After both of them had recovered from their state of enlightenment, Yu Yi pondered for a moment and decided not to interfere with Li Xiang and Ming Xu's own plans. He only reminded them that no matter what method they used to practice the materialization of magic circuits, they were not to communicate or discuss with anyone who had not become a magic apprentice.
This was also the most important thing that was emphasized countless times during the Polar night, so the two naturally nodded in agreement.
From this day onwards, the two of them officially entered the special training arranged by Yu Yi. They had to practice the materialization of magic circuits while learning all kinds of assassination techniques. Because Yu Yi himself walked the path of an assassin, they had no choice but to do so.
Concealment, surprise attack, hiding, removing traces, and so on, Yu Yi himself did not have a complete teaching system. He taught them whatever he thought of, but what he taught them were the most practical techniques.
In addition, Yu Yi also paid special attention to the cooperation and tacit understanding between the two during combat. He asked Li Xiang and Ming Xu to trust each other unconditionally, even to the point where they ate and slept together, to understand each other's thoughts and fighting style.
Yu Yi did not explain the reason. Because of his tyrannical power, Li Xiang could only submit. In fact, he could not see through Ming Xu's thoughts and heart at all. She rarely communicated with others, but she could feel that after Ghost Mackerel injured her and heard about the agreement between Li Xiang and Crimson Moon, her feelings for Li Xiang seemed to have changed a little.
In addition to the time for cultivation, Li Xiang also had to rush to the Crimson Moon Bar to help Crimson Moon repair the hidden airship. This was a vast project, and Crimson Moon spent a lot of money to hire mechanical workers to check and repair it one by one. Every time, the people who came were different, and Li Xiang would not see the same person twice.
In short, he just did his own thing. He never asked about Crimson Moon, nor did he talk too much. Crimson Moon liked this personality very much. In her free time, she would occasionally talk to Li Xiang about some higher-level things.
Scarlet Moon Bar, secret room.
Li Xiang buried his head into the bottom of the engine, which was covered in oil. Being in contact with this kind of machinery was beneficial to his body. Not only would he be able to become more familiar with his skills, but he would also be able to increase the Origin Substance on the gray-white scale bar. Crimson Moon was from one of the Five Great Thrones, and she was also a university student. Her network of connections was extremely wide, and large quantities of weapons and equipment would often flow into Crimson Moon's hands before being sold.
After the two of them had gotten to know each other better, Crimson Moon would even ask Li Xiang and Vulture to help her deliver the weapons to her customers. He didn't refuse, either. After all, those weapons were good items that could increase the number of Origin Liquids.
Just like that, the gray-white scale finally reached 50%. He suddenly discovered that at this point, the rate at which the Origin Substance liquid was rising had decreased by quite a bit. The mechanism that had originally been able to increase it by 1% was now only able to increase it by 0.1%.
While sighing, Li Xiang also had a deeper understanding of this ability. The effect of strengthening various mechanical devices was actually only useful in battle. Using Elementium Liquid to strengthen an Elementium Syringe was very wasteful! This was because his special Machinery Proficiency Ability could achieve the same effect.
As long as he focused and waited for the white spinning gear imprint to appear in his eyes, his ability to sense and control machinery would increase to an unimaginable level in a short period of time. At that time, he wouldn't need to use Origin Substance liquid, but it would greatly exhaust his physical strength and mental strength. However, the effects achieved were sometimes even better than using Origin Substance liquid to strengthen.
Currently, if he could accumulate 100% of the Origin Substance liquid without any qualitative changes, then using the Origin Substance liquid to analyze blueprints would be the most cost-effective. The most troublesome thing for Machinists was to "digest" a blueprint. This required a large amount of foundational knowledge and the accumulation of research over a long period of time. Back when he was learning how to make the basic Steam Pistol, he had discovered that he could use Origin Substance liquid to speed up his learning process.
At that time, deconstructing a basic Steam Pistol blueprint only used up 0.4% of the Origin Substance liquid, but if he strengthened his machinery in battle, he could use up 10% or even 20% of the Origin Substance liquid. It was too extravagant.
Now, he had obtained an incomplete blueprint for a Winged Chariot from Professor Maria, and Old Ghost had a bunch of gun blueprints. Analyzing these blueprints would be much better than strengthening his machinery.
This was also one of the reasons why he had accumulated so much Origin Substance liquid.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The metal walls of the floating airship made a crisp sound.
"Little Brother Li Xiang, are you down there?" Crimson Moon's head poked out from the side. She was only wearing thin clothes, and her fair skin and beautiful figure were completely captured in Li Xiang's eyes.
The only female among the Five Sovereigns, the only female among the Five Sovereigns, the Moon Queen.
It was said that all the women in this family were naturally seductive, and their goal was to recruit talents from the outside world into their family. Over the past few days, Li Xiang had deeply felt the extraordinary charm of the Moon Queen's women.
"What's wrong, Sister Moon?" Li Xiang continued to knock and knock. "I'm checking the stability of the driving mechanism. What's the matter?"
