Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 169.2 – This wave is really not losing

Su'en stayed in Sabina's room until late at night, and before dawn, he teleported away.

After this night attack, he couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for his good self-control, this kind of turmoil would have visibly affected his attribute panel.

The taste of the succubus is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Sabina has two forms, one is the hot and charming succubus, and the other is the arrogant and domineering gangster's wife...

The feelings and sensations of the two are completely different experiences.

She can be gentle like a lady, with the charm of a wealthy woman, and also has the dominance of an arrogant queen...

Sabina can always subtly switch between various roles.

She knows what Su'en needs, and she becomes what he needs.

She always knows how to tease people just right.

For ordinary people, having such a succubus maid would be a blessing.

It's also fortunate that after the "X Serum" transformation, his body is much stronger than before.

Su'en feels that his body is... okay.

But this wave of events was not in vain.

After all, he not only joined the Umbrella Organization, but also gained half of the organization's intelligence network.

.......

The next morning, Sabina woke up from a light sleep.

She uncovered the blanket, and her beautiful body was completely exposed to the air.

Without wearing pajamas, Sabina walked barefoot on the soft carpet to the full-length mirror in the room, looking at her enchanting body in the mirror, her eyes becoming even more gentle.

For some reason, she felt that after last night's turmoil, not only was she not tired, but her complexion was rosy, and her figure seemed more plump.

Thinking of something, she smiled gently and murmured, "I'm really looking forward to the master getting stronger~"

The reason she chose to acknowledge Su'en as her master was partly out of necessity.

But there was an even more important reason, she felt that Su'en had unlimited potential.

At present, Su'en is the most stunning young person she has ever seen. With the strength of a first-tier professional, he has caused chaos in Old Lingdun, which is unique.

In terms of character, means, strength, or other aspects, he is an excellent candidate.

At least in her eyes, none of the so-called geniuses in the inner city can compare.

Will the master become a powerful "demon king"?

Sabina looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

She felt that having a master was quite nice.

In ancient times, the abilities and beauty of succubi destined them to become playthings for other powerful groups. Succubi without a demon king to attach to have always had a difficult fate, it's destiny.

Just like the experiences of other members of the family.

Sabina didn't linger for long, she put on a finely woven red dress that perfectly outlined her wonderful figure. She also personally tidied up the traces on the bed before leaving.

As she walked downstairs, the members of the steam gang all stood up to greet her.

"Madam!"

"Madam!"

"..."

These cadres and henchmen were not only here to protect the gangster's wife, but also on behalf of the Baron, to block some unwelcome suitors for her.

Sabina resumed her arrogant gangster's wife appearance and nodded to the gang members, "Good morning, everyone."

As she passed by Tommy, she suddenly became interested and reached out to pinch his face, pulling his skin long.

Tommy looked unhappy and struggled to break free, angrily saying, "Old witch, what are you doing!"

Sabina wasn't angry, she tapped his head and a faintly smiling arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, saying, "Practice your abilities well, pay more attention in your daily life, don't let people sneak in without you knowing."

With that, she left.

The gang members followed her out.

The younger brothers also noticed that the gangster's wife seemed a little different today, and they whispered behind her with some doubt.

"The madam seems to be in a very good mood today..."

"Yeah, it seems that the negotiations with the Oliver family went smoothly last night."

"Oh..."

.......

Early in the morning, Su'en went to the Hunter's Guild.

It was still early, and the Storm Manor was full of hunters who had come to receive and post tasks.

The number of tasks had skyrocketed recently, with the total amount being more than ten times that of a month ago.

The task display screen in the guild hall was moved from indoors to the outdoor courtyard. Two extra large screens were added, and the scrolling task information was overwhelming.

Su'en stood in front of the guild's task screen for almost an hour before scanning the messages.

But he didn't find the information he was looking for.

It seemed that neither spatial spells nor mental secret arts were being posted.

But he also noticed that there were many high-reward missions to explore the central area of the ruins, led by the vanguard teams formed by the big financial and family groups in the inner city. They had a lot of money, good equipment, and were led by real experts.

Not only were there second-tier professionals, but he even saw information about third-tier professionals leading the teams.

This was a situation that was impossible to see on a regular basis.

Su'en looked on with amazement, "It looks like the Duke Raphael's precious daughter is coming. But what exactly is in the ruins that is so valuable, and why does it require the urgent development by the Black Tower..."

The top professionals in the inner city are almost all important figures, they are not short of money, and they don't need to risk their lives to hunt.

But now they have come to Dawn City, which means that the pressure from the Black Tower is not small.

If it were before last night, Su'en would probably still be very puzzled.

But now that he has Sabina's intelligence, he also knows why.

