Mechanical Flesh

Qi Yuan had just returned to the steel chariot when he saw Liao standing at the door, chatting with a tattered robot.

Qi Yuan was a little strange at first, this method of giving up the body of all carbon-based monkeys and uploading the consciousness into the steel can, although it is considered the ultimate destination of mechanics, but for mechanics below the fourth level, there are very few people able to do this.

After all, the whole body mechanical transformation is a huge expense. Most wild hunters can't afford the transformation cost at all, and the later maintenance is also a big expense. Even if it is as strong as a golem, it is often on the verge of bankruptcy.

But after getting closer, Qi Yuan realized that the robot seemed familiar.

Although the robot in front of me was in dilapidated condition, and the simulated skin on the head was also damaged in a large area, the data center was still 84.21% similar to a face in memory.

Luo Shishi looked at Qi Yuan, and tentatively said:

"Qi Yuan, Master Luo asked me to come find you!"

"You are Luo Shishi!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qi Yuan finally confirmed the identity of the other party. When he was in Heishi Town, he guessed that Luo Shiyi had undergone mechanical transformation, and he had taken Luo Kui's mechanical arms back then.

It's just that Luo Shiyi turned out to be a complete mechanical body, but he didn't know whether he was a mechanic who uploaded human consciousness, or a robot with mechanical consciousness born based on mechanical logic.

Luo Shiyi's appearance somewhat exceeded Qi Yuan's expectations.

Master Luo obviously didn't want to leave Heishi Town before, Qi Yuan was just about to ask where Master Luo was, when Luo Shishi said: "Master Luo is dying!"

"about to die?"

Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback, but seeing the scars on Luo Shiyi's body, Qi Yuan quickly thought of what happened: Heishi Town was in danger, and the two escaped after a fierce battle. Master Luo was fighting Zhong was seriously injured, and finally came to the steel chariot and asked himself for help.

But why didn't he go to the composer?

Didn't Su Li already greet Master Qu in advance? Didn't Master Luo know about it?

"Where is Master Luo, take me there quickly!" Qi Yuan said.

When he was in Heishi Town back then, Master Luo treated him pretty well, even though he cheated himself on Xu Xiaoshuang's matter.

"Don't worry." Liao called to stop the two of them.

"I have already sent someone to deliver the food, and this meeting should have been eaten."

are dying? Can you still eat?

Qi Yuan looked at Luo Shishi, seemingly puzzled.

"It's not that he was seriously injured and dying, but he almost starved to death without eating for a few days!" Liao said with a smile.

Facing Qi Yuan's questioning gaze, Luo Shishi didn't speak, but just nodded his head, affirming Liao's statement.

"He said he knew you before, but I still didn't quite believe it, so I secretly sent someone to take a look and saw that Master Luo was starving to death, so I sent someone to bring some food over."

Qi Yuan was silent for a while, and then quietly said:

"Send him some wine."

"I'll arrange it right away," Liao said.

In the old days, there were many people who were good at wine, and Sickle was the best among them.

After arranging food and drinks, Qi Yuan said to Luo Shishi: "I'll meet the leader of Lingyou first, and then I'll visit Master Luo!"

Luo Shishi nodded. It was only a few days before he arrived at the steel chariot. He didn't know what the name Liao meant, but from the active greetings of the guards at the gate and passing hunters, he could tell that Liao was definitely not an ordinary ability user. , but a figure who is definitely a high-ranking figure in the Iron Chariot.

This kind of person would prepare food and drink for Master Luo just because of Qi Yuan's casual words, Qi Yuan seemed to feel at ease.

This has indirectly proved Qi Yuan's status in the Iron Chariot.

Although Qi Yuan was not weak when he was in Heishi Town, he was only a first-level ability user.

In the steel chariot, there are almost all Tier 3 ability users everywhere, it is impossible for a Tier 1 to have such a status.

Could it be that Qi Yuan has advanced to the third rank?

But how long has he been away from Blackstone Town?

Luo Shishi was shocked and puzzled. When he returned to his residence, he saw a young man squatting at the door who was bored playing with firearms. Judging from the shapes of the two firearms, Luo Shixi could be sure that they were mechanical arming.

A strong man with a mechanical weapon would squat at the door to watch the door!

Luo Shishi suddenly had an unreal feeling, as if everything had changed since he met that man named Liao, but he knew that this change was not because of himself or Master Luo, but because of him. It was because of Qi Yuan.

The young man who had resolutely left Blackstone Town at the beginning already had a surprising position in the Steel Chariot.

