Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 324 Only on the edge of life and death can a breakthrough be made
"Brother, you have to think about it."

The bartender Afeng held Su Xia's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Wang Teng is strong and cunning, even the boss's boss may not be able to deal with him."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips and pointed at Liu Jinjia, a level five creature beside the bar.

This boss has been sitting in a big city in the north all year round. This time he came to see his apprentice Liu Yinjia, and by the way participated in the hunt for the masked monster.

His bad temper is well known, and his strength is also extremely strong. Even if he didn't know him before, he got to know him this time through the tragedies of several gangs being wiped out.

Su Xia smiled: "I'm not really going to kill Wang Teng, but just accepting a mission."

The bartender Afeng said: "But I always feel that you just want to try."

"Why, could it be that your psychic talent is related to perception?"

"No...my psychic talent has not yet awakened, and I don't know when I will be able to awaken..."

Speaking of his talent, Ah Feng sighed, a powerful talent can often change a person's life.

But many psychic creatures did not awaken their psychic talents until they died. This kind of thing can only depend on luck.

It is rumored that the Machina once asked An Luo Company to develop a special method to stimulate the awakening of every psychic creature.

If it is really successful, then every mechanical individual can be awakened, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

But for this kind of request, Anluo Company also said that it is powerless, let alone psionic energy, even the old-fashioned energy such as oil has not been thoroughly studied.

"Little boss, are you awake?" the bartender Afeng asked Liu Tongjia.

"Difficult, let's see the opportunity."

Liu Tongjia shook his head, he was also not awakened.

It's okay if I haven't awakened all the time, I'm afraid that I will awaken a useless talent in the future.

"I still have something to do, let's talk slowly."

After chatting for a few words, Liu Tongjia took out his ID card from the self-service machine, and followed his master Liu Yinjia to go out to do tasks.

There is a store manager master who is a level [-] creature. I think he should be very smooth in the early stage, and there won't be too much danger.

After he left, the bartender Afeng said in a low voice: "I heard that many people's spiritual talents are awakened on the verge of life and death."

"Breakthrough on the edge of life and death?" Su Xia was taken aback, "Isn't this the treatment only the protagonist of the novel has?"

"Yes."

Not everyone is the protagonist of a novel, even if it is difficult to get a chance to be the protagonist, most people are just passers-by in life.

There are not many creatures who have awakened psionic talents. Many creatures Su Xia encountered before have awakened talents. That is because he has been playing high-end games and has not touched the suffering of low-level creatures.

Many members of the North Wind Organization have been on the verge of life and death for a long time, and the probability of awakening will be higher than normal people.

"Hey, I've been a psychic creature for almost three years." Afeng was inexplicably more emotional, "If anyone can help me awaken my psychic talent, I'm willing to recognize him as my big brother and hang out with him for the rest of my life."

"Then I wish you an early awakening." Su Xia said.

"Brother, what about you?" Afeng asked.

"I haven't awakened, and it's still a pool of stagnant water."

"It seems that they are all suffering brothers and sisters, let me buy you a drink!"

"Ask me? The kind of wine just now?"

"No, that's high-grade medicinal wine sent from the eastern city." Afeng smiled awkwardly, "That wine is too expensive, I can't bear to drink it myself, you don't even know how envious I was just now, that you were invited by Boss Hu liquor."

"oh, I see……"

Thoughtful, Su Xia took out the ID card from the self-service machine and put it away carefully. This card could be related to his reward of tens of millions.

He glanced at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he refused A Feng's glass of wine.

"I still have something to do. I'll come back for a drink when I'm done. I'll go buy some news."

"it is good."

It was working time, Afeng nodded and took Su Xia back to the elevator entrance.

The two took the elevator back to the ground floor.

This time, as a registered member, Su Xia bought more relevant news, such as those with the [lock] symbol before.

In one of the locked messages, there was a guess at Zero Point Tavern about the identity of the masked man.

[Identity conjecture [-]: The father of the pharmacy in Coral City]

[Reason: The masked geek appeared for the first time in Luoxing Town on the outskirts of Coral City, and the subsequent incidents were all related to Coral City. One of the mysterious creatures, powerful...]

【…】

The first guess is similar to Su Xia's.

Not only the Zero Tavern suspected that the old man was a masked geek, but the machine race must have also suspected it, otherwise Yu Tuo would not have come to the pharmacy several times in person.

After Dad disappeared, this kind of speculation gradually spread, and many people in the player community thought so.

On the forum, some players even opened posts to analyze [the similarities between Dad and the masked man], [what is Dad hiding], [does Su Yaoshi know Dad's secret identity] and so on.

In Su Xia's private message, someone asked him similar questions, even a few roommates asked him, but he answered all of them - he didn't know.

As her father's apprentice, Su Xia seemed innocent instead.

Because he is a player.

It is generally agreed that the player cannot be the Masked Man.

The reason is also very simple. If Su Xia pretends to be a masked monster at night and practices pharmaceutical skills during the day, when will he rest?There are no 48 hours in his day.

