Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 65: A great harvest of knowledge
One shot to the head.
Su Lun looked at the "grey mist" on Jack's body in front of him and swallowed it up casually.
"Eh..."
After all the memory fragments were digested in his mind, he let out a light sigh, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"Obtain "Jack Edward's" memory fragments*6"
"You get some information: 'Damn, if something happens to Lena, all the family's investment will be in vain...'"
"You have mastered a lot of 'alchemy knowledge'..."
"You have mastered some 'beginner, intermediate and advanced pharmacy knowledge'..."
"You have understood some 'intermediate occult knowledge'..."
"You have mastered [Old Dutch] proficiently..."
"You have gained some 'advanced firearms theoretical knowledge', firearms experience +365"
"Mental Power +0.11"
The memory fragments obtained from this corpse made Su Lun suddenly feel that there were many more things in his mind.
After a while, he came back to his senses from the hazy feeling, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Do the students of Black Tower Academy have such an exaggerated knowledge reserve..."
This is the first time Su Lun has gained so much "knowledge" from the same corpse.
There is very little useful knowledge about the corpses in the outer city arena, so it would be good to gain some practical experience. For those gladiators who live at the bottom, 90% of the memories in their minds are all kinds of useless information, including scenes of romance venues, casinos, taverns... and scenes of lingering with various women.
The stripped memory fragments have a small chance of showing experience and skills, but a high chance of showing these low-quality contents.
In this Jack's memory, it's exactly the opposite.
The alchemy knowledge he has studied hard in the academy for many years occupies a lot of memory space. If he peels it off at will, he can dig out "treasures".
After thinking about it, Su Lun also felt that he could understand.
As the top aristocratic academy in Old London City, the "Black Tower Alchemy Academy" has no pressure on the students to survive, and their only task is to cram all kinds of knowledge. The students have various top professionals as teachers and have access to the richest alchemy classics and ancient scrolls. Naturally, they are also the small group of people who have the best alchemy knowledge.
Having harvested Jack's soul fragments made Su Lun feel that he had saved at least several years of hard study.
Moreover, many of them are "advanced alchemy knowledge" that people from outside the city can't learn for money.
The "theoretical knowledge of firearms" alone made up for Su Lun's shortcomings at the theoretical level. Before this, he knew how to use many firearms skills, but did not understand their principles. It is not considered to have fully grasped the essence.
Now that he has made up for this theoretical knowledge, his firearms experience has also skyrocketed, reaching [Advanced Firearms Proficiency 487/2000] in an instant.
Su Lun is also very curious about what the legendary "Gunmaster" will be like when he is fully experienced.
Also, [Old Nieder] has also changed from "beginner" to "proficient", and mysticism, pharmacy... have also been improved. Although it doesn't seem to be of use for the time being, it is still a good harvest. The more knowledge, the better.
.......
Suellen collected the glowing "Inauguration Materials" and "Alchemy Plant Equipment" from Jack's corpse, both of which were silver-quality materials. He also took off the storage ring, the two rune guns on the guy's waist, the combat uniform, the advanced gas mask, the night vision goggles, and the protective gear.
These are all good things, but they also cannot see the light of day.
Just talking about the two rune guns with flame runes all over their bodies, Su Lun is obviously much better than the famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost] he got before. It is very smooth to use, regardless of aiming, stability, The recoil and sturdiness are much superior.
It looks very greedy, but Su Lun can't use these things, and can't even sell them on the black market for cash.
Once others find out that these things have entered the market, his killing of Jack will be exposed.
The "suspended death plan" will also fail.
......
He had not planned to give up his current identity as a member of the Cross Society before because he felt that things were not that bad.
Now that he knows the identity of "Rena", he knows that he must make a decision.
The eldest lady has quite a lot of background. She is the only daughter of the "Rayce Family", the top conglomerate in Old Town.
This chaebol family is well-known even to people from outside the city. The consortium operates two of the most famous companies, the "Old Rington Residential Drinking Water Supply Company" and the "Heide Mining Group".
