Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 56: Liquid leather jacket
The "Black Tower Alchemy Academy Trial Group" from the inner city arrived one day earlier than scheduled, which did not surprise Sulendo.
Thinking that it was probably for the safety of the young masters and ladies, the instructors deliberately adjusted the time to avoid being ambushed.
But for Su Lun, it doesn’t matter if he goes one day early or one day late.
Anyway, his mission is to take this group of prince tour groups to visit the crypt, and then see if there is a chance to see the location of the forbidden scythe.
.....
At five o'clock in the morning, Su Lun was still squatting in the gambling stall when he received thousands of sudden messages, saying that the tour group would arrive in the Green neighborhood at seven o'clock.
But fortunately, the equipment, ammunition and potions were already prepared, so he was not caught off guard.
Half an hour in advance, Su Lun was waiting alone at the agreed place outside Tongzi Tower.
The big shots in the inner city don't seem to like to have too many contacts with people from the outer city. Even the cadres of the Cross Society, no one is qualified to pick up the car.
Qianjou specifically warned not to dress in a "gangster" style that reveals too much, for fear of scaring the little nobles in the inner city who have never seen a real gangster.
So Su Lun did not continue his dark punk style today, but changed into a standard hunter outfit, puncture-resistant high-high moccasin boots, tactical vest, metal knee pads and shoulder pads, and scuffs. Old leather cape. In addition to the gas mask, his face was also painted with oil paint and covered with a layer of black gauze. After wearing the alchemy night vision goggles, probably no one could recognize who he was.
Hung around his waist are two pistols with increased ammunition capacity. These are the muskets he recently modified based on his own shooting habits. There are also mechanical gloves, daggers, magazines, first aid kits...
.....
After waiting for half an hour, at seven o'clock sharp, a heavy armored military personnel carrier arrived outside Tongzi Tower.
This kind of military heavy truck cannot be seen in the outer city at all. It is like an alien spacecraft landing in a garbage dump. This movement inevitably attracts the aborigines of Tongzilou.
Sulun's cloak has the symbol of the Cross, indicating his identity.
This identity is also enough to intimidate him. He raised his hands to avoid them, and those poor people who were similar to aberrations in the eyes of the inner city people did not disturb these little nobles out of curiosity.
This is also the biggest role of his "local snake".
Su Lun walked over, said hello to the leading instructor, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. August, I am Su Lun. Miss Philo recommended me to be your guide for this trial. ."
August is a middle-aged man with a brown beard and a very calm demeanor. He is also a second-level professional and the leader of this trial.
The instructor seemed very nurturing. Even though he knew the identity of Su Lun's gangster, he did not show any contempt. He showed full respect and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Su Lun, I will trouble you for the students' trial this time." ”
Su Lun responded with the same courtesy, "This is my honor."
The students got out of the car one after another, looking around like curious babies who saw everything new.
Su Lun didn’t speak again and watched them get off the car quietly.
There were twenty-three people participating in this trial. In addition to August, the mentor of this second-level professional, there were also two assistants. There is a man and a woman. The man's name is Daniel. His arms and legs have mechanical exoskeletons that look very sophisticated in workmanship and technology. The woman's name is Rosa. She wears a **** low-cut teacher skirt and looks like a magician.
The students are all young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and all of them are fully armed.
Although their attires are different, they all wear a tight-fitting black "liquid suit" underneath.
“Is it...school uniform?”
This is the first time Su Lun has seen this kind of combat uniform that looks like a sharkskin swimsuit. Not only did it take into account the aesthetics of the design, but when he looked at the mysterious runes and the technological blue fluorescent energy mark that occasionally showed up in the light, he knew that the clothes were not only clothes, but also alchemy products, and they must be extremely functional. good.
Male students look heroic in this leather jacket, and the black color shows their composure.
And those female students who are full of youthful atmosphere are wearing these black liquid leather clothes and pants, which fully show off their tall figures. Their well-developed breasts, perky buttocks, slender and well-proportioned thighs, and close-fitting leather jackets outline the most perfect and seductive lines. Their whole bodies exude a pure and beautiful aura.
