Chapter 125 8 My Friend’s Friend Is Naturally My Friend as Well [710]

Chapter 125 8. My friend’s friend is naturally my friend【710】

When Mason finished brewing the first dose of potion, his team members also returned home with a full load, like sisters who were satisfied after a bloody battle.

Barbara was holding several different types of electronic devices in her hand, and Zha Kang had a strange-looking magic book in his hand.

Ergong was playing with a Damascus sword, and even Catwoman was admiring the colorful jewelry ring on her finger that had no use except for its extreme beauty.

Everyone seemed to get what they wanted.

But they certainly couldn't guess what treasure Mason found in this ascetic room.

"How about it? Will trading be fun?"

The young man walked out of the alchemy room holding a cup of warm potion that had just come out of the pot. The strange smell still left on him made the two ladies pinch their noses.

Faced with Mason's question, Zha Kang, who was smoking a cigarette, curled his lips and said:

"To be honest, it's just so-so. The rare and good things from all over the world sound very bluffing, but if you look around, you will find that most of them are flashy and no one will put out the real good things.

What is really useful on that street are some precious materials.

It can only be regarded as an appetizer.

I just asked at the front desk of the castle, and the cute goblin receptionist told me that the trade fair for senior personnel will only open in the castle at night.

That's the highlight.

But our guess was right, Mason.

The potions and low-level magic weapons you made are very popular among newcomers. Coupled with Lady Selina's super charm, it only took us twenty minutes to sell out all the things we brought.

I got some drawings for you. "

The dark wizard threw a stack of rolled up blueprints over, and Mason took it in his hand to examine it. At the same time, he handed the potion that had just come out of the pot to Zha Kang and motioned for him to drink it.

Constantine was unwilling to be a drug tester.

But the weird smell of the potion in front of him made the magic power in his body more active.

"New medicine?"

He asked with squinting eyes.

Mason nodded, analyzed the drawing in his hand and said:

"Perit potion, the formula I just learned, don't care about the name, and don't ask me who Perit is. This thing can enhance the effects of all spells within a few minutes after drinking it, but it is poisonous, so take it easy."

"Cool, I like this simple and direct strengthening drug the best."

Zha Kang whistled and took a small sip.

After drinking, veins popped up on his neck, which shocked the others, but he didn't feel anything and snapped his fingers.

The lighting technique, which was originally just a ball of green fireflies, directly created a fireball the size of a human head, which almost ignited Barbara's fiery red hair next to her, causing the gentle girl to scream loudly.

"Xiao Zha will be willing to pay a lot in exchange for this formula."

Constantine put the remaining potion in his bag and rubbed his hands at Mason, obviously asking his captain to pay his "pickup fee" again.

Mason glared at Zaccon, but still wrote down the recipe for the Perit potion and threw it to him.

People on your own will always be tolerated more.

"Barbara, there are two barrels, come with me."

After Mason finished analyzing the various drawings that Zha Kang exchanged for him, he threw them into his bag and snapped his fingers at the two new team members. He took out the card given by the obscene elf receptionist and planned to visit another member of Mr. Hunter's team. A team of "one's own people".

Before leaving, Mason took out a piece of paper written in advance and handed it to Catwoman, saying:

"Selena, you take John out for a walk. Familiarize yourself with the environment and buy the supplies we urgently need on paper. It's best if you can buy them all. If that doesn't work, just wait until the high-end trade fair starts in the evening."

"I feel like I've become the steward of Team K, little Mason."

Selena took the paper unhappily and complained:

"Sister thinks I can take on more important responsibilities."

"OK."

Mason blinked and whispered:

"I focused on a pioneer team called 'Amaterasu', so I asked Sister Catwoman to help me collect information, and if possible, I could break into them.

Use your invincible charm, big sister, I hope you can bring back good news. "

"Hmph, just wait and see."

Catwoman raised her chin proudly and snapped her fingers at Zha Kang, who was still pouring the antidote, to get him ready to go shopping.

Unlike Mason, who came with a purpose, Selina really regarded this trip to the Star Castle as a relaxing vacation to relieve the psychological pressure caused by her bad adopted son.

On the other side, Mason, Barbara and Erbong quickly arrived at the standard room on the card.

It was on their level, and not far away.

The arrangement of rooms within these star forts seems to follow a certain pattern. If Mason guessed correctly, several nearby houses should belong to the team directly under Mr. Hunter.

"The other party is a pioneering team that takes a technological approach, so I will rely on Barbara's hacking skills as the appraiser of the transaction, and Er Tong will be responsible for acting as a bodyguard."

Mason explained to his two players:

"Although it is unlikely that a conflict will break out, if things go wrong, Ergong remembers to cover Barbara and I and evacuate first."

