The Void Walker in American Comics.

Chapter 460 Poverty Alleviation Plan
After seeing Muen's demonstration, both Hilco and Fandel understood the future path of Bottom City.

The reason why they were no match for the people of the Upper City was simply because their technology was inferior. Even Fandel, who led the people of the Lower City to rush across the bridge, only had a pair of metal gloves as weapons.

Compared with the firearms in the upper city, they could not compete with them at all by fighting with their physical bodies.

But now it’s different. They have these weapons made by Mu En, and this is just the beginning. In the future they will have more different weapons.

"Are these made from the crystals I bought?"

Vander's voice trembled a little. Such expensive stone could actually play such an effect. It made his long-dead heart come alive again.

If it was these equipments, he had the confidence to lead all the people of the lower city away from the upper city. They were not vassals of anyone, they were the masters of the lower city.

"Yes, but your crystal is of poor quality, so you know."

Smilingly replying to Fandel, Muen took out a pair of wrist armor-like equipment and placed them in front of him.

"Try it, it's made especially for you."

Looking at the wrist guards that Muen took out, Vander and Hilko both became curious. The previous weapons all gave them extremely great shocks, so what kind of performance would this pair of wrist guards have?
In anticipation, Vandel equipped the wrist armor. The moment he equipped the wrist armor, it suddenly lit up, and the hole containing the crystal released a light blue light.

hum~
He raised his hand and waved lightly towards the open space beside him, and the blue light made a buzzing sound in the air.

"Don't move around. This thing is as powerful as those guns." Stopping Fandel's impulse to experiment with the wrist armor, Mu En explained, "This thing is called the Phantom Blade. It gathers energy through crystals to form an energy weapon. When the weapon is activated, an energy shield will appear on your body to help the user resist damage."

After saying that, Mu Enyou took out a cane and handed it to Xierko.

"Take it. This is made for you. Do you see the dragon head on the cane? Press the switch on the cane to activate the dragon head and release a beam of scorching light. Of course, the bottom of the cane can also release a huge electric current instantly."

The cane was made by Mu En specifically for Hilco. This guy has a very good temperament, and with a cane he looks more like the Godfather of Bottom City.

Taking the cane, Hilco suppressed the urge to experiment and continued to look at Mu En.

"In addition to your exclusive weapons, Wei and the others also have them. They are all tailor-made for them. Of course, their weapon permissions are not enabled now, so you can treat them as ordinary weapons."

After saying that, Mu En leaned on the bar and looked at the two of them.

"So, when can your crystal be in place? These weapons are just a drop in the bucket. Only when the most core crystal is built, you will have the capital to compete with the upper city."

"It will be done soon. My people have received a large amount of crystals, but we don't have enough funds."

Hilco did not shy away from the fact that he and his people were poor, because this was a common problem among the people of the Lower City. Even as the leaders of the Lower City, they could only rely on the Upper City to survive.

Therefore, in order to obtain a large amount of crystals, he has been raising funds everywhere recently, and Mu En's weapons also gave him confidence. As long as he got a batch of such weapons, his funds would soon be replenished.

“Lack of money? That’s a problem. You don’t have any mineral veins that produce crystals. If you rely solely on acquisitions, it will be a huge problem.”

After a moment of silence, Mu En clapped his hands and said.

"Why don't I give you a technology to transform the environment? When the city is no longer a synonym for dirt, chaos and garbage dump, you won't have to worry about money anymore."

Mu En planned to give them a basic environmental device technology, which was the most common technology in the human empire in the interstellar world. After all, humans could not survive in an environment without oxygen, so this kind of environmental device was a must-have for them to improve various planets with harsh environments.

Upon hearing this, both Vander and Hilco widened their eyes.

They didn't expect Mu En to have the technology to transform Huang Jing. If they can really transform the environment, then they really don't have to worry about funds anymore.

Not to mention other things, for the people in Dicheng alone, even drinking clean water is a luxury. If they can change the environment of Dicheng where wastewater and toxic gas are everywhere, they can indeed make huge profits, and they can also attract more businessmen to Dicheng, so that the economy of Dicheng can be developed.

"Is it really possible? If we can change the environment of the base city, we will have more funds to buy crystals."

Fandel asked with anticipation, this is something that can really change the bottom city, it is more important than weapons.

"Ha~ Let alone changing your place full of wastewater, poisonous gas and smog, even the poisonous swamp that kills anyone who touches it can be purified into a clean quagmire."

Hearing this answer, the two men's eyes sparkled. They had already seen the weapons, and if they could obtain the technology to transform the environment, then the independence of Dicheng would be just around the corner.

"Well... but you have to help me find a few more people with mechanical talent. Just because I built it doesn't mean you can make it, so you should understand..."

The two nodded. They really understood what Mu En meant. Apart from other things, just covering the vast area of ​​the bottom city would be a huge project. Mu En did not have that much time to make this thing for them.

What's more, Mu En is not from Dicheng yet, he may leave here at any time. If they fail to master these technologies, after Mu En leaves, it won't take long for Dicheng to decline rapidly.

"I do have people, but I don't know if they'd like to come here."

Hilco already had a candidate in mind, or rather two people. One was Sinkid who helped him develop the Shimmer, and the other was the young man who Sinkid once mentioned went to Upper City College as an assistant teacher.

You know, although Xinjide is developing potions, he also has a good talent in mechanics, but he is more focused on potions.

As for the young man, he had heard from Xinjide that he had a strong desire for knowledge in science, and that he did not have a good time in the academy, after all, he was from Dicheng.

"Go and try inviting them. If I'm happy, maybe I can give them some special techniques."

