Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 389 Luxurious Support
"Good morning, Mr. Gongsun. It looks like you haven't rested well."

Agent Will sat at his desk with a cup of espresso in hand.Gongsun Ce tried his best to hold back the yawn that he would yawn, and said sleepily, "I think I should have slept for about 5 hours... It's enough for Wuchang Fashi."

"very nervous?"

"It's like a child's excitement before a spring outing, the joy of thinking about beating up his enemies, and the melancholy of worrying that he will screw everything up." Gongsun Ce scratched his head. Not very reliable."

"On the contrary, having such a reaction shows that you are determined." Will said approvingly, "You can even feel excited, and you are worthy of being a battle-hardened trump card."

"He has always been solid and reliable." Onowell's voice was like a bell, "Be confident, Mr. Gongsun. Now I can't find a second expert who is more trustworthy than you in the whole world!"

The eyes of the two blond and blue-eyed Hezhong men across the table were full of approval and expectation. On the face of Agent Will, it was written "worthy of being our ace commissioner", and on the face of Principal Onowell, "I know you It will work this time too.”The trust of the seniors was so strong that Gongsun Ceti didn't dare to mention his private emotional issues that he was still quietly nervous about.

Gongsun Ce took a sip of his coffee, and couldn't hold back his desire to make jokes: "Mr. Gongsun, I am really touched, but the principal's words are a bit too exaggerated... Not to mention Tianji and his eldest brother back then, Mr. Will, who was born locally, is working here It's far more reliable than me."

"That's not necessarily the case." Agent Will said seriously, "I am familiar with the land of the United States, just as the enemies of the United States are familiar with me. I think you are very aware of how important intelligence superiority is on the high-level battlefield."

Gongsun Ce couldn't be more clear about this, Situ Yi taught him an unforgettable lesson four years ago.The advantage of intelligence means that when you are still worrying about the enemy's capabilities, the enemy can already find ways to target you from all angles.With a one-way intelligence advantage, even if it is as strong as Elandia on the frontal battlefield, it will inevitably end up being defeated by the enemy.

"I see..." Gongsun Ce thought thoughtfully, "The devil in the capital of the sky is a familiar opponent in their eyes, but Gongsun Ce, who was reincarnated from Nirvana Flame, is a new enemy. I only use it in the battle of the Red Mage." After a trance, they can even know what my abilities are. At least we have an advantage at the beginning."

"To the point, Mr. Gongsun." Onowell nodded, "Now let's talk about the mission. Your first goal is to find out the source of the abnormal weather in the Hezhong territory, and the second is to strengthen and improve your own strength as much as possible."

"Does working hard to level up count as a task?"

"Forget it. You've learned a lot of the basics over the past two months, and this trip is your chance to master them," Will said.

"Looks like I'm going to learn as I go." Gongsun Ce twitched his lips, "Then what equipment will the organization approve for me this time?"

Onowell's kind smile gave him an instinctive resistance, as if a senior salesman of a prosthetic body company was trying to sell the company's new masterpiece that could easily penetrate several buildings.

"Considering your current strength, most of the equipment is meaningless to you. So this time we have prepared heavyweight support!"

Will pulls a metal box from under his desk.This box is about the size of a computer bag. The surface of the silver shell has mysterious brilliance flowing like water patterns, and the crest of the mithril pillar is engraved with golden lines in the middle, which reminds Gongsun Ce of the secret agent's signature weapon.

He understood what it was made of. The rare metal "Mithril" produced in the northern part of Hezhong, even a small piece of it is enough to raise the quality of the heart-shaped weapon to a higher level.This box made entirely of Mithril is already priceless, what high-end gadget is worth being protected like this?
Will opened the mechanism with an old key, and he lifted the lid of the box, and golden and scarlet filled the room in an instant!

It was a wine glass so luxurious that it could be called extravagant, the whole body was made of pure gold, and the body of the glass was inlaid with countless dazzling gemstones, so bright that it could illuminate Gongsun Ce's surprised face.The golden goblet contained a turbid scarlet liquid, with the aroma of blood and wine, that breath seemed to be able to penetrate into the bottom of human's heart, evoking the most essential secret desire of life.

Onowell stretched out his hand immediately after the mithril box was opened, and there was nothing in his eyes except the cup. "Awake, principal." Gongsun Ce grabbed the old principal's wrist, awakening the other's reason with pain. "...Hiss!" The old headmaster closed his hands like an electric shock, and looked at Jin Bei with fear in his eyes.

They now know why the Mithril Box is used. This thing is not a protective layer at all, it is a prop used by Agent Will to seal the Gold Cup!