"bass"

Er Tong did not answer, but took out the short knife he bought while shopping and played with it a few times between his fingers like a butterfly piercing flowers.

"Yes! It's the kind of person who would draw a knife and cut people at the slightest disagreement."

Mason complained:

"You are really suitable for playing the role of a violent lunatic."

Amid Barbara's chuckle, Mason straightened his clothes and knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a hoarse female voice rang out from the room:

"Who?"

"Guest."

Mason replied.

The next moment, the door opened a crack, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked out through the crack, just in time to meet Mason's eyes under his hat.

"I haven't seen you! Get out!"

This is a girl.

And she seems to have a bad temper.

Mason's attention was focused on her weird and cool hairstyle. The end of her long green hair was dyed purple and leaned to the left side of her cheek.

Part of the hair on the right side was shaved off, leaving only stubble, and a piece of exquisite silver and black metal was "embedded" in the skin above the right ear.

Well, if Mason remembered correctly, the scientific name of this thing should be "prosthetic plug-in"?

In addition to this very iconic hair, the tattoos on the arms of this girl wearing a vest also made Mason narrow his eyes.

Especially the "13" surrounded by three red roses on the right arm, and the "spider web" tattooed on the skin that can attract all eyes.

"Are you the famous Judy Alvarez?"

Mason said softly:

"It's unexpected, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Who are you?"

The stranger in front of him called out her name that had not been used for a long time, which made the girl in the house immediately alert. She even put her fingers on the heavy pistol on the waist of her black leather pants.

"I said, I am a guest and a friend."

Mason waved his hand.

The card given by Mr. Hunter appeared at the fingertips. The appearance of this thing immediately dispelled some of the hostility of the girl in front of her, and then she heard Mason say again:

"You are the "Next Life" team. I am really slow. I should have guessed who you are when I heard this name.

I am friends with Mr. Sandstorm of the Hydra team. He introduced you to me and said that you and he are excellent and professional pioneers who have worked together."

"Sandstorm?"

When Judy heard the name, she showed a trace of disgust. She gritted her teeth and said:

"We are not friends with that bastard! But if it was recommended by Mr. Hunter..."

"Click"

The protection chain of the door was opened. The girl who was not tall and even looked a little petite opened the door and pointed to Mason to signal them to come in.

And when she saw Barbara Gordon behind Mason, who was wearing a bat suit and a mask and perfectly showed her tall figure, Miss Judy, who was originally resistant, immediately brightened up.

She even became weirdly enthusiastic.

In this messy house that is more like a "workshop" than a base, she was busy preparing drinks for the reception.

She said to Barbara:

"Sorry, it's a bit messy here. Others in the team don't come here often, so I use this as my personal studio, don't mind."

"Ah? No, I don't mind."

Barbara didn't know why this pretty and unique lady was so polite to her, but she was gentle by nature and didn't put on airs but responded to this kindness.

Mason saw the exchange between the two girls.

The evil captain of the K team stroked his chin and looked at Miss Judy who always came to Barbara with a strange look.

A very dark thought then burst out in his mind.

And Judy in front of him enthusiastically helped Barbara clean up a place to sit, and then her expression turned cold when she looked at the two stinky men.

The stylishly dressed girl picked up a piece of gum from the workbench and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said impatiently:

"The blueprint of the bat suit that Mr. Hunter handed over to us is not bad. It has no disadvantages except that it is too backward. The idea of ​​making that thing can be used as armor suitable for hacker combat.

Therefore, the captain asked me to come and inspect you. If possible, we may be able to cooperate further.

Hey, give you the reward first."

As she spoke, a blue light circle jumped in her eye sockets, which seemed to be sending a message.

Then a tall man in black came out of the inner room carrying a box, and put the box in front of Mason and Ertong with a bang and opened it.

There was a strange-shaped weapon inside.

It looked like a left-hand prosthesis, which was very well made and no doubt like a real arm, but there were some special plug-ins on its skin.

Under the gaze of Mason and Ertong, the man in black picked up the thing and activated the switch. With a swoosh, the snow-white alien blade popped out of the prosthesis in a folded and ejected posture.

The extremely precise mechanical structure, like the structure of mantis limbs, makes it have amazing impact force when it pops out.

This vicious and violent weapon specially used for assassination and close combat made Ertong's eyes light up.

But Mason frowned and reached out to touch it, and the next moment the information label popped up:

Precision Mantis Blade

Quality: Epic Engineering Precision Creation·Exquisite Craftsmanship

Features: Kill the enemy·As fast as the wind·Overspeed start·Ultimate penetration·Weapon plug-in X3

Designer: Arasaka Heavy Industries

Item Description: Replace your arm with a mantis blade, what kind of genius came up with this deadly idea?

