Ever since the incident in Green Valley Town, Lu Cheng and Overmera had formed a grudge. His Black Pine Settlement had been attacked many times and suffered heavy losses. Since Overmera had joined him, Han Xiao helped Lu Cheng solve this problem and made a call.
"It's you." On the phone, Lu Cheng was on guard. He had also received information that Han Xiao was from Overmera. This made him very vigilant, and he suspected that Han Xiao had contacted him before.
"Don't worry, Overmera won't trouble you anymore." Han Xiao went straight to the point and expressed his attitude.
Lu Cheng was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Overmera is not on my side, at least not in the past. Now that they have joined me, I'll help you solve your dispute." Han Xiao laughed. "Friends should help each other."
"… Okay." Lu Cheng's tone softened a little. Thinking of their previous friendship, he felt that Han Xiao would not lie to him, and there was no need for that. He was just a small warlord, and Han Xiao was now a legendary figure.
"After the war, the Six Nations will dominate the world, and there will be fewer and fewer wanderers. In the future, the warlord model will definitely be dealt with …" Han Xiao repeated what Xiao Jin had said. The gist of it was that the business that Xiao Jin was doing now had no future, and it would definitely collapse in the future. Brother, on the other hand, had better prospects. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Now, I have a chance to give you a hand.
Lu Cheng was a little tempted. "Let me think about it."
After talking about business, Han Xiao asked if Lei Zhen Yu was still in Black Pine Settlement. Lu Cheng's answer was that he had already left. Han Xiao could not help but have a thought.
Lei Zhen Yu was a mechanic who made the PE-0 Nano Muscle Fiber. Old Man Lu had entrusted him to help Lu Cheng. Once Lei Zhen Yu left, it would be an opportunity for Old Man Lu to leave behind the four blueprints. Old Man Lu would try to get the information to Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng would then send someone to Stardragon's repair shop to get the blueprints.
Although the relationship between father and son was very strained, Old Man Lu's fatherly love was as great as a mountain. Han Xiao secretly shook his head as he thought of his own father and the "Fried Meat Slaps" that he missed so much … Oh, not this Xiao Jin beside him.
Old Man Lu's four blueprints were all rare items, and they had a unique style. They could be considered as a set of godly equipment in the early stages of the Mechanic class. The probability of obtaining knowledge from them was extremely low, so Han Xiao was quite envious. He currently had three types of equipment and battle systems. The Ghost Gaussian Sniper Rifle and Electromagnetic Hover-boots' long-range kiting style, the all-rounded Amphiptere mechanical suit, and the Mechanical Pugilist style of Magnetic Chain Split Blades and Electrothermal Cutter. These three systems formed his current combat style.
The other scattered machines did not count as his usual tactics. For example, the Generation 2.5 Rangers and Turrets' firepower rush style, and the Elementary Pure Firearms long-range style with a large number of gunpowder weapons were rarely used. Ever since the snake-series mecha had left the factory, Han Xiao had very rarely gambled on new blueprints. He was well aware of the knowledge combinations of blueprints. Other than the occasional chance to try his luck, he would only spend his experience to integrate a specific blueprint when he confirmed that a certain battle strategy was required.
As for Old Man Lu's four blueprints, they belonged to an independent new battle system, so Han Xiao naturally would not miss out on them.
…
The setting sun slowly approached the horizon, gilding the Stardragon Western Capital with the color of dusk. The air was filled with a hint of melancholy as the day was about to disappear. The people on the streets were in a hurry, as if they wanted to rush home before nightfall.
Han Xiao slowly walked on the streets. He had been away for almost a year, and now that he had returned to the Western Capital, the feeling that this city gave him had changed slightly. There were more people, and the corners of the walls were still covered with anti-war spray paint. The giant screens in the buildings in the distance were rolling the news, and the content was about the victory of the war and the upcoming climate change. The city was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, and the citizens were confused and worried about their future.
At this time, Han Xiao was wearing the facial simulator. He changed his appearance and wore a warm woolen coat. It was already winter, so this outfit was very low-key and ordinary.
Returning to the repair shop that he had not seen for a long time, the familiar layout was still there, and his workshop was still next to the shop. Han Xiao walked into the shop, and the lathe hummed. Lu Qian was focused on assembling a machine. She was alone, and Old Man Lu, who usually sat at the door, was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Qian turned around and saw a customer coming in. She hurriedly put down her work and walked over with a smile. "Hello, is there anything you need?"
Lu Qian still looked familiar, gentle and delicate like a spring breeze. Han Xiao sized her up and said without a change in expression. "I want to customize a small thing."
"What is it?" Lu Qian blinked.
Han Xiao took out a blueprint and handed it to Lu Qian. It was a sketch of a small metal sculpture. There was no technical requirement, only grinding and welding. Any machine shop could do it. Lu Qian looked at it for a while and nodded. "No problem, you can come and get it tomorrow."
