"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the Xuhuashi stop."
"Please do not get off the train unless necessary. If you encounter suspicious persons or emergencies, please contact the train patrol officer in time!"
As the prompt sounded, the train slowly stopped at the station.
Lu Yuan followed the flow of people out of the platform, looked up and looked ahead, and his eyes lit up.
Although he had searched a lot of information and pictures about Hua Hua Market on the Internet before he came here.
But when he stepped here for the first time, he was still attracted by this dark city where prosperity and poverty coexisted, and chaos and order coexisted.
I only saw the front of the platform.
There are many high-rise buildings, and the buildings are adjacent to each other.
The intelligent aircraft are as dense as a swarm, quickly shuttling between the towering buildings.
On the clean and spacious roads, cool sports cars roared and raced recklessly on the city streets.
Robot companions, Zero mechas, biochemical modifications, and sexy girls wearing heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes, openly soliciting customers on the street...
All these make people feel like they are in a science fiction game. Bo Industrial City!
“It seems that the market is not as chaotic as I thought.”
Lu Yuan clenched the suitcase in his hand and did not relax his vigilance.
After Old Man Li’s painstaking persuasion, he knew very well how much darkness and evil lurked beneath the seemingly peaceful and harmonious surface of this city.
Many ignorant teenagers and girls who came to the market for the first time were deceived by this illusion and subconsciously relaxed their vigilance.
As a result, their whole body organs will be sent to an underground trading place that night.
Not long after Lu Yuan walked out of the platform, a man wearing camouflage uniforms and a peaked cap immediately approached him and asked in a low voice.
"Change from odd to even?"
"Look at the quadrants for symbols."
Lu Yuan answered subconsciously.
"Hello, my name is Wei Dong, Mr. Li said hello to me."
After checking the street code.
The middle-aged man raised his head, revealing a pale, weathered face covered with stubble.
“Hello, Brother Dong, please take good care of me in the future.”
Lu Yuan said honestly and honestly, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Relax, this is the territory of Yunxiao Group, no one dares to mess around in the city."
Wei Dong explained as if he could see the tension and uneasiness in Lu Yuan's heart.
“Yunxiao Group?”
Lu Yuan nodded and silently kept the name in his heart.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the repair shop."
Wei Dong worked vigorously and resolutely. He drove out a two-seater heavy truck from the parking lot and asked Lu Yuan to get in the car.
Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat and placed the suitcase on the right side of his thigh, never letting go of his hand from beginning to end.
Wei Dong glanced at the suitcase, without saying anything else, started the heavy truck and drove towards the city.
The roads in Xuhua City are criss-crossed, like a spider web extending in all directions.
Through the glass car window, Lu Yuan could occasionally see several homeless people lying on a certain street or in front of a certain bar.
They were as skinny as wood, with sallow complexions, saliva flowing from their mouths, and their bodies fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably, like walking corpses.
But there was an unprecedented joy on their faces, as if they were immersed in some kind of human bliss and couldn't extricate themselves.
But the next moment.
There was a garbage truck parked on the side of the road. Two people wearing sanitation uniforms lifted the homeless people one after another, threw them directly into the back compartment, and disappeared.
"Fighting is prohibited in the market during the day, but all kinds of hallucinogenic drugs are extremely common. If you don't want to be like them, don't accept food or drinks from any stranger."
Wei Dong drove the car, He said calmly.
“Thank you, Brother Dong, for reminding me.”
Lu Yuan’s face also became a little solemn.
There are many kinds of hallucinogenic drugs in the interstellar era, with all kinds of incredible effects. Any one of them can permanently damage the neural structure.
If you don't pay attention, even low-level immortal cultivators will become addicted to it.
"There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Xuhua City, and criminals are everywhere. Most of them are within the range of first- or second-level warriors."
"If they don't use mechas, it will be difficult for them to deal with them. What threat do I pose?"
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Xuhua City, as the largest underground black market in Hulao Star, naturally gathers a large number of powerful people.
Along the way alone, Lu Yuan saw many mecha masters, psychic masters, or people with special abilities.
But the next moment.
When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, his muscles suddenly tensed and he subconsciously sat up straight.
Because I only saw it on the other side of the road.
More than a dozen burly men with sturdy bodies were guarding next to a luxury car.