Tip: Engineering Lv3 is required to use this precision weapon. During drawing analysis, the [Photographic Memory] talent is activated and the analysis speed is increased.

"It's really good stuff."

With the blessing of his new talent, it only took Mason more than ten seconds to obtain the production drawings. He retracted his fingers with a regretful expression and glanced at the strong man in black next to Judy.

He said:

"But using the Mantis Knife requires prosthetic transformation. In order to fully unleash its brutal destructive power, I also need to implant operating system plug-ins into the nervous systems of my team members.

But that thing seriously damages health.

I will not let my team members lose their hands just to gain a temporary increase in combat effectiveness. This is not worth the loss. This thing is so insincere, Miss Judy! "

"Oh, he's still a smart guy."

Judy, who was getting close to Barbara, raised her eyebrows. This cool girl with tattoos put her hands on her hips and said to Mason in surprise:

"You are a good person who cares about the health of your team members. The captains of other teams are not as indecisive as you. Do you know how much you can get from them for such a fine mantis knife?

It's because of Mr. Hunter's personal instructions that I will increase your reward to this level.

Don't be a lion and open your mouth. "

"I didn't say you were insincere, I just don't want this!"

Mason decisively refused:

"Change it. With all due respect, you'd better take out all the prosthetic plug-ins implanted in your body. Miss Judy, if you keep wearing those things, you won't live to be 50 years old."

As he spoke, Mason took out the Quasar pistol from his waist. This action made the man in black next to Judy immediately pull out a precision pistol and aim it at Mason.

The young man glanced at him and said:

"Didn't you see we were talking? Get out of here, you rude android!"

He took off the drum drum from the pistol in his hand and put it on the table, and said to Judy:

"The blueprints for this tech pistol come from your world, and as you can see I'm also an engineer, so I'd rather have something similar than something that's harmful to my health."

"It seems that you are very resistant to body modification. Even the most basic modification to us seems like a sin to you."

Judy chewed gum and stared at Mason.

Her eyes lit up with broken light, and under the silent instruction, the tall android warrior protecting her put away his weapon and silently retreated into the inner room.

The dashing girl stepped forward, looked at the quasar pistol that Mason had taken out, and skillfully disassembled and reassembled it.

A few seconds later, she already had a fire control chip in her hand. That was something Mason got from Wayne Industries' military laboratory, and it represented Wayne Industries' most cutting-edge technological products in the military field.

But Judy stared at it like a lump of X and said:

"Your gun-making skills are good, and the handmade weapons are comparable to the finished products produced by the smart production line, but why do you use such a backward chip to control it?"

Judy narrowed her eyes.

The technological engineer from Night City grinned and said to Mason:

"Ha, I see. What you need most is actually this kind of integrated chip that you think is a 'future technology', right? What a cunning guy."

“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”

Mason also smiled, leaned on the sofa, snapped his fingers, and said to his team members:

"Barbara, it's your turn. Let's go to her warehouse with Miss Judy and pick out some smart chips for us that can be used at our technological level.

My two Batmobiles and Anti-Superman suit also need a 'mechanical intelligent heart' that cannot be locked by remote control. "

When she heard Mason asking Barbara and herself to go to the warehouse to pick goods, Judy had a visible smile on her face, but she quickly turned serious when she noticed Mason's gaze.

explain:

"Okay, I still have the authority to change your remuneration, and I think you are a good engineer, Mr. Mason. Our two teams may try to establish a long-term cooperative relationship."

"I think so too."

Mason's eyes flickered between Judy and Barbara, and he said:

"Do you want me to send a representative to your side permanently? Or maybe you will be stationed in our city as the representative of the 'Afterlife' team? After all, your world has been destroyed, right?"

Hearing Mason's words, Judy's eyes showed a complicated and lost light. She took Barbara's hand and led her to her warehouse, and said to Mason without looking back:

"Let's talk about this later. Don't touch my things. If you break it, I'll pay for it!"

Watching Judy and Barbara disappear, Mason immediately stood up and walked towards the wall directly in front of the studio under Ergong's surprised gaze.

Ertong reminded in a low voice:

"There are infrared security devices there and if you take them down they will set off the alarm."

"I don't need to steal them, Jason. What normal person would do such a thing that is almost seeking death on someone else's property?"

Mason stared at the various weapons hanging on the entire wall in front of him.

A captivating light burst out from his eyes, and he stretched out his hand toward them, just like a pervert looking at a beautiful woman after taking a bubble bath.

He whispered:

"I just want to appreciate some of these ultra-modern weapons from the future. I just want to appreciate their structure and design ideas. That's all. We can't let Barbara's 'sacrifice' go to waste."
