"Watch properly, put this rough end here and carefully insert it into the hole." Xu Yi took a half finished screw bolt and put it on the capping machine, "You have to pay attention to this next part. After you put it in, you must move away from the capping machine and you definitely cannot put your hand in. Otherwise, once the machine starts, it will destroy your entire hand, do you understand?"

Around Xu Yi were the hundred slaves Viscount Leslie had temporarily lent him. They were seriously listening to Xu Yi, nodding to signify they understood.

"Good, next you press down on this switch." Xu Yi reached out to softly press the on button for the capping machine.

The flowing light green and scarlet red light signaling magic flowing lit up and the head of the capping machine fell down.

"Hong——"

The sudden explosive sound caused the surrounding slaves to jump back in fright. Some of the more timid slaves even squatted down as their bodies trembled.

"Don't be afraid, it's not an explosion! Get up and look!" Xu Yi reprimanded, trying his best to regain order among the slaves.

Under the gazes of the slaves, Xu Yi took out the half finished screw from the hole of the capping machine, raising it to show everyone.

"Do you see this? This side of the screw has a cross shaped groove on it, that means that the product is finished. What you need to do now is check to see if the cross shaped groove matches the requirements." Xu Yi took out an iron stick with a cross shaped tip and placed it into the head of the screw bolt, which fit perfectly, "Do you see this? If this stick can fit inside, it means that it meets the requirements and it can be taken to the next part of the process."

The slaves nodded like they understood and didn't understand at the same time.

To people like them who had positions as slaves, magic was not something they could touch at all. Not to mention a machine that seemed this complicated and mysterious. If it were normal times, they wouldn't even have the chance to touch this machine, not to mention operating it.

But since they came here, Heinz under Xu Yi's orders had treated the slaves impartially and was very comprehensive about their living conditions. This filled the hearts of the slaves with gratitude towards Xu Yi and Heinz, therefore when Xu Yi had three slaves come forward to attempt controlling the machine, even if they had hearts filled with fear of the machine, they still obediently came forward to operate it.

Actually, the controls for the capping machine was very simple and these slaves had normal intelligence. Under Xu Yi's personal guidance, they overcame their fear of the machine and quickly learned how to operate it.

Seeing the three slaves he picked out gradually become more proficient, Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction. He had the three of them keep working before bringing the rest of the slaves to another machine.

"Compared to the previous machine, this Magic Thread Rolling Machine is a bit more complicated, so you have to watch properly. You can't make any small mistakes."

Xu Yi picked out five slaves and demonstrated to them how to operate the Magic Thread Rolling Machine. He made sure that they didn't have any problems.

After demonstrating how to use the Magic Thread Rolling Machine, Xu Yi brought the remaining slaves to one final machine.

This was made with a cooperation between Xu Yi and Master Lanus, it was the newly made Miniature Magic Punch Press.

"This machine is relatively simple to operate, but it is much more dangerous than the other two machines. If you don't pay attention, there wouldn't be a problem turning your entire body into a meat patty, so you have to be seriously careful." Since these slaves didn't have any knowledge of how dangerous these magic machines were, Xu Yi had to warn them first. He proposed a set of very strict work guidelines to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Watch properly, place this iron sheet here first. You have to be careful, this iron sheet has to perfectly fit into the model, there can't be any cracks at all. Next, you close the model and move back a bit before pressing the on switch."

"Peng——"

The Miniature Magic Punch Press's two giant sides crushed together and the lat iron sheet under the giant pressure turned into a half circular Magic Fan outer cover.

This Miniature Magic Punch Press was naturally used to create batches of Magic Fan outer covers.

In this new workshop that had only been built for two days, there were five different kinds of magic machines that were responsible for making the different parts of the second generation Magic Fan.

With the help of these machines, the requirement for human skill was lowered, so Xu Yi could finally give up on those blacksmiths in Banta City. Just based on the slaves Viscount Leslie gave him, he could produce the Magic Fans.

Of course, the Magic Array that was the core of the Magic Fan still required the students to finish.

After he finished teaching these slaves how to operate the machines, Xu Yi had the slaves scatter and he taught them how to assemble a single Magic Fan from the components.

If assembling the complete Magic Fan was a very complicated process, then after separating them into several parts, it became incomparably simple.

One group of slaves only needed to learn how to put together a few pieces, another group needed to learn how to thread iron wire into the same place and form a protective net, and another group had an even more simple job which was to put in the screw bolts…..

These slaves hadn't undergone any learning at all, so their understanding abilities weren't too high, but as long as their intelligence was normal, they could grasp this simple work without any problems.

Xu Yi worked all morning and these slaves began to familiarize themselves with their work. The entire workshop was filled with an intense working environment.

Xu Yi happily looked at his achievement and gave a satisfied nod.

Next, as long as the number of workers were adjusted based on their efficiency, the entire line would proceed much more smoothly.

As for this work, of course it was given to Heinz as the plant manager to handle, it didn't need Xu Yi to personally care about this.

Seeing the slaves become more and more familiar with the controls of the machines, Xu Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected a superiority he had on the Sines Continent.

Compared to the highly developed industrial system on earth, perhaps there were many things the Sines Continent couldn't compare to.

But there was one superiority where earth lacked far behind the Sines Continent.

That was energy.

Earth's main energy sources are petroleum, coal, water, wind, solar, nuclear energy, and etc…...

Of these energy sources, whether it was using petroleum, coal, or the developing nuclear energy technology, they all had one fatal flaw. That was the fact that they were serious pollutants.

In any industrialized country on earth, the environment would suffer from the pollution and destruction caused by this industrialization. Finally, they would have to spend a large amount of manpower and effort to restore the environment.

As for hydro, wind, and solar power that had few pollutants, because their energy efficiency was low, they couldn't be brought into the mainstream.

Compared to this, the magic machines that Xu Yi was currently researching used Magic Arrays as their driving source. To keep these Magic Arrays working, one needed to use Magic Crystals.

No matter what kind of Magic Array it was, after the Magic Crystal consumed the magic inside, it would become a normal piece of stone. It wouldn't create any pollution at all.

Even the High Grade Magic Crystal, it was completely condensed from magic. So if all the magic inside was consumed, the Magic Crystal would then disappear and wouldn't leave a single trace, so naturally there also wouldn't be any pollution at all.

Other than that, Magic Crystals also had a bigger advantage which was that there was a higher energy efficiency.

Just a very small piece of Magic Crystal was enough to support the Magic Fan for three entire days. If one were to switch it out for a normal electric fan on earth, it would take at least three kilowatts of electricity.

Converting this three kilowatts of energy, according to the standard on earth, one would need to burn one kilogram of coal. At the same time, one would release as high as four kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.

Based on the energy conversion and the scale of pollution, the Magic Crystal had an unparalleled advantage.

Not to mention that because of the low industrial base of the Sines Continent, the consumption of the Magic Fan Xu Yi made far surpassed the electric fans of earth that had been improved many times.

If this aspect could match the standard of earth, then the Magic Crystal consumption would be even lower.

As for the Magic Crystal? It could be found almost everywhere on the Sines Continent. Just Banta City alone had three large scale Magic Crystal Mines.

Moreover, since the Magic Crystals were very common, other than those high quality Magic Crystal Ores, the normal Magic Crystal Ores were basically ignored by everyone.

