Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 120: When in doubt, level up first (4k)

Outer Ring District, an underground black market.

"You call this retrieving stored medicine?"

Yuan Qingzhuo watched in silence as Baichuan Ruoxia threw the trembling man aside, then walked nonchalantly to the gene awakening potion with a sky-high price tag.

Reach out and take it off.

"This guy sold the potion I asked him to keep as a normal commodity. I paid him for keeping it. Now he only took the potion and not my life. Isn't that considered righteousness?"

As Shirakawa Wakaxia spoke, she quickly bought out several bottles of gene awakening potions and stuffed them into a bag that she had also picked up from the black market.

"Okay, that's about it. It's enough for the two of you to use three times."

Putting the bag on her back, Shirakawa Wakaxia turned around and said to Yuan Qingzhuo.

"Then do we have to 'borrow' the vehicle from the car dealership over there?"

Yuan Qingzhuo poked his head out of the store. After being stared at by several strangers with malicious intent, he finally couldn't help it and tripped them from a distance with his martial arts will.

"No need to bother." Baichuan Ruoxia shook her head, walked up to the owner of the store - the man slumped on the ground, and held out her hand to him indifferently: "Car keys."

"Hey, hey... Team Leader Shirakawa, you've made a ton of money by taking all the medicine in my store. This part is my fault because I'm not good enough. I have to compensate you."

The man's face twitched twice, revealing a dry smile:
"But you also know my situation. Nearly half of my wealth is in the car. I also have a wife and children... There's no need to kill me, right?"

After sensing the slight electromagnetic reaction, Shirakawa Wakaha's pupils moved slightly, and she once again paralyzed most of the man's prosthetics, repeating, "Car keys."

Faint bloodstains appeared on the man's neck, and his skin was cut before he could react.

The scar was only a few millimeters away from the artery.

"—Sheppard, considering that we had a stable business relationship for several months before... I don't want to say this for the third time."

After a few seconds of silence, a small diamond-shaped matte black cube was placed in Shirakawa Waka's palm.

The man lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said,

"The key is ******, get out of here!"

Sheppard said indignantly: "--Former leader of the Renhe Group."

"Let's go."

Baichuan Ruoxia acted as if she didn't hear these words, and gestured expressionlessly to Yuan Qingzhuo and the other two to follow.

There was no conversation all the way to the modified steel beast.

This is how it should be.

But just as Shirakawa Wakaha opened the car door and was about to get in, Marina, who was wearing a hood, suddenly said, "Ohara, hold Millie for me."

Yuan Qingzhuo took Millie over, measured the temperature of the girl's forehead with the back of his hand, and frowned slightly: "Whatever it is, go quickly and come back quickly."

Marina clenched her fists and sneered:

"Three seconds is enough."

Then, the beast-eared girl, whose appearance and attitude were completely different from before, turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, just when the second hand in Yuan Qingzhuo's heart clicked to the third time.

Marina, who looked no different from before except for the blood on her fist, came back to him and stretched out her hand to ask for Millie.

Marina said three seconds, so it was three seconds.

When Shirakawa Wakaxia saw her come back, she asked them to sit on this steel behemoth that was more than three meters tall, made of bulletproof armor that was designed to defend against 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets, had a huge fuel tank and more than one heavy firepower, and had a maximum speed of over 280km/h.

As the key was entered, Shirakawa Waka drove the car skillfully.

But what was different from last time was that Yuan Qingzhuo and Marina, who was holding Millie, were both sitting in the back, and there was no one on the passenger seat.

Shirakawa Wakaha didn't care.

She used the power of the magnetic field to take over the system in the car, cut off the communication and positioning systems, and then materialized the coordinates given to her by Yuan Qingzhuo in her mind.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Yuan Qingzhuo in the back seat say:
"By the way, if it's convenient to say, what were you doing just now, Gouzi?"

"Nothing, I just beat the shop owner to death with one punch."

Marina leaned back on the rather soft headrest, yawned, and replied, "Don't ask me why, Xiao Yuan. Don't tell me that you didn't sense his murderous intent that couldn't be concealed at all."

Baichuan Ruoxia was slightly stunned when she heard Marina's answer. She lowered her eyes, sighed silently, and then manipulated the power of the magnetic field to easily release the song through the air.

