Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 163 Entering the Village
Liupanshui is located in the Wumeng Mountains in western Guizhou. The straight-line distance between it and the five neighboring provincial capitals is within 500 kilometers. It is known as the "Four Provinces Overpass" and naturally has an airport.

After Liu Ke got off the plane, he did not delay intentionally. He just found a deserted place, turned off the surrounding cameras, and projected a "Delaman special car". After getting in, he sped all the way to the "sketch address" described by Jin Yong.

……

After Liu Ke drove for about half an hour, had a quick meal in a town in the city, and replenished some drinking water, he completely left the LPS city and headed towards the mountains.

Since it is called Biyou Village, it is naturally based on the "village" as its carrier.

As a village of aliens, it naturally had to avoid the management and exploration of the ordinary world. Therefore, Biyou Village was built in a poor mountain valley, on the ruins of a village that had been abandoned decades ago.

Villages that have naturally disappeared, like the one occupied by Biyou Village, are actually not uncommon in our rapidly developing country. In fact, they are quite common.

After all, young people are the future of both villages and towns. Compared to the opportunities and treatment in cities, young people are reluctant to stay in villages. Consequently, the number of young people in villages is decreasing, leading to their eventual desolation.

The consequence of Biyou Village's special location is that the corresponding "infrastructure" construction is relatively dilapidated, and it is not even marked on navigation maps such as Gaode Maps, Tencent Maps, and Baidu Maps.

Speaking of which, Liu Keben was still wondering whether such a village could have regular signals, but when he thought about the fact that the village chief Ma seemed to have talked to Jin Yong on the phone, he felt relieved.

Liu Ke drove along the address left by Jin Yong and tried to find it. It took him a long time to find a landmark. Then he drove on the dirt road for another hour or two before he found the approximate location of Biyou Village.

When the car stopped, Liu Ke dismantled the Delaman, casually put a bamboo helicopter on his head, and flew towards the east.

After flying for about ten minutes, he found some traces of human-like creatures in a remote corner, so he slowed down and observed carefully.

Although it was getting dark at this time, which had a great impact on vision, what Liu had in his eyes was not pure naked eyes.

After he flew over a high mountain, hundreds of humanoid creatures suddenly appeared in the field of vision of his prosthetic eye.

When he looked closely, he saw that those who were cutting down trees and clearing the mountains were nothing but flowers. Seeing this scene, Liu Ke knew that he had arrived at the right place.

To be honest, the design of the Ruhua mechanical doll is also very exquisite. It has an automatically energy-absorbing divine core to provide power. As long as it is not in a state of "fighting" all the time, an ordinary core can allow a Ruhua to work continuously for several years.

After Liu Ke took a quick look, he found that these Ruhua people in the distance were not only carrying stones and wood, but some were also equipped with hoes, shovels, and saws, and they looked like they were engaged in infrastructure construction.

It is worth mentioning that because the clothes of this magical doll are all gray, and the facial accessories are similar to the makeup for burial, it is quite creepy at night, which makes Liu Ke couldn't help laughing a few times.

Afterwards, he flew around Biyou Village from a distance in the air for a few circles, took a general look at the village, and then landed on the ground.

After Liu Ke took back the bamboo dragonfly, he walked for only a short while before he saw the village chief Ma sitting at the village gate, directing many people to carry out construction.

He raised his eyebrows, and then walked on the stone road paved with flowers, with no intention of hiding his body.

But when he walked not far away from the village chief Ma, he heard the other party speak first.

"Brother Liu, how is our village?"

I saw Ma Xianhong sitting on a big rock, wearing a white training robe. His immortal look really made him look like a master.

After hearing the other party's question, Liu Ke first glanced around, then looked at the flying insects motionless on the tree trunk in the distance and said, "I feel pretty good. With your efficiency, it will probably take a few days for those villagers camping in the center of the village to move into houses."

After hearing this, Ma Xianhong patted his forehead and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with this. Recently, many villagers have wanted to join us. I've been working hard for a few days, but I'm still short of more than a dozen rooms."

