Chapter 79 Senior Mechanic
In the "Glorious City", the purchasing power of contribution points is much higher than money.
Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion stipulates that some truly top-level materials, potions, and other resources must be traded using contribution points.
Genetic power cultivation techniques such as the "Breathing Method" may be hidden heirlooms elsewhere, but in this wasteland hunter city, they are top-level tradable resources.
High-level extraordinary people who possess high-quality skills will sell their skills in exchange for contribution points, and then exchange them for more cultivation resources, so that their strength will rise with it, forming a virtuous cycle. In this hunting city, strength is always the biggest reliance for survival. Here, only by becoming stronger can you have the opportunity to obtain more resources!
…
In the third district, there is a "Kyukshin Martial Arts Hall" with flying eaves and pointed tiles. It is hidden among the dark Gothic buildings in the city and seems somewhat out of place.
To be able to open a martial arts school covering thousands of square meters in this city where every inch of land is valuable, one must not only have incredible financial resources, but also extremely high status.
The director is Capone Gonzalez, a martial arts master who was once famous in the Theed Empire. It is said that he came to this glorious city in order to break through the ultimate martial arts.
And he mastered a unique breathing method called "Breathing of Thunder", which is a top-level practice method in the "Qigong Master" sequence.
Ryan took the token given by Bazel and met the gym owner Capone in the reception room of the gym.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face, who looks a bit like Master Roshi.
[Qigong Master] is different from other supernatural professions. The older you are, the stronger your fighting spirit is. The old man in front of me looks very energetic. Except for his gray hair, he doesn't look old at all.
Capone was wearing a martial arts uniform with his chest bare, revealing his lean but not thin muscles.
He asked Ryan, "Who are you to that guy Bazel?"
Ryan: "I have been taught by Senior Bazel, so I am considered a half-disciple."
Capone: "I heard that Bazel was surrounded by the Omar army and died by the Storm Lake?"
Ryan: “I… don’t know.”
Capone: "What a pity... I was thinking that I would have made some breakthroughs in my martial arts and would have wanted to fight that guy a few more times."
Ryan looked slightly pleased when he heard this. No wonder Basel introduced him here.
Judging from the tone, it seems that this Qigong master in front of him was once able to compete with legendary figures like Basel and win against him.
After a brief meeting and exchange, the martial arts master lost much interest in Ryan.
Originally, he thought he could get news that his old rival Basel was still alive.
Unfortunately, no.
…
Finally, Ryan used 20,000 contribution points and signed a magic contract not to disclose the skills, and he successfully obtained the gold-quality "Breath of Thunder". Legend has it that it originated from a fragmentary copy of a high-level skill handed down from an ancient civilization.
His breathing was like the roar of a tiger, his Qi was endless and powerful like thunder. This was much better than his previous book "Breathing Method of Holy Knight", and the efficiency of meditation to accumulate fighting spirit increased several times.
And because of the token, he also got the "Experiences of Cultivation" written by Grandmaster Capone himself.
This is the most important reason why Basel asked him to visit the owner in person.
Kung Fu + experience, this is a complete method of cultivation.
What ordinary people can buy are only dry and useless skills.
Giving you just a set of exercises is like giving you an unannotated classical Chinese text. How much you can understand depends entirely on your own understanding and exploration, and you may even go astray.
Having this "master's experience" is equivalent to having a profound expert giving detailed annotations, which will enable you to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
You don’t have to take all the detours you’ve experienced before. Just follow the steps and practice.
As for the fighter's martial arts, the grandmaster said that there are special "seniors" in the gym who teach them, and you just need to pay contribution points to learn.
You can learn everything from entry-level martial arts to the legendary eight secrets of a fighter, and each class gives you 1-1000 contribution points.
As long as you have money, martial arts skills are not a problem.
In the fighter sequence, skills and martial arts are just stepping stones, and acquired hard work is the most important process of becoming stronger.
…
"If one set of skills is sold, it will earn 20,000 contributions... If one hundred people buy it, it will be 2 million? This money comes really fast..."
After leaving the gym, Ryan couldn't help but sigh that no matter what industry you are in, standing at the top means huge benefits, especially in this City of Glory.