Xiao Hei glanced at Luo Shiyi, smiled, and asked, "Have you seen Qi Yuan?"

Luo Shixi nodded.

"seen."

Xiao Hei glanced at the room and said:

"Sickle is drinking with Master Luo, and the two seem to be in a good mood."

It is also the sickle of a senior alcoholic, who lives not far from here. When Master Luo unscrewed the wine bottle, he ran over smelling the scent. The two alcoholic hit it off, and together with the common topic of Qi Yuan, soon We started to call each other brothers.

Luo Shishi glanced at the situation in the room, saw Master Luo blushing and a one-armed old man eating and drinking, and retreated silently.

"You and Qi Yuan knew each other before?"

The familiar Xiao Hei quietly approached him.

Luo Shixi nodded. From the attitude of Qi Yuan and the other party, he could also judge that the relationship between Qi Yuan and these people should be good, and the two chatted quickly.

...

With dark wooden floors, light wooden seats, and simple crystal lamps hanging on the roof, the moment Qi Yuan entered the living room, he outlined the whole picture of the room in his mind.

This place is far less luxurious than the rooms of Situ and Xu Kui, but it gives people a simple and warm feeling. It doesn't look like the residence of a shelter leader at all, but more like an ordinary family residence in the old days.

There was a white porcelain cup on the table, with a cup of strong coffee in it, emitting a curl of steam, and the aroma of coffee filled the whole room.

Ling You wasn't in the room, but Qi Yuan didn't dare to use the area detection rashly to avoid getting himself into trouble. No one knows whether a fourth-level ability user can perceive the existence of the area detection.

After sending Qi Yuan in, Liao turned around and left, and closed the door.

Qi Yuan became a little nervous for no reason. Although he already had a peak third-tier combat power, in front of Ling You, his strength was obviously not enough.

What is Lingyou looking for for herself?

Is it because of those missing starstones?

Or that monster girl?

Or, that woman with the black veil—you?

Just as Qi Yuan was thinking wildly, a flash of blue lightning suddenly disappeared, Qi Yuan only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and saw that there was an extra person in the room.

Ling You, who changed into casual clothes, wore a relatively loose white shirt on her upper body, a pair of black suit pants on her lower body, and a pair of high-heeled black leather shoes on her feet, like a casual urban beauty in the old days.

Combined with the interior of this room, Qi Yuan suddenly had the illusion that he had returned to the original world, and everything before was just a dream.

"Qu Shanhai said, are you going to the Black Steel Shelter?"

Ling You's indifferent voice interrupted Qi Yuan's thoughts.

Qi Yuan nodded.

"I have encountered some troubles, and the only way to solve them is to enter the Black Steel Shelter."

Ling You glanced at Qi Yuan, the trouble that needs to be solved by entering the shelter must come from the shelter.

As a little Xiami hanging around in the wilderness, Qi Yuan not only provoked the fourth-order monster who was suspected of having an energy body, but also caused troubles in the shelter. Apart from other things, this kind of trouble-making ability made her amazed .

"The registration threshold for the recruitment assessment of the Black Steel Shelter is Tier 3, and now there is only one month until the recruitment assessment. Do you have a way to advance to Tier 3 within a month?"

I don't! Qi Yuan replied silently in his heart.

But soon, Qi Yuan remembered that in his energy heart, there was still a foodie of the fourth rank. If it could recover its strength, it seemed that it was not impossible for him to advance to the third rank within a month.

It's just that these can't be revealed to anyone!

"Someone will help me sign up for the recruitment assessment of the Biology and Mechanics Laboratory!" Qi Yuan said.

The recruitment of the Black Steel Shelter is not a unified recruitment of the entire shelter, but the recruitment of those departments that need manpower, but the time is set on the same day.

Because many departments in the Blacksteel Shelter are not short of manpower, those departments rarely recruit wilderness hunters. Point, get some Revenant into it.

The same is true for biological and mechanical laboratories. They often recruit some wilderness hunters, but most of the time, they recruit volunteers who serve as experimental materials, and only occasionally recruit assistant researchers.

Now that Tan Qiu has spoken, there will definitely be a recruitment position suitable for him. If we use the words of the old days, it is to arrange a radish pit for himself.

But that's all Tan Qiu can do, because her authority can give recruitment positions, but it can't directly determine who can occupy this carrot pit.

Inside the Blacksteel Shelter, there is a department in charge of recruitment. They will be responsible for the investigation, assessment and recruitment of the recruits, and they need to be responsible for the reliability of the recruits.

