Chapter 52 Harvest Day
......
The closer to the cave, the faster Qin Xia's steps became.
He thought that since he disappeared for almost an entire afternoon and night, Angron and Honor would definitely be worried.
They probably felt that they were taken away and punished by the slave owners, or that they were slaughtered for being disrespectful while eating, and they must be very anxious.
Thinking of this, Qin Xia's footsteps became much lighter, and the confusion and solemnity brought to him by the crazy patriarch of the Tarke family also dissipated a lot.
Qin Xia likes the feeling of being cared about by others.
When a security omni-machine sent a signal to the gate and the gate opened, the gladiators all stood up when they saw Qin Xia who was safe and sound, and surrounded him amidst the roar of the gate falling again.
"The person in charge of the arena didn't do anything to you, right?"
"Where have you been?"
Concerns and questions like these filled Qin Xia's ears.
Qin Xia thought that she might be questioned with concern, but she did not expect that almost everyone would come around to ask about her situation, even those who had not spoken a word to him and only made eye contact once or twice. people.
But Qin Xia was not particularly surprised.
The environment of the gladiatorial arena is closed and dangerous. It is the instinct of human beings to stay together for warmth, not to mention the skinner and the Nusa twins and the ten gladiators who later refused to kill. I also fought with the others against the untouchable slaughterer.
It is not unexpected that the friendship between each other has improved so quickly.
"The patriarch of the Tarke family is a lunatic." Qin Xia sighed, then opened his arms, "But as you can see, I am safe and sound, it's just that I did something."
Hearing that Qin Xia is fine, Angron breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who had not had much interaction with Qin Xia silently turned around and left in the corner to do whatever they were supposed to do.
“Follow me.”
Qin Xia spoke softly, and his words were transmitted into the ears of the person he wanted to hear.
There are only four people, Honor, Angron, Kleist, and Yochula.
Including Qin Xia, a total of five people came to the corner of the cave where Qin Xia often sat cross-legged and meditated. Then, as Qin Xia waved his arms, an invisible barrier separated the realm inside the cave.
From the subjective perspective of people outside the barrier, Qin Xia sat in the corner to rest after returning.
Everything is normal for those within the barrier. They can see what Qin Xia is doing and saying.
Since Qin Xia made up his mind to take risks to explore his psychic talent, and after a series of events, especially after the war just now, he has become more and more comfortable in using psychic powers. He does not need to devote himself to some small things. Spend the energy and time to develop a way to use your psychic powers.
"Yochula, the prosthetic body they gave you..." Qin Xia pulled the young gladiator's iron hand, "Is this easy to use? Didn't they make do with a piece of garbage?"
Yo Chula Chula's broken arm was replaced with a new metal prosthesis.
This prosthetic body looks no different from an ordinary person's arm. Even if Qin Xia doesn't get his hands on it, he won't be able to tell that it is made of metal.
“It’s no different from the hand I was born with, and it doesn’t hurt anymore after I put it on.” Yochula said, making clenching and unclenching movements, and said to Qin Xia shows how suitable this prosthetic arm is.
Yochula is still immersed in the joy of having a complete limb again.
Kleist and the others watched Qin Xia caring about Yochula's arm, recalling that shortly after Qin Xia left, a doctor came in to install a prosthetic limb for Yochula, allowing Yochula to enjoy what other gladiators would never be able to do. The treatment enjoyed...
Kleist and Honor exchanged glances, and the former realized that Qin Xia might have made some deal with the patriarch of the Tarke family.
Angron, on the other hand, experienced Jochula's joy, all the joy from Jochula's recovery to the present, and did not notice what Honor and Kleist discovered at this time.
Kleist asked first: "Speaking of you..." "I made a deal with the patriarch of the Tarke family."
Qin Xia put down Yochula's hand, and then looked at Honor, then Kleist and Angron in Yochula's shocked eyes.
Qin Xia has already thought about how to answer when asked about what she has done.
It’s not deception, it’s not making excuses to hide and refuse to explain, it’s honesty.
If you make a deal with the head of the Talco family, you have made a deal, and you don't want to hide it.
This is not a decision made for the current interpersonal relationship and special situation, but because of Qin Xia's habits.
When leading a scientific research team, Qin Xia will use the simplest and most straightforward communication method to exchange information obtained or mastered by each other. If there is no special reason for something, then he will not mince words or deliberately conceal it.
Behaviors such as concealment and ambiguity that are subconsciously done for emotional reasons will be intercepted by rational thinking about whether they are necessary and useful.
"Yochula's arm was replaced."
"There are two other conditions. From now on, we will have a stable supply of medical supplies and no longer need to be responsible for the arena. Bandages can only be obtained on one's whim"
"And we no longer need to fast."
Qin Xia frankly stated these three conditions.
Kleist and Honor were helpless by Qin Xia's frankness.
Yochula was wondering whether it was because of his own affairs that Qin Xia did something he didn't want to do.
"That High Knight? He is our enemy!" Angron couldn't understand, "We have benefited from the transaction, so he obviously also got it, how can you help our enemy?"
"It's a long story." Qin Xia sat down cross-legged, took off the invisibility cloak and laid it flat on the ground. Then he took off the weapons and backpack that were previously covered by the invisibility cloak and placed them on the ground.
Qin Xia then told what happened when he had dinner with the crazy patriarch of the Tarke family, and how he went to a manor, killed people first, and then accomplished the three things he wanted to do.
Everything is described in a straightforward manner.
“I want to make weapons, I want to make something that can hack into the security omnic, and I also want to try the possibility of beheading the slave owner after escaping from the arena.” Qin Xia opened his backpack , "Even if the madman doesn't agree to my three conditions, I will agree to go to the manor to kill people, because this is the only chance I can leave the arena to do what I want to do."
"In short "This trip has been fruitful."
Qin Xia shook out everything in his backpack.
Angron had never seen the gadgets in the backpack. Kleist and Yochula had been slaves since they were children.
Qin Xia didn't expect them to be able to figure out what these things were, so he was going to explain them one by one in person.
But Honor saw it.
“The Fighter machine gun, the Fighter beam cannon, the Fighter energy pistol, the Fighter high frequency cycle sword, these are all Fighter series weapons...”
“The explosives in your backpack are scatter grenades. After landing, it will emit a beam of light that will strike all nearby enemies. If this thing is thrown into a bunker, it will kill everyone inside.”
"And this data pad."
"X-ray eyepiece... did you kill the elites of the Noble Guard?"
Hono played with the heavy machine gun and checked the gun very neatly for damage. , pulled the gun open to check whether there was any residual ammunition inside, because he knew that this kind of machine gun was very easy to misfire.
After putting down the heavy machine gun, Honor picked up the beam cannon, clicked the trigger three times to put the gun body into the stage of charging and activating, and clicked the trigger four times to put the gun body into the deactivated state.
After playing with the two big guys, Honor sighed: "Today is your harvest day."