"Everyone wants to kill me 100%, and they're just about to do it. Why can't I kill him? One less potential enemy is one less, right?"

Marina scoffed and answered as a matter of course.

Yuan Qingzhuo stared at her for a while, then nodded: "Very good."

"At least this way you don't have to worry about being bullied in the future."

"Fuck, what kind of excuse is that, Xiao Yuan."

Marina rubbed Yuan Qingzhuo's head cheerfully, but was then slapped away by the latter.

The two soon fell into an interactive game of avoiding hands.

Only Shirakawa Ruoxia, who was in the driver's seat, couldn't help but recall a young girl's face that was quite similar to that of the shop owner - black hair, blue eyes, and pigtails, who would sweetly call her "Sister Ruoxia" every time she saw her.

And there was that gentle lady who made tea better than I did.

Now, what will happen to them...

call.

In fact, Marina did nothing wrong, it's just that I am too soft-hearted now.

Baichuan Ruoxia curled her lips. If it were in the past, if she was being hunted by a giant company like the Corona Group, she would definitely not let Sheppard go.

It's different now.

——As expected, being a saint is a privilege of the powerful.

So fucking pretentious, just used to it.

She stopped thinking about these trivial things and began to hum softly.

Along the way, there was laughter and joy in the back seat, silence in the front seat, and only the soft singing floating in the air.
.
Thanks to Shirakawa Waka's powerful driving skills and the speed of this steel behemoth, they arrived at Lana's laboratory in only half the time it took Marina to get there.

"I don't remember ever saying you were welcome."

Lana, wearing a white coat, stood at the garage door and said to Yuan Qingzhuo who got out of the car with a frown.

"Don't be so heartless. At least we have the same goal now."

As Yuan Qingzhuo spoke, he found that Lana's eyes were no longer on him.

He followed the other person's gaze.

——Shirakawa Waka?
That's right, Lana was staring blankly at Shirakawa Ruka who had just jumped out of the car. She stood there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

The feeling just now was the legendary spiritual energy [electric current push]?
Lana stood there uncertainly, and then very rudely left Yuan Qingzhuo, who wanted to talk to her, aside, and began to retrieve data from her sensory memory and upload it to the main brain.

Upload, read, analyze. After twenty seconds, Lana regained consciousness and asked Yuan Qingzhuo as if nothing had happened, "Same target? What do you mean?"

"——Let's destroy the Lord of All Machines."

Yuan Qingzhuo spread his hands, as if he was talking about something insignificant. Before Lana could answer, he added, "Actually, we want to take down Andre as well, but this matter should have nothing to do with you, so just the Master of All Machines will do."

Lana was silent for a while, then turned to look at Baichuan Ruoxia again: "What about her? You brought someone in without permission, you have to at least give me a reason to trust this person I have never met."

"In fact, she was the main force in defeating the Lord of All Machines. Marina and I were just cheering for her by holding up colored balloons."

Yuan Qingzhuo grinned, hugged Lana and said with a smile: "Her name is Baichuan Ruoxia. Don't be fooled by her thin arms and legs, but she is a true top-level fifth-level strength. Not long ago, she single-handedly killed the chairman of Gospel Technology, Ravna."

Having said that, Yuan Qingzhuo used his martial arts will to observe Lana's expression and muscle reactions without leaving a trace - after all, one is called "Lavna" and the other is called "Lana", it is hard to imagine that the two have no connection or relationship.

But unfortunately, Lana did not have any outstanding reaction. It was as if she had heard a powerful stranger being killed. She just showed a slightly surprised expression.

Or maybe it's because Lana's body is not a real person, but a doll.

Lana nodded slightly. After briefly confirming that Yuan Qingzhuo's words were highly credible, she directly asked Baichuan Ruoxia:

"Your psychic power is [Electric Current Propulsion], right?"

Shirakawa Wakaha looked into the eyes of the scholar in the white coat and replied calmly, "Yes, but to be more precise, it should be called [magnetic field rotation] now."

"Magnetic field rotation?"

Lana murmured blankly, and then found the description and explanation of this word in the database.

——The theoretically complete realm of the fifth-order psychic energy [Electric Current Propulsion], the final evolutionary version, but in reality no one has ever reached this realm.