Impossible unless he hangs up.

Su Xia continued to look down.

[Identity Guess [-]: Iron Fist Golden Wolf]

[Reason: Three years ago, the senior member of the tavern 'Iron Fist Golden Wolf' who can also control metals suddenly disappeared, and his strength was close to level five before his disappearance...]

[When the masked monster first appeared, his strength was about three levels, and then he grew rapidly. The last time he appeared was close to level five. It is not difficult to judge——the masked strange man may have been extremely strong, but lost part of his strength for some reason , such as being caught by the mechanical race to extract spiritual energy...]

【…】

Iron Fist Golden Wolf, this is a relatively unfamiliar title.

There are too many masters in Zero Tavern, new masters are born every once in a while, and masters continue to disappear.

Those who disappeared, some were just tired of the life of killing, and lived a leisurely life incognito.

Some are really planted.

For example, this Iron Fist Golden Wolf, everyone believed that he died in a sea storm when he was on a sea escort mission three years ago, but the body was never found, so he was judged as [missing].

No matter how powerful an individual is, he is as fragile as an ant before the storm of nature roars.

Before Su Xia became famous, Iron Fist Golden Wolf was the most famous metal ability owner.

Next, there are several people who are guessed to be masked monsters.

Like this Iron Fist Golden Wolf, they are all missing.

Some have never demonstrated the ability to control metal, but as long as they awaken their talents, there may be a certain probability of drawing this ability.

"Iron Fist Golden Wolf, what a pity this boss is." The bartender Afeng sighed, "Three years ago, when I first became a psychic creature, he took me on a mission. He is unrestrained and free, coming and going like the wind, no less than the current Masked Man."

"Do you think it might be him?" Su Xia asked.

"It's very possible, but I can't explain where he went for the past three years... Could it be that he was really caught by the machine race?"

So far, the disappearance of many psionic creatures has been related to the machine race.

Everyone knows it, but few dare to say it publicly.

After all, this is an era when everyone is in danger, and no one wants to be targeted by the machine race.

Time passed quickly, and it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

After reading all the news, Su Xia returned to the public area on the first floor.

At this time, the atmosphere on the first floor was lively, and the smell of wine was overflowing. The group of people who had gone out to hunt the masked monsters before came back, all of them were very excited, their faces flushed, and they bragged loudly while drinking.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the corridor compartment, Su Xia heard the drunken roar of several people.

"Just a little bit!
"It's really only a little bit closer this time!"

"I almost touched the corner of the masked man's clothes, but he ran away!"

"Next time I will definitely catch..."

"..."

A few people drank a little too much, they couldn't speak clearly, their tongues seemed to be tied up, and in the end, only random roars remained in their mouths.

There were also people who were conscious and sat among the crowd, seriously describing the chase scene just now.

That scene can be described as thrilling, full of crises, ups and downs, and captivating.

"...At that time, that strange masked man met me hand-to-hand, the sword collided, and his spiritual energy exploded. My knife was able to seal his throat, and his sword pierced my heart...maybe a hero Pity the hero, we both took up our weapons at the same time, passed by, and he just drifted away..."

"It's so dangerous?"

Many people were fascinated by it, and the picture of the sword, light and sword shadow kept reappearing in their minds, and after a long time of aftertaste, they only felt that it was exquisite.

After listening, some people feel that they still know too little about the masked man.

If you can get to know him better, maybe you can succeed this time.

As a result, more people came to buy news and materials.

"I want information about the masked man, all the information!" Someone approached the bartender, Afeng, with a tone of money.

A Feng resumed his commercial smile, and said seriously: "Is the guest a registered member of the tavern?

The man shook his head: "No."

Ah Feng said: "Non-registered members of the tavern cannot access important information."

The man asked: "Is it okay to buy?"

Afeng: "No... But, the registration procedure is very simple, if the customer is willing..."

He began to recruit people into the army again, and he was very skilled in his business.

On the first floor, besides him, there are many bartenders and waiters doing the same thing.

Seeing this, Su Xia didn't stay any longer and left the tavern.

He didn't get the news he wanted in the tavern, and he didn't even find a trace of Dad's team.

Zero Tavern didn't know as much as Su Xia himself. He didn't even write down the real reason why the machine clan closed down the pharmacy, and there was no word about "hybrid experimental body".

Of course, it may be because the level of confidentiality of this information is too high, and only the senior management of the tavern knows it.

"It's time to see those people."

Su Xia stood at the gate of the tavern, clicked on the task [Burial Bones], and found the locations of several targets in Haima City.

These targets lived very close to each other, just outside the east of the city, probably in an area of ​​the outer third ring road, which saved Su Xia from running all over the city.

He stopped a car at the entrance of the tavern and took a taxi to his destination.

While in the car, Su Xia asked the taxi driver: "Master, how about the third outer ring road in the east of the city?"

"Is the young man a foreigner?" the taxi driver asked.

