Chapter 133 16. License to Kill
On the morning of the second day of the trading day, Mason carried a box full of alchemy formation blueprints back to the room where Team K was stationed with a fairy-like look on his face. He washed briefly and then went to Old K's alchemy room.
He couldn't wait to try out the formation formation he got yesterday, and by the way, he would modify his redesign of the Anti-Superman armor according to the suggestions of the two brothers.
As for the trade fair, Mason doesn't plan to go today.
Basically, I got all the blueprints that can be obtained by using Krypton Gold Dog Eyes yesterday. The rest are currently unable to be analyzed. Moreover, the two Elric brothers are quite famous wandering businessmen in the Star Club. They have many excellent things on hand. If Mason needs it in the future, he can directly get it from them for free.
Uh.
A more appropriate term should be changed to "industry exchanges".
"By the way, there are still orders from others."
Mason patted his head and took out a pamphlet from his pocket.
That was an "order" that the two Elric brothers got from the Star Club and some places in other worlds. In the past, they were responsible for production and sales. Now Mason has joined their trading team as a "non-staff". , naturally also have to bear a share of responsibility.
This is exactly what Mason wanted. He is now worried about how to transform his production skills into the combat effectiveness of the K team.
Moreover, he had just bought several sets of equipment production lines with forging formations from his brothers on credit. Now Mason needed to work hard to repay the debt.
Hey, why do you feel so much like an office worker with a mortgage?
Depend on!
We're in a different world and we still have to work to pay off debts?
"Let me see, how many healing potions are there? Is this supply to the war zone? There are also various orders for antidotes and weapons. Oh, this one is marked to be given to the rebels in a certain vassal world.
Not bad.
I say I want to stay away from the war, but in fact I am still secretly working against the Council of Stars. Sure enough, there are no simple people who can make friends with me, right? ”
Mason generally analyzed some kind of information conveyed in this order, then unfolded a drawing of the refining array for potions, and took out the components given by the two brothers and created a small one in the alchemy room. Form a formation.
Place the ingredients on the left hand side, including a glass of water.
He holds an alchemy stone on his right hand. Last night, he and Alphonse conducted an experiment to prove that the alchemy stone in Mason's hand can also be used as a conversion medium for the formation.
He now followed the instructions in the introductory booklet of the formation formation strictly, recalling the process of making the healing potion in his mind, and then took a deep breath to start the formation formation.
The red arc light dances rapidly along with the ritual of this prototype. The alchemy stone in the right hand is constantly consumed, while the materials on the left hand side seem to be swallowed into the refining formation.
Mason could feel that these materials were rapidly decomposed in indescribable ways and reorganized into finished potions. Although the entire process was completed in an instant, it was all based on Mason's understanding of the process of making healing potions.
In fact, this is also the rule of alchemy, which simplifies the long-time reaction process of traditional alchemy and transforms materials into finished products in three steps of "understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction".
The "understanding" part is the most important.
If the alchemist himself cannot fully understand what he is doing, then what he produces will be difficult to describe.
"唰"
A pungent smell emitted from the alchemy stone in Mason's hand, and one-third of its shape was consumed. There was already a bottle of completed healing potion on the table in front of him.
Normally, such a potion would take Mason twenty minutes to prepare, but now it was completed in the blink of an eye.
"Complete the production of alchemical items of excellent quality and excellent craftsmanship once, and the alchemy branch skill proficiency is increased by X10. Unlock the 'Fast Refining of Manufacturing Branch' talent.
Notice!
The 'quick refining' talent is suitable for producing repetitive items in large quantities in a short period of time. This technique produces creations of corresponding quality based on the user's understanding of the creation.
You can use this talent to create multiple levels of items at once, but you will only get one skill upgrade, and the chance of high-quality items appearing will be greatly reduced.
This negative effect will weaken as the user's production skills improve.
The current user's alchemy skill is Lv4. At this level, when the 'quick alchemy' skill takes effect, the chance of an item being 'exquisite' or above appearing is 0.01%. ”
A line of reminder jumped in front of Mason's eyes. This reminder was not what he expected.
To put it bluntly, the principle of making an array is a time-saving "flush quantity" method. It is completely understandable that the quality will decrease when the quantity is increased. At Mason's current level, it is not possible to maintain both quality and quantity.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he persists, he can do it one day.
