Apocalyptic Mechanist

The former has methods to probe memories, while the latter can turn decay into magic, such as synthesizing three ordinary Tekkai into an alloy with an overall attribute triple that of iron ore...

After a moment of thought, Jiang Xiao withdrew his mind.

Then, he saw a delicate, slightly immature little face very close to him. Her crimson eyes were like a still lake, quietly watching him.

Being this close meant either a kiss or a fight.

"A fight... cough, no, what's wrong, Xiao Guang?"

"I've finished copying it," Xi Guang pointed to the stack of papers in front of her, over a hundred sheets.

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

Jiang Xiao smiled, "How could that be? If I don't need it now, I'll definitely need it someday."

"Mhm."

Just then, a figure knocked on the second-floor door.

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

"Alright, come in."

A Spark Gang warrior entered and then said efficiently, "A total of forty-two pieces of Source Energy Equipment, thirty-six Tier 1 and six Tier 2. Among them, two can be considered Tier 2 masterpieces, one a healing necklace and one a damage-dealing glove."

Jiang Xiao nodded slightly. Masterpieces referred to equipment that could boost a Tier 2 Peak individual. Like Jiang Xiao's chainsaw sword, its effect could only work on enemies with a strength of 95 points at most.

And the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon was undoubtedly a masterpiece!

Above masterpieces were master-level items, but that wasn't important to him. Master-level items simply had higher amplification ratios, lower consumption, and possessed overload burst effects.

Origin Data could achieve all of that. In his hands, ordinary, masterpiece, and master-level items were all of equal value.

"In that case, these two masterpiece pieces of equipment will go to Xi Guang. They'll be useful. Do the other four Tier 2 equipment include any defensive or long-range gear?" Jiang Xiao asked calmly.

Besides killing and machinery, restoring Xi Guang's strength quickly was also a way to rapidly increase combat power!

If not for the limited conditions, why would a Mechanist engage in close combat?

The Spark Gang warrior immediately replied, "There's only one piece of long-range equipment, a bomb gun type. The rest are all melee weapons."

"Keep the bomb gun, and take the rest to equip the Spark Gang warriors."

At this stage, only long-range equipment was somewhat useful. Melee weapons were fine as long as they existed, and there was absolutely no need for healing or defensive equipment.

The Spark Gang warrior was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"Alright, alright, no need for thanks. What kind of mechanical supplies are there?" Jiang Xiao waved his hand.

"Here's the list."

The Spark Gang warrior didn't recognize many of the mechanical supplies, so he compiled a list of gifts from various gangs for Jiang Xiao to identify.

Taking the list, his gaze swept over it. Within seconds, the few 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. Good stuff."

The ion power generator was not equipment produced in Sin City. It was usually a modified component salvaged from medium to large Rampaging Mech Soldiers.

As long as rocks, grass, and trees were put into it, it could generate power. Its only drawback was that its power output and duration were far inferior to fusion.

The advantage was that the materials needed for power generation were readily available everywhere, making it essential equipment for Primary Civilizations developing new planets.

It had to be said that this power generator came at the perfect time. The black market's power source was from the Wicked Soul Market, and the Wicked Soul Market's own power source came from a Black Mech Gang power plant on the outskirts.

After today, the Black Mech Gang would very likely stop supplying power to this area. Otherwise, the Sin City Council wouldn't have sent this power generator.

The Series Computing Terminal was probably also a modified computing processor from a Rampaging Mech Soldier.

After all, the only high-end machinery accessible on Prison Star were the Mech Soldiers deployed as test subjects.

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

Jiang Xiao was very satisfied with the acquired supplies. Besides these three items, various other parts and metal resources were also abundant. At least he wouldn't lack materials for a long time to come.

"Hmm, good. Pile the mechanical supplies in the black market first. Bring back all the other edible food and medical resources. Oh, and leave some high-concentration nutrient solutions."

"Understood."

Unknowingly, the Spark Gang warrior began to carry out Jiang Xiao's words as orders.

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

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

Hearing Jiang Xiao's question, a ripple appeared in Xi Guang's eyes, and she nodded immediately.

"Okay."

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

A regular Signal Amplifier wasn't difficult to manufacture. One could simply dismantle parts from a Mech Soldier and replace components in the Terminal Goggles.