Liu Ke shook his head after hearing this and said, "It's not a bad thing to have people follow you spontaneously. Large-scale construction will make the village look more vibrant."

Ma Xianhong laughed after hearing this and said, "It's great that you think so."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand behind him, and said, "It's getting late, and the room is not enough. If you don't mind, you can stay in my room for one night."

After hearing this, Liu Ke said in surprise: "I thought you would ask me if I wanted to join first?"

After saying that, he did not rush to the village, but instead snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
Along with the sound, a miniature camping site was projected near the stone where Ma Xianhong had been sitting before.

"As for where to stay, don't worry about it for now, 'Master'. I'll move in once Biyou Village has enough houses."

When Ma Xianhong heard the word "leader," he shuddered all over, but he didn't say anything. He just sat down again and said, "Did you notice that even though I didn't introduce myself?"

Liu Ke sat on the camping chair he had projected and replied, "Although that Jin Yong only wrote your name, 'Master Ma', on the note, but..."

"To mobilize Ruhua in large numbers, you either need to possess a vast amount of Qi, or be a weapon refiner. Obviously, you are the latter."

"And who else could be the weapon refiner who's still busy working on the 'village' construction in the middle of the night, other than you, Village Chief Ma, who's leading the charge?"

"There can't be anyone who's obsessed with driving a divine machine to build a house, right?"

After hearing Liu Ke's explanation, Ma Xianhong also smiled and said, "That makes sense."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "I heard from Jin Yong that you might be interested in the two things I made, Brother Liu."

Liu Ke didn't deny it after hearing this. He took out the sac from his pocket and said, "Indeed, if you didn't have these two items, you would have invited me..."

"I would probably think that this 'New Cut' is some brainless pyramid scheme cult that's unique to the alien world."

Ma Xianhong smiled after hearing this and said, "It's just a stepping stone. If you can use it as a self-introduction, it must be a proud work."

Liu Ke replied, "It really opened my eyes. The effect of this swallowing sac is truly powerful..."

"It's even like a legendary immortal object that can be used as a space container."

After hearing this, Ma Xianhong replied with a look of pride: "The Devouring Sac is indeed a very clever thing, but such a rare item must have been created by our ancestors."

"By the way, Brother Liu Ke, I won't hide it from you. You should know what the Eight Wonders are, right? You should know, after all, the recent 'Qi Body Origin' and Taoist Wang Ye's technique have been widely circulated."

"Oh, right. The Feng family of the Tianxiahui's 'Conscripting Spirits and Sending Generals' is also one of the Eight Great Techniques."

Seeing Liu Ke nod, Ma Xianhong shook himself up and told the Ruhua people to start transferring to the next project. Then he said, "I am also the heir of the Eight Wonders."

Upon seeing Liu Ke raise his eyebrows, Ma Xianhong straightened his expression and continued, "What I inherited is the [Divine Craftsmanship] created by Ma Benzai, one of the Thirty-Six Righteous Men, 'Three-Foot Little Ban Loser'." "With your intelligence, brother, you should be able to understand the use of this extraordinary skill as soon as you hear it."

"How about it? Come join us. I'm not one to hold back on anything. If you're willing to come and learn, I promise to teach you this technique without reservation."

------

Refining equipment, this art is, in a sense, an upgraded version of [controlling objects] and [transforming objects].

Compared to the speed of controlling and transforming objects, refining equipment requires not only talent, but is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and often prone to failure. It has always been a scarce profession.

But the reason why it was able to establish a school was because the art of refining equipment was powerful and could benefit others.

Taking Yuan Tao and Handan as examples, it’s not necessarily true that Old Yuan has no ideas or thoughts, but his talent for refining equipment is a little lacking after all.

As for that idiot, he had enough talent in refining equipment and had a pure heart, but his IQ was inferior and he was missing something.

The current village chief, Ma Xianhong, is the third weapon refining master Liu Ke has ever met, and also the strongest one.

Of course, if we count the hundreds of [Ruhua] machines, Village Chief Ma can perhaps be called the strongest [Shenji] master.

