While Wang Bo was transferring the books to him, the other eight graduates had also added him as a friend through the group chat. From now on, the ten of them would be a new small group.
Other than He Yi, Li Weilan, and Yu Bai, whom he was not familiar with, the other six could be said to be friends.
He Yi was indeed from an aristocratic family. He immediately became friends with Li Xiang. He was also very experienced in speaking and did not mince his words.
After all, Li Xiang was very likely to become a Mechanic in the future. No one would not want to be friends with a Mechanic. Having such a friend meant having a stable source of supplies and repair points. Otherwise, whether it was through the association or an organization, the cost of equipment consumption would be frighteningly high.
Li Weilan and Yu Bai only greeted him. They were from ordinary backgrounds like Li Xiang, so he could understand why they did not like to interact with the children of aristocratic families.
Li Xiang was just considering if he should introduce Chen Fan and Ji Yanqing to Wang Bo. Compared to He Yi, Wang Bo was obviously more reliable. However, he thought about it and decided to wait until he officially entered university.
After all, everyone's destination had not been confirmed yet.
After the books were transferred, he could not wait to start reading. The Polar night communicator was indeed the most high-end Intelligent Machinery device. The reading function reminded him of the experience of reading e-books in his previous life.
Just as he had imagined, even the words on the electronic device could enter the rows of gray boxes and be stored forever as long as he 'touched' them.
Now, looking at the Basic Steam Pistol in the first gray box, it was like yesterday. His current strength had long surpassed the state he was in when he first entered the Polar night. The weapons he used would no longer be those basic firearms.
After sighing with emotion, his gaze returned to the gray scale bar. Ever since the battle with the Kuang Tie had reset to zero, he had started the long journey of accumulating points again.
However, with his previous experience, the speed of accumulating points had greatly increased. As long as it did not reach the 50% threshold, the speed of accumulating points would be the same as before. Over the past few days, he had come into contact with a lot of mechanical devices, especially this Hidden Flower 16 and the Polar night communicator in his hands. Immediately, his grayish-white scale bar rose to 13.9%.
However, this 13.9% Origin Substance liquid hadn't even warmed up before it was used as nutrients for the eleven firearms books.
Eleven grids were quickly filled, and they were all white.
Li Xiang felt that his professional skills had improved a little. At this rate, as long as he collected all the books, his theoretical knowledge would pass and he would be considered a beginner, right?
This kind of learning speed was simply unimaginable. If Lei Xiong knew about this, his eyeballs would probably fall out.
Li Xiang felt that this was the truly heaven-defying part of the grayish-white scale bar. Being able to use the Origin Substance liquid in combat was nothing special. This kind of accelerated learning speed was a bug. He didn't know how much time it would save him. He just didn't know if he would be able to use it in university classes in the future.
Hidden Flower 16 was like a galloping beast roaring through the wilderness. The monsters hiding in the dark retreated back to their nests. They lived in the wilderness, and after interacting with humans for many years, they gradually understood the principle of who they could mess with and who they could not.
Soon, Hidden Flower 16 officially entered the territory of City 0101. The surrounding buildings became brighter and more eye-catching. Countless people were amazed by this super sports car. Lei Xiong hummed a song, and his face was full of pride.
It wasn't easy to get a job to guide new people. Of course, he had to show off.
City 0101 was one of the top 50 super cities in District 1 of the Subcontinent continent. There were a total of 26 districts, and each of them was comparable to City 0127. The infrastructure inside was also clean and tidy.
The city walls towered into the clouds, and the bottomless city walls were like creeping behemoths, looking down at the ant-like humans coming and going from the sky.
There were more than a dozen old era lighthouses erected around the city. Some were still in use, and the tops were shining.
Inside the city walls were countless steam turbines. The construction was extremely complicated. Li Xiang felt dizzy and had to look away.
There were also sentry towers in the middle of the city walls. The ones standing guard were at least second lieutenants of the military, and the ones who were powerful.
Looking at the city defense, the flow of people, and the various super buildings, Li Xiang could feel that City 0101 was different from the rest. This was just one district.
"Life here can be described as heaven, if you have money," Lei Xiong lamented. Lei Xiong sighed. "You people from small cities have probably never seen such a prosperous place in your entire life. Oh, I'm not mocking you, Li Xiang."
"I understand. This is life in a top city." Li Xiang nodded. He didn't care about the ambiguity in Lei Xiong's words. Discrimination based on social class was common. After all, it was extremely difficult to go beyond each social class. The world they saw and enjoyed were completely different.
People like Fei Zilan, who could call the wind and summon the rain in the Hou City and could be considered a big shot in City 0127, could barely be considered a middle class person in City 0101.
That was the difference between the cities.
