Super Mechanic: The God of Superpowers!

Chapter 143 I am your brother Hui Jin
As the Dragon Guards were escorting the three mercenary groups away, Ge Ya suddenly leaned close to Ye Xiu and whispered, "Now only you and Black Star can move freely. Since you've become Dragon Throne's subordinates, try to maneuver and see if you can release the Silver Spirit."

But before she could finish, she was dragged away by the guards.

Pert and Fatherene exchanged glances frantically, and now only Alien and Black Star were able to act.

You are the electricity, the light, and the hope of the entire Sheep Village.

Brother, it's up to you to save the Silver Spirits!

Wisander approached, wagging his demonic tail. His tone was warm, as if he had become a different person. "Since we've entered the Dragon Tank, we're colleagues. Lady Ames has always been kind to her subordinates. I'll take you to see the head steward and assign you positions."

As he spoke, he led everyone towards the archway engraved with dragon patterns, completely forgetting that he had wanted to remove Ye Xiu's armor half an hour ago.

Ye Xiu nodded. He certainly knew the pros and cons of joining Ames's camp.

The Dragon Throne's subordinates were mostly made up on short notice, with only three core members being truly important: the chief steward, who oversaw daily affairs and was Ames's cousin;
The second is the logistics director responsible for maintaining the Longtan Floating Island, who is said to be a skilled mechanic;
As for the captain of the guard, Visander, he looks thin and frail, but he is actually a great pirate who once dominated the starry sea.

These three core members, known as the "Three Heroes of Longtan", are in charge of different areas. If players come to the floating island to accept tasks, they basically have to deal with them.

Ye Xiu chatted with Visander familiarly, and with his understanding of the captain of the guard, he narrowed the distance between them in a few words.

After chatting for a while, Weisander suddenly hooked his arm around Ye Xiu's shoulder and lowered his voice, "I'm talking to you, Yixing. What's the relationship between that guy and Ames?"

"I've only met him once, how would I know?" Ye Xiu twitched his eyebrows strangely. "But you, it seems, are very interested in Dragon Throne..."

"Hahaha!" Visander laughed unabashedly, his bronze skin gleaming under the light. "Even though she always rejects my advances, with my demeanor and presence, I'll surely impress her sooner or later."

Ye Xiu carefully examined the man's scaly face and said, "According to the demonic aesthetic standards, you can be considered an atypically handsome man."

"It's just that your rival in love is Master Han!"

Of course, he didn't say the last sentence.

As for the mysterious man, he was not Ames's lover, but actually her mentor.

Among the player community, this NPC appears as a mysterious interstellar merchant. When encountered by chance, not only can rare materials be traded, but there is also a chance that a special message mission will be triggered - just like the commission he just completed.

The other party's avoidance was not an excuse. In a sense, he helped Ames resolve her worries in advance.

There are many rumors about Long Zuo's past, but her background is surprisingly ordinary.

After suffering a family tragedy in her childhood, it was this mentor who adopted the girl who was living on the streets. He not only guided her to awaken her superpowers, but also laid a foundation for her to be extraordinary.

When the master and disciple parted ways, they made a promise: when Ames's name spreads across the galaxy, that will be the time for them to meet again.

Unexpectedly, after she really achieved the reputation of Dragon Throne, that person disappeared without a trace, which gave Ye Xiu an opportunity to take advantage of.

Passing through the scattered buildings on the floating island, everyone came to a tall building with a sign that read "General Affairs Office".

In the top-floor office, more than a dozen assistants were frantically processing paperwork. An ordinary woman, buried in reviewing documents behind her desk, glanced up—it was Ames's cousin and chief confidant, the housekeeper Jenny.

"New here." Visander knocked on the door frame with his knuckles. "Assign me a position."

"Name, ability." Jenny's pen kept moving, and her speech was as fast as firing bullets.

"Alien, superpower, B-level."

Others also reported similar words.

"Okay, those from the alien planet will go to the guards. Those from the Black Star, since the mechanical team is short on people, will go to the logistics department." The pen scratched across the paper. "Uniform badges will be issued in three days."

"Okay." This arrangement was exactly what Ye Xiu wanted.

Weishande smiled and put his arm around Ye Xiu's shoulder: "I will take care of your team myself, don't worry." The captain of the demon guard seemed gloomy, but after getting along with him, you find that he is surprisingly generous.

The two had just had a very pleasant conversation, and now there was a sense of mutual understanding between them.

At this moment, Dragon Throne Ames suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, she snatched Hela and Aurora from Ye Xiu.

"Lend it to me for a while, I'll return it to you later." After saying that, Ames controlled the force field and took Hela and Aurora away.

Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.

Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he touched his double chin.