One controls the water supply for residents, and the other controls the development and trading of most of Old Lingtown's minerals. The scale of its assets is unimaginable.
Someone wants to kill Reina, and it must be related to interests. After all, she is the first heir to the consortium.
Su Lun is used to this kind of plot of **** wealthy families competing for position, whether in novels or in reality.
He wasn't interested in finding out either.
But just because he was involved in this inexplicable conspiracy, Su Lun's current situation has become very bad.
Those people chose to ambush during the trial, and naturally thought of all the factors. They first trapped and killed the mentor, and then released this aberrant monster that was relentless in hunting...
In everyone’s eyes, that Reina is dead.
When she dies, many people will be implicated.
Su Lun, the guide, is absolutely inseparable.
In the eyes of the inner city tycoons, the lives of people in the outer city are not worth mentioning. They will not listen to your explanation of whether you are powerless. When the eldest lady dies, someone has to take the blame and be buried with her.
Even if he can't die by then, once the identity of the original owner is exposed during the interrogation, Su Lun's ending will be very sad.
So, it seems to have nothing to do with him, but in fact, there is no choice.
To be on the safe side, he decided to "run away".
But after all, the Cross Society took him in, and both Senjo and Captain Kai took good care of him.
Even if Su Lun ran away, he didn't want to implicate them.
Now it happens that Jack is forcing him to go deep into the cave to save people, and everything is justified.
Both of them "died" in the cave, with no bones left. This is the best outcome.
A little guide risked his life to save others, what else can the plutocrats in the inner circle say?
The Cross Society will then be least implicated.
Su Lun felt that he had done his best, and no one could do better than him.
......
While Su Lun was packing up the loot, he was already planning his life after leaving.
Giving up his current identity means giving up everything he is familiar with.
This will be a very difficult process. He cannot expose his shooting skills, living habits, and current image... everything has to start again.
I had a headache thinking about it, and Su Lun didn’t think much about it.
He processed the murder scene to avoid being traced back to clues. Then he carried the body and walked deeper into the cave.
Now that he is planning to run away, he has a more important thing to do now.
That is to find the [Forbidden Object] Sickle!
Identity is gone, but I still have to get my treasure.
Now that several students and mentors with sensitive identities have died, the big shots in the inner city will definitely organize a large-scale search and cleanup of the cave before seeing the bodies.
If high-level professionals really come down, these deformed monsters in the crypt will not be able to stop them.
The scythe is nearby now, and someone might find it.
So, Su Lun planned to find the thing and take it away before running away.
This is the best opportunity, and it may be the only opportunity.
.......
After carrying the body for a while, Su Lun saw a vertical hole on the edge of the cave.
In my impression, this seems to lead to a very deep underground.
He heard that there seemed to be movement of rustling monsters, so he threw down the body with the wounds treated. In the caves, fresh corpses are the favorite food of aberrant monsters, and their blood will attract nearby aberrant monsters. Before long, even the bones will be eaten away.
Su Lun didn’t think too much and walked all the way deeper into the cave.
Thankfully, the previous battle cleared away most of the zombie species in this area, so the journey went smoothly.
Then, he followed the memory line from the harvest and came to the cave where the sickle was.
The caves here are connected to part of the city's sewers. The sound of water can be heard, and the air is filled with a thick putrid smell.
But suddenly, Su Lun saw traces of oil appearing on the ground, and his expression became solemn: "Those 'amoebae' actually chased here?"
I didn't see any traces along the way. I was attracted by Assistant Teacher Rosa and the girl named Reina from another corridor. They were probably trying to find the route to the ground again, but it seemed to be blocked.
"I hope we won't encounter it."
Su Lun muttered in his heart.
Although he knew that those amoebas rarely attacked others, it was best not to encounter them.
After walking not far, Su Lun saw signs of battle again when he was about to reach the place where the sickle was.
There were several corpses of spider-shaped deformed monsters lying in the tunnel. The corpses seemed to have been beaten by guns, and green blood was flowing. A closer look revealed that there was a strange human face pattern on the abdomen and back of these spider corpses.
