Chapter 3 The Old Cripple

  ♂?,,

  The hundred-meter-high city wall stretches as far as the eye can see, all made of black rocks. At the joints of the stones, there are small holes, each containing a piece of colored stone. A soft glow is constantly emitted, with elemental fluctuations transmitted from within.

  It's a trigger-type defensive facility, each stone can release energy to defend against upper-level instructor attacks for ten consecutive times, and the biggest advantage is that it's easy to replace.

  A gigantic city gate thirty meters high and twenty meters wide, with a blue plaque bearing three vermilion Universal Script characters - Wanjiang City.

  At the gate, two soldiers were lounging on a recliner, next to them was a tea set and snacks, and also placed beside them was a box similar to a donation box with a notice stuck on it. The title read "Newcomers Must Know".

  Lin Feng removed the military insignia from his chest and tossed it into his sleeve, then walked calmly forward. When he reached the entrance, he took out three yuan stones and casually threw them into the donation box, ignoring the two soldiers pretending to sleep on the chairs, and directly entered the city.

  "Acquiring Fire Attribute Beast Dan, 30 yuan per piece. Some speed transactions."

  "Wan Xi refined ore, 10 yuan per ton of stone, essential for refining wind attribute recovery medicine. Currently have 10 tons in stock, please contact us if you need it."

  "Looking for a swift dragon skin, five yuan stone, can also be exchanged for a mid-level military uniform set."

  "Hiring now, led by senior instructor, killing people and beasts, fair price, those in need come to discuss."

  "Skull Territory Map, comes with Golden Skull Beast spawn location."

  “……”

  As soon as I entered the city, I heard all sorts of information being shouted out loudly by people.

  Lin Feng felt as if he had arrived at a vegetable market in the slums of Earth, and the boisterous atmosphere made his eyebrows furrow. He quickened his pace, directly passing through the area near the city gate, and only then did the streets become somewhat quieter.

  The protection fee of three yuan stones paid at the entrance can guarantee the safety of all people in Wanjiang City for one day, from 6:00 am to midnight. If you want to continue seeking shelter, you can rent a house in the city or pay two yuan stones per night to stay in an inn. Otherwise, you will be driven out of the city at midnight.

  In a chaotic place like Luoxing District, there are all sorts of deals, and it's hard to find a safe haven. Only in places within the city can people feel at ease.

  Fortunately, the city lord did not stipulate that they could not set up stalls and shout in the city, so many people would save enough goods to enter the city only once, just like buying a stall for three yuan a day.

  Wanjiang City is very large. However, there are not many permanent residents. Most of them are the city lord's attendants. There are about a thousand people, all of whom are above the rank of senior instructor.

  It's too difficult for others who want to buy a house in Wanjiang City.

  In a deep alley more than three miles away from the North Gate in Chengbei District, a wine shop emitted a sour smell of wine.

  The owner of this store is an old cripple, who was said to have been a pretty tough senior instructor, and had reached the rank of seventh-grade military officer. However, he later encountered the pursuit of a general-level figure, lost a leg, and finally escaped to the Chaotic Star District.

  This kind of person is not commonly seen even in the Luoxing District, they have real power and status, even if they are crippled, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

  "Welcome."

  The old cripple half leaned and half lay on the hard stone bed behind the counter of the great hall, using that dead father-like weak voice to casually shout a sentence, with narrowed and somewhat dirty eyes towards the young man walking in from the door.

  "After that, he said listlessly: 'Take whatever you want yourself, and put the yuan stone on the table before you leave. This store does not allow credit.'"

  There is no customer in this store at the moment.

  Lin Feng smiled, the shop was located on a street corner, selling sour wine that made people nauseous, it's abnormal if someone came to buy.

  He didn't look around, but walked straight to the counter where the old cripple was and asked directly: "I want to buy a few things, do you have any here?"

  The old cripple's face was expressionless, his eyelids didn't even flicker: "You've got the wrong place, I only have wine here."

  His voice was calm, but Lin Feng discovered a momentary change in his soul fluctuations.

  "The shops outside are all owned by the city lord, and good things are all controlled. How can they be bought? You don't have to hide it either, I was introduced by Xian Zhendong, and there's no one here now. Can you listen to what I want first? Maybe this thing is just right."

  Lin Feng's words were polite because he knew from the memory of the senior instructor he had just killed that the old cripple in front of him was the only smuggler in Wanjiang City.

  The stars are sparse, but the strength is extremely strong. The troops under each city lord are at least upper-level instructors. Those city lords had a hard time equipping their own direct descendants, how could they take them out to sell?

  So apart from the old cripple's stuff, everything else sold in the other shops is basically trash discarded by the master of Wanjiang City. At most, it can only meet the needs of some mid-ranking officers, and for Lin Feng, it's not even worth a glance.

  In the memory of a man named Xian Zhen Dong, Old Cripple had once sold a mech suit, which made Lin Feng think of his ultimate mission, and perhaps he could get one or two mission items from Old Cripple.

  Upon hearing Xian Zhen Dong, the old cripple's eyes finally opened, and a cold glint shot out from his turbid pupils. He let out a cold snort: "How dare you reveal my identity without my permission? Tell that little brat not to let me see him again, otherwise I have a hundred ways to make him wish he were dead."

  Lin Feng smiled and said: "I won't help spread this rumor because he's already dead."

  The old cripple's face, full of wrinkles, showed a hint of puzzlement, glanced at Lin Feng, and then resumed his indifference: "Speak, what do you want."

  "I need fire control system chips and combat system chips, or other similar chips. Also, I'd like to inquire about the eternal mechanical energy." Lin tried probing by mentioning a few items of system requirements.

  The old cripple's face changed and he said: "These things you want are too high-end, even if you searched the entire Luocha Twenty-Four Stars, no one would sell them."

  Lin Feng furrowed his brow and said: "I remember that you once sold a mecha, are these materials really harder to find than an entire mecha?"

  The old cripple sneered: "Mechanical armor is also divided into many types, the materials you want are used to make the highest level of mechanical armor - the core items of the Gundam series. Simply put, if the Gundam series is a seventh-level military instructor, then the mechanical armor I sell can only reach third-level at most. The gap between them doesn't need me to say more, does it?"

  Lin Feng's heart moved, he didn't think that a single high-level mech could reach the level of a seventh-grade military instructor, and if it was combined into a warlord in the end, wouldn't it be possible to reach the level of a general.

  "I don't know where I can find these materials?"

  Lin Feng took out twenty yuan stones and placed them on the counter. This was the price for buying information from Old Man Cripple, twenty yuan stones for the answer he wanted.

  "Planet 21 of the Starfield is where the tech-savvy crowd gathers, so there must be something valuable there. Additionally, most city lords have collections of similar items, unless you're willing to sell your soul to them, it's usually impossible to get. As for the Eternal Mechanical Energy, I've never even heard of it, but if we're talking about where the rarest resources are, it's undoubtedly Planet 12-3, which has never been developed before. However, to enter, you'd need to be at least a General or an 8th rank Military Instructor."

  After saying all this in one breath, the old cripple finally reached out and took away the yuan stone on the counter.

  He thought these pieces of information weren't worth twenty yuan, and his conscience bothered him a bit. The old cripple hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence.

  "In the city, three days ago, a seventh-level military instructor came, and for these few days, he has been inviting battles on the life-and-death stage. Although he has never taken it out before, I dare to be certain... He has a Gundam."
