Chapter 609 Batman~~~~ (1966 Edition)

[Detection indicates that you previously received a promise of future products from Billy Gates, the president of the Gates Foundation, in exchange for providing the "Batmobile" to the foundation.]

[You have obtained a special route that allows you to acquire the "Batmobile" DLC vehicle over a longer period.]

You have obtained the 1966 TV series version of the Batmobile.

This vehicle will be considered a separate entity from the standard Batmobile and can be included in the tank collection completion sequence, becoming a requirement for tank collectors to complete the collection.

From a practical standpoint, this Batmobile from the 1966 TV series would probably be almost entirely useless in today's world...

However, in terms of collectible value, it's a different story!

This is the first ever custom-modified Batmobile!

If you ask Cheng Tian about the brand, model, and history of his cars, he won't be able to say a single thing. But if you ask him about the models of four-wheel drive cars, their appearances in various productions, etc., he will know them all by heart.

Clearly, the Batmobile is what Cheng Tian is looking for!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Tian had already gained such special rewards before the Metal Slug mission had even officially begun, and he couldn't help but start playing with it.

This Batmobile is based on the 1955 Ford concept car, the Lincoln Futura. Its appearance has a wonderfully retro yet modern style, much like the retro-futuristic style in the recently released new "Fantastic Four".

Cheng Tian wasn't particularly fond of the ridiculous plot of wandering the Earth and becoming a family, but he really liked the retro-futuristic style of the costumes and props.

"You seem quite satisfied."

Seeing Cheng Tian's attitude, Billy Gates also breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

As players become stronger and the difficulty of dungeons increases, many things have changed dramatically, if not drastically.

The Batmobile derivative vehicles were naturally a very important combat force for Cheng Tian at the time. However, now that the quantity and quality of vehicles have increased dramatically, even if Billy Gates brings out more Batmobile derivative vehicles, it won't significantly improve Cheng Tian's combat power.

As for why Billy Gates knows... don't forget, since the Ikari Warriors can retain their King of Fighters tournament save data, this save data will naturally affect him, a well-informed arms dealer.

Therefore, the spatial rules were adjusted to some extent. Since it couldn't provide any help in terms of combat power, let's change our perspective and start with collectibles.

Don't expect much from the 1966 Batmobile in terms of combat capability, but for a collector, combat capability is practically a secondary attribute.

If Cheng Tian had acquired this classic car earlier, he would definitely have pulled out the classic car instead of the standard version at that exhibition.

"Can this classic car be registered in the country...?"

As Cheng Tian muttered to himself, he already pictured himself driving an old car with the old "batman~~~" background music playing continuously.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to dress up as Robin and go for a ride with me.

After confirming the transfer of ownership, Cheng Tian happily stored the car in his virtual garage.

Before officially entering the base, Cheng Tian also made a series of adjustments to his vehicle storage. Some vehicles that were obviously not needed were removed in advance, and several places were made up to prepare for the arrival of new vehicles.

But just as Billy Gates was feeling pleased with himself for keeping his promise, he saw Cheng Tian mysteriously approaching and whispering a question.

"I have some good stuff here, would you like to take a look?"

Cheng Tian's demeanor was exactly like that of a street vendor hawking CDs. Upon hearing Cheng Tian's words, President Gates' spirits lifted, immediately recalling the ambitious pronouncements Cheng Tian had made in the past.

"plz follow me!"

The president hurriedly led Cheng Tian to a more secluded space, where Cheng Tian pointed to the ground, and a humanoid machine standing on two legs appeared before him.

SVA-30J, Toad.

The president's surprise was not in the structure of the humanoid vehicle, but in its specifications.

In the world of Metal Slug, humanoid vehicles are not exactly rare.

The walking mech "SVX-15D", which can stand on two legs, already had the prototype of a humanoid vehicle. The rebels even used the government army's mechs as a prototype to mass-produce a humanoid exoskeleton armor called "LV Mech".

Unlike the 15D, which is exposed to all weather conditions, the LV mech is fully enclosed and theoretically can even go into space.

It has good mobility and the ability to double jump thanks to the jetpack.

It also features a mechanical claw with both melee and long-range modes, and is compatible with government firearms modules to fire special ammunition.

So far, aside from the fact that this pink thing is a bit big, Gates doesn't really have any other real feeling about it.

However, when he saw Cheng Tian open the hatch and climb into the cockpit, and control the Armor Warrior Earth Federation's earliest transformable third-generation fighter to complete a series of operations such as aerial transformation, modular arm disassembly and installation, and modular shoulder cannon disassembly and installation, his eyes gradually became fanatical.

"So, Mr. Gates, how much are you willing to pay for this?"

Cheng Tian, ​​who had climbed out of the cockpit, said with a smile.

……

After leaving the Gates Foundation building, Cheng Tian headed straight for the airport, taking Eileen with him. Together they boarded a transport plane where the man in sunglasses, Tamma, was already waiting. This transport plane was heading to the individual vehicle parking area.

Meanwhile, the Astartes armored shield guards and the others boarded another aircraft, preparing to take the land interception route.

Upon seeing that Cheng Tian had brought another player (a soldier) onto the plane, Tama, who was wiping her sunglasses, clearly wanted to ask something, but ultimately held back.

Tama, whose discharge applications had been rejected multiple times, didn't have much affection for the government forces. In addition, he and Mark had been rescued from the pyramid by Cheng Tian and others during the last mission, and had received a great deal of help. So he turned a blind eye to Cheng Tian's obviously illegal operation... Of course, if the other party wanted to steal his reserved vehicle, then things would be a different story.

Should I pretend to be outmatched and let them take it, or should I let them take it openly and honestly?
Tamar was also weighing the options in her mind.

Although Cheng Tian and Eileen were temporarily separated from the others, the encrypted walkie-talkies provided by the government forces still provided a relatively good long-distance communication environment, allowing them to communicate in a limited but secure manner while avoiding being monitored by the Modern Army.

Not long after, Cheng Tian, ​​Eileen, and Tama were taken to the designated location, which consisted of two rather inconspicuous shacks, one of which even had birds' nests built on its roof. Hidden inside were two individual flying vehicles provided by the government forces.

SVF-07V, a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) individual combat aircraft.

SVH-03, armed helicopter.

"What are your plans this time—"

Before Tamar could finish speaking, Cheng Tian pulled out a smooth, silver surfboard out of thin air, jumped onto it right in front of him, and then hovered steadily in mid-air.