Once there is any problem with the recruited personnel, the recruiter needs to bear joint and several responsibilities, so this department is very cautious when recruiting personnel. A fourth-level researcher can influence them to a certain extent, but the influence is very limited. Due to the influence of the music master, he failed the selection, but he absolutely had no way to let someone pass the assessment directly.

To enter the shelter, one must pass a predetermined assessment process.

For the recruitment of biological and mechanical laboratories, the assessment requirements are relatively strict. For wilderness hunters who have not received systematic training, the assessment requirements are relatively strict. Capable people, it is as difficult as heaven for others to pass this way to enter the shelter.

However, it is also the only recruitment department that does not have strength requirements for recruits.

For Qi Yuan, all he needs is an opportunity to step into the biological and mechanical research laboratory.

After entering the laboratory, Qi Yuan is confident that relying on area detection, energy control, and data center, he can get rid of the restraints of Tan Qiu and Feng Gan in a short time, and has enough self-protection power.

"How sure are you that you will pass the examination of the biological and mechanical laboratory?" Ling You asked.

"At least 90% sure!" Qi Yuan said.

Lingyou lowered her eyelids, picked up the coffee and blew lightly, this sentence let her know a lot of information.

As the leader of the steel chariot, she was very clear about Qi Yuan's matter. Since Qi Yuan could get Master Qu's approval, it would not be too difficult for him to pass the examination of the biological and mechanical research laboratory.

However, if Qi Yuan wants to really step into the Black Steel Shelter, the biggest difficulty lies not in the assessment, but in other places.

The first problem is the biological and mechanical research laboratory, release the corresponding quota!

Since Qi Yuan is so confident, he must have solved this problem. If there is no quota, the registration assessment will become empty talk.

The second problem is to deal with the obstruction of Fengqian!

Qi Yuan stayed in Master Qu's studio for a while, and got along very well. Since he planned to enter the biological and mechanical research laboratory, he must be prepared for the grievances between Master Qu and Feng Qian.

This problem is no longer a problem that Qi Yuan himself or the music master can solve. Unless there is someone who is as strong as Feng Qian in the asylum, it is impossible for anyone related to the music teacher to pass the assessment, even in the registration process. will be brushed down.

Therefore, Qi Yuan still has a backer in the shelter, and his status is not low!

Thinking of this, several names appeared in Lingyou's mind, and finally locked onto Tan Qiu's name.

If it was Tan Qiu who made the move, Qi Yuan might break through Feng Gan's obstruction, but Tan Qiu has always believed in equal value exchange, what would Qi Yuan offer to exchange with Tan Qiu?

As a pawn in the struggle between Tan Qiu and Feng Qian, even if Qi Yuan successfully entered the biology and machinery laboratory, the ending may not be happy!

An assistant researcher was involved in a battle between two fourth-level researchers, and if he was not careful, he would be smashed to pieces.

Thinking of this, Ling You couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, and gave up the idea of ​​wooing Qi Yuan.

If Qi Yuan grows to the fourth level, there may still be a chance of survival.

Now, he has no chance!

"You should be very clear about what kind of crisis you will be involved in when you enter the biological and mechanical research laboratory this time." Ling You said calmly.

"I am very clear, but I have no choice!" Qi Yuan said in a deep voice.

Since the biological samples were taken away by Tan Qiu, this turmoil has been unavoidable. What I have to do is to draw chestnuts from the fire. If the plan can be successful, even if I can't become a second-tier researcher, as long as I have the identity of a first-tier researcher For body protection, I will have room to move around.

After a brief silence, Ling You suddenly asked:

"When you were in Blackstone Town, did you ever see a woman who looked like me?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and a thought came to his mind that Ling You and that mysterious woman named You really had something to do with each other!

"I've seen it once!" Qi Yuan said.

"what is her name?"

"quiet!"

"quiet?"

Lingyou frowned slightly, repeated the name, and then said slowly:

"Tell me what happened."

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, and after organizing his words, he detailed the encounter between himself and You. No matter what the relationship between Ling You and You was, there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, Ling You just took action to help him solve a big problem. It is definitely not a wise choice to deceive a fourth-order powerhouse.

After finishing speaking, Ling You signaled Qi Yuan to leave, and after a long time Ling You looked out the window quietly.

"It took Ling two years to grow to the fourth level, how much time do you have to waste me, when the super soldier plan over there is successful, the friction between the Gate of Truth and Doomsday Arms will intensify, and the Black Steel Shelter and the Quicksand Shelter will inevitably There is a battle, and the time left for me is running out!"
