Chapter 158: Chapter 106: Break It as Easily as Crushing Dry Weeds (Revised) _3
In space, several small satellites swiftly adjusted their orbits due to the incident, directing their gaze toward the Diaoyu Islands waters to observe the scene.
The Drone flew over the area where the incident occurred, and the sea surface was littered with numerous Japanese crew members. There was also a small lifeboat crowded with people, with many more Japanese crew members clinging to the sides of the boat. Yan Fei refrained from attacking these stranded Japanese crew members, although he very much wanted to do so. He knew that he was definitely spotted by satellites above, and if he attacked those crew members, the images would undoubtedly be captured and he would be labeled a terrorist by the world. Even though he was currently masquerading under the guise of the US Forces, he was bound to be exposed sooner or later. Hence, for the sake of his future reputation, he decided to spare the floating Japanese crew members. Had it been the dead of night, he would have long since fired the Naval Cannon and done away with those cast into the sea.
On the Helong, Little Gu was documenting the entire process of the drone annihilating the Japanese patrol ship and fighter jets. He was extremely excited; in his many years as an Anchor, he had never captured such explosive footage. He could already foresee that these videos would change his life from now on.
After Yan Fei took out the Japanese patrol boats and fighter jets, not only did he earn a large number of Merit Points, but he also vented the resentment in his heart, suddenly feeling refreshed and invigorated. Then, using his Quantum Radar, he detected that Chinese fighters were fast approaching the scene, and he did not want to engage with them. With a swift maneuver, he lowered his altitude and accelerated towards the northeast. It was at that moment that the seawater ahead began to boil and a missile broke through the sea surface, soaring into mid-air toward the Drone.
Yan Fei sneered coldly. While his main targets were the Japanese fighters and patrol boats, the Quantum Radar had been constantly monitoring the activity of the Seawolf attack nuclear submarine beneath the sea surface. He had refrained from attacking the submarine because he did not want to reveal the Drone’s capability to hit submerged targets. Now, the submarine had initiated a close-range attack, launching a sub-launched variant of an anti-aircraft missile at him. But Yan Fei had been attentive to its movements; as soon as the missile was launched, before it even ascended, he had detected it. With a burst of speed, he left the area swiftly.
The missile launched from the Seawolf-class Nuclear Submarine was an Anti-aircraft Missile reaching only 2.5 Mach in cruise speed, primarily meant for air defense operations. To use it against a Drone capable of speeds up to 3 Mach was futile, as it would not even graze a hair of the Drone. But had it not been for the Drone’s Quantum Radar scanning ability, alerting it to the ambush by the lurking Seawolf submarine, it might have been surprised by the Anti-aircraft Missile.
Yan Fei also recognized the formidability of the Seawolf-class submarine; although his Drone now had underwater attack capabilities, the downgraded AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles it carried were absolutely incapable of breaching the Hull of a Seawolf. If it couldn’t penetrate the Hull of the Seawolf, the Drone would not be awarded any Merit Points in its assessment, instead exposing its underwater attack potential. Therefore, Yan Fei had no choice but to simply evade and not engage in fruitless efforts.
Under Satellite Surveillance from outer space, the Drone flew rapidly northeast, apparently heading toward the largest Air Force Base of the United States of America in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. As the Drone continued to fly, a thunderstorm cloud appeared ahead of it. Instead of altering its course, the Drone flew directly into the storm cloud, using the heavy cloud cover to break line of sight with the satellites in space, then quickly dipped its nose downward, submerged below the sea surface, and swiftly changed direction, sneaking towards Shanghai.
The satellites lost track of the Drone as their vision was obstructed by the thunderstorm cloud, and despite the wait, the Drone did not emerge from the storm. On the Chinese side, it was more convenient—they immediately dispatched two Fighter Jets to investigate, but by the time they arrived, aside from the tumultuous dark clouds and lightning, they saw nothing; their onboard radars returned no targets.

Subsequently, reconnaissance aircraft from both the US Forces and Japanese arrived at the area, only to find nothing besides lightning, bewildered about the whereabouts of the F-15 Fighter. Thus, considering the violent thunderstorm below, they could only speculate that the Fighter crashed in the storm. But in their hearts, they did not believe the Fighter would make such a rudimentary mistake and crash due to nature’s fury; surely it was hiding somewhere and they simply couldn’t find it for the time being.
The Drone’s mission was nothing short of perfect: not only did it rescue the Taiwanese fishing vessel, but it also sank a Japanese patrol boat and airplane, earning a great deal of Merit Points.
Yan Fei was very satisfied in his heart. His Auxiliary Brain detailed the Merit Points earned by the Drone:
For launching missiles in the Diaoyu Islands waters and taking down two F-15J Fighter Jets, awarded 1000 Merit Points (500 points per F-15 Fighter); for downing a Sea Patrol Helicopter, awarded 100 Merit Points (100 points per Patrol Helicopter); for sinking a large Patrol Ship, awarded 1500 Merit Points (1500 points for a large Patrol Ship, non-military); for sinking two medium-sized Patrol Ships, awarded 1000 Merit Points (500 points for a medium-sized Patrol Ship, non-military); for killing 32 enemies, awarded 32 points.
Total Merit Points earned from this sortie: 3632 points, bringing the total to 7525 points.
Unbeknownst to many, the Level 4 Drone, with only two sorties, had accumulated a total of 7525 Merit Points. Had it been a Level 3 Drone, it was almost upgraded, requiring only 10000 points. Though the upgrade requirement for Level 4 Drones is a massive 100000 points, which seems far off, the ease with which a Level 4 Drone accumulates Merit Points makes its upgrade process much faster than that of a Level 3 Drone.
Facing the F-15 Fighters, which previously could only be overcome by ambush, the Level 4 Drone was supremely powerful, executing them with an Instant Kill—all as easy and simple as cutting through dry weeds or chopping vegetables.
