Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 17: Steel 10 Character Club

   A group of militants in punk style or black suit and trench coat stood on the city wall.

   There is a clear "Iron Cross" mark on their clothes, which is the gang logo of the "Iron Cross".

   There are people who want to join the gang for various reasons every day in Old Ling Dun, wanted criminals and murderers desperate, people who want to get rich overnight, people who want to obtain extraordinary resources...

   On the high walls, it is often possible to recruit fighters who go to hunt wasteland outside the city.

   The captains of the gang, like to come here to wait and recruit new people.

"I said Kaye, can you kid put your [Blade's Edge] plant away. It has been so showy. Isn't it a joke that our'Cross Club' professionals have never seen the world. They are all captains," Can you stabilize the point..."

   "Hey, Boss Smokey, this is not just a successful integration of plant and equipment, I am a little excited."

"The gang senior assigned you to take care of the three blocks on Green Street. Be careful in the future. There are a lot of gambling stalls and flower fields. Although the oil and water are heavy, the old people in the gang have avoided them. You know why you let you Did the kid pick it up cheaply?"

   "Aren't the guys from the Steam Party like to make trouble lately? It's okay... They dare to cross the line, I promise to cut his head off, haha."

"It's good for you kid to know it in your heart. Not only is it the "steam party" to find faults, but the distortion incidents in the city have also increased recently. You'd better pay attention to it. Tell me where you need help. Recruited today. Newcomer, first pick a few pleasing to the eye..."

   "Thank you, Boss Smokey. Hey, I hope I can receive a few calls today..."

  "..."

   was talking about a middle-aged man with eagle eyes. He was smoking a cigar and lying lazily on a chair.

   Beside him, stood a young man with sharp metal on his hands and feet like "blade".

  Su Lun looked up and saw the two of them. Without hesitation, he walked into the simple iron net box and boarded the city wall.

  ...

   "New here? Want to join our "Cross Club"?"

"Ok."

"What is your name?"

   "Su Lun."

   "What talent do you have for awakening?"

   "[D-016-Eagle Eye]."

   "Oh? Then your marksmanship is pretty good?"

"Okay."

   "Okay, just follow me. You can call me Captain Kay."

"good."

   The process of joining the gang is incredibly simple.

  Su Lun was asked a few simple questions and officially became a member of the "Brotherhood of Steel".

   As expected from the previous interrogation, the gang will not care about your origins. After all, most of the people who join the gang are not clean.

   As long as you work for the gang, no one cares about your past.

   In exchange for hard work, the gang can also provide you with shelter.

   Nobody searched, no one asked too much, no one was troubled...

  Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief, and the storage ring on his body was considered safe. And some of the accident prevention preparations I did before are also useless. This is a good start.

  ...

   Captain Kaye looks a few years older than Suren, but he seems to be an old man who has been in the gang for many years.

   can live in the gang for many years, and they are all capable people.

   This Gekai is also an official "professional". At this moment in the agility system, he combines the highly aggressive alchemy planting equipment-[Blade].

   Su Lun watched everything silently, his eyes shining with expectations and curiosity for this novel world.

   After waiting for a long time, the recruitment of the day is coming to an end.

  There are three other people selected by this Kaye besides Suren.

   One awakened is [D-082-Strong], one is [D-071-Stone Skin], and the other is [D-031-Smell Enhancement], more or less talents that can increase combat.

   "Go, Boss Smoker. I will take the newcomers to the patrol area to show their faces..."

"Ok."

  Kayi led Suren and his group to say hello to the middle-aged man who had never stopped smoking, and walked off the city wall.

   Su Lun remained silent all the time, following behind him, quietly acting as a little transparent.

   This young man named Kay is very talkative, and he seems very satisfied with the new recruits.

As he walked, he handed out one or two stacks of banknotes to several people, explaining: “The welfare in the gang is 20,000 Lisos per month. If there are tasks, we will pay again depending on the situation. Because we are a newly formed team, recently There is no need to go out of the city to hunt wasteland for three months, so you can enjoy it..."

   A few newcomers got the first expensive "salary" so easily.

   Twenty thousand liso is more than half a year's salary of an ordinary factory worker in the city.

  Su Lun was slightly surprised, he didn't know the details yet. But looking at the faintly excited expressions of the three people on the side, they didn't seem to be surprised.

   Pay the salary first and then work. This is an excellent treatment if you have to change your previous life.

   Is this still a gangster?

   After thinking about it, Su Lun understood.

  In the gang, no gang member can guarantee that he will live until next month.

   Sending money first means having fun first.

   If you really want something, it's not a loss.

   Moreover, after joining the gang, there is no restriction, no detention control, or even no restriction on freedom at all.

  Su Lun can even get the money and run away immediately...

   But no one would do that.

  Because he is wanted by the government, he can still join the gang and have a way to survive. If the three big gangs were wanted, Old Lingdon would no longer have any foothold.