It had to be said that the materials used in experimental Mech Soldiers were truly solid. The performance of the radar module was at least two tiers higher than that of the Terminal Goggles, and it already possessed a long-range signal docking function!

After the modification, the Terminal Goggles became slightly bulky.

He picked it up and looked at it. Jiang Xiao was slightly disgusted and had no choice but to disassemble and reassemble it again.

Whether you are strong or not is temporary, but whether you are handsome is for life. Moreover, handsome goggles mean comfort!

Before long, a brand-new terminal goggles appeared in Jiang Xiao's hand.

Perhaps "mask" would be a more fitting name.

The whole thing resembled a faceless human face with a slight nasal curve. Its surface was streamlined, exuding a faint black-silver metallic luster, full of mystery and coldness.

The material for the eye area was still the single-sided transparent crystal shell of the previous goggles. From the outside, it looked like metal.

"So cool," Jiang Xiao exclaimed and tried to put on the mask.

The basic goggle visual interface immediately appeared.

Immediately, Origin Data poured into the goggles' radar module, and in the next moment, phantom data signals within a thousand-meter radius appeared in his vision!

Jiang Xiao understood and controlled the Origin Data to latch onto a data signal.

An image of the corridor on the top floor of the Wicked Soul Market building instantly popped up. It was obvious that this perspective came from some surveillance.

He silently marked this type of data signal as surveillance, and Jiang Xiao disconnected, his expression a little surprised.

"I didn't expect it to be so far away. Even if I can't control the Origin Data like an arm, just the ability to interfere and invade is enough."

The improvement brought by the basic data construction exceeded his expectations.

After all, without relying on equipment, Jiang Xiao's Origin Data could only affect a range of twenty to thirty meters at most!

Afterward, Jiang Xiao began to install the ion power generator and computing terminal. By the time he finished, the sun had already risen.

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

"How is it? Did the Kasar Street Block not retreat?" Jiang Xiao wiped his hands and asked Xi Guang, who had finished meditating.

"No."

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

He walked to the window and looked at the empty Yuanjin Black Market, letting out a long sigh. "Did you really think fifteen Electromagnetic Tanks would guarantee your safety?"

"The Sin City Forum is mostly discussing this. The Sin City Council announced the armed configuration deployed in the Kasar Street Block and said your threat was just the arrogance of a bumpkin."

Xi Guang sat on the chair, his legs dangling above the ground, clearly not calm.

"How interesting. Let's see who the real bumpkin is."

Jiang Xiao knew this was a show of force. After all, he had high-profilely threatened all gangs within ten kilometers to get out yesterday. If he couldn't do it, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the deterrence he had built up!

Mental deterrence was also an important measure to ensure the safety of all humankind.

A message came through.

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

#Jiang: Elite soldiers need elite weapons. Systemic combat is what makes them lethal. Leave this to me.#

#Li Yuan: ...Alright, be careful.#

Jiang Xiao closed the terminal.

Prison Star lacked systematic technological equipment. Unlike the martial artists on the Doran in the past, who were equipped with Tier 2 Elite and Master-level gear, with seven or eight pieces of equipment per person.

In the wild environment of Prison Star, which was primarily individual-based, quantity had little meaning.

"Are you ready, Xiao Guang?"

"Mhm."

The necklace around Xi Guang's neck emitted a faint glow, and his crimson eyes were incredibly calm.

"Then let's show Sin City how vulnerable their reliance is."

Dusk, the setting sun cast long shadows.

Kasar Street Block, main outward thoroughfare.

Two Electromagnetic Tanks stood on the rooftops on either side, and twelve alien squads, each numbering a hundred, had established a tight defensive line!

Concrete bunkers, metal shelters, and high-voltage iron nets blocked the entire street entrance and exit.

They wore bulletproof Mech Armor, wielded Electromagnetic Rifles, and over a hundred drones equipped with rapid-fire grenades were on standby.

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

Dense weaponry filled their field of vision!

Even a Tier 2 Elite would not dare to charge head-on. After all, low-level martial artists were strong in Source Energy, not just their physical bodies. Once their Source Energy was depleted, Fixed Machine Cannons could kill a Tier 2 Regular Martial Artist.

Except for Tier 2 Peak individuals like Gulab, who could ignore machine cannons and even rockets with their physical bodies, other alien martial artists could only retreat when facing large-scale armament.

At least, that was the case on Prison Star.
