Chapter 26 Hollow Crisis
A new day rises quietly, the sun shines through the bright glass into the house, and the warm atmosphere is soothing.
Last night was the best sleep Xu Jiang had in the three months since he came to this other world.
Not only was the accommodation in Group 17 more comfortable than his poverty-stricken room, but also because of the battle last night, he was really exhausted.
Fortunately, the harvest this time was also very rich.
Look at the orange-level mecha bought at a high price last night, shining with majestic luster in the sun, and the dozen books held in those iron arms, it's really...
Wait! Why are there books?
Xu Jiang jumped up with excitement. He was so sleepy just now that he was now awake. He rushed to the mecha and looked at the books.
He remembered clearly that the mecha he bought yesterday did not come with any instruction manual. Now it suddenly appeared. Could it be that the old man deliberately left it to him as a legacy?
I excitedly picked up a book and looked at the cover: "Sister-in-law's Secret - Part 1".
Xu Jiang:……
Well, with that old man's physique, he probably isn't suitable for reading these books. The covers alone are a bit cool, let alone the contents.
But where did these books come from?
After three seconds of silence, Xu Jiang thought of a possibility.
"Thousands of opportunities!"
"Yes." Qianji climbed in through the window.
"Where were you just now?"
"Back to General, I received new equipment last night, so I started special training overnight, with great results." Qianji clicked on the tactical glasses around his neck.
It can be seen that Qianji is very satisfied with the night vision function, because it allows her to maintain sufficient training at night.
It is impossible to rest. From the moment he became a machine, Qianji never thought about resting.
Xu Jiang patted the twenty-some monster fighting pictures in his hand and asked, "Qianji, do you know these picture books?"
"I know, these are the trophies I gained during training."
"Loot? Where did it come from?"
"A man named Baozi is under the bed."
In this way, Qianji told in a serious manner how she went about training alone after Xu Jiang fell asleep last night.
After actual combat with the Black Tiger Gang, Qianji fully understood his own shortcomings and trained harder.
Since he couldn't find a training ground for [Quick Draw], Qianji decided to train [Shadow Escape] and [Reconnaissance Sensing].
As for the fastest way to upgrade these two skills, it is of course to quietly sneak into the target area and take away a piece of loot.
Ying Xiaoxiao was too scary, and the Shatuo was too alert. Xiao Zhen didn't want to bully her, so the only thing left was Baozi.
"So, these pornographic books belong to Baozi?"
"Yes, he hid it under the bed. It was sealed with three locks. It is the most tightly hidden thing. I take one copy every time as a reward."
"...You use the word 'shun' really well."
To say that Qianji is also short-sighted, how can you just accuse Baozi of being ‘submissive’?
I ran more than 20 times in one night. Poor Baozi closed and opened his eyes, and all the treasures he had collected for many years were gone.
"General, did my behavior cause trouble to you? Do you need me to pay it back?"
"No need, just keep these. I've also become somewhat interested in literature recently."
For the sake of Baozi's physical and mental health, Xu Jiang decided to endure everything silently.
I looked at the time, it was already 10 o'clock, I went out to eat something and do some activities.
…
In addition to the bedroom, I found that in the living room, Uncle Lei had been waiting for a long time.
Today, I was wearing a very formal suit. I looked like a dog in a suit. When we met, I asked: "Xu Jiang! You are up. Are you still used to living here last night?"
"It's not bad, killing people, setting fires, robbing, jumping off buildings, very fulfilling."
Uncle Lei didn't take Xu Jiang's truth seriously and thought it was a joke. How could such a harmonious group of seventeen do those things?
"Come, let's have breakfast together. Once you're full, my master will give you special training today."
Already calling yourself a teacher? I haven’t agreed yet!
Just when Xu Jiang was about to refute, Uncle Lei had already handed over a bag.
"These are the materials I found for you, 30 pieces of [Magic Energy Alloy]."
When Xu Jiang heard this, he changed his mind on the spot: "Really found it? Master is so awesome!"
"Of course, if you become my disciple, you will definitely have a bright future!"
In order to recruit a disciple, Uncle Lei spent a lot of money.
This [Magic Energy Alloy] is an important forging material and is very scarce. The uncle also mobilized many connections to get it together.
Without saying a word, Xu Jiang excitedly returned to the room with the last [Magic Energy Alloy] and handed it to Qianji.
"General, Qianji application can start to advance now."
"allow!"
[Congratulations, the advancement has begun, estimated completion time: half an hour.]
