Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

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.

Chapter 164 Villagers

Ever since that night in the Northeast, when Liu Ke saw the little thing called [Devour Sac], he felt that the world of extraordinary people was not just about the fighting and killing in the martial arts world, but also had some commendable methods.

Unlike the Golden Light Curse and Thunder Method, which both nourish the body and mind, empower offense and attack, and focus on strengthening one's own means, weapon refining and divine machine can play a greater role.

Ma Xianhong's [Divine Machine Hundred Refinements] has a miraculous effect. Perhaps it sounds a bit old-fashioned to say this, but if his method can be used in the "right way", it will create value that can be called "great".

Even if we imagine the worst case scenario, even if Village Chief Ma has no other "creative inventions" besides the [Devourer Capsule], the value created by relying solely on the [Divine Machine Hundred Refinements] to create space props such as the [Devourer Capsule] is already huge enough.

After all, it is a "space magic weapon", a "space magic weapon" that requires few consumables and can be mass-produced.

Especially when this Devouring Sac is paired with the [Communication Exchange Device] from the Pokémon world that Liu had drawn a while ago, which can perform [teleportation] over long distances, the effect of the combination of these two is simply fantastic.

Let's not talk about the most simple and obvious logistics and transmission functions, let's talk about military deterrence.

To give you the most outrageous joke from hell, if Liu Ke and Ma Xianhong join hands, they could destroy the world within a few days.

The first step is to load the appropriate type of [nuclear bomb] into...the large [devouring sac].

The second step is to make about ten sets of [communication exchange devices] and distribute them to all parts of the world.

The third step is to send the [phagosome] to all parts of the world through the [communication exchange device].

The fourth step is to open the [devouring sac] and directly detonate the nuclear bomb.

Although this joke is a bit bad, it can also very intuitively show the sparks that can be created when these two technological products are combined.

Of course, the reason why Liu Ke wanted to recruit Ma Xianhong was not only because of the refining equipment such as the Devouring Sac, but also because Ma Xianhong was a smart person. In Liu Ke's estimation, he was smart enough to understand Liu Ke's "technology" to some extent.

And if such people join, then in Liu Ke's opinion, the process of "liberating the earth" will eventually be accelerated.

And there is a reason why he wants to speed up this process.

He recently had a very bad premonition. Since the day he drew the [Giant Structure Atlas] of the Star World, he always felt that something was wrong.

It was as if the world was really going to be invaded by aliens, and an indescribable sense of crisis swept over him.

Therefore, rather than a "technological" assistant, he is looking for a helper who can work with him to speed up the process and prevent crises.

He is not the kind of person who is too rigid. If pure technology cannot help the country suppress and unify the entire world in a short period of time.

Then we can also add some foreign things, after all, the "technology" of "aliens" is also a technology.

Although skills like refining weapons and divine machines are somewhat unrelated to his technological means, but...

Just like how 'durian' and 'pizza' were initially unrelated, yet the combined durian pizza turned out to be surprisingly effective. Similarly, combining Ma Xianhong's methods with Liu Ke's might spark new ideas.

What's more, smart people can inspire each other. By analogy, whether Liu Ke learns Ma Xianhong's methods or Ma Xianhong learns from him, the results are good.

As for whether Ma Xianhong himself is willing?

Although he didn't know why, Liu Ke always felt that the other party was chasing something.

It is a good thing to have pursuits. In his opinion, Lao Ma is not a pervert. As long as he helps him solve his "pursuit", it will not be difficult to recruit him into his team.

------

When Liu Ke arrived at the Biyou Village canteen, he found that the environment there was quite acceptable.

Although it is not as "clean and hygienic" as the big hotels in the city, it is still well organized. The villagers can see the work in the kitchen and feel at ease.

The only special thing was that the chef was a female, a university student, but her knife skills were very skillful. She cut the potato and cucumber shreds as thin as dragon whiskers, and the taste was excellent just by looking at them.

Of course, knife skills are not the whole of cooking. Other dishes made by the chef that do not require knife skills are relatively average and can only be regarded as ordinary big pot meals.

Generally speaking, there are several hot dishes such as shredded potatoes with vinegar, cucumber and eggs, stir-fried stewed meat, roast pork, stir-fried cabbage, some ordinary pickles, and some clear porridge. As a breakfast purchased for free, it is really quite good.

Licking his lips, Liu Ke lined up properly, took an iron plate, poured a bowl of porridge, took two large solid steamed buns, and then took some hot dishes and a large number of pickles, and prepared to sit down.

The dwarf Liu Wukui behind him saw him like this and couldn't help but complain: "Do you really like pickles that much?"

Liu Ke felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm used to it. The population in the north is heavy. I'm sorry."

Liu Wukui curled his lips, then said in amazement, "I'm from Sichuan and Chongqing, and my taste isn't as strong as yours. Of course, I don't mean to look down on you. A few bites of pickled vegetables don't cost much. I'm just curious."

Hearing this, Liu Ke shrugged and replied, "It's innate, there's nothing I can do about it."

After the two men finished their meal, they sat down directly on a stone table.

……

After settling down, Liu Wukui ate a few bites of his steamed bun, then seemed to remember something and said to Liu Ke, "Today, I will be your tour guide. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

"Also, the leader also said that if you have an answer in mind, you can come to him anytime."

She also had a good appetite. After she finished speaking, she gulped down another bowl of white porridge in a few mouthfuls and ate a big steamed bun with some chili sauce.

After hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded, and then started to compete with a salted duck egg. Although he was cautious, he was not aware that the duck egg oil had spilled onto his hands.

After wiping his hands, he smelled the aroma of the oil on his hands and his mouth began to water. He ate a duck egg yolk on its own, and then swallowed the steamed bun with salted duck egg white and various pickles.

After more than ten minutes, the meal was finished, and Liu Ke began to stroll around the village seriously.

……

Perhaps because his identity as a "VIP" had been announced to the entire village, Liu Ke's wanton observation behavior was not stopped. Instead, villagers often came to watch him on purpose.

In Liu Ke's eyes, this village was special enough. And in the eyes of the villagers, Liu Ke, a distinguished guest who didn't look like a "master", was even more rare than a monkey.

After observing for a whole morning, Liu Ke found that this village was indeed quite interesting. There were many villagers who claimed that they wanted to transform and were waiting to be transformed into aliens.

There was no new "progress" in the magical machine. Village Chief Ma's "Little Fly" and "Ruhua" were seen integrated into the daily operations of the village, which was not too surprising.

The only person who attracted Liu Ke was a square-faced man with white hair.

Of course, this "attraction" is not the attraction of 0 and 1, but the guy can refine weapons and is Liu Ke's key observation person.

"This is... what your priest taught you?"

When Liu Ke asked this question, the man named Qiu Rang was making Ruhua with common tools such as a wooden hammer and a screwdriver, just like an ordinary carpenter.

Next to him sat a young man rummaging through stones in his hands. If one did not look carefully, one could easily mistake these two people for the idle older youths in the village.

The only special thing is that Qiu Rang wears a unique pair of glasses on his face, which seems to increase his "eyesight" and make it easier to do delicate work.

Hearing Liu Ke's question, Qiu Rang smiled crookedly for some reason, and then said, "Of course, the leader will teach this skill to anyone who has a talent for refining weapons."

"But...it's still too little after all."

As he spoke, the Ruhua he had created was refined in an instant.

After seeking the other party's eye contact, Liu Ke stretched out his hand and placed it on the other party's Ruhua, and then he discovered some problems.
