Super Godly Machine Army-Chapter 36
Get Ready
“I almost forgot. I still have twenty three inferior-class Spirit Herbs of level one.” Jiang Li hit his head and laughed.
“Convert them immediately.”
Swish! White light flashed and the twenty three inferior-class Spirit Herbs were all converted.
“Conversion successful. Received 230 energy points.”
The total number of energy points he got increased to 1184 points.
“One inferior-class Spirit Herb can only be converted to 10 points, but its price is a hundred times higher than that of a non-graded Spirit Herb. I’m getting the short end of the stick,” Jiang Li said. “Nevertheless, 230 energy points are better than nothing.”
Among the 120 meches he had right now, there were ten Firearm Meches of perfected-stage level one, eight perfected-stage Combat Meches, eight perfected-stage Cold Weapon Meches and six perfected-stage Intel Meches. The remaining eighty eight meches were all at the early stage of level one.
“I won’t convert this Spirit Herb.”
Jiang Li put away the medial-class Spirit Herb of level one, the “Volcano Vine Fruit,” and didn’t convert it into energy points, as it could only be converted to 20 points. It was even more unworthy.
If he met an alchemist in the future, he might be able to make it into a helpful pill. f𝓇ℯℯ𝚠e𝒃𝘯𝒐νel. co𝐦
After making and upgrading the meches, Jiang Li now had a powerful mech company and he could even fight with the ten thousand soldiers of the City Lord Mansion. Besides, Jiang Li purposely left 1184 energy points.
Meanwhile, Jiang Li also sent Hu Dong to the Chamber of Commerce in City South, City West and City North to buy herbs with the banknote of the Quicksand Gang that was worth a million taels of silver. Once they got the herbs, Jiang Li’s military strength would surge again.
After dealing with the meches, Jiang Li went to sleep. The meches stayed near to him to protect him from assassinations.
…
At midnight outside Yongan City.
It was very dark tonight. The moonlight was blocked by clouds. In a corner somewhere, someone brawny with a tiger head and human body walked out from behind a big tree.
“Hu Wu, I told you not to come to me unless there’s something especially important.” In front a tall man was standing with his back facing the monster with a tiger head and human body. He put his hands behind him and said with a deep voice, “Yang Zike is already suspecting me. If I didn’t find someone to distract him, I wouldn’t even have the chance to come here tonight.”
“Hehe, my Lord, it’s not that I want to come to you, but our Commander is already prepared, we’re just waiting for your cooperation.” Hu Wu had a scar on his face, so he was especially creepy when he smiled. “As long as you finish everything, you’ll not have to be fearful all the time and you’ll get great rewards.”
“Tell your Commander I’ve already gotten his message.” Dugu Huangcheng’s voice remained deep.
“Goodbye, goodbye.” Hu Wu turned around and jumped. In a few seconds, he disappeared into the night.
“The Monsters.” Dugu Huangcheng turned around with a calm look and slowly returned to Yongan City.
The next morning Jiang Li woke up. Xiao Hua also came to take care of him.
Hu Dong and the others hadn’t returned yet, but they sent someone back to deliver a message. Since Jiang Li wanted to buy too many non-graded herbs, they didn’t have enough stock.
“Tell Hu Dong to buy as many herbs as they can and bring them back today. Is that clear?” Jiang Li said.
“Yes, Chief. I’ll pass it down now,” the member said.
“Go on.” Jiang Li waved.
“Yes.” The member left.
“They don’t know how to work flexibly. What a waste of time,” Jiang Li mumbled.
“Wang Chao, Ma Han,” Jiang Li yelled.
“Yes.”
“Chief, we’re here. We’re here…” Wang Chao and Ma Han replied immediately. They had been outside the Chief’s compound the entire time, waiting to be called.
“Do you know the way to Stone Village?” Jiang Li asked.
“Stone Village.” Wang Chao and Ma Han looked at each other.
“Chief, well… we’re not sure about it.” Wang Chao shook his head.
“You don’t know?” Jiang Li frowned.
“Chief, there are many villages around Yongan City. We can’t be familiar with all of them, but it’s alright. The Sirius Gang is the boss of City East. There must be someone who knows about it,” Ma Han said.
“Do Wu Zong and Pang Kui know?” Jiang Li asked.
“Chief, since the Sirius Gang became stronger, you gave them quite a lot of pills and silver. They’re both trying to get a ‘Vitality Strengthening Pill,’ so they’re shutting themselves in to form their internal force and reach the early stage of level one,” Ma Han said quietly.
“…”
Jiang Li frowned.
“Sorry, Chief. I’ll ask Wu Zong and Pang Kui to come here now,” Ma Han quickly said.
“It’s alright.” Jiang Li waved. “Go and ask who is familiar with Stone Village and bring him to me immediately.”
“I’m on it.” Ma Han nodded and left right away.
“What about me, Chief?” Wang Chao pointed at himself.
“You go with Ma Han.” Jiang Li waved.
“Yes.” Wang Chao immediately caught up with Ma Han.
An hour later Ma Han and Wang Chao returned with the Hall Master of “Blood Hand Hall,” Shi Baqi.
Blood Hand Hall was originally a second-rate gang, the Blood Hand Gang, and now they became one of the halls of the Sirius Gang.
“Chief, I’m Shi Baqi, the Hall Master of Blood Hand Hall.”
Shi Baqi had dark skin, wide shoulders and big fingers. He was wearing something casual and rough, so clever people would know he came from a poor family. He was candid like a farmer.
“Hm.” Jiang Li nodded, “Shi Baqi, are you familiar with Stone Village?”
“Yes, sure.” Shi Baqi nodded. “Chief, I’m not bragging, but nobody in the Sirius Gang is more familiar with Stone Village than I am, as I’m from there. After my father left six months ago, I didn’t have anyone I know there anymore, so I just stay in Yongan City.”
“Hm, do you know the last leader of the Sirius Gang, my father, died in Stone Village. I want to send some people there to investigate the cause of his death,” Jiang Li said. “We need someone who’s familiar with Stone Village.”
“I want you to be the guide. Is that alright?” Jiang Li asked.
...
“Don’t worry, Chief. Leave it to me,” Shi Baqi said.
“Very well.” Jiang Li nodded and waved his right hand, “Wang Long, come here.”
“Yes.”
Clomp, clomp. Ten meches led by Wang Long formed a full company. There was one Intel Mech of perfected-stage level one, a perfected-stage Combat Mech, a perfected-stage Firearm Mech and a perfected-stage Cold Weapon Mech which was Wang Long.
The remaining six meches were at the early stage of level one and there were two each of the three types of meches.
