Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 51 Harvest Day

……

The closer Qin Xia got to the cave, the faster his pace became.

He thought that he had been missing for almost the entire afternoon and night, and Angron and Ono would definitely be worried.

They probably felt that they were taken away by their slave owners as punishment, or that they were slaughtered for being disrespectful during meals, and they must have been very anxious.

Thinking of this, Qin Xia's steps became much lighter, and the confusion and solemnity brought to him by the crazy patriarch of the Tark family also dissipated a lot.

Qin Xia likes the feeling of being cared for by others.

When a security intelligent machine sent a signal to the gate and it opened, the gladiators all stood up when they saw Qin Xia was safe and sound, and surrounded him amid the roar of the gate falling again.

"The person in charge of the arena didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Where have you been?"

Such concerned questions filled Qin Xia's ears.

Qin Xia thought that he might be asked about his condition, but he didn't expect that almost everyone would come around to ask about his condition, even those who had never spoken a word to him and had only made eye contact once or twice.

But Qin Xia was not particularly surprised.

The environment of the Colosseum is closed and dangerous. It is an instinct in human genes to stick together for warmth. What's more, even the Skinner, the Nusa Twins and the ten gladiators who later refused to follow the principle of not killing had fought against the untouchable slaughterers together with everyone else.

It's not surprising that their friendship progressed so quickly.

"The head of the Tark family is a madman." Qin Xia sighed, then opened his arms, "But as you can see, I am safe and sound, it's just that I did something."

Angron breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Qin Xia was fine.

Those who had little interaction with Qin Xia turned around and left quietly to the corner, doing what they had to do.

"follow me."

Qin Xia spoke softly, and his words were transmitted into the ears of the person he wanted to hear.

There are only four people: Ono, Angron, Crest, and Yochula.

Including Qin Xia, a total of five people came to the corner of the cave where Qin Xia often sat cross-legged in meditation. Then, as Qin Xia waved his arms, an invisible barrier separated the internal area of ​​the cave.

From the subjective perspective of people outside the barrier, Qin Xia sat in the corner to rest after coming back.

But for the people inside the barrier, everything was normal. They could see what Qin Xia was doing and saying.

Ever since Qin Xia made up his mind to take the risk and explore his own psychic talent, and after a series of events, especially the battle just now, he has become more and more adept at using psychic power. He does not need to devote special energy and time to study a way to use psychic power for some small things.

"Yochula, the prosthetic they gave you..." Qin Xia pulled the young gladiator's iron hand, "Is this useful? They didn't just use a piece of junk to make do, did they?"

Yochula's broken arm was replaced by a new metal prosthesis.

This prosthesis looks no different from an ordinary person's arm. If Qin Xia didn't touch it, he wouldn't even be able to tell that it was made of metal.

"It's exactly the same as the hand I was born with, and it doesn't hurt anymore after I put it on." Yochula said as he made clenched and unclenched fists to show Qin Xia how suitable this prosthetic arm was.

Yochula is still immersed in the joy of having his limbs intact again.

Crest and the others watched Qin Xia take care of Yochula's arm, recalling that not long after Qin Xia left, a doctor came in to install a prosthesis for Yochula, allowing Yochula to enjoy treatment that other gladiators would never be able to enjoy...

Crest and Ono exchanged glances, and the former realized that Qin Xia might have made some deal with the patriarch of the Tark family.

Angron felt Yochula's joy, all the joy since Yochula recovered, and did not notice what Ono and Crest discovered at this time.

Crest asked first: "Speaking of you..." "I made a deal with the patriarch of the Turk family."

Qin Xia let go of Yochula's hand, then looked at Ono, then at Crest and Angron in Yochula's astonished eyes.

Qin Xia had already thought about how he would answer if he was questioned about what he had done.

It's not about deception, it's not about making excuses to hide or refusing to explain, but about being honest.

A deal was made with the patriarch of the Talco family, and it was a deal, and there was no hiding it.

This was not a decision made for the current interpersonal relationships and special circumstances, but because of Qin Xia's habits.

When leading a scientific research team, Qin Xia would use the simplest and most straightforward way to communicate with each other the information they had obtained or mastered. Unless there was a special reason for something, he would not beat around the bush or deliberately conceal it.

Behaviors such as concealment and ambiguity that are done subconsciously for emotional reasons will be intercepted by rational thinking about whether they are necessary and effective.

"Yochula's arm was replaced."

"There are two other conditions. From now on, we will have a steady supply of medical supplies. We will no longer have to rely on the whim of the arena director to get bandages."

"And, we no longer need to fast."

Qin Xia stated these three conditions frankly.

Crest and Honor were somewhat at a loss as to what to do with Qin Xia's frankness.

Yochula was wondering whether it was because of his own affairs that Qin Xia did something he didn't want to do.

"That High Knight? He's our enemy!" Angron couldn't understand. "We benefited from the deal, and he obviously benefited too. How can you help our enemy?"

"It's a long story." Qin Xia sat down cross-legged, took off the invisibility cloak and spread it on the ground, then took off the weapons and backpack that were previously covered by the invisibility cloak and placed them on the ground.

Qin Xia then narrated what happened when he was having dinner with the crazy patriarch of the Tark family, and how he went to a manor, killed someone first, and then accomplished the three things he wanted to do.

No matter how big or small the matter is, it is stated in a straightforward manner.

"I want to make weapons, I want to make something that can hack into the security machine, and I also want to try the possibility of beheading the slave owner after escaping the arena." Qin Xia opened his backpack, "Even if that madman doesn't agree to my three conditions, I will agree to go to the manor to kill people, because this is my only chance to leave the arena and take the opportunity to do what I want to do."

“All in all, it was a very fruitful trip.”

Qin Xia shook out all the contents of his backpack.

Angron had never seen the things in the backpack. Crest and Yochula had been slaves since childhood.

Qin Xia didn't expect them to be able to tell what these things were, so he planned to explain them one by one in person.

But Ono saw it.

"Gladiator machine gun, gladiator beam cannon, gladiator energy pistol, gladiator high-frequency wave sword, these are all gladiator series weapons..."

"The explosive in your backpack is a scatter grenade. When it lands, it will release a beam to sweep all nearby enemies. If this thing is thrown into a bunker, it will kill everyone inside."

"And this data pad."

"X-ray eyepiece... did you kill the elite noble guards?"

Ono fiddled with the heavy machine gun, checking it very neatly to see if there was any damage, and opened the gun to check if there was any residual ammunition inside, because he knew that this type of machine gun was very prone to accidental discharge.

After putting down the heavy machine gun, Ono picked up the beam cannon and pressed the trigger three times to put the gun into the energy storage stage, then pressed the trigger four times to put the gun into the deactivated state.

After fiddling with the two big guys, Ono sighed, "Today is your harvest day."