He didn't look much longer and left his own coded message in the advertisement column.

This was the contact method agreed upon with Mr. Black.

After leaving the Hunter's Guild, Su'en swaggered to various taverns and bought some information from the information merchants.

But he didn't find the information he was looking for.

He knew that these things couldn't be rushed.

There is a large amount of new information about the ruins every day, and asking around will eventually yield results.

Besides, there's no need to rush now.

Before, he was wary of the Umbrella Organization's spies lurking everywhere, but now with Sabina as his maid, he doesn't need to worry.His face is not in the wanted system, so he is safe wherever he goes.

He can wait for the news slowly.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happens and he is locked by some special means, Sabina will be the first to receive the news and notify him.

After all, when encountering an SS-level wanted criminal, only senior intelligence officers in the Umbrella organization are qualified to order the arrest.

.......

However.

Su'en didn't expect that as soon as the secret message was sent out, he received a reply from Mr. Black in the afternoon.

He didn't expect Mr. Black to be lurking in the camp as well.

......

Windmill Tavern.

A table in the corner by the window.

Su'en didn't wait long there before an impeccably dressed old gentleman walked towards him.

Mr. Black took a seat and greeted him, "Su'en, long time no see."

Seeing this sensitive figure, who is also a wanted criminal, appearing in the city so openly, Su'en was greatly surprised, "Mr. Black, aren't you worried about being discovered by someone?"

Mr. Black explained with a smile, "I just happened to find an interesting alchemical item. The appearance others see of me is not what you see."

"Oh."

Su'en suddenly realized.

Mr. Black glanced at Su'en, and in his eyes full of wisdom, it seemed as if he saw through everything, and said, "It seems that Su'en has successfully advanced to the second level. Congratulations..."

Without further ado, he took out a storage ring, "The alchemical equipment you wanted has been refined for a while."

After a pause, he said with a meaningful tone, "The skull of that witch of yours is a rare material, and it took me a lot of effort to refine it. However, the distortion tolerance value required for this equipment is not low..."

Mr. Black said this not because he thought Su'en couldn't integrate this high-quality equipment.

In his impression, the young man in front of him had extraordinary rationality and calmness, so he would naturally not do anything without certainty.

This statement was more of admiration and emotion.

"Hehe..."

Su'en smiled vaguely and passed over it.

Looking at the storage ring on the table, he was already looking forward to it.

He looked at Mr. Black and also returned the courtesy, "I've troubled you."

Mr. Black smiled indifferently, thought of something, and said, "I also heard about the disturbance you caused at the 1911 Hotel before. The leader originally wanted to personally deal with the strangeness on the third floor, but unexpectedly, before he appeared, you were almost about to break the situation..."

"Ah? Is that person the leader of your organization?"

Su'en was slightly surprised to hear that the cloaked figure from before was actually the leader of the "Mirror Organization."

From Mr. Black's tone when mentioning the leader, it was obvious that the other party had the strength and character worthy of respect.

Su'en was even more curious about who that cloaked figure really was.

"Heh..."

Mr. Black smiled and seemed to have no intention of responding to the question.

......

The two chatted and had a few drinks.

At this time, Su'en asked again, "Mr. Black, what is the purpose of your visit to the camp this time?"

"There is indeed something."

Mr. Black didn't hide it and said directly, "A big shot from the Black Tower is coming. I came to check the situation and make some necessary arrangements."

Su'en guessed and asked, "Princess Theresa of the Duke's Mansion?"

As soon as he said this, Mr. Black's face showed a hint of surprise, "Oh... you know about this intelligence?"

"Well... it's a long story."

Su'en felt it necessary to explain the situation of Canosa.

In case she is taken out by these big shots at some point, it would be a big loss.

Although Su'en is not considered a member of the "Mirror Organization," he is seen as one by the outside world.

In a sense, Sabina is also considered an ally.

However, he was also curious. The intelligence head of the Umbrella organization speculated the news, but from Mr. Black's tone, he actually confirmed that the young lady from the Duke's Mansion was coming?

Su'en organized some words and said, "I accidentally obtained an ancient contract in the ruins..."

He explained lightly and roughly clarified the situation.

As Mr. Black listened, a strange expression that had never appeared on his always calm face gradually emerged.

After listening, he looked at Su'en and smiled meaningfully, "Every time I communicate with Su'en, I always get unexpected gains..."

Naturally, Su'en knew that Mr. Black had noticed his lack of vitality, and he didn't mind the teasing tone in his words.

The two had dealt with each other many times and were quite familiar, so they didn't need to be too formal when speaking.

