Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 19 Being rich means being willful

Cui Mao took off his coat. Under the soft armor, his upper body was wrapped in a tight black coat, and his muscle lines were particularly clear.

The knight moved his shoulders and his body looked relaxed.

"Mr. Zhou, I am good at hand-to-hand combat and single combat."

"For me, my fist is the most powerful weapon."

Cui Mao raised his right arm.

Zhou Yi noticed that his fist was wrapped in a bandage and his entire arm was surrounded by a misty light.

"Attention."

Cui Mao exhaled a breath of white air, and his fist as fast as white mist rushed straight to Zhou Yi's jaw.

clang.

Zhou Yi raised his head slightly.

Give the other person face.

The fist that hit his chin remained unnaturally stiff, and heat slowly rose from his forearm.

Cui Mao's face turned pale instantly. He clenched his trembling right fist with his left hand, and his whole arm drooped down.

Hong Kusto synced the Tianjin Knight's thoughts with Zhou Yi.

——The overloaded deployment of [Gun Fist] couldn't break the defense, and the D-level destructive skill was completely ineffective?
——Oh no, the side effects of the gun fist are too strong this time.

——The right fist cannot be used... Alas, it will take a long time to reactivate it.

Cui Mao dragged his right hand and gave a wry smile before admitting defeat: "Thank you for letting me see the true gap between me and the strong ones."

"Small things."

Zhou Yi said casually.

There were countless monsters that attacked him in the Dead Sea. After strengthening his defense system day by day for ten years, he had never broken through the defense except for those high-level monsters in the middle and upper layers of the sea.

Zhou Yi could see it clearly just now.

The opponent's attack caused 33 points of damage, which was completely immune to the defense.

This is far from enough strength.

Zhou Yi looked at the knight in front of him and said, "It seems that your hands will be unusable for a short time."

Cui Mao nodded, and did not hide anything from the person in front of him who was much stronger than him: "My enhanced body [Spear Fist] has a characteristic. If it causes damage feedback during the battle, it will be activated and become excited, and then enter an overloaded violent state, which can cause armor-breaking effects."

"In terms of destructive power, it has reached D-level."

"Unfortunately, this is also the weakness. If it cannot cause any damage at all, the gun fist will enter a passive state of escape and fear, and the entire arm will temporarily become uncontrollable. It will take many days of recuperation for it to regain its confidence."

Zhou Yixin said he had learned a lot.

It turns out that after this enhancer strengthens part of the body, the enhanced body will also develop characteristics similar to self-will and personality.

Cui Mao’s fist can be used in advantageous situations and stalemate situations, but he is completely unable to beat disadvantageous situations.

It's a magical skill to take advantage of the wind.

Zhou Yi said, "In your current state, you should stay here for two days to recuperate before going back. It's not completely peaceful here either."

Cui Mao touched his head with his good left hand, a little embarrassed, "It's really embarrassing, sorry to bother you."

Gong Zheng led the camel into the courtyard and settled it down, and then went to prepare a container house for the guests to live in.

Zhou Yi gestured to Cui Mao to sit under the awning outside.

"Tell me about the looters here."

After a brief thought, Cui Mao said, "The robbers around here are indeed a thorny problem. Jitou Town is under the jurisdiction of Shagang and is also within the protection range of our Third Squadron. Although Changu Town is an independent area, it is also adjacent to it. Sometimes, robbers will hide in this area." "We have found out that the robbers here are basically guards and private soldiers raised by some merchants. They act secretly and have various spies in Shagang, so it is not easy to dig them out completely."

"With the Tianjin Knights stationed there, there are fewer bandits around Sand Harbor. They roam around marginal areas like here, attacking merchants and locals along the way, and plundering from time to time. There is no regular armed force in Changu Town, so it is difficult to solve this problem."

Cui Mao pointed out the key to the problem of robbery.

In the wasteland age, the poorer the place, the more likely it is to be attacked by thieves.

"But I think that even if there are thieves around, they would not dare to have any improper thoughts."

Cui Mao smiled and said, "They also serve different dishes to different people."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Not long ago, bandits led by the Enhancer attacked here, but I discovered them in time and wiped them out."

The other party was shocked: "Are they crazy? They can't even contend with the warrior crabs around them. Thieves are bullies and only pick on the safe ones... This is really unbelievable."

Zhou Yi asked him again: "Do you know a Taoist priest named Yang Si?"

Cui Mao showed a look of realization: "I remember this name. There is a public notice board of Yang Si in the hall of Shagang Alchemist Association. Why?"

"He is the enhancer who leads the team."

These words made Cui Mao's face solemn.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is the Alchemist Society behind this group of robbers?"

"No, Mr. Zhou, the Alchemist Association only provides professional ratings and professional guidance to the alchemists. Only a few senior alchemists belong to the Alchemist Association. Yang Si is just an ordinary member of the association, and has only been rated and recognized by the Alchemist Association."

"but."

Cui Mao said slowly, "The boss of Yangsi is called Ji Chang, but he is no ordinary man."

"Ji Chang is a weapons dealer. He has handled many large-scale weapons transactions, including new weapons made by electromechanical life forms and weapons from the Age of Gods in the Dead Sea... His personal background is very complicated."

"He is not only connected to some large-scale looting groups, but also an honorary knight of the Dead Sea Knights. In fact, he has obtained the protection of the Dead Sea Knights in disguise. Ji Chang's whereabouts are difficult to determine. He rarely shows up, and it is always his subordinates who show up. He is also on the key defense list of our Tianjin Knights."

Zhou Yi had a guess in his mind.

The bandits including Yang Si are here mostly for the giant who cannot stand up in the mushroom forest, and behind them is the instruction of the arms dealer Ji Chang.

Cui Mao looked puzzled: "But I still don't understand, how dare Yang Si attack you..."

Zhou Yi didn't understand either.

However, he vaguely guessed that their excavation of the giant had reached a critical stage.

Therefore, they are highly alert to every move around them, and therefore the actions they take are more radical.

But it doesn’t matter.

Fighting is as natural to Zhou Yi as breathing.

Cui Mao suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou, I have a question. The two electromechanical life forms over at the oasis are cultivating the land. They should be hired by you, right?"

"What species do you want to grow?"

"Sweet potatoes and peanuts."

"..."

The other party uttered an "ah" and his eyes became a little confused: "It's expensive to hire them, and you just want sweet potatoes and peanuts..."

Zhou Yi told the other party: "I can eat crops grown at home without worrying about adding strange things. In fact, I have high requirements for food."

Cui Mao held it in for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "That makes sense."

Zhou Yi heard what the other party was thinking.

——Having money means you can be willful and do whatever you want. It’s great…
