Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 35 Distortion Event

A cadre, a captain, and a small gang member, a strange combination, started drinking in the tavern.

The three of Su Lun were drinking, and suddenly, Sam and a few members of the Cross Society rushed into the tavern in a panic, carrying heavy firearms.

They scanned around the tavern, and their eyes caught Kai in the booth in an instant.

Sam didn't see anyone else. He strode over and said eagerly: "Captain, it's not good! Among the few troublemakers we killed before, I heard that one of them was a cadre of the 'Steam Party'." My brother-in-law. I got the news that the guy "Red Hair" Kuntu is coming with a group of people, and he seems to be planning to trouble us! Captain, let's quickly summon the brothers."

The guy said a long string of words in one breath, and it felt like he was almost out of breath.

Gang fights are normal, especially in areas where two gangs have contact.

Originally, this was a very urgent matter.

The enemy is approaching fiercely, and their Cross Society must also gather brothers. Not to mention that there will be a merger, at least it will not be taken advantage of by others.

However, after Sam finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere on the wine table was a bit weird.

In other words, shouldn't the captain slap the table and start shaking people at this time?

But Kay looked very calm.

He even picked up the wine, took a sip from the glass without haste, and then said with a sneer, "Brother-in-law? Hehe. It seems that those guys from the 'Steam Party' are deliberately looking for an excuse to start a war."

Su Lun also remained silent, and glanced at the young gambling addict beside her from the corner of her eye.

If it were any other place, maybe he would have to worry about his own safety.

but now

Qianjo's back was facing the entrance of the tavern. Just now, Sam and the others were only looking for Kai, and didn't notice that the woman on the table seemed familiar.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right now, the big eyes stared small, and only then did he recognize that the big flower arm was a thousand.

"Sister Qiantiao?"

Sam and the others were pleasantly surprised.

Qianjo took a sip from his wine glass and asked lazily, "What happened?"

"That, from the Steam Party"

Sam just wanted to repeat the plot just now, but after seeing Qiantiao's boring expression, he changed his words flatteringly: "Ah, you are here, then it's all right."

Everyone: "."

Not long after, a locomotive roared outside the door, and the notorious "speeder gang" of the Brotherhood of Steam came to Green Street.

Su Lun looked at the well-modified steam Harley motorcycles at the door, feeling a little greedy. Among other things, in the outer city, the mechanical transformation technology is indeed superior to the steam party.

More than twenty guys with modified mechanical prosthetics and armed with long guns and short cannons rushed into the "Elephant Tavern" aggressively, scaring the tavern diners to flee in all directions.

Looking at the posture, it seems that he is here to seek revenge.

But then, a dramatic scene happened.

Before the farce even started, it ended in a bizarre way.

The leading red-haired man saw Kai on the wine table, raised his gun viciously and shouted: "Kay, you."

But before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the woman with big flower arms on the wine table from the corner of his eye, and his complexion changed drastically. The ruthless words he wanted to say were abruptly swallowed by his lips, and then swallowed back.

Hongmao also had quick eyesight and quick hands, and without saying a word of nonsense, he raised the muzzle of the gun and inserted it into the holster on his waist. With a flick of red hair, he immediately turned around and left the tavern, as if he had gone the wrong way.

This scene made the drinkers in the tavern who didn't know the truth look confused.

But the members of the Cross Society laughed and booed constantly, "Hahahaha."

Chijo ignored the leaving steam party members. She is a cadre of the Cross Society, and she hasn't lost her place to trouble a small leader of a rival gang.

The wine was almost drunk, and she said to Kai: "Boy Kai, be more careful recently, those guys from the Steam Party are also coveting Green Street, and there will be no small tricks."

Kai was thoughtful: "Understood, Miss Qianjo."

As for gangsters, they are always fighting and killing.

From the moment they join, they are ready.

On the first day of joining the gang, there were many unexpected incidents, but the following days returned to calm.

At seven o'clock every night, Kay would lead the team to patrol for half an hour, and then disbanded.

The days seem very leisurely.

Even those guys from the Steam Party didn't show up again after that time at the Elephant Tavern.

And the young woman addicted to gambling must appear in the arena every night, pulling Su Lun to gamble together.

But gambling really depends on luck.

Even if Su Lun had a good bet, he couldn't win every time.

Of course, he gambled very small, so winning or losing was acceptable.

But this sister Qiantiao vividly expressed the ups and downs of a gambler.

When she wins, she speaks the truth, such as "stop the loss in time if you lose" and "let it go when you win".

But if you really lose your eyes, you don't care what you do. If you lose once, you will raise your bet, and if you lose again, you will double your bet.

I can't persuade you.

This kind of gambling method also caused her to win more than two million yuan on the first day, but she lost all of it within two days of squandering.

This is also the normal state of gamblers. When they win, they are rich and rich, and when they lose, they are in Qiaodong Street.

However, although this young woman with a gambling addiction is not good at gambling, she has a good character.

She lost everything, except for eating and drinking, but did not ask Su Lun and Kai to borrow a penny.

Su Lun had to go to the arena to harvest soul fragments every day, so he could only gamble with her. So the two of them came and went, and they became very familiar with each other.

Qianjo doesn't have the airs of a big sister, and the two of them can be regarded as half-drinking friends.

