Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 34 Tool Man

It is also what Su Lun expected that the senior leaders of the Cross Society would take the initiative to recruit the "Red Devil" Goron.

After all, such a master who was expelled from the inner city is definitely a big help to any gang in the outer city.

It may not only be the Cross Society, but the Crow Gang and the Steam Party are also estimated to be approaching. Otherwise, President Chuck would not let Qianjo, the core cadre of the Cross Society, come to the door in person.

Now Su Lun probably understands the difference between inner city professionals and outer city professionals.

Although professionals in the inner city are definitely stronger than those in the outer city, in the inner city where more than 90% of the resources of the old Lingdun are concentrated, the average combat power of professionals of the same rank is undeniably much higher than that in the outer city.

Such as the rare silver planting blueprints and employment materials in the outer city, they often appear in the inner city auctions, and there are even rarer ancient curses.

After all, the good things that the hunters have picked up from the ruins can only be afforded by the wealthy and powerful.

Over time, the major chaebols must have accumulated a lot of rare-quality alchemy resources.

The resource gap is the fundamental reason for the gap in the combat effectiveness of professionals in the inner city and the outer city.

Just like the "Red Devil" Goron, a bodyguard can get top-level resources, which is unimaginable in the outer city.

In the Elephant Tavern, heavy metal music is deafening.

Su Lun followed Chijo and Kai, found a booth and sat down.

Qianjo waved his hand: "Hey, bartender~ Here are three cups of 'Golden Wheat'!"

The gambling-addicted young woman who won the money was not stingy with her money. She directly ordered the most expensive golden ale in the store.

Each of the three has a large pot.

Because this "Gold Medal Rye" is a good product directly from the inner city winery, the price is not cheap. A jug is about a thousand lisos, which is worth half a month's wages for ordinary workers.

Su Lun didn't taste anything special about this wine, the taste was similar to the ordinary blended whisky in the previous life.

But when he looked at the ingredients of the wine, he also understood that the price of this wine was largely due to its water.

In fact, there is no shortage of water sources in Old Lington, but there is a lack of clean water sources. The groundwater source is mixed with a large amount of dark energy matter, and drinking it directly can easily lead to distortion.

To deal with these pollutants, large-scale water filtration plants are required. I heard that the cost of filtration is very high, and it is also said that it is because of the monopoly of the chaebols. Anyway, only the residents of the inner city are eligible to enjoy truly pure drinking water.

In the outer city, civilians can only enjoy second-class drinking water, and the price is not cheap. The cost of drinking water is also a large part of the living expenses of the vast majority of ordinary people.

After all, Su Lun only joined the gang, and although he felt that Captain Kai and Chijoren were still good enough, they were not too familiar with them.

After being seated, he drank silently and listened to the two of them chatting.

"Sister Qianjo, you said that the guy who escaped went to our Green Street and disappeared nearby?"

"Well, the tracking masters in the gang chased all the way to the next block, and then the traces disappeared. But neither the item nor the [forbidden item] can be put into the storage ring, it is definitely not easy for that guy to escape. We guess, The most likely thing is that he is hiding in a sewer and not afraid to emerge."

"Also, Little Kai, you have been more careful with your brothers recently. It seems that something has changed at the top of the Black Tower, and the top chaebols in the inner city are turbulent. There are big financial groups behind the Steam Party and the Raven Gang. What will happen."

"Understood, Sister Qianjo."

"."

Su Lun listened, and the two of them talked for a long time without saying what "that thing" was.

Maybe it's a tacit understanding, or maybe they don't know what they've lost.

But Su Lun understood that it should be that "manuscript".

As for the news of the turmoil in the inner city, it seemed to be a matter of another world and had nothing to do with him.

What makes Su Lun more interested is something else, the special item called "forbidden item" in their mouth.

He also understood that the forbidden object seemed to be a large black sickle of about two meters. And the gang of intruders used the sickle to cut open the door of the gang's vault.

Su Lun didn't ask what a forbidden object was, it probably sounded like a cursed object with special effects like [Rune Puppet].