"Well, come to Haima City to find relatives." Su Xia replied.

"That place is not very good. They are all refugees who joined Haima City later. You have to be mentally prepared, young man."

The driver thought that Su Xia couldn't get along anymore, so he came here to join his relatives.

"Well, thank you very much..."

Su Xia looked out the window, thinking silently.

Few of the family members of the members of the Old North Wind Organization seem to be living well. They all live in slums, refugee camps, sewers, lower urban areas and other places. Life is difficult and difficult.

It's normal to think about it. Suffering can create such a team.

How many of those people who live well are willing to resist?
If they could have big fish and meat every day, without worrying about food and clothing, few would be willing to change the status quo. Even the rebels had a lot of unsteady will like Zhao Si.

"I'll rest for a while, master, call me when you arrive." Su Xia estimated the time, and it took about half an hour to arrive.

"Okay, young man, don't worry."

"Ah."

Su Xia leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes, and clicked to log out.

He returned to the earth, quickly got out of bed, left the dormitory, ran to the cafeteria, finished lunch as quickly as possible, and hurried back to the dormitory.

Several roommates have gone out to experience the VR hive. The dormitory is empty but quiet.

Su Xia brushed her teeth, then went back to bed, activated the bracelet, and went online again.

In the game world, taxis are still running smoothly.

"It should be here soon." Su Xia glanced at the time, silently clicked on the small map to check her location.

wrong……

Why is it farther away from the destination?

Su Xia's face turned cold, and she almost pulled out a knife, thinking that the driver was engaged in kidnapping and trafficking.

But he immediately thought that if he really wanted to be kidnapped, he should be knocked out first.

"I met someone greedy for money." Su Xia quickly figured out that the driver heard that he was a foreigner and was not familiar with the local area. In order to make more money, he actually took him around the city.

It's fine to steal money, Su Xia doesn't care about this money, it's mainly a waste of time, time is much more precious than money.

He took out a card and flicked it with his fingers.

"call out--"

There was only a bang, and the taxi's meter was split in two by the rapidly spinning card, the wire broke, and sparks flew everywhere.

The driver who was driving trembled all over, and almost lost his grip on the steering wheel. He trembled and said, "Young man, you... what are you going to do?"

"Master, please hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Su Xia said calmly.

"Yes……"

The driver's face turned pale, he swallowed his saliva, and realized that he had encountered a cruel person, so he didn't dare to have other thoughts.

Su Xia said again: "Master, there are a lot of foreigners coming here recently, some of them are desperadoes, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand..."

The driver's world still belongs to ordinary people, there is no fighting and killing, and there should be no intersection with the world of the masked man.

Su Xia's words saved his life.

If he continues to kill customers like this, if he gets killed by a bad-tempered foreign killer, his life will probably be in jeopardy.

On the map, the little red dot representing Su Xia finally began to approach the gray dots displayed by those targets.

The number of high-rise buildings is gradually decreasing, and the more you go out, the more desolate. Only a few low-rise bungalows are left outside the car window, and they are all dusty at first glance.

"Drip-"

Suddenly there was a horn sound from behind, and it rang several times in a row.

The driver looked nervous, turned the steering wheel hastily, drove to the right side of the lane, and gave way to the fast lane on the left.

Soon, several old large trucks passed by at high speed, and the wheels turned fast.

The taxi was not as fast as the truck, Su Xia couldn't help reminding: "Master, relax, nervousness will cause your muscles to stiffen and your body to become stiff."

"Yes, yes, I understand..."

The driver forced a smile and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief next to him.

The speed of the car couldn't go up, until 01:30 in the afternoon, Su Xia finally arrived at the destination.

The outer third ring road in the east of the city, where a large number of poor people live.

Haima City was established by refugees. The first batch of builders received a lot of benefits. After the population was sufficient, the refugees who joined later would not benefit much.

Su Xia got out of the car, the sunlight outside was a little pale, he squinted his eyes and looked forward.

"Not bad, clean and tidy, life should be fine."

Although it is a place where the poor live, it is not as messy as the slums in Coral City, but neat and orderly.

Dusty concrete resettlement houses stood in front of them, appearing very dense. The quality of life may not be high, but at least they can shelter from wind and rain, which is much better than iron sheds and rotten plastic sheds.

Su Xia noticed that the old trucks that overtook just now were also parked outside the area.

He took out the fare, handed it to the driver, and asked, "Master, do you know these trucks?"

"I know, it's the city owner's convoy." The driver replied immediately.

"The city lord's fleet is so dilapidated?"

"No, no, I heard that it was formed by his son privately to bring aid to the poor."

Taxi drivers are a living database of a city. They travel around the city every day, meet different people, and often know many things that ordinary people do not know.

Su Xia nodded silently. He had heard Cheng Men mention the city lord's son before.

That is a different kind, instead of enjoying a rich life, he worships the masked man very much, and likes to imitate the masked man, and was caught by Zero Tavern not long ago.

"There are still such people in the world."
