Chapter 157 Is the Spring of the Intelligence Department Coming?

Elm District.

A sound of breaking through the air was heard at the edge of the concrete wall covered with vines and bullet holes.

The snow wolf, lying on the ground gnawing at the dead body, was nailed to the tree trunk beside it by a javelin before it could react.

Fang Chang, holding the mechanical compound bow, walked forward and checked the prey. It was already dead. When he saw the short spear piercing the tree trunk, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"This is too awesome!"

The tree trunk must be as thick as a thigh.

If he were to shoot with an arrow, he really couldn't shoot through it without charging.

No, even if it was charged 80%, it would be difficult, unless it was replaced with a pure steel forged arrow.

Kuangfeng looked at his right hand, his face full of silence, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"...Is it that strong?"

"Brother Feng."

"What?"

"Use the other hand to wipe your butt from now on."

"Get lost!"

Kuangfeng walked forward and pulled out the javelin, but only pulled out half of it, and the other half remained behind the tree trunk.

As for the mutant snow wolf, there was no need to look at it, it must be dead.

Fang Chang: "Your right hand has at least 30 points of strength, which is enough to penetrate a steel plate. Think more broadly, not just throwing spears, but also throwing knives, throwing arrows, stones and bricks... Damn, I suddenly feel that Lao Bai's strength system is a complete pitfall, and he can be beaten with a mechanical arm."

"Not necessarily," Kuangfeng shook his head and said, "I remember Brother Guang said in the group a long time ago that the strength system should unlock exclusive skills at the 10th level of the gene sequence. Otherwise, compared with the machine, it is really a bit useless."

The strength system is okay, at most you can install a mechanical arm, but the alien system players are really uncomfortable, with the debuff of not being good at operating complex machinery, not to mention the pitiful intelligence attribute.

If the shortcomings in this area cannot be made up by skills in the later stage, the alien system is completely useless. Kuangfeng estimates that there will be new changes when it reaches level 10.

"That's right," Fang Chang nodded, "Now that you mention it, I remember that the Blood Hand Clan's boss... almost broke through before he died."

"Yes, and... I feel that this mechanical prosthesis should have some kind of demand for intelligence attributes," Kuang Feng said thoughtfully, looking at the half-spear in his hand, "I don't feel anything when using it normally, but if the output power is increased, there will be a slight dizziness... I'm not sure what causes this phenomenon, and I haven't seen similar instructions on the official website."

Fang Chang touched his chin with interest and suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, what is the power source of your mechanical arm?"

Kuang Feng was slightly stunned and said.

"I don't know, but there is a charging port here."

As he said that, Kuang Feng lifted his sleeves and showed the hole on his arm.

Fang Chang stared at it for a while and said.

"There is more than one hole. There is one on the forearm and one on the arm... I don't think all of them are charging ports."

Kuangfeng: "What else do you think there is?"

Fang Chang: "Look at this hole on the shoulder. The two bars outside are obviously a fixed slot. I guess it is a neural interface for connecting external implants. Maybe I can install... uh, another arm in the future?"

Kuangfeng: "..."

Installing another arm is okay.

Doctor Octopus?

It seems that it is not impossible.

However, he does not have a third arm in reality. If this non-existent arm is installed, how should he use it... Wait.

Kuangfeng suddenly looked up and said to Fang Chang.

"Do you still remember the description of the intelligence system on the official website? I remember it said that the intelligence system attribute will affect the operation and access number of the neural access device."

Fang Chang nodded.

"I was just thinking about this question. Maybe mechanical transformation is the correct way to play the combat profession of the intelligence department. If the store opens the purchase of implanted prostheses in the future, the spring of the intelligence department may come!"

The spring of the intelligence department.

Kuangfeng suddenly had tears in his eyes.

It always felt like he had waited for a long time, and this was finally what he had waited for.

Fang Chang: "But you have to be careful. My mechanical bow can be picked up after it falls. If you die... Even if the arm can be recovered, I think it will be difficult to put it back."

Kuangfeng held his right arm and said calmly.

"Don't panic, I will take good care of my unicorn arm."

Amused by this guy's sultry expression, Fang Chang smiled and said: "That really needs to be taken care of. By the way, you should try not to show off on the forum later."

"...Why?"

Looking at Kuangfeng who was obviously planning to show off on the forum, Fang Chang sighed.

"Brother, do you know how many players were killed last night due to serious injuries? I estimate that at least a quarter of the 117 players were killed."