"Heinz, go buy some more Magic Crystal Mines." Xu Yi suddenly said to Heinz beside him who had been watching the slaves work.

"Ha? Why are you suddenly buying more Magic Crystal Mines?" Even if he was already accustomed to Xu Yi's sudden and random thought process, Heinz was still stunned, "If you want Magic Crystals, we can just buy them from other companies. If we were mine it ourselves, the cost will probably be even higher."

"No, we must buy some mines. We need to do our best to buy more and more." Xu Yi seriously said, "Remember, for things like energy, there will be less the more we use. No matter what, it's best if we can control it ourselves."

Heinz looked at Xu Yi with narrowed brows, not knowing why he suddenly had this kind of thought.

But he also understood that his foresight couldn't compare to Xu Yi. Since he already made this decision, he must have his own reasoning.

"Alright, I'll go take care of it."

Xu Yi grabbed Heinz's shoulder and urged in a deep voice, "Remember, this matter must be handled quickly and as secretly as possible, understood?"

Heinz couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Secretly? This was something that wasn't worth mentioning, was there a need to keep it a secret?

Everyone reached the Sinn's house and no doubt they all are excited to build the Electrosil machine. Liam said 'I think now we need to build this machine we are running out of time' Sinn replied yeah you are right and our basic plan is to capture energy from thunder clouds with the help of a large capacitor. Suddenly Liam stopped him and asked 'if we use large capacitor then the surrounding particles will be ionized that's the reason why most of the home appliances do not use high power capacitor' yes that's right I know about the limit of capacitor but if we use large thin plates separated by very very small distance then we can reduce the effect. I think it will help you, Liam, now get back to our plan capacitor will store the energy and then we will remove one of its plate to use the stored energy but this is the hardest part and that's why I need your dad Liam. After thinking about it Liam's Dad replied 'if we remove the plate the stored energy will try to find a path so there we hit the jackpot if I am not wrong you want to use that energy and you don't know how to control such a large amount of energy well its simple you need a magnetic roller' Prof. Makoy trying hard to not laugh but he burst up you want a magnetic roller how you are so sure that we will not break any of the natures law playing with nature's two most powerful forces magnetic and electric will not be a children's game we better stop here and wait for the neighbouring country to help us. Liam's dad replied ' hahaha wait for help they will never help us this is the time of elections and the government will show their kindness when half of the island will shrink into the ocean. The winds are becoming colder and colder and Prof. Makoy is not in the mood of arguing but still he is smiling and said with a low voice 'ok you want to use magnetic roller then use it but don't blame me if anything goes wrong' Then everyone starts working to build the electrosil machine Liam and Sinn are worried about Prof. Makoy so Sinn asked Liam's dad about the weird behaviour of prof. Makoy then after a while taking a long breath he replied 'it's been a long time when I was young a little older than you prof. Makoy me and his son likely of my age we all are working on a project named Magnetic Roller as for safety we all have to watch it from the window somehow the roller uses too much power when I looked up to prof. Makoy he was very terrified as if the roller blasts up it will make a chain reaction around island and can kill lots of people but his son was very brave to enter that room and he closed the machine, saved the lives of innocent people, but it coasts his own life that was very terrific the machine sucked out the iron from his blood after that day prof. Makoy never did any experiment with magnetic roller ok that's enough now let's get back to our work.
[After doing a lot of hard work they build the electrosil machine]
Sinn said 'Now I think we need to move to a safe zone and starts the machine' Liam intrepidly said 'Wait you don't tell us the whole plan' oh I forgot about it so at last after storing the energy we will use magnetic roller to channelize it  straight up to clouds which is pretty simple because the energy will try to move from higher potential to lower potential and then the clouds will freeze due to the endothermic reaction after wasting no time we have to change the charge exactly opposite to the clouds now energy will be as a protecting shield as the clouds are no longer gaseous they are like iceberg so the charged shield will repel them to fall into the ocean. With a loud voice, Liam said 'you are the genius amazing plan now let get it to start' prof. Makoy said 'come on we need to go into the car that is the safest place here and Drake come in the car after checking all that the remote controls work properly'
[then all of them sits inside the prof. Makoy's car or we can say loading car like before Sinn and Liam sits at the outside part of car]
Drake Pearson with a smile on his face click the remote and start the first phase the capacitor was powered by generator starts storing the energy after completing the first phase they move to the second phase which is to start the magnetic roller within a few minutes the clouds start becoming solid ice but they got a trouble the third phase is not starting which is to use a shield for protection Drake become very worried he said 'boys the remote is not working maybe the controller is broken due to large energy' suddenly Liam sees that it was not controller it was roller it gets a big iron metal in its shifter then he looks up and sees that the water is not freezing but boiling. It can save them but it will reduce the concentration of water on earth as water is heading towards empty space. Liam starts thinking about Prof. Makoy and thinks in mind about it 'prof. Makoy is like me he also loses someone close to him but I will not let it happen to me again I will not lose my best friend Sinn I will protect you then he said 'goodbye Sinn with a smile' then he runs towards the machine his dad said loudly no but it was too late he touched the shifter and there was a small blast that makes him fly through the air and landed above the car.
[The machine was stopped water also starts coming to its gaseous form but there was a perfect scilent]
Drake Pearson opens the get and take Liam down Sinn was crying very hard when Drake checked his heartbeat he starts crying too Prof. Makoy said  ' lets get him to hospital why are you not doing it Drake' Drake was still quite then he said 'his heart stop beating' When Sinn heard it he barely handle the pressure and run away into his house.

Wu Yang jumped off the stool and looked at the removed bookcase, and a ladder leading to the ground was exposed at the back.

"Doctor, there's really secret lab here, take you down, hahaha." Wu Yang's hand pulled Dr. Abraham Erskine's clothes and dragged towards the front.

After entering the basement, Wu Yang looked at it with surprise. "It feels a bit modern." There are instruments everywhere, a large round platform in the middle, with various instruments and a complex iron machine on it. .

Wu Yang walked around here, "Doctor, that's great."

"Can you unlock me now? I cannot pose a threat to you now." Dr. Abraham Erskine looked at Wu Yang.

"Of course this is okay." Wu Yang walked over and burned the rope on Dr. Abraham Erskine with a lighter.

Dr. Abraham Erskine twisted his body, "Are you really sure you want to inject the serum?"

"Otherwise do you think I came just to drink with you??" Wu Yang said lightly.

"Injecting serum is risky and one can easily die. No one knows what will happen."

"That's really terrible." Wu Yang looked scared. "But doctor, do you think I'm scared? I have experienced more life and death battles than you think."

Wu Yang ripped off his clothes, exposing his upper body covered with scars, and all surrounded him like a dragon. These were cuts that Wu Yang get when he was gang leader. 

There was a hint of surprise in Dr. Abraham Erskine's eyes, "You have seen it."

A flash of cold light flashed in Wu Yang's eyes, "Wherever you are, the weak can only be killed. Don't tell me what is right. Its Either be killed or kill others."

"Hahaha, Doctor, have I scared you? I didn't control my emotions for a while, but I am a civilized person," Wu Yang said with a smile.

Dr. Abraham Erskine whispered in his heart 'If you go to civilized people, all people are angels'

"How long does it take?" Wu Yang asked.