Other than that, there is no further explanation.

It is in stark contrast to other detailed explanations that are as detailed as an encyclopedia.

However, right in front of him, there was a girl who was definitely no older than 20 years old and she said that she had reached the state of magnetic field rotation.

Although it is difficult for Lana to imagine how a normal person can go through the long torture and practice of "electric current push" to get a glimpse of a higher realm.

——Because she had tried to obtain the psychic energy [Electric Current Propulsion] through a large amount of psychic awakening, and then spent many years without any progress.

But there is no doubt that it is true.

Because it doesn't have to be fake.

This was the first time she met Shirakawa Wakaka, so there was no need for her to deceive herself.

What's more...she said the four words "magnetic field rotation".

There is a brief record in the database - although no one has actually reached this realm, all owners of electric current drive call the next realm magnetic field rotation.

Lana took a deep breath.

"Ms. Shirakawa..."

She bowed slightly to Baichuan Ruoxia and said, "Can you please assist me in my research? It's not a particularly difficult task. I just need you to provide your hair and blood, and demonstrate the function of magnetic field rotation and explain its feeling."

"What can I get?"

Baichuan Ruoxia did not refuse, but asked directly.

What this means is that if she can get visible benefits, then she can complete the relevant research for Lana.

Don't ask why, and don't ask for more reasons.

"A suit of armor... tailor-made for you, the magnetic field rotator."

Lana replied calmly: "If you can help me complete this unprecedented research, then this armor should also be given to you."

Baichuan Ruoxia did not agree immediately. She turned to Yuan Qingzhuo and asked, "Can you trust it?"

"He is a scientist, and there is a high probability that he has something real in his belly."

Yuan Qingzhuo spread his hands and smiled: "But now I heard it, so if it is a low-probability event, I will work with you to get what we deserve."

While they were talking to Lana, Marina had already run to the door of the laboratory and handed the fevered and unconscious Millie to the second Lana. She only came back after politely asking the other party for help.

"it is good."

Baichuan Ruoxia nodded and stretched out her hand towards Lana: "I promise you, but everything must be completed within one day. I don't have that much time."

“Naturally, time is the most precious resource.”

Lana nodded and arranged for another herself to take away Shirakawa Wakaka, who showed interest, and then looked at Hara Qingzhuo and Marina who were standing together.

"——Then, besides rescuing that girl, what else did you two do?"

"It's very simple."

Yuan Qingzhuo showed Lana the wide variety of potions in his backpack and said, "We are here to awaken our genes. After awakening, we should go directly to find Andre, the old man."

Lana: “…”

After a long silence, Lana rubbed her temple for the first time and showed a confused expression.

"Go straight to Andre after awakening? Just you guys?"

"Delay brings change."

Yuan Qingzhuo calmly replied: "With the Lord of All Things as the enemy, the initiative must be in our own hands... If we wait for the other party to dig a trap before jumping into it, wouldn't it be too stupid?"

——Even if Yuan Qingzhuo had never seen the Lord of All Machines, he did not know the other party's information.

However, from the few words revealed by Ravna before, it is not difficult to guess that the Lord of All Machines has probably taken down most of the Sun City's high-level officials, including Andre.

In this case, the resources and manpower that the other party can control are terrifying.

If I really have to wait for ten days or half a month, I would probably be shot into pieces by the guns and cannons in the sky and on the ground as soon as I step into the inner city of the Sun City.

"rational."

Lana nodded.

Then he looked at Yuan Qingzhuo hesitantly: "Although it makes sense, I still don't want you to die in vain."

"Even if Miss Baichuan can contain and even compete with Andre."

What Lana said is not without reason.

In her eyes, Marina was still a gene awakener equivalent to the fourth level, and her own body was very weak at first. Even taking into account the skills she had shown before, she could only be considered the second Marina at best.

In this way, there are two fourth levels.

But now their fighting power has expanded to the point where any Corona Guard is at least level four. From this perspective, they really look like they are there to deliver their food.

"We have been apart for three days, and we should look at each other with admiration."

Yuan Qingzhuo grinned: "Whether we can win or not is our business, Miss Lana, you just need to take care of the upgrades."

Lana was speechless and could only turn around silently.

"Then follow me."
