Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

Did I say something wrong? Liu Ke thought.

------------

In the afternoon, Liu Ke took a taxi to the Nadutong branch.

Because he deliberately wore shit-yellow work clothes, the gatekeeper let him in with a yawn.

I went to the second floor, knocked on the door and entered the "leader's office", only to find that Xu Xiang, Xu Si and Feng Baobao were not there.

There was a man with glasses.

"Hello, I'm Liu Ke. I joined Nadutong a few days ago. I'm here to look for Xu Xiang or Xu Si."

The man with glasses was typing on the computer keyboard. When he saw Liu Ke knocking on the door and coming in, he simply said, "Please sit down." Then he typed a few more words before closing the document.

"I know you. What I just wrote is the report on your incident."

Afterwards, the man with glasses took two teacups, filled the water dispenser with hot water, handed one to Liu Ke, and put coffee powder in the remaining cup.

"Just put whatever you want to drink."

The man with glasses took a sip of his coffee, and perhaps because he felt it was a bit bitter, he paused.

"My name is Xu San."

After adding some boxed creamer and stirring the coffee with a spoon, Xu San sat down on the sofa, frowning and asking, "It's my turn today and my father isn't here. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Are you really that tired? Is that report difficult to write?

Looking at Mr. Xu San, Liu Ke adjusted his facial muscles and smiled rather stiffly, "Um, I want to ask about the cold storage."

Before he could finish, Xu San waved his hand to interrupt him, then snapped his fingers, and several pieces of paper floated over and landed steadily on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"I know what you want to ask. See for yourself."

Liu Ke picked up the paper. There were a lot of words on it, starting with just two words: "Beggars' Gang".

After spending ten minutes reading it, Liu Ke had a general understanding of this organization.

Seeing Liu Ke put down the documents, Xu San's spirits seemed to improve. He said, "Eight years ago, my father and the public security bureau swept out the Beggars' Gang in North China. They eliminated all of them, whether they had extraordinary people or not."

"It wasn't just North China. All of the company's regions cracked down on the Beggars' Gang. Within six months, they were eradicated from north to south, and their presence was practically gone from China."

"As for the one that suddenly appeared in the cold storage..."

Xu San paused and said, "We can't rule out a resurgence. After all, things like mutilation and cutting are not only done by extraordinary people, but also by ordinary villains. They have similar tastes, so maybe they've gathered together again."

After saying that, he turned to Liu Ke and asked, "Do you want to take this commission?"

Liu Ke propped his face up with his hands, rubbed himself vigorously with both hands, and said, "Hmm."

Seeing Liu Ke's attitude, Xu San didn't ask any more questions. He pushed his glasses and said, "Then I'll pass this commissioned list and report to you later. When we find any clues, we'll let you know about the specific tasks and dispatch support."

Xu San turned around and said while drinking coffee, "This is your first mission, so you may not understand it very well."

"The company is very tolerant of extraordinary people, but taking action against ordinary people is an absolute red line."

"Anyone who uses the 'Cai Sheng Zhe Ge' technique should be killed directly."

"As for those that cannot be called, or those belonging to ordinary people, just leave them there for now and wait for us to deal with them."

After saying this, Xu San stood up, looked out the window, and said, "Also, as a person, let me say one more thing."

Liu Ke just felt that the sunlight was too strong, and it made Mr. Xu San's face shiny and he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

“There is a limit to how much one can do, so just do your best.”

Just do your best...right?

------------

After receiving the reply, Liu Ke did not stay any longer. He just asked the Finance Department of Nadutong about the payment date of the special subsidy for foreigners, and then left the Nadutong branch.

He called a Didi and rushed directly to the Seventh Teaching Research Institute as soon as he returned to school.

The equipment in the Seventh Teaching and Research Institute is very modern and has a technological aesthetic, especially the material warehouse next to it. After the dean upgraded his "dog tag", he can use all materials at will, except for those that are too rare.

His purpose of coming here is simple, to get some more weapons.

[Prelude] It's good enough for self-defense, but it's not effective enough against enemies.

"Get the production specifications for [Hercules 3AX] and [Nekomata], and get the highest quality."

"And [Fragmentation Grenade]."

"Okay, master."

The Hercules 3AX is a smart weapon, an assault rifle with a 90-round drum magazine. Its overall design is similar to the Thompson, with bullets splattering like ripples. The accompanying bullets can inflict chemical damage, but manufacturing was too complex, so Liu Ke only made a drum magazine.

In "Cyberpunk 2077", if you want to use the locking function of smart objects, you must install [Smart Connection] on your hand. The system-modified access compartment can implement "wireless Bluetooth" within the range, which saves a lot of effort.

The Nekomata is a technical sniper rifle, and its effect is naturally a powerful sniper that can penetrate walls. Paired with his infrared prosthetic eye, it has a rather amusing "killing the enemy with one shot from 800 miles away" feel.