"Twenty minutes," Dr. Abraham Erskine said.

"Doctor, you probably don't know yet. If I don't call in ten minutes, your Karin will be punished, you know."

Looking at Wu Yang's smile, Dr. Abraham Erskine secretly cursed 'Devil' in his heart, and then said helplessly: "Eight minutes will do."

"Doctor, I find you a bit arrogant. Why do you always need me to beat you?" Wu Yang shook his head.

Dr. Abraham Erskine " "

"Stupidly standing still, help me inject the serum." Wu Yang called out. "Remember, you are a doctor, not a fool. You don't need me to say everything. Thats what you want to do"

Dr. Abraham Erskine, who was scolded by Wu Yang, was so depressed that only those whom he respected had never been dared to say so.

"Follow me." Dr. Abraham Erskine stepped onto the round platform. "Walk up."

"Doctor, I trust you very much. For your own safety, and for your wife's safety, I hope we can co-operate happily." Wu Yang smiled kindly, then put on a complex iron machine, lying on it.

Dr. Abraham Erskine took a deep breath. "I see."

"That's it," said Dr. Abraham Erskine, two robotic arms pressed against Wu Yang's chest, holding Wu Yang's body firmly.

"First, a series of minimally invasive injections will inject serum into your muscle groups, then the serum stimulates cell growth, and then penetrates into the subject through the light of life."

Dr. Abraham Erskine took out six blue serum tubes, one of which was placed in the instrument hole on either side of Wu Yang, three on each side.

"Start the injection, count down five seconds, five, four, three, two, one." Dr. Abraham Erskine pressed a button.

Two mechanical injection bonnets were put on Wu Yang's arm muscles, Wu Yang's brows frowned, and it felt like he was stung by a hundred bees.

Six blue sera were rapidly reduced and injected into Wu Yang's arm. Wu Yang's expression was painful. It can be clearly seen that with the injection of serum, the muscles on the arm were bulging.

After the injection, Dr. Abraham Erskine pulled a lever, the entire iron machine moved, and stood straight, and during it standing, it closed together, and finally became a sealed cabin with only a piece of transparent glass on it.

"Irradiate now." Dr. Abraham Erskine inserted a thick tube into the sealed compartment.

Dr. Abraham Erskine walked beside an instrument and began to slowly rotate a disc, and the light came out of the glass head on the sealed compartment.

"Ten percent, twenty percent," Dr. Abraham Erskine said, looking at the dial of the instrument.

The sealed cabin was full of dazzling rays of light, all of which seemed to have thorns and penetrated Wu Yang's body.

The light was getting stronger and stronger, Wu Yang only felt that the body was melting, as if there were billions of needles penetrating, these pains were only part of it, and the interior of the body was changing, as if a beast was tearing the bone , Constantly pulling.

"Fifty percent, sixty, seventy"

With the continued output, all street lights and all home lights in the entire Queens area went out, and the power outages were still expanding.

"Ah," Wu Yang's beast-like roar came out of the sealed cabin, and he couldn't control it.

"Stop?" Dr. Abraham Erskine called.

Wu Yang shouted, "Continue, I can carry it, aarghhh"

"One hundred percent."

The light revealed on the glass of the sealed cabin had illuminated the entire basement and continued to flash.

The surrounding instruments emit electric sparks, which are beyond the range that can be carried.

The glass of the sealed compartment no longer leaked light, and all the machines stopped operating, and temporarily quieted down.

Dr. Abraham Erskine slowly walked towards the capsule, "Wu Yang, Wu Yang, are you okay?"

boom!

The door of the sealed compartment flew out, and smashed heavily on an instrument, smashing the instrument and making it smashed.

"I'm fine." Wu Yang slowly walked out of the overflowing steam.

Mc is killed but he’s saved by the Villain System. He has to go to different movie worlds and complete tasks to earn villain points. There’s more to the system and the story than just going to movie worlds. The story is somewhat simple, sometimes doesn’t make sense but it’s funny and entertaining. I think it’s definitely worth the read. Just don’t expect a serious literary masterpiece or something. Obviously.

Movies: Captain America. Transformers. RE. Marvel. HP. Fast and Furious. Underworld. The Monkey King. Avengers 2. A chinese odyssey. Spiderman. X-men. And more.

Harem: Main girls from these movies. No girls left behind. There are some originals too. Mc steal girls from the og characters obvs. Basically netori. No NTR at all. And, for those who care, all girls are ‘pure’ even if they had bfs before haha

