This trip would last for a day and a night. Most of the first-class passengers stayed in their private rooms. Li Xiang walked along the empty corridor. Above his head were bright steam lamps. Only a few people were walking outside like him.
He breathed in the fresh air. His mind was still thinking about Serpent Yu Yi.
"Why did they only tell us the city with the serial number? Is there any other information that I missed?" Li Xiang thought. Suddenly, he bumped into a man who was carrying a huge bag.
Bang — —
The man was wearing a rarely seen coarse hemp garment. He had fluffy black hair and a face full of stubble. His body was abnormally strong. After the two of them bumped into each other, Li Xiang actually took half a step back.
"Ah, sorry." Li Xiang raised his head. The other person was half a head taller than him. His chest muscles were firm. His body swayed slightly, and he brushed past Li Xiang.
Since the other person didn't mind, he acted as if nothing had happened. After wandering around outside for a while, Li Xiang returned to the private room. As soon as he entered, Ming Xu raised her head and looked at him strangely. He thought back to what he had said about the train attendant during the day. His face reddened, and he hurriedly waved his hands to tell her not to misunderstand.
Ming Xu lightly harrumphed and tossed the Black Snake back to him.
"This is a good gun, but it can only be loaded with bullets. That's too harsh." Ming Xu placed her silver Origin Substance spear on the round table, tilting the spear slightly. She tapped it lightly with her finger, and the entire silvery-white spear slowly turned transparent, revealing its internal structure clearly.
Li Xiang could clearly see that there were three slots inside the gun. One for steam, one for Origin Substance, and one for bullets. This was a huge investment!
Back at the hotel, he had already felt that this wasn't a normal gun. Now, just based on the three-in-one design, this gun was priceless!
"Do you think all guns are the same as this Famous Gun?" Li Xiang rolled his eyes at her. It wasn't difficult to combine three types of power into a gun. The difficult part was that the creator could balance the explosive power of the three types of power. Otherwise, if you used bullets after Origin Substance, the various parts of the gun wouldn't be able to quickly change, and the gun would be in danger of exploding.
Similarly, this type of gun had extremely high requirements for its user.
Li Xiang glanced at her enviously. It was so good to be the daughter of a rich family.
Ming Xu glanced at him in astonishment and asked faintly, "How do you know this is a Famed Gun? I've never used it in front of you. "
This gun's real name was "Demonic Wings", and it was one of the top ten Famed Guns created by the Master Gun Mechanic. Aside from the Disaster Weapons used by players, when talking about weapons used by players, it was impossible to avoid these ten Famed Guns.
However, the Ten Famed Guns were basically only circulated among the upper class. Li Xiang and the others, who had yet to become Magic Apprentices, naturally didn't know about them.
After listening to the origin of this silver pistol, Li Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was just speaking nonsense, but he didn't expect that he would be right.
The strength of the Ten Famed Guns not only lay in the coexistence of three types of power, but also in the fact that when fired, it would cause the magic runes inside to vibrate. It could guide the magic particles in the air to cooperate and explode with a magic-like attack!
One had to know that magic was exclusive to Magicians. The reason why Magicians could firmly occupy the first place among the three classes was because they had all kinds of strange magic. Of course, the magic resonance this gun could cause was very small, and it couldn't be compared to a real magic attack of a Magician. But even so, it was enough to make people below the level of a Player go crazy.
"So this gun was created by a Magician Gun Mechanic. Amazing!" Li Xiang took the Demonic Wings and looked at it carefully. No wonder just touching it could give him so many Elemental Bonuses. The creator was actually a Player!
Ming Xu's reaction was very calm. The two of them talked about guns for a while and then returned to Serpent Yu Yi.
She didn't have any clues, so she could only take one step at a time.
Just as the two of them were confused, Li Xiang suddenly frowned. He touched his pocket and checked carefully. As expected, the money bag with the last stack of Blue Astral Coins was gone.
"Strange." He searched carefully again. It was all gone.
"What's wrong?" Ming Xu, who was resting with his eyes closed, turned his head and asked softly.
He told her everything with a serious expression. Blue Astral Coins were a small matter, but someone was able to sneak up on him and steal his money. If it wasn't just money … Just the thought of it sent chills down his spine.
The only possibility was the man who passed by him in the corridor. Li Xiang quickly went out to search, but unfortunately, the man had disappeared without a trace. He couldn't go into the private rooms one by one.
After returning to the private room helplessly, Li Xiang could only use this as a warning to himself. There were definitely many thieves like this in City 0126. It wasn't a safe place, so the two of them had to be careful.
.....
The next evening, the Camilla successfully arrived at the Steam Station of City 0126.
