Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 102: Diagonal Street Mechanical Tribe
The Mechanical Clan is not a race, it is a general term for a type of people who have a fanatical worship and in-depth research on machines.
Pisco has a pair of mechanical arms because he lost both arms in a fight and had to replace them with mechanical ones. The mechanical people are keen on replacing their limbs with mechanical ones, and they are considered a very special group of people.
The common pursuit and belief make the mechanical tribe like to gather together to discuss mechanical transformation. Their professional knowledge and technology have become their means of survival.
After all, when you are in the world, you are bound to get hurt. If you lose an arm or a leg, you can find a skilled mechanical tribe to replace it, and you will be able to continue to wander around alive and well soon.
The mechanical tribe settlement in Raging Waves City is located in the Cape area.
Driving into Diagonal Street, what you see is a completely different scene. This is a neighborhood filled with steam and steel, and you can hear the sounds of various lathes hitting and rubbing, and you can see white steam spewing out from somewhere at any time.
Some shops were smelting steel on the street, with iron sparks flying towards the middle of the road; some shops had huge machines parked inside, with several people standing on scaffolding, installing parts for the unknown machines; some shops displayed all kinds of mechanical items, parts, and a full range of tools...
Most of the people here have undergone mechanical transformation to some extent. Some things that are difficult for ordinary people to move are as easy as drinking water in their hands.
Luke sat in the car, looking at the situation on Diagon Street, with Kylena introducing it to him.
"Diagonal Street consists of two X-shaped intersecting streets. The permanent population is about 3,000 people, most of whom are mechanical people. They mainly engage in body modification, mechanical assembly and maintenance, and a small number of them have independent research and development capabilities for mechanical products.
Of course there are other industries that are not permitted by imperial law.
Diagon Street is very famous both within the empire and internationally. Many people come here to undergo body modifications, and there are also many special orders.
The mighty Black Mamba Captain mentioned is the leader of the mechanical tribe on Diagon Street. He runs a mechanical modification shop and an underground boxing gym..."
Luke knew this information.
The mechanical tribe has a special influence in the Cape District with their technology, and everyone does not want to offend them for emergencies. Their body modification makes their combat effectiveness generally strong and they are very united, so the Cape District Security Bureau does not come here to provoke them.
Not to mention the former Secret Service.
As the car with the Imperial flag and the Secret Service flag on the front entered Diagon Street, it quickly attracted the attention of the mechanical people.
After driving less than a hundred meters, he was stopped by several people.
The leader was wearing a jacket, the front of his face had been mechanically modified to look like a metal mask, and his eyes were a pair of telescopic lenses.
He placed his metal hand on the front of the car and shouted to the people inside: "You are not welcome here, get back!"
Shelley got out of the passenger seat and said, "Iron Face, the person in the car is Inspector Meteorite from our Cape District Secret Service. Let's go find Wei Meng and let him know."
Ironface recognized Shelley, but still said in a disdainful tone: "Black Mamba, our mighty boss is watching a boxing match and has no time to see your inspector. Next time you come, remember to let us know in advance and see if our boss has time to see him."
"Our detective wants to see Wham now."
Hearing Shelley's threatening tone, Tiemian and his men did not back down.
"This is Diagonal Street. Anyone who wants to see our boss must make an appointment first."
As the situation became tense, Luke got out of the car.
"Black Mamba, since the mighty boss doesn't have time, let's not embarrass these people... I heard that the boxing matches here are very exciting. It should be okay for us to watch the matches as tourists."
“You can, but you can’t drive.”
Faced with Tiemian's harassment, Luke simply knocked on the roof of the car to let Pisco and Kylena get out.
Then he said, "Come on, take us to see the boxing match."
Tiemian thought he had embarrassed the detective of the Secret Service, and said proudly: "Come with us, and we will show you what passion is like when steel collides."
Luke led his men and followed Ironface and several other mechanical men along the street. After entering an alley, they went through a small door and entered the underground boxing ring.
The shouts hit the eardrums, and countless spectators shouted at the ring from the sidelines and in the stands.
The ring was surrounded by a circle of iron nets, and in the middle were two men whose bodies had been mechanically modified, punching each other with iron fists. The sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the ring, causing the audience to shout excitedly.
Tiemian and his men cleared a path through the crowd, allowing Luke and his men to reach the ring smoothly.
"Inspector, the body of steel has a natural advantage over the body of flesh and blood. Mechanical technology has created our great mechanical race. Watching their battle, you should be able to feel the powerful combat power we possess.
Are you willing to take a chance? The next match is between the mechanical man modified by our boss Wei Meng himself and the mechanical man from the sandpaper modification shop. Our boss has a high chance of winning. "
In addition to entertainment and gambling, this boxing ring is also a comprehensive test of the skills of many mechanical modification shops on Diagon Street. Winning in this ring will greatly increase the reputation and fees of the shop.
"Okay! A little bet for fun..." Luke looked at the two people fighting on the ring and said casually, "I'll bet 10 million Reichsmarks!"
"One thousand... ten thousand? Did I hear correctly?"
Tiemian was shocked by Luke's bet. Is this a small bet?
"Be more confident, you heard me right! But I have a request... I want to fight you. If you beat me, you can take the 10 million."
Luke's request was beyond everyone's expectations. Shelley even whispered to dissuade him: "Inspector, Ironface is very powerful. If you want to teach him a lesson, let me do it."
"No, he doesn't dare to fight you ." Luke continued to say to Tiemian: "Think about it carefully. If you beat me, 10 million Reichsmarks will be yours. If you lose, you don't need to pay.
Do you want to try your luck? "
Ten million Reichsmarks struck Ironface's heart hard.
He didn't know the strength of this Meteorite Inspector, but judging from the performance of Black Mamba and the others, Meteorite's strength did not seem to be outstanding.
If you win, you will have 10 million Reichsmarks.
Even if I lose, it seems like there is nothing to lose!
"You can't use guns." The excitement of becoming rich overnight made Tiemian's breathing a little rapid.
Luke took out the pistol and handed it to Kaileena.
"Anything else?"
"No more. The next game... I'll fight you! I'll arrange it now. Don't regret it."
"Hehe, no regrets."
Tiemian immediately went to find Weimeng and reported that the Secret Intelligence Bureau's Meteorite Detective was going to the ring.
The four people from the Secret Service, except Luke, all showed worried expressions.
