Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 28: Alchemy Planting Blueprint

The captives were assassinated, and the people on Green Street returned to their jurisdiction in disappointment.

Not far from the headquarters of the Black Forest Building, in a basement, a young man was cleaning his beloved sniper rifle.

A few minutes ago, it was with this rifle that he assassinated an important captive of the gang.

Then, because of his identity, he easily shook off the suspicion of the gang members and returned to this basement.

But he didn't escape, as if waiting for something.

Soon, a man in a cloak walked in silently.

The young man seemed to have expected it, and without turning around, he continued to focus on wiping his sniper rifle.

The man in the cloak asked, "Did you get rid of him?"

"Yeah."

The young man nodded.

Then, as if thinking of something, his expression dimmed. "Captain, this is the last thing I promised you. I won't do it anymore."

"Yeah."

The man in the cloak didn't care at all. He came here to kill and silence.

And at this moment, the young man seemed to have guessed something. There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

He put down the cloth in his hand, his eyes trembling with crystal tears. Finally, he glanced at the man in the cloak and said, "Captain, I have paid off my debt to you."

Upon hearing these words, the man in the cloak's gaze slightly chilled, and he fell silent for a moment. "Don't you want to try to escape?"

The young man smiled and shook his head. "You saved my life before, Captain. I am prepared to do this for you. If you don't kill me, I won't have the face to continue in the gang."

"Any last words?"

"None. I have no family, so no one will care if I die. I won't cause trouble for you, Captain."

***

Upon hearing the young man's last words, something seemed to touch the man in the cloak's heart, but he still decisively killed him.

He looked at the corpse, and in his cold eyes, there was finally a slight tremor.

The captured captive had to die.

But he also knew that this was a test from the leader. At that time, whoever killed would definitely be the traitor.

Therefore, a middleman who would not be suspected was needed.

If it weren't for this desperate situation, he wouldn't have wanted to kill the old team member he had brought out with his own hands...

***

Soon, Su'en and Kay's group returned to Green Street.

Returning to the familiar territory, the low spirits of the gang members quickly dissipated. With a hundred thousand yuan in their hands, the next period of time would be their carnival days.

The convoy was still gathering in the alley, ammunition was stored, battle losses were counted, damaged motorcycles were sent to the repair shop, and seriously injured members were sent to the hospital...

There were procedures for gang fights, and everyone was familiar with them.

Soon, all the miscellaneous matters were taken care of.

Captain Kay's mood was still a bit low. He said to the others, "Alright, everyone can do whatever they want..."

Sam and the other veterans couldn't wait any longer and winked at each other. "Captain, can we go now?"

Kay nodded. "Yeah, don't go too overboard, remember to gather for patrol tomorrow on time."

"Got it!"

The veterans dispersed excitedly.

Su'en originally wanted to leave with the crowd, but Kay stopped him.

"You did well in this operation."

Kay praised Su'en's performance and said straightforwardly, "Your marksmanship is good. If you have the intention to become an advanced professional, practice well on normal days. If you meet the requirements for employment, I will mention it to the executives, and the gang will provide certain resources."

"Yeah, thank you, Captain."

Su'en nodded.

However, he didn't place his hopes for employment in the gang, nor did he want to become a "promising newcomer" in the gang.

He already had the materials for the "Phantom Puppeteer" employment and sold the loot from killing the baldies. He probably had enough money for now. He didn't plan to show himself until he had the power to protect himself.

Kay might still be concerned about the captive being killed, so he wanted to chat a bit more, but he didn't have much interest.

"If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties regarding employment as a Transcendent, let me know."

After a pause, a smile appeared on his face. "This mission was hard on everyone. If there's nothing else, Su'en, you should also relax a bit..."

"Yeah."

Su'en didn't say much.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Captain, I have a question to ask you."

Kay raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"

Su'en pretended to hesitate and then asked, "I saw the 'Angel Boss's' alchemy wings before, and they were very powerful. I want to ask... if I have the opportunity to become an advanced professional in the future, is it possible to obtain the blueprints for that kind of implant?"