My eyes quickly opened up before a faint light around my surroundings. At first, I expected to only see a pitch dark sights around me since it must be already nighttime and there was no light source whatsoever on the station beside the small flashlight that I borrowed from Ryan.
When I raised my body and sat on the bench, I noticed that there was a couple of small lamp lighted at the corner of the platform. In response, I stood up and began to approach the sources of light, and slowly noticing that there were indeed two small lamps radiating light, although rather dimly.
As I was getting closer to the small lamps, I also noticed that there was a young man sitting in front of them, continuously rubbing some sort of a metallic foil to a short tube-like object with both of his hands. It did not take him long for him to realize that I was getting near to him, and so he greeted to me as a response.
"Oh, you have already woken up I see." he said as he smiled a bit while continuing to rub the things on both of his hands.
Just as I was right in front of the lamps and the young man, I recognized the familiar voice and figure. He was none other than Virgil Clint, the science bachelor student. I also saw what he held on each of his hands – a rolled aluminum foil on his right hand, and a short PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe on his left hand.
"What are you doing?" I asked him as I set in front of the lamps.
"Attempting to power up these lamps using static electricity," he said, before continuing again with a satisfaction smile, "to which I seemed to be succeeded."
I took a closer look at the lamps as he finished speaking. It appeared that he had made some sort of an electric circuit. If I was to describe the circuit, it was nothing sort of a highly technological one. Instead of the usual printed one, the circuit board was merely a square-cut cardboard box paper.
I was expecting to see many cables were stick on top of it, but instead there were only several aluminum foil strips pinned on the circuit board by staples, replacing the role of the cables. Two of the foil strips were edging out of the circuit board, and each of them were further lengthened by cables that ended up on the two lamps.
There were also another two of the edging out foil strips lengthened by cables, with one connected to the rolled aluminum foil on Virgil's right hand, and the other connected to the PVC pipe on his left hand. He then also explained to me the concept behind his idea for the power source.
The concept was that aluminum foil and PVC pipe had a very different material properties that rubbing them against each other would create some sort of electric charging, and therefore creating an electrical energy. While cables were almost entirely absent from the circuit board, the foil strips fulfilled their role in passing on the created energy to the lamp. Thus, his improvised electrostatic powered light source.
I was fascinated to know how he could manage to construct a lighting source just from scraps. What intrigued me the most however, was not how he could make the very unique electric circuit. It was how he could think of such a magnificent idea of power source in the first place. The sight of the lamps that kept on slightly dimming and brightening as he rubbed the PVC pipe back and forth against the aluminum foil on his hands was just mind-surprising for me.
"So, this is the alternative power source that we will utilize?" I asked him again in full excitement and wonder.
"For the time being, yes." he said, as he sighed right after, "However, I still have yet to find any simpler method in generating the power though…"
Virgil then explained that the lamps were from the staff office on the second floor, the room in which Jonathan, Ryan, and I found a dead body of a male. He said that while the three of us were going to the museum earlier, he went there and had removed the two lamps installed on its ceiling. It reminded me of the dead body, so I asked to him what he had done to the body, to which he answered by saying that Captain Quentin had taken care of it somehow, leaving only the dried pool of blood on the room's floor.
He then said that he got those aluminum foils from Della. The first thing that had come to his mind just when he had the idea to make the circuit board, was to ask her if she had aluminum foils in her bag that she carried along with her.
His reason for asking her was very simple and logical at the same time. Since he knew that she was a baker, he realized that perhaps she had brought along some aluminum foils for bakery purposes with her.
It turned out, that she did bring along two unopened box of aluminum foils with her. When she was confused on why he was asking, he also gave the same answer he gave to Ryan earlier regarding the antenna.
As for the cardboard box, Virgil said that he found many empty cardboard boxes, as well as three staplers on the office desk, and few cut-down PVC pipes inside the iron drawer there. They were the objects that finalized his decision in constructing his improvised circuit board. He admitted however, that he wished he had the idea sooner before breaking open the train car's electrical compartment since he did not really need to just for few cables.
He also mentioned that everyone gave out a more or less surprised expression when he demonstrated how his electrostatic power source work, except for Jonathan who seemed to be kind of expecting the concept behind his improvisation. Although seemed to look not fascinated by his improvised method, he said that Jonathan was the first one to praise him for his idea.
Since he said both Jonathan's and Ryan's name, I was immediately reminded about them, and asked him where they were, to which he answered that they were all still inside the third train car, with Jonathan trying to re-explain the concept to those who had still not understood it. Apparently, Della and Ryan had still not grasp it well, so Jonathan decided to demonstrate it as he tried to construct another light source.
It made me wondered on how quick Jonathan could at least predicted the methods behind Virgil's improvisation. Then again, he had probably seen a similar form of method when he was in Gdynia, Poland. Just as I stood up again, I could see a faint and dim light from the third train car, which was the furthest from the platform. Just when I decided to go there to see how the rest of them were doing, Virgil called me out again.
"Um, may I borrow the flashlight?" he asked.
"Since there would be no one here to rub these things against each other, I need another source of light to bring the copper tubes that I put down at the other corner of this platform." he plead.
"Oh, are we going to construct the communications system now?" I asked him.
"Yes, I think we should try if the improvised circuit board could also power up the communications system..." he said, before stopping for a while, "...or not."
"But does not that mean we will need another circuit board?" I asked him again, as I handed him the flashlight.
"You should see his circuit board first." he said, smiling as he turned on the flashlight.
When he turned the flashlight on, I noticed that it was a little dimmer than when Ryan first used it back at the fire department. It seemed that the equipment too will run out of battery real soon. Nevertheless, I put aside my worries about it and headed inside the train car.
The first thing that I noticed just as I entered the first train car, was that both the Morse code transmitter and receiver were already lying on the train seat. It seemed that one of them had took it out from the backpacks when I was still resting. I could also hear some faint sounds of people talking when I stepped my foot on the second train car.
"Had a good rest, son?" Captain Quentin asked, as I entered the third car.
"Yes, sir, I did." I responded, smiling a bit.
The rest of the survivors, besides Virgil were there. Kyle was the one rubbing the aluminum foils against the PVC pipe, while Jonathan seemed to just had finished making both Della and Ryan understood the electrostatic power source method. As I was approaching both Jonathan and Ryan, I also had my attention on the larger size of the circuit board there.
At first, I was wondering if the others also needed the comprehension of the concept at all. But as I gave thought about it, it seemed that if I was to assume for a worse situation, such as forced to get separated from each other and each of us need an immediate emergency source of light, the concept would be of a valuable use then. As Kyle was still rubbing the objects against each other, I told both Jonathan and Ryan that Virgil already needed us to begin assisting him in constructing the communications system.
"Jon, Ryan. I suppose we should assist him now." I said
"Okay, coming." Ryan responded, "This light source is also coming with us, right?"
"No, since you do not need light to see in the dark…" Jonathan replied, sarcastically.
I also asked Jonathan where he got the two lamps from, to which he answered that he released them from the restroom's ceiling. He said that he went to the restroom just after Virgil demonstrated his electrostatic power source to the others, and that he had a feeling that not all of them would understand it in a single explanation and demonstration. Since he was also sure that everyone's comprehension regarding the concept would be vital, he had to make sure that everyone understood it.
When Jonathan finished speaking, we decided that all of us would go the other corner of the platform where Virgil was already waiting. Jonathan was the one who carried the circuit board, and Kyle was the one who carried the aluminum foils and PVC pipe since she had to rub them to light our way. Captain Quentin carried the transmitter machine, while I carried the receiver machine. Della decided to bring a handgun and Captain Quentin's shotgun, while Ryan carried Jonathan's rifle and my submachine gun.
We walked carefully until we approached the other corner of the platform, where Virgil was already waiting with a couple of medium length copper tubes, a thin copper plate, and several cables lying on the ground just in front of him. He was also still holding the flashlight on his hand.
As Virgil was lighting us, Kyle released the aluminum foil and PVC pipe from her hands, and Jonathan put down the circuit board slowly and gently on the ground. Jonathan then proceeded to remove the two lamps that was connected to the circuit board cables, and connected the cables to the transmitter machine instead. Apparently, aside from aiming to re-explain the method, Jonathan also already had his mind to make a circuit board for the communications system all along.
Virgil then lighted his right side, revealing another unconnected improvised circuit board, and Captain Quentin connected it to the receiver machine. Just when I was about to ask what the copper tubes and thin copper plates were for, Virgil took one of the copper tubes, headed for the corner of the platform railing and tied the lower end of the copper tube there with a cable, leaving the upper tip exposed to the dark street outside. He then continued by connecting the upper tip with cable to the transmitter machine.
"Okay, so now… I need your help to do exactly the same on the other side of the platform for the receiver machine." he said, restlessly.
Captain Quentin took the receiver machine, before he went with two other persons there. The ones to go to the other side were Jonathan who brought the circuit board lying beside Virgil, Captain Quentin, and me who brought the cooper tube and cables. We started by getting down to the railroad, before climbing up again on the other side of the platform. We did not have any light source whatsoever with us, however Virgil lighted our way there with the flashlight.
He kept on lighting us as we started to tie up the copper tube in the same manner as he did, and connected its upper with cable to the receiver machine. When we were already done, Jonathan gave a signal by gesturing his hand. As Ryan there started to rub the aluminum foils against the PVC pipe, to power the transmitter machine, I did the same to power the receiver machine.
Finally, it was then when everything became more interesting. Jonathan and Captain Quentin paid their attention to the rolled paper tape, just as Virgil had begun to tap something to the transmitter machine.
- ... -
That was what the paper tape showed us. We also noticed that Virgil had no longer tapping the transmitter machine and was lighting at us again. I then cut the paper tape with my hand, before the three of us headed back to his side, leaving the receiver machine behind us, to confirm if he had sent the right message.
"What did you receive?" he asked, restlessly.
"Here," I said, as I showed him the small cut-off paper tape, "That was 'T-S-T' right? Did it show the message that you sent?"
"Yes." He said, with a great satisfaction in his tone.
Nothing could describe our relief of finally having found out an alternative way of power source and communication means at that night, and thus all of us had a good mood for the rest of the night. After a while then, we took our meals from few of the snacks and beverages we had taken out from the vending machines. As the night did not seem to pass away real soon, the rest of us who had not rested yet decided to sleep for the remaining night.
Virgil handed me the flashlight back, after the rest of the others had returned inside the second train car. Apparently, everyone agreed that the second train car would be allocated for resting place. Both Captain Quentin and I headed back to the other corner of the platform, where Della and Ryan had put several firearms there earlier.
I took guard with my submachine gun while Captain Quentin took guard with his shotgun as we arrived there. I lighted my watch, to see that the time was already at 00.20 a.m. The various things that we had done that day made my feeling filled with satisfaction as I began to stand guard while thinking the next moves that we had to take the next day in order for us to survive.

