Mechanical Flesh

Jia Tao quickly booked a room. After the car parked, the two walked to the Hunter Guild in the Southern District.

Compared with the messy Black Stone Town, Steel War Chariot is not only a city that is several times larger, but the facilities in the city are also much better. The ground is covered with bluestone of sufficient thickness, which not only makes the street look clean It is tidy and avoids the hidden danger of insect beast entering from underground.

The only thing that makes people a little puzzled is that the houses of Steel War Chariot are not tall. With the technology level of the old age, humans can build towering skyscrapers, and the new esper mechanic was born. In times, the height of the house seems to have some taboo.

The houses in Black Stone Town are all below three stories. Although the houses in Steel War Chariot are taller, the highest floor does not exceed 5-Layer. Hunter Guild is one of the few houses with a height of 5-Layer. One of the buildings of Layer.

There is a huge open space around the stronghold of Hunter Guild, which is full of various vehicles, most of which are motorcycles, but also a small number of pickups and jeeps.

Although there are many thieves in the Southern District, there is absolutely no thieves who dare to steal from Hunter Guild.

Two burly big men with pistols at their waists, holding their arms and staring like copper bells, stood at the entrance of the Hunter Guild. Although their strength is not very good, the appearance of the two is enough to scare away. Some cowardly people.

Stepping into the gate, inside is an empty hall, the chill in the air suddenly disappeared, and the temperature rose by at least ten degrees.

A huge holographic projection screen is projected in the center of the hall, and various mission information is constantly scrolling on it.

Most people gathered in front of the task projection screen, trying to find a task that suits them.

The dim light was cast from the overhead light strip. The light was soft but not dim.

Many hunters hurriedly come and go in the hall, among them there are even many fierce generations.

"Wait here for a moment, I will hand in the task first, join the Hunter Guild according to the normal process, and need to go through some cumbersome procedures. If I am promoted to the c-level hunter, I will be eligible to make a guarantee and recommend you Join, you can save a lot of cumbersome." Jia Tao said.

Qi Yuan nodded, Hunter Guild is open to all wilderness hunters, but it is not easy to become a registered hunter who can claim missions. Ordinary persons cannot register and receive missions. Only some Bounty Missions can be released.

There is no recommender above the c level. To complete the registration, the transcender not only needs to test the battle strength, but also often needs to complete the specified test tasks, such as hunting a rotten wolf.

Hunter Guild has always spoken with strength!

After Jia Tao left, Qi Yuan looked at the surrounding environment alone. Although most of the houses in Hunter Guild are of masonry structure, there are many metal decorations full of technological colors inside.

Whether it is a holographic projection screen or a steel robot standing in a corner, Qi Yuan has a refreshing feeling.

"This is what the new era should look like!" Qi Yuan said silently in his heart.

A man in a gray checkered shirt came over and said hello with a smile.

"Brother, it looks like you are a bit uncomfortable. Is this the first time you come to Steel War Chariot? How do you call it?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him and felt that there were some people here. This kind of intimacy is like a biological brother who has been separated for many years!

He wears a metal badge etched with crossed swords in a prominent position on his chest, which is the badge of a registered hunter.

"Qi Yuan." Qi Yuan responded.

"My name is Cao Hong, a registered C-Rank hunter of the Hunter Guild." Cao Hong pointed to the badge on his chest.

"Brother Qi is here, do you want to join the Hunter Guild?"

"Of course." Qi Yuan laughed.

"Then brother, you have found the right person." Cao Hong haha ​​said with a smile.

"How do you say?"

"It is not easy to join the Hunter Guild." Cao Hong said in a low voice.

"Just the ability test level will wipe out a lot of wilderness hunters. The subsequent test missions are extremely dangerous. Many wilderness hunters even died because of this. If Brother Qi is willing to believe me, I can help You have completed the registration."

"Do you still have this ability?"

"Of course, I know the Chief-In-Charge of the Hunter Guild. Your registration as a hunter is just a trivial matter."

"How to do it?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Of course it is!" Cao Hong mysteriously compared the money count gesture.

"As long as three thousand, I can help you complete the hunter registration!"

Qi Yuan paused, then hesitated to say:

"I just came and I don't have any money with me, or else you should lend me first and pay you back when I have money!"

"I—"

Cao Hong opened his mouth , Almost a mouthful of blood spurted.

Finally, I met a newcomer and even asked me to borrow money. Is the quality of the wilderness hunter so bad now?

Cao Hong's face changed several times, until he saw the handle of Qi Yuan's waist, he suppressed the urge to turn his head and walk away.

"Brother, I am too shy! Otherwise, I must lend you the money!"

Cao Hong let out a long sigh, then the conversation turned around.