As the beep ended, Qianji also returned to the mecha box state. The orange-level power mecha on the side, as well as a lot of materials, all turned into flowing water and merged into Qianji's body.
Finally, the materials have been collected. There are so many good things that will definitely be very powerful after the upgrade is completed.
Satisfied, Xu Jiang returned to Uncle Lei again, dragging the mecha box with him.
"Okay, seeing as how hard you have worked for me, I will accept you as my master. By the way, I don't know your full name yet."
"Accept me as your disciple? Why does it sound weird? My full name is... Don't worry, I will tell you later. You come with me first and I will take you to meet your old friends."
Giving gifts to buy apprentices? That’s a bad idea.
Uncle Lei thought hard last night and devised a perfect plan for recruiting disciples.
The first is to receive a favor and make Xu Jiang feel grateful.
Next, Xu Jiang was taken to visit the Black and White Taoists, and through the mouths of various big shots, Xu Jiang was revealed little by little about his powerful reputation.
Only in this way can Xu Jiang truly admire him.
With a plan in mind, Uncle Lei couldn't wait and set off with Xu Jiang.
It was still the same little broken car, bumping all the way to the first stop: Blackwater District.
The streets are still in chaos, and several gangs have been fighting fiercely since last night until dawn.
Uncle Lei asked proudly: "How's it going? You've never been to the Blackwater District, right? This is..."
"It's the most chaotic place in Yong'an City, a paradise for criminals, and there's a black market that only opens at night."
Xu Jiang suddenly interrupted, making the experience that Uncle Lei was about to show off get stuck in his throat.
"Have you ever been to the black market?"
"Of course, how fresh is it? You've never been here before?"
Xu Jiang's rhetorical question made Uncle Lei twitch his face and replied loudly: "Of course I have been here. With my rich experience, I am very familiar with the streets and alleys of Yong'an City."
"Really? So you come here often?"
"Of course, I come here often..." Uncle Lei's words got stuck in his throat again.
Because he found that Xu Jiang's eyes had drifted to places where they shouldn't have drifted.
I saw three women in crisp clothes at the corner of the street. As soon as they saw them arriving, they quickly stood up to say hello, twisted their waists, hooked their fingers, and winked at them crazily.
Aren't these the cool girls who attacked Baozi last night? It's still broad daylight and the business has started?
"What are you thinking! As professionals, how can we miss this kind of place!" Uncle Lei was furious.
Xu Jiang showed disbelief in his eyes: "Are you sure? You have never received Long's service?"
"Nonsense, am I that kind of person? Women will only interrupt the speed at which I draw my gun!"
Uncle Lei was upright and awe-inspiring, waving his sleeves to express that he was an outsider and had no worldly desires.
Unfortunately, this noble demeanor only lasted for 1 second.
I saw a woman in her 50s walking out from behind the three cool women. The makeup on her face was as thick as starch. As soon as she saw Uncle Lei, she immediately walked over enthusiastically.
He skillfully put his hands on the uncle's shoulders and said in a tired voice:
"Ouch! Isn't this brother Lei Luo? You haven't been here for a long time. Are you bringing a friend with you today? Then I will charge double the price."
Together! Xu Jiang took two steps back in shock.
Bowed to Uncle Lei and said: "It turns out that the teacher is called Lei Luo! It's a pity that I learned your full name in this way."
Uncle Lei:......
What a mistake! What a mistake!
Unexpectedly, his great reputation would be ruined in this place.
Just when Lei Luo was heartbroken and wanted to find a way to restore his image, a change happened.
Rumble~
The ground suddenly shook, and cracks appeared quickly around the feet.
At the same time, a siren suddenly sounded over Yong'an City.
[Attention! Attention all citizens of Yong'an City! There is a cave disaster near Seventh Street in Heishui District. Nearby residents are asked to flee as soon as possible. 】
[Repeat: A hole appears on Seventh Street in Heishui District, nearby residents should flee as soon as possible.]
Seventh Street, Blackwater District? Isn't this where they are? What is this hole?
Before Xu Jiang could figure it out, Uncle Lei's exclamation came to his ears: "Quick, Xu Jiang, grab my hand!"
Uncle Lei wanted to grab Xu Jiang's hand, but unfortunately he was blocked by the panicked woman beside him and couldn't reach out.
The next second, a sudden change occurred, the ground they were standing on suddenly sank, and a huge black hole appeared below.
Xu Jiang fell into the black hole
