Senior Mechanic
In the "City of Radiance," the purchasing power of Contribution Points is far greater than that of money.
Furthermore, the city lord's mansion stipulates that certain truly top-tier materials, potions, and other resources must be traded using contribution points.
Gene Source Power cultivation Cultivation Method like "breathing techniques" might be hidden family heirlooms elsewhere, but in this city of hunters, they are top-tier resources that can be traded.
High-level Transcendent individuals possessing advanced Cultivation Method sell these Cultivation Method for Contribution Points, which they then use to acquire more cultivation resources, thus increasing their strength in a virtuous cycle. In this hunting city, strength is always the greatest asset for survival; here, only by becoming stronger can one have the opportunity to acquire more resources!
In the third district, there is a "Extreme Truth Martial Arts Hall" with upturned eaves and tiles, which looks somewhat out of place among the dark Gothic buildings in the city.
To be able to open a martial arts school of several thousand square meters in this city where land is incredibly valuable, one must not only have astonishing wealth, but also a very high social status.
The curator is Capone Gonzalez, a martial arts master who was once famous in the Xid Empire. Legend has it that he came to this City of Radiance in order to break through the limits of martial arts.
His unique breathing technique, "Breath of Lightning," is a top-tier cultivation method within the [Qi Master] level.
With the token given to him by Bazel, Rein met Gym Leader Capone in the gym's reception room.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face, who looks a bit like Master Roshi.
Unlike other Extraordinary Profession, the older Qi Master gets, the more powerful their fighting spirit becomes. The old man in front of me looked very energetic and vigorous; apart from his gray hair, he showed no signs of aging.
Capone was wearing a martial arts uniform, his chest bare, revealing lean but not thin muscles.
He asked Rein, "What's your relationship with that guy, Bazel?"
Rein: "I was once instructed by Senior Bazel, so I would consider him half a disciple."
Capone: "I heard that Bazel was besieged by the Oma Army and died on the Storm Lake?"
Rein: "I don't know."
Capone: "It's a pity. I was thinking that now that I've made a breakthrough in my martial arts, I wanted to have a few more battles with that guy."
Rein listened with a slightly pleased expression; no wonder Bazel had introduced him here.
Judging from his tone, this qigong master in front of me seems to have been able to spar with a legendary figure like Bazel and achieve a fair victory or defeat.
After a brief meeting, the martial arts master lost much interest in Rein.
He had originally thought he would receive news that his old rival Bazel, was still alive.
Unfortunately, no.
Finally, after spending 20,000 Contribution Points and signing a Magic Contract to prevent the Cultivation Method from being leaked, Rein successfully obtained the Gold Quality "Breath of Lightning." Legend has it that it originated from a fragmented copy of an advanced Cultivation Method passed down from an ancient civilization.
His breaths were like muffled thunder and tiger roars, the Qi Flow flowing endlessly and with the force of a thunderbolt. This was far superior to his previous "Holy Shield Knight Breathing Method," increasing the efficiency of accumulating battle qi through meditation several times over.
Moreover, because of the token, he also received a copy of "Practice Insights" written by Grandmaster Carpon himself.
This is the most important reason why Bazel wanted him to visit the curator in person.
The Cultivation Method plus the insights gained—that's what makes a complete cultivation method.
All ordinary people can buy are dry and ineffective Cultivation Method.
Giving you a single set of Cultivation Method is like giving you a classical Chinese text without annotations. How much you can understand depends entirely on your own comprehension and exploration, and you might even go astray in many ways.
Having this "Grandmaster's Insights" is like having a highly skilled expert provide detailed explanations, making the process twice as effective.
You don't need to repeat any of the mistakes that have been made; everything will be done step by step, just follow along and practice.
As for the martial arts skills of fighters, the master said that there are "senior brothers" in the academy who can teach them, and you can just pay Contribution Points to learn them.
You can learn everything from basic martial arts techniques to the legendary Eight Great Ultimate Techniques of the Fighter, with each class costing between 1 and 1000 contribution points.
As long as you have money, Cultivation Method arts techniques are not a problem.
In the fighter category, Cultivation Method and skills are just the first step; the most important process of becoming stronger is through hard work and dedication.
"Selling one Cultivation Method for 20,000 yuan and having 100 people buy it, that's 2 million? That money comes so fast!"