After trying the formation formation for the first time, Mason quickly completed the Elric brothers' orders in batches. With a few more visits, he could pay off the debt for the equipment he bought, and the rest was "making a lot of money."
He planned to get some vibranium and urujin back from the two brothers first, and then find a way to get the Ark reactor in the hands of those two guys.
They boasted that they could find all the materials Mason wanted. If this was true, it meant that Mason would not have to worry about raw materials in the future.
After completing the commercial order, Mason spent some time assembling a forging array for metal creation, and then produced nearly a thousand cursed bullets and various engineering warheads at once.
The more he used it, the more convenient it became.
Finally, I no longer need the painful hand-made bullets. Even dangerous things like alchemy grenades can be made in batches. Of course, making such explosive things requires great concentration.
A slight distraction during this period can easily lead to an explosion accident.
They stayed busy like this until the afternoon. Mason walked out of the alchemy room with a magazine filled with cursed bullets. He happened to see the disheveled Zha Kang holding the tattered clothes and sneaking up on tiptoes. Sneaking into the room from one side.
The two looked at each other.
Mason looked at Zha Kang's neck and the "blood-red strawberries" all over his body, as well as the scratches like leopard claws, and suddenly fell silent. Zha Kang also had a "bad" expression on his face, looking up at the sky in despair. .
After several seconds, Mason whispered:
"What? The car rolled over?"
"It's okay, so-so."
Zha Kang held a cigarette in his mouth with trembling hands, and said with a hard mouth but soft legs:
"It's just an eight-hundred-year-old vampire duchess. Although it is very hot and fatal, what scene have I not seen before? The process was tiring but I still won!
This is a great achievement that a little virgin like you can't even imagine. ”
"I advise you to take a break before bragging."
Mason sighed and said:
"I'm really afraid that you will die suddenly if you say a few more words. Look at you like this. Stay away from me. Even if you stand next to me, I'm afraid that you will suck my yang energy. But before you go to rest, I still have to ask.
You have sold yourself to this point. Have you got the information we need? ”
"Well, we got it all."
Constantine struggled to light up his cigarette, and gasped amid the smoke:
"The feud between Team Amaterasu and that crazy female vampire originated from a mission. They sneaked into the vampire's base world and wanted to steal some legendary things.
It would have been no big deal if I told you.
But those Neon Men had the audacity to try to use the magic of purification and restraint to control my terrible lover and bedmate last night. However, they obviously underestimated the power of a B-class lone ranger, and three guys were knocked over on the spot and then ran away.
My energetic bed partner also gave me a ‘private reward’. ”
Zha Kang pursed his lips and said:
"She said that if I could find a way to kill a few people in Amaterasu's team, she would open her blood treasure house to me and let me pick out a few good things to take away."
"This is going to be a thorn in the side, John."
Mason frowned and said:
"The B-class personnel of the Star Club don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. It will be very troublesome if she reports our actions."
"No!"
Constantine shook his head and raised his right hand. There was already a very bright red rune on the back of his hand. He shook the thing and said to Mason:
"I have signed a contract with her. Using her original blood as a medium is enough to ensure that she cannot leak any information. I think I can do this job.
And you've got your eye on those neon mages too, haven't you?
Although I don’t know how they provoked you, it’s just like hunting rabbits and eating one fish and two, there’s no problem. ”
As he spoke, he threw over a card with various information and specific location of the Amaterasu team. Mason took it in his hand, took a look at it, nodded and said:
"Okay, let's act before we leave tomorrow! I have to make some preparations first, okay?"
The next second, Mason and Zha Kang turned to look at the door at the same time.
The closed door was pushed open, and Ergong, holding a helmet, wearing tattered clothes and carrying shoes, was trying to sneak in sneakily.
When he looked up, he saw four eyes staring at him.
"Are you sick?"
Er Tong was shocked but still maintained his cold-faced evil tone and scolded:
"It's six o'clock in the morning! What are you doing here if you don't sleep?"
"Did you enjoy the boxing sparring last night?"
Mason asked quietly.
Zha Kang was more direct. This guy blew out a smoke ring and pointed at his neck and said:
"Wipe the hickey, thank you.
From my professional perspective, this is left by two different girls. Not bad, Jason, I didn’t expect that a guy like you who is into asceticism would be very popular among muscular female warriors.
