"How is this?" Xia Zuo frowned, muttered a few glances at the strength tester, turned around and slowly walked towards the strength training device.
He looked very puzzled.
"Wow, God, five thousand kilograms, breaking the record, it really has potential...... Louis's exaggerated scream almost sprayed on Colin's face, Xia Zuo didn't have a black face, but Louis, who had an active personality, wouldn't let it go like this, after all, everyone could see just now that Xia Zuo was with him, but Colin still wanted to embarrass Xia Zuo.
Colin's face was already blue and white, and his eyes flashed with an unbelievable look, how could it be? How could it be possible to hit five thousand kilograms of power?
Could it be that he is a barbarian?
Colin couldn't believe it, the fist strength tester could only test the flesh-body fist power, once the additional energy would be accurately sensed, and the strength value would not be displayed, Colin was a student of the violent martial arts department, and the fighting moves were all straight violent attacks, using a pair of extremely heavy maces, so it required strong arm strength, he was tall and big, and anyone who knew the profession of violent martial arts would not question the punch that Colin had just played.
But Xia Zuo is different, although he is already famous, and most people know that he has the combat power of a mid-level martial artist, but this power is ...... It's a bit unbelievable.
The few students in the martial arts training hall almost all gathered in front of the strength tester, pointing at the values on it, and from time to time they would look at Xia Zuo with strange eyes.
They discussed one more question - is this guy human?
This is not a curse, but it is really discussing, although humans rule the world, there are not only human beings in the world, but also werewolves, vampires, barbarians, demonic alien races, etc., they really suspect that Xia Zuo is not a human!
"What's wrong with you?" asked Louis, and Xia Zuo sat on the strength training machine in a daze, not moving for a while, as if thinking about something.
"Oh, nothing. Xia Zuo came back to his senses, thought for a while and looked up and asked, "Luis, do you think my movements are standard just now?"
"It's very expressive, it's a textbook punch. Louis said in an exaggerated tone.
"But why...... According to the strength exercise formula, the punch power that I volatilized all over my body should be four to five times the power of ordinary punches, and the excellent ones can even burst seven times the limit of punch power, but I, this one, is not even four times, what's wrong?" This is where Xia Zuo's doubts lie, the value is low.
Louis was full of black lines, squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, looking like he was about to collapse.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Xia Zuo, looking over.
"Let me be quiet, I'm a scumbag with less than eight hundred fist power, and I can't talk to someone like you who is studying eight thousand fist power. Louis said sadly.
Louis is acting again, Xia Zuo is a little speechless, but this may also be what he likes about Louis, a very funny person, always brings joy.
"Fuck off!" Natsuzo scolded with a smile and kicked at Louis, who immediately jumped up with a laugh.
On this day, Xia Zuo spent all his time in the martial arts training gym, sweating like rain.
At dusk, as the number of students in the martial arts training hall gradually decreased, Xia Zuo wiped his face with a towel, got up and came to the strength tester again.
"Come and see, this kid is going to test again. A group of people gathered behind Xia Zuo, and I don't know if Xia Zuo can refresh the record he set in the morning.
Xia Zuo stood within the yellow line, very close to the strength tester, causing a wave of disappointment.
This kid is not good again.
"Bang!" The strength tester shook slightly, and the word 1342 appeared, which was more than a dozen kilograms less than the value in the morning test.
Xia Zuo rubbed his arm, pouted dissatisfied, and turned to walk out.
After a day's training, Xia Zuo may have been a little overtrained, his arm muscles were tired, and his strength was not as good as in the morning.
When Natsuzo returned to the cabin, Ray's broad body was sitting at the small table, holding a pen and drawing something on paper.
"What is this?" asked Natsuzo as he walked over in a bathrobe after taking a shower.
"Energy converter design sketch...... It's too complicated for me to figure it all out in my head. Ray pointed to his head, a little helpless, he knows all kinds of machinery, and he also has a wealth of knowledge about firearms, electricity, etc., but his understanding of himself is the most shallow, not that he can't do it, but his body is too precise, in this world he can't find the kind of repair beetle called "Loki", and it is really troublesome to repair himself by himself.
"That's ...... Then you go on, I'm hungry, go out and eat something!" Xia Zuo finished speaking, then changed into clean clothes, tightened them a little, and walked outside.
"Xia Zuo, wait. Thunder shouted as if something had sounded.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zuo stopped.
"Something for you, it's a gift when I leave. Ray said, pulling out a small silver-white box from underneath and handing it to Xia Zuo.
"What is it?" Xia Zuo glanced at a thunderbolt, took the box and turned around to put it on the table, slowly opening it.
"Wow, what a beautiful gun!" Xia Zuo exclaimed, in the groove of the silver-white box, there was a general silver-white musket, this gun had a strange shape, showing a triangular shape, the grip was on the shortest side of the three rivers, the center was hollowed, with a trigger, and some beautiful but never-before-seen patterns were engraved on it.
It doesn't look like a gun, it looks like a work of art.
"You've been doing this before?" Xia Zuo suddenly remembered, in the past few months, he could always see Lei tinkering with something, and it was as long as four or five months.
