Chapter 39: The odds are great!

"There are various systems that determine the value of a samurai. The internet has a lot of these things, from rankings based on popularity to the scale of theoretical power.

Countries around the world have their own governments. These usually run from the first to the fifth, with the first being the samurai who can be used by the government and the fifth being the samurai who are able to destroy the same group.

Most companies have adopted a simpler "phase" system, from A to C, with the occasional "D". β€”Excerpt

There is a large "Employee Only" sign hanging on the door. What is not there is a heavy lock that closes the door. I sighed, took my trench machine out of my holster, and took a few steps back.

I pinched my tongue between my lips and aimed at the sight on the top of the gun until it was intact and aligned. The 0.45 bullet clicked through the lock and tore through a hole the size of a dollar coin, which glowed red and began to melt the edges.

Push the door open with one kick. "Man, I love these bullets," I said, looking at the next room.

There are a lot of interesting types of ammunition that may interest you. I'll specify some for future testing.

"Cool," I said. I'm actually looking forward to it. "Perhaps...... Maybe I can use one arm. ”

I'm surprised it took you so long to ask. Your lost arm and eye are a hindrance.

"Well, anyway," I said.

We'll find you a good one. I think though, in this case, you might want to invest in something that is quite of a high quality. Once you've earned points and tokens to unlock such catalogs, maybe a Level II prosthetic.

"Tokens?" New East?

Unlocking the first level of directories is simple, and Vanguard only needs to unlock some of them. But the second level and beyond technology is beyond the current human capacity to reproduce. They are correspondingly more expensive, and each catalog requires many tokens to unlock. See them as a sign that you've saved enough humans to get technology that could endanger an entire race.

Xie Ci, a terrible gimmick, but at the same time there is some truth. It is never a good idea to supply a madman with nuclear weapons. "Level I is good for smaller things, right?"

That's more than enough for most of the challenges you'll face. I recommend that you aim for a Level II device in any area you really want to specialize in. For example, if the first arm you buy is of high enough quality, you don't need to replace it with a new arm frequently.

"Yes, yes," I said. The "Employees Only" area is a bit adventurous. The hallways were lined with boxes, possibly containing museum stuff, and I passed a small warehouse area with large industrial shelves filled with garbage.

Another locked door. It is thicker and has more warning signs on it. In the center of it, next to it there is a huge sign warning that anyone who passes through the door without authorization will be fined. Ha. Punishment is alive,

"Longbow Industrial Weapons Technology", I read. "It sounds promising."

The security guard around the door is VA

gua

d Constructed.

I looked to the side of the door where there was a stainless steel slab. "Do you think you can help me break in?"

But I can knock on the door.

"Knock?" I asked

The system is linked to a remote server, which in turn is linked to one of my siblings. I can't ask them to open the door, but I can connect with their vanguard. If they want to.

"Okay?" I say.

Establish! And did!

"What should I do?" I asked before looking around. "Can I shoot the door off the hinge?"

"That's rude."

I jerked my head to look at the source of the sound. The panel next to the door changes to reveal an image of a man sitting in a dark room filled with yellow-orange lights that illuminate huge computers and shelves filled with figurines.

Undoubtedly, a samurai. Every part of his face, from the nose to the top, is hidden behind a visor that looks like a flat steel plate with recessed lights. He leaned into one of the "gamer" seats, one hand out of the screen, and the other fiddling with a lit cigarette.

"You're the side?" I asked. I know all the Cantonese.

The man grinned. "Calm down, sister, I'm Brother Longbow." He gestured in my direction with his cigarette. "You're the one who knocks on the door. What's going on? I don't know you anymore. Also, what's wrong with your face? ”

"I'm ...... Cats," I said. Then I glared. "And my face is a little swollen. Took my eyes and arms. ”

"Nope. There are already three cats," he said. "I'm sorry, little sister, that one has already been taken." He pulled something out of the side, and a large keyboard slid into the field of view at the top of a gantry. He shoved the cigarette into his mouth, and then his hands suddenly parted into a mass of smaller, mechanical fingers that pierced into the plank faster than I could see. "Well, it's invading, right? Oh, you're not a cat, you're a kitten. The name will not be taken up if you wish. Also, check out the Level 1 Creature Carving. Soon you will look better. ”

"Fuck no," I said to two people.

"Well, my advice is to find something before the trolls give you a name. So, why are you calling? I'm a little busy, you know? ”

"I'm ......," I shook my head. It's weird. Samurai should be ...... Bigger. Just like celebrities. Higher than the normal population. God knows where this skinny guy sits...... Calm down. "I'm new here. It's really new. ”

I say. "I'm trying to get my friends out of this building, and we want to turn on the AA on the roof and use it as a distraction to get out of here."

"Hmm." Longbow said. "Yes, yes, I see. You know, the AA system is like thirty points. ”

My heart sank.

"You owe me a glass of wine these days, all right."

"What?"

He tilted his head slightly. "What?"

"Will you turn it on?" I asked.

"I mean, that's it, or let you die or whatever, so yes. I'm sure it will come up with some points before the bug arrives and devours it. Anyway, the damn thing has become a point. ”

I swallowed. That's really...... Generosity. "Thank you?"

"No problem, sister. Oh, what about stray cats? Gratis. ”

"What?"

"Your name. I mean, you can use your birth name, but it's not cool. ”

"I guess?" I tried.

He grinned, and his third arm removed from the screen, pulling the cigarette out of his mouth. "I'm doing a quick diagnosis in order to- ah, fuck me laterally. Ha. He shook his head, and I was under the impression that he would have frowned if he could. By the way, sister, there is a bit of a problem. ”

"What?" I asked. Is this another shoe? "Can't you open it?"

"Oh, of course. But the door above won't open. Wait a minute, I'm looking for a camera that can take pictures of the scenery around the city...... And...... A hovercar parked on the roof? What a bastard. And yellow tape and so on. ”

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Yes. Let me see if I can control it remotely and move it away from the top. The longbow moved to the side, and the fourth arm brought a drink to his lips, a very peculiar thing with a small straw and a normal umbrella inside. Well, the car broke down. He looked at the screen. Do you think you can stand up and kick it away?

"And then you'll activate it?" I asked.

"Of course, sister. Uh, do you have a way to fly back to your partner? ”

I shook my head.

"Well, it looks like you're going to be stuck on the roof. No problem. I'm going to open the door. There is a door leading to another roof passage. You go over, throw the car off the side, blow it up, one way or another, and then I'll turn on the anti-aircraft guns. Then you hide in bunker and wait for the cavalry to come, okay? ”

"What about my friends?" I asked.

Longbow smiled. "There's nothing to worry about, sister. Brother Longbow will take care of everything. ”
