Super Godly Machine Army

Upgrade the Mech!

“Huh? Just… me?” Wu Zong pointed at himself with his jaw dropped. He was terrified and couldn’t take a step. “Chief, you… Well… I…”

Liu Yanbing was good at poisoning, so he set up a few traps in the secret chamber. Nobody knew if there would be any traps or poisons in the wooden boxes. If there were, they would be activated when the boxes were opened.

“Hurry,” Jiang Li said coldly.

“Yes, Chief,” Wu Zong said. He knew Jiang Li did this on purpose and this was the only chance for him to clear Jiang Li’s suspicions. If he didn’t do as told, he would definitely be killed. So, he could only cross his fingers and pray that there were no traps and secret weapons in the boxes.

“Phew…” Wu Zong walked to the boxes, then took a deep breath and knelt down. His body was so tight and he was ready to back away when something happened. “Chief… Can you do me a favor?”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Li asked.

“If something happens to me, can you bury me in a spot that faces the ocean and has beautiful scenery. It would also be nice if you can burn me a paper man,” Wu Zong said.

“Huh…” Jiang Li said expressionlessly, “Don’t worry. If you die, I’ll mince your body and feed it to the dogs together with the leftovers.”

“Um…” Wu Zong was speechless.

He reached out and opened the wooden box on the left.

Crack!

Then they saw a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry.

“That’s a lot.” Wu Zong’s eyes popped out while the glitters of the jewelry reflected on his face. “If we exchange them for silver, we should get around five thousand taels.”

“Hm, I guess.” Jiang Li glanced over the box and nodded expressionlessly. “Open the other one.”

“Yes, Chief.” Wu Zong nodded immediately.

Apparently he was lucky, because there were no traps in the boxes. He was thrilled.

Crack! The second box was opened. There was a wild ginseng, a purple ganoderma the size of a hand, a white jade bottle and a book underneath.

“Chief, these are hundred-year-old wild ginseng and purple ganoderma. They’re both medicines of inferior-class level one.”

Wu Zong said, “They’re worth at least ten thousand taels of silver. I can’t believe we found them here in Liu Yanbing’s secret chamber.”

“Hm.” Jiang Li nodded, but he didn’t show how thrilled he was. He walked over and took the wild ginseng and purple ganoderma. A notice popped out. However, he didn’t convert them into energy points right away and put them back into the wooden box.

“Five Poison Art.”

Jiang Li picked up the book again and started reading.

This is a poison art and a level-two internal force art, but there are some missing pages. It only has information about the venom of ‘snakes’ and ‘scorpions,’ and the part about ‘snakes’ is even incomplete. Even so, it’s much more powerful than ordinary level-one arts and the venom it carries is also strong.

“Congratulations, Chief. Congratulations for getting a peerless art,” Wu Zong quickly said.

Jiang Li ignored Wu Zong. Although the Five Poison Art was pretty good, this wasn’t a book about internal force which was what Jiang Li wanted, and there were even missing pages. After putting down the book, Jiang Li picked up the jade bottle in the box. When he opened it, a pleasant smell came out. There was a crystal clear pill inside.

“Vitality Strengthening Pill.” Wu Zong widened his eyes and stared at the pill. He said excitedly, “It’s really a Vitality Strengthening Pill. It’s a medicine of superior-class level one that helps elementary-level Martial Artists form internal force.”

“Gulp!” Wu Zong swallowed hard.

The thing was. Wu Zong was a Martial Artist of peak-stage elementary-level and he had already accumulated enough vital energy. Once he succeeded in forming internal force, he would become a level-one Martial Artist. So, he wanted the “Vitality Strengthening Pill” desperately. And yet, “Vitality Strengthening Pills” were too expensive and they were difficult to make. People fought over them every time they appeared. They were worth at least a hundred thousand taels of silver or a thousand taels of gold. This was completely out of the budget of a small gang.

“Wang Gang, take them all back,” Jiang Li put the jade bottle back into the box and said.

“Yes, Master.” Wang Gang nodded, then lifted the boxes and left the secret chamber with Jiang Li.

After taking Liu Yanbing’s treasures, Jiang Li went to the vault of the Scorpion Gang, and found many ten-year medicines, Blood Energy Pills and five hundred taels of silver.

Obviously the Scorpion Gang was a lot richer than the Sirius Gang.

In the end Jiang Li also took everything Wu Zong had and returned to the Sirius Gang.

“He’s finally gone.” Wu Zong stood at the entrance of Scorpion Hall and saw the dead members who guarded the door. “Something really big happened tonight. There are still the Axe Gang and Red Flame Gang to deal with. There’s so much to do tomorrow.”

“Why do they call Jiang Li ‘Master?’ Shouldn’t they call him Chief? Is it because he has a special preference? Should I call him ‘Master’ as well? Hm, that’s right. I must do whatever Chief likes, so I can get closer to him and rise to the peak of my life.”

At the Sirius Gang. In Jiang Li’s room.

“Convert them all to energy points.” Jiang Li took out all the medicines and herbs he got today and put them on the table. There were quite a lot of them and he immediately converted them to energy points.

“Conversion successful. Received 53 energy points.”

On the panel the total number of energy points became “56.”

“Repair Wang Gang, Wang Yan and Wang Long.” Jiang Li controlled the Dominator Panel.

Buzz! Buzz! Three energy points were used. Wang Gang and the others were healed and their camouflage outfits were repaired. Wang Long’s arm was also connected to his body again.

No matter how damaged the meches were, they could be fully repaired with a few energy points as long as they weren’t broken.

“Thank you, Master.” Wang Gang and the others said.

“Hm.” Jiang Li nodded and opened a virtual window.

“Sub-window: Types of Regular Meches”

“Level-one Mechs: Combat Mech (unlocked), Cold Weapon Mech (unlocked), Firearm Mech (1/2), Intel Mech (locked), Biochemical Mech (locked)…”

“…”

“I’ve only got one Soul Tinder and it requires two to unlock ‘Firearm Mech.’ I still need one more. What a shame.” Jiang Li murmured, “It’s fine. I’ll unlock it sooner or later. When I do, I’ll have meches that can attack at a longer range.”

“Upgrade Combat Mech, Wang Gang. Make another one Combat Mech and two more Cold Weapon Meches.” Jiang Li used fifty energy points at once.

Buzz!

Wang Gang was surrounded by a white aura, which disappeared after a few seconds. He was upgraded.

Looking closely, Wang Gang didn’t look very different. He used to fight with bare hands, but he was now wearing a pair of black gloves that were made with a special kind of alloy. It was tough, soft and had high defensive power. Besides, he was promoted from a Recruit to a Private First Class.historical