……

The rusty red metal corridor was filled with a foul stench. Hollaide was stroking the transparent cover of the confinement cabin. The skin of the curled-up Silver Spirit inside the cabin had a pearly luster.

He rejected offers from seven buyers these days, his fingertips sliding back and forth on the trading screen - those numbers were not worthy of the value of the cosmic treasure.

The encrypted communicator suddenly beeped. In the holographic projection, Paige's face looked like a crumpled star map, and his hoarse voice rubbed like rusty gears: "It's time to pay the Silver Spirit's balance."

"You're pretty tough, old buddy." Holiday shook the scarlet wine, and the blue light of the projector flowed over him.

"I was almost torn to pieces by those mercenaries!" Paki's neck was still wrapped in a bio-gel bandage. "As agreed."

"Agreement?" Hollaide suddenly leaned in close to the camera, his pupils shrinking into two golden lines. "Your cargo box was robbed, and I retrieved these treasures from the ruins."

He licked his forked tongue. "Do scavengers have to pay the idiots who lost their goods?"

Communications ceased abruptly.

Paige's pale golden skin was covered in angry purple spots, and he was so angry that he pinched the operating table and made five dents.

He hated the mercenaries who had ruined his plan even more than the unscrupulous merchants' betrayal. A plasma dagger pierced the communication terminal fiercely, and amidst the sparks came a gnashing growl: "Alien. I'm going to stuff you into the barrel of the star-shattering cannon."

Just as Paige was sulking inwardly, a matte-painted spaceship was docking in the shadows of the port.

The dark red lines that leaked out when the hatch was opened looked like dried blood.

"Ember, we're here!"

……

The Dark Star spaceship, converted into a civilian transport ship, slowly docked in the harbor, and a harsh friction sound was heard as the gangway docked with the rusty metal dock.

Huijin lowered his hood, his dark red scarf covering the lower half of his face. Twelve team members behind him dressed as businessmen, carrying weapon boxes disguised as suitcases as they walked down the gangway.

The salty air was filled with the roar of a distant fight, and dozens of greedy eyes in the shadows of the dock were like hyenas smelling blood.

As Ashes walked through the loading dock, which was piled high with boxes of contraband cargo, some kind of bluish-purple slime stuck to the soles of his boots.

At the corner of the alley, the remains of a half-cyborg human were curled up, and the exposed circuit boards were still crackling with sparks.

After making many detours to avoid the main street, the crooked alloy buildings on both sides almost pressed down on our heads, and suddenly a basin of steaming acidic wastewater poured out from a broken window.

"Boss, three o'clock." The team members whispered in the encrypted channel.

Ashes caught a glimpse of a reflection off the rusted fire escape in the corner of his eye—the cold gleam of a gun scope.

When two groups of interstellar thugs surrounded them from the front and back alleys, Ashes noticed that they both had crossbones branded on their necks.

The scarred, burly man in the lead pressed a pulse rifle against his forehead, his sulfurous breath wafting across his mask. "New here, do you know the rules of Dragon Float?"

Ashes' retinal projection flashed a carbon element distribution map, and the human body in front of him was instantly analyzed into a beating molecular structure.

When the pirate leader's knuckles began to pull the trigger, all the team members tacitly took a half step back - they had seen the signs before the captain activated his ability too many times.

Captain [Ashes]'s ability is to manipulate carbon atoms, and he can be said to be the nemesis of all carbon-based creatures.

As long as there are carbon atoms in his body, he can cause extremely terrifying real damage.

This is also the origin of the code name Ashes. The potential level of its supernatural powers is as high as A+.

Just a little bit away from reaching the extremely rare S-level.

Without any sound, the scarred man suddenly froze into a gray sculpture.

As the night wind blew, his body collapsed like a sand tower, and his nanofiber combat suit limply piled on the black carbon powder.

The remaining thugs' screams of terror were caught in their throats, and they turned into ashes of twelve human-shaped silhouettes. The only sound in the alley was the rustling of clothes on the ground.

"Cleaned up." The adjutant kicked away the metal shoulder armor that was blocking the way, and half of a carbonized mechanical prosthetic eye rolled out.

Everyone continued to move forward, stepping on the fine black crystals all over the ground. The soles of their boots made a crisp sound like breaking glass when they rolled over them.

The temporary base was chosen on the third underground floor of the honeycomb structure.

Ashes took off his breathing mask, revealing skin as pale as marble.

When the holographic projection lit up the diagram of the slave market structure, the sound of a young team member's Adam's apple rolling was particularly clear in the silence.

"Just rush in and rob them?" someone suggested.

"No." The intelligence officer pulled up the surveillance footage from the Dragon Throne Floating Palace. "Ames ripped apart a smuggling ship three hours ago, and the wreckage is still floating in low Earth orbit."

