Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Chapter 139 It's broken, buy one get one free!

"Moreover, as the technology advances further, the number of parts that need to be processed will only increase."

"So I'm planning to get something big."

"A big guy?" Su Man was taken aback, not quite understanding.

Jiang Zhe crossed his arms and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I'm going to make an auxiliary machine tool."

"Machine tools!?"

Su Man's eyes widened, and her voice changed.

"You mean something like a factory?"

"You actually managed to get your hands on this kind of technology?"

Given that most people operate machines by hand, bringing out a machine tool is practically an earthquake for the industry.

"Pretty much. While this thing can't directly replace a card maker, it can perfectly perform the preparatory work."

Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, then added.

"This thing is very complicated, and it might be a bit slow for me to do it alone."

"Furthermore, I need to prepare for my trip to the capital, as well as other crucial research."

"so----"

He looked at Su Man with intense gaze.

"I'd like to entrust you with part of the assembly and debugging of the machine tools."

"I?"

Su Man pointed to her nose, her face full of disbelief.

He actually entrusted me with something so important?

"What? You don't dare?" Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow.

"Who says I wouldn't dare!"

Upon hearing this, Su Man immediately straightened her back, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in her eyes.

This feeling of being completely trusted and entrusted with important responsibilities gave her an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"If you dare to teach, then I dare to do it!"

"How could I possibly miss out on something like this?"

"Great, that's very energetic!"

The next day, on the back hill of the academy.

This place was originally an abandoned training ground, overgrown with weeds, with only a relatively flat cement area in the center.

When Jiang Zhe arrived just in time, he saw two figures in the distance.

Lei Ya was squatting on a broken stone pillar.

Moreover, he was holding a twig and drawing circles on the ground frantically, muttering to himself, his face full of displeasure.

In the center of that arena stood a man as tall as an iron tower.

-

Raymond.

He wasn't wearing his loose association uniform today; instead, he wore a black vest similar to the one worn by Leia.

The rock-hard muscle lines were fully exposed, even gleaming with a bronze sheen in the sunlight.

"President Lei? You're here too?"

Jiang Zhe took a closer look, raised an eyebrow, and was immediately surprised.

"Is this... buy one get one free? Or is it a case of 'if you beat the little one, you get the big one'?"

"Haha! Assistant Professor Jiang is joking."

Raymond burst into laughter upon hearing this, his voice booming so loudly that the leaves around him rustled.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who bullies the weak."

"This girl insists on fighting you, but I saw it clearly last time: she's too inexperienced and can't force you to use your full strength."

As he spoke, he glanced at Leia, who was still drawing circles on the ground beside him, and his tone became sterner.

"Girl, watch carefully!"

"Today I'll show you what real martial arts are!"

Leia pursed her lips upon hearing this, and although she was unconvinced, her body still turned around honestly.

After all, this kind of hands-on teaching is indeed effective.

Raymond turned around, his eyes sharpening, and an aura of power instantly erupted from him.

"I heard from Old Man Lin that you're going to the capital?"

"Perfect timing. I also want to personally test whether your tricks will still work in the face of absolute strength."

"So, this is a training match?"

Jiang Zhe flexed his wrists, and his expression became serious.

"That's right."

Raymond nodded, then held up three fingers.

"I will suppress my strength to the mid-level of the third rank, and I will only use physical techniques, without using any cards."

"If you can last ten minutes under my thumb, or — defeat me."

"That means you win."

"As for the prize—"

He casually pulled a fist-sized piece of metal from his pocket, which was jet black but faintly glowed, and tossed it over.

"Borrow it."

Jiang Zhe subconsciously reached out and took it; it felt heavy in his hand.

Moreover, that unique cool touch even invigorated his mental energy.

"This is?"

He looked at the metal in his hand with some doubt. Although he didn't know what it was, his intuition told him that it was definitely a good thing.

"Never seen this before, have you?"

Raymond grinned, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"This is meteorite iron, a specialty of our Iron Fortress City."

"Its hardness and energy conductivity are top-notch; it's considered a treasure even in the capital."

"Although there's only this small piece here, as long as you can beat me, I'll have the rest sent to the old man."

"Meteorite Iron —"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhe's heart stirred, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the metal.

A specialty product that is both hard and can be ducted?

Isn't this exactly the high-grade material he needs right now?

With this, his exoskeleton armor will have a perfect skeleton.

"Phew—Since Chairman Lei is so generous, then I shall respectfully accept his offer."

Jiang Zhe put the meteorite iron aside, then took a deep breath and instantly mobilized his mental energy.

Facing an opponent of this caliber, even if you suppress your strength, you must not be complacent in the slightest.

"Snap—"

Accompanied by a crisp mechanical meshing sound.

Jiang Zhe first took out the dark blue boxing glove from his backpack and slowly put it on his left hand.

In an instant, a chill spread out, and even the moisture in the surrounding air seemed to condense.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, Raymond's eyes lit up slightly, and he then examined the gauntlet that exuded a chilling aura with great interest.

"Is this the Frozen Gauntlet that shone so brightly at the exchange meeting?"

"But I don't care about that kind of technology—"

He twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.

"Let me experience it for myself, Leia, start the time!"

"bring it on!"

However, Jiang Zhe's words hadn't even completely faded away.

Raymond's figure, which had stood like an iron tower, had vanished from its spot.

So fast!

Jiang Zhe's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even if the opponent didn't use any speed-boosting cards, the speed generated purely by physical force was still terrifyingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely oppressive and foul wind rushed towards them. "Bang!"

Without thinking, he instinctively raised his hands to block.

The next moment, a muffled thud was heard.

Jiang Zhe felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding armored vehicle.

He was blasted back several meters, his feet leaving two deep furrows in the ground.

"It's so heavy!"

Jiang Zhe shook his slightly numb arm, secretly alarmed.

Is this what pure physical suppression is?

Even if he suppressed his strength, it was still something he couldn't withstand in his current state.

"It flew away already?"

Leia, standing on the sidelines, was stunned, and the tree branch in her hand broke.

Seeing this, Raymond didn't rush to give chase. Instead, he turned back to look at Leia and said in a deep voice.

"That's the power of momentum! As long as you're fast and ruthless enough, fancy techniques are meaningless!"

After saying that, he turned to Jiang Zhe again, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.

"The response is good, but not enough."

The next moment, Raymond shot out again, his fist, the size of a sandbag, aimed straight for Jiang Zhe's face.

"Do you really think I'm a wooden stake?"

A glint flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes, and he instantly activated a card.

"A blinding card!"

Upon seeing this, Leia immediately perked up. This trick was disgusting; she had suffered a great loss because of it before.

"Bang!"
