Bab 17: Start to Make Meches!
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Alright." Xu Ya nodded and asked, "Chief, may I ask what the medicines are for?"
"No," Jiang Li replied coldly.
"…"
Xu Ya immediately stopped talking.
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, go with Xu Ya," Jiang Li said.
"Yes, Chief." Wang Chao and Ma Han nodded.
"You, you and you, come and take these boxes." Xu Ya commanded a few members of the gang.
"Yes."
"Sure, Miss Xu Ya."
Those members quickly started working.
"Oh, right." Jiang Li suddenly said, "Don't forget to give our members their reward of ten silver taels. After that, use the remaining silver for the medicines."
"Okay, Chief." Xu Ya smiled.
"Take all these back to the Sirius Gang." Jiang Li pointed at the boxes that contained medicines and pills.
"Yes, Master." Wang Gang and the others took one wooden box each and followed Jiang Li out of the main hall. As for the bodies inside, the rest of the members would clean them up.
When Jiang Li arrived at the Sirius Gang, the sun had gone down. He returned to his room.
"Master." His maid, Xiao Hua, had already prepared dinner and reheated it a few times.
"Hm." Jiang Li was really hungry after such a long day. When he finished eating, Xiao Hua tidied up everything and Jiang Li asked her to go back to take a rest.
"Bring those things in," Jiang Li said.
"Yes." Wang Gang and the others entered the room and put the wooden boxes on the floor. They opened the boxes and put all the medicines inside on the table.
"Convert them all to energy points." Jiang Li glanced over the medicines on the table and started converting them. He got 155 energy points, so the number of energy points on the panel became 158.
Swish!
"Sub-window: Types of Regular Meches"
"Level-one Mechs: Combat Mech (unlocked), Cold Weapon Mech (unlocked), Firearm Mech (2/2 can be unlocked), Intel Mech (locked), Biochemical Mech (locked)…"
"…"
"Unlock Firearm Mech." Jiang Li confirmed.
"Make three Firearm Meches, three Cold Weapon Meches and three Combat Meches. Upgrade Wang Gang and repair the damaged meches."
Jiang Li performed a series of operations.
Making a level-one mech required 10 energy points, so he had used 90 energy points after making nine. Also, 6 points were used to repair the damaged meches. Finally, Wang Gang needed 40 points for his upgrade.
A total of 136 energy points were used and 22 points were left.
Swish! A virtual window popped up and some human figures appeared. They were gradually filled with countless light dots and started to become realistic. This was the process of making meches.
At the same time, light dots appeared on Wang Gang's body and were gone after a few seconds. He was successfully upgraded. The damaged meches were also all repaired and looked like they were new.
A minute later, nine meches were made. They saluted Jiang Li and lined up in a row. Now there were a dozen people in the room, so it was a bit too crowded.
"Master," they said at the same time.
"Great, great." Jiang Li cracked a beaming smile.
"Mech Type: Firearm Mech"
"Level: Early stage of level one"
"No.: QX01"
"Skills: Level-one elementary gun art"
"Characteristics: A mechanical creation that isn't afraid of dying, can't feel pain and is extremely loyal. It stops functioning only if its heart is broken or 90% of its body is destroyed. After it dies, it can be recycled for half of the energy points of the cost."
"Condition to Reach the Next Level: 20 energy points"
The information about the three Firearm Meches were basically the same. Their numbers were QX01, QX02, QX03 respectively. They had mastered a gun art and were wearing camouflage outfits with two guns.
Since they had just been made, they only had two pistols each, but the pistols were pretty powerful. They were comparable to the "Desert Eagle." The ammunition capacity was "nine rounds' and there were four full magazines inside.
Bullets were consumables, so energy points were used to refill them. One energy point could already refill all the bullets a Firearm Mech needed.
As the meches reached higher levels they could get "rifles," "submachine guns" and "machine guns," which were more powerful and were definitely great weapons for taking lives on the battlefield. However, the weakness of the Firearm Meches was that they would be weaker than the Combat Meches if they lost their guns. They might even not be able to beat Martial Artists of the same level.
"Mech Type: Combat Mech"
"Level: Peak stage of level one"
"No.: GD01 (Wang Gang)"
"Skills: Level-one advanced combat art"
"Equipment: Level-one advanced special alloy gloves"
"Characteristics: A mechanical creation that isn't afraid of dying, can't feel pain and is extremely loyal. It stops functioning only if its heart is broken or 90% of its body is destroyed. After it dies, it can be recycled for half of the energy points of the cost."
"Condition to Reach the Next Level: 80 energy points"
After Wang Gang was upgraded to the peak stage of level one, his skill, equipment and strength were all enhanced, but he didn't look different on the outside. As for his ranking, he was promoted from a Private First Class to a Corporal.
…
At midnight, Xu Ya, Wang Chao and Ma Han got back. They came with a carriage that carried a few boxes of herbs and entered the courtyard of the Sirius Gang.
"Chief, your herbs are here," Ma Han yelled.
"Good." Jiang Li immediately opened the door and went to the courtyard.
"Chief, those gold, silver and jewelry were worth almost twenty thousand. After giving out the rewards of our members, we used the remaining money for herbs as well." Xu Ya came up and pointed at the boxes on the carriage. "Please have a look."
"Open it," Jiang Li said.
"Yes, Chief." Wang Chao opened the box on the top. There were common herbs like wild ginseng and fleeceflower roots.
"Great, great." Jiang Li was thrilled.
"Xu Ya, well done." Jiang Li took out a bottle of Blood Energy Pills. "This is your reward."
"Thank you, Chief." Xu Ya took the bottle with a smile.
"Wang Chao, Ma Han, you two also did a great job." Jiang Li gave them a level-one elementary internal force art, the "Energy Nurturing Art." They both took it with gratitude and were extremely excited.
The thing was, Wang Chao and Ma Han were only ordinary members of the gang. It was difficult for them to practice Martial Arts and internal force. Even Pang Kui only practiced the level-one elementary "Vitality Nurturing Art". So with the internal force art, Wang Chao and Ma Han finally had the chance to climb up the social ladder.
"Get some rest," Jiang Li waved and said.
"Yes, Chief." Wang Chao and Ma Han bowed and left. They couldn't wait to try practicing the Energy Nurturing Art.
"Chief, can we really take down Eagle Claw Hall?" Xu Ya suddenly asked.
Jiang Li didn't answer her, but glanced at her calmly. "It's late. You should go to bed."
"Yes, Chief." Xu Ya took a deep breath and left the courtyard.
"Master." Wang Gang and the others came to Jiang Li when there was nobody else left.
"Take these inside," Jiang Li pointed at the box and said.