"Do you have other valuable things on your body, such as weapons, there is a black market here, which can be exchanged for cash."

"No!" Qi Yuan spread out both hands, helpless.

Is my ability invalid?

How does this man know that he is talking nonsense with his eyes open!

Cao Hong cursed in his heart, but his good professionalism made him bear it.

"I think the pistol on your waist is good. If you go to the black market, you can exchange some money!"

"This is what I eat." Qi Yuan patted waist The butcher in time.

Grim Reaper was inconvenient to carry and was placed in the residence. Qi Yuan only carried this butcher.

Following Qi Yuan's movements, the butcher in the holster shook slightly, and the light from the corner of Cao Hong's eyes swept across the body of the gun, his expression suddenly stiff.

Fuck!

Butcher!

It turned out to be a fierce person who uses a butcher!

Cao Hong has been in Steel War Chariot for many years and has already trained a pair of Golden Fire Eyes. Not only can he easily find strange faces from the crowd, but he can also judge the opponent from his facial expressions and micro movements. Whether it is a novice or a veteran, it is rare to miss it.

So he quickly targeted Qi Yuan and tried to grab a handful.

But when he saw the butcher around Qi Yuan's waist, he instantly realized that he was looking away.

Firearms are also divided into good and bad. Generally, the strength and personality of the user can be judged from the type of firearm used.

For example, the old model, but the terrifying butcher shooting formidable power at close range is definitely a symbol of violence.

At the price of a butcher, ordinary wilderness hunters would rather choose a submachine gun with a longer shooting range than a butcher.

Because the butcher’s recoil is too great, and because its range is not dominant, it basically misses a shot and can only wait for the enemy to pull in close-range combat.

Moreover, the butcher’s gunshots were too loud, one shot blasted out, and the roaring gunshots could be heard within a radius of several kilometers.

Insect beasts in the new era are not wild beasts that were scared off by gunshots in the old era. They will take the initiative to approach the gunshots and hunt them.

In other words, in addition to the formidable power is large enough, in the same price range, the butcher is useless!

A hunter who dares to use a butcher in the wilderness is either a foolish man or a thug with amazing power!

Once such a person realizes that he has been deceived, he will probably smash my head with a butcher without the slightest hesitation.

Thinking of the horrible scene of Qi Yuan smashing his head with a butcher, Cao Hong laughed a few times and said with a gentle expression as much as possible:

"Brother Qi, since I can’t bear this gun, Forget it, next time I have a chance, let's talk about it again, I will leave if I have something to do!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan didn't mean to draw a gun, Cao Hong quietly relaxed.

"Cao Hong, what are you doing?"

A voice with a bit of anger suddenly came from behind, and Cao Hong was startled.

He turned around, just in time to see Jia Tao hurriedly approaching.

"It turned out to be the Jia Tao brother!" Cao Hong said hello, winking, and beckoning him not to talk nonsense.

"I think Brother Qi is boring to stand here alone and spend a few days with him."

"Don't wink." Jia Tao scolded with a bad look.

"Qi Yuan is my brother, and I still owe him a life, you dare to mess it up, be careful I cut your head!"

"Why! You misunderstood! "

Cao Hong laughed awkwardly, and then his eyes fell on the hunter badge on Jia Tao's chest.

"Are you...promoted to the c-level hunter?"

Cao Hong couldn't believe his eyes. He and Jia Tao are also old acquaintances, and they have done missions together before. So I am very clear about Jia Tao's character.

A few days ago, when Jia Tao was preparing to clear the swamp with Nie Xiu and his brothers, he also hinted that Jia Tao should not go with Nie Xiu. Unfortunately, Jia Tao, who was bent on revenge, did not listen.

He originally thought that Jia Tao would definitely die in the hands of Nie Xiu, didn't expect Jia Tao not only to come back alive, but also to be promoted to a Tier C hunter, the significance of which is self-evident.

Nie Xiu and the three brothers are dead, Jia Tao not only completed the difficult task of clearing the swamp, but also swallowed the task rewards, so he can complete the promotion of the hunter title.

With Jia Tao's strength, none of Nie Xiu's three brothers can deal with it. If he can come back alive this time, there must be other factors involved.

Thinking of what Jia Tao just said, Cao Hong instantly understood the key.

It was Qi Yuan who saved Jia Tao!

In other words, the third brother of Nie Xiu is likely to die in the hands of Qi Yuan!

Fuck!

This Qi Yuan is a dragon!

I actually hit Qiufeng on him!

Cao Hong glanced at Qi Yuan with some fear, forced a smile and said: "Since Qi Yuan is your brother, I won't be ugly. With your recommendation, Brother Qi will definitely be able to join the Hunter Guild. , I'll leave first."

