The Dead Sea was a terrifying place for anyone who had never lived in the borderlands, not to mention the mysterious bottom of the Dead Sea.
Li Xiang had been paying close attention to the bottom of the Dead Sea ever since something strange happened there.
Someone had released some sealed calamities from the bottom of the Dead Sea. Those calamities seemed to have escaped from the borderlands, but Li Xiang had a feeling that they were still hiding in some corner.
He felt as if a pair of dark eyes were watching him all the time. It was a feeling that annoyed him, but he couldn't get rid of it.
"Can you be more specific? Isn't this the machine that the [Subcontinent Life] invited you to develop? The Zhe family is the one in charge, isn't it? I haven't heard of any noble families that are interested in the Dead Sea. "
Li Xiang lowered his head and asked.
A glint of fear flashed in Elena's eyes. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, she shook her head.
He took a deep look at Elena and said calmly, "Alright, I'll be participating in it anyway. There's no need for them to hide it from me. You don't have to worry too much. Just help me settle the matter at hand first."
"Yes, Lord Li Xiang." Elena nodded gratefully. Then, she began to read the information on the Riverside Map.
The two of them returned to the seventh city. The mess had been cleaned up. All traces of the troops stationed there had been cleaned up. Dale had taken away all the members of the Owl Faction. Apart from the devastation on the ground, the occasional smoke rising from the chimneys was quite a sight to behold.
The weapons and equipment research facility was rebuilt. The military had compromised in the end, handing over the entire border area of the 0010 city to Andrea.
It had been more than a decade since she was banished from the seven continents. The military had tried many times but failed to shake her position in the area. The compromise that day meant that from now on, there would be no one else who could compete with her.
It was said that Bai Ya left the 0010 city early in the morning with the rest of the military. They left with the airship fleet before the first ray of sunlight shone on the ground.
He had exposed Li Xiang's secret. Although it had been covered up in the end, White Scorpion knew that if he continued to stay here, he would only be subjected to endless pressure. Thus, he had applied to be transferred back to the sixteenth branch family.
Andrea's iron-blooded methods had forced the military to retreat. This undoubtedly encouraged many of the other border commanders who were shackled. They all followed suit and chased the people of the seven continents back to their hometowns, leaving behind only a group of border warriors who were unafraid of death.
Judging from the current situation, Andrea's counterattack and the independence of City 0010 were undoubtedly the first bugle call. Following that, several other border regions responded. Li Xiang was even more afraid of the arrangements hidden behind this.
If Andrea had really used this incident as a catalyst for her counterattack, then it would be too terrifying.
She was definitely not the only one plotting behind the scenes. Moreover, even he had not discussed this matter with her. It could be seen that this was a game and decision made at a higher level.
What were they planning to do by suddenly making the border regions independent?
Relying on this method alone to sever ties with the seven continents was clearly incomparably foolish.
Li Xiang could only sigh. He could only hope that this was not the doing of the Night Shadow.
As soon as the two of them entered the weapons and equipment research facility, they heard Bian Hetu's hearty laughter and congratulations.
He pushed his wheelchair to Li Xiang and congratulated him with a smile. "Congratulations, Brother Li Xiang. You're going to make a fortune this time."
"What kind of fortune?" Li Xiang asked, confused.
After a brief conversation, he learned that several border regions had decided to cooperate with him and order vampires in bulk.
In just over ten days, the vampires had become one of the top ten low-end source guns. Li Xiang, as the inventor, had become famous and was known as the rising star of the gun industry. Even though he disliked the idea of using cheap tricks, he had only gotten the idea after seriously analyzing the vampires.
Imitation was not a big deal in the gun industry. As long as one could produce a good gun, one was a good gunsmith.
Besides, [Life and Death of the Subcontinent] had announced that they would not pursue the matter of imitation. They also emphasized that their guns were all specially designed and made of special materials. As long as there was a way to crack them, they would not pursue the matter.
That was a sign of great confidence, as well as an affirmation of Li Xiang's abilities.
Even Li Xiang had not foreseen that things would turn out this way. Li Xiang had always planned to enter the circle only after he had finished a gun from Old Ghost's book. However, things were unpredictable. Anyway, he had benefited enough this time, so he had taken the opportunity to take it.