Ashes' fingertips traced a crimson trail across the holographic screen. "The Purchasing Department has prepared three hundred thousand Enas."

He paused for a moment, staring at the jewel necklace around the neck of a Silver Spirit prisoner in the projection—that was the disguised form of the Whispering Pearl. "Don't rush to use force, this is Dragon Float after all."

……

On a street on Longtan Floating Island.

Ye Xiu was leading his clones in law enforcement. He passed by a watermelon stall and casually asked, "Boss, are your watermelons ripe?"

The owner of the watermelon stall was a blue-skinned lizard man. When he heard this, he became so angry that his skin turned red. Was he here to cause trouble?

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely make sure it's cooked. Otherwise, you can chop off my tail and use it to clean the hot pot."

"Forget it, I find it smelly."

After saying that, Ye Xiu turned and headed towards the next street.

At this moment, he suddenly heard staggering footsteps behind him.

"Alien, alien planet!" Theon screamed like a mechanical cat whose tail was stepped on.

The once arrogant captain of the guards now had a biogel bandage on his nose that was still oozing with yellowish tissue fluid, and was followed by seven or eight other followers who were also injured.

Ye Xiu pretended to be surprised and turned around, crushing a carbonized eyeball on the ground with his tactical boots - that was a souvenir left behind by his clone during "training" the day before yesterday.

"Captain Xien? Your new look is quite unique." He reached out and poked the other's bruised cheekbone. "The latest tactical camouflage?"

"Please, have mercy!" Theon slumped to his knees, the stun gun at his waist clanging to the ground. "Those lunatics hung me in the mouth of the anti-gravity engine and blew me for half an hour yesterday! Just listen to my voice!"

He ripped open his collar, revealing the laser burn marks of "Rookie 007" on his neck.

Ye Xiu leaned against a rusted advertising column, fingertips fiddling with a neural blaster handed over by a guard. "We're improving the overall quality of Longtan's defense force."

He suddenly leaned over and whispered in Theon's ear, "Do you know why the Captain doesn't care? Visander bet five hundred einars that your team wouldn't last three days."

Theon's pupils contracted violently, and he finally realized that he had become the entertainment of the higher-ups.

He trembled as he pulled up the account holographic projection. The numbers danced before Ye Xiu's eyes: "Two thousand! No, three thousand! This is the money I plan to spend on the mechanical kidney!"

"What a shame." A blue light flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes, and he remotely connected to a guard's channel, "Ah Wei, prepare to start the fourth stage of "Space Bungee Jumping" special training--"

"Five thousand!" Theon's scream startled the electronic crows on the roof. "And them!" He pulled the trembling team members behind him. "These bastards each pay one thousand!"

When the transfer prompt sounded for the 13th time, the fluorescent words "Medical Fund +34000" flashed across Ye Xiu's tactical eyepiece.

Whistling, he stepped over the limp Sean and stuffed a crumpled flyer into his pocket - "Used prosthetics 50% off, contact: Technician Han from the Logistics Department."

The neon lights of the slave market spelled out "Welcome" behind him, and Theon's team was crawling towards the nearest medical station with their last breath.

……

At this moment, Ye Xiu suddenly encountered a man in a gray robe walking into the slave market. After feeling the considerable pressure from the man, he couldn't help but think to himself:
"The Ashes have indeed arrived!"

Not long after, Ashes walked out with an unhappy look on his face, and then returned to where he was staying.

"Captain, how's the negotiation going?"

Ashes' fingertips drew a scarlet track on the holographic sand table, and the three-dimensional projection of the Dragon Floating Island was decomposing.

When the adjutant saw the carbon spores wriggling in the underground pipe network, he suddenly coughed violently - those nano-scale creatures that had been lurking for three days had infiltrated the entire ventilation system of the slave market.

"The plan has changed. Let's just snatch the person away." Ashes snapped his fingers and shattered the sand table. A countdown appeared among the flying data fragments: 00:59:59.

It’s not that DarkStar doesn’t have money, it just needs to see if it’s worth it.

Besides, that unscrupulous businessman is likely to raise the price again.

And what kind of force is DarkStar?
Oh my god, we are the villains!
If you just obediently become a sucker, do you still have the professional ethics to be a villain?
……

Jenny approached Ye Xiu and said calmly, "Dragon Seat left the island the day before yesterday. Remember to behave yourself recently."

Ye Xiu curled his lips, then asked with feigned curiosity, "Where is Dragon Throne?"

"I was in a bad mood and went looking for someone to fight." The data glasses flashed a blue light, and Jenny's poker face remained unchanged.