After leaving the dojo, Rein couldn't help but sigh that no matter what industry you're in, reaching the top means huge profits, especially in this City of Radiance.
Any Transcendent person who wants to pursue the path of Qi Master, if they have the means, will definitely want to buy the best cultivation Cultivation Method.
This means that the Extreme Truth Martial Arts Hall has no shortage of buyers.
With few sectarian biases and the availability of "black market" goods from various sources, the high-end market is flooded with a large number of good items, which is one of the biggest characteristics of City of Radiance, which is known as the "hunter's paradise".
The city's high-end auction houses are never short of exquisite items.
In other human cities, high-end resources such as advanced enchanted weapons, high-quality potions, and advanced martial arts Cultivation Method are scarce commodities monopolized by nobles and large merchant guilds.
Those with Transcendent who want to buy will inevitably be exploited at every level.
In this city, as long as you Contribution Points, you can buy good quality goods at low prices.
The method of obtaining Contribution Points by completing the City Lord's Scavenger Mission is far more cost-effective than directly exchanging them for money. Therefore, in this city, the large financial resources of major merchant guilds have lost their advantage; the more they exchanged directly, the more they lost.
The space for exploitation of the hunters has been reduced to a minimum.
Because of this well-established set of "contribution value rules," City of Radiance has attracted more and more free hunters, making this "hunter's paradise" increasingly prosperous.
Rein didn't think much of it; he had to report to Ilubeck's lab that afternoon.
After all, it's my first day as an apprentice, so being late wouldn't be good.
We returned to the sewer laboratory at the bottom of the fifth district.
Rein, familiar with the place, pushed open the laboratory door and went inside.
In the laboratory, besides Dr. Ilubeck who was busy at work, there was also the young mechanic whom I had met briefly yesterday.
Rein remembered that his name seemed to be Karl.
"Grandpa Neto, was there a battle in the lab yesterday? How did your equipment get so damaged?"
"Ugh, it's all that damn werewolf's fault! Karl, can it still be fixed?"
"No problem, it's just some minor external damage."
"Oh, that's good. By the way, little Karl, how's your grandfather's health?"
"The effects of the Golden Liquid are getting weaker and weaker, and he doesn't have much time left to be conscious."
"It seems they've developed drug resistance. Looks like next time we'll have to increase the dosage or switch to a different potion. Sigh, [Golden Liquid] is already the top-tier 'Life Potion' right now; there aren't many alternatives left."
"I believe Grandpa will get better."
"."
When Rein entered the room, the two were chatting.
The young mechanic was on the floor with his repair tools, fixing the instrument that Bazel had broken yesterday. The soldering sparkled and shone, illuminating the entire laboratory with a blue glow.
Rein spoke up and greeted the old spider man, "Teacher, I'm here."
"Um."
Ilubeck pursed his lips, seemingly finding the title grating, but said nothing.
The young mechanic beside him seemed to have heard something unbelievable. He straightened up abruptly, staring at Rein with a look of surprise, and said easily, "Hey, aren't you the same person from yesterday?"
Turning his head, he blinked his big eyes and asked Ilubeck curiously, "Grandpa Neto, you've actually taken on a new disciple?"
Clearly, the little boy knew about the "buttock-piercing" vow, which is why he was so curious.
The old man blushed slightly at the question and replied irritably, "I just found a menial apprentice for the lab."
Karl squinted and smiled mischievously, his eyes full of curiosity.
He looked at Rein, wondering what was so special about this guy that made Grandpa Neto make an exception and take him on as a disciple.
Rein didn't mind the old man's disdain and walked over with a smile.
He then noticed that the mechanical equipment worn by the little boy named Karl looked extremely sophisticated. These high-tech, precision instruments in the lab were the old man's prized possessions; how could he entrust them to a mere boy?
Ilubeck seemed to sense Rein's surprise and introduced, "This is little Karl, my old friend's grandson."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't underestimate Karl just because he's young. If he were to take the certification exam for nuclear mechanics, obtaining the Senior Mechanic medal wouldn't be difficult for him."
Senior Mechanic?
That's awesome!
Upon hearing this, Rein's gaze froze.
Senior Mechanic and Senior Doctor are roughly equivalent; they are both at the very top of the pyramid in their respective fields.
Is this little boy some kind of cheat code, just like me? He's so young and already so amazing?