Su Lun glanced at it and then narrowed his eyes.
It is no wonder that Mrs. Philo was so harsh when choosing guides. These young female students are indeed very attractive in front of the gangsters.
.....
The students all got off the bus. No one talked to Su Lun, the tool man, and he had no intention of making any sense of presence.
Before entering the crypt, the instructor August gave a routine lecture to the students, saying: "Today is your graduation trial. You will complete the task in groups of five...the two assistants will conduct the test according to what you are doing." The performance during the exercise will be comprehensively scored. This is a practical trial. The teachers will not help, and I will not accompany you. Everything depends on the knowledge you have learned to solve the difficulties you encounter... Please be sure to Take it seriously..."
Su Lun was listening to the warnings, which were all quite boring, and the students all seemed a little bored.
August said that he would not accompany him, but Su Lun knew that this second-level professional would always protect him in secret, and he would only take action when he encountered an unstoppable danger.
But when the students heard that the teacher would not follow, instead of being worried, all the students showed excitement on their faces.
"Hunting" is a journey of life and death for people in the outer city; but for these noble students in the inner city who have never tried it, it has a fatal attraction like a poppy. The adventurous journey of exploring unknown areas gave this group of students who had never traveled alone on an adventure a kind of feverish expectation.
"Wow...Master, aren't you going? Haha, don't worry, we will definitely complete this trial perfectly!"
“Yes, we are all formal professionals now, and we will never embarrass the college.”
“…”
Su Lun looked coldly at these energetic students throughout the whole process, hoping that they would still be so happy after looking at the disgusting deformed monsters in the cave.
However, these guys do have some pride.
Su Lun and the others were chased by aberrant monsters when they went to the cave, because there were only two professionals at that time, him and Kai. As for the trial group in front of us, everyone is a professional, and regardless of equipment, equipment, occupations, or logistical supplies, these people have a hundredfold advantage.
That's why Kai said this mission was easy.
Being able to get a bonus of 100,000 yuan and receive contributions from the gang is indeed a "free gift".
.....
After the instructor’s speech, the students began to move excitedly into groups. Groups of five would conduct trials, and the team performance and individual performance would eventually be assessed.
Hunting actually has a standard five-person professional combination. The three professions of human shield + output + doctor are the three must-haves. It is good to pair them with two other complementary professions, such as assassins who are responsible for observing the environment, or field control. Warlock, Demoman and so on...
The "five-person team" can ensure the best professional combination of the team and bring out the strongest combat power in battle. But obviously, this group of students had no idea of matching, and one by one they began to invite their friends, or they were so confident that they wanted to take girls to try them out.
The teachers didn’t say anything. This trial was made by the students themselves, which also tested their organizational skills.
"Miss Lena, can I invite you to form a team together? I just received the Medal of Honor of the 'Academy's First Gunner', and I will definitely get the best result in this trial..."
"Hey, Jack, stop bragging. My overall score in alchemy is the first in the entire department, and I will definitely get the first place in this trial!"
“…”
Male students are like aggressive bulls, without any humility. They also regarded this trial as a competition and a way to show off their skills in front of the opposite sex.
Soon, the twenty people were divided into four teams.
Assistant Daniel said to Su Lun: "Mr. Guide, please help take us to the cave."
Su Lun nodded. There was indeed a gap in the quality of young teaching assistants and tutors. Although this guy's tone sounded polite, he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
Su Lun doesn’t mind either. The people in the inner city already have the arrogance of the imperial city.
He led a group of trial nobles through the ruins and walked all the way to the entrance of the Tongzi Tower into the catacombs.
This group of young men and ladies looked very excited, holding guns in their hands and looking around. As they walked on the ruins, they looked eager to try.
Because the entrance to the cave is close to the sewer, the rancid smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and many pampered students began to complain.
“Oh, the air in the outer city is so bad...I can smell the stench through the gas mask.”