However, he could not figure out why the 10th Legion had not moved here because of Dale's radical actions. She was not even aware of it. After Andrea's investigation, she discovered that Owl had made the decision on his own!
He had done it without considering the forces behind him, Li Xiang's reaction, and the possible consequences. He had done it so blatantly.
That was not the cold and cruel General Shogun that Li Xiang remembered.
It was as if he had been provoked by something and had retaliated.
Anyway, this time, Owl had given him his answer.
Between him and Li Xiang, only one of them could survive, and he could not wait any longer.
"Elena, take a look at Major Bian." Li Xiang calmed down and asked the blonde to measure Bian Hetu's body.
Bian Hetu was moved to hear that Li Xiang had brought someone to help him reconstruct his body.
Elena carefully measured his body. She was more professional than Li Xiang when it came to mechanical prosthetics. She went back to Maria's lab with Li Xiang after collecting the data.
This time, Li Xiang finally got to see the mysterious machine that was being built. Thanks to his X-ray vision, he was able to see the complicated structure of the machine. No wonder so many experts had to work together to develop it. The design and production of the components alone could drive an average mechanic crazy!
Elena ran off to design the mechanical prosthetics. Only Luke and Maria were left in the spacious room.
Maria had mixed feelings as she stroked the huge device. The first time she saw the young man, it was at the Polar night training camp.
As the selection officer sent by Wessex to the Polar night, she had never thought that she would find a piece of unpolished jade in a pile of trash. However, she did find Li Xiang.
Later, when she heard that he had passed the first 50 levels of the Sky Arena, Maria was so excited that she wished that Li Xiang would drop out of school to help her. She had a feeling that the young man's background had surpassed hers.
Her lab could not keep him here, nor could she confine him.
"This mechanical device is used for detection. Currently, in the Seven Continents, the number of detection devices is still very few. We are still in the research stage …" Maria explained in a long-winded manner. The content was substantial, and Li Xiang benefited a lot.
However, when he asked about the real purpose of the device, Maria gave a vague answer that she did not know.
She said that it was a device made by [Life of the Subcontinent] and that she had no right to know.
Seeing that Li Xiang was suspicious, Maria changed the subject. Clearly, she did not want Li Xiang to know the real purpose of the device.
In the evening, he returned to the university with a large pile of raw materials.
Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he was back in the familiar environment. He hurried to the Chess Board Academy. Lei Lin should still be in the lab.
After receiving a large pile of raw materials, the old man and the young man did not waste any time. They started to make the Grand Weapon of the Blood Clan.
Even Lei Lin would not be able to make the weapon in a short time with the blueprints provided by Li Xiang. Also, Li Xiang could not just show Lei Lin the videos of the mysterious machinists. He had to follow Lei Lin's progress. That being said, Li Xiang had also deepened his understanding of firearms.
Li Xiang absorbed all kinds of knowledge like a sponge. Then, he used the wheel to analyze the information and turned it into part of his own knowledge base. Then, he continued to analyze more profound content.
Since his knowledge base was full, his analysis speed was faster and the quality was higher. Under such a positive cycle, he was moving toward the path of a firearms master at an unimaginable speed.
In the next two months, he was busy with his studies. He had lost a lot of GPA because of his failure in the monthly exam. Therefore, he spent more time on his studies.
He had to go through physical training every night when he went home. Firearms classes took up half of his time. During the weekends, he went back and forth between Maria's lab and the university.
In just two months, he and Elena had successfully made a perfect mechanical prosthesis. Bian Hetu was full of praises after using it. On the other hand, the Scarlet Moon had made a lot of money from the trade with the border regions. They were self-sufficient for a short period of time. It was no longer a problem for them to support the construction of the Scarlet Moon City.
At the end of March, after the beginning of spring, the thick black fog finally dissipated a little. However, according to Villette's complaints, the black fog was still much thicker than before. She had been doing all kinds of missions recently. She often complained that the missions in the mission hall were becoming more and more monotonous. If it was not helping the border deal with the mutant flood, it was investigating the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea was mysterious. Ordinary students could only move around the surface. Villette had done a few investigations, but other than discovering a lot of mutant nests, she did not make any big breakthroughs. Naturally, the GPA she earned was pitiful. However, there were no other missions she could accept. Resisting the mutant flood was too dangerous. She could only investigate the Dead Sea day after day.
