Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 98 Spider Bomb

After the large troops of the Cross Society arrived, the fire between the two sides immediately escalated.

In this old Lington, where guns are cheaper than drinking water, the gangsters fought like a local war.

Both sides have invested a lot of personnel and equipment, and compete with each other around the "Green Street position", and you come and go.

In the following battles, Kai did not participate due to injury, while Su Lun was still active on the battlefield.

He didn't go to dangerous places, but he was often found in places with many corpses.

But Su Lun didn't perform too well on the battlefield, just like ordinary gangsters, they should fight and run. Because of his super perceptual ability, he can always predict some dangers in advance, but there is no danger.

Fighting is actually burning money.

The conflict between the two big gangs intensified. Not only did the benefactors behind them suffer heavy losses, but more and more big forces were involved. The game between high-ranking families is mostly acquaintances under the entanglement. The more involved, the greater the resistance. In the end, I heard that the major families in the inner city came out to jointly mediate, and it stopped.

The conflict lasted for three days and three nights, with over 10,000 casualties, and the entire Green Street was in ruins.

The vitality of the two major gangsters was seriously injured.

Later, Su Lun also heard about the cause of this inexplicable gang battle, and it was really that Mr. Martin was ambushed and killed. And among those who did it, there was a guy who had awakened the [Red Devil] talent.

Coincidentally, Gron, the "Red Devil" of the Cross Society, was also besieged and killed on the battlefield.

No proof.

There was also "Mad Dog" Hogg of the Steam Party, the cadre who had accompanied Mr. Martin to the negotiations before, and he was killed in full view.

As for the truth, ordinary gang members are not qualified to know.

Su Lun also felt that it was not important.

He even felt that when the "Red Devil" Gron was sent to the outer city to fight, he might have laid the groundwork for this battle.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that Su Lun gained a lot of mechanical knowledge in this war, allowing him to directly change from [Mechanical Introduction (Advanced)] to [Mechanical General Knowledge (Middle Extreme)].

The loot he harvested was enough for him to squander for a long time.

(Mechanical level notes: entry, general knowledge, master, grand master;)

Green Street was turned into ruins, and according to the mediation contract, it temporarily became a neutral site.

No one dared to come to spend, and the benefactors behind the scenes of all kinds of taverns, gambling stalls, and romantic venues have also withdrawn. There is no profit, and no one from the two major gangs takes these bad blocks seriously.

But as the original "hands-on" Kay of Green Street, he seemed a little lonely.

As the captain, he has no territory and no manpower.

In this fight, except for him and Su Lun, everyone on Green Street was wiped out.

It has to be said that the elimination rate of the bottom gangs is really high.

If Su Lun had joined the Cross Society, instead of thinking about being an advanced professional, but going to the tavern Fengyuechang with his salary every day, it would probably be cannon fodder in a certain fire.

After this battle, many legends spread in the underworld in the outer city.

A group of rookies were raised, and a group of old people were buried.

One of them became more and more mysterious. The Steam Party's "Scissorhands" Hawthorne personally admitted that there was a top gunman with a mysterious origin in the Cross Society. It was a veteran firearms expert who knew 【Abstruse · Stacked Shooting】, and killed at least two reorganized teams, as well as two veteran captains "Iron Lung" Durand and "Broken Hand" Parker.

But the rumors have been circulating for a long time, and even the members of the Cross Society don't know who it is.

If Kai didn't tell, no one would know who it was.

After all, everyone on Green Street has been wiped out, and there are very few people in the entire Cross Society who know Su Lun.

It stands to reason that Su Lun killed so many enemies this time, and the rewards for his military exploits are estimated to be in the millions.

But he didn't intend to show off. After all, this conflict had taught him enough lessons. It's not good to be too famous. Kai almost died of his reputation.

But he was reluctant to part with the bounty. Fortunately, the boss Qiantiao knew that Su Lun's marksmanship was good, so he quietly came to ask about the situation, and then sent a considerable bounty.

Su Lun's life returned to normal, but because of the absence of the casino on Green Street, even the patrol mission at seven o'clock every night was gone.

The whole day is free to arrange leisure time.

He lives in the basement he rented every day, training his physical fitness, tinkering with mechanical equipment, and making weird dolls. Occasionally he goes to the shooting gallery next door to shoot targets, and he doesn't let his hands do it.

As for the struggle of the Cross Society, his little gang doesn't care either.

The only bad news is that the soul can be stripped without the nearby arena. If you want to watch a gladiatorial match in another block, you have to run a long way. I heard that the funder behind the Cross Society is preparing a "New Green Street", but it will take some time.

The knowledge gained from this battle was long enough for Su Lun to digest, and he was not in a hurry to find a new arena.

In a flash, it took another half a month, and the situation completely subsided.

Today, in the basement.

Su Lun is wearing stained overalls, working on a new gadget - "spider bomb".

