Late at night, Zhou Yuan left the transport ship and found a private shower room. There were no restrictions on alcohol, so the dinner lasted for several hours and most people were drunk by the end of it. Only now had they all been transported away.
Now, he was going to open the Soul Gift Boxes. He had six level-three gift boxes, four level-two gift boxes, and two level-one gift boxes.
"Let's go!"
[Opened Level One Soul Gift Box, obtained Dark Energy Standard Meson String Ring *1]
[Opened Level One Soul Gift Box, obtained Jumping Frog *1]
[Opened Level Two Soul Gift Box, obtained Micro Hyperspace Particle Drive *1]
[Opened Level Two Soul Gift Box, obtained Infinite Bullet SM Rifle *1]
[Opened Level Two Soul Gift Box, obtained Bionic Spider Tank *1]
[Opened Level Two Soul Gift Box, obtained Purgatory Grenade *1]
[Opened Level Three Soul Gift Box...]
The sound of the system prompt rang out repeatedly as all twelve Soul Gift Boxes were opened.
"These are some good things!"
Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up. The names of these items were all cool, and he knew they were of high quality without even looking at them. After reading the descriptions of each item, Zhou Yuan felt great satisfaction.
The Dark Energy Standard Meson String Ring was like the Variable String Ring, a spatial ring, but this one was higher-end with an internal space of ten thousand cubic meters.
The Jumping Frog looked absurd, a five-meter-high three-legged frog-shaped mecha with only four heavy machine guns for firepower, but its mobility was terrifying. It had hydraulic pistons in its legs that could reach speeds exceeding 200 km/h, and its maximum jump height was 300 meters. It had a small plasma engine and a time matrix generator on its back, which could be used for low-altitude gliding and short-range teleportation within 100 kilometers.
"Amazing, this thing can be used to save my life!"
After obtaining the Jumping Frog, Zhou Yuan became even more determined to save up 800,000 Soul Points to buy the Fund Evolution Liquid. The mecha could come later, and he could use Jumping Frog in the meantime.
Compared to the level-one gift boxes, the level-two gift boxes were slightly inferior.
The Micro Hyperspace Particle Drive was good. It was a hyperdrive that paired well with the Micro Plasma Spark Device, but it wasn't useful at the moment and could only collect dust.
The Infinite Bullet SM-7 Rifle was actually the latest version of the AWM.
The Bionic Spider Tank was just as the name implies, a tank with eight spider legs. Its firepower was slightly worse, but its mobility was high.
The Purgatory Grenade was a nuclear grenade, which looked like a dark red crystal column and had an explosion time of ten seconds. The effective killing radius was one kilometer.
Ten seconds and one kilometer, even if someone gave him two guts, he wouldn't dare to use it.
The remaining six level-three gift boxes weren't very exciting, as the items obtained from them were all conventional military equipment.

"Not bad at all."
After sorting through his loot, Zhou Yuan had many thoughts in his mind. He had accumulated a lot of equipment, both in pieces and in full sets. If he disassembled the full sets and added them to the existing pieces, he would have enough parts to assemble an excellent single-person mecha. But before that, he needed to figure out how to increase his military rank and study more about military industry knowledge.
After returning to Mars, he could rise to the rank of lieutenant, but even that was too low. He aimed to become a colonel, as a colonel would have the authority to command a station and have personal space and time to do whatever he wanted. However, for now, he had no plans to leave the Special Forces.
Setting a small goal for himself to be promoted to colonel, he finished his shower and put on his armor. Instead of leaving the bathroom, he took out some bullets from his ring and scattered them on the ground.
"Rise!" In the next moment, with a solemn expression, he reached out towards the bullets.
"Ting... ting..." Clear and faint sounds emerged as the bullets began to move, lightly bouncing and finally floating up into the air.
"Psychokinetic power!" Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
Since he was already here, how could he not test the newly awakened superpower?
He couldn't test telepathy alone, but he could use psychokinetic power. After some experimentation, he found that using psychokinetic power wasn't difficult, but mastering it would require more practice. His psychokinetic strength was relatively low, possibly due to his brain function not being high enough. He could only manipulate objects weighing less than 50 kilograms, and anything heavier would cause him to lose control.
Despite this limitation, he was already quite satisfied. Taking the first step was the most important, and the following steps would be easier as long as he had enough soul points and various strengthening drugs.
I am the god of medicine!
In the following days, the Hunter Squad received no missions and remained on the starship with over eighty people. The atmosphere gradually became uneasy, and everyone, including Zhou Yuan, felt anxious. They were used to training and fighting bugs, and the idleness was taking its toll.
It wasn't until the eighth day on the starship that they finally received a message from the temporary command center, informing them that their mission was over, and the starship would take them back to the Talis Fortress.
Upon receiving this news, Zhou Yuan inquired with Buck. It turned out that the Strategic Department had given up on capturing the brain bugs. After ten days of searching without any substantial progress, the Strategic Department decided to cut their losses.
However, cutting losses did not mean leaving Pluto. Instead, they planned to turn Pluto into human territory. The starship troops were to conduct a larger, stronger, and longer-lasting comprehensive bombardment of Pluto, followed by the mechanical troops eliminating all visible bugs and wormholes on the surface. Finally, the engineering troops would establish outpost bases and other facilities on Pluto.
However, all of this was unrelated to the Hunter Squad, as this type of work was not within the scope of the Special Operations Forces.
