Kasar Street Block, I'm Back Again!

The former had ways to probe memories, while the latter could turn decay into magic—for example, combining three ordinary iron blocks into an alloy with three times the attributes of iron ore...

After indulging in his imagination for a while, Jiang Xiao withdrew his thoughts.

He then saw a delicate little face with a hint of childishness close up to him. Her crimson eyes were like a tranquil lake as she quietly looked at him.

Being this close meant either she was about to kiss him or start a fight.

Start a fight... Ahem, no. What is it, Xiao Guang?

"It's already copied." Xiao Guang pointed at the papers in front of her, roughly a hundred sheets.

"Much of the knowledge is fragmented. It might not be of much help to Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xiao smiled. "How could it be? Even if we can't use it now, we'll be able to use it someday."

"Mm."

Just then, someone knocked on the second-floor door.

"Mr. Jiang, the mechanical supplies and Source Energy Equipment have been inventoried."

"Good. Come in."

A Spark Warrior walked in and promptly reported, "There are forty-two pieces of Source Energy Equipment in total: thirty-six Tier 1 and six Tier 2. Two of them can be considered premium-grade—one necklace-type healing equipment and one glove-type offensive equipment."

Jiang Xiao nodded slightly. Premium-grade equipment referred to equipment capable of enhancing a Tier 2 Peak fighter. Like Jiang Xiao's Chainsaw Sword, whose effect could only work on enemies with a maximum Strength of 95 points.

The Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon was undoubtedly premium-grade equipment!

Above premium-grade was Master-grade, but that distinction was unimportant to him. Master-grade equipment merely had a higher enhancement ratio, lower energy consumption, and an overload burst effect.

Origin Data could accomplish all of that. In his hands, ordinary, premium-grade, and Master-grade equipment were all worth exactly the same.

"In that case, give these two premium-grade pieces to Xiao Guang. They're just what she needs. Also, among the other four Tier 2 pieces, are there any defensive or ranged weapons?" Jiang Xiao asked evenly.

Aside from killing and machinery, helping Xiao Guang recover her strength as quickly as possible was also a way to rapidly increase their combat power!

If not for the limited conditions, what kind of mechanist would fight in close quarters?

The Spark Warrior immediately replied, "There's only one ranged weapon, an Explosive Gun. The others are all melee weapons."

"Keep the Explosive Gun. Give everything else to the Spark Gang's warriors."

At this stage, only ranged equipment was somewhat useful. Having melee weapons at all was enough. As for healing and defensive equipment, they were completely unnecessary.

The Spark Warrior froze, then revealed a delighted expression. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"All right, enough with the thanks. What kind of mechanical supplies are there?" Jiang Xiao waved his hand.

"This is the list."

The Spark Warrior did not recognize many of the mechanical supplies, so he had consolidated the gift lists from all the gangs into one list to make it easier for Jiang Xiao to identify them.

Jiang Xiao took the list and swept his eyes across it. In just a few seconds, the mere several thousand words were imprinted in his mind.

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Large Caliber Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon, Medium Ion Power Generator, Series Computing Terminal. These are good things."

The Medium Ion Power Generator was not equipment produced in Sin Capital. It was usually modified from components dismantled from medium- and large-sized Rampaging Mech Soldiers.

It could generate electricity simply by feeding it materials such as rocks and vegetation. Its only drawback was that its power and operating efficiency were far inferior to fusion power.

Its advantage was that the materials needed to generate power could be found anywhere. It was an essential piece of equipment for a Primary Civilization developing extraterrestrial planets.

This Power Generation Unit had arrived at exactly the right time. The black market's electricity came from the Wicked Soul Market, while the Wicked Soul Market itself received its power from a Black Mech Gang power plant on the outskirts.

After today, the Black Mech Gang was very likely to cut off the power supply here. Otherwise, the Sin Capital Council would not have sent over this Power Generation Unit.

The Series Computing Terminal had probably also been modified from the computing processor of a Rampaging Mech Soldier.

After all, the only high-end machinery that anyone on Prison Star could come into contact with was the Mech Soldiers deployed here as experimental subjects.

The Large Caliber Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon should be able to strengthen Black Dragon.

Jiang Xiao was very satisfied with the supplies. Apart from those three items, the various other components and metal resources were also abundant. At least he would not lack materials for a long time to come.

"Mm, not bad. Stack the mechanical supplies in the black market for now. Take all the edible food and medical resources back. Oh, and leave behind some highly concentrated nutrient solution."

"Understood."

Before he knew it, the Spark Warriors had begun treating Jiang Xiao's words as orders to carry out.

After the Spark Warrior left, Jiang Xiao stood up, preparing to manufacture a Signal Amplifier first. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xiao Guang.

"Do you want to go to Kasar Street Block with me tomorrow night?"

Hearing Jiang Xiao's question, faint ripples appeared in Xiao Guang's eyes. She immediately nodded.

"Okay."

Chapter 46: Kasar Street Block, I'm Back Again!

An ordinary Signal Amplifier was not difficult to manufacture. All he had to do was dismantle the relevant components from a Mech Soldier and replace some of the parts in the Terminal Goggles.

