The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3947

Chapter 3947 Exceed Expectations

Ves sensed that a lot of funny business was going on at the top. He vaguely suspected that the Five Scrolls Compact may have been responsible for this mischief.

The Compact still bore a huge grudge towards the society that had rejected it. Though the Crown Uprising that initially took humanity by storm was already beginning to fizzle out, it still showcased the enormous power and influence this secretive organization still possessed!

Even the loss of countless sleeper agents did not seem to faze this shadowy cult in the slightest!

The Gate Consortium may have performed extremely strict checks in order to ensure that no terrorists passed through the beyonder gates, but Ves had no confidence that these security measures could actually stop the third-most powerful human organization in existence.

Colluding with aliens sounded exactly like what the Compact cultists would do! They were crazy enough to cross any bottom line and violate any taboo as long as it advanced their interests!

In fact, some of the worshippers of the Holy Scrolls were so irrational that they didn't even need a reason to betray humanity. They were the true madmen that people ought to fear!

Though Ves was curious to learn more about what was going on at the front, Jovy did not share any further information about the ongoing invasion.

"Our unseen enemies may be trying to fool around, but that doesn't mean that our Association is doing nothing. We have many ways to respond to these major developments." Jovy confidently stated.

"Well, good luck with that. I hope that all of these messes will get cleared up soon."

They soon moved on to discussing a more vital topic.

First, Jovy activated his comm and initiated a transfer.

Ves looked at his own comm as it sounded a beep. When he activated it to see what had changed, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

The amount of MTA merits in his name had changed!

According to the log, he only retained 1,025,342 MTA merits just a while ago. He used to possess a bit more but spent tens of thousands of MTA merits on various high-tech gadgets and minor services in the past few months.

Now, he gained 216,140,000 MTA merits on top of that, which was an astronomical sum even for a Master Mech Designer!

"I have a total of 217,185,342 MTA merits!"

His mouth went dry as he carefully verified the numbers. He performed the math in his head and with the help of his cranial implant in order to make sure that he was not a single MTA merit short!

Although the sums were correct, Ves noticed a discrepancy in the amount of MTA merits he received.

While he would never say no to free MTA merits, he distinctly remembered that he should have received less. Had the mechers changed the exchange rate?

"Why did I receive 5 million MTA merits more than what I am supposed to receive according to the contract that I have signed with Master Dervidian?" Ves suspiciously asked.

"Do you remember the other MTA mission that you accepted a while ago? You promised to help a number of our mech pilots break through to expert pilot."

Ves stood up straighter. "Ah, that's correct! Isn't it too soon, though? There are still a couple of years left for me to complete this mission. After several years, only 5 of the 20 MTA mech pilots have achieved their breakthroughs, and they only managed to advance to the rank of expert candidate. A few of them have even died in the last battle!"

"All of that is true, but what you have done is already enough to satisfy our expectations." Jovy smiled. "Isn't this great? You don't have to toil and trouble to make the rest of our mech pilots break through. We have lifted a weight off your shoulders. Not only that, but we have increased the reward despite the limited progress that you have achieved up until this point."

All of this sounded too strange to Ves. The MTA never made it easy for others to take advantage of it. How come it suddenly took the initiative to conclude this mission early and award him a bonus?

Seeing that Ves still couldn't accept this answer, Jovy provided a more comprehensive answer.

"Now that the Transhumanists are able to experiment with your so-called transcendence glow by themselves, they want to conduct much more thorough studies on its effects. In order to gather more data and make better comparisons, it is important that we gather back the mech pilots that have been exposed to the methods of your Larkinson Clan for a while. Does that clarify the situation?"

Ah. That made a lot more sense. If Ves was in their place, he probably would have made the same decision.

Jessica Quentin and the rest of her band had spent so much time with the Larkinson Clan that their chances of breaking through may be greater than other mechers.

In order to verify whether this hypothesis was true, the Transhumanists needed to make comparison studies.

"That explains you have brought back your mech pilots, but why the extra MTA merits?"

"Oh, that's simple. It is both a reward for exceeding our expectations and also as a form of compensation."