These strong men were wearing black combat uniforms, and their auras were powerful and terrifying. Almost everyone had the strength of a second-level warrior.
Then the car door opened.
A handsome young man in a white suit stepped out of a luxury car, and then walked into a splendid hotel surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
But the reason why Lu Yuan's reaction was so great was because he felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy from the young man.
Can't be wrong.
Since Lu Yuan became a first-level warrior, his perception ability has also been greatly improved.
Even across the road, he could clearly sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the other party.
Although this fluctuation was very weak, it was enough to make Lu Yuan sure.
That young man is definitely a genuine immortal cultivator!
Judging from the scene of people shouting and hugging each other just now.
The other party is suspected to be in Xuhua City and has a high status and identity.
"Do immortal cultivators even exist in Xuhua City? It seems that I have come to the right place."
Lu Yuan's mind was spinning, and many ideas and plans suddenly emerged.
It didn’t take long.
The truck carried Lu Yuan and the two of them and slowly drove into an old neighborhood in the outer ring of the city, finally stopping at an inconspicuous repair shop.
Lu Yuan got out of the car and looked around, and found that compared to the city center with tall buildings, the buildings in this neighborhood were generally relatively low and dilapidated.
Even the ground is full of potholes, and there are a lot of garbage and debris piled on the roadside.
Weidong's repair shop is a small three-story single-family house.
The first floor is the store facade, the second floor is the parts warehouse, and the third floor is the place for eating and sleeping.
“Every inch of land in Xuhua City is valuable, and a loser like me can only stay in a place like this.”
Wei Dong laughed at himself, his tone a little lonely.
In fact, Lu Yuan was keenly aware of it as early as when they first met.
Wei Dong seems to be injured, and his energy and blood have dropped seriously. In fact, he may even be worse than himself.
But even though he thought so in his heart, he still flattered her at the right time.
“Brother Dong, whatever you say, it’s already great to be able to take root in the market.”
"Master Li is right. You may look honest, but in fact you are smarter than anyone else."
Wei Dong smiled.
"Master Li has been a life-saving grace to me. Since he handed you over to me, I will naturally try my best to take care of you."
"You can tell me anything you want, but The ugly words are ahead. If you cause any big trouble, I can't protect you."
Wei Dong said frankly.
"Brother Dong, don't worry, I understand all the rules."
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement. "Okay, Mr. Li said that you can repair the Zero mecha, then you can stay here with me."
"You can use all the tools, I only charge you for the parts The cost, as for how much you can earn, all depends on your own ability.”
Wei Dong is a straightforward person and doesn’t know how to deal with so many twists and turns, so he just lets Lu Yuan do the work.
Lu Yuan was happy to be free and unconstrained.
The next time.
He goes out for morning exercises every morning, and then takes the urban rail to the market to help customers repair various mechanical equipment or mechas to earn star coins.
Walk until dusk is approaching and then go home before dark.
With his superb skills, Lu Yuan quickly became prosperous and quickly accumulated a large number of customers.
In just half a month, he earned 50,000 star coins, which made Wei Dongdu envious.
Beyond that.
Lu Yuan also collected a lot of useful information.
There are indeed immortal cultivators in Xuhua City, and there is more than one.
However, most of the immortal cultivators are still in the first-level Qi refining stage. As for the second-level foundation-building cultivators, there are very few of them, and almost no one has seen them.
But even the most humble Qi Refining cultivator can be treated as a guest by the Yunxiao Group, and even the second-level warriors are only worthy of being bodyguards!
“If you don’t use mechas, the combat power of immortal cultivators in this world seems to far exceed that of all professionals at the same level.”
“Not to mention who stipulates that immortal cultivators cannot use mechas?”< br>
Lu Yuan’s eyes were deep.
Although every mecha has an intelligent assistance system.
But the higher the physical quality, the stronger the soul strength, and the easier it will be to control the mecha.
According to Lu Yuan's observation, the immortal cultivators in this world are following the path of Fawu practitioners.
Not only is his magic power profound, his soul is powerful, but his body is also extremely strong.
For warriors of the same level, he definitely has a crushing advantage.
“No wonder the Star Alliance must guard against immortal cultivators. Even without turning on the mecha, an immortal cultivator can unleash incredible lethality.”
