Chapter 407 Thoughts About A New Style (2/2)
Although there were multiple low-level machinery of the same category, they all had different functions.
”Now that my blueprint inventory is richer, I have many more choices.” Han Xiao nodded. This was not his only target. ”With these low-level blueprints, there's more material to invent blueprints. By combining the advantages of the blueprints of the same category and inventing a new blueprint, I will then create equipment of my own. It will be top-notch machinery in the same level and category, and its power might exceed its level.”
To combine the advantages of multiple blueprints and create his own blueprints!
This was the reason he combined so many low-level machines.
Han Xiao left the modification room and headed to the market area to purchase materials. He had more than 70,000 Enas in his account—taking out a small part of it would be sufficient for him to buy a large number of low-level parts. He just had to wait for them to be delivered.
Before that, he had promised Herlous to build a mechanic prosthetic.
…
In the machinery modification room, Herlous took off the bandages and exposed his empty left shoulder, on which was a very neat wound. He was a little nervous. ”What do I need to do?”
Han Xiao was measuring and recording the size of Herlous' wound, and without even looking up, he replied, ”Just don't scream too loud.”
”Wil—will it hurt a lot?”
”I will have to cut open your wound and connect the mechanic arm with your nerves, so… the pain level should be the same as cutting your arm off again, then putting a piece of metal in your open flesh. Double the pain, buy one get one free.”
Herlous' face became stiff. ”Can I take anesthetics?”
”Do you not have an idea of your physical capabilities?” Han Xiao took out a small orb expressionlessly, and it expanded into a large hammer. ”Do you want me to give you a physical anesthetic?”
”… Never mind. If I wake up midway, I would have taken the beating for nothing.”
Herlous swallowed his saliva.
”Wait a while first.” After Han Xiao finished measuring, he took out the materials and started building on the workbench. His movements were extremely fast and dazzling.
Herlous sat at the side very nervously, and seconds felt like years.
Not long after, a mechanical arm was crafted. It had a silver alloy armor, various power output structures, a small shield fixed onto the back of the hand and the forearm, and many tiny nerve connection ports where it connected to the body.
Han Xiao had the Nerves Connection knowledge, so he had combined a prosthetic mechanical arm blueprint before coming.
He took out a small knife and slashed open the scab on the wound, Herlous shivered instantly. Then, Han Xiao picked open the flesh with a small plier, lifted up the mechanical arm, aimed at the wound, and pressed it down.
Hum!
The Mechanical arm booted up, and many thin, long needles extended out from the connection port and drilled into Herlous' bones to connect to the nerves.
”Tssss!”
Herlous' body tightened immediately, and large beads of sweat rolled down his body. He clenched his teeth, but a muted scream still came out between his teeth.
After more than ten minutes, the pain finally started to fade. Through the pain, Herlous regained the senses of his left arm.
He tried moving his arm. The mechanical arm moved as he willed through the nerve connection with a buzzing sound—it was practically as swift and lively as a normal arm.
”So, this is what prosthetics feel like,” Herlous said. Then, he waved his arm slammed his fist on the ground.
Boom!
He created a shallow pit on the metal floor.
”This is the S-30 prosthetic shield arm—strong power, thick armor, a rather good model, used for pure physical combat. Use this for the time being,” Han Xiao said.
Herlous nodded. The prosthetic mechanical arm could not generate energy, so his strength as a Pugilist was somewhat weakened, but at the very least, it was much better than not having a left arm.
Herlous hated Ember, who had turned him into a disabled, but he feared him more. He never wants to meet Ember again. Luckily, that horrifying guy was already dead.
Besides, the disability was just temporary. Black Star had said that he had a chance to recover, so Herlous could not help but look forward to it.
”By the way, two days ago, the other Sunil warriors contacted me. They said that they want to discuss something with you.” Herlous suddenly recalled.
”What do they want to discuss with me? To borrow money? Tell them don't even think about it.”
”Not that.” Herlous coughed, and he was a little embarrassed. ”Actually, they want to join Black Star Mercenary Group…”
Because of what had happened with the Dragon Emperor, Han Xiao had become a nouveau riche in the mercenary industry. From what Herlous felt, the goal of joining Black Star at this juncture was very clear—they wanted to benefit from Han Xiao's identity and fame.
By using Black Star's rocketing connections in the industry, they would be able to get better treatment, which would, in turn, help them earn more money.
Therefore, it was a little bit embarrassing for Herlous to say. However, life for these warriors was not easy, so he could only agree to help the mercenaries of his race say a few words. He was nervously waiting for Han Xiao's response.
