Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 102 101. What should I pay attention to when going to a bar for the first time in my life? (Fourth update)
The Crucible Node City was as prosperous as ever, and Seifer felt it as soon as he entered.

Since it is the closest city to the edge node city and has the most complete facilities, many mercenaries who have just participated in or withdrawn from the battlefield also come here to rest.

Although the body of the Cypher car is quite luxurious for most mercenaries, it is a bit mediocre in this kind of distribution center.

Apart from the fact that the paint job is very tricky and I still haven’t decided on a name for the car.

He was still a little hesitant about the name of the car. He felt that it would be a waste to just pick a random name, but he would also feel uncomfortable if he didn't pick a name.

Coupled with a bit of procrastination, this matter has been put on hold until now.

Anyway, after entering the Furnace Node City in the convoy, the main city area was already crowded, so Sefer had to continue moving towards the satellite city.

The entire underground city was packed with so many people that finally made Sefer decide to take a look at the independent mercenaries' communication board to collect information.

Compared to Leica who is far away in the node city of the United School, the mercenaries always have more first-hand information.

As a result, when I went in, I saw a lot of people calling their friends. Drinking activities in bars were in full swing and everyone seemed to be making preparations.

The most frequently mentioned word was "that node city." But which specific node city it was, Cypher had no idea.

After paying a considerable parking fee, Sefer parked the car in the parking area of the satellite city and then informed the people in the car.

"I'll take a break in the Forge Node City. I need to go offline to gather some intelligence, purchase supplies, and find a way to maintain the vehicle. As for you guys..."

"Aside from maintaining communication, I don't really want to restrict your movements. Just treat it as a holiday."

Everyone responded with "yes" and "no problem." Only Lin Shenxue protested.

Although she has begun to become familiar with the writing of this world with her extraordinary intelligence, she cannot speak. What should she do if she encounters problems when going out?
The solution to this problem is very simple - why not just ask someone to accompany her out?
The premise is that she can find someone.

Cypher continued, "Anyway... Tien, the two of us will go to the bar, and the rest of you can do whatever you want."

"Oh? Your treat?"

"…It's my treat."

Tien immediately threw the inspection form in her hand and jumped out of her workstation on a chair. "Let's go, it's been a while since I've ridden a motorcycle, and my hands are itching."

When this guy came, the huge motorcycle among her personal assets was not issued by the company, but bought by her herself.

After the simple arrangements, Seifer suddenly thought of someone. When he was about to contact her alone through the communication, Shengnai just walked in from outside the main control cabin.

"Shengnai, are you going to the city to do some shopping?"

"Well, I want to go to the medical station here to update my information. I can also use my student ID to purchase a lot of medical supplies at a low price... Although, I probably won't use this car much."

Shengnai chuckled and replied, then waved his hand gently. "But, Sefer, don't worry about how to get me there. I've already contacted someone I know at the hospital. They can just take me with them when they go to the main city."

Such a good arrangement.

After letting everyone leave, Seifer thought for a moment and went to replace the spare body No. 1, and then went to the hangar in a clean manner.

Beside Tien, there was also Dr. Mei sitting next to the particularly cool motorcycle. Seeing him coming, Dr. Mei handed him a list directly.

"I need these materials to advance my research. Remember to purchase them for me. Here's the money."

The account suddenly received tens of thousands of dollars. It must be said that Dr. Mei, as the financial sponsor, was very generous.

The hangar door opened, and noisy sounds from outside kept coming in, making Dr. Mei cross his arms a little unhappy. He watched as Cypher sat astride the motorcycle, and the motorcycle ejected away with a burst of anxious engine sounds.

----

The construction of the entire Forge Node City was incredibly lavish. The extensive roads, lined with lighting on both sides, even made the underground as bright as day.

The street lights on both sides of the road actually looked like landscape lights. When the motorcycle was running, the shadows cast on the ground appeared and disappeared, but the motorcycle hardly shook at all.

Tien, the driver, was practically crouched on the motorcycle's engine, only the loose upper section of her protective suit rustling in the wind. Her panoramic helmet reflected the road and lights, a scene that shifted constantly. The tight, black garment, which stretched from her ribs, fully exposed her curvaceous figure. From this angle, her naturally curvaceous figure and her incredibly stable lower body were captivating.

But Sefer is no longer a human, but a robot. He can only admire, in all aspects.

By the way, the buckle and zipper of this tights are on the back. Do they go around the back and open at the neck in front?

In the spirit of research, Seifer looked at it for a while.

"Are you fascinated by it, kid?"

Tien's voice suddenly came, making Sefer stunned. He suddenly looked at the rearview mirrors on both sides of the motorcycle... Well, that's normal.

"I'm researching."

"Ha, I knew it. But don't overthink it. I had someone modify this equipment myself, so that I can dig a hole and survive even if I'm thrown into the desert..."

Tien controlled the motorcycle steadily, making it pass through a series of various vehicles traveling in the same direction.

It swam across the road like a nimble fish, so fast that all the images except those in front of it seemed a little blurry.

The premise is that it is with the human eye, and Sefer can see it quite clearly.

"Let's not talk about whether robots have that kind of need for now—I don't mind going to the tavern later, but how do you plan to fool those drunks at close range?"

Seifer was confident: "It's a bit troublesome, but I do have some ideas."

After a while of silence, Tien suddenly said, "The report says that the team the doctor brought was completely wiped out, but I think at least two of them are still alive."

"Well... there's nothing I can do. They're hiding their identities and running fast."

"Besides, Dr. Mei tragically died in battle because of my inadequate protection. Now I'm just sending his ashes back—ah, I still need to make some preparations."

He said he was going to prepare, but he didn't say what exactly he was going to prepare for, which made Tien feel itchy...

The motorcycle carried the two people through the interconnecting road between the satellite city and the furnace node city, and quickly entered the prosperous city.

Compared to those mercenaries dressed in strange shapes and styles, Sefer's No. 1 spare body with its rather prominent parts and simple attire is naturally more attractive.

As for Tien, she had just taken off her helmet in the parking area when she attracted a chorus of whistles from the surrounding area.

Not paying any attention to the people chatting around the bar, Tien hung his helmet on the handlebars and tilted his head to signal Seifer to go in.

The bar's gatehouse is flashy, and the huge signboard uses two-color saturated light tubes to spell out the name of the bar.

Postmodernism

It doesn't sound like a word that someone from this world could come up with. Is it another artistic creation produced by a vision?
The bar was not as chaotic as outside, but the smell of various tobacco and vomit seriously dampened the atmosphere of the bar, which had relatively clear tables and chairs.

Seifer's gaze shifted from the clock, which looked like melted chocolate, to the DJ in the sharp fish's belly. When Tien covered her nose and looked for ventilation, she was glad that she couldn't smell it.

The two had just sat down and Sefer was still looking at the legendary wine list when a mercenary came over and asked them where they were from.

When the mercenary heard that they were from Edge Node City, he pointed at himself and said, "What a coincidence, I'm from there too. It was a really tough battle—"

Cypher calmly pointed out, "No, you're not here. At least not on the defense team. You're not on the list of casualties either."

"So, you were the one attacking the city?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the man's face changed.
