Chapter 44: 420 Meches
Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Li had already finished the paper. After making sure he didn't miss any information, he gave the paper to Wang Chao.
Wang Chao took the paper anxiously.
"Chief, are you happy with what you got?" Bai Zhanbo asked with a smile.
"Hm." Jiang Li nodded and didn't say anything else. He then turned around and left.
"Goodbye, Chief." Bai Zhanbo bowed. "Chief, if you have the chance, catch more monsters for me to practice. I'm not familiar with their body yet, but I'll figure it out after trying a few more times. Then, I can study their body structure and I won't kill them so easily when I interrogate them."
"Alright, I'll remember that." Jiang Li waved.
"Thank you, Chief." Bai Zhanbo gave a bigger smile, but he looked creepy because of his scars. Wang Chao and Ma Han dared not look at him and ran quickly.
At midnight in the courtyard, Jiang Li stood in front of the wooden boxes. The meches opened them. There were many herbs inside, mostly a decade old.
"Convert them to energy points." Jiang Li glanced over the herbs. There were plenty of them and they cost Jiang Li all of his money. Xu Ya made a detailed list for him.
Among the herbs there were a thousand ten-year herbs, five hundred twenty-year herbs, two hundred thirty-year herbs, one hundred forty-year herbs and fifty fifty-year herbs.
If they had bought these herbs from a large Chamber of Commerce, they would have spent 325,000 taels of silver.
However, Xu Ya and the others got them from the small businesses and herb-pickers. The quality of the herbs were a bit lower, so the price was also lower. They only spent three hundred thousand, saving a small amount of money.
Buzz! White light flashed.
All the herbs disappeared and were converted to energy points.
"Conversion successful. Received 3250 energy points."
Swish! Jiang Li opened the virtual window.
The number of energy points changed from 1180 to 4430.
Since Jiang Li communicated with the Intel Meches several times and refilled the bullets of the Firearm Meches, 4 energy points were used.
"Make a hundred Combat Meches, a hundred Cold Weapon Meches and a hundred Firearm Meches."
Jiang Li opened the "Mech Types" window and made three hundred meches with 3000 energy points. After that, 1430 points were left.
A virtual window popped up in front of Jiang Li. There were three human figures on it and there was a "x 100" sign next to each of them.
Countless light dots started to fill the human figures.
A minute later, the three hundred meches were completed.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In front of Jiang Li, there were three hundred meches divided into three groups. They lined up orderly and saluted Jiang Li.
"Greetings, Master!" the three hundred meches said.
"Okay." Jiang Li looked at the meches and nodded. "I now have a total of 420 meches. This is pretty strong. If Zhang Ling can't bring the herbs back from the City Guards, I'll have to do it myself. With these meches, the City Guards can't stop me. Most importantly, the Monsters and the Barbarians will attack Yongan City three days later. By then, I'll also be involved. No matter what Dugu Huangcheng and Yang Zike want, I must keep improving myself, make more meches and form a more powerful army. As long as I'm strong, I'll be able to defeat them no matter what."
…
Outside Yongan City. At the base of the monster army from Green Scale City.
This used to be a village where humans lived, but the Monsters invaded it and turned it into their base. The humans therefore became their food.
"You rubbish!"
Bang! After a loud bang and cry, someone brawny flew out of a large tent and fell on the ground, spurting out blood. It was the monster with a lion head and human body.
"General!" The monsters around looked at the tent in fear.
Boom! Boom! The ground shook. A three-meter giant walked out of the tent. It was a monster with an elephant head and human body. His nose was long like a python.
Hei Zong, the General of the monster army of Green Scale City. He had command over the entire army, and was the Commander and one of the planners of this operation. He was Qing Wenling's trusted subordinate.
"Hu Wu," Hei Zong yelled.
"Yes."
Plop! Hu Wu knelt on the ground. He felt the fierceness of Hei Zong and his body were trembling.
"Tell Dugu Huangcheng we can't wait for three days. We must do it tomorrow," Hei Zong shouted.
"General, the Barbarians…" Hu Wu swallowed hard.
"I'll talk to Man Xiong," Hei Zong yelled, "Qing Ya is the only daughter of the City Lord and my goddaughter. If something happens to her, I'll tear off your skin!"
"I'll go right away." Hu Wu immediately got up.
"I told you. War isn't a game. It's not a game, and yet, you didn't listen to me and insisted on coming. If something really happened to you, how should I explain to Brother Wenling?" Hei Zong clenched his fists anxiously. He immediately left the base of the Monsters with a few trusted men and rushed to the base of the Barbarians as fast as possible.
…
In Yongan City.
In the City Lord Mansion.
Swish! A black messenger pigeon flew into the mansion and stopped outside the window of Dugu Huangcheng's bedroom, flapping its wings.
Creak! The window opened. Dugu Huangcheng took the letter from the messenger pigeon's leg and started reading it. It said, "We attack tomorrow. Make no mistake."
"Tomorrow." Dugu Huangcheng frowned and mumbled, "Did something happen? Why do they want to do it tomorrow? They never told me about it before."
While he was thinking, he had already let go of the black messenger pigeon and took out a white one from the cage inside his room. He wrote a message, then tied it on the white pigeon's leg and sent it out.
In the moonlight a white messenger pigeon flew towards Pingding City like a white arrow.
It was a peaceful night.
The next morning Jiang Li brought a few perfected-stage Combat Meches to the government office. They found Yang Zike and asked him where Zhang Ling was.
"Chief Jiang, it isn't something easy to do. You have to be patient. Just wait for a while longer," Yang Zike said.
"I don't have so much time to waste." Jiang Li grunted and left.
Half an hour later at the base of the City Guards, Jiang Li came with his 420 meches and the armed members of the Sirius Gang and flooded the entrance.