Compared to the magnificent Hangzhou Steam Station, this Steam Station was a little shabby. It had been renovated countless times inside and out. There were no Army soldiers patrolling the area. Only a few major forces under the jurisdiction of City 0126 were stationed here to maintain basic order and collect extra fees.
The two of them paid five hundred Blue Astral Coins each before leaving the Steam Station. Looking at the slightly empty city streets, Li Xiang frowned slightly.
This place was exactly as described in the information. The city was dirty and disorderly, and there was no infrastructure maintenance. It was basically controlled by a few major forces that were stationed here. They built whatever they wanted and didn't care about the city's appearance or the city's construction.
The metal tracks above their heads were arranged in a disorderly manner. The trees that hadn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time were almost withered. Fallen leaves were everywhere, and there were old and crooked billboards on the ground. Some of the shops on both sides were bright and eye-catching, while others were crumbling.
"There should be some kind of 'information network' in this kind of place. Shall we find a bar or something to ask?" Li Xiang suggested. Based on his experience of two lifetimes, the more disorderly an area was, the more invisible the rules were. Information was very important, and many people were willing to pay a lot of money to buy some rare information. Therefore, professions such as' information network 'and' know-it-all 'were born.
Ming Xu nodded slightly in agreement.
Li Xiang led her through a deserted street. The two of them passed through a barbed wire fence. The number of people around them increased rapidly. Many of them were in groups. They were dressed like scavengers as they walked quickly.
Scavengers were refugees. They often carried a huge backpack and walked in all kinds of desolate and dangerous ruins. They used their lives as the price to search for valuable items and sell them on the black market. The lucky ones might become rich overnight, and the unlucky ones might die in the wilderness. If the surrounding numbered cities had plans to expand, most scavengers would give up this life of licking blood on the tip of a knife and run to the quarantine area to live on the relief funds of the military. For example, the slums of Seawatch City.
"Damn it, I told you not to provoke the monster in the ruins. You think it's easy to provoke it just because it looks like a child? Look at it now, it's all sent in! " The leader of the group of scavengers was a burly man. He walked at the front and cursed. "The harvest this time isn't even enough to pay the tax. What do you think we should do?"
"What else can we do? Recently, the Scarlet Moon and the Ghost Soldiers are fighting fiercely. Miss Scarlet Moon is lacking in weapons and money. Can't we pay less tax? "Another scavenger sighed.
Li Xiang had done his research on the Scarlet Moon and the Ghost Soldiers. There were a total of six cities, including the main city and the affiliated cities. The main city was the Ghost City they were in now. It was the most economically developed super city with the most human traffic. Originally, a faction called the Ghost Soldiers occupied this place. Because their members liked to ride old steam motorcycles, wear ghost masks, and ride around with cold weapons in their hands, they were called the Ghost Soldiers.
Originally, the Ghost Soldiers occupied the Ghost City, and the city was named after it. However, this big piece of fat meat was still targeted by others. A year ago, a woman called Miss Scarlet Moon took a large number of her subordinates and entered the Ghost City. In just two months, she seized a lot of the Ghost Soldiers' territory, and the bloody war between the two factions began.
Now, the South District Li Xiang and the others were in was the territory of the Scarlet Moon. These scavengers were able to live a stable life here because of the Scarlet Moon's care. Naturally, they had to pay the tax on time as a reward.
This kind of low-level fighting and life was very far away from Li Xiang and the others. He had no intention of getting involved.
He walked quickly in the street. The busiest part of the South District had a checkpoint. Two men in red uniforms would check passes or collect tolls. Li Xiang and Ming Xu's clothes were very different from the people around them, and they attracted a lot of attention. The scavengers squatting around them greedily looked at Ming Xu's figure, and they could not wait to pounce on him like hungry wolves.
However, the scavengers were not fools. To be able to survive until now, each and every one of them was very smart. Without full confidence, no one would be the first to eat crabs.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu strolled around for a while before finally finding a bar-like building. The signboard reflected a hazy red light. It did not have a name, and from time to time, it would crackle with the breeze.
He recognized at a glance that the signboard was made of an airship's cabin door. Even if it had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, it still could not escape his eyes.
The lights in the bar were dim, but the tables and chairs in the hall were quite clean. At this time, there were only a few customers drinking. Li Xiang casually looked around and found that most of the appliances in the bar were actually modified from airship parts.
He could not tell whether this was extravagance or waste. A tall, sexy woman stood behind the bar. She wore a red dress with a high slit. Seeing Li Xiang and Ming Xu enter, she stopped shaking the snow pot in her hand and smiled in surprise. "Interesting. There are actually new customers."
"Sister Moon, do you want me to drive them out? I think they're newcomers who don't know the rules. "A big, bare-chested man sitting behind the bar asked in a booming voice.
The sexy woman waved her hand and smiled. "It's fine. What would you two like to drink?"
