Universal Mechanic

Chapter 485

Xiao Mingqin secretly observed the man who was arguing with the knights patrolling nearby and thought helplessly: (Although it feels troublesome, I can't just leave it alone.)

Xiao Mingqin said as he handed over the remaining skewers on the stove.

Xiao Mingqin: Sorry to pause for a moment!

After saying that, Xiao Mingqin walked out from behind the stall and walked straight towards the man who reeked of alcohol.

Xiao Mingqin said with a smile: I'm sorry you have caused trouble to everyone. Can you please leave?

As he spoke, Xiao Mingqin exuded a hint of cold murderous intent.

Ha! You talking to me? Do you know who I am? A pariah!

After saying that, the man suddenly raised his fist and hit Xiao Mingqin. Before the knights tried to stop him, the man was stabbed in the abdomen by the handle of the knife and fainted.

Xiao Mingqin put the straight knife back to his waist and said: Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will treat you all to some barbecue skewers after we close the stall.

Ah yes! I'm so sorry to bother you all!

As they spoke, several knights quickly dragged the man away.

Xiao Mingqin went back to doing his business and didn't care about this little episode.

Xiao Mingqin: (I didn’t expect something like this to happen the next day after the sale. That man wasn’t drunk at all and if that punch had hit a normal person, he would have to recuperate for a few days even if he didn’t go to the hospital. I originally expected him to be trying to steal the formula or something, but I didn’t expect it to be so cruel.)

While thinking about this, Xiao Mingqin secretly looked at a few people who were acting furtively among the crowd.

Xiao Mingqin: (What a hassle! I didn’t expect to be targeted so early. I have to show off my skills. Although there are side dishes, I’ll show off a little.)

After finishing his thinking, Xiao Mingqin sped up a little.

Xiao Mingqin: After you get your portions, please don’t stand next to the stall as it will cause trouble to others. And sorry to bother you all, please wait for me for a moment while I prepare some ingredients.

As he spoke, Xiao Mingqin threw a basket of washed vegetables up. Then, under ten knife lights of different colors, the vegetables were evenly cut into small pieces and the side dishes fell into the box containing the ingredients.

Wow!

Bravo!

This skill is no worse than that of a restaurant chef...

Maybe he is really a chef from somewhere? After all, this event is a selection!

But isn’t this unfair?

There's nothing we can do about it. Although it's a bit cruel, it's said that some big shots will be coming this time.

Is this the person in the rumors?

I'm not sure. I just heard about it by chance. It is said that Master Mu Xingshuang is studying with that person.

Really? !

Hush, keep your voice down!

Sorry, but this is too much.

Oops, this is not the place to talk. Let’s go somewhere else.

Xiao Mingqin glanced at the message on the bracelet and replied: Thank you, Xi Qiling!

Xi Qiling: It’s okay! It’s a good opportunity to promote it! The troublemaker is the nearby small chamber of commerce, Xiaoxing will be responsible for handling it.

Xiao Mingqin: Do you want to get rid of your competitors?

Xi Qiling: That's about right? I'll take care of this part and you can just focus on your business.

Xiao Mingqin: Got it.

Just as Xiao Mingqin continued to do his business in the garden on the rooftop not far away.

Xi Qiling shook his head helplessly and said: It's true that you can't hold it back so soon.

The maid beside her asked

So what are we going to do, adults?

Xi Qiling casually opened a can of milk and said: Use them to spread the information as I said, but don't do it too obviously.

Yes! I will give the order right away.

Xi Qiling: Well, then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to go downstairs.

Do you need someone to accompany you?

Xi Qiling: No need, you will just get in the way if you follow me.

After saying this, Xi Qiling disappeared.

Just after Xi Qiling left, the maid said to the garden which seemed to be empty except for her.

Did you hear that? Execute now!

Then, amid a commotion, several dark shadows flashed through the flowers.

The maid sighed helplessly when she saw this scene.

It seems that I need to train more.

After saying this, the maid took off her disguise and walked into the shadows.

And at this time in the lower black market.

Xi Qiling: (As expected, the place managed by Xiaoxing has more rules than I thought.)

While thinking about Xi Qiling, she was walking among the crowd selecting goods when the last thing caught her attention.

Xi Qiling: I found it. Boss, how much do you want to pay for it?

Hearing Xi Qiling's words, the old man raised his head and looked at him. His originally heavy eyelids gradually lifted up, and the eyes hidden underneath were revealed.

Oh, oh, oh! I never thought that I could still see such glory in my old age!

Xi Qiling: Haha, it’s really an honor. So, boss, how much do you want to pay?

Hahaha! The customer is really mean! You can see the value of this thing at first glance, right?

As he spoke, the boss stretched his skinny arms and pulled the broken sword out of the scabbard.

Xi Qiling: ...What a pity. How much do you want to pay?

I don't want money, I want the kiss of the dark moon.

Xi Qiling: Humph~ You want to prolong your life? But don’t you think your request is a bit too much?

I think this thing is worth it.

Xi Qiling: Okay, but in exchange I want your recipe.