"I will be in charge of the entire operation while Dragon Throne is away." Jenny finally looked up, her gaze behind the lenses sharp as a knife: "Wisander is in charge of security, and Haier will keep an eye on the power reactor. You'd better not have any bad ideas." These words were almost like engraving "I'm watching you" on her forehead.

Of course, Ye Xiu could hear the hidden meaning behind the words. Without saying anything, he turned around and found Hela and Aurora to talk to them about his true feelings.

……

A few days later, at the slave market.

Hollaide dialed the number and asked Ye Xiu, "Is your employer ready to pay?"

"I don't know." Ye Xiu was practicing his supernatural powers with Hela and answered casually.

"Hmph, stop wasting time!" Hollaide rudely cut off the communication, grabbed the cup filled with hallucinogenic drink and took a gulp. His pupils glowed with a strange luster and his eyes looked psychedelic.

"If the Silver Spirit refuses to compromise, the masked man will be a ready-made buyer."

He regarded Ashes as a backup and felt that he had a sure win.

Thinking of the huge profits that were about to come in, Holiday excitedly emptied the liquid at the bottom of the cup and hummed a tuneless folk song from his hometown.

In the shadows, countless prying eyes are focused here.

This is the time for DarkStar to take action.

The Ashes' plan was not to storm but to infiltrate, in an effort to avoid causing a major disturbance.

Since he didn't know whether Ames was on the floating island, even someone as arrogant as him had to act cautiously when facing a Transcendent A Grade powerhouse who could easily wipe him out.

There were several interstellar gangs mixed in the accompanying team.

Ashes easily lured this group of desperadoes into joining by disguising their identities and promising benefits.

This move can not only confuse Long Tan, but also serve as a scapegoat when necessary.

"Energy system complete?" Hui Jin confirmed, pressing his headset. "We've breached the primary intelligent defenses. 120 seconds left on the jammer activation."

The technician reported: "The target area will lose power, and the monitoring system will mistakenly interpret it as a circuit malfunction. The implanted camouflage program can maintain a 17-minute safety window."

Ashes nodded in approval of the action plan.

The task force is divided into two groups: the technical group is responsible for creating power outages, and the combat group takes the opportunity to carry out rescue operations.

When the hour hand passed the predetermined point, the entire block suddenly fell into darkness.

Amidst the exclamations that rang out one after another, the ash activated its carbon elemental perception.

The device buried a few days ago was awakened, and metal capsules disguised as stones seeped out of the cracks in the wall.

Hiss—colorless hypnotic mist gushed out from the burst capsule, instantly filling the interior of the building.

The gas, which works on the principle of nerve paralysis, took effect quickly, and the security personnel collapsed to the ground one after another.

As soon as Holland touched the alarm button, he lost consciousness and collapsed in front of the console.

……

Ashes' special ability is to manipulate carbon atoms, and can condense, separate, and reorganize molecular structures to change the form of matter.

Most substances in nature contain carbon. With his current strength, manipulating basic substances such as rocks is easy.

Under the cover of night, they sneaked into the slave market.

Guided by the fluorescent veins of carbon elements, the ash accurately located the underground cell.

The power outage caused the electronic lock to fail, and they entered the place like no one was there, releasing all the prisoners.

"Is it the rescue team?" The Silver Spirit prisoner cried with joy, but froze in place after seeing the masked man's attire.

The Dark Star warrior's mask glowed coldly, and Ashes announced to the interstellar thugs, "According to the agreement, the Silver Spirits will be ours."

As soon as a few greedy pirates raised their objections, spider-web-like black lines appeared on their skin, and then turned into carbon powder and flew away.

"Any questions?" Black mist lingered around Ash's fingertips.

Everyone trembled as they divided the remaining slaves and dared not say anything more.

But at this moment, Ye Xiu, who had been prepared, walked out from the corner, and endless thunder slammed towards the ashes.

"Not good." Huijin's face changed slightly, and then he took action boldly, controlling the carbon atoms in Ye Xiu's body, trying to decompose it into ashes.

"Buzz!"

The supernatural power passed through the lightning armor and acted on Ye Xiu.

Several panels appeared in front of me:
[You have been attacked by Ashes' Carbon Atom Deconstruction, receiving 998 points of true damage]
[You have been attacked by Ashes' Carbon Atom Deconstruction, receiving 888 points of true damage]
[Feat [Tough Body] takes effect! You are immune to all true damage!]
Through the panel vision, Ye Xiu saw a series of light blue "-0" damage values ​​appearing on his body.

The expression under the Ashes mask changed drastically. He sensed that the carbon structure in the other person's body was as solid as the matter in a neutron star.

Lightning flowed in Ye Xiu's hands, and suddenly a terrifying lightning shock wave blasted out.

A blazing shock wave erupted fiercely, like a golden spear piercing through the darkness, and shot fiercely into Ashes' face!