Lu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of understanding.
However, although immortal cultivators are powerful in combat, they consume dozens or even hundreds of times as many cultivation resources as warriors.
The poor learn literature, the rich practice martial arts.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary families to even train a warrior. How can they afford to support an immortal cultivator?
“So for me, the top priority is how to obtain enough cultivation resources.”
Lu Yuan said helplessly.
Although he made a lot of money by repairing mechas during this period, it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge consumption of training.
"I have replenished the experience value of Military Killing Fist, and now it is time to advance other skills."
Lu Yuan moved his mind slightly and brought up his own panel.
[Talent: turning the effect into the cause]
[Number of future results that can be advanced: 1/2]
[Results that have been advanced: Perfect Innate Hunyuan Pile Skill (87% has been completed)]
[Achievements that can be advanced: Gun Master ( Able to use all firearms proficiently), first-level mecha proficiency (master all First-level mecha knowledge), and the sixteen styles of Astra Militarum fighting skills are perfect...]
[Ability mastered: basic mecha proficiency, military killing fist]
"Basic martial arts vs. My strength improvement is limited, so making money is more important.”
Lu Yuan thought for a while and decided to advance [First-level Mecha Mastery] first.
The next moment.
A massive amount of information emerged out of thin air in his mind, making him knowledgeable about all aspects of first-order mechas.
Compared to the Type Zero mecha, the first-order mecha already has a wide range of killing capabilities, and its functions are several times more complex.
If ordinary people could solve most of the problems and malfunctions of the Zero Mecha under the guidance of an old maintenance technician.
Given the complexity of first-level mechas, only professional maintainers who have experienced systematic training and extensive practice are qualified to repair first-level mechas.
Although the Covenant's maintenance factory can handle any failure.
But most of the mechas in Xuhua City are smuggled through other channels and cannot be seen at all.
As a result, this has also created a series of underground workshops and gray industries.
……
A few days later.
While Lu Yuan was busy repairing a robotic arm.
An unexpected silhouette suddenly appeared at the door of the store.
Lu Yuan looked up, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of long, slender, white legs, then a graceful figure, and a familiar female face.
It was Gu Yao who had met him once before.
"Why is it you?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said a little surprised.
But then I thought about it.
Xuhua City was originally the base camp of the rebel party, so it was not surprising that Gu Yao could find him.
“Master Lu, we meet again.”
"I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
A smile appeared on Gu Yao's face and she got straight to the point.
“What’s the deal?”
Lu Yuan did not refuse at the first opportunity.
If the conditions offered by the other party are generous enough, then it is not impossible to cooperate again.
"We plan to ask you to help decipher part of the core code of the Zero Mecha."
Gu Yao walked into the store, pressed a button on the wrist smart brain, blocked all signals, and then whispered.
"Why are you always staring at the core code of the Zero Mecha?"
"Wait! Do you want to privately produce the Zero Mecha?"
Listen to Gu Yao's request.
Even though Lu Yuan had been mentally prepared, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch at this moment.
These rebels are indeed a bunch of lunatics, and they actually want to build mechas privately!
In fact, with the technological level of the Star Alliance.
Other forces can easily build a Zero Mecha by spending only a small amount of resources.
But the core terminal of the mecha is the problem.
The core terminal is equivalent to the heart of the mecha. Without the authorization of the Covenant, no matter how powerful the mecha is, it is just a useless iron skin.
Now, Gu Yao and the others want to cooperate with Lu Yuan to decipher part of the core code and get rid of the control of the Star Alliance!
"To be honest, we have deciphered most of the code, but there are still some difficulties in some places, so we would like to ask for your help."
"As long as you can solve these problems, we I can agree to any conditions you put forward."
Gu Yao said calmly.
"What conditions can you give?"
Lu Yuan asked curiously, not having high hopes for her.
After all, judging from Gu Yao’s various actions.
The rebel party organization she belongs to is not large in scale.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to not even be able to handle a Zero Mecha, and we would have to ask for help from others everywhere.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had to first confirm what remuneration the other party could offer, and then decide whether to agree based on the situation.
"Five million star coins, ten energy potions, and the complete version of the military killing fist."
Gu Yao hesitated for a moment and gave a condition. (End of this chapter)