Now that the equipment is in hand, he didn't forget what Mr. Black said before, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Black, you mentioned last time that when I reach the second level, you have some news about spiritual secret techniques to tell me?"

Mr. Black glanced at him and asked instead, "Your profession is 'Puppeteer,' right?"

"Yes."

Su'en nodded in acknowledgment. Although this profession is rare, it's not surprising that Mr. Black, a knowledgeable person, knows about it.

Mr. Black continued, "I have learned about this very powerful profession from some special channels. I also know that the founder of the 'Puppeteer' was once a famous figure in the city of Dawn... So, the founder must have a spiritual secret technique that is particularly suitable for this profession."

Upon hearing this, Su'en suddenly realized and asked, "Are you saying that you know the clue to the 'founder' of this profession?"

If it is indeed the founder of this profession, the spiritual secret technique must be the most suitable.

Mr. Black nodded and said, "At least from the intelligence I know, there are traces of that existence in a cursed space in the ruins. But unfortunately, the danger level of that space is currently 'T-level' according to the current intelligence."

"T-level?"

Su'en frowned slightly as he listened.

If even Mr. Black says it's "T-level," the level of danger in that space can be imagined.

However, since no one has survived, how does Mr. Black know?

But now that there are clues to the exclusive spiritual secret technique, what else does he want?

Su'en naturally doesn't want to give up.He felt that the old gentleman might have other sources of intelligence, but he didn't ask directly. Instead, he beat around the bush and asked, "Mr. Hei, do you think I have a chance of obtaining that psychic secret technique?"

"It's hard to say..."

Mr. Hei shook his head, guessing Su'en's thoughts, and then said with a smile, "Let's talk about this when the time is a bit more ripe in the future."

Hearing that Mr. Hei didn't completely deny it, Su'en also joked, "Could it be that when the young lady from the Duke's mansion arrives, there will be a turning point?"

Mr. Hei raised his eyebrows noncommittally and said, "You're very smart. But this matter is somewhat complicated, and many things are unclear. It's too early to discuss it now."

"Mm."

Since the conversation had reached this point, Su'en didn't dwell on the topic any longer.

But now that he had encountered a "know-it-all," he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by so easily.

Thinking of his "Black Hole Doll," Su'en said, "Mr. Hei, are you in a hurry to leave? If not, I have some knowledge about runes that I'd like to consult you on."

Mr. Hei was never stingy when it came to imparting knowledge about alchemy. Hearing Su'en's sincere request, he said, "I did have a little matter to attend to. But it's not urgent right this moment."

Upon hearing this, Su'en didn't hold back and directly said, "I've now mastered spatial abilities... So I have an idea, which is to create a rune puppet that can absorb elemental spells. But I've encountered some problems..."

He described the issues he was facing one by one.

As soon as it came to professional knowledge, Mr. Hei's expression became very serious.

Sure enough, the learned man knew immediately where the problem lay upon hearing it.

He listened to Su'en's design, nodding in approval from time to time.

After listening, Mr. Hei didn't forget to compliment, "Your idea is indeed good. However, your knowledge of runes is a bit too scattered. You lack a solid framework of knowledge, which will make it difficult to delve into higher realms in the future..."

Su'en didn't mind being "educated" and said, "I'm working hard to learn. But the knowledge of runes is profound and vast, and there's still a long way to go to master it..."

Considering that Su'en came from an unconventional background, it was already impressive that he had reached this level.

Mr. Hei's words were more out of appreciation for talent.

He didn't say much more and directly said, "The direction of your idea is problematic. Combining wind and lightning elements indeed increases the suction strength. But to carry high-level runes, the material requirements for the puppet will be very high, especially for composite runes. You also need to consider the compatibility and conflict of different elemental types. Moreover, if you want to create a puppet that can absorb most elemental spells, it's best to use third-tier runes. I think you can try combining the third-tier 'Storm Rune' with 'Little Thunder Sea'..."

"..."

Su'en listened intently.

As he listened, he realized that Mr. Hei's research on puppetry was also so profound.

However...

Although the old dean's method of teaching was very scientific, starting from the basics and gradually going deeper, he went from materials and structure to discussing third-tier runes, which only top professionals would touch upon. Su'en gradually started to feel a bit lost.

His knowledge of runes was basically piecemeal, completely fragmented, and it had only improved a bit after cramming textbooks recently.

But now, although he could understand some of it, he couldn't connect it all together.

Fortunately, Mr. Hei also took this into account. After explaining the principles for a while, it was as if he had opened his own floodgates of inspiration. It seemed that just talking was no longer satisfying, so he waved his hand grandly and said to Su'en, "Come, let's find a workshop and do some practical work."

"Great!"

Su'en readily agreed.