"I'm stupid, Master Chi's cup?" Gongsun Ce was taken aback, "If it doesn't get smashed, why would you give it to me?"

"It is an excellent telepathy weapon, and it is your trophy."

Agent Will looked calm. He carefully picked up the cup and turned it around in his hand.Gongsun Ce noticed that there were faint burn marks on the outside of the cup, and there were several tiny gaps in the mouth of the cup, as if it had been chopped by a sharp weapon.He remembered the fierce battle at the end of June, when Master Chi used this golden cup to seal the final sword.

"I don't know what name Red Mouth gave it. I used to call it the Holy Grail of Filth. As you can see, it was damaged in the battle two months ago, but its power is still there." Will said Filth The Holy Grail was sealed again, and the entire mithril box was handed over to Gongsun Ce, "From today onwards, it will be your weapon."

Gongsun Ce held the box in fear: "Isn't the organization responsible for helping me fix it? To be honest, I'm a little afraid that things will not be easy to control if this thing blows up halfway."

"Think of the law of impermanence you inherited. No craftsman can do better than you in this regard."

Gongsun Ce had a guess in his mind and nodded slowly.He thought this was going to be the end of the matter, but the secret agent and the principal seemed to have no intention of seeing off the guests.

Onowell was wiping the sweat from his brow, and he just now recovered from the glance: "It's amazingly beautiful... Cough, now let's look at your second piece of equipment."

"Is there something more heavyweight?!"

Agent Will pushed his second piece of gear onto the desk.This equipment is small in size and exquisite in appearance. It is a gadget that can be easily hung on the belt.Then Agent Will led Gongsun Ce to the small cubicle on the side of the office, and showed him an ink painting that could be called a master.

Gongsun Ce listened to the agent's explanation, his mouth opened slightly in surprise.

·
At the same moment, Central District, Central Union University.

"Go to Hezhong, go to Usters, that's my hometown!" The blond woman with top hat was heartbroken, "Sisters, why don't you take me with you!"

"If you bring Caldesia with you, Mr. Shi Yu will be too anxious to sleep." Qin Qianbai said.

"Then let Lianyi go together~"

"It's to break into the enemy's interior, not to go on a picnic, you stupid cat." Shi Yuling poked the landlord's forehead. "What do you mean the cat cat landlord is angry!" Caldesia bared her teeth and claws, and got into a ball with the smirking huntress.Not far away, Mr. Shi Yu tried his best to maintain a serious face, trying not to let himself be infected by the relaxed atmosphere. After all, the person who is talking to him now is a big man.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Shigure." Dawn Knight shook hands with him, "In this mission, we may need your assistance."

"Assist in the capital of the sky?" Shi Yulian confirmed.

"Most of the time." The Dawn Knight handed him a stack of paper documents. Shi Yulian glanced at them briefly. At the beginning of the document was a long list of people's names and the contact information of another important person.

It seems that this time he will be responsible for investigating the old cases first.

"Understood... I'd love to."

While talking, they walked through the campus with few people and came to the first assembly department behind the laboratory building. "The last debugging will be done in 5 minutes, please everyone~" "Very happy, Miss Qiluo!" More than a dozen familiar white coats are running around under Qiluo's command, conducting emergency debugging of remote receiving equipment , to ensure that Qiluo, as the core of information protection, can maintain stable communication with the capital of the sky.Standing among the white coats, Mo Yuankai waved cheerfully when he saw them coming.

"I'm almost ready here, come and see! I promise you will like it."

A group of people followed Mo Yuankai into the depths of the warehouse, which used to be one of the assembly sites for the Man-made Mechanic God No. [-] machine, so it has an extraordinarily wide space.Shi Yuling thought of the many big robots designed by a certain intelligence dealer, and lowered his expectations to the lowest point: "What kind of big robot is this time..."

"Wow." said Qin Qianbai in front.

"?"

Shigure Rei's line of sight was completely occupied by the color of brass, and a solid wall made of unknown metal stood in the depths of the warehouse like a city wall. She couldn't help but raise her head to see the whole picture of this giant alloy creation.

It turned out to be a ship!The brass-colored alloy is cast for its swordfish-like vigorous hull, and the silver metal outlines the distinctive pattern on its surface, and the elegant ram reminiscent of a unicorn is poured at the front. .The raised trapezoidal structure in the middle of the hull forms a bridge and living area with a wide view, and above it is a huge balloon shaped like a blue whale that is being filled with gas.Its beautiful appearance is so amazing, like a vehicle that ran out of a fantasy story, Shigure couldn't help cheering in surprise.

"awesome!"