It's no wonder that she has a good relationship with the members of the association.

A few days later, Qiantiao lost the last bit of savings in his pocket, and then returned home unwillingly. She planned to do some gang tasks to make money, and made an appointment with Su Lun to gamble in the future.

Su Lun sent off the gang leader, and his own life returned to peace.

Every night he will stay in the arena until dawn, then find a hotel to meditate, practice puppet techniques, and read alchemy classics

Life is regular and leisurely, harvesting souls every day, practicing professional skills, and experience points soaring very fast.

There are 8-10 corpses a day in the arena, and occasionally there are professional gladiatorial matches.

And in the past few days, he has also stripped out a lot of strange abilities, such as "lip language proficiency", "darts", "motorcycle riding skills", "Gwent card skills".

A hodgepodge of skills, everything.

However, he gradually discovered a problem.

That is, after his own gun level and fighting level came up, some of the experience stripped from the corpse became less and less.

Later, he also figured it out. He was close to the level of "advanced firearms proficiency", so naturally it was impossible to learn too much from a "primary proficiency" corpse.

Although there are learning from each other, but not many.

Fortunately, there is no risk, and it can accumulate sand into a tower. The actual combat experience of harvesting a corpse is at least worth half a month of practice.

During this period, Su Lun went to the black market a few more times, but he couldn't find his ideal blueprint for planting. But I heard that a few days later, there will be a boutique auction held irregularly every month in the black market. It is a time when hunters and thieves concentrate on selling goods, and many good things will appear.

He plans to try his luck again when the time comes.

On this day, in the hotel.

With a "bang" gunshot, the lime powder on the wall rustled and fell.

I don't know which unlucky guy got shot.

Although it's not unusual to see it, Su Lun's arm in the room still instinctively trembled when he heard the movement.

The rune pen dyed with blue paint in his hand also deviated from the expected trajectory, like a crooked lipstick, leaving very glaring failure marks on the puppet's body.

"Failed again"

Su Lun looked at the "unrecognizable" puppet drawn by him in front of him, feeling helpless and bitter.

Although he was not easy to be interrupted by the external environment when he was concentrating, he couldn't stand the extremely high frequency of quarrels, fights and gunshots.

Drunk tenants often fight in the corridors of cheap hotels. In this world where everyone has a gun, hands-on almost means a gunfight, which is always scary. And just yesterday, a call girl conspired with an accomplice to shoot and kill a bodyguard in Su Lun's upstairs room. There was another burst of random shooting, and the bullets that pierced the floor almost missed him downstairs.

"It's really hard to find a suitable place to live"

Su Lun sighed slightly, a little fed up with the harsh noise environment.

He was looking for a soundproof, quiet place to live, preferably with a shooting range.

The puppeteer is a rare profession in the first place, and the skills of related professions can hardly be stripped from the gladiators in the fighting arena, only hard training. The two processes of enchanting and glyph are much more difficult than expected, requiring a quiet environment and a lot of time to practice.

Now that he had been disturbed, Su Lun didn't bother with the gunfire anymore.

He looked at the failed puppet in front of him and rolled his eyes. At this moment, he bent the ten fingers of both hands suddenly, as if grasping some invisible object, the puppet suddenly stood up strangely.

It was only half a meter tall, like a bare-bottomed toddler, and then started to walk around the room.

The "click" and "click" sound of wooden joints rubbing against each other sounds a little penetrating.

Su Lun stood on the spot, his hands and fingers beating at high frequency like playing a piano, and the puppet made many movements accordingly. Although it still looks stiff, it can basically perform some combat actions such as punching, kicking, rolling, and stabbing with a knife.

After practicing manipulation for a while, Su Lun stopped after feeling that his finger muscles were stiff.

"call"

He let out a long breath.

He looked at the steel wire wrapped around his finger, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "The steel wire is not thin enough, nor tough enough, and the maneuverability is too low. It is really not easy to find a suitable wire material."

This is already the most suitable material for manipulating puppets that he can find so far, but it is still not satisfactory.

He thought of the picture of Pestoya controlling dozens of puppets at the same time in the ruins of the manor, and easily controlling the bald Ivan with silk threads.

It is also the manipulation of the silk thread, but the effect is very different.

The semi-finished puppet has no suitable steel wires, and the manipulation skills are also very jerky.

As a "Puppeteer" just getting started, he still has a long way to go if he wants to use puppets to form combat power.

But Su Lun has a good mentality, and he can reach this level in a few days. He feels that the progress is not bad.

There were still several hours before work time, and Su Lun originally planned to continue practicing puppet manipulation.

But at this moment, Kai's call suddenly came from the communicator: "All newcomers, gather at the old place, there is a distortion task."

Su Lun didn't dare to delay, checked the equipment and ammunition, and walked out of the room.

And not long after the news of the assembly was sent out, Kuntu, the "Red Hair" of the Steam Party, led a group of people to sneak into the vicinity of Green Street.

A mysterious voice came from the communicator: "Captain Kuntu, it has been confirmed. Kai took a group of newcomers, about 20 people, to Tongzilou."

Thanks to 'Secondary Yuan Yifeng Yeyu' and 'zzb9711' for their great support, thank you.