Any extraordinary person who wants to become a qigong master, if he has the conditions, will definitely want to buy the best practice method.
This means that there is no shortage of buyers for this "Kyukin Martial Arts Hall".
There is little prejudice against certain parties, and there are also "black goods" coming from various channels, which means that there are a large number of good things circulating in the high-end market. This is one of the biggest features of the City of Glory, which is known as the "Paradise for Wasteland Hunters".
There is never a shortage of fine items at the city's high-end auction houses.
In other human cities, advanced enchanted weapons, high-quality potions, advanced martial arts techniques... these high-end resources are scarce commodities monopolized by nobles and large chambers of commerce.
If extraordinary people want to buy it, they will definitely be exploited at every level.
In this city, as long as you have contribution points, you can buy good things at low prices.
Because the way to obtain contribution points by completing the City Lord's Mansion's hunting mission is much more cost-effective than exchanging them directly for money. Therefore, in this city, the huge amount of funds of large chambers of commerce has lost their advantage. The more they exchange directly, the more they lose.
The scope for exploitation of scavengers has been reduced to a minimum.
Because of this complete set of "contribution value rules", the City of Glory has attracted more and more free hunters, making this "hunters' paradise" more prosperous.
Ryan didn't think much about it, as he had to report to Irubek's laboratory this afternoon.
After all, it's my first day as an apprentice, and being late wouldn't be a good thing.
…
Once again, I came to the sewer laboratory on the bottom floor of the fifth city area.
Ryan pushed open the laboratory door with familiarity and walked in.
In the laboratory, besides the busy Dr. Irubek, there was also the little mechanic who I met .
Ryan remembered that his name seemed to be Carl.
"Grandpa Nieto, was there a fight in the lab yesterday? How come your equipment is damaged like this?"
"Hey... it's all that damn werewolf's fault! Little Carl, can it be fixed?"
"It's fine, just some minor issues with external damage."
"Oh, that's good. By the way, little Carl, how is your grandfather doing?"
"The effect of the [Golden Liquid] is getting weaker and weaker. He doesn't have much time left to stay awake."
"It must be that it has developed drug resistance. It seems that next time I can only increase the dosage or replace the medicine. Hey... [Liquid Gold] is already the top 'life potion' at the moment, and there are not many alternative medicines available..."
"I believe Grandpa will get better."
“…”
The two were chatting when Ryan entered the room.
The young mechanic was lying on the ground with his tools, repairing the instrument that was broken by Bazel yesterday. The welding light was hissing, illuminating the entire laboratory with a blue light.
Ryan opened his mouth and greeted the old spider man: "Teacher, I'm here."
"Um."
Irubek pursed his lips, as if the name was irritating to him, but he didn't say anything.
The young mechanic standing next to him seemed to have heard something incredible. He straightened up and stared at Ryan in surprise. He said casually, "Hey... aren't you the person from yesterday?"
Turning around, he blinked his eyes and asked Irubek curiously, "Grandpa Nieto, you actually accepted a new disciple?"
Obviously, the little boy knew about the "chrysanthemum-poking" oath, which was why he was so curious.
The old man's face turned red when he was asked, and he said unhappily: "I just found an apprentice to do odd jobs for the laboratory..."
Carl narrowed his eyes and smiled wickedly, full of curiosity.
He looked at Ryan. What was so special about this guy that Grandpa Neto made an exception and accepted him as his disciple?
…
Ryan didn't mind the old man's disdain and walked over with a smile.
He then realized that the mechanical equipment on the little boy named Carl looked very sophisticated. These high-tech precision instruments in this laboratory were all the old man's treasures. How could he let a little boy repair them?
Irubek seemed to see Ryan's surprise and introduced, "This is little Carl, the grandson of my old friend."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't underestimate Karl's young age, but if he goes to take the nuclear mechanic grade assessment, it won't be difficult for him to get the senior mechanic medal."
Senior mechanic?
So awesome?
When Ryan heard this, his eyes froze.
Senior mechanics are similar to senior doctors, and they are equivalent to the small group of people at the top of the pyramid in their respective fields.
Could it be that this little boy is also a jerk like me? How can he be so powerful at such a young age?