...It's good, but the quality has to be a hundred years old.

Xi Qiling: Yes, and you can inspect the goods.

As he spoke, Xi Qiling took out a translucent black lily from his space ring.

Oh, oh, oh! This is it! This old man is indeed blessed by God!

Xi Qiling handed the Moonlit Kiss to the boss and said: Well, don't blame me for not reminding you that the potion will have terrible side effects.

I understand! But it's worth it! Here are the recipes and swords you asked for! So I'm leaving now!

After saying that, the boss suddenly disappeared.

Xi Qiling picked up the purchased formula and sword and said: Plane transfer potion? I didn't expect to meet such an incredible guy.

As he spoke, Xi Qiling blended into the crowd again and continued shopping and picking out goods.

Xi Qiling: I hope the Queen will like this thing. After all, even if it is broken, it is still a sacred artifact.

At this time in the laboratory

Li Yisheng: ...Hmm? What is Xi Qiling so happy about? He even forgot to turn off the soul connection.

Li Fenghua observed the blood sample and said: Maybe something good happened? Oh, by the way, please record it for me. This is because of environmental changes.

Li Yisheng: It’s okay, Beta will record it by itself. But will this data really be useful?

Li Fenghua: It’s hard to say. Li and I originally planned to see which type of cause of variation has a higher average value and target that one first. However, the data is too average, as if it were artificially manipulated.

Li Yisheng: If that's the case, all we need to do is catch the mastermind, extract his soul, and force him to tell us a solution.

Li Fenghua: That would be great, then we can just destroy them according to the old rules. I have quite a few experimental subjects that can massacre an entire country in one go.

Li Yisheng: Don’t mess around. What if the degree of mutation gets worse?

Li Fenghua: Not really. My experimental product was originally used to deal with some things and has strange corrosive and devouring abilities. But it won’t be used in the short term. I don’t know what will happen if it expires.

Li Yisheng: My dear sister, you are sometimes so natural that you are even more dangerous than someone like me who can cast forbidden spells at will.

Li Fenghua: Oh, is there?

Li Yisheng: Yes, okay, I’m almost going to help Chu Yunqi with the experiment.

Li Fenghua: So she is still testing the World Device in her hand?

Li Yisheng: Strictly speaking, I am a skilled user of the technique. Yesterday she said she wanted to make a fireball but ended up making a small sun instead. In the end I had to throw the small sun into another dimension to solve the problem.

Li Fenghua: Isn’t Anna here?

Li Yisheng: She is studying cake recipes, and she still firmly believes that the problems with the cakes are definitely due to other ingredients, not because she always uses holy water instead of water.

Li Fenghua: ...She hasn't given up yet?

Li Yisheng: Don't worry, there's only one person in the kitchen now and she won't explode. I've saved the file, just go for it.

Li Fenghua: The same to you. By the way, Yunqi asked me for a lot of healing potions. Please help me take them to the box at the door.

Li Yisheng: ...Is there poison in it?

Li Fenghua: Don’t worry, it’s just a prank, nothing will happen.

Li Yisheng: Okay, it’s probably used to bully Xiaoyan. But Xiaoyan has been afraid of her for a long time anyway.

After saying that, Li Yisheng left.

At this time in the training ground

Shen Yanyan: Wow!

Shen Yanyan said as she dodged the attack magic of various elements falling from the sky.

Shen Yanyan: Is Sister Yunqi not well yet?

Chu Yunqi controlled the beads on the bracelet and said: Wait a minute, don't be impatient. After all, if it wasn't for the fact that you failed to block the frost attack with the chain and caused the chain to be frozen, would it be like this now?

Shen Yanyan: How would I know I would be frozen? Wow! Why is there a mountain?

Chu Yunqi said as she looked at the mountain that was falling from the sky.

Chu Yunqi: Oh... I accidentally adjusted it wrong and all the energy was transferred to the earth element and it turned out like this.

Shen Yanyan: Don't analyze it so calmly at a time like this! Deal with that first!

Chu Yunqi: There’s nothing I can do. I have no magic power and you are not good at causing trouble. Let’s wait for the big bat to come and rescue us.

Then, with the appearance of a huge black hole, the entire mountain was directly teleported to a corner of the universe.

Li Yisheng said while pinching Chu Yunqi's face.

Li Yisheng: What are you doing, silly saint?

Chu Yunqi: ...I accidentally failed to control it, but it’s better than releasing a forbidden spell, right?

Li Yisheng: ...This isn't that good, but can you still continue training like this?

Chu Yunqi slumped down in the chair and said: Obviously not, because my magic power is used up and Xiaoyan's chains are frozen.

Li Yisheng said to Shen Yanyan while looking at the chains that had frozen into a ball.

Li Yisheng: Xiaoyan, do you want help?

Shen Yanyan smashed the ice with a hammer and said, "No need! I can do it myself!"

Li Yisheng: Forget it, let’s have some tea first.

As Li Yisheng spoke, he snapped his fingers and a table full of desserts suddenly popped out from the shadow.