A mechanical arm!

Not to mention the players who were killed.

Players like him who were slightly injured and could be cured with a bandage were almost envious of his luck!

Thinking of those players who were clamoring for a knife, the usually calm Kuangfeng also became nervous.

"Then I'll make up a story later..."

"It's better this way," Fang Chang nodded, "You can say that you saved their leader's life, and this mechanical arm was exchanged for your life. This reason is better than you going to the ground and waking up with an extra piece of magic equipment."

Kuangfeng nodded quickly.

"Okay, as you say!"

"If someone asks me this, I'll say it."

...

Boulder City.

A vertical take-off and landing aircraft flew over the towering concrete wall, over the outer city area, and landed on the apron of the outer building of the inner city.

With three teammates, Li Hua jumped off the plane and walked towards the officer waiting at the edge of the apron, saluting.

"Report to the officer, the mission failed. The other party refused to hand over the prisoners and refused to discuss the ransom further."

The middle-aged man who looked like an officer nodded and did not blame them.

"Okay, I understand. You go down first."

"Yes."

You must be very careful when dealing with disputes between the legion and the enterprise. If you anger the legion, the war may spread to Qingquan City.

Provoking the enterprise is also a lot of trouble. Although they are far away and it is unrealistic to send troops directly, as long as the other party raises the regional risk rating and tightens the loan funding of their own banks on the trade routes, the caravans coming here from the east coast will be reduced by half immediately, and at least hundreds of millions of chips will be lost in a year.

No matter who wins in the end, they will go there.

If they can buy the prisoners of war as a favor, it would be the best.

If they fail to be the peacemaker, it doesn't matter. At least they have tried. When the envoys from either side come to ask, they will have an explanation.

...

Outside the outpost, the heavy snow stopped for a while.

Yu Hu, carrying a hunting bow, walked all the way and finally saw the outline of the south gate. But what puzzled him was that he always felt that there were fewer people here today than usual.

Are they all busy?

The guard at the door recognized his face and let him go after checking his pass as a routine.

The chimneys in the industrial zone were still floating, and the sound of knocking metal came out from the half-covered factory from time to time. It seemed that there should be people inside.

Yu Hu didn't stay in the industrial zone in the south for too long. He went straight to the main building of the sanatorium.

There was a room with a sign hanging there. Yu Hu didn't know what was written on the sign. He only knew that it was a bank and also where his sister worked.

This job was easy. Most players with VMs had already used electronic payment. Only newcomers would use metal currency.

When Xiaoyu was free, she would hold a book and sit at the wooden table at the door and read it.

When he arrived at the door of the bank and saw Xiaoyu sitting at the wooden table reading a book, Yu Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down his hanging heart.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

"Brother?" Xiaoyu looked up at his second brother standing at the door in surprise, put down the book in his hand, and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Yu Hu smiled and said, "I'm worried about you! There was a big beam of light in the north last night. My brother, sister-in-law, parents and I were all worried about you, so I came to see you on their behalf."

Xiaoyu: "I'm fine. I saw that bright light last night. It was quite far from here, so it didn't have any impact."

"I'm relieved that you're okay!" Looking at his safe and sound sister, Yu Hu said with relief, "Remember to eat more meat, eating meat can make you taller."

Xiaoyu shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't eat too much, eating too much will make you fat."

Yu Hu: "It's better to grow some meat!"

Xiaoyu: "No!"

The little sister is good in everything, but she is too stubborn. Yu Hu has never won her in arguing since he can remember. He sighed and stopped arguing with her.

"Forget it, you don't understand, I won't argue with you... By the way, what is this book of yours? Is it good?"

Xiaoyu slightly raised the corner of her lips, looking at her blind brother, and said as if showing off.

"This book is what Brother Chu and the others said! Xiaoyu is learning two languages ​​now!"

Yu Hu, who was fiddling with the book, was dumbfounded.

"Ah? Then I won't learn it all wrong?"

Xiaoyu said proudly: "No, Xiaoyu is very smart! Brother Chu said that as long as I study hard, he will reward me with candy."

Yu Hu looked envious.

He wasn't envious of his sister's education.

Candy.

He wanted to eat some too...

...

Seeing his sister doing well here, even looking much better than when she was at home, Yu Hu's only worry disappeared.