The number of club activities was getting fewer and fewer. The first semester was ending in three months. As the student representatives, they were naturally very busy. Moreover, the courses in the Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent were notoriously difficult and complicated.
After entering the zone, Shizuko Ise and Little Beauty Sala seemed to have disappeared. They were rarely seen. Sharjah was the only one Li Xiang could see occasionally. However, she had been stressed out by the mechanical courses recently.
As for Millie, after that incident, it was said that she had been locking herself in the Knowledge Tower. She would only come out during the monthly exams. Halfway through, she asked Li Xiang for a tube of sperm and insisted on matching it with Little Beauty Sala's eggs.
After asking Andrea and the others in detail, Li Xiang confirmed that the student's method would not be able to successfully breed a complete egg. Thus, he let her do whatever she wanted.
That was the highest medical achievement at the moment!
Countless couples of players relied on the fruit of love borne from the womb.
After the results of the monthly exams in March were released, Li Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he did not fail many subjects. However, the results were still not good. There were also many students who went crazy from studying. He looked at the tarmac like before. Many students had dropped out of school again.
Compared to the beginning of the semester, the total number of students in the four major academies had decreased by almost half.
Such a terrifying elimination rate had never been mentioned before. Many new students now regretted not working hard at the beginning and playing during the holidays. Li Xiang specially asked Villette and learned that this was the first time he had seen such a high elimination rate.
It seemed that it was still due to the influence of the School Championship Competition.
Tonight was the day that the Blood Breed Daimyo was completed. After more than two months, Li Xiang had finally used the last of the remaining materials to create the Blood Breed Daimyo. Now, only a few decorations were left, but it was mostly completed.
He was very grateful to Dean Lei Lin. Without him, he would have needed at least half a year to complete the research on his own, even with so many auxiliary tools.
Now that he could have the finished product by the end of March, it would undoubtedly fill the gap for his Ghost.
He walked into the laboratory. Dean Lei Lin was not around today. According to him, when every gun was completed, the gunner should be allowed to enjoy the moment of joy alone.
Although he did not agree, Li Xiang was indeed very satisfied when he saw the Blood Breed Daimyo being completed by his own hands.
Due to the rare practicality of the Blood Breed Daimyo, the initial price of six million Blue Star Coins per gun had been raised to eight million Blue Star Coins per gun. The destructive power of the twelve shots was frightening.
The key was that the gun could withstand such terrifying power. Someone had tested it and found that it could be used for almost a week before it was scrapped!
The lifespan of a gun was at least a year. Spending eight million Blue Star Coins per year was not a loss.
Li Xiang stroked the exquisite spider lily on the gun body. His heart was as calm as still water. The spider lily was the flower of the underworld, and anyone who saw it would die.
The Blood Breed Daimyo implied that it hoped to make a name for itself by constantly sacrificing all kinds of lives.
After staying for a while, Li Xiang stood up and packed up everything. At this moment, his communication device suddenly started to vibrate crazily.
He picked it up and saw that it was Honey, whom he had not seen in a long time. She had sent him a huge pile of information.
"What's going on?" Li Xiang was depressed and directly requested to speak with her.
After a few minutes, Honey picked up the phone.
"Look, look at the information."
Her voice sounded a little shaky.
Li Xiang felt that something was wrong and immediately flipped through the large pile of information. These were all confidential information about bloodlines, Bai Family, Wessex, Disaster, Mutants, and so on. Most of them were sealed in the Knowledge Tower, and he did not know how she had gotten her hands on them.
"Phew … I, I think we should talk over the communication device." Honey was rarely nervous and agitated. She was not as calm as she usually was and took the initiative to hang up the call.
Li Xiang received another research report that she had made herself.
It was the result of her detailed research on Li Xiang's blood sample over the past few days.
What kind of result would cause the usually calm Honey Li to be so flustered?
Li Xiang flipped through it and saw a shocking sentence at the beginning of the report.
The blood sample was identified as non-human, but it contained the bloodline of the Bai Family and Wessex Family. It had been devoured by the Disaster Bloodline and mutated.
