Working in the repair shop was relaxing, so Han Xiao had a lot of extra time to do his own things.
Klow Junkyard was the biggest junkyard in Division7. The junkyard was piled up like a small hill, and all kinds of equipment were used to deal with it.
This was the territory of Raccoon, the leader of the grey zone in Division7. As long as there was law and civilization, there would be no way to avoid these kinds of grey people who would form cliques to take advantage of others. They were like shadows under the sun, not to mention in such a chaotic social environment.
Although the West Capital was the capital of Stardragon, there were many spies from other countries and forces lurking in this city. There were also many arms dealers, intelligence dealers, and Dark Net assassins operating in the dark. These kinds of shady forces were the local tyrants. Although they were quite well-known in the West Capital, they weren't really important.
Han Xiao wore a mask and walked into the junkyard. He was stopped by a few fierce-looking men.
"Kid, this is not a place you should be."
A bald, brawny man blocked Han Xiao's path and sized him up with evil intentions. With Han Xiao's thin physique, he was as easy to bully as a sheep in their eyes.
"I want to see Raccoon." Han Xiao said calmly.
The group of workers laughed as if they had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"We don't have time to play house with you. Go home and find your mother, or we will break your legs." The bald man waved the wrench in his hand and threatened.
"So Raccoon let a small fry like you speak for him?"
"What did you say?" The bald man was furious and grabbed Han Xiao's collar.
Han Xiao stared at him and didn't say a word. He put his hand on the bald man's wrist and squeezed it gently.
The bald man felt a sharp pain in his wrist and subconsciously let go of his hand. He looked at his wrist and was shocked to find that there were a few purple finger marks on it.
"Friend, where are you from?" The bald man's face changed and became alert.
At this time, the bald man suddenly tilted his head and listened to the mini earpiece hidden in his ear. He put away the hostility on his face and stepped aside. "The boss wants to see you."
He followed Wu Ke to a rest stop inside the junkyard.
A thin man was sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other. He was holding a glass of red wine with two fingers. Just by looking at his appearance, it was hard to imagine that he was Raccoon, the boss of Division7.
Raccoon said casually. "I heard that you want to see me. What's your name?"
"Technician Han." Han Xiao said casually.
Raccoon sneered. "If I think you are wasting my time, you should know what will happen to you."
It had been a long time since a stranger had dared to approach him for a collaboration, and it was a young man who was still wet behind the ears. Out of curiosity, he wanted to meet Han Xiao.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and suddenly reached out his hand. Like a phantom, he swept past the bald man's waist. Before Raccoon could see clearly, there was already a pistol in his hand.
The bald man was aghast. He hurriedly touched the back of his waist and found that the hidden gun had been taken away.
The lackeys behind Raccoon immediately pulled out their guns and aimed at Han Xiao nervously.
"What is the meaning of this?" The raccoon paused and his heart was beating like a drum. He was very clear about the strength of the bald man. He was his right-hand man and could easily defeat ten people. However, he could not keep up with the movements of this young man. Where did this person come from?
Han Xiao's fingers moved like a Rubik's cube. The gun was like a withered flower. In the blink of an eye, it turned into parts and scattered on the ground.
"Firearms are the products of big organizations. I can help you save the cost. All I need is a small reward."
Raccoon was moved. This kid in front of him knew how to make guns!
Firearms were the hard currency of the gray area. The price of firearms in the black market was very expensive. It was a complete rip-off.
Knowing how to use a gun and knowing how to make guns were two different concepts. Mechanics who knew how to make guns were very popular. A local organization like Raccoon could not attract mechanics who knew how to make guns. Now that a proper mechanic came to him, Raccoon felt that this was an opportunity.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
"I'll make a list later. You provide your own materials and parts. I'll be responsible for the manufacturing and assembly. I'll come here every morning to work for two hours. The manual fee is 1,500 per handgun. Also, I want to take away the mechanical trash that I like."
Han Xiao had studied the firearms of the Germinal Organization thoroughly. He could easily make basic firearms.
Raccoon tried to bargain. "The materials are all mine. I can only give you 1,000."
Han Xiao turned and left without another word.
Raccoon panicked. He only wanted to test Han Xiao's bottom line. He did not expect such a big reaction. "No, no, we'll go with your price," he said hurriedly.