The year was 2032, and 21-years-old Ensign Travis Burners of the U.S. Navy received the order to transfer his stations to Chicago Military Academy Base after he had just received an award for his recent services. For him, it would be just like going back to his birth town and home town. But he would never expect to witness the complete chaos there as unknown creatures from the sky suddenly invaded in the middle of his first night in Chicago. Before he realized it, the situation of his home town had turned into what could be described as an apocalypse. As he ventured himself deeper into what was left in the city, he became more and more uncertain if he could survive the ordeal, even together with 1st Lieutenant Jonathan Xavier of the U.S. Air Force and the newly-joined U.S. Army cadet Ryan Ming. Did they make it? Did they eventually escape the city, retaliate the invaders, or rather succumb to the ordeal?

Animal Frenzy?
Wei Huo was stunned. He knew that the Animal Frenzy incident would be triggered if the number of animals hunted exceeded its quota in a particular location. However, he had not expected it to happen within these few days.
He quickly looked for Lu Qiqi and asked, "How many times did the Animal Frenzy incident happen?"
Lu Qiqi answered, "This is the third time the Animal Frenzy incident was triggered in this camp. The first incident lasted for three days, where 867 were killed, while the second incident lasted for 10 days, and 674 were killed."
Wei Huo frowned. It was his fault for neglecting this issue. Overhunting would cause the animals to go wild causing all animals to begin attacking mankind. Animals like lions, tigers, leopards, antelopes, wild boars, and poisonous snakes would start attacking humans wildly. If there were any rare Magical Beasts, they would have attacked humans uncontrollably too.
Lu Qiqi spoke as she saw Wei Huo frown, "The animals will only go wild in this area. You have three options. First, escape from this place. Second, hide and wait for time to pass. Third, fight them and kill all the animal invaders."
Wei Huo asked after hearing her words, "What about you?"
Dazed, Lu Qiqi thought to herself, 'Me?'
She did not think of herself. Why would she think of herself? She was just an artificial being. It did not matter if she died.
Lu Qiqi was confused as nobody had ever asked her questions like 'What about you?' before. However, she had to give Wei Huo a reply since he was a player. She said, "The network is not connected. Response search failed."
The corner of Wei Huo's eyes twitched as he asked, "So you guys can connect to the internet? Let me ask another question, can you guys download videos?"
'What kind of artificial being was this? This was clearly a humanoid-computer. Come on! You guys are novice instructors, right? Those kinds of game elves who would answer players' questions and once that task is finished, all of you will change jobs, right?'
Lu Qiqi kept silent for a moment. Instead of answering Wei Huo's question, she changed the topic. "The Player had chosen option three. I suggest the Player head toward the warehouse and equip himself with a bow and arrow, iron swords, and iron knives before heading to the Central Control room and turn on the Automated Machine Gun turret. Please take note that the Automated Machine Gun turret will not be able to differentiate between enemies and friendlies. There are four exits in the camp. All four are equipped with the Automated Machine Gun turret. Deadfall traps were set up at both the south gate and north gate. The Player is requested to check if the traps are operating normally."
Wei Huo nodded and ordered the Giant Panda to guard the area as he headed to the warehouses. Lu Qiqi's existence was useful to him at present. Firstly, he could obtain a lot of information regarding the game. Secondly, he could learn a lot of skills from her. For example, skills like Medicine and Research that Wei Huo was completely clueless about.
Wei Huo did not worry too much as he had experienced Animal Frenzy before. However, he had chosen to hide previous times. He could not hide this time as he needed to protect Lu Qiqi. Moreover, he wanted to test his maximum battle strength.
After all, his current rank had been upgraded to rank Rare!
Wei Huo had reached the Rare rank after his God of Thunder Skill reached level two. How strong was the rank Rare? Sorry to say this, but even Wei Huo himself did not know. This was due to the lacking points of reference as no creature had been powerful enough to force him into exerting his full power.
Wei Huo took out the Strength Bracer and wore it while he carried Dolan's Shield on his back before heading to the warehouse. He found some bow and arrow, as well as knives and swords. After equipping them, he went to the camp's south gate.
He did not plan to escape this time. He wanted to confront the Animal Frenzy incident by himself. He wanted to test his strength.
He carried the bow and arrow on his back. His left hand was holding a blade while his right was holding a sword and he stood guard at the camp's gate.
Wei Huo only turned on the machine gun turret at the east, west, and north. He left the one in the south off to prevent friendly fire and also to test his strength.
As Wei Huo stood at the south gate, he immediately felt the vibration of the ground and heard a whooshing sound coming from the jungle. The first animal that scuttled out of the forest was a Pere David's deer. With bloodshot eyes, it instantly sprinted towards Wei Huo as soon as it laid eyes on him. However, it was only the first one.
Behind it was dozens of Pere David's deer, it was a herd of Pere David's deer! Following closely behind them were two cheetahs and a crash of rhinoceros. The animals had only one goal, and that was to kill the human ahead of them!
Wei Huo took a slight breath and bellowed, "The hunt begins now!"
He then started his killing spree.
For over 100 years, Wei Huo had never stopped his physical training and Qi Cultivation. He had also reached level two in his God of Thunder Skill. He was unaware that presently he was extremely powerful.
His speed was so fast, it was impossible to see with the naked eye. His strength was more powerful than 10 elephants combined and he was way more skillful in hunting as compared to other experienced hunters. This was the advantage of being 100 years ahead!
In addition to weapons developed from human knowledge, Wei Huo's combat strength was 10 times higher than those animals that went wild!
With a sword, he beheaded a Pere David's deer. With one blade, he slaughtered a rhinoceros into half. With one kick, he flung a cheetah 10 meters away.
That was not hunting, that was a massacre!
The Animal Frenzy incident was a punishment to humans for hunting too much, but it was also to suppress the accelerated reproduction of animals.
Only the strongest could survive from this incident just like natural selection in the wild. Survival of the fittest, the precise basis of the jungle world.
Wei Huo's arrow penetrated the head of a hyena who attempted to sneak into the south gate.
At this moment, an ear-shattering roar suddenly came from the south and rent the air. All the animals halted their steps and started retreating. The ground vibrated ceaselessly and a giant monster appeared!
The most frightening enemy was finally lured out by Wei Huo's ceaseless massacre!
The giant monster was over 20 meters tall. It looked like a gorilla but had four arms, white fur, and a ferocious face.
'Four-Armed Gorilla. Rank: Rare. State: Frenzied.'
The Rare Magical Beast had finally appeared!
Lightning flashed across Wei Huo's eyes as the electric current started to appear beneath his feet. The next moment, Wei Huo rushed towards the gorilla.
Pounding its chest, the gorilla roared and rushed towards Wei Huo. It reached out two of its arms for Wei Huo while it clasped and smashed the other two of its arms towards him.
Wei Huo's eyes were focused. He cast aside the blade and sword in his hand, clenched his fist, and punched the gorilla's arms which were plummeting towards him.
Boom! A thunderous bang blared through the air as their fists collided.
Their colliding fist stirred up a strong wind. The leaves scattered all over the place and Wei Huo's clothes rustled in the wind. Then, Wei Huo heard a crack!
It was a distinct sound of bones breaking. The sound did not come from Wei Huo's arms. The Four-Armed Gorilla stepped back as soon as the sound died down. Two of its arms dropped onto the ground.
Indeed, a hundred years of push-ups were not for nothing!
The buffed arms of a man who had been single for over a hundred years was worthy of its reputation.


