Chapter 14 Mechanical Prosthetics
"Laun, congratulations on your successful inauguration. Your [Windrunner] profession has a wide range of alchemy equipment main materials suitable for you. Our main target this time is 'Lightning Lizard' or 'Crypt Horn Dog'. These two are There are a lot of them in the shallow layer of the monster burrow, and as long as you are lucky, you have a high chance of getting cursed materials.”
"Yes. If you encounter a 'strange-level' aberration monster, you may be lucky enough to extract the 'silver quality' cursed material. At that time, I will ask the gang's mechanic to help refine it, Deputy Lawn, you You can become a formal professional.”
"Boss, brothers, don't make fun of me. Buying the inauguration materials and the colonial clothing blueprint has almost spent all my savings. If there is no harvest this time, I will really become a pauper."
"Haha, don't worry, Lieutenant Lawn. If you become a professional, your combat effectiveness will skyrocket. Your initial investment will pay off soon, and we will still have to ask you to take care of us when the time comes."
"."
This is a fully armed hunting team, eight people in total.
They chose to camp among the ruins of a building with a dilapidated guard tower. And the location of this camp happened to be the only way on Su Lun's map.
While chatting, the members of the Defeat Alert suddenly noticed unusual movements deep in the cave and shouted softly: "Be careful, everyone, someone is coming over there!"
The progress in the dark cave was not fast, and it was estimated that it would take four or five days to reach the "city" where the original owner came.
But things were not going well for Suellen.
His food is almost exhausted, and if there is no more supplies, he will probably try to hunt some crypt monsters for food.
But drinking water is a big problem.
Su Lun originally thought that there was an ecological chain underground and there would be no shortage of water.
He walked in the cave for many days and found several puddles and rock crevices where water was seeping. However, the Omniscient Eye's identification showed that they were all "polluted water sources" of varying degrees, which would cause distortion after consumption.
Su Lun also vaguely understood why the water in the bald storage ring was so turbid, but it was drinking water.
Compared with distortion, turbidity is also acceptable.
Su Lun originally thought it would be best to meet some people, buy some drinking water, and ask about the situation. But obviously, meeting anyone in such a remote cave is not a good choice for asking for directions and buying water.
But now, he encountered such a hunting team.
Having seen how ruthless the bald people were, Su Lun didn't think the people in this world were so kind.
But he also had to risk contact with this team.
Because those people also discovered him.
Obviously, the opponent also has people with special abilities who are good at long-distance perception. And before Su Lun saw them, he had already aimed his gun at him.
Su Lun's eyesight was astonishing. When he saw that the sniper on the sentry tower high up had set up a sniper rifle and aimed at him, he had no intention of resisting at all. He raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons. action.
At the waist, there is a wooden box hanging somewhere. With a slight touch, the puppet contained inside can fall out.
Eight men, two snipers, and six more in the camp
Su Lun observed it and had a rough idea.
The range of effect of [Rune Puppet] is only ten meters, and walking over a distance of several hundred meters makes my heart tremble with fear.
But if he chooses to escape, it is estimated that the sniper on the opposite side will probably shoot him casually like a whack-a-mole.
As he walked, he shouted loudly: "I have no ill intentions and just want to exchange for some food and water."
"Boss, he is a human being, not a weird one."
"Well, he seems to be an unlucky guy who is alone."
"Hey, the red musket on the kid's waist, is it the famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost]? Isn't that the gun of "Iron Head" Ivan of the Crow Gang?"
"Well, I saw it too. "Ivan the Iron Head" is a guy who is not easy to mess with"
"."
The team camping in the ruins of the ruined sentry tower was obviously also curious about meeting a lone human here.
After the "bald man" they were looking at did not make any dangerous moves, they allowed him to walk over.
Yes, that "bald head" is Su Lun.
How to quickly change your facial features without plastic surgery?
Su Lun has a very recognizable handsome face, and he is worried that the troubles from his predecessor will burn on him.
It's definitely not possible to go back to the city like this.
Things like mutilation and disfigurement are too purposeful and attract more attention.
Therefore, he decisively used the physical disguise method - shaving his eyebrows.
If anyone has tried it, they will know that the most direct way to make a face suddenly look unfamiliar is to shave off the eyebrows. It is definitely a disfiguring method, and the results are very fast.
Moreover, Su Lun has no idol baggage. To be on the safe side, he even shaved off his hair.
Then I used oil paint to apply eye shadow on myself and create a smoky eye.
He went straight from a gentleman and handsome guy to a punk who looks like a ruffian.
Judging from the clothing of the bald people before, this kind of dark punk style clothing is not strange in this world, and is even mainstream.
Just as Su Lun saw before his eyes, there were several people in this hunting team dressed like this.
Su Lun walked under the incomplete earth wall, and at least ten guns were pointed at his head.
He didn't know if it was because he didn't know enough about steam machinery. He always felt that although the equipment of these guys in front of him was not as sophisticated as that of the bald group, it was much more complicated and had a stronger sense of technology.
They are equipped with various long guns and short cannons, strange-looking mechanical swords, mechanical shields, as well as metal skeletons attached to the whole body for heavy-duty purposes, and backpack-sized steam-powered boilers
Moreover, what is even more surprising is that the two arms of the guy who looks like the "captain" are actually well-made steam-powered mechanical arms!
It's not the exoskeleton-like mechanical arm that Baldhead had before, but a "mechanical prosthetic" that completely replaces the flesh-and-blood arm.
"Did I guess wrong that this is not a magical world, but a cyberpunk world?"
Seeing this, Su Lun began to doubt his previous speculation.
Perhaps, the technology tree of this world has become so skewed that even a very technically difficult field like "prosthetic limb modification" has been developed?
His limited mechanical knowledge left him confused.
How could these worlds of steam technology and magic be connected to high-tech prosthetics that can be driven by nerves?
It was a very intense technological mash-up conflict, as if people in the steam age developed the lightsaber technology of Star Wars. Theoretically speaking, this is technology that is several generations behind.
However, the doubts disappeared in a flash.
Su Lun didn't show much strangeness on his face.
At this moment, the guys on the wall seemed to be very cautious and shouted: "Stop!"
Su Lun stood on the spot very cooperatively.
The captain of the robotic arm asked: "Who are you?" (End of Chapter)
