Multiple Preparations

The overwhelming aura was almost tangible. Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, several men who had been so aggressive just a moment ago instantly completed the Tiger Landing Pose. The resounding thud of their knees hitting the floor made one wonder if their knees were even intact.

Using her imposing aura to subdue the thugs, Feng Xue calmly continued eating. The scene didn't resemble someone causing trouble; rather, it looked like a gang leader disciplining his subordinates for making a mistake.

Feng Xue vaguely sensed several gazes coming from him; he could clearly feel that someone was taking photos and videos with their mobile phone.

He didn't care at all and calmly ate his meal, while the faces of the thugs kneeling on the ground grew paler and paler.

"Oh, I've got it!"

Carefully controlling his strength to avoid accidentally squeezing out his internal organs, Feng Xue paused slightly in his chopsticks. At that moment, he could clearly feel that his [Strong] Tag had suddenly received a bonus.

"Interesting. The Heavenly Court hasn't even condensed Trait yet, but the [strong] have already reaped the benefits so quickly?"

Although slightly surprised, this was still within Feng Xue's acceptable range. Or rather, the reason she started causing trouble as soon as she arrived in Bailin Country was precisely to try to solidify her Tag.

As it stands, while no new Tag have yet emerged, the existing Tag are proving to be profitable.

"Is it simply a lack of impact, or is it that the world itself is unable to generate new Tag, and can only rely on existing Tag Aggregation Weird Tale?"

Feng Xue pondered for a moment, then suppressed the thought, took out her phone to scan the code to pay, and started walking towards the door.

Actually, verifying this speculation would be a very simple matter. However, as a new-era Weird Tale with extremely high moral standards (for Weird Tale), Feng Xue's moral standards do not allow him to conduct experiments casually, so...

As Feng Xue strode toward them, the thugs kneeling on the ground turned ashen-faced. They struggled to get up and avoid her, but they were like insects trapped in amber, completely unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as the man, who seemed to completely ignore them, walked toward them step by step.

Then...

Snap!

Although it appeared to be just an accidental bump while walking, the thugs were sent flying backward at a speed of over 60 kilometers per hour, as if they had been hit by a dump truck. Listening to their shrill screams and the cracking sounds mixed in, the Bailin Country people, who were quite experienced in fighting, could basically tell that they had definitely suffered fractures.

"Aaaaaah..."

The piercing screams echoed outside the shop like an alarm, but none of the people from Bailin Country came to their aid. Instead, most of them wore disdainful expressions, as if to say, "Is it really necessary to scream like a pig being slaughtered?"

It's not that the people of Bailin Country are cold-hearted, nor that they fear Feng Xue's strength; it's simply because fighting is part of daily life in Bailin Country. Breaking an arm or a leg is common, and a trip to the hospital to apply some medicine will fix it.

The wailing of these thugs is like seeing a tall, strong man crying loudly in the street because he was bumped into.

As for serious injuries...

Are you kidding me? Who could be seriously injured and still howl with such vigor?

But family members know their own situation. Although they didn't seem seriously injured, Feng Xue had actually channeled her Internal Force into their bodies during that collision.

This Internal Force isn't particularly lethal, but it can cause intense, unbearable pain.

Only...

"Oh, this..."

I finally mustered the courage to try the original method used by the Infinite City players, and I did get the Tag, but...

[Demon].

"It's another existing Tag! Can't you guys give it a villain or something?"

Feng Xue sighed helplessly, pondering whether she should change her approach and try to construct a new Trait directly using existing Tag.

Although it sounds a bit troublesome, he actually has quite a few Tag, such as [Pilot] and [Strong], which are all very versatile Tag, and it's not difficult to put together a set.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Xue took out her phone, pretending to make a call, and said to the Haotian Mirror:

Where is the nearest part?

Although she spoke vaguely, Haotian Mirror naturally understood Feng Xue's meaning and immediately said:

"A military-controlled area 320 kilometers from here was delivered three days ago; it is uncertain whether it still exists."

After a moment's thought, Feng Xue immediately said, "Send me a Huanglong Unit."

Do you need a specific model number?

"That classic color scheme, the red, white, and blue one."

"Command confirmed. Is 'Huangyan Dragon' what you requested?"

"That's right, that one, called the Huangyan Dragon? It's not very imposing. Oh well, it'll need some modifications anyway. Just get it here... Hmm, where's the sea or lake around here?"

There is an inland lake 30 kilometers to the southeast.

"Here it is then. How long will it take to deliver?"

Feng Xue thought for a moment, too lazy to take a car, and directly used her light-footed skill to run towards her target.

"It will take about twenty minutes without alerting Bailin Country's air defense system."

"Pretty much, it's just a matter of changing the paint job and adding some Accessories."

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

In the Gaole Industrial Zone Pulu City, Bailin Country, a seemingly ordinary research institute is having an inspection, where a man is talking with the head of the institute.

"This thing is outrageous; it's hard to understand how something like this could be developed on this planet!"

The person in charge, referred to as the "Doctor," shook his head vigorously, looking helpless, and said:

"Its materials and basic concept are very simple..."

"Is there anything wrong with simplicity?" The inspector was quite surprised by this answer, but the doctor sighed:

"This simple design concept, combined with ordinary industrial materials that seem unremarkable, has managed to assemble extreme performance that surpasses our elite mechs. Doesn't that speak volumes?"

Before the man could ask further, he spoke first:

"In short, we only have so few parts right now that we can't see anything significant. If you ask me about the results, I can only tell you that either it has an extremely powerful operating system design, or its Energy System is extraordinary. So, the former requires Onboard Computer, and the latter requires Power Core. Of course, if you could get me a complete arm instead of some broken armor plates, maybe we could study its transmission system or something..."

Seeing that the person in charge had revealed their true intentions, the inspector looked helpless and spread his hands, saying:

"Doctor, you're putting us in a difficult position. The [Heavenly Court] has only managed to shoot down a handful of these mechs so far, and countless research institutes across the country are vying for them. It's already quite an achievement to be able to send you even a complete shoulder armor..."

"Not bad at all! What's there to study about a broken shoulder armor? If I could, I'd rather have a finger with joints!" The doctor glared, but the inspector remained unmoved. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the research institute...

The weather is changing, and I'm not feeling well, so that's all for today.
