In the following days, Su Lun's life became fulfilling.
After successfully integrating the eight-armed spider spear, he needs a lot of time to practice multi-tasking, control the puppet, climb and move, and fight...
Moreover, in order not to waste the two super-powerful physical training potions he bought with a lot of money, he also needs to spend several hours every day on physical training.
Fortunately, the life schedule of gangsters is very relaxed. Except for the mandatory participation in the street patrol at 7 o'clock every night, other times can be arranged freely if there are no emergencies.
Recently, Su Lun also found that harvesting ordinary corpses could bring him less and less experience, so he simply didn't waste time in the casino in the first half of the night. He would only do so in the second half of the night when there was a death duel between professionals.
Go watch the finale scenes.
In this way, time flew by quickly, and the stable and fulfilling days passed by for more than a month.
........
On this day, Su Lun was tinkering with mechanical modifications in the basement.
This dilapidated basement has changed a lot from when he first moved in a month ago. During this time, Su Lun was like an ant moving, moving in a large number of mechanical equipment and parts one after another, and even a small
Steam machine tools.
All kinds of mechanical tools were hung on the surrounding walls, which he bought from various shops, as well as good inner-city goods obtained from the black market.
This place has been transformed into his own mechanical workshop.
At this moment, Su Lun was wearing oil-stained work clothes and goggles, with two attached "PT3 single-cylinder steam power arms" attached to his hands, and was tinkering with something.
The steam boiler provides super power to the robotic arm, allowing him to break the steel materials in his hand into the desired shape with his bare hands without using a machine tool.
He is making ammunition belts and ammunition boxes for his sidearm [Ao Oni].
This famous gun has a super high rate of fire. If it is only used as a pistol, its firepower advantage cannot be used at all.
But if it is a continuous fire, even with an extended magazine, it will be exhausted within a few seconds.
Therefore, he thought of the ammunition belts and external super-capacity ammunition boxes of heavy machine guns. When the time comes when fire suppression is really needed, he can hang the ammunition box on his body and connect it with the ammunition belt, and the pistol can immediately become
The churning heavy machine gun.
While his hands were still busy, the eight spider arms behind him were not idle either.
Because there is a working robotic arm on hand, it is not convenient to hold other things. If you are thirsty, a spider arm will bring you a tea cup on the table a few meters away and give you a sip of water.
The eight spider arms save him a lot of time and complete some simple but time-consuming tasks.
For example: press the bullet into the bullet chain.
There is no need to control it too precisely. Several spider arms cooperate with each other to easily pour the bullets in the box into the special depressor, and then press the handle, accompanied by "click" and "click".
With a rhythmic metallic crunching sound, the bullets will be loaded neatly on the bullet chain one by one.
Not long after, the last two ammunition boxes obtained from the black market were modified, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at his work, seemed satisfied, and muttered: "Finally done, ten ammunition boxes should be enough."
This ammunition box is not only suitable for Su Lun's [Green Ghost], but there is another thing in this room: a mechanical power armor.
Su Lun took the ammunition box and walked up to the mecha hung on the wall. He tried the card slot and found that it was just right.
This mecha was just a test product put together by Su Lun. It was very rough, but basically in shape.
Su Lun named this iron lump "Iron Man Generation".
There is nothing superfluous about it, not even a shell.
The old and mottled body frame is a rough modification of the "Hunter VIII with Mechanical Skeleton"; the core is a "PT9 four-cylinder steam boiler" found at the flea market, which can provide power for this iron lump; the arms
It's just a simple and crude two-handled six-wheeled musket, connected with a belt and a bulletproof plate. There are also some hydraulic transmission devices, high-pressure air valves, etc., which are all disassembled accessories from various old goods...
Although it doesn't have much technical content, this thing is an attempt by Su Lun.
He tried to use steel wires to control the mecha as a puppet.
But because the technology is far from enough, the machinery is too cumbersome, and even the problem of falling easily while running has not been solved.
The only use now is as a semi-fixed turret. Suellen remotely controls it to fire and make some simple displacements and aiming.
It can be regarded as a small step towards the vision of his mechanical puppet master.
.......
It was midnight now, and Su Lun originally had several hours to spend in the studio doing whatever he wanted.
After finishing his machine manufacturing task today, he wanted to practice making the "Rune Puppet".
