Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 34 Tool Man

It was expected by Su Lun that the top executives of the Cross Society would actively recruit the "Red Devil" Gron.

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

Maybe not only the Cross Society, the Crow Gang and the Steam Party are also probably in contact. Otherwise, President Chuck would not have let Qianjo, the core cadre of the Cross Society, come to the door in person.

Now Su Lun also roughly understands the gap between professionals in the inner city and professionals in the outer city.

Although professionals in the inner city are not definitely stronger than those in the outer city, the average combat power of professionals of the same level in the inner city, where more than 90% of the resources of Old Lingdun are concentrated, is undeniably much higher than that in the outer city.

For example, silver plant drawings and inauguration materials, which are rare in the outer city, often appear in auctions in the inner city, and there are even rarer ancient cursed objects.

After all, only the rich and powerful can afford good prices for the good things that the wild hunters scavenged from the ruins.

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

The resource gap is the root cause of the gap in combat effectiveness between professionals in the inner city and outer city.

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

In the Elephant Tavern, heavy metal music is deafening.

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

Qianjo waved his hand: "Hey, bartender~ have three glasses of 'Golden Wheat'!"

The gambling-addicted young woman who won money was not stingy about spending money, and she directly ordered the most expensive golden ale in the store.

Each of the three people has a big pot.

This "gold medal rye wine" is a good product directly from the inner city winery, and the price is not cheap. A bundle of pots costs about one thousand lisuo, which is worth half a month's wages for ordinary workers.

Su Lun didn't taste anything special about this wine, it tasted similar to the ordinary mixed whiskey in his previous life.

But after looking at the ingredients of the wine, he also understood that the reason why this wine is expensive is because of the water used in it.

There is no shortage of water in Old Lyndon, just a lack of clean water. There are a lot of dark energy substances in the groundwater source, drinking it directly will easily lead to distortion.

To dispose of 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 chaebol. Anyway, only the residents of the inner city are entitled 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 big part of the living expenses of most ordinary people.

After all, Su Lun just joined the gang. Although he thinks that the captain Kai and Qiantiaoren are both suitable, they are not too familiar.

After sitting down, he drank in silence and listened to the chat between the two.

"Sister Qianjo, you said that the guy who escaped disappeared near our Green Street?"

"Well, the tracking experts 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 hid in a certain sewer and didn't dare to show his head."

"Also, little Kai, you should be more careful with your brothers recently. It seems that something happened to the top management of the Black Tower, and there is a lot of turmoil in the inner city's top chaebol. Both the Steam Party and the Crow Gang are backed by large consortiums. What will happen."

"Understood, Miss Qianjo."

"."

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

Maybe it's a tacit understanding, maybe they don't even know what they 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 made Su Lun more interested was something else, the special item they called "Forbidden Object".

He also understood that the forbidden object seemed to be a big black scythe about two meters long. And the gang of intruders cut open the door of the gang's treasury with a sickle.

Su Lun couldn't ask what the forbidden item was. It sounded like a cursed item with special effects like [Rune Idol].

The Cross Society, one of the three major gangs in the dignified outer city, was so excited to search for it, and Su Lun became more and more curious about the magic of these so-called [Forbidden Items].

The only thing I know of now is that the scythe is so big and sharp that it can easily cut through the metal gate. And the guy who escaped with the treasure is suspected to be hiding in the sewer near Greene Street.

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

Thinking about it, Wei Wei was in a daze.

Because there was no room for interjection, 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 flipped nimbly between his five fingers, from the mouth of the tiger to the crevice of the little finger, and then back from the end. No matter how much the hand shakes, the coin shows no sign of falling.

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

Now he can precisely control almost every muscle in his finger, the coin seems to be stuck to the skin, and it rolls dexterously, but it just can't fall.

Of course, this is not purely boring and playing.

Su Lun is actually practicing a trick that is required for puppeteers - ten-finger twiddling.

The most basic operation technique in marionette.

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

Now the skills are good, but the muscle memory is still a bit jerky and needs constant practice.

At this moment, Qianjo seemed to notice that Su Lun was a bit bored, so she raised her glass again and said proudly, "Cheers!"

"cheers."

Su Lun clinked glasses and took a big gulp of wine.

Qianjo is very bold in drinking, gulping down the wine, the wine stains will run down the neck from the corner of the mouth.

Naturally, she also noticed Su Lun's behavior of playing with coins, raised her brows, and asked, "Are you taking the gunner career route?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

There is nothing to hide about this, even he did it on purpose.

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

From time to time, he shows some professional hot spots, and it will also make people think he is a gunner.

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

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

Su Lun shook his head, and declined politely: "Thank you, Miss Qiantiao, but my awakened talent is [Eagle Eye], and a gunslinger may be more suitable."

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

"Oh, that's a pity."

Qiantiao pursed her mouth and didn't say much.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said something that sounded slightly sad, "Boy, don't die so easily. There will definitely be a place for you in the gang in the future."

This gangster seemed to be used to seeing life and death, and expressed the saddest expectations in the most flat tone.

don't die.

In the gang, this is the best hope.

Su Lun listened and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

He felt that this big guy had a good temper, and was slightly moved in his heart.

But sometimes, the plot turns people off guard.

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

"???"

Su Lun looked serious, thinking it was something serious.

And the next moment, the majestic painting style of this boss suddenly collapsed.

Qiantiao's eyes suddenly flashed the green light from when he was in the casino before, and he said excitedly: "Hahaha, it's rare to meet a guy with such good luck in gambling like you. Let me tell you, usually this kind of good luck will It will last for several days, see you tomorrow in the arena!"

"."

Su Lun's eyes twitched violently.

It turned out that telling me not to die so easily was not to cherish my talents, but to fear that her "lucky tool" would disappear?

"Pfft~"

Listening, Captain Kai on the side couldn't hold back, and spit out the wine in one sip, and then burst out laughing.