This is the inspiration he found from his eight-armed spider lance colonization outfit.

He wants to design a mechanical bomb that can crawl by itself, equipped with a displacement device and a delayed detonation device.

This kind of bomb can be applied to various complex terrains, climbing walls, drilling holes, and turning. It can climb to some blind spots that cannot be touched by normal bombing.

The mechanical spider on the workbench was roughly formed, and Su Lun concentrated on installing several brass accessories the size of melon seeds.

This is the most critical step, requiring him to connect the explosive device with the mechanical timing system.

Su Lun felt that he was careful enough, but suddenly, white smoke rose from the mechanical spider on the workbench. He murmured inwardly, then quickly took out the explosion-proof cover and put it on the workbench.

Judging from this proficiency, it is obvious that this is not the first accident.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The high-power exhaust device on the workbench snorted, sucking out the large amount of smoke generated by the explosion.

Su Lun lifted the explosion-proof cover, looked helplessly at his failed work, and muttered in his mouth: "No, obviously the 'H2 type quartz timer' is fine, and the 'T3 explosion prototype machine' is also fine. Why? Will it trigger an explosion? Could it be that the wall climbing device I made collided, or something else?"

Fortunately, it is only a test product, and the amount of ammunition is not much. Apart from embarrassing him, it wasn't enough to hurt anyone.

But after the explosion, Su Lun fell into self-reflection and doubt again.

After repeated failures for unknown reasons, he gradually discovered the root of the problem.

Although [Death Harvester]'s ability is strong, he has learned the knowledge of others for several years, or even ten years, in a few months.

But there is also a very big problem, that is, the acquired knowledge is not systematic.

Without systematic study, he couldn't rule out where his problem was.

Just like this explosion, his "experience" tells him that there is no problem, but in fact it explodes, there must be a problem with his "knowledge blind spot".

All the machines he has mastered now are just stripped from the corpses of the steam party in the outer city. Most of them are the practical school of machine use, and there is almost no research and development of the theoretical school, and the knowledge is very biased. Combat experience can also be mastered through actual combat practice. If there is a lack of mechanical theoretical knowledge, it is lacking.

These "knowledge puzzles" are missing a part, just like building a tall building that doesn't know where there are holes.

Although his "knowledge" has reached [Intermediate Mechanical General Studies], Su Lun is not even as good as an introductory apprentice from the Black Tower Academy in the inner city with some basic theoretical knowledge.

"Scattered mechanical knowledge is still a big trouble"

Seeing the failed spider bomb, Su Lun frowned, thinking in his heart: "It seems that I need to learn mechanical knowledge systematically."

Combat knowledge doesn't matter, after all, practice makes perfect, and you can master it with more practice.

But theoretical knowledge is not enough. If there is a gap in knowledge, certain things cannot be connected.

Having gone through nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he is well aware of the importance of systematic learning. He urgently needs a thread to connect the fragments in his mind.

With this thought in his mind, Su Lun instantly thought of someone.

The defected former vice president of the Black Tower Academy, Nicola J. Emily Rich!

In terms of systematic knowledge, who knows more than the vice president of the top alchemy academy in Old Lingdun?

"That gentleman still owes me a favor."

Thinking of this, Su Lun was no longer in the mood to continue tinkering with spider bombs, so instead of dawdling in the basement, he rode his motorcycle to the Black Market in Shadow Lane.

He wanted to leave a message at "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" and used that favor.

Although he only met that Mr. Emily once, Su Lun trusted his intuition.

The man had no ill intentions towards him.

The point is, a person who is being hunted by the Umbrella Organization makes people feel more secure.

If it was just for some systematic elementary alchemy knowledge, Su Lun felt that there was no need to use up this favor.

Finding other channel merchants in the black market is a bit more troublesome, but it can also be obtained. For example, the textbook of the Black Tower Academy, or the apprentice manual of the Alchemy Guild.

Su Lun chose to contact that gentleman because he wanted to maximize the value of this favor.

Because he knew that besides being a top professional who was suspected to be stronger than the president of the Cross Society, Emily also had a deep relationship with the organizers of the black market.

The background of the black market is very mysterious, and the organizer is said to be the real boss who makes the "Umbrella Organization" helpless.

Although Su Lun needs more information to understand the world.

This mysterious alchemy world is like a stunning beauty covered with a veil. Mystery and weirdness endow her with infinite charm and arouse people's desire to explore. He had already lifted a corner of the veil, and he couldn't wait to get a glimpse of the true face.

The structure of the gang, after all, is too small.

He could tell from the previous gang fires. In front of the chaebols in the inner city, no matter how fierce the gangsters are, they are still beasts trapped in a cage.

Su Lun traveled to this fantasy world and wanted to see the scenery on the top floor.

Another consideration is that he wants to know his way to advance to a second-tier professional in the future.