Wei Huo has been ignored and overlooked by almost everyone his entire life, including God. In a bid to transform the world into a more game-like one, God halted time for all humanity except for Wei Huo, leaving him to fend for himself. The teenager has no choice but to strive for survival whilst waiting for the day humanity’s clock to start ticking again. But wait a minute! What if that wait is longer than a person’s lifespan? Follow Wei Huo on his survival journey in a world infested with mutated beasts and carnivorous plants.

Ugh…
In order to get the best result, Zhao Yu turned on his cellphone and showed the photos of Qiu Xinyang and Sun Yihan to Daheng. This action made other detectives quite speechless—who on the earth would show photos to a dog! However, Daheng became excited and started turning around in circles after he saw the photos. Then, he headed off in some direction.
Honestly, although Zhao Yu knew that Daheng was a well-known fecal detector, looking at this musty building, he was not that certain about the result. But seeing how Daheng was searching around, he could only give it a try and follow the dog.
Unexpectedly, this time, Daheng did not lead them a long way away, instead, it headed towards one of the nearest villa. It was building number ten on the fifth row, which Zhao Yu had just searched once.
"Woof, woof…" Daheng barked excitedly as he lowered his head and sniffed around. Once it entered the villa's yard, it headed straight for the garage on the left rather than the main entrance as expected. Because the building was not completely constructed, the garage was just two empty houses, without a door either.
Zhao Yu had just searched here. The garage was musty and covered with weeds and moss. The place was utterly empty. But Daheng refused to leave once he entered the place. He continuously barked at the garage on the left.
Zhao Yu felt like there must be some fresh poop in this garage. Otherwise, Daheng never would have found this place! But...whose poop was it?
Zhao Yu was pondering as a detective, named Li Yan, entered.
"Hey? You…" Before Zhao Yu could stop him, Daheng had rushed ahead of Li Yan and started barking at something in the garage.
"Team Leader!" Li Yan was starring at the ground. He exclaimed, "Here…someone's been walking through this place often! Look, there are the footprints! And wheel tracks…"
Ah? Upon hearing that, Zhao Yu hastily approached. There were not only human footprints, but there were track marks of an electric car as well. 
Did it mean...there was something there?
"Woof, woof…" Daheng was still barking when Li Yan stepped forward. Finally, he found something extraordinary and exclaimed, "Wow! There's…there's a door here!" As soon as they got into the garage, they saw a door on the ground. They definitely would have missed it if they had not come up close as the door was covered in weeds.
Li Yan saw a handle on the door and pulled it immediately. But he found the door was locked and would not budge.
"It's a built-in lock! The keyhole is here!" Li pulled off the weeds and saw a keyhole.
"Come, Let's do together!" Zhao Yu demanded. Several detectives were pulling on the handle together, but, it would not move. Finally, they broke the handle after pulling too hard.
"Ax, ax!" Liu Xueshan sprinted to the police car and got an ax from it. Then, they start breaking down the door. There was the sound of metal banging on metal after two to three cuts on the door!
"Oh, my god!" It's an iron gate! Liu Xueshan was surprised and dropped the ax grudgingly.
"Shoot it! Let's see if we can break the chain or not!"
The other detectives were distracted by Zhao Yu's comment.
"Team…Team Leader," Li Yan replied, "we were taught in the police academy that bullets might ricochet off metal. We shouldn't shoot the lock because we might get hurt!"
"Well…haha…" Zhao Yu stroked his head and explained lightheartedly, "I saw it in the movies!"
All the detectives were speechless at that moment.
"Well…watch me! Stay away!" After he finished speaking, Zhao Yu selected the skeleton key in his mind. As soon as he decided to use the item, the door was unlocked. With a Hula sound, he forced the heavy door open.
Wow! All detectives were dumbfounded. They were confused by Zhao Yu. He asked to shoot the door open, and then the next second, he just unlocked it so easily. What was going on?
Actually, Zhao Yu would never use a special item unless it was a true emergency. If Sun Yihan really was trapped down there, then the quicker Zhao Yu could get in, the more likely she would be saved.
Once the door was opened, a cold and damp air blew out from below, which made everyone shiver! A deep slope and narrow steps appeared on the right as they looked down.
Wow! Zhao Yu was shocked. The design of this place obviously allowed convenient transportation, as well as an easy escape. Did it mean…this place was Qiu Xinyang's den?
"Woof! Woof!" Suddenly, Daheng barked twice at the door leading underground. There was an instant echo; the room seemed so empty.
"Daheng, lower...lower your voice!" Zhao Yu gave the order to his dog first, then led some team members to go down and check. Just to be safe, he asked Liu Xueshan and another detective to stay in front of the door.
Zhao Yu and Li Yan each took a flashlight from the police car and walked carefully downstairs. It turned out there were about forty square meters of basement below the garage. Surprisingly, they discovered a wide hall after they walked to the end of it. However, they were shocked and got nervous after they saw the things that were laid out in the hall. Immediately, Li Yan pulled out his gun!
Tons of miscellaneous items were stacked in the hall. Among them, there were many daily necessities, a sofa, a bed, a bookshelf, and so on. Moreover, there were many portable generators in the corner!
As they walked further into the hall, a large machine covered in worn-out leather appeared before everyone's eyes. Zhao recognized it once he got a glance of it. This was a large vacuum sealing machine!
"Oh my God!!" he exclaimed in his head. Undoubtedly, this must be the place where Qiu Xinyang had committed his crimes! Qiu Xinyang definitely was the murderer of the Hidden Bank Corpse Case!
"Look…" Li Yan shined the flashlight on the shelf located opposite of the vacuum sealing machine. Many old photos were there, and basically, there were photos of Qiu Xinyang and his parents when he was a child. But who could have imagined that Qiu Xinyang, the boy who smiled so brightly in the photos, had become a murderer and killed so many people!?
When he shone the flashlight to the right, they saw several respirators and some chemical bottles.　
"Team…Team Leader," Li Yan was rolling his eyes in shock, trembling as he asked, "shall we report this to our superior at once?"
"Sure! Sure!" Even though Zhao Yu had a strong stomach, he was shocked by current situation as well. He nodded quickly when Li Yan suggested reporting the situation.
"Woof! Woof!" Unexpectedly, Daheng barked twice at this tense moment. A savage howl in such quiet basement made the detectives tremble!
"Daheng, didn't I tell you to lower your voice? Well…" Just as Zhao Yu was about to complain, he found that Daheng had already gone deeper into the basement, and seemed to have found something as well. Immediately, Zhao Yu got a flashlight and ran after it. Within a few steps, in the deepest part of the basement, he found a dark, black iron gate!!!