Qin Qianbai glanced at her: "It's rare to have a common language with you."

Rei Shigure didn't even put on airs: "This is an airship, an airship, an essential vehicle for fantasy stories, a synonym for dreaming, flying to the blue sky and seeking freedom! I have changed my opinion of you, information dealer, I didn't expect it You can make such beautiful things."

Mo Yuankai wiped his nose: "You can always trust me in terms of mechanical aesthetics!"

Orianna's tone was complicated: "Actually, Mo originally planned to paint it bright red and add a one-eyed structure to the horn, but I don't think it's appropriate..."

Shi Yuling immediately glared at the intelligence dealer, and Mo Yuankai quickly changed the subject: "Let's not mention this. This ship is not made like this just for the sake of looking good. There are a lot of strange and weird landforms on Usters, which are not allowed in some states. If you use ordinary energy, you need to rely on a special balloon module at this time, and I have sent the electronic version to A Ce for the specific instructions. There is also a small problem that it has not been named yet, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Bebop." "Dreamland!" "Shiny☆Fantasy!"

The girls started talking in a hurry, and Elandia waited for the fellow travelers to speak before speaking: "Venus?"

"Sounds pretty good." Gongsun Ce's voice came from behind.He hurriedly approached with a mithril suitcase and stood at the head of the line, raising one hand like a politician participating in a general election.

"Dear ladies, would you mind choosing me as captain of the Morning Star?"

Everyone has no objection to this arrangement, and everyone likes the name, so everything about the airship has been decided.They spent another half an hour discussing follow-up tasks and saying goodbye to their friends.

"If you have time to go to the Fire and Wind State, you can go to the shop I recommend~" Caldesia waved.

"That was the shop ten years ago, isn't it still there?" Qin Qianbai asked.

"I checked with my parents that most of them are still there!"

The doctor finally arrives, with several boxes of potions and some "budgets favored by native creatures" provided by a group of researchers, the latter of which looks like dog food.

"Bon voyage." The doctor hugged Gongsun Ce, "Be careful and come back safely, you know?"

"Don't worry, Miss Zhenfan, I'm not a child anymore." Gongsun Ce patted her on the back, "Thank you very much."

Orianna, who was on the sidelines, remembered when they set off from the capital of the sky four years ago, when Gongsun Ce was still laughing and pestering this cold girl, while the other party expressed concern in an awkward way.She thought to herself that four years is not a short time, and growth is not the privilege of a few people, everyone is different from the past.

The top of the warehouse opened to both sides, and the airship flew up under the gaze of everyone, rising into the blue sky like a real morning star, heading for the distant Hezhong.

·
The speed of the Venus Star is not as fast as the Lightning Caterpillar they took when they headed to Zero Island, but it is also much faster than ordinary civil aviation airliners. The wonderful technology of the sky capital makes it almost inaudible during driving, which makes time Rain zero is very satisfied.

As the captain, Gongsun Ce does not need to personally drive and navigate. Qi Luo, who has taken over the authority of the main control center, can handle route planning and detailed operations with just one thought.It took them about half an hour to familiarize themselves with the layout of the ship, allocate rooms, and carry luggage (and wow), and everyone was more or less excited like going out for an outing.

After doing all this, the five-person team gathered in the middle of the hull.The room they are in is connected to the main control room in the front and the living area in the back. The three walls can be set to one-way lighting mode, which is convenient for observing the external environment. There is a portable display screen on the large table in the room, and several paved screens are placed around it. Royal style single sofa with soft blanket.The word "living room" is written in imperial language on the metal plate beside the door, but both Qin Qianbai and Gongsun Ce insisted on calling it "the bridge".

Gongsun Ce sat on the sofa in the middle, and threw the copied plan to the members: "Look over here, ladies, here is our travel plan. The first stop of our trip is the Xuanci Road in the south of Hezhong. State, about an hour and a half later. It is the hometown of Principal Onowell, and his family and Mithril pillars will provide us with all-round support and help us understand the local customs."

Qi Luo raised her hand expectantly: "Is there any abnormal weather in the Magnificent State?"

"Yes. The dragon landform in this state is..." Gongsun Ce flipped through the text description, frowned and said, "Colorful magnetic flow? I don't quite understand it, but the information really says so. It is said that the local area began to appear more than half a month ago." The abnormal activity of the 'Magnetic Storm' and the 'Magnetic Monster' has made local residents extremely distressed..."

"It sounds like an introduction to the opening of an rpg game," Qin Qianbai said.