This was a question he had wanted to ask before. The wing implant was the most appealing to him at the moment, as it could fly and fight. The key was that he felt it was more suitable for his career development compared to implants like "Adamantite Scale" or "Golden Arm Bone."

"Haha, you also think that implant looks cool?"

Hearing this, Kay's eyes suddenly lit up.

He laughed, "Before... I also wanted the 'Thousand Kill Feather Wings' implant from the Angel Boss. I thought it would be cool to fly and use the wings as flying knives..."

It seemed like there was a naive dream in everyone's childhood, but it became unattainable as they grew up.

Kay looked at Su'en and seemed to find resonance.

But suddenly, he changed the topic and said, "But after I became qualified as a professional, I realized it was impossible."

Su'en frowned, not understanding. "Impossible?"

Kay seemed to guess that Su'en misunderstood and explained, "In the gang, as long as you have a certain contribution, you can buy any blueprint from the gang's warehouse at a price lower than the market price. Even the alchemy blueprints of the executives and the leader can be bought!"

Su'en listened without rushing to speak.

This was something he had learned before. As long as he joined the gang and made some contributions, he could buy implant blueprints with money.

This was also one of the benefits of joining a gang.

So he asked that question just now because he was confused about why Kay said it was "impossible."

Kay smiled and explained, "You should know that alchemizing alchemy implants is not without conditions, but requires a certain 'Containment Value.' The curse characteristic of the Angel Boss's implant is very strong and requires a high Containment Value for the body."

"Containment Value?"

A strange term popped up in Su'en's mind. He really didn't know about it.

Upon hearing this, he realized that the Containment Value was approximately equal to Dark Spirit Power Value + Rank.

Kay continued to explain, "For ordinary people like us, the Dark Spirit Power Value is about seven to eight hundred after practicing the breathing technique. If you have an advanced breathing technique, it might be higher."

After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "The 'Thousand Kill Feather Wings' of the Angel Boss is a 'Silver-grade' implant, which has very high requirements. To ensure complete containment of the body, you need at least nine hundred to one thousand points, so as to prevent the curse characteristic of the implant from backlashing and distorting!"

"Oh?"

Su'en finally understood.

So the difference between "Black Iron" and "Silver" quality implants was this. The higher the grade of the implant, the stronger the body's tolerance needed to be to ensure no distortion.

But when Su'en heard that the "Thousand Kill Feather Wings" required a thousand Dark Spirit Power Value to ensure no distortion, his thoughts became a bit strange.

He looked at the data panel, and his Dark Spirit Power limit had already increased to 1157. His eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The original host's 'Hegem Breath Technique' seems to be of a high grade..."

For ordinary people, their Dark Spirit Power would be seven to eight hundred when it overflowed. Very powerful executives might have a thousand. He already had nearly twelve hundred.

And he felt that it was barely overflowing and hadn't reached its limit.

This was enough to show that either the gap between breathing techniques was too big, or the original host had extraordinary talent.

Before Su'en could think too much, Kay remembered the time when he said he wanted the "Thousand Kill Feather Wings" before and was scolded by the Smoke Boss.

He smiled bitterly and used the same rhetoric, saying, "Alchemy implants should first match your own talent, and then your profession... Actually, the 'Thousand Kill Feather Wings' is not very suitable for a gunner, but more suitable for assassins and rangers. I think you can look for blueprints that enhance vision and skill, such as the powerful gunner implant 'Titanium Eye' or 'Agile Hand Bones'..."

"Ordinary blueprint prices are around twenty to thirty thousand yuan. With the bonus you received now, you can keep an eye out. Blueprints are something that can't be sought but can be encountered. The more suitable they are, the more you should buy them."

"If you're not satisfied with the blueprints in the gang, you can also go to the 'Shadow Alley' in the North City. Occasionally, unexpected good things can be found on the black market..."

"Oh, you haven't tested your Dark Spirit Power Value yet? When you feel it's necessary, I'll take you to the headquarters. They have instruments there that can accurately measure your situation..."

Su'en listened to Kay's nagging and smiled, "Alright."
