Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 98: Spider bomb

     After the large troops of the Cross Society arrived, the fire on both sides immediately escalated.

   In this old Lingdun, where guns are cheaper than drinking water, the gangs fought hard because of local warfare.

   Both sides have invested a lot of personnel and equipment, surrounding the "Green Street Position" to compete with each other, you come and I will go.

   In the following battle, Kay did not participate because of his injuries, while Sulun was still active on the battlefield frequently.

  He doesn't go to dangerous places, but he is often found in places with many dead bodies.

   But Su Lun did not perform very prominently on the battlefield. Just like ordinary gangs, he should fight and run. Because of his super perceptual ability, he can always predict some dangers in advance, but there are also surprises.

   Fighting is actually burning money.

   The conflict between the two big gangs has intensified. Not only are the gold owners behind them suffering heavy losses, but also more and more big forces are involved. In the game between high-ranking surnames, most of them are acquaintances. The more involved, the greater the resistance. Eventually, it was heard that the major families in the inner city came out to mediate together, and it ceased.

   The conflict lasted for three days and three nights, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the entire Green Street was in ruins.

   The two big gangs are badly injured.

   Later, Su Lun also heard about the cause of this inexplicable gang war, and it really was that Martin was killed by an ambush. And among the hands-on people, there is a guy who has awakened the talent of [Red Devils].

   Coincidentally, the "Red Devil" Goron of the Cross was also besieged on the battlefield.

   There is no evidence for death.

   There was also Hogg, the "mad dog" of the Steam Party, the cadre who had accompanied Martin to negotiate before. He was killed in full view.

   As for the truth, ordinary helpers are not qualified to know.

  Su Lun also felt unimportant.

   Even he felt that when "Red Devil" Goron was sent to the outer city to fight, he might have laid the groundwork for this battle.

   But it doesn't matter anymore.

  The important thing is that Su Lun gained a lot of mechanical knowledge in this war, which made him directly change from [(Advanced) Mechanical Introductory] to [(Intermediate) Mechanical Proficiency].

  The spoils he has gained are enough for him to squander for a long time.

   (Mechanical level remarks: Mechanical introduction (beginner, intermediate, advanced), mechanical proficiency, master, grandmaster;)

  ...

   Green Street was beaten to ruins, and according to the mediation contract, it temporarily became a neutral site.

   No one dared to spend money, and the money owners behind the scenes of various taverns, gambling stalls, and Fengyuechang also withdrew. It is unprofitable, and no one in the two big gangs takes these bad neighborhoods seriously.

   But as the former "handling" Kay on Green Street, he seemed a bit lonely.

   This captain, he has no territory and no manpower...

   This time, except for him and Suren, everyone on Green Street was wiped out.

   I have to say that the elimination rate of the bottom gangs is really high.

   If Su Lun joined the Cross Club at the beginning, he didn't want to be advanced professionals, but would go to the tavern Fengyuechang with his salary every day, which is probably the cannon fodder in a certain match.

   And after this battle, many legends have spread on the underworld in the outer city.

   A group of rookies were raised, and a group of old people were ruined.

   One of them became more and more mysterious. The "Scissorhands" of the Steam Party, Hawthorne, admitted personally that there was a top gunner with mysterious origins in the Cross. It was an expert on the veteran firearms of the [Outlandish Multilayer Shooting], who killed at least two reorganized teams, as well as two veteran captains "Iron Lung" Durand and "Anchorman" Parker.

   But the rumors went on for a long time, and even the inside of the Cross Society didn’t know who it was.

   Kay did not say, no one knew who it was.

   After all, everyone on Green Street has been wiped out, and very few people in the entire Cross know Su Lun.

   It stands to reason that Su Lun killed so many enemies in the fire this time, and the rewards for military exploits are estimated to be millions.

   But he didn't intend to show off, nor did he get the money.

   After all, this conflict taught enough lessons. It’s not good to be too famous. Kay almost died in fame.

   But Chijo knew that Sulun's marksmanship was good, so he quietly asked about the situation, and then sent a considerable bounty.

   Suren’s days have returned to normal, but because of the absence of the Green Street Casino, even the patrol mission at 7 o'clock every night is gone.

   All day is freely arranged leisure time.

   He lives in the rented basement every day, training his physical fitness, making mechanical equipment, making puppet dolls... and occasionally go to the shooting gallery next door to shoot targets and prevent his hands from being born.

   As for the struggle of the Cross, his gang does not care.

   The only bad news is that the soul can be stripped of the nearby arena. If you want to watch the gladiatorial match in other neighborhoods, you have to run a long way. I heard that the sponsor behind the Cross is preparing a "New Green Street", but it will take some time.

   The knowledge gained from this battle was enough for Su Lun to digest for a long time, and he was not in a hurry to find a new arena.

   After another half a month, the situation has completely subsided.

  ...

   This day, in the basement.

