After the mechanical class ended, Li Xiang sighed with emotion. The female teacher was right. Monopolizing resources would lead to a huge gap in strength. Over time, once the gap in strength was widened, it would be harder to make up for it.
He returned to his dorm and immediately took out his communicator. He inserted the token he had obtained previously, and the ice vapor mechanical interface appeared once again. Li Xiang chose the third option without hesitation: Obtain a complete tutorial video of a certain mechanical device or weapon.
Previously, he was still hesitant. The first two options were not bad, especially the first one. Obtaining a weapon or equipment personally made by the mysterious Mechanic would allow him to quickly increase his strength. However, after today's class, he understood that it was better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.
After making his choice, the ice vapor mechanical interface immediately shattered, and a long list appeared. There were many weapons and equipment names, but most of them were grayed out. He could choose one of them, and he would be able to obtain the original blueprint and the tutorial video.
He did not expect that the mysterious Mechanic would actually give him the original blueprint. He had really struck it rich!
Back then, he had earned his first bucket of gold with the improved steam pistol blueprint. It was still fresh in his mind.
This time, he was doing it for the deal with Villette and to improve his practical skills. He could use the Chessboard College's laboratory for free at any time, so he could not waste this privilege.
The mysterious Mechanic's weapon and equipment were categorized according to the female teacher in the class. It seemed like this was common knowledge among the upper echelons.
Li Xiang skipped over the steam category and focused his attention on the Elementium category. He didn't have the ability to forge cold weapons, and he was currently lacking an Elementium submachine gun. This was also the most widely used type of firearm by the border troops.
The requirements for a weapon like the Ghost were too high. Although it was powerful, it could not be used by everyone. To deal with the endless mutant army, a submachine gun was the best choice.
The Elementium submachine gun was a huge category, and there were hundreds of different types in the list. He could only see the name and manufacturer, and behind it was the blueprint of the mysterious Mechanic's improved version. Therefore, even if he only chose a very ordinary type, it would definitely be a high-quality one.
"Thunder Fire Series, Phantom Series, Fingal Series …" Li Xiang browsed carefully and quickly locked onto a few of the better models. Of course, the gun type was one of the factors, but the manufacturer was even more important.
Manufacturers were a reflection of strength. To be able to break out of the siege under the monopoly of the two major heavy industries, they must have their specialties and advantages. Fortunately, Li Xiang had studied a lot of basic books recommended by Old Ghost, and he had already memorized the information of some famous manufacturers.
"[Asia Yuntong] and [Light of Heresy] are both good manufacturers. One is orthodox, the other is eccentric. Both have their own advantages … Huh?" Li Xiang scrolled to the bottom of the list and saw [Life of Subcontinent].
Isn't this the super corporation controlled by Senior Sister Zheyuan? It turned out that he had a subordinate firearm manufacturer.
The Zhe family was one of the few super families of the Subcontinent District. It was normal for them to be involved in such a business. However, the Life of the Subcontinent District made a special note that the weapons and equipment produced by the Zhe family had to be made with new materials developed by the Zhe family. Otherwise, the Zhe family would have to bear the consequences.
There was also a comment from the mysterious machinist, "The new material is very tough and harder than the average black stone. It is worth getting."
Li Xiang exited the interface and searched for the suppliers of the Subcontinent District in the Goddess of Calamity's system. As he had expected, the components and raw materials were for sale, but the prices were exorbitant. Li Xiang was different.
He had signed an ordinary contract with the Life of the Subcontinent District. The Life of the Subcontinent District had the right to advertise his products and would provide him with a considerable amount of resources every month. Besides, Senior Sister Zheyuan was his backer. He didn't have to worry about the lack of materials.
"The Legend of the Night series. A new model this year." Li Xiang clicked on the list out of curiosity. According to the introduction, the Legend of the Night series was a series of weapons developed by the Subcontinent District that year. It consisted of two sub-series, the Vampire Legends and the Werewolf Bloodline. The former was a gun made of Source and the latter was a cold weapon made of Source.
The mysterious machinist had provided a submachine gun made of Source from the Vampire Legends. It was a famous weapon of the vampires!
The design of the gun was extravagant. Two colors, light gold and silver, were intertwined. The body of the gun was engraved with purple spider lilies. The gun was powered by Source and could be reloaded twelve times at a time.
"That's it!" Li Xiang was impressed as soon as he saw the Great Name of the Vampires. A Great Name of the Vampires produced by the Subcontinent District would cost six million Blue Astral coins. It wasn't expensive, but each shot would cost a standard tube of Source. A magazine with twelve shots would cost one million and two hundred thousand Blue Astral coins!
Factoring in the maintenance fees, the Great Name of the Vampires was a money killer.
However, he had the ten million Blue Astral coins a month from the No. 0126 city and the Crimson Moon. The Subcontinent District also had ten million Blue Astral coins a month. He wasn't short of money.
After choosing the Great Name of the Vampires, Li Xiang couldn't wait to open the original blueprint. Since it was an electronic blueprint, he had to make a hand-drawn version. There were over a thousand pages of blueprints. Luckily, he had learned the five-star basic course, [Blueprint Studies]. Copying the blueprints wasn't a problem.
There were also over a hundred detailed tutorials. However, the mysterious machinist didn't say anything. The only thing Su Ping could see was a pair of fair hands working on the gun.
The modified Great Name of the Vampires had an expanded "magazine capacity." It could hold fifteen shots at a time. The power and coordination of the gun had also been improved.
Judging from his design concept and methods, it was definitely a super big touch in the firearms field. After the revision, the Daimyo of the Blood Clan would be sold for at least ten million.
Li Xiang couldn't get in touch with the outside world. Finding the raw materials for the [Subcontinent Life] was a problem. However, the mysterious machinist would provide him with the raw materials for free. Li Xiang tried to ask the mysterious machinist if he could get in touch with the Subcontinent Life Group. Hopefully, they would say yes …
Once he got the blueprint, he would analyze it with a mechanical wheel. Afterward, he would be able to modify the Great Name of the Vampires. That way, the Great Name of the Vampires would become a universal weapon for the border troops. The Great Name of the Vampires would be a unique supplier. That way, Su Ping would be able to keep a firm grip on the business channel.
Besides, he had the goods from the Serpent Machines. He would be able to monopolize the border business.
It wasn't that he cared about money or resources. He just wanted to do something for the warriors who were fighting on the frontline.
After seeing Xu Mo's body and learning about what had happened at the border, Su Ping wanted to do something within his means.
However, mass-producing the Great Name of the Vampires would require a large amount of raw materials. He could only hope that the mysterious machinist would be willing to help.
Li Xiang didn't have much hope. While he was copying the blueprint, he suddenly received a message from his friend. It was from the mysterious machinist!
His profile picture was a big black "L" and his nickname was Lily, which was very feminine.
“L？ The mysterious man L? Is it him? " For some reason, Li Xiang thought of the mysterious man L, who hadn't contacted him since he entered the academy.
The mysterious man had helped him a lot along the way. It couldn't be a coincidence.
The mysterious man replied casually.
"Sure. How much?"
Li Xiang took a deep breath. He had to make some prototypes first. Only after the deal was done could he start mass-producing. Therefore, he ordered ten of the raw materials.
"Ten percent."
Li Xiang agreed without hesitation. The interest wasn't high. At the very least, the problem of raw materials would be solved.
But soon, he thought of something horrifying. How was it that the mysterious man was able to contact him when he had blocked the internet?