Chu Yunqi reached out to take the cake and said: I want cake!

Li Yisheng: Take your time, don't rush. There are a lot of them anyway. Hei spent a lot of effort and finally got rid of some of the traps to put food.

Chu Yunqi: Is it finally demolished?

Li Yisheng: Yes, it was finally demolished. It’s unbelievable that you guys turned my beautiful castle into something uninhabitable.

Chu Yunqi: That’s not my fault. By the way, it seems that Xia Luo went to work, right?

Li Yisheng: Yes, he is doing his old job as a diplomat and cooperating with Noel's actions. Well, the two of them should be on the way to a party now. I remember that the target is the senior officials of the Universal Federation, right?

Chu Yunqi said while cutting the cake: I don't know why she said that the problem is not big and they can solve it. It seems that this time it is a cooperation with the top leaders of the Universal Federation? But because it was very late, I didn't ask more.

Li Yisheng: Really? But they can still use armor in the most critical moment, so there should be no problem, right?

Chu Yunqi: Will His Majesty teach me a lesson for using armor against ordinary people?

Li Yisheng: Indeed.

At this time, Charlotte and Noel were stuck in traffic in a convertible on a highway on a planet affiliated with the Universal Federation.

Charlotte: Why is this happening?

Noel: ...I'm curious too. It's strange that I checked ahead of time and there won't be traffic jams at this time! Charlotte!

Charlotte: Got it!

As they were talking, the two of them jumped out of the car and ran forward. The next second, a fireball blew up the car they were driving.

Noel: Hey, even though it’s rented, you still have to pay for it if it breaks down.

As he spoke, Noel threw a few playing cards at the enemies attacking them, but the playing cards only cut off a few street lights.

Charlotte: What should we do now? It seems someone knew our purpose in advance.

Noel: Maybe it's because of the notice? What should I do now? I can run over there, but I really don't think there will be any change if I go.

As he spoke, Noel smashed the window of a car nearby, but there was no one inside.

Charlotte: Oh, this is so strange. Everything was normal until just now. Could it be the effect of the magic circle just now?

Noel: Maybe it's the effect of the invitation? There's magic on it. I originally thought it was for monitoring. I didn't expect it to have this function.

As he spoke, Noel threw the invitation sealed in a white envelope in his hand.

Charlotte: So are we still going to go there now? Normally, I would just ignore it, but this time, Anna said she wanted that thing.

Noel: So what choice do we have?

Charlotte: What do you think?

Noel: Let's go.

After saying that, the two of them started moving in the traffic jam and ran to their destination five kilometers away.

five minutes later

Charlotte: Even after we got to the city, there was still no one there. Of course, there were still some rats.

Noel took out his pistol and said: So let's do it?

Charlotte: Go ahead!

After saying that, Charlotte shot an arrow neatly into the sky, and then countless storm arrows fell and nailed the killer hiding in the dark to the ground.

Noel: Then it's my turn.

As he spoke, Noel walked towards the killer not far away and took off the mask on his face.

Noel: Oh, his face is ruined. It looks like Deadpool?

As Noel spoke, he took off the masks of several killers. However, their faces were covered with scars and it was impossible to tell what they originally looked like.

Noel: ...This wasn't intentional. It was probably torn into this state by someone's own fingernails in extreme pain. ...I originally learned from Xi Qiling that this is a marginal area, so the executive officer is acting like a local tyrant. It seems we can use violence instead.

Charlotte: Don't worry, at least they died without pain. Let's go, we must make them pay the price.

As they talked, the two of them walked towards their destination.

Charlotte: In exchange for this device, I will obtain the power of the end.

As she spoke, Charlotte took out a dagger and shot it forward like an arrow. Accompanied by the sound of breaking glass, the two broke free from the illusion.

At this time, the god whose chest was pierced said in shock: Why were you able to break free from the illusion! ?

Charlotte: Isn't this nonsense? This crude illusion had better be able to fool people! If it wasn't for waiting for you to reveal your flaws, who would be fooled!

As she spoke, Charlotte gave him a flying kick in the face and threw the necklace he used to create the illusion and the desperate potion to Noel. Then she put on brass knuckles and swung her fist at the god's face.

Charlotte: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh-la-la-la!

Noel put his things away and said: ...You take your time with it, I'm going to open the safe first.

ten minutes later

Noel said as he cracked the safe: Is it over?

Charlotte stretched and said: Well~ I've been busy recently and haven't had time to relieve stress. Now I finally feel much better.

Noel: Let me ask if he was not beaten to death?

Charlotte: Don't worry, I'll just beat him half to death. The Protoss are pretty strong. They can't be killed with the fighting style I learned from JOJO. Besides, the federal official in charge of the aftermath has already arrived, so I handed him over after I was sure there was no problem.

Noel: Your brain will go awry if you leave His Majesty for too long... Oh, it's open.

After saying that, Noel took out a golden crystal wrapped in special cloth from the tenth-layer safe.

After Noel put away the crystal and the cloth, he said: Now that you have the things, let's go back to the boss. She is the only one who can handle this thing.