  Su Lun is wearing smudged work clothes, immersed in a new thing-"Spider Bomb".

   This is the inspiration he found in his eight-armed spider spear planting.

   He wants to design a mechanical bomb that can crawl on its own, equipped with displacement equipment and a delay detonation device.

   This kind of bomb can be applied to a variety of complex terrains, climbing walls, drilling holes, turning... it can climb to blind spots that some people can't reach with bombs.

   The mechanical spider on the workbench has been roughly formed, and Su Lun concentrated on installing a few brass fittings the size of melon seeds.

   This is the most critical step. He needs to connect the explosive device with the mechanical timing system.

  Su Lun felt that he was already careful enough, but suddenly, white smoke appeared from the mechanical spider on the workbench. He secretly said a bad sound, and then quickly took out the explosion-proof cover and put it on the workbench.

   Looking at this proficiency, it is obviously not the first time an accident has occurred.

   "Boom!"

   There was a muffled sound.

   The high-power exhaust device on the workbench hummed, sucking out a large amount of smoke from the explosion.

Su Lun lifted the explosion-proof cover, looked helplessly at his failed work, and muttered: "That's not right... Obviously the'H2 Quartz Timer' is fine, and the'T3 Explosion Prototype' is fine. The question...why did it trigger the explosion? Could it be that the wall climbing device I made was in conflict?"

   Fortunately, it is only a test product, and there is not much ammunition. In addition to making him a little embarrassed, it was not up to the point of hurting others.

   But with this bombing, Su Lun fell into self-reflection and doubt again.

   Repeated failures with unknown reasons, let him gradually discover the root of the problem.

   Although [Death Reaper] has strong abilities, it allows him to learn the knowledge of others for years, or even more than ten years, in a few months.

   But there is also a very big problem, that is, the acquired knowledge is not systematic.

   has not studied systematically, he has completely ruled out where his problem is.

   is like this explosion. His "experience" told him that it was okay, but in fact it exploded. There must be a problem with his "knowledge blind zone".

   All the machinery he has now is just stripped from various corpses, like pieces of Lego bricks, piece by piece.

   But a part of these "knowledge puzzles" is missing, like building a tall building with holes everywhere, which may collapse at any time.

   Don't look at his knowledge level now that he has reached [Intermediate Mechanical Proficiency], but with some basic knowledge, Su Lun is even worse than an apprentice just starting out.

   "It's still a big trouble because the machinery is not a system..."

  Su Lun frowned as he looked at the failed spider bomb, and thought to himself: "It looks like you have to learn mechanical knowledge systematically."

   Combat knowledge doesn’t matter. After all, practice makes perfect, and you can master it with more practice.

   But theoretical knowledge is not good, there is a gap in knowledge, and certain things cannot be connected.

   After nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he is well aware of the importance of systematic learning. He desperately needs a thread to connect the fragments in his mind.

   With these thoughts in his mind, Su Lun instantly thought of someone.

   Nikolai J. Emirich, the former deputy dean of the Black Tower Academy who defected!

  If it talks about systematic knowledge, who knows more than the deputy dean of the top alchemy school in Old Lingdon?

  ...

   "That gentleman still owes me a favor..."

  I thought of here~www.NovelMTL.com~Su Lun didn't have the mood to continue playing spider bombs anyway, so he didn't dawdle in the basement, and rode a motorcycle to the dark market in Shadow Alley.

   He wanted to leave a message in "Rawson's Alchemy Shop" and used that favor.

  Although he has only met Mr. Emily once, Suren believes in his instincts.

   That person has no ill will towards him.

  The key is that a person hunted by the umbrella organization makes people feel safer.

   If it is only for some systematic elementary alchemy knowledge, Su Lun feels that there is no need to use this favor.

   Looking for other channel merchants in the black market, although it is a bit more troublesome, you can also get it. For example, the textbook of the Black Tower Academy, or the apprentice manual of the Alchemy Guild.

  Su Lun chose to contact that gentleman because he wanted to maximize the value of this favor.

  Because he knows that in addition to being a top professional who is suspected to be better than the president of the Cross, he also has a deep relationship with the organizers of the black market.

  The black market background is very mysterious. The organizer said that he was the real boss who made the "Umbrella Organization" helpless.

   Although Su Lun needs more information to understand the world.

   This mysterious world of alchemy is like a stunning beauty with a veil. The mystery and weirdness endow her with infinite charm and arouse people's desire for discovery. He has lifted a corner of his veil, and can't wait to get a glimpse of it.

The pattern of    gangsters, after all, is too small.

   The gang fire before he saw it. In front of the chaebols in the inner city, the gang is a tiger, and after all, it is a tame animal trapped in a cage.

  Su Lun traveled to this fantasy world and wanted to see the scenery on the top floor.

  Another consideration is that he wants to know how he can advance to second-tier professionals in the future.