   There is only a dead end.

   Therefore, for the vast majority of people, once they join the gang, there is only one way to go to the dark.

   But for Su Lun, the high casualty rate?

  啧啧, it doesn’t matter...

   Compared to facing death, the ordinary world makes him feel more boring.

   His awakened [Reaper] talent wants to become stronger and is destined to deal with death.

   In order to avoid risks, be an ordinary person?

  No, it is really boring to come into such a wonderful and wonderful world, and still fear the end.

  Su Lun looked at his slightly trembling pulse, he knew that "he" also liked the world very much.

  ......

   Su Lun and a few newcomers followed the captain Kaye down the wall and entered the city.

   There are dense shanty towns all over the city. From a distance, it looks like a "Syrian post-war style".

   Like high walls, the reinforced concrete buildings in the city are all ancient products. Thousands of years ago, the battle seemed to have captured this city, and there were dilapidated buildings everywhere.

   On top of this ruin, towering steam chimneys and steel container shanty towns are "new buildings".

   As for the inner city, at the end of the field of vision. There was another high wall separated there, brightly lit. Vaguely visible in the center of the inner city, there is a "black tower" of unknown height.

   The area of ​​the city is very large. Riding on an open-top steam locomotive, you will rush into the city all the way.

   On the locomotive, Su Lun remained silent, observing everything in the city.

  As a traverser, he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all, because he was afraid that people would see that he was completely unfamiliar with this city.

   But probably because Su Lun said that he was awakened by the [Eagle Eye] talent, which can be regarded as one of the most practical combat abilities in the D-level talent. The Captain Kaye seemed to have a fancy to him, and said with special care: "If you are talented, you are very suitable for a career in the popular sequence. I will help you pay attention to the relevant'transfer materials'. If you are fine, meditate more and wait until When the dark spiritual power is full, we will be transferred. We will strive to have two'professionals' in our team..."

   Su Lun responded: "Yeah."

  Kayi didn't say much, and waved his big hand: "Go, take everyone to the patrol area of ​​our team. Aside from other things, beautiful women are absolutely indispensable!"

   With that said, a man's knowing smile appeared on the faces of all the people in the car.

  ...

   Green Street is at the junction of the Wellington area in the east city and the Kunsen area in the south city. Here is one of the three most famous "entertainment areas" in Old Lingdon.

   Because the oil and water are heavy, it is also a place where there are frequent conflicts and disputes between the "Cross Society" and the "Steam Party".

  There are also various gamblers, hunters, desperadoes...

   The order here is chaotic, gunfights and fights are commonplace, and there are hapless corpses on the streets almost every day.

  Su Lun and they stopped in a place that looked like an old steel factory.

get off.

  The leather boots stepped on the dirty ground.

  Su Lun also looked at the dark side of the city curiously.

   Although there is no electricity in this world, there is no shortage of various luminous alchemy products. Not far away, there was feasting, all kinds of neon lights exuding ambiguous colors, and the streets illuminated were all bright.

   This is a gathering place for gangs, and there is a group of people waiting early on the street. Leather clothes, leather pants, iron nails, colorful hair, and firearms that he held like a lighter.

   Su Lun felt that his bald-headed punk style was mixed with these people, and he became a group in an instant.

   "Hey, Captain Kaye, you are back."

   "Oh, these new people look good."

   "Haha, why didn't the captain pick a female player back..."

  "..."

  Kay said hello to those people, and then briefly introduced Suren: "This is Suren, Kieg, Sapa, Andrew... Everyone will be brothers in the future."

   The gang members are not so polite, and when everyone touches their fists, they can be regarded as acquaintances.

   was directly employed on the first day after joining. This is the efficiency of the gang.

  Kayi led Surun's four newcomers and several elderly people, a total of more than ten, and began to patrol the streets.

   Just like the gangsters in the previous life, there is no difference, go to the place covered by them and show their faces.

   "In the future, our task is to come out and stroll around three blocks near Green Street every night. If you have something to do, go wherever you want to go if you have nothing to do..."

  Kay explained the "work content" to the new recruits in Surun.

Then, I posted an alchemy gadget with walkie-talkie function, and said: "This'communicator' is always by your side. I will summon everyone when there is an emergency. You must remember to come over as soon as possible, otherwise it won't help. Show mercy."

   After a pause, he said to a strong man carrying a shotgun on the side: "Sam, you can explain the rules for the newcomers. So that they don't understand the rules and cause trouble."

   That Sam smiled and said, "Okay."

   Su Lun also understood that the job content is very simple, that is, to tour the streets like now.

   Gather at 7 o'clock in the evening, about half an hour "working time" every day. Then make your own arrangements for the rest of the time. Whether it’s gambling or going to a pub, it’s good if people are within this street.

   looks very relaxed.

  ...

   "Hey, boss Clive, business is booming..."

   "Boss Milton, I recently heard that you have a lot of good goods. Remember to save some beautiful ones for me and my brothers tonight."