The Cross Society, one of the three major gangsters in the outer city, was able to search for it so vigorously, and Su Lun became more and more curious about the magic of these so-called [forbidden objects].

The only information I know now is that the scythe is large and sharp, and can easily cut through metal gates. And the guy who escaped with the treasure is suspected to be hiding in the sewer near Green Street.

While drinking, a thought suddenly flashed in Su Lun's mind, "Hey, when I stripped away the memory of 'Yin Scorpion' Alberk, it was said that there was a forbidden item hidden in the 'Moon Hotel', and I didn't know what it was. "

Thinking about it, he was slightly ecstatic.

Because there was no room for plugging in, Su Lun was either drinking or playing with the coins in his hand boredly.

At this moment, the copper coin on the back of his hand flexibly flipped between his five fingers, from the tiger's mouth to the gap between the little finger and the end, and back again. The coin showed no sign of falling, no matter how much the hand shook.

This is a direct reflection of his skills skyrocketing after his successful inauguration.

He can now precisely control almost every muscle on his fingers, and the coin seemed to stick to the skin, tumbled deftly, but couldn't fall.

Of course, this is not purely boring to play.

Su Lun is actually practicing a trick that a puppet master must learn - the ten-finger vertical technique.

The most basic manipulation techniques in marionette.

It requires the operator's fingers to be flexible and changeable, and use the subtle shaking of the fingers to control the limbs of the puppet to make certain movements accurately.

Now the technique is good, but the muscle memory is still a bit jerky and needs to be practiced constantly.

At this moment, Qianjo, who was beside him, seemed to notice that Su Lun was a little bored. She raised the cup again and said proudly, "Cheers!"

"cheers."

Su Lun clinks glasses and gullies down a gulp of wine.

Qianjo drinks very boldly, and when he takes a big mouthful of wine, the wine stains will flow down his neck down the corner of his mouth.

Naturally, she noticed Su Lun's behavior of playing with coins, raised her brows, and asked, "What career path do you take as a gunslinger?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

There's nothing to hide about this, even if he did it on purpose.

Although he has already taken office, Su Lun has no intention of revealing his special occupation as a puppeteer.

From time to time, revealing the specialties of some professional hotshots will also make people preconceived that he is a gunner.

On the contrary, the more mysterious it is, the more it will arouse people's curiosity.

Qianjo came to have some interest, and asked in a casual tone: "Are you interested in learning knives with me? Your hands are very dexterous, and you should learn quickly."

Su Lun shook his head and declined: "Thank you, Sister Qianjo, but my awakened talent is [Hawkeye Eye], and a gunman might be more suitable."

Before he has the ability to protect himself, he intends to continue to be his little transparent. What's more, the "knife hand" is not his own career plan.

"Oh, that's a pity."

Qianjo pursed his lips and didn't say much.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said something a little sad, "Boy, don't die so easily. You will definitely have a place in the gang in the future."

This gangster seems to be used to seeing life and death, and in the most plain tone, expressed the most sad expectations.

Don't die.

In the gang, this is the best hope.

Su Lun listened, smiled and nodded: "Mm."

He felt that the big guy's temperament was very appetizing, and his heart was slightly touched.

But sometimes, the plot twists can catch people off guard.

The serious atmosphere had just been set off, and at this moment, Qianjo suddenly put an arm on his shoulder and approached mysteriously, "There is one more thing."

"???"

Su Lun looked straight, thinking it was something serious.

In the next moment, the majestic style of the big man suddenly collapsed.

Qianjoo's eyes suddenly flashed the same green light he had in the casino before, and said excitedly, "Hahaha, it's rare to meet a guy with such good luck in gambling. Let me tell you, generally this kind of good luck will It will last for several days, and tomorrow in the arena, we will see you soon!"

"."

Su Lun's eyes twitched as he listened.

It turned out that she told me not to die so easily, not because of her talent, but because she was afraid that her "lucky tool person" would be gone?

"Pfft~"

Listen, Captain Kai, who was on the side, couldn't hold back, and he spit out a sip of wine, and then burst out laughing.