Did he roll onto the bed while slapping?
Don't explain, I understand.
I was young too.
I can't help myself. ”
Seeing that it was broken, the second barrel simply stopped loading.
He threw away the shoes in his hand, rubbed his still aching waist and complained in a low voice:
"Those Spartan female warriors are simply crazy! There is no pleasure at all. They use me as a tool to vent their sexual desires. What a shame! What kind of rule is it to not use guns during a fight?
In short, I will definitely win next time! ”
"Don't be so pessimistic. They didn't play with you in vain. Don't you give me a 'tip'?"
The sharp-eyed Zha Kang pointed at the thing stuffed in the pocket behind Er Tong's buttocks and said something. Jason took it out of his pocket belatedly and found that there was a golden exquisite gryphon knife stuffed there.
It is so radiant that it is something extraordinary at first glance.
"Go and take a rest."
Mason shook his head and said to Jason:
"Recharge your batteries and get ready to work tomorrow."
"What?"
Er Tong asked angrily.
Mason glanced at him and said:
"Kill!"
This answer stunned Jason for a moment.
He glanced at Mason, and then at Zha Kang who was smoking with his head lowered. After confirming that they were not joking, his expression became cold, he played with the knife in his hand and asked:
"Good guys and bad guys?"
"A group of traitors who betrayed their hometown and brought about the doomsday, stabbed their companions in the back in exchange for a miserable existence."
The captain glanced back at him and said:
"It happens to be the tragic role played by the League of Assassins in the last incident, what? Will executing such a person cause you a psychological shadow?"
"No, it won't."
A cold smile appeared on Er Tong's cheek with exaggerated hickeys. He moved his neck and said:
"Actually, I have been very bored these days. I hate traitors the most in my life. It's nice to be able to stretch my muscles, but is it really okay to do such a thing in a place like Star Castle?"
“So I need to ‘ask for instructions’.”
Mason took out a bottle of brown owl and drank it. Feeling refreshed, he took a bottle of white honey to relieve the toxicity. Finally, he took off the sorting hat and threw it in front of the two of them, saying:
"Let Hat tell you how wizards fight during this time, and let you prepare. I'll go up there and come back later."
After saying that, Mason turned and left the room and walked into the elevator all the way to Mr. Hunter's office.
"Here are your execution documents."
Seeing that Mason came on time, Mr. Hunter handed him a document and said:
"If you encounter interference from the Cleaners in the world of Sandstorm, give them this order document to prove that you are performing the official mission of the Star Society.
If you act quickly enough, you shouldn't have to deal with those nasty guys. ”
"I'll try my best."
Mason put away the paperwork, looked at Mr. Hunter again, and said:
"I would like to ask, after the establishment of Star Castle, has there been any murder in this castle?"
"Huh?"
This question made the hunter make a surprised nasal sound. She raised her head and said:
"What does this mean?"
"Just curious."
Mason said:
"What if, I mean, if someone commits a crime in the castle and kills someone, what should we do according to the rules?"
Mr. Hunter was silent for a moment and said in a long voice:
"This castle has a wide range of surveillance magic. Theoretically, any private fighting behavior will be detected and stopped immediately. This magic is personally monitored by my fellow warlock, and no one can escape his sight. < br>
But Warlock recently went to the headquarters to report to work.
He'll probably be back by nine tomorrow night. And according to your question, 'if' a murder really happens, I, who is currently staying here, will arrive as soon as possible.
If the murderer can be caught on the spot, he will usually be executed directly.
But if he can't be caught, he should be offered a reward. But I don't think anyone in this castle can escape my pursuit, unless those cunning guys take advantage of noon.
You know, I have a habit of taking my lunch break and I hate being interrupted during those 30 minutes.
Do you have anything else to ask? ”
"No more."
Mason nodded with a serious expression, looked at the time on his watch again, and said:
"I believe no one dares to do bad things during your lunch break. In addition, Team K will leave the Star Castle at noon tomorrow. We will immediately prepare to execute Sandstorm after we return.
The organization cannot tolerate the existence of such a traitor. Let the loyal K Team solve the problem that worries you! ”
"Okay, let's go."
Mr. Hunter waved his hand and reminded when he lowered his head to read the document:
"Do it cleanly this time." (End of Chapter)