"Life here is really, really comfortable. I recommend that you find a way to buy a house here when you have money. The price of a house is still around 100,000 Blue Astral Coins per square meter, and we get discounts. I heard that the price will increase again at the end of the year," Lei Xiong whispered. Then, he grinned at Su Ping. "Here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, including some things. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Looking at Lei Xiong's lascivious face, Li Xiang didn't need to think to know what Lei Xiong was implying. Li Xiang smiled. Enjoyment was indeed a part of his life in this world, and it was an important part. But not now.
Right now, he needed to fully prepare for the upcoming ultimate trial. Of course, he had to invest all of his money into equipment.
At this moment, Li Xiang was completely penniless apart from the 50 standard tubes of Origin Form gas that he had obtained from the black box. If only he could sell the Origin Form liquid in the grayish-white scale bar, that would be great. He laughed bitterly as he thought of this.
If he could really do that, wouldn't he have broken the Wessex Technology Company's monopoly on Origin Form resources?
Right now, he still needed 100 standard tubes of Origin Form gas to learn the new magic technique, as well as a corresponding magic resonance stone. In addition, his equipment needed to be repaired. This huge demand gave him a headache.
While he was thinking, Hidden Flower 16 suddenly stopped in the parking lot below a huge floating building.
This was a floating, dark golden dodecahedron. It was graceful and luxurious, and it shone brightly under the sunlight. It was extremely eye-catching even among all the other super buildings, let alone in the most bustling area of the city.
"This can't be our headquarters, right?" Li Xiang clicked his tongue. He had thought that the headquarters would be hidden in some secret underground base. He didn't expect that they would directly and brazenly purchase such a large piece of land and build such a domineering super building.
It was super impressive.
At the top of the dark golden dodecahedron was a folded neon sign with the words "Serpent Machinery" written on it.
"Of course, the name of our headquarters outside is Serpent Machinery. It's a registered company. Do you think we're the same as those underground organizations that can't see the light of day?" Lei Xiong laughed loudly, very satisfied with Li Xiang's shocked expression. He put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the floating building.
The two of them were attracted by a layer of light that projected down, and they immediately flew into the air. As they walked through the door, a wave of cold air hit them in the face.
The mechanical atmosphere in the hall made Li Xiang, a heavy mechanical enthusiast, feel very comfortable. There was no one at the front desk, so they directly went upstairs through the elevator. The keys to the elevator were their respective badges.
Li Xiang noticed that Lei Xiong's badge was a small snake.
Baby snake, young snake, adult snake, giant snake, python, snake king.
It seemed that he was also only a young snake.
After entering the elevator, a translucent electronic screen was projected. Lei Xiong chose the top floor, the 28th floor, and the elevator rushed up with a whoosh.
Their physique was completely different from that of the old era's humans, so all kinds of equipment had been changed accordingly. The elevator reached the 28th floor in a second.
"Welcome home, Li Xiang." The person at the door holding a colorful ribbon tube was a great beauty. She threw a flirtatious glance at Li Xiang. "I'm the pretty girl in the group, Xi. You can call me Big Sister Xi 'er or Big Sister Xixi."
Lei Xiong laughed loudly, and brought Li Xiang to dodge Xi 'er's punches. At the same time, he introduced the headquarters to him. "Don't drink with Xi at night. Remember, remember, haha. This is the office area on the 28th floor. Basically, people who are on duty at the headquarters or who have nothing to do hang around here. That's a cannon, a heavy attack mechanical equipment researcher. That's Gale, a master of speed-type Origin Equipment … "
"Hey, Xi, bring our baby snake to see Boss." Lei Xiong quickly brought Li Xiang around. There were very few people in the office area. Everyone just raised their heads and smiled before lowering their heads and continuing with their work. These were all seniors of the Polar night training camp. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"Come, Little Brother Li Xiang. Come with Big Sister Xixi to see Boss. You're really lucky. Boss is rarely seen. You might not even see him once a year." Xi 'er didn't hesitate to put her arm around Li Xiang's shoulder and brought him inside. Her figure was voluptuous and tall, and she was half a head taller than Li Xiang, who was already 1.7 meters tall. Her appearance and temperament were excellent, and she was a complete beauty.
"I'm in charge of the personnel and miscellaneous management of the mechanical department, so I'm the manager of the headquarters." Xi 'er pursed her lips and smiled. She pushed him in front of a tightly shut office. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and took out a mirror to touch up her makeup.
Xi 'er's flowing red hair and hot figure were enough to charm most men. However, she actually showed a trace of timidity and uneasiness here. Li Xiang was a little curious about this legendary Boss who gave him a super membership.
What kind of person could make this group of monsters in the mechanical department submit to him?
Knock, knock, knock —
After the knocking, a neutral but pleasant voice came from the other side of the door.
"Come in."
"Boss, I've brought the new baby snake." Xi 'er smiled sweetly and brought Li Xiang in with one hand in front of her chest.
He suddenly felt a huge force that didn't allow him to resist. Only then did he remember in horror that this group of people was not only a group of mechanical geniuses, but they were also potential players who had graduated from the Polar night training camp!