Han Xiao shook his head. "I'm leaving the city tomorrow, so I want it tonight."
Lu Qian was troubled. "It will take about two hours to make this sculpture. I'll close the shop when it's dark."
"Then I'll have to go to another shop." Han Xiao pretended to feel pity and whispered, "Is there a modification shop nearby that takes orders of thirty thousand yuan …?"
Lu Qian's eyes lit up and changed the topic 180 degrees. "We'll close later today. You can wait in the shop. Once it's done, you can pick it up immediately."
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled inwardly. He knew Lu Qian too well. This trick worked every time.
Only by staying in the shop would he have a chance to find the box left behind by Old Man Lu. Naturally, he couldn't ask Lu Qian directly as it would arouse suspicion.
At this moment, a new customer came in. It was a short-haired man. He stuck his head out and said, "I want to buy some household equipment. Do you have it?"
"Yes." Lu Qian greeted the customer and pointed to the metal rack. "It's all for sale. Sorry, I have some work on hand. You can take a look yourself."
He casually grabbed a stool and sat down. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked to the side. He saw that the man who had just walked in was sizing up the goods on the shelf while secretly sizing him up, constantly observing him. Old Man Lu's identity was special. Before he left, he got people from Division 13 to take care of Lu Qian. There were always people around to protect and monitor her to prevent anyone from plotting against her. This new customer was a resident field agent who came to investigate Han Xiao's background.
"People from Division 13?" Han Xiao's LV 70 senses were very sharp. He noticed that this man's footsteps had the characteristics of someone who had undergone military training. He guessed the other party's background after thinking for a while. His expression didn't change as he quietly observed the situation. Now that he had changed his appearance, he wasn't afraid of being recognized.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Qian focused on her work. Han Xiao sat by the side and waited. The man kept picking from the rack and watching him.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. It wasn't good for him to move around when he was being watched. He secretly shook his leg, and a small spider crawled out of his pocket. It followed the shadow of the corner and moved stealthily. Han Xiao took out his tablet and used his body to block the surveillance's line of sight. He lowered his head and opened the control interface of the spider. He switched to manual mode.
The image of the small spider appeared at the bottom right corner of the screen. From the spider's perspective, it moved close to the ground. The detector was specially equipped with a metal detection device. The pipes hidden under the wall and the floor were all glowing red. He remembered that Old Man Lu's safe was made of metal, so he used metal detection.
Half an hour later, the spider found its target in Lu Qian's room on the second floor. A portable safe was placed under the bed. Han Xiao suddenly stood up and said, "Is there a toilet here?"
Lu Qian looked up and wiped her sweat. "It's upstairs. I'll take you there."
"No need. You do what you need to do. I'll go by myself." Han Xiao refused and walked up the stairs. After a few steps, he suddenly heard the field agent say that he wanted to go to the toilet. He followed him and watched him closely.
Han Xiao clicked his tongue and felt that it was quite troublesome. It was not good for him to move when he was being watched. He suddenly felt evil. When he came to the toilet on the second floor, he suddenly turned around and punched the field agent in the nose with a friendly punch. The field agent could not react at all. He only felt a blur in front of him, and a searing pain erupted from the bridge of his nose. Without saying anything, he was knocked unconscious.
After helping the field agent lie down silently, Han Xiao walked into Lu Qian's room, pulled out the safe from under the bed, and entered the password in his memory.
Click.
The safe opened. Han Xiao glanced at it. The interface notified him that he had obtained four rare blueprints. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he was overjoyed. He rolled up the blueprints and stuffed them into his bag. Then, he took out the replacements from his bag and put them into the safe. Finally, he closed the safe and put it back in its original position.
The replacements were also mechanical blueprints, but they were normal blueprints. In the future, there would be players who would go through all kinds of hardships to complete this mission. At the very least, that player would not be left empty-handed. Han Xiao felt that his conscience was so great that it touched Galaxy.
Carrying the field agent downstairs, Lu Qian was shocked. "What happened to him?"
Han Xiao pretended to be disgusted. "This guy wanted to go to the toilet with me. His intentions were murderous, so I knocked him out."
Lu Qian's expression became strange. She looked at the field agent and mumbled, "So exciting …"
Han Xiao sat down calmly. He didn't panic at all after knocking out the Division 13 agent. His confidence came from his ability. Moreover, Lu Qian was an old acquaintance. He didn't want to disappear for no reason and cause Lu Qian to be worried.
He chatted with Lu Qian casually.
…
"56, please answer … 56, please answer!"
In a room in a building a few hundred meters away from the repair shop, a group of field agents responsible for protecting Lu Qian was on standby. The captain kept repeating into the walkie-talkie. The target was naturally the field agent in the repair shop.
There was no reply. Everyone's expression became serious.
"Sh * t, he's lost contact. Something must have happened in the shop. Move immediately!"
The captain suddenly stood up, put on a bulletproof vest and ammunition belt, and rushed out of the door with his men.
