"Please have some coffee." The maid knelt on the cushions in the carriage and skillfully brewed a cup of fragrant coffee and pushed it in front of Li Xiang. "If there is no problem, I will begin to explain the details of this mission."
"Thank you." Li Xiang took a sip of the coffee. It was rich and fragrant, and the taste was excellent. As expected of a family that pursued refinement. He looked around and saw through the entire carriage. It looked like an ordinary luxurious carriage from the outside, but in fact, it was equipped with highly precise mechanical devices.
Even if the dark horse outside suddenly died, the carriage could still continue to operate.
"First of all, I hope that Mr. Li Xiang can understand some basic common sense. There are countless sponsors behind the Polar night training camp. The 36 forces you saw today are only a part of them. There are still some who did not come to the first training camp. The real sponsors behind the Polar night are the military, Wessex Technology Company, and the Dong Ling family! "
The maid paused for a moment and observed Li Xiang's expression before she continued.
"And the first lady of our family is the real sponsor of the Polar night in the Dong Ling family. Of course, the relationship is very complicated, so you don't need to know too much about it. But you have to be clear about one thing. The real person who gave you the invitation letter is the first lady! "
Speaking of this, the maid's lips trembled. Even though she was well-educated, she still couldn't control her expression. The first lady rarely left Europe. She was also one of the most powerful people in the Dong Ling family. Who would have thought that she would travel thousands of miles to choose Li Xiang, who she had never met before. She even specifically told him that it was fine even if he didn't understand the steam language.
This honor was something that many top geniuses in Europe couldn't even dream of!
Li Xiang nodded calmly. It sounded very powerful. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the Dong Ling family.
"Cough, cough, cough. As for the mission this time, 'Escort Dong Linglan and her family to the Steam Station in City 0127 within three days.' The description of the quest was very clear, so I won't say too much. Dong Ling Lan's family consisted of three people: Dong Ling Lan, her husband Lu Hai, and her six-year-old daughter Lu Yu. When we reach our destination, someone will come to pick us up. " Miss Maid raised her eyebrows slightly and immediately handed him a sealed document. "This is their information. When you are ready, you will be taken to meet them at the starting point of the mission."
"Alright." Li Xiang felt the bumpiness of the carriage. He had very keen five senses. After the five senses magic circuit reached the state of awareness, he became more alert. The direction of the carriage was different from what he had felt before, but the route was similar. If the destination was not far away, it should be very close to Black City.
There was only brief information about Dong Ling Lan's family in the document.
Dong Ling Lan, female, 28 years old.
Bloodline Grade: Normal
University of Graduation: World History, Seville College, No.0995 City, Europe 6
Lu Hai, male, 30 years old.
University: Steam Engineering College, City 0265, District 1, Subcontinent District 1
Lu Yu, female, six years old.
Bloodline Grade: Normal
The information on the cover was very simple. Li Xiang flipped through it casually and read the contents of the sealed document.
To put it simply, Dong Ling Lan's family was being hunted. His task was to escort them to the steam station in Hangzhou, where they should take the civil armored steam locomotive to leave No.0127 City.
After memorizing it, Li Xiang returned the document to the maid.
She nodded slightly and put away the document. "There may be a lot of battles during this mission. We have provided you with all the equipment and weapons required for a C-level mission. When we arrive at the armory, you are free to choose."
"Understood." Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. Weapons and equipment were provided. It seemed that there would be a lot of tough battles ahead. In fact, he hadn't experienced a formal battle yet. The palpitations of his heart when he attacked the Kuang Tie at night were very memorable. His body was craving this kind of battle.
After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
The maid lifted the curtain. Li Xiang got out of the carriage first. It was a summer afternoon, but the sky was cloudy. It was as if a storm was about to come.
They were in the wilderness and he couldn't tell where they were. There was a huge warehouse in front of him, surrounded by a group of men in black.
The maid led him to the warehouse. Seeing her outfit and the black card in her hand, the men in black quickly let her pass.
She swiped the card and the door of the warehouse slowly opened.
It was dark inside. He couldn't see what was going on.
"Please come in." The maid made a gesture of invitation and walked into the warehouse with him. Then, the door was closed.
She snapped her fingers. The steam lamps above her were lit up. There were also exquisitely decorated wall lamps wrapped in crystal, which gave the warehouse a splendid look.
The entire warehouse was decorated in a typical European style. It was very artistic.
Many cabinets were erected in rows, on which hung all kinds of weapons and equipment.
Li Xiang looked around. There were many steam turbine units inside the walls. The whole warehouse was a sophisticated and huge mechanical device.
"This is Area C, you can choose any equipment you like." The maid put her hands in front of her skirt and led him to a row of cabinets.
The steam weapons and equipment hanging on the cabinets were dazzling. Li Xiang couldn't take it all in.
Among them, there was also the steam-powered equipment that Bai Shanshan, Lélie, and the other military soldiers were equipped with. There were portable gas tanks on both sides. As long as there was enough gas, they could fly through more complicated and narrow terrain.
It was especially suitable for moving in the air in the city where buildings intersected and pipelines were densely packed.
This was an advantage that personal speed couldn't match.
However, the steam-powered equipment here was obviously better than what Lélie and the others were given. Every one of them was printed with the logo of Dong Ling Heavy Industries. They were truly high-quality steam-powered equipment.