"Wow... look, are those aberrant monsters hiding in those broken buildings? Should we shoot them?"
“…”
With this opening, Su Lun knew why Sister Qiantiao said before that the noble students in the inner city were not easy to serve.
These guys have never been to the outer city at all, and they lack a lot of basic knowledge.
At this time, the female teaching assistant Rosa explained: "Those are not deformed monsters, they are just malnourished wanderers."
This statement made the students lose much interest.
......
Soon, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the cave of Tongzi Tower.
Everyone put on their night vision goggles and walked in.
The buildings here still have traces of the last fierce battle between Suellen and the Steam Party, and there are bullet marks everywhere on the walls.
Although the corpse has been devoured by the monsters in the sewer, there are still many horrific traces left on the ground, including trailing blood and marks of rotting corpses...
Entering the dark room from outside, the aura of terror instantly swept through the entire trial team.
The students nervously held the muskets in their hands and looked around, fearing that monsters would suddenly jump out of the darkness.
Mentor August did not continue walking. He stood at the exit of the cave and said: "The trial will begin below. Everyone's task is to kill at least ten aberrant monsters, and the team will obtain at least five cursed materials. , and also completed the collection of samples to investigate the mutation of sewer monsters..."
“Yes, mentor.”
The students responded one after another.
August gave the students the illusion of staying at the entrance of the cave and said to Su Lun: "Mr. Su Lun, I will trouble you next."
Suellen nodded.
Then he, the guide, took the lead down to the entrance of the cave.
When he returned to his old place, he looked as usual.
He is already very familiar with this place and even remembers which bullet holes he made.
But the students all became nervous.
After entering the cave, the two teaching assistants also became spectators, and the students could only rely on themselves.
Among the four teams, the person selected as the captain takes care of his own team members. This is the first time for all students to have a real combat trial. They have no experience and can only encourage each other according to the hunting knowledge in the textbook: "Lower the muzzle of the gun, don't put your finger on the trigger, and pay attention to your feet and head..."
Su Lun said he was a guide, but in fact, after leading them into the cave, everything was basically fine.
Exploring the unknown and choosing a path are also one of the purposes of these students' trials.
Four teams of five people walked in front, with two assistant coaches behind. Su Lun naturally knew that he was not the same person as them, so he acted as a transparent person on the sidelines.
In the dark cave, this is a dark place where light cannot reach it.
Small sounds coming from the darkness from time to time, pairs of red eyes, and black shadows passing by at the end of the field of vision from time to time, made the students scream in terror from time to time...
Su Lun seemed very laid-back. At least he was familiar with the environment on this level of the subway station.
There is no danger here.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, a fat student walked over quietly.
“Hey, Brother Guide, what do you call me?”
Su Lun actually noticed this fat man early on, because everyone in the liquid leather clothes looked very physical. Only this guy is dressed like a Michelin star. It's hard not to pay attention to him.
It seems that no matter what the school, there is always such a fat guy in every class.
This guy came over in a familiar manner and whispered to Suellen: "My name is Charlie Leonard, and Sunbird Mechanical Equipment Company is owned by my family."
Su Lun's straightforward self-introduction made Su Lun a little confused as to what he was going to do, but he politely replied: "Just call me Su Lun."
Although he didn't know anyone, he had heard of "Sunbird Machinery", one of the largest military machinery and equipment manufacturers in the inner city.
Su Lun had heard before coming that this trial team was not an ordinary student class, but the top noble class in the "Black Tower Alchemy Academy".
Each of the students in front of me came from a very different family background. They were either rich princesses or young masters from big families.
This random fat man came, he was the fat son of a billionaire family.
At this time, the little fat man named Charlie revealed his purpose, and whispered to Su Lun: "I asked someone to inquire, and they said that you are a very powerful gunman in the 'Iron Cross'. So. , I think brother, you can take care of our team when necessary. After all, you should also be able to see that my team is full of non-combatants..."
Then while this guy was talking, he secretly put a package of things into Su Lun's hand.