Finally, Liu Ke returned to the dormitory carrying a large box, a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, and three grenades.

"It's a bit too heavy to carry it like this. How about buying a cello case..."

Chapter 14 Goodness

Carrying a cello case in one hand, a tactical backpack on his back, and dressed in Adidas from head to toe, Liu Ke walked on the commercial street of Jiefang Road.

The big silver headphones were playing Basketball Fire's classic music "Superman".

Yeah! Don’t sleep here. Why are you crying?

Who told you that you still can't figure out the difference between you and me?

Yeah, I am superman.

……

Liu Ke couldn't understand why he suddenly started to like listening to this song in the past two days.

Maybe he's also a superpower? He can't be looking for someone to dance with, right?

There are many people on Jiefang Road Commercial Street, and the atmosphere created by the Western-style buildings makes young people like to come here to take photos.

With such a large flow of people, any business would be booming. Consequently, there were a few beggars begging on the street corners. Liu Ke walked by and observed that these beggars clearly had all their limbs intact, not like they had been mutilated.

Just two days ago, I received a call from the company. The content was very brief, just giving me some clues about the possibility of an old beggar near the commercial street.

Yes, it was just a possibility. So according to the mission instructions, the purpose of sending him here was simply to serve as a scout.

"Although the possibility is small, if you encounter the enemy, don't be reckless. Find a chance to escape and report to the company first."

This is what Mr. Xu San said to Liu Ke.

If you think about it, it makes sense. Real life is never as simple as a game. In a game, you just need to prepare and go to the place to fight.

In reality, it is often the norm to not be able to find talent.

So, Liu Ke wandered around Jiefang Street from left to right, from south to north, all day long, without a clue.

There was no other way. After a day, he was so tired that he had to find a place to rest.

The view from indoors was not good, so Liu Ke simply found a McDonald's and had his meal on a bench outside with a sculpture of Uncle McDonald.

As he was eating, he suddenly felt that "sitting by the tree and waiting for something to happen"...wasn't actually a derogatory term.

Just as he was sighing, he noticed a little girl dressed as a beggar approaching him.

She was dressed in green coarse cloth with patches on it, and it looked like she had found some clothes and they were quite old. Her hair was disheveled and mixed with miscellaneous items, all tied up together.

The little girl was dragging a hemp woven bag and approached carefully, but not too close. She just waited by the side.

The gaze... was somewhat direct...

Liu Ke quickly noticed that the little girl was obviously staring at the hamburger and Coke in his hands.

Liu Ke suddenly felt a little... guilty for having to keep himself out of trouble.

I don't know if it's for the child in front of me or for myself.

The little girl looked pitiful, so he simply asked, "Do you want to eat?"

If the child wants to eat it, he will go into McDonald's and buy another one.

But the little girl reacted for a moment and then shook her head. But she didn't leave, she just stared at him.

You must be hungry, right? I declined... but I felt bad for asking for free food.

that……

"Wait here for a moment."

Liu Ke didn't use the access point in his head. Instead, he pretended to pick up his phone and ordered a Big Mac meal using the app. Then he turned and walked into the store. After waiting for about a minute, he got his meal.

He went out and looked to the right, and sure enough, the little girl was still waiting for him in front of the bench.

Liu Ke walked over and handed the Big Mac meal directly to her.

"Eat it, it's my treat. I bought it all, so don't waste it."

Seeing that the little girl didn't respond, he sat down on the bench again and pushed the set meal towards the little girl again.

The little girl's eyes struggled for a while, perhaps because she was really hungry, she finally took the McDonald's paper bag, took out the hamburger inside, and started eating.

At first she just ate in small bites, her little eyes watching her surroundings warily.

Fortunately, there was a wall behind Uncle Mai's bench, otherwise, with the child's excessive vigilance, he would probably spin back and forth like a rattle.

Looking at this, he suddenly felt that... the days of wandering might be more dangerous than he imagined. Is it necessary to be so vigilant?

However, it seemed that she was enjoying the food. After a few bites, the little girl tasted the flavor and buried her head in the burger, devouring it with relish.

McDonald’s Big Mac is actually not as big as Burger King’s Whopper. It’s called a Big Mac, but it’s actually... quite small.

But for the little girl of eleven or twelve years old, it is indeed enough.

Liu Ke's physical condition had been steadily improving since he injected Compound No. 5. Conversely, his appetite had also increased, and he had already consumed three Big Macs and two Vegetarian Kings.

My stomach was already 80% full, but after watching the girl's eating broadcast in front of me for a while, my appetite was rekindled. I suddenly felt like there was still room for more.

Looking at the half-eaten hamburger, Liu Ke's mouth was full of saliva and he swallowed it in just a few bites.

He turned around and saw that the little girl seemed to be choking, so he quickly uncapped the Coke in the set meal and handed it to her. He also patted her on the back, but the little girl's clothes were a little dusty, which made Liu Ke cough.
