouldn't deviate too much. The Soviet Union faction should exist. In that case, the team he was in might represent... the Allied Forces!
He looked at the equipment on his body, and it did resemble that of the Allied Forces.
"Could this team be the Navy SEALs? Is it just a coincidence?"
As they split into two teams and entered the snowy terrain, Su Chen noticed that his clothes slowly changed color, blending in with the surrounding white snow. It was confirmed.
Su Chen never expected that one day he would experience what it felt like to be a Navy SEAL.
Su Chen followed behind the Captain, and the team cautiously moved forward. Whenever they encountered something suspicious, the Captain would make a hand gesture to signal them to stop.
Suddenly, the Captain made a hand gesture, and everyone stopped. Only Su Chen didn't understand the gesture and was a step behind.
"Su, what are you doing?"
One of his teammates, who was bumped by Su Chen, whispered.
"Sorry, I was distracted."
The teammate knew it wasn't the time to argue and gave Su Chen a glare before maintaining their position.
After a while, the Captain waved his hand again, and they continued forward.
Su Chen realized for the first time that being a Navy SEAL was actually quite fun. With his strength, he could perform any difficult action. They even encountered a patrol team, and if it weren't for Su Chen's quick reflexes in pulling someone back, they might have been exposed.
"That looks like a Rhino Tank, but it seems slightly different in appearance. The Soviet Union's clothing style is also different from what I remember. Could it be that this is a modified civilian version?" (To be continued...)
