"Your price is already 1.5 times the market price. Even with the off-road vehicle and firearms combined, you wouldn't be able to afford the extra 600,000 Federal Credits, and my G-04 laser cannon is damaged."

Hai Xi looked at He Ao with suspicion, "I'll just give you the cost price for these things. I'll charge you 50,000 for each off-road vehicle, and I'll throw in some guns. You can give me 2.5 million."

"This is the first time I've seen a seller proactively negotiate the price for themselves,"

He Ao smiled and shook his head, "270 million. Find me a modification workshop with complete equipment. Including workshop usage fees and material costs, that's about right."

"This is the first time I've encountered a buyer proactively raising the price,"

Hai Xi smiled and said, "I have a mechanical modification workshop downstairs. I don't know if I can use it."

"of course can."

He Ao smiled slightly.

—Two hours later—

Hai Xi's Modification Workshop

He Ao

He closed the motherboard cover of the laser cannon, and with the sound of a metal lock fastening, He Ao unplugged the bracelet from the connecting cable.

"I didn't expect you could modify laser cannons."

Hai Xi stood to the side, looking at the laser cannon in front of her with a surprised expression.

"know a little."

He Ao nodded slightly, checked the laser cannon to make sure there were no problems, and then slowly stepped back, hanging the energy battery on the laser cannon. ...

"So this laser cannon can now damage C-level enemies?"

Hai Xi walked around the laser cannon.

"Yes, but only one shot can be fired."

He Ao nodded. "I overclocked this laser cannon to increase its power. In extreme mode, it can indeed damage C-class enemies, but it can only fire one shot. After that, it will deplete all the battery power. If G-04 can be modified like this, it is not a difficult thing."

This modification method was discovered by Vian. ​​While studying the G-04 laser cannon, he found that the actual strength of the cannon's metal material far exceeded its theoretical strength, enabling it to support a greater power output. So he tried to modify the cannon.

The overall modification process is not difficult, but it does require some skill, as the modification of the energy circuit can easily cause an explosion.

"Is it that simple...?"

Hai Xi stared at the modified laser cannon in front of her.

Such a 'simple' thing, yet she has never heard of a successful modification of G-04 in all these years, although quite a few mechanics in the underworld have tried to modify G-04.

Normally, within a few days, Haixi would hear the news that they had been killed in the bombing.

Who do you plan to sell this cannon to? And for how much?

She looked up at He Ao with some excitement.

“Three three-million,” He Ao shrugged, “and sold to whoever is willing to pay that amount.”

"So expensive?"

Even after modifications, the G-04 wouldn't sell for nine million. After all, the G-05, which could truly damage C, only sells for less than five million. Unless it's for some kind of collection purpose, but collections generally only become valuable after the creator's death.

He Ao is still alive and well.

So what kind of sucker would spend so much money to buy this?

Then Hayes immediately realized, "You're going to sell him to Thorne? You've decided to let Thorne leave?"

Then she hesitated for a moment and said, "If you sell this to Thorne, he will become a threat to you."

"This is not a bad thing."

He Ao shook his head and smiled as he controlled the engineering robot to drag the modified G-04 out of the modification workshop.

Hai Xi watched He Ao's retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and then followed him.

The two walked together toward the warehouse.

"What are you investigating? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at the mountains of garbage piled up around her and the people busy among them, Hai Xi sighed softly and asked.

How are the service fees calculated?

He Ao asked with a smile, "Hai Xi's role is that of a middleman, and middlemen always need to pay a commission when accepting a commission."

"It depends on the difficulty of the task,"

Hai Xi smiled and said, "If it's not difficult and it's just a small favor, then there's no need for a commission fee."

"You still need to pay the commission fee. To be honest, I do need your help with some things."

Regardless, Hathy was once the number one middleman in the Whitland underworld, possessing a powerful intelligence network. Having her help would save a lot of trouble.

Of course, He Ao couldn't really refuse to pay the commission fee; things that are free are often the most expensive.

"whats the matter?"

Hai Xi looked at He Ao with some confusion.

"Help me investigate someone."

He thought to himself.

"What's his name?"

Hai Xi asked.

"I don't know, he's very mysterious, I usually call him the mysterious man."

He thought for a moment and then explained.

Have you ever seen him? What does he look like?

Hai Xi immediately pressed for an answer.

"I've seen it, many times,"

He Ao, who was walking forward, stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Hai Xi beside him and froze, her blank and indistinct face flashing through his memory.

"I don't know what he looks like."