Hearing Muen's answer, Hilco nodded slightly and walked out of the tavern with his cane.

But Vander remained silent. His children were already studying under Muen, and Baobao was learning mechanics with Muen.

"What about you? Don't you have anyone to recommend?" Mu En looked over.

"Me?" Fandel was stunned. "I think Benso should be able to do it, but I don't think he would be willing to come."

Van der Lein was talking about Benso, this black market guy who also had a high talent for mechanics, and his gloves were made for him by Benso.

"Benso?"

Thinking back to Benso's fat body, Mu En chuckled and raised his eyebrows.

"Forget about him, he's still quite busy in the black market, but his apprentice is a good choice." Mu En mentioned the little one who was an apprentice in Benso's shop. The other party had white hair at a young age and was obviously a non-mainstream top figure. Moreover, the little one, like Wei and Bomb, were all well-known figures in Zaun's future.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that this guy can create a Z-type drive that fools time after obtaining the Hextech crystal is enough to prove his talent.

"You mean the little one?"

Thinking of Benso's child who was about the same age as Bakugo, Vander also laughed.

He almost forgot about that boy. This boy was indeed talented, and even Benso often praised him.

After deciding on the candidate, he turned and left. Since he wanted to abduct the boy, he naturally had to negotiate with Bensuo, but he felt that Bensuo would not refuse.

Seeing that they all left, he shrugged and returned to the room. As for the weapons here, no one could take them away without his permission.

Lying down on the bed, Mu En began to think about the truly useful things in this world.

"In addition to Ryze's World Rune of Quest, it seems that there is also the True Ice of the North that can be used, and the artifact created by Ornn should also be usable..."

There are so many things that can be used in this world, and the levels of various things are not weak. If possible, he might be able to complete the upgrade of multiple battle armors in this world. At least those world cornerstone runes should be enough.

……

"You mean, you want me to learn environmental modification technology from that person?"

Shinkid, who was re-adjusting the ratio of the glimmer, stopped his work, his eyes full of surprise.

He was still full of respect for Mu En. After all, the cane that Hillco brought back opened his eyes. The technology contained in it was definitely not comparable to that of Shangcheng.

"That's right, besides you, there is also the young man you mentioned. He is from the bottom city. Since he can't find development in the upper city, why not come back here and change the bottom city with us."

"You mean Victor? He is indeed a good seed, and he should be more suitable than me."

Xinjide nodded and continued to configure the glimmer.

Now, Hilco has a better choice. Originally, they planned to let him postpone the research, but not long ago, the people they sent out contacted Noxus. They were very satisfied with the effect of the glimmer and wanted to purchase a large amount.

This made Hillco stop thinking. He didn't plan to use the glimmer on the people in the city, but since this thing could be sold for money, why not do it?
As for what actions the Noxian army will take after obtaining the glimmer, it has nothing to do with them. They can't even take care of their own lives.

"No, we must master the environmental modification device, and you are the only one I can trust."

He stared at Shinjid intently. Under the rag covering the pharmacist's face was an ugly face corroded by the potion.

"He should also have some knowledge of medicine, and he can treat our problems."

As soon as these words came out, Xin Jide stopped completely.

He also stared at Hilco's face and spoke after a moment.

"I see. Maybe I should go. As for Victor, you don't have to worry. He will definitely come."

Others don't know why Victor went to the upper city, but he knew that in addition to wanting to stand out and prove himself in the upper city, Victor also wanted to heal his body.

He has a way to get this talented young man back to the bottom city, or he can make him stay here forever.

"Well... the most important thing for us now is to solve the funding problem. The sooner those crystals are shipped back, the sooner we can become independent."

This was the first time that Hilco had a clear view of the future. With the help of the technology taught by Muen, they could clearly foresee the independence of the city.

While they were talking, Vandel was also talking to Benso.

"This is what Mu En meant. He wants Little Bit to learn mechanical technology from him, and also wants Little Bit to participate in the manufacturing of environmental purification equipment."

Looking at Benso who had a ridiculous look on his face, Vander explained seriously.

"I still find it hard to believe that he would let a little kid learn mechanics from him."

Shaking his head gently, Benso's excited heart gradually calmed down.

Compared to the crude mechanical technology he mastered, the technology mastered by Mu En was truly powerful.

He had seen the wrist guard that Fandel demonstrated, and that was why he was surprised.

You have to know that Mu En only used that kind of inferior crystal to create such a powerful weapon, which made him completely understand the gap between the two sides.

"Maybe this is Ike's luck. Learning mechanics from a strong man, what do you think my shop will become in the future?"

"I think it's not just your shop that's going to change. The entire city of Bottom will undergo a huge change." After a sigh, Fandel suddenly changed his tone and said, "Putting aside the matter of Little One, how is Crystal and the person she's looking for going?"

He gave full authority to Benso regarding the collection of crystals. Compared to him as a tavern owner, Benso was the one who had more connections.

Collecting crystals from these people can speed up their pace. When the collected crystals reach Mu En's requirements, the bottom city can prepare to break away from the upper city and become completely independent.

As for finding the wizard carrying the scroll, he could only rely on Benso's connections.

"It will take some time for the crystal to arrive. After all, you know our funds. As for the mage, I have no news yet, but I did receive a rumor. I don't know if it will be of any use."

As he spoke, Benso took out a piece of paper and heated it over the oil lamp for a while. A large amount of text appeared on the originally white paper. This was the rumor he had received.

"Let me see. A stranger who can be remembered by a strong man like Mu En must be extraordinary."

Taking the piece of paper full of words, Vander read it carefully, and the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"So, the guy named Jace in the upper city thought of using the power of the magic crystal after seeing the other party's power?"