The firearms knowledge that he had learned in Old Ghost's shop for a long time could be put to good use here.
Originally, the maid wanted to remind him not to choose too many weapons and equipment. Rookies on their first mission would usually choose a bunch of seemingly high-end equipment. In reality, they had never used such equipment before and were unfamiliar with it. Wearing it on their bodies would be a hindrance, and it would be counterproductive and kill them.
However, when she saw Li Xiang skillfully fiddling with the equipment, she swallowed her words. Although she didn't want to admit it, he was indeed able to use all kinds of weapons and equipment after seeing them for the first time. He didn't look like a rookie at all.
As Li Xiang fiddled with them, he was secretly delighted. This warehouse was practically his heaven. Previously, he had deconstructed the mechanical equipment that Maria had given him. Now, he had touched and operated all the weapons and equipment in Area C, and the gray scale bar finally jumped to 8.3%.
Dong Ling's house was indeed the most suitable place for him to collect liquefied Origin Substances. He wasn't in a hurry to choose. Instead, he asked if he could take a look at the weapons and equipment in the other areas.
The entire warehouse was divided into four areas: C, B, A, and S. Area S was hidden in the basement.
The maid was a little troubled, but in the end, she nodded and agreed. This suggestion was very strange. According to the rules, mission enforcers definitely couldn't borrow weapons and equipment from higher-level areas. However, Li Xiang's request was to look and touch, and not touch.
No one had ever made such a request before. She thought about the rules again and again. After confirming that it wasn't against the rules, she decided to do Li Xiang a favor. After all, he was someone that the First Lady had her eyes on. If he really established himself in Dong Ling's house, she might have to rely on him for food in the future.
After receiving approval, Li Xiang immediately touched all the weapons and equipment in the other two areas. He really couldn't go to Area S, and the maid was puzzled by his excited expression.
However, she had heard that many Mechanics had strange personalities, so she understood.
Li Xiang was wild with joy. After one round, the grayish-white scale bar had jumped to a shocking 23.6%. It was almost a quarter of the way up, and it was more than before.
With a large amount of liquefied Origin Substances, he could apply them to some mechanical devices to increase their efficiency, and allow them to explode with extremely high combat power in an instant on weapons. He could also use the blueprint symbols to deconstruct the blueprints he obtained.
Li Xiang was still thinking about whether there would be any changes if he reached 100%. Therefore, he would try not to use it if he could. He had a vague feeling that there would be some kind of qualitative change when he reached 100%.
"Okay, then I'll take this Type III Maneuver Equipment, this Origin Substance Pistol, and uh … this' Poison Fang 'dagger." In the end, Li Xiang gave up on more powerful firearms like submachine guns and sniper rifles. He had only used a firearm once so far, and it was a basic steam pistol.
The feeling of that battle was still fresh in his memory. Even though he had the Machinery Proficiency ability and could use all kinds of machinery with ease, things like firearms were just as Old Ghost had said. They had souls, and the higher the level, the harder it was to control. It was not something that could be easily used just because you had talent.
Most gun experts had been honed through long hours of training and countless life and death battles. The speed at which they drew the gun, their familiarity with the gun, their arm strength, perception, judgment, and so on were all factors that affected the effectiveness of the gun.
The more complicated the gun, the harder it was to use. He didn't want to carry a heavy gun on his back and be unable to use it easily. Instead, he would be harmed by it.
The mission that Dong Ling's family had given him was definitely difficult, but it would not be so brainlessly difficult without considering his own situation.
The venomous fangs were cold to the touch, and there were a few rows of sawteeth on the blade. The surface was coated with poison. Once stabbed, it would be like being bitten by a venomous snake. It would pierce through the skin and flesh and penetrate deep into the bones. If the venom entered the body, it would either cause death or serious injury.
As for the Type III Steam Maneuver Device, it was something that he had suddenly thought of. His speed was not bad, but if he encountered a street fight or a chase in a city, even if he could run, it did not mean that Dong Ling and Lan's family could run.
Especially with a six year old loli. With this device, perhaps something miraculous would happen.
As for using it, with his Machinery Proficiency ability, it would not take long for him to familiarize himself with it. The only thing he had to pay attention to was the consumption of the gas in the cylinder.
"Okay, I will immediately take you to register. Right, Mr. Li Xiang, the Origin Form gun requires the consumption of Origin Form gas. This standard Origin Form gun can fire two shots in a row, and it takes half a second to fill. A standard tube of Origin Form gas can support two shots. As for the Origin Form gas, we can give you a 40% discount. It is sixty thousand for a standard tube. "The servant girl looked at his troubled expression and suddenly smiled." How much do you need? I can lend you a sum of money, but you will have to calculate the interest. "
"Uh, give me a dozen." Li Xiang hesitated for a moment before deciding to buy more. He would not be able to use up all of this, but Origin Form gas was an important resource for his future cultivation. Now that he could obtain it at a cheap price, why not buy more? After all, didn't she say that she would lend him the money?
However, when he thought of the high interest and debt, his heart bled. The mission had not even begun, and he already owed her seven hundred and twenty thousand Blue Star Coins.
The servant girl was a little surprised. Not only did using the Origin Form gun require extremely high arm strength and physical fitness, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Could he really use up all of this?