  "..."

   "Cross Club" controls almost all the casinos on Green Street.

  Kayi's group of people are very familiar with this street, and the old bustards and girls in the overnight shop greeted them enthusiastically.

  Su Lun was also surprised that this seemingly decadent industrial city has such a lively side. The liveliness of these flower fields is not as bad as that of the large bars in the previous life.

   A group of girls with heavy make-up stand on the side of the street soliciting customers. Their exposed clothing, slender white legs, and proud **** are dazzling.

   On the street, there is a strong smell of astringency.

   Bunny girls, cat women's dresses, cheongsam women with slits to the roots of their legs, motorcycle leather jacket women, maid dresses, tied slave style, noble lady style...

  Su Lun also didn't expect that Jiu Ling Dun's clothing style was so rich, almost any kind of **** clothing that can stimulate men's hormone secretion can be seen here.

  The girls are bold and sexy, and they are not stingy to show off their delicate figures. They didn't care about the salty pigs' knuckles that men wandered freely on them. On the contrary, when he enters the towering place, he will laugh and laugh.

   "Oh, Irina, you seem to have gained weight. No, no, no, not disgusting, I mean the **** feels better~"

   "Oh, Lisa, why haven't you seen you recently? Which man did you fool with~"

   "Mua~Captain Kaye, are you coming to play this evening?"

  "..."

  Kayi and a group of old people seem to be familiar with the road, joking all the way through the flowers.

   They are not only local snakes, but also regular customers here.

   Old Ling Dun’s survival rules are cruel, and civilians who cannot engage in combat careers are cheap. Here, you can find a nice girl and enjoy the night for a few hundred li.

   Therefore, the gang’s monthly salary of 20,000 Lisos can even keep people in the gentle village until they are drained.

   Su Lun and a few newcomers got acquainted with each other.

  ...

There are three main streets in the Green District.

   Every corner here is full of violence, affair, and illegal transactions...

   patrolled a street of pure Fenggetsuchang, and then a street of pubs. All kinds of colorful neon signs show a blissful world of drunken dreams...

   This street is full of taverns with a strong industrial style, and steel elements are in every corner of the tavern.

   Su Lun was feeling a bit boring to visit the streets, but he ran into things when he didn't want to.

   Passing by a place called "Elephant Tavern", a middle-aged man with a big brown beard called Kay.

   "Hey, Captain Kaye, you just came here, there is some trouble in my store, I need you to come and see."

The tavern owner led them to the back alley with a frown, then pointed to the half of the **** corpse on the ground, and said, "It should be last night, there was a hapless guy who was drunk and slept in the back alley. Now you have seen it too. , His body was bitten off by an unknown monster..."

   This is the back alley of the pub, filled with all kinds of empty wine bottles. Different from the glamorous surface of the card, it is full of dirty, gloomy and foul...

   Su Lun's eyesight made him see the half of the body clearly. There were jagged bite marks on the corpse, and it looked like it had been eaten by some big monster.

   And along the road on the corner, there are a few dark sewer openings, where the turbid stench comes from.

The boss seemed to be accustomed to it, and he continued to mutter: "Captain Kaye, there seems to be some monster in the sewer... Recently I have been hearing about homeless people missing. It seems that some monsters who cannibalize people have taken them away. Now, it makes people panic...I'm afraid if this continues, it will affect the business of our tavern."

   "Oh, I know the situation. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

  Kay looked at it and kicked the body into a trash can not far away.

   The corpse will probably be cleaned up by a mouse soon, and no one cares who is dead.

  The leather boots rubbed against the ground, and Kay said again: "Boss Chuckman, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate."

   As he said, he didn't stay much, and led Su Lun and his group out of the "Elephant Tavern".

  Walking out of the tavern on the street, a newcomer asked: "Captain, shall we come to investigate later?"

   This is also Su Lun’s doubt, he thought it was their scope of work.

However, Kaye smiled disapprovingly, and replied: "Haha, investigation? The sewer in Old Lingdon is an antique for a thousand years. The structure of the underground is ten times more complicated than that of the road on the ground. No one can figure out the underground. Structure. There are all kinds of monsters and aberrant paradise, who the **** wants to go to that stinking place..."

   After a pause, he looked at the newcomers and said, "As long as the monsters don’t come to the ground, we don’t need to worry about it. With this free time to investigate, we might as well enjoy it..."

   "I see, Captain."

   Obviously, this is exactly what everyone wants.

  ...

   Fengyuechang, tavern, and then gambling stalls.

   A group of people strolled around the place on Green Street, like a dog peeing and proclaiming territory, all showing their faces.

   Not long after, they patrolled to the gambling stall where the underground black punch was hit.

   And when Su Lun saw a cloud of "gray fog" appearing on the corpse of the killed gladiator on the ring, his eyes lit up.

   finally not so boring...

   He knew that he probably had something to do for a long time in the future.