He had to admit that the experimental Mech Soldiers were truly made with high-quality materials. The radar module's performance was at least two grades higher than that of the Terminal Goggles, and it already came with a remote signal-linking function!

After the modification was complete, the Terminal Goggles had become slightly bulky.

Jiang Xiao picked them up and looked at them, somewhat displeased. He had no choice but to dismantle them and assemble them again.

Being strong only mattered for a moment, but looking cool mattered for a lifetime. What was more, when it came to goggles equipment, looking cool was equivalent to being comfortable!

Before long, a brand-new pair of Terminal Goggles appeared in Jiang Xiao's hands.

Perhaps calling them a mask would be more appropriate.

They looked like a human face without any facial features, with a slight curve where the nose would be. The surface had an extremely smooth, streamlined appearance, shimmering with a faint black-and-silver metallic sheen and radiating mystery and coldness.

The material around the eyes was still the single-sided transparent crystal shell from the original goggles. From the outside, it looked just like metal.

"Now that's cool." Jiang Xiao praised it and tried putting on the mask.

The basic visual interface of the goggles immediately appeared.

Origin Data then surged into the radar module of the goggles. The next moment, streams of illusory data signals continuously surfaced within the radar's one-kilometer radius, appearing throughout his field of vision!

Jiang Xiao understood. He controlled Origin Data and climbed onto one of the data signals.

An image of the corridor on the top floor of the Wicked Soul Market building suddenly appeared. It was obvious that this perspective came from a surveillance camera.

He silently marked this type of data signal as surveillance, then severed the connection, his expression filled with pleasant surprise.

"I didn't expect the range to be this far. Even if I can't control Origin Data as if it were an arm, simply being able to interfere with and invade things is already enough."

The boost brought by Primary Data Construction had exceeded his expectations.

One had to know that without relying on equipment, Jiang Xiao's Origin Data could affect a range of at most twenty or thirty meters!

Afterward, Jiang Xiao began installing the Medium Ion Power Generator and Computing Terminal. By the time he finished everything, the sun had already risen.

Upgrading the Black Dragon Sniper Rifle was troublesome, so Jiang Xiao planned to deal with it after resolving the matter at Kasar Street Block.

"How is it? The Kasar Street Block people haven't retreated, right?" Jiang Xiao wiped his hands and asked Xiao Guang, who had just finished meditating.

"No."

Within a ten-kilometer radius, only the aliens in Kasar Street Block had not withdrawn.

He came to the window and looked at the completely empty Yuanjin Black Market. Jiang Xiao let out a long breath. "Did they really think that a mere fifteen Electromagnetic Tanks would let them rest easy?"

"The Sin Capital Forum has mostly been discussing this matter. The Sin Capital Council announced the weapons deployed in Kasar Street Block and said that your threat was nothing more than a country bumpkin's arrogance."

Xiao Guang sat in a chair, her legs dangling slightly above the floor. Clearly, her emotions were not calm.

"How interesting. Then let's see who the country bumpkin is."

Jiang Xiao knew very well that this was an attempt to intimidate him. After all, only yesterday he had publicly threatened all the gangs within ten kilometers to get out. If he failed to accomplish that, it would clearly be a heavy blow to the deterrence he had built up!

Mental deterrence was likewise an important measure for guaranteeing the safety of the Pan-Human race.

A message arrived.

#Li Yuan: Does Mr. Jiang need help? The soldiers of the Spark Uprising Army are all elites...#

#Jiang: Elite soldiers need elite weapons. They need to form a combat system to deal damage effectively. Leave this matter to me.#

#Li Yuan: ...All right. Be extra careful.#

Jiang Xiao closed the terminal.

Prison Star had no systematic technological equipment. It was even less like the warriors on the former Doran, who directly armed their same-tier elites with Master-grade equipment from head to toe, carrying seven or eight pieces of equipment each.

In Prison Star's primitive environment, where individuals were the main force, numbers were not very meaningful.

"Are you ready, Xiao Guang?"

"Mm."

The necklace around Xiao Guang's neck emitted a faint glow, while her crimson starry eyes remained utterly calm.

"Then let Sin Capital take a good look at how worthless its reliance is."

At dusk, the setting sun slanted across the sky.

Kasar Street Block, the main road leading outside.

Two Electromagnetic Tanks stood atop buildings on either side, while twelve alien squads, each numbering over a hundred, had formed a tightly guarded defensive position here!

Concrete bunkers, metal barricades, and high-voltage wire fences sealed off the entire street entrance and exit.

They wore bulletproof mech armor and carried Electromagnetic Rifles. More than a hundred drones equipped with rapid-fire grenade launchers stood ready at any moment.

Fixed Machine Cannons, Flat-fire Rapid-fire Cannons, Fixed Laser Hubs...

Dense weapons filled his field of vision!

Even a Tier 2 Elite would not dare charge straight in. No matter what, the strength of low-tier martial artists lay in Source Energy rather than their physical bodies alone. Once their Source Energy was depleted, even a Fixed Machine Cannon could kill a Tier 2 Regular Martial Artist.

Aside from a Tier 2 Peak fighter like Gulabo, who could ignore machine cannons and even rockets with his physical body alone, the other alien martial artists could only retreat when faced with large-scale weaponry.

At least, that was how things were on Prison Star.