He had planned to say hello to Brother Chu before leaving, but unfortunately, Brother Chu was not here. The old man in charge of the warehouse said that he seemed to have gone to the north, and just a few minutes ago.

Thinking of the nuclear explosion in the north last night, Yu Hu couldn't help but worry a little, hoping that the place where Brother Chu went wouldn't be too dangerous.

Every year, there are one or two unlucky guys on Beth Street who get sick because of radiation, and because they can't afford the expensive radiation disinfectant, they can only lie in bed and wait to die.

And compared to the radiation itself, the alien species attracted by the radiation will be more dangerous, and the probability of breeding dangerous species will be much higher than in other places.

In any case, may he live long.

In this damned world, there are too few people as kind as Brother Chu!

…

"A-choo."

Chu Guang, who was sitting in a light truck, suddenly sneezed without warning, and Xia Yan, who was sitting next to him, looked at him.

"Cold?"

"No, I guess someone is thinking about me."

He just said it casually, but the guy sitting next to him suddenly glared at him.

"Who, who wants to think about you, don't be so self-indulgent."

Chu Guang: "...?"

What the hell.

As they were talking, the truck drove to the side of the Pioneer.

Chu Guang jumped off the car and helped the lame boss Xia.

After getting off the truck, Xia Yan looked around, looked at the huge steel platform and tracks, and then looked at the production workshop next to him that was rumbling non-stop, and whispered.

"Speaking of which, why did you bring me here? Is there a new job? I have to make it clear in advance that I don't want to be too far away from the shelter, and I don't want to live outside…"

Hey?

You are quite picky.

Chu Guang: "Okay, it's decided. I'll throw you out for two days."

Xia Yan was so bitter when she heard that she really changed her position. She murmured in a wronged voice.

"Hey... If you have any opinions about me, just tell me. I'll change it, right?"

Chu Guang glanced at her without saying anything, and took her directly to the elevator of the Pioneer. A woman in a white winter coat had been waiting there for a long time and smiled at the two of them.

Her name is Wu Ya, a medical staff member of the Pioneer Logistics Department, who is good at surgical operations and implant-related research.

Walking up to her, Chu Guang got straight to the point.

"Doctor Wu, this is the cripple. I'll leave it to you."

Doctor Wu smiled at the name of the cripple and said with a smile in his eyes.

"Please rest assured, our technology is professional."

"Well, don't let her die."

"!! Wait, what do you mean by death?" Xia Yan was confused by this conversation, her face turned pale, and she took a step back nervously, "You, what are you going to do to me."

Wu Ya couldn't help laughing after all, and looked at Chu Guang with a complaint, then looked at her patient and said.

"Your boss is joking with you. He bought a mechanical prosthesis for you, and I will install it for you later. Please rest assured that prosthetic implant surgery is a very mature technology here, and the probability of an accident is less than 1%, and even if an accident occurs, the risk is completely controllable."

Implant prosthesis?

Surgery?

Xia Yan was stunned.

After a long while, she looked at Chu Guang in disbelief.

"You..."

Knowing what she wanted to say, and knowing that this vulgar guy couldn't say anything nice to thank people, Chu Guang waved his hand indifferently, indicating that she could stop.

"No need to thank me, just work hard to repay me."

After saying this, he walked towards the action camp, where the players were still waiting for him to arrange work.

Looking at Chu Guang's back as he left, Xia Yan was slightly stunned, and her mood was gradually filled with complex emotions.

Implanted prosthesis...

That should be very expensive.

At least it is very expensive in Boulder City.

She had seen it several times in the shop window. Some powerful implanted prostheses can even be comparable to a bionic man with elementary intelligence. Even citizens with citizenship would shake their heads and say they can't afford it.

Generally speaking, only powerful mercenaries or private armed forces supported by big bosses have the opportunity to use such expensive equipment.

To be honest, after seeing her legs become like that, she basically had no hope for the future. Even if Chu Guang once told her that if she performed well, he would give her a leg, she never took it seriously and just regarded it as a pie in the sky.

After all, it was worth tens of thousands of chips.

How could he use it on someone like me...

Not to mention that the guy was talking to me in a joking tone.

"Do you need me to wait for you for a while?" Walking to her side, Dr. Wu Ya said softly, "Anyway, you are the only one scheduled for surgery today."

Pulling up her collar to hide her red ears from the cold, Xia Yan grabbed the crutches stuck in the snow again, turned her head and looked at the elevator and whispered.

"No need..."

"Let's go."