"That's right, the Trojan XIII Silent Gun is made from the broken energy converter on my body, and the inside has been modified by me to use the ordinary gunpowder bullets of this world, see that silver-gray lock? Ray explained.
"Cool!" Xia Zuo was delighted, took out the silent gun known as Troy XIII, and carefully played with it.
"Hey, by the way, are you leaving?" Xia Zuo suddenly looked up and asked in a daze.
"That's right, I'll get out of here after fixing the Ability-Converter. Ray said.
"Oh. Xia Zuo replied with some loss, of course he wanted Lei to stay for a while, so that he could ask for more knowledge, but Lei was going to leave after all, he was a special artificial person, he didn't understand the world at all, Xia Zuo couldn't tell him too many things, so he could only walk and explore by himself.
"Thank you for the gift!" Xia Zuo said with a smile, shaking the silent gun and tucking it under his robe.
Leaving the Royal Academy, the streets were brightly lit, and although it was cold at night, it was still very lively, and the returning sailors were walking in groups to the taverns, women with heavy makeup stood at the door of the decorated shops to solicit customers, and addicts were trading with unscrupulous merchants in the corners.
In the dark night of England, the sin is even more prominent.
Xia Zuo, who was going to come out to eat, saw everything, walked through the street, and came to the cold grocery store on the northernmost side of East Third Street.
The small grocery store is a little shabby, there is only one customer shopping for things, and this customer looks mysterious, wearing a black robe, so that people can't see their faces, Xia Zuo is no stranger to this kind of dress, he is also wearing it today, and he knows that the people who come to this store are not ordinary people.
I learned the news when I was in the underground fighting arena that this inconspicuous grocery store is actually a famous black shop in England City, selling groceries just as a cover-up, and what it really sells is munitions, it is said that there are even prohibited artillery for sale here, as long as you have money, you can buy any munitions.
Billy Jargustin, an arms dealer, is so famous in England that it is said that even the British government bought arms from him because he could get the latest muskets and artillery in the Steam Alliance.
Billy is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, a little sluggish, but with a thick yellow-brown tiger on his face, and smaller eyes, he looks like the kind of honest man who is not good looking and good at talking.
When Natsuzo entered the shop, he was talking to the only customer, and when Natsuzo walked over, the two conveniences immediately stopped talking.
"Huh?" Xia Zuo had a question in his heart, he smelled a slightly familiar breath, although he was puzzled, he looked at Billy behind the counter without moving, threw a money bag on the table, and said in a hoarse voice: "Boss, bring me a package of maltose." ”
"Maltose, you wait. Billy smiled and took the money bag, opened it and looked at it, and put it all away without moving.
If the money bag contains copper coins, it is really maltose, and if it is gold coins, it is not maltose, but bullets that can be used for revolvers and some muskets.
Xia Zuo looked too small and underage to buy bullets through normal channels, so he had to come here.
"Your maltose, put it away!" Billy placed the small cardboard box with the maltose pattern on it on the table and pushed it in front of Natsuzo.
Xia Zuo didn't look at it, grabbed it and put it in his pocket, no need to look at it, he had already smelled the smell of black powder, picked up the bullet, and glanced at the black-robed man beside him with his eyes, Xia Zuo turned around and walked out.
Leaving the grocery store, Natsuzo turned into a dimly lit corner next to the grocery store and began to wait quietly.
For twenty minutes, just when Xia Zuo felt why he was so bored and was about to lose his patience, the man who was taller than Xia Zuo finally came out of the grocery store, and Xia Zuo, who was squatting on the ground, immediately got up and walked towards the man.
Xia Zuo didn't hide his whereabouts at all, and the black-robed man immediately noticed Xia Zuo, turned around a little nervously, and left in a hurry.
Xia Zuo was even more puzzled, what happened to her?
followed all the way, and after not going far, he entered an alley, and the black-robed man in front of him ran up, Xia Zuo was even more puzzled, and called directly: "Peña, what are you running?"
Peña, who was running, immediately stopped, turned around and lifted the hat on his head, revealing a look of surprise and confusion: "Xia Zuo?" She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who else could I have?" "What's wrong with you?" said Natsuzo smiled and walked over.
"Oh, nothing, I thought there were bad guys. Peña said with an embarrassed smile.
"So?" Xia Zuo showed a look that seemed to be smiling, but he had seen Peña trading in the black shop for more than twenty minutes, and it was impossible to buy ordinary groceries.
"That's it......" Peña replied, and the two walked forward together, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up and mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you follow me before?"
"Someone stalking you?" Xia Zuo frowned, no wonder Peña looked like a frightened rabbit, it turned out that someone was following.
"Like, there's a person. "Peña isn't so sure.
"No, it seems, there is indeed someone following you, dear Miss Peña, you do not know how much trouble your father has caused us, and besides, you do not seem to be honest here. A deep voice sounded suddenly.
With the sound of squeaking snow, a middle-aged man dressed as a sailor stepped out of the corner, still holding a musket in his hand.