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the communicator suddenly heard Kai's hurried flag waving: "Everyone, bring the guys, gather at the Speedy Elephant Tavern!"
Su Lun frowned when he heard this.
The communicator is a tool used by members of the Cross Society to gather people when they encounter very serious emergencies. On weekdays, just by making small noises and shouting a few times, 20 or 30 people can be gathered on Green Street, without the need for communication at all.
device.
He has been a member for so long, and he only used it once when the Cross Society headquarters was attacked on the first day, and now he actually heard it again?
Judging from Kai's tone, it seems that the matter is not a big deal.
"Could it be those guys from the Steam Party who are here to cause trouble?"
Su Lun had a guess. Conflicts often occurred during the transfer of territory between Green Street and the Steam Party. If there really was to be a big commotion, it would probably be those guys.
He didn't waste any time and changed out of his work clothes.
Because the combat equipment was always in the storage ring, there was nothing to pack. Su Lun left the basement, and then the engine drove all the way, arriving in front of the Elephant Tavern in less than two minutes.
.......
When Su Lun arrived, the two groups were already confronting each other on the street outside the tavern.
There were no ordinary drinkers on the street. The two gangs, numbering two to three hundred people, were facing each other at the entrance of the pub with long guns and short cannons. The number of people continued to increase.
Su Lun took a look and saw that the Cross Society was not only composed of dozens of people from Green Street, but also captains and gang members from other neighborhoods.
It looks like there's going to be a big show tonight.
The elimination rate of gang members at the bottom of the gang is very high, and Su Lun is now considered an old man on Green Street.
Because he has a close relationship with Kai, even though he has not been officially appointed, the gang also regards him as the "vice-captain". Especially the newcomers, when they see his motorcycle coming, they all wave and say hello.
A relatively familiar newcomer came over and greeted Su Lun: "Deputy team, you are here..."
Su Lun didn't see Kai. Seeing that tonight's battle was a bit exaggerated, he asked, "What happened?"
The man whispered: "The Steam Party people suddenly gathered people and came to Green Street, and the cadres were negotiating in the tavern..."
"negotiation?"
Su Lun frowned as he heard this.
He looked at the arrogant motorcycle gangs of the Steam Party not far away and realized that something was amiss.
Such a large-scale invasion, on normal days, would have resulted in a direct war.
Still sit down and negotiate?
But looking at the posture in front of him, he also knew that he would not be able to fight for the time being.
Since there are cadres negotiating, at least until there is no movement inside the tavern, no matter how loud and provocative the people outside are, they can't do anything.
...
Su Lun probably figured out the reason for the gathering, and had no intention of getting mixed up in the crowd. He walked to the corner of the road and found a place to squat near the alley.
In the event of a real fight, a place where people gather together will definitely be the focus of grenades.
After squatting for a while, he watched Kai walk out of the tavern.
Kai also saw Su Lun and motioned him to a remote corner, probably because he had something to say.
The two met in the corner of the tavern.
Su Lun had never seen such an ugly expression on Kai's face, so he asked, "What happened?"
Kai motioned for him to look inside the tavern.
Su Lun glanced through the window and saw that there were no drinkers in the tavern, only a group of strong men in black leather clothes and guns.
Two cadres came from the Cross Society, "Red Devil" Goron and "Smoking Man" Sambu.
Across the negotiating table, Su Lun, the scar-faced man from the Steam Party, also knew the second-level cadre "Mad Dog" Hog Vesnat. His talent was the animal form [C-003-Werewolf], and he had very strong combat power.
He is also a veteran strongman of the Steam Party.
At this time, Kai said: "There is a big situation in the inner city, we may be in trouble..."
Listening to this tone, Su Lun's face showed no emotion.
If something goes wrong, something will happen. Anyway, things in the inner city won't affect their low-level gang members' eating and sleeping...
Kai spoke concisely and added: "I just got the news that the top tycoon in the inner city, the Reyes family, has split into seven. The property on Green Street is now in the hands of Sanfang. Today Sanfang
The eldest son, Martin Reyes, is also here, he is upstairs."
"The Reyes family?"
When Su Lun heard this, he felt that the good things suddenly seemed to have something to do with him.
Isn’t this the family of rich woman Reina?
Mrs. Fino, the financial backer of their Cross Society, also has very close contacts with the Reyes family...
It's only been a month, what happened?
