From Cybernetics Repairman to God of Machines
Chapter 5: The Increase in Sacrificial Offerings
The middle-aged man opened the capsules one after another in surprise. After confirming that they were all high-quality meat, his gaze toward Gu Cheng completely changed!
He turned and went into a room at the back. A few minutes later, he came out with several capsules, placed them in front of Gu Cheng, and said:
"Here's what you wanted!"
"I must warn you, the city is largely covered by upper-level scanning networks. These things are stored in space capsules, and transporting them out won't be an easy task!"
"But I can help you!"
The middle-aged man's holstered eyes gleamed: "However, this service is not included in the exchange. It will incur an additional 20% commission, calculated based on the total value of your shipment of weapons."
"You only need to pay for another 60 kilograms of fresh meat!"
Gu Cheng understood.
The other party has clearly identified itself as a force outside the city with special resources.
Rebels? Or perhaps members of some shelter!
Gu Cheng quietly spoke up: "No need."
The middle-aged man didn't press the matter, but simply nodded: "My name is Mole. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."
"Especially meat of this quality, I'll take as much as I can get."
Gu Cheng nodded, then stepped away from the territory of the Mute Merchant Guild!
Just a few minutes after Gu Cheng left, the mole took out a walkie-talkie and said a few words.
Then, two silent figures appeared quietly. They walked without making a sound, clearly having undergone special prosthetic modifications.
The mole said, "Follow that tin can!"
"Find a way to get his bottom, but don't touch it!"
The two nodded and walked out.
The two were very fast. If ordinary equipment were used for detection, their figures would not be visible on the device at all. With the modification, high-end shielding devices had already been embedded in their bodies!
Soon, they spotted Gu Cheng.
After many twists and turns, the two followed Gu Cheng to an underground city filled with sewage pipes!
This is the edge of the lower town!
It is a place where one truly lives on the edge of life and death!
This place is filled with the wounded, drug addicts, and people who have lost all hope in life, while all around are fist-sized cockroaches with moldy shells and rats with rotting fur.
However, even the hungriest scavengers dare not touch these moving petri dishes of poisonous bacteria and sources of radiation.
Just one bite, and your already depleted health bar will hit rock bottom!
Just then, Gu Cheng walked to an area with the most homeless people, opened a capsule, and then, more than ten kilograms of meat cooked with spices and broth fell from the sky like rain!
Of course, Gu Cheng didn't go to the extravagance of using good meat, but rather the cheapest mutated meat chunks on the market!
Even so, the sudden aroma of meat drove the hungry people into a frenzy!
"Meat!!"
Someone screamed first, and the crowd erupted in chaos.
They charged straight towards the core area where Gu Cheng was located!
Upon seeing this, the members of the Silent Merchants' organization simultaneously launched themselves out and rushed into the center of the chaos.
The next second, ultrasonic pulses, ear-piercing sound waves, and electric currents erupted from their bodies, causing the homeless people and rats to scream and retreat.
Some of the homeless were already weak, and after being intimidated like this, their eyes widened instantly, and they fell to the ground.
But neither of them even raised an eyebrow. Rust City did indeed have laws against arbitrary killing, but the prerequisite was...
Are these people abandoned by the city still human?
Unless it's a large-scale massacre, it won't trigger a trial by the tribunal!
Furthermore...
The body never gets to decompose naturally and be discovered.
As for the reason?
The "rats" here will soon turn it into organic food!
As the crowd dispersed, the trading canned goods had already overturned, and one of the men ripped off his tattered cloak.
Beneath the cloak lay a rusty, welded-patterned "Laborer Type 1" body.
Both of them froze at the same time!
There is no humming from the miniature fusion battery compartment, no heat from the servo motors, and no active signals from the neural current circuits...
There's nothing there!
This is just a pile of cobbled-together metal scraps, lacking even the most basic power source.
One of them exclaimed in surprise:
"How is that possible?"
Theoretically speaking, this thing is completely inoperable!
but……
The other party clearly just walked out of the exchange!
After searching around, one of them said:
"The goods traded have disappeared!"
Right under their noses, the other party actually managed to get rid of the goods!
……
Meanwhile, deep within a crack in a rusted pipe, a bionic rat covered in grease scurried forward to an abandoned building, opened its mouth to regurgitate, and spat out two space capsules!
The red light in its eyes suddenly intensified, then began to flash rapidly.
The body's self-destruct program is triggered.
Tiny sparks flew from the joint gaps, white smoke billowed out, accompanied by a slight "crackling" sound. In less than two seconds, flames shot up from the inside and quickly engulfed the entire body!
The wreckage was still warm when a hand picked up the capsule and then disappeared into the shadows!
……
Close the doors and windows.
Gu Cheng unfolded the capsule, and the next second...
The purchased weapons were right in front of us!
The most eye-catching thing is the five quietly lying "martyr" self-destructing mechanical bodies!
Based on a spider shape, once detonated, it has the power of ten household gas cylinders, demonstrating its destructive power!
This divine descent took thirty-two minutes and consumed thirty-two faith points and one bionic mouse!
It wasn't that Gu Cheng was making a mountain out of a molehill, but rather that one had to be cautious about suddenly bringing out so much high-quality meat!
And now...
The wires of the bionic mouse were completely severed by spontaneous combustion.
Furthermore, the mechanical body was actually pieced together by Gu Cheng using broken parts.
This is a completely safe zone!
Today, as for today, is the agreed-upon day of sacrifice!
Upon opening the game, compared to the previous tragedy, the camp is now in good order, and the expressions on everyone's faces are no longer despair, but anticipation!
Located on the renovated altar.
They were densely packed together various kinds of creatures that Gu Cheng had never seen before!
There were armored, spiky multi-legged beasts, strange birds with metallic-looking feathers, and several of the antlered deer from before!
Roughly estimated, the amount of flesh and blood this time is at least five times that of the last time!
Moreover, a pile of ores emitting a faint elemental glow and several uniquely shaped weapons were neatly stacked on one side of the altar!
Looking down at the sand table, Gu Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.
With the cybernetics, Grom's potential was unleashed.
The number of sacrifices offered during the hunt has clearly increased dramatically!
Such a large quantity of meat could even be exchanged for a decent mech suit!
Right now, the most important thing is to expand the faith and attract believers, and eliminating potential threats is of paramount importance!
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng clicked to issue the divine command. After paying 10 faith points, a clear voice appeared in Grom's ear.
"I will grant you the right to live."
"Attack the kobold tribe! Eliminate this threat!"
"From now on, a sacrifice will be performed every three days!"
And in the very next second...
As the meat and minerals on the altar disappeared.
A large number of never-before-seen equipment and weapons suddenly appeared before the entire tribe.
The god of machinery has appeared once again!