A little ruffian who fought recklessly without any morals and bottomline accidentally time-traveled to parallel space and became a Key Case Investigation Team agent. The huge change in identity had him creating chaos in the police station. However, a strange miracle system helped him repeatedly solve mysterious cases, turning him into an impudent ruffian detective!

The problem with the final unit was that the tools were not covered and most of them were exposed. Units like this would probably end up with a higher bidding price and a lower rate of return.
The auctioneer knew the value of the unit was high and started the bidding at 1,000 dollars.
Li Du placed a bid of 1,500 dollars and the bidding price soared to 3,000 dollars in just a few exchanges. He shook his head and did not place any more bids.
The unit was sold at a final price of 4,500 dollars, which Li Du felt would hardly earn any profit. Although the stuff in there could sell for at approximately 5,000 dollars, one still needed to factor in the manpower costs needed to clear the unit.
The auction ended, and it was time to clear the units.
As the weather was still very warm, Li Du hesitated for a while and said, "Let’s pack up the unit after the sun sets."
The storage units had no air-conditioner to supply them with cool air while they packed up the unit. During the auction, many treasure hunters were already drinking a lot of cold water to cool down, even though they were outside the storage units.
Godzilla felt that he could handle the heat and said, "Never mind that, boss, I can do it!"
Li gave him a pat on the shoulder and his hand felt wet—Godzilla was already perspiring from the heat.
"Since I am your boss you should listen to me," Li Du said. "There aren’t a lot of things inside the unit anyway. You could clear a unit like this in, at most, two hours. Let’s come back tonight."
Godzilla nodded his head vigorously. "Okay, boss!"
Hans remarked, "That’s cool! Li, you know how to be on someone’s good side."
Li Du pointed at Hans. "You should be thinking about how to be a good son-in-law," he teased. "You’re very capable with the ladies. You got yourself a wife just by attending an auction."
Hans was rendered speechless. Not too far away, there was an Infiniti parked under a tree. Avril’s parents were chilling under the shade and looking at Hans at the same time.
Both of them looked at Hans with such eagerness and fervor that even Li Du who was inexperienced on such matters could figure out that both Mr. and Mrs. Larry were looking at Hans like their prospective son-in-law.
When the three of them left the storage company, Mr. and Mrs. Larry stopped Hans. Hans glanced to Li Du—he was seeking help.
Li Du gave a pat on his shoulder and faced the middle-aged couple. "My buddy here is a traditional Christian. He’s a rather shy man when it comes to personal matters. So just be straightforward with him."
Hans almost blurted out all the cuss words that he knew!
When it was evening, the temperate got much lower and Li Du brought Godzilla to pack up the unit.
Soon after they opened up the storage unit, Hans came back as well, looking listless and exhausted; his steps seemed feeble and weak.
Li Du couldn’t help thinking otherwise. "Bullsh*t—don’t tell me you did it? Isn’t that too fast?"
"Get lost!" Hans yelled. "How did I get a friend like you? D*mn, I’m ruined by you!"
Li Du said, "You need to thank me, Big Fox—you’ve already reached the marriageable age!"
"I’m not going to get married!" Hans said sternly.
While the two of them were verbally sparring with each other, Godzilla was packing and carrying box after box of items, loading them onto the Iron Knight.
Soon, the quaint, old-fashioned vending machines came into view.
Hans’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the vending machines. "Hey big guy, get the vending machines out first!" Hans instructed Godzilla.
Li Du asked with interest, "This thing’s valuable?"
Hans nodded. "If this is the vintage lever vending machine, then it’s valuable. Otherwise, the regular ones could sell for some cash too."
Li Du asked, "Have you done some research on vending machines?"
Hans looked at Godzilla moving the machines out slowly and replied in a casual tone, "Of course—I know when the world’s earliest vending machine was made."
"When?"
"Two thousand years ago. How about that? Are you surprised? It was first seen in a temple in Alexandria, for the purpose of selling their holy water."
The answer astounded Li Du. "It was so long ago? Are you kidding me?"
Hans showed the middle finger at Li. "Don’t ever doubt Big Fox. Big Fox is an expert in this industry. At that point in time, the church had designed the machine using the lever principle. The ancient Egyptian coins could tilt a receptacle to open a tap that would pour the holy water until the receptacle returned to its original position."
Li Du acclaimed, "It’s amazing that holy water was sold in such a manner!"
"Of course," Hans said. "These religious believers were good businessmen."
When the red automatic vending machine was moved over, Hans knocked on it a few times before using a wrench to remove the back door of the machine.
Li Du also helped remove the back door of the machine; a complicated view of electrical components and wiring circuits appeared.
Hans used the flashlight to look for the label that contained information of the year the machine was made. "Very good, this machine’s worth some cash. It’s a modern machine."
After pondering for a short while, he added, "I think we can sell this for 2,500 dollars."
Li Du laughed. "Wow, looks like we found some good stuff."
"Definitely," Hans said, "a new machine costs at least 4,000 dollars!"
Li was not well-versed in these things. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I thought a machine like this cost 400 dollars."
Hans cackled, "You’re so naïve, my dear buddy—did you think that the automatic vending machine is only a big cabinet that gives Coca-Cola when you insert coins into it?"
"Isn’t that so?" Li replied.
Hans said, "Don’t be silly—this is a technologically-advanced product. Look at the refrigeration system: it chills precise products based on consumer demand, this is known as ‘zone cooling.’
"Zone cooling only cools the drinks likely to be sold next, instead of cooling everything in the machine like a refrigerator. The on-board computer calculates the number of drinks to cool based on time-specific sales data.
"There’s more: this is the Coca-Cola Peak Shift Vending Machine. Do you know how much power it consumes a day? It consumes less than half the electricity of an electric fan!"
Li Du was intrigued by these facts. "Unbelievable! It actually consumes so little power?"
"Peak shift machines avoid cooling the drinks during the day," Hans explained patiently. "Instead, they cool the drinks at night, which is more efficient."
Working in the storage auction industry meant that they needed to keep gaining new knowledge so as to avoid missing out on any potentially valuable item that they might come across.
Li Du quickly took out his mobile phone, searched on the Internet, and began to read.
However, his aim was not to learn about the vending machines, but about the green cola bottles that had attracted the little bug.
If there had only been the two vending machines, he would not have bid for the unit, as he had not known that vending machines were pretty valuable.
They had bought the unit for 500 dollars, and it seemed like they could make a profit of at least 5,000 dollars.
Looking at the information on the internet, the modern vending machines were indeed low energy consuming machines.
This was because, in the year 1991, the Vending Machine Manufacturers Association invested a huge sum of money to develop a number of energy-saving measures.
Between 1991 and 2012, they successfully reduced the annual electricity consumption per canned and bottled beverage vending machine by more than 70 percent.
Coca-Cola had its own vending machine production plant, and their level of technology was higher.
The Peak Shift vending machine was the most widely used amongst the Coca-Cola vending machines due to its power-saving feature. There was a solar panel affixed to the top of the vending machine that enabled it to generate electricity during the day. The energy was stored, and used at night for night-time illumination.
In addition, the machine display featured LED lighting which, used in combination with a sensor, would only light up when there was a sale in transaction.