Is it possible that Reina failed to control the overall situation when she returned, and her uncles split up the family?
Kai continued: "I don't know the specific situation. But I heard that there was pressure from the top management of the Black Tower, and the major families in the inner city did not want to see the Reyes family becoming the dominant one, so they let the Reyes family
The family owner was forced to agree to split up the consortium."
"..."
After hearing this familiar routine, Su Lun's mind immediately clicked.
The "Reyes Consortium" has almost a monopoly on residential water and mining in Old Town, making it a complete oligarch.
But the fate of the "oligarchs" is usually doomed.
Either he can be powerful and control the political power.
If you can't make it through the sky, you will end up getting beaten in the end.
This was nothing new in the previous life. It was like the Russian oligarchs. They were so prosperous at their peak, but in the end they were also beaten to the point of losing their temper...
Old Town is a private lord system. In theory, everything in the city is the private property of the lord "Archduke Raphael". As long as there is the Black Tower, the highest authority over the inner city, no matter how big the "oligarch is"
"Everyone has to lie down.
But...
What does the split of the Reyes family have to do with Green Street?
Su Lun looked at the Steam Party as the other party in the negotiation and seemed to have guessed something.
At this time, Kai finally expressed his worries: "Most of the entertainment industry on Green Street belongs to the Reyes family. Now that the Reyes family has split up, most of the pubs and gambling stalls have fallen into the hands of the three families.
And those guys from the Steam Party didn’t know when they hooked up with Young Master Martin. Now they want our Cross Society to withdraw from Green Street and let the Steam Party take over..."
When Su Lun heard it, he understood immediately.
.......
Su Lun felt that 80% of such negotiations would collapse.
Sure enough, after a few words of conversation, the tavern suddenly started banging the table and making a quarrel.
The sound was so loud that it reached the street.
"Mad Dog" Hogg had a tough attitude and said aggressively: "Within three days, your Cross Society will withdraw from Green Street, otherwise..."
It is true that gangsters rely on their financial backers to make a living, but not entirely.
The territory gained by accepting fate is given up at any time, and their Cross Society is not that bad.
"impossible!"
"Smoking Man" Sambu interrupted the conversation by slamming the table.
He had a sullen face and spoke slowly, but he pronounced his words like nails: "Green Street has always been the territory of our Cross Society, Hogg, don't fucking come here with this nonsense. You Steam Party wants territory, and if you have the guts, make it clear.
The gun will do it!"
The sponsor of the Cross Society is Mrs. Finault. As long as she doesn't speak, it won't be easy for anyone to come.
As soon as these words came out, it meant that the geodetic negotiations collapsed.
As soon as the "Come on!" was heard, it stung the nerves of both parties. Everyone in the tavern raised their guns and aimed at each other.
Su Lun and Kai were not slow to react, and immediately drew their guns and aimed at the Steam Party members in the room.
This move of the gun was like a chain reaction, and the gang members on both sides outside the door became nervous instantly, and heard the "click" and "click" sounds of bullets being loaded in unison.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, like a dynamite barrel with a fuse that had been lit. If there was a slight disturbance, a fierce fire would immediately break out.
For a moment, the huge Elephant Tavern was silent.
No one dared to fire the first shot.
If they really start fighting now, it will definitely be the trigger for an all-out war between the two gangs!
.......
Negotiations between gangs are based on momentum, and flipping the table often happens, but the likelihood of a real fight on the negotiating table is low.
Originally, in this situation, according to the process, a third party would come out to mediate, allowing both parties to calm down and sit down to negotiate again...
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
At this time, a wine bottle suddenly fell from the sky and hit the negotiation table.
"Crash!" It was smashed into pieces, and everyone was covered in wine stains.
Everyone was stunned. This move did not take the two gangs seriously at all, and was a proper provocation.
Everyone looked towards the second floor of the tavern, but when they could see who was coming, they swallowed back their anger one by one.
A young man in a silver suit leaned on the fence, looked down at the crowd, and said with disdain: "Huh! A bunch of unscrupulous guys have given you some sweet treats, do they really take themselves seriously?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the Cross Society became very ugly.
This was naturally directed at them.
Su Lun didn't recognize the young man, but looking at his suit of luxurious fabrics, he guessed that he must be a big shot from the inner city.
Obviously, this is today's protagonist, the third eldest son of the Reyes family, Martin Reyes.