Chapter 556 The Person I Can't Remember (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Ok?"

Hai Xi looked at He Ao with some confusion, "Haven't you seen him many times?"

"But I don't remember what he looked like,"

He Ao shook his head.

At this moment, he finally understood why Jess and Thorne both called the mysterious man 'the mysterious man'. For someone whose face was so unrecognizable, the only word to describe him was indeed mysterious.

The most powerful ability of the mysterious man is not only that he makes people unable to remember his appearance, but also that before Hai Xi asked about the mysterious man's appearance, He Ao was completely unaware that he had no memory of the mysterious man's appearance.

He had recalled the scene of Jess communicating with the mysterious man many times in his mind, but he had never noticed anything wrong with the mysterious man's appearance.

Considering Thorne's unfounded trust in the mysterious man, it seems that the mysterious man possesses some kind of ability to profoundly alter the thoughts and memories of others.

Furthermore, He Ao didn't know whether the mysterious person's ability was limited to this level.

If he can blur his own face and characteristics, could he appear before Jess under a different identity?

Perhaps in places unnoticed in his memory, 'Jace' had seen the mysterious man long ago, and even had close interactions with him.

But when He Ao tried to recall the memories in his mind, he couldn't detect anything unusual.

This could be because the mysterious person had not contacted Jess under any other identity, or it could be that, as before, before being unexpectedly awakened by a third party, Heo himself would not have been able to perceive the problem with this memory.

Thinking about it this way, Thorne realized earlier that he shouldn't trust the mysterious man so easily because of a question from Heo.

Those who are in the fog cannot see what is happening in the fog.

However, He Ao currently has no description of the mysterious person's appearance, nor any other specific information, so it's unrealistic to ask Hai Xi to help investigate the mysterious person.

As He Ao continued walking forward, he said slowly, "Let's not investigate this person for now. Can you do me a favor?"

He raised his bracelet and sent a document stored in his personal cloud drive to Haixi. "Could you help me investigate who has been buying up these materials on a large scale in the black market recently, and where these materials have ended up?"

"Foxtail grass, purple night-blooming jasmine, ghost-faced flower..."

Hai Xi opened the file, glanced at the names of the materials listed, and then looked up at He Ao, "Are these all herbs from the wilderness?"

"Yes,"

He Ao nodded slightly, "These medicinal herbs all have mild toxicity or hallucinogenic properties and are classified as restricted medicinal herbs. They are not easy to buy on the market, but they should be available in the underground black market."

The herbs that He listed are some of the medicinal materials that will inevitably be used in the process of manufacturing gene-based drugs, but they only account for a small part of the actual raw materials.

The mysterious person could easily provide all the other synthetic chemicals and herbs needed in the process of manufacturing the gene-based drug.

Huiermei Group is the second largest medical conglomerate in the federal government, owning numerous drug patents and pharmaceutical factories, as well as many herb gardens specializing in cultivating medicinal herbs, so it does not...

There is a shortage of medicinal herbs.

Of all the medicinal materials needed for the gene-generating agent, only these few herbs have not yet been artificially cultivated by the Federation and must be harvested in the wilderness.

At the same time, due to their toxicity and hallucinogenic properties, these herbs are subject to strict control by the federal central government and major cities. Importing these medicines from the wilderness through legitimate means requires complicated procedures, and even the mysterious person cannot obtain a large quantity of herbs in a short period of time.

Of course, through the connections of the Huierme Medical Foundation, it is still possible to quickly obtain a large number of import permits.

However, this exposes the fact that the Huierme Medical Consortium is currently in dire need of these medicines. Whether from the perspective of the medical industry or the city of Witland, the Huierme Medical Consortium is not a monopoly, but just one of many large consortia.

Large-scale imports of these special drugs would inevitably arouse suspicion and investigation from other consortia and competitors. Therefore, in order to keep the gene drug project confidential, the Huiermei Medical Consortium will not use its own resources to help import drugs unless absolutely necessary.

In this case, legal means are not feasible, so the mysterious person has no choice but to try to smuggle drugs from the wilderness through the black market using less-than-legal methods.

Having previously besieged and consumed a large amount of gene serum, the mysterious figure should now be operating at full capacity to produce new gene serum.

Therefore, tracing the flow of these drugs in the black market could very likely lead to another gene-based pharmaceutical laboratory established by the mysterious person.

“I know a few big smugglers who smuggle these medicinal herbs,”

Hai Xi closed the file interface. "I'll try to investigate for you, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get the information you want."