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

The ring was forged of a silvery material. It’s top half was relatively wider than it’s base, giving it an almost trapezoidal configuration. The surface was inlaid in a leopard print pattern of crushed diamond and sapphire. The very center was inset with a vibrant triangular green gemstone.

As Lan Jue looked upon it, the gem shone with a quiet power. It wasn’t unlike the glowing force living in his eyes. He flourished with his left hand, calling forth a blue bolt of lightning which lit the sky.

The air between them split. The fissure grew as two great hands reached out from within and tore it further. The mammoth figure that emerged moved majestically to Lan Jue’s side.

“Thor!” A booming voice ripped through the area with the mecha’s arrival.

It wasn’t solely by virtue of Zeus’ Discipline that he was able to dominate the mercenary world. It was likely more due to his status as a God-Ranked pilot.

By Michael’s estimation, even his Adventus would be no match for the combined might and speed of Zeus’ powers. Thus had he chosen to drop the transformation and conserve energy, instead calling forth his Angel of War. In this way he could minimize Lan Jue’s speed advantage. However, this didn’t mean that Lan Jue would be an easy foe to defeat.

The angel of War was covered from head to foot in a golden red alloy. It’s expansive wings were embossed with threads of crimson. The six appendages rose and fell as the twenty-one meter monstrosity hovered in the air. In all, it looked like a an ancient, angelic knight dressed for combat.

Zeus, on the other hand, looked as though it was carved from a single massive piece of sapphire. It’s entire length and breadth shimmered like a jewel. It rose twenty-three meters, stretched eight meters across, and stood tall and slender like a bolt of blue lightning. It’s shoulders where adorned with tri-layered armor; the top-most layer was large and tapered upward in to a point, the middle layer was smooth and slid beneath, and the final layer was mostly hidden beneath, pressed against the mechanical arm.

Thor’s peculiar construction and polished, gem-like appearance made it appear more a work of art than an instrument of war. The navy-blue coloring refracted the light around it. Where the armor drew to spikes or corners, certain angles almost made it look purple. As bolts of lightning raced overhead, they flashed off of the mecha’s armor and added to it’s ominous appearance. As it’s chest plate closed, and Lan Jue took up position in the cockpit, a dazzling azure corona of light issued forth from it.

Ke’er and Lin Guoguo looked on with a burning fanaticism in their eyes. “Thor… Thor,” they chanted, louder with each call.

Thor, the great beast of thunder, under Zeus’ command.

Two magnificent mechas, two tremendous Adepts, stood suspended in the air in a stand-off. The Angel of War reached slowly behind it’s back, producing a blazing sword of light gripped tightly in it’s mechanized hand.

When employing a top-level mecha in combat, there was really only one avenue available to achieve victory in a situation as this. Because these machines were practically immune to laser weapons and even cannon fire, close-range combat was almost required. A top-level mecha was defensive, fast, and legendary in their close-quarters capabilities. As a result almost all of them were just that – close range fighters. In the end, though it came down to the skill of the particular pilot.

Zeus responded to the Angel of War’s actions with it’s own. Two giant hands stretched out, their palms glowing. Soon they were filled with a thirty-meter long, double-edged lance. The weapon was shaped like a bolt of lightning, and glowed with a gentle blue light.

The Angel’s wings spread in a smooth movement, and with a single thrust sent the mecha rocketing forward. In no time it came upon Thor. The sword of light tore through the air, leaving behind it a radiating trail of golden-red light. It’s sinister arc looked set to behead the sapphire colossus.

A mecha’s construction naturally included a bevy of power gems. These gems, paired with the abilities of the pilot that controlled it resulted in the aggregate power of a single mecha. The quality of the gems also played a significant role. The result was that a suit’s combat prowess and the Discipline cultivation of the one who commanded it were inexorably connected.

Thor swayed to the side, out of the blade’s path. In the same motion it’s spear lashed out. Contrary to expectations, however, the spear didn’t seek to block the golden sword’s path. Instead it swept around and knocked it aside at the flat of the blade.

Ting! Sparks flew at the weapons collided, the piercing ring a result of their clash.

Gabriel, Raphael, Ke’er and Lin Guoguo scrambled back out of harm’s way. Two mechas of this caliber were known to destroy everything in a large area during the course of their battles – more than your average Adept, to be sure.

The Angel of War struggled visibly from the counter. The slight motion had set it off balance. Thor took advantage of the opening. Electric power raced over it’s form, as it dropped it’s shoulder and rushed in for a body-slam.

The Angel of War didn’t even attempt the dodge. To do so would have increased it’s unfavorable position. Instead it swept out it’s arm, aiming the spike jutting from it’s elbow directly with Thor’s shoulder. A dangerous red light extended forward from it.

A millisecond before collision Thor shifted ever so slightly. It was just enough to avoid the spike and it’s curious red light. The collision that followed was tooth-rattling.

Crash!

The Angel of War was launched back from the impact. Thor hung in the air like it had rammed an iron wall. The Angel had also managed to land a strike. The sword’s thrash had set the sky afire, and a shock wave of energy raced from between them. Thor’s shoulder plate had crumpled. A spike from the Angel of War’s couter 1 was missing. The giant machine buzzed with electric energies as arcing bolts snaked over it.

“Oscillation!” The Messenger of Death hissed under his breath.

“Michael’s in dire straights. He’d oscillated in that last second to avoid Michael’s defensive strike. Zeus really has that level of control…”

Thor’s robotic eyes shone. It’s massive arm lifted and with a mechanic creak threw the spear towards the Angel of War. It cut through the air, becoming a sizzling bolt of lightning. Thor was right behind it, catching up with the weapon just before thrusting it towards it’s enemy’s chest.

The golden mecha abruptly lifted it’s hand, in attempts to deflect the spear with it’s sword. The two weapons tore through the air at each other – the spear of lightning pointed directly at the Angel’s cockpit, and the sword of light racing to deflect.

No man – not even one as powerful as Michael – could survive a direct blow from a mecha’s weapon. Especially not Thor’s.

The Angel of War’s arm hung in the air, it’s blazing sword still. Just a moment too slow, a fraction of a second. Thor’s spear found it’s mark. The terrible screech of shredding metal combined with eruptions of light as the attack tore through the Angel’s chest.

But, unexpectedly, a powerful aura of light surrounded the impaled machine. The light heralded an immense magnetic attraction, which shot out to cover Thor. It was locked in place. Zeus had no means of retreat.


Skyfire Avenue is a street that is 2048 meters long. There are 168 stores here, and each of the store owners is an extremely powerful adept. The Avenue does not permit any vehicles or any robots to pass through it, much less mecha. Even the patrolling police must move about on foot. This is because this is a street for pedestrians, a lane for nobles, hidden away within this high technology world. Lan Jue, the greatest of the mercenaries, code-named ‘Zeus’, has secluded himself here in Skyfire Avenue after the death of his wife. The name of his shop is “Zeus’ Jewelry Store”, and here in Skyfire Avenue, he has been given the title, Jewel Master.