"Aha, it's nothing. I just brought you a present." Crimson Moon took out a wrinkled book from her chest and waved it in front of him.
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. He climbed out from the bottom of the floating airship, and Crimson Moon intimately helped him pat off the dust on his body. Then, she waved the book in front of him again.
"Hehe, do you want to take a look?" She deliberately wanted to tease him, but after a few swings, Li Xiang still had that cold look on his face. She helplessly spread out her hands and threw the book back to him. "You're such a boring guy."
"Hmm … Eh, 'The Complete Analysis of the Basic Structure of Firearms'. Where did you get this?" Li Xiang praised as if he had found a treasure. This was one of the 162 basic books that Old Ghost had recommended to him. It was said to be basic, but after he became familiar with the people from Crimson Moon, he realized that firearms books were strictly controlled.
Ordinary organizations did not have the right to keep them. They were firmly controlled by the military, the Five Sovereigns, and other top organizations. The most convenient way to obtain them was through the university's firearms course or by borrowing them from the library. The other ways were extremely difficult to obtain and expensive. The black market was also filled with all kinds of fake goods.
He casually flipped through a few pages and realized that the book Crimson Moon had given him was the real deal. Although it was the easiest to obtain, it was not something he could obtain with his current strength.
"Tsk, it's a secret." Crimson Moon pretended to be generous and waved her hand. "Anyway, you've helped me a lot these days. Consider it a small gift for you."
Li Xiang held the book and nodded slightly. He was slightly touched. He had only mentioned it casually and did not expect her to remember it. After all, helping here was what he wanted to do.
As for helping Vulture and the others to escort the goods, he considered it as repaying Ming Xu's favor. Even if Crimson Moon did not ask Ming Xu to do anything, he did not like to owe people favors all the time.
From a rational point of view, Li Xiang really did not want to take this, but he needed it too much.
"Tsk, why do you look so hesitant? Are you afraid of owing me a favor? " Crimson Moon jumped down from the table and approached him. Her fragrance assailed his nostrils. Suddenly, she said seductively, "How about … you pay me back?"
"Uh …"
"Haha, I'm just kidding. You're the complete opposite of Yu Yi. You won't find a girlfriend if you're so serious and cold. Oh, no, you have a little sister Ming Xu. Ah, I'm so jealous. " Crimson Moon jumped away from him. She always had a cold look on her face when she was outside. In fact, she was very lively and cheerful in front of her acquaintances. It was no wonder that Yu Yi always secretly called her a crazy woman.
Li Xiang did not know how to respond. He said casually, "Well, Ming Xu and I are not …"
"That's why I said you're too serious! Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you. Take the book. If you feel that it's a little difficult, how about you help me deliver the goods again tonight? " Crimson Moon stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "As usual, you can play with the goods first. But this time, it's a little tricky. I heard from Yu Yi that you're about to complete the materialization of the Four Limbs Magic Circuit. That's why I dared to let you lead the team."
"What goods?" Li Xiang did not rush to agree and asked first.
Crimson Moon looked at him deeply. Suddenly, she picked up a silver-white box from behind her. With a click, the gears in the box spun open, revealing the dark body of a gun inside.
Li Xiang's understanding of firearms far exceeded her expectations. He only needed to glance at it for a moment to understand where the problem lay.
This was no ordinary gun. It was an Origin Substance gun that circulated on the black market!
Normally, only the two major heavy industries could produce Origin Substance weapons. Even if a gunsmith had the ability to make one on their own, they would not dare to sell it openly. After all, the circle was only so big. Once a person had a personal style, it would be obvious who made the item.
Only gunsmiths who desperately needed money would take such a risk. Normally, they would make these kinds of basic Origin Substance firearms. They didn't have much of an individual's style, and they would reap huge profits from selling them on the black market.
This was a business that the two major heavy industries absolutely prohibited. If they were caught, not just Crimson Moon, but the entire City 0126 would probably be reshuffled.
"An Origin Substance gun, and it's a black market. Sister Moon, are you going that far? "Li Xiang blurted out. He did not hide the fact that he had seen through it.
Crimson Moon looked at him deeply again, then sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but time is tight. You should understand my situation. I might have already been targeted, so I need to leave as soon as possible. This time, I'm a regular customer. The other problems are not too big, but this guy … if you don't want to, just pretend you didn't see it. I'm fine. "
"It's fine. Just let me know tonight." Li Xiang shook his head. Wealth came from danger. This business deal was also beneficial to him. After seeing and rejecting Dong Ling's family, he had the urge to become a lone wolf. Then, he would have to rely on himself to accumulate resources.
"Okay!" Crimson Moon patted his shoulder heavily. "As expected of my good little brother. One box, one gun. I'll leave this for you to play with. There are still 29 boxes left. Thank you for your hard work tonight. Muah ~"
As she spoke, she quickly ran out of the secret room, afraid that Li Xiang would go back on his word. When he heard that there were still 29 boxes left, Li Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and opened the silver box completely. At that moment, he suddenly froze.