A handgun in the black market cost 3,000 to 4,000. Han Xiao's manual fee was still within Raccoon's acceptable range.
"You prepare the lathe and the materials. I'll come over tomorrow. I'll go get some mechanical trash first." Han Xiao knew that a skilled mechanic would have a lot of power in this kind of negotiation. Furthermore, Raccoon did not know his identity and combat ability.
Raccoon's eyes darkened. He signaled for the bald man to follow and monitor him. He did not mind letting Han Xiao have a taste of his own medicine. After all, the junkyard was his territory. He had plenty of ways to deal with liars.
…
Han Xiao picked up a lot of usable parts and left the junkyard. He realized that there was a tail following him. He knew what Raccoon was thinking. Raccoon wanted to know his identity and address. After leaving the junkyard, Han Xiao quickly took a few detours to get rid of his stalker.
This way, Division 13 will also know my abilities as a mechanic … Han Xiao thought to himself. With Division 13's intelligence network, it would be easy for them to find out that he was working for Raccoon. This was also a way for him to show off his strength. At the same time, he also needed an opportunity to build machinery. Although mechanics were weak in the early stages, they had their pros and cons. Compared to combat professions, mechanics were more favored by factions. They could earn contribution points very quickly.
As for why he chose Raccoon, there was no other reason other than the fact that it was close enough to save him time.
…
After returning to the mechanic shop, Han Xiao was questioned by Lu Qian. He had already thought of an excuse. He pointed at the big bag of parts he had brought back.
"I went to the junkyard to get some goods."
"Junkyard? That place is not safe. Don't go there in the future. " Lu Qian did not think too much about it. As long as it did not affect the order, she did not care about Han Xiao's free time. She had a natural fondness for people who did not have high demands for their salary.
Han Xiao put down the parts and focused on the interface. He still had a lot of Potential Points that he had not used yet. It was just enough for him to finish learning the remaining two basic knowledges of the Armed Branch.
The maintenance shop had a complete set of basic knowledge for mechanics. There were few places more suitable for the early stages of a mechanic than the maintenance shop. The knowledge books were all from Old Man Lu's private collection. Han Xiao went to ask Old Man Lu for the books, but he was unsurprisingly rejected.
"I want to read the mechanical knowledge books."
"Go away. There are no books for you to read."
"Don't be so stingy. Just treat it as funding an outstanding youth to nurture potential employees."
"… Your skin is thicker than I thought, but it's useless. I just don't want to show it to you. What can you do?"
This was a good question. What could Han Xiao do?
The next day, when Lu Qian handed the stolen books to Han Xiao, Old Man Lu was so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet.
"Why do I have such an ungrateful granddaughter?!"
Lu Qian also had the key to his room, so it was obviously impossible for him to take it back.
Old Man Lu was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Just you wait. This old man will get his revenge sooner or later and kick you out!"
…
[Basic Weaponry] and [Basic Material Encyclopedia] were the last two basic class knowledges of the Armed Branch.
Han Xiao's level 20 Promotion Mission was to learn one class advancement knowledge. The prerequisite was that he had to learn five basic knowledges of the same branch.
The players' Promotion Missions were not fixed. His level 20 Promotion Mission was the most difficult. On the novice planets, Promotion Knowledges were very rare. Han Xiao's Promotion Mission was difficult even for a player's level 40 Promotion Mission.
A normal level 20 player might not even be able to learn all the basic knowledges of a single branch. The unluckiest ones might not even be able to unlock their main class.
The repair shop did not have any advanced knowledge, so Han Xiao could only learn the basic knowledge first. However, Han Xiao was already very satisfied. Searching for knowledge books was a headache for all players. Some level 40 and 50 players had not even learned all the basic knowledge, but the repair shop had the complete set of basic knowledge for the mechanic class. This was even worse than being ahead at the starting line. Han Xiao was already standing at the finish line.
According to the "Treaty of Contact Between Universal Civilizations (Seventh Revision)" between the three universal forces in the sea of stars, "If an intelligent species is discovered, no one is allowed to interfere with the development of a low-level civilization by means of war, genetic means, pheromones, and other 127 means."
Therefore, Blue Star did not obtain advanced technological knowledge from the galactic forces. Promotion Knowledges were already the peak, and they were strictly controlled by the large forces and treated as secrets.