"That's what it says in the information." Gongsun Ce repeated helplessly, "To tell you the truth, I have never been to Hezhong and only uploaded some travel videos on the Internet. Can anyone explain the local situation to me?"

Shigure Ling shook the plan: "Before that, can you explain why there are only four characters 'adaptive' from the third page on this thing?"

Gongsun Ce silently looked at the maker of the travel plan, and the Dawn Knight was very calm.

"Due to the multiple influences of the complex local situation, we decided to choose an investigation route based on specific circumstances."

Shigure Zero's black pupils were full of doubts: "In other words, running around like headless chickens?"

"Yes."

For some reason, Elandia looked happy.

Gongsun Ce, who had guessed a little, cleared his throat, and brought up the topic: "Ahem! I believe Elandia will explain the reason at the right time. Can I ask the great traveler to introduce Hezhong for us now?"

"You have to listen to the background introduction on the boat every time?" Shi Yuling rolled his eyes, "Usters is so messy that I don't know where to start. How much do you know about the United States?"

"Hezhong..."

One of the two poles juxtaposed with the empire, a paradise for capitalists and scientific research scholars, the most trendy country in the world, and the hometown of Caldesia, this is Gongsun Ce's basic impression of Usters before setting out the mission.The night before the trip, he crammed up written materials about Hezhong at home.

As of the end of last year, the total population of Usters was about 20 billion.This empire-like giant is located in the north of the Yongguang Empire, and it is a federal country that occupies the entire northern continent.It is the "youngest" big country in the world. It was established only 1000 years ago, and it took nearly 500 years to truly unify the country. Therefore, in the eyes of old-school figures, Usters always means an upstart and a lack of Cultural heritage.

Just as Isle Zero has its vortex, and the Kingdom has its mists and crystals, so the United States has its own dragon landscape. 2000 years ago, there was a dragon disaster known as "Yaochang Disaster" that came to the North Continent. This dragon disaster brought an irreversible and catastrophic impact on the entire continent, causing dozens of completely different strange phenomena Appeared on the land of the North Continent at the same time.There are shooting stars that bring blessings, crazily growing trees, and fire winds that bring destruction, all of which are different.Some people are born to live in a beautiful environment and live comfortably, while more people live in the wind, blade rain or magnetic turbulence. They have to fight against the earth that gave birth to them, and try to defeat nature and win the world. vitality.

The ancestors of Usters grew up and grew stronger in the confrontation with the environment. They opened up habitable territories in the terrible natural environment, and relied on the differences in local landforms to divide the autonomy of the North Continent one by one. area, which is the prototype of the 51 "states" that make up the Federation today.

"...I know so much about the United States in the front world, but I don't know anything about the United States in the inner world. I don't know anything except the official association of impermanence called 'Mithril Pillar'...Did I say something strange?"

Shi Yuling started to laugh strangely when she heard the second half. She glanced at her boyfriend with a sense of superiority, raised her chin and said, "Who told you that Mithril Pillar is an official organization?"

"Ah?" Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "No, isn't that the organization of secret agents?"

"Oh, this is the so-called common sense mistake. It's true that the agents are official personnel, but the Mithril Pillar is a private organization~"

The three laymen who had never been to Hezhong all showed blank expressions, and the eldest lady spoke on behalf of the three: "What kind of chaos is this country going to get into?"

Shi Yuling twirled a short arrow at his fingertips: "Can't you figure it out? This matter has to start from a rather long past...We will continue after we have finished dealing with the matter at hand."

Almost at the same time she changed the subject, Qi Luo looked at the ceiling.

"A small aircraft is approaching." Qi Luo reported the detection situation, "Platinum gold spray paint, wingless structure, no organization or official logo, vital signs detected as one person. The other party did not send a signal to request landing... It landed at on our deck."

"This guest is a bit rude." Gongsun Ce said.

As if to refute his speech, there was a knocking sound above their heads, and there was a sense of off-line in the rhythmic knocking sound, as if they were knocking on a neighbor's door instead of the deck of the Morning Star.

The eldest lady activated the loudspeaker device and announced in common language: "Please come in."

Qiluo opened a special "passage" for this uninvited guest: the metal above the bridge moved rapidly, opening a vent directly to the deck.The guests obviously didn't care whether the way of entering the boat was legal or not, and they slid through the winding passage naturally and swiftly like a python.Three seconds later, a piece of brilliant blond hair hung upside down from the air vent like a waterfall. At the end of the blond hair was a beautiful face with curious light shining in the blue eyes.

The blond woman grinned, her teeth were as sharp as a shark's, and that smile reminded Gongsun Ce of some large carnivore.

"Hey! Can you open this hole wider, I'm stuck."