Seeing Cao Hong leaving in a hurry, Jia Tao vaguely guessed what happened just now. Some sorry said: "Although Cao Hong loves to take advantage of him, he has never harmed him. Human lives are different from those of Nie Xiu."

"Are you familiar with him?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

"I came across the wilderness together before." Jia Tao explained.

"However, after coming here, we have less contact. Although Cao Hong has entered the Second Rank, his ability is in the mysterious domain and his battle strength is not strong, so he rarely does missions. , I don’t know how he became a C-level hunter."

"It’s really not easy for a person like you to live to this day." Qi Yuan shook the head.

"Cao Hong should already be a third rank esper now. If you can be half as smart as him, you won't be so miserable."

"third rank?"

Jia Tao looked at Cao Hong leaving behind in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

A guy who lives by deceiving newcomers all day, quietly advanced to the third rank?

Although Jia Tao believes that Qi Yuan has no need to deceive himself, he still has some doubts this time.

Qi Yuan laughed and didn't explain. If he hadn't felt a slight abnormality from Cao Hong, he wouldn't pay attention to this kind of food with his mouth.

If Cao Hong is really just a Second Rank mysterious domain, the head of his grave must have grown grass, how could it be possible that swindle can still be alive and kicking for so many years.

I even made myself feel a bit of danger.

If his mysterious domain ability has advanced to the third rank, then everything can be explained.

The third rank mysterious domain ability already has a certain battle strength, and the method is more weird than other abilities. Steel Defense can resist physical strikes, but it may not be effective in the face of the invasion of the mysterious domain ability.

"This is the reward for the task of clearing the swamp!" Jia Tao walked to the side, took out a thick black cloth bag, and handed it over.

Qi Yuan turned upside down, drew out 20,000 yuan from it, and then threw the rest under him back to Jia Tao.

"According to the rules, each person gets half!"

Rather than waiting for Jia Tao to refuse, Qi Yuan urged:

"Let’s go, I’m not bad With the money, you go to help me complete the registration, pay attention to this Cao Hong, and maybe you will have to deal with him in the future."

Jia Tao is no longer entangled, and Qi Yuan's strength is really not bad for money. .

Jia Tao led Qi Yuan to the holographic projection screen and walked down a downward spiral staircase.

Until now, Qi Yuan discovered that the Hunter Guild's stronghold seemed small and the floors were not high, but that was the part exposed on the ground. There was still more space under the building.

"Most of the buildings in Steel War Chariot are designed in this way. The underground space is much more spacious than the space above." Jia Tao explained in a low voice.

"It is said that the same is true in the Black Steel Shelter. Some buildings even extend for thousands of meters underground. You must take an elevator to reach the target floor."

Qi Yuan nodded, Vaguely guessed the reason why some buildings adopted this design.

In the thick lead cloud, there must be an unknown danger hidden. This danger has not been conquered by humans. Therefore, the new era has no satellites, no planes, or even dare to build high-rise buildings.

In the new era where Weili belongs to itself, the strength of mankind has far surpassed that of the old era, but even so, mankind has not been able to become the Sovereign of Blue Sea Star, and there are large unexplored areas on the ground. In the area, the sky has become an inaccessible forbidden zone. Although I have not touched the ocean yet, it will definitely not be any better.

This World is still full of dangers.

Now, the sign-in point is only refreshed in the area where the gray and blue borders, and it will definitely refresh to the depths of the blue area in the future, and it may even refresh to other more dangerous places, such as the ocean. , Not as good as the depths of the lead cloud.

Thinking of Qi Yuan here, he has some worries, but at the same time he has some expectations.

The worry is that one day he will have to face the dangers that threaten the entire human race.

What I look forward to is that I will have a stronger strength to face these dangers.

Go straight down for dozens of meters, then walk through a long dark underground corridor, and stop in front of a metal gate.

"Here, I need C-Rank permission to enter. I will open the door."

Cao Hong approached the metal gate, a green light curtain appeared out of thin air, sweeping over Cao Hong’s The face and the badge on the chest, and then a ka-cha sound came from the door, the metal door slowly opened, and two fully armed guards appeared in the field of vision.

"Jia Tao, welcome to the hunter's house!" A guard said with a faint smile.

"Thank you!" Jia Tao responded, looked back at Qi Yuan, and said:

"This is Qi Yuan. I am the guarantor and recommend him to join the Hunter Guild. "

The guard gave Jia Tao a surprised look. Although Hunter Guild has a guarantee to recommend this program, few people are willing to do so, because it is equivalent to C-Rank that hunters use their own permissions to others. Endorsement, once the guarantor has problems, the guarantor will also be implicated, and may even reduce the authority.