This shows that the [Divine Machine Hundred Refinements] is indeed an extraordinary skill. Just like its name suggests, once mastered, one will become the pride of both [Divine Machine] and [Weapon Refining].

……

After Ma Xianhong extended the olive branch, Liu Ke did not rush to agree.

after all……

There is an old saying that goes, when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.

Liu Ke made good use of this point. Now, his public identity in the circle is a weapon refiner and a divine machine master.

Thanks to the perfect display of Mjolnir and the Greyhound for Zhang Chulan, Liu Ke's two identities were welded together firmly, but...

People don't lie to themselves. Liu Ke knew that he wasn't a weapon refiner, nor was he a divine machine master. At least, not in the traditional sense of "weapon refiner" or "divine machine master"...

This means that even if Ma Xianhong's "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements" was given to him, he might not be able to learn it.

Although Liu Ke felt that Ma Xianhong would not blame him even if he told the truth, seeing his indiscriminate attitude, but...

Who would like to expose their own boasting when there is no harm in it?
So, he decided to observe and see first.

Anyway, his purpose was not to get any secret manual of magical skills.

……

Village Chief Ma is indeed quite hospitable. At least, when Liu Ke suggested that he wanted to observe for a while before deciding whether to join, he readily agreed.

The next morning, when Liu Kegang woke up, Ruhua brought him a bag of toiletries and daily necessities, and also gave him the planning and construction map of Biyou Village.

Judging from the picture, the village's infrastructure is almost completed. Except for the houses which still need some time to be built, all the functional areas have been completed.

What surprised Liu Ke was that this "small village" was actually equipped with a supermarket where villagers could shop for free and easily meet their daily needs.

When Liu Ke took out a tea bag from the supplies sent by Ruhua and boiled a pot of water to drink, he saw a short girl walking towards him with a step that didn't recognize any relatives.

She had a ponytail and wore a white T-shirt with a quirky pattern. Although she was an alien, if one didn't pay attention, she would just look like a child preparing to play badminton after graduating from the high school entrance exam.

When the girl walked near Liu Ke's tent, she looked at it in surprise and then said, "Where did you get this tent? The supermarket didn't stock it, so I've never seen one before."

Liu Ke found her rather amusing, and replied, "I brought it myself."

The girl looked around again, then squinted her eyes and said, "Isn't this... the kind you see online, used by people who live alone in the wilderness?"

Seeing that Liu Ke didn't object, she touched the iron pot on the fire with familiarity. After being scalded, she said casually, "The leader asked me to tell you that you can go to the cafeteria for breakfast. You are a 'VIP', and the village doesn't need you to eat a bite."

Liu Ke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? VIP? Is the treatment so good?"

After hearing this, the girl said proudly, "Of course, go ahead and eat. There are six dishes!"

Liu Ke touched his belly and said directly, "Okay, please come and deliver the message. May I ask, are you... calling?"

When the girl heard Liu Ke's question, she didn't show any wariness and said directly: "Hey, you are quite polite, you don't look like someone from the company."

"My name is Liu Wukui. If you find it strange, you can call me anything you want."

……

Just like in martial arts novels, young heroes usually go to inns, restaurants, and the like to inquire about the situation. If Liu Ke wanted to investigate, the canteen in Biyou Village was also a good choice.

Of course, Liu Ke is not a leader, and his investigation has nothing to do with whether this place should be demolished or developed. He only focuses on three things.

The first and most important thing is whether there are any "valuable items" in Biyou Village similar to the devouring capsule made by Ma Xianhong.

Second, apart from Ma Xianhong, how many people know the craft of refining weapons?

Third, what is the purpose of establishing Biyou Village?
Of course, while there are three things worth noting, none of them are actually that important. After all, as long as Ma Xianhong is there, everything is easy to talk about.

As for why Liu Ke had to look for Ma Xianhong, it was naturally because...

Just as Village Chief Ma believed that Liu Ke was a rare "talent", Liu Ke also believed that Ma Xianhong was a "talent" worth recruiting.

Or……

Willing to win.
